Consid erable anti-United Stales sentiment in Brazil is resulting from news paper comment on Hip unfavorable situation growing out of the high rate of exchange fo'r the American dollar in the last five months. Dur ing this period the value of the Bra zilian milreis has dropped from 23 to 10 cents to the dollar, its low est mark in more than 20 years.

NEWLAND URGES STATE TO AID In Matter of Transporting Children To School In Rural Communities Newland, January 10 The New land High School Board met Friday flight and discussed the proposition to put trucks on for the transporta tion of pupils, and also adopted a petition to the General Assembly for State aid. The petition urges passage of a measure for state aid in. carrying children toschool in the rural com-. munitTes, for the following reasons: "First, it Is the only way to secure equality of opportunity. Cotuo'lda tipn of rural schools' and the estab lishment of rural high schools are already rapidly going forward in this section and throughout the State; and these steps are conceded children and country children who live near the school. "Secondly, '.the State says in its compulsory law that children be- ;tween tl,e a6es of elKt and four- for all the costs -of transportation is frequently too heavy for a rural com- in u n it y to assunio when it has al ready taxed itself for the establish ment of the rural high school, which often leaves a debt on the people. Thee country people deserve consid eration from the State; and only through State aid for transportation of pupils can they be put anywhere near on a level in education with the more favored sections of the State. "Lastly, the country people are willing to bear their proportion of the expense of aiding our Institutions for hlghsr education, although few comparatively Speaking find their way to these institutions. But we respectfully submit that our educa- tional structure should be built up from the bottom and opportunities fr elementary education equalized. 1" that way every section of our State will have en equal chanco to prepare their sons and daughters to enter the larger Institutions of learn- mgn scriooi education. This is th; 1 only way to wipe out the blot of 11 l'terary and to make good our boast of equal opportunity." Kl'REKA LOIHiR MEETS TONIGHT FOR DEGREE WORK Eureka Lodge, A, F. and A.
