The day's upswing was an ex
tension of the buying movement
that got started in Monday's ses

holiday and was aided somewhat
by the continued rise in values
on the London Stock Exchange,
where industrial shares sold to

Jackson county has received
$10,380.30 from the state's irre
ducible school fund according to
C. R. Bowman, county school
superintendent, this represent
ing the county's share based on
the annual school census. The
fund this year provided $1.05
for each school child between
'hi ages of 4 and 19 years, the
Jackson county census showing
9,886 children of these ages.
The Irreducible fund is at the
lowest ebb in many years ac
cording to the superintendent,
vho points out that it is often as
high as $1.50 or $1.73 per pupil.
The drop is due to the fact that
