DOIMGS AT THE SCHOOL.
On Monday of last week cor
tractors arrived in lioone to b'd
qi the h?ating plant for the boys'
dormitory. There were seven
bids submitted, The General
Fire Extinguishing Company, of
Charlotte, "hnvyng the lowest bid,
$5,200, and to them the contract
was awarded. Later a contract
will be let for a heating plant in
tlie Science building. .

Adfance in Cheese Prices,
The rapid advance in the price
of cheese in the last three weeks
has been phenominal. The pres
ent price, which is 21 cents, is
nearly double that of three weeks
a'o, and the prospects are that
it will go still higher. Drouth in
the middle and western states
and active foreign demand are
largely responsible for this ad
vance.
The people of Watauga county
should take advantage of this in
crease in cheese prices and en
deavor to help all factories to run
until late fall, and, if possible,
all winter. Every patron should
redouble his efforts to help his
factory run with a full supply of
milk. By so doing the average
price of milk for the entire sea-
E. College at Raleigh, is making
a water survey for the school,

power plant is being overhauled.
Another building will be erected

grounds-are being made and the j
campus enlarged.
