Many Schools Relieved
Financial Stress of Many Dis-
tricts Relieved by Judge Brown-
lee's Ruling at Fxcise Hoard
Meeting.
Kingfisher, Okla., The County
Excise Board has been meeting
and adjourning from time to time
but transacting no business by
reason of the injunction suit
pending in the Federal Court,
against the State Hoard of Equal-
ization, to prevent the Board
from certifying the railroad val-
uations to the various county
boards.
At the meeting: of the county
excise board held Saturday, Oct
28, Judge Brownlee, Chairman of
the Hoard, placed a different con-
struction on the language used in
Section (i, Chapter 226 of the
Laws of 1917, in reference to
school districts, not having lail
road valuations, and ruled that
such districts were not involved,
and that the Yxci.se board could
proceed with the approval of the
estimates of such districts, and
make the levies of the taxes to
provide funds for such schools.
Judge Brownlee's decision is
approved by some of the leading
lawyers of Kingfisher.
The excise board thereupon
formally approved the estimate
in all school districts, not affect-
ed by the railroad valuations, and
made the levies provided by law.
Judge Brownlee held that the
taxpayers in such districts could
not complain or bring suit, as
such taxpayers had not appealed
from the action of the county
board of equalisation, when that
board approved the assessed val
uations made by the county as
sessor, md that the federal in-
junction only affected the valua
tions which the state board of
equalization has power to fix;
which consists of the valuations
of transportation, transmission
and pubiic service corporations.
School teachers in such districts
in King fisher-co may now receive
their pay.

U. S. Government Seeks to Prevent Forest Fires
Forest exploitation on private timberlands, wasteful methods of lumbering and forest fires have
so depleted our virgin forests that without public sentiment urged for the need of forest preser-
vation, the U. S. would soon be facing a timber famine. Members of the U. S. Forestry service
are giving every possible assistance to make this preservation.

Teach Them
In Childhood
One of the imporiant tilings in j'the child's
early education is THRIFT. It is equally
important as the three "R's" and should not
be overlooked. I he youngster should be
trained to save money. Teach them to bank
their money and in a few years they will thank
you for putting them on the thrift road.
Start them with a dollar or five dollars or
more and watch with them howr the interest
grows.
IT'S THE BE SI TRAINING.
