The principal al who is in charge of such school'gi has the right to excuse a child f) from temporary attendance which C] in his opinion does not constitute w truancy as defined by the State tc Board of Education.

B. Keziah of the State Port Pilot staff, appeared In a recent Issue of The State magazine, published by Carl Goerch, in Raleigh. Owing to Its Informative matter about Brunswick county ' it Lh being republished in fuU . here.) This article, written with direct sfereqce to Brunswick County, ill apply equally or at least in large part to many another orth Carolina county. Expert* iroughout the United States who ive made an exhaustive study id analysis of conditions have sen frankly stating that there ill not be near half enough farm ,nds to supply the demands that ill rise when the war ends and le service men return. These claims of a forthcoming lortage in farm lands are alreAdy sing substantiated. In any secons of the United States it 1* iw extremely difficult to buy * irm. In these difficult centers id elsewhere, inflation has al:ady set in. Farm lands are alsady 40 per cent higher than icy wete in 19U9. This is only >r the aveiage, in many case* nd prices have already doubled ! : near that. The return to civil fe of many millions of service io" o rrl man rrn erarl in rlofana* ivii uiiu liivii vngugvu in ubibiwv idustries will increase the deland for farm lands to the point here prices may be on beyond II reason. Yet these prices will 3 paid with it more than pos- '! ble that disaster will come lat:r to those who pay too much.

About the only interest, lat the man selling land will \ ive will bbe to get every last illar his place will bring.
