Reports from certain sections
of the country are to the effect
that "speculators" are trying to
contract for cotton and seed to
be delivered next fall at 12 cents
a pound for the coton and 60
cents a bushel for seed. This
appears to be a good price, and
many farmers will jump at the
chance, while others will take
the sensible view and let such
propositions pass.
Be patient with the candidate.
He thinks he is winning your
vote by his warm handshake
and polite, friendly manner.
You needn't tell him he isn't.
Let him alone, and listen to him.
Don't tell him you are sure he
will not come within a mile of
the winner, and then on the
other hand, don't swear to him
vnn will vnlp for him onH wnrlf
your head off for him, and then
go right along and tell the next
one the same tale. Keep him
guessing.

NOT ENOUGH ROOM
The crowded condition of the
school auditorium here each
night of the commencement ex
ercises has doubtless impressed
anew upon the minds of many
the urgent need for more room.
The auditorium is is not more
than half large enough. Addi
tional class rooms have become
a necessity also. Three hundred
and thirty pupils have been enr/%!1
nrl in Virv civ />1ncc />/% %*? *-!?? .
1V/1IVU 111 I11C OlA. 1.1(133 1UU1113 UU1ing
the session which has just
closed, and more than one hun "
dred of these were in one room.
If the school continues to increase
in numbers as it has during
the two last sessions the four
hundred mark will soon be
reached. Then where will the
children be housed?
We believe the people would
approve a pan to build an annex
to the old building or a separate
building for ihe high school department
if the need were impressed
upon them. We believe
that if the present auditorium
could be made into two class
rooms, and the stage converted
into a music room, an annex
should be erected with a large
first-floor auditorium and perhaps
a class room or two. A
ground floor auditorium has certain
advantages, and maybe disadvantages
also, over the upstairs
one.
It is to be hoped that the need
outlined above may be impress
jd upon the minds of patrons
and tax pavers to such an extent
that there may be general
discussion of the needs and the
prospects of a remedy at no disf
