Indications are that the procedure will grow even more interesting in the future. One of the first things asked for is a million dollars for expense money to help reduce the cost of living. Mr. Average Citizens swallowed hard when he read about that little item in the paper, but he finally let It pass by with the thought that it probably would be worth a million dollars to reduce the prices. ' Next thing the investigation does is to show where a million egg were held in cold storage.- Horrible!! , . Those eggs were ordered to be immediately released from captivity. The result was a reduction of one jthousandth of a cent per dozen in prices. That's the result now, ',. Next winter, when the hens quit laying and the people look to the cold storage houses to supply them with esrgi there's going to be another story to tell. There is also going to 4jb another recond established in the trieh cost of eggs. , That's the second thing that has been accomplished by the investiga tion.- ; . :. v.- '"":;; Wednesday or Thursday there n liinr hHHr"g i in flu 0,00(1 worth of butter haa been discovered in hoarding.'. The news : was extensively featured. It was a. big item.' The investigators patted themselves on the back. Fifty thousand dollars worth of butter ' sounds like an awful lot : nntil you begin to remember that. Bill Ellison or . R. Mixon or any other , wholesale boose doesn't think it any V bjg stunt to buy $10,000 worth of tJuitter. The unearthing of ' that amount of butter may be a big feat, : tout Jn the language of the poets, "itaoesnjt mean anything." i, This investigation is a great thing. It's a great .thing for .Congress to hide behind io.escape the wrath of the general public. : But as far as results are concerned "there ain't ' gonna be no resujts.", 1 ''".' Not until tbe law .of supply and demand adjust itself and ;not until ' the government quit selh'ng produce; at a big profit to foreign concerns : will we ever ' have aoy reduction in1 prices. Oh, yes, we may see a re-1 duction in one or two items as the result of the investigation just to ; make everybody feel . good but we'll get soaked for higher prices on some other items to make up for it , t Investigations are awfully expen sive Investigations are also an . awi nu"ance. In the words of the iBraelties: 'V70 1 . ' .?v osi yy asnington , .i.iit i !va more t!,;m : . ,) t j r.-.y iU U-ae.her for - six i-,. ' i.

Last year only three schools in the county, Red Oak,' Nashville and Cas talia received appropriations from the State and county for high school education. Under the new law each school is placed upon its own merit and the number of high schools has been increased to eight by the addi tion to last year's list of Middlesex", Bailey, Spring Hope, Mount Pleas ant and. Whi takers. . The present in dications are that Oak Level, ' Willi ford, Bunn and perhaps others will qualify as high schools at an early date. This will put a high school within reach of almost every boy and girl in the county. IrseeaBlBf Scaaa f Sckeela. There is a strong tendency in the direction of practical education in all of these schools.. Bed Oak pre pares young men and women for life or for college without Latin. Thor ough courses in agriculture" and do mestic science taught by the labora tory method are being substituted for this language of the Ancient Ro mans. Castalia. Nashville and Spring Hope are putting in laboratory equipment . for the coming year which will enable them to offer ef fective courses in science. Castalia will put in a regular high school course in agriculture as a substitute for Latin and part time classes' in domestic science. Miss Stribling, the Home Demonstration Arent, will teach domestic science in a num ber of the schools. Oak Level and Bunn have regular class rooms and equipment for such classes and have been carrying them for several years. . ;, " . ;,; ; , - Caaty Werltrs As a UalCT A plan has been devised by which the County Workers, which includes Superintendent of Public Welfare, Farm Demonstrator, Home Demon stration Agent, Health Officer and County .Superintendent, of Schools will carry out a unified program in such a way that no Bchool will be neglected and at the same time there wars n 4npHcation of JJfforJ,- Mask CMaty Oaks.

These workers together with the State Board of Health -will have in every school a regular club or class of all pupils from the fourth grade up, the purpose of which will be the teaching of citizenship. The programs will be furnished to the schools from the office of the County Superintendent and will have a reg ular period of an hour and a half week on the schedule of each school. 1. ' v Vaildlag Frofrasa.. ; Never before has there been such enthusiasm in the county for better school houses. The total building program for the year amounts to over $100,000. .
