Ths semi annual apportionment of state funds for the public schools of Nebraska, which will be certified bjr the state treasurer to the superintendent of public Instruction on Mar 19. will be one of the largeat ever made by the state. Forty counties have thua far failed to report -the funds for the month, but the other fifty have shown sn Increase over the corresponding period last year of approximately $8,000. "We look for an apportionment that will clve ua about tl for each person of school ge." said Superintendent Fowler today. "I well remember the time when both semi-annual apportionments together made not over fl.60 for each person of school ate. but this year we will have two-tblnls of the amount In one apportion ment. The school population of the atate la $77,000. The apportionment In December last was $316,89$ and in the Msy preceding was $300,853. So far aa I know the greatest apportionment ever msde by the state gave only $1.02 per each person of school age. We may fall a little behind our expecta tions this time, but It la doubtful."

"Judge Robertson la our candidate for governor, but unless there Is a change In the situation he can never make it. It looks to me like a free-for-all with the chances favoring a South Platte candidate. "We were preparing to Cuming county for a mighty big fight when it came to selecting delegates to the state convention on the theory that Savage would be a can' dldate for renomlnatlon, and that he ex pected an endorsement from ua. But since Savage has withdrawn the clouds have cleared away and the congressional situa tion la receiving the most of attention from politicians. . W. W.

Here a tele gram was received In acknowledgment of the donation of $200 to the Morton monu ment fund, which reads aa follows: Thanks for Donation. The generous, spontaneous Initial gift of vour party toward the Morton monu ment fund fills Ita organlaera with en thusiasm for their work. Accept hearty thanks. W.
