The rates are much higher than they were previous to the war it is doubtful whether the slight increase in wages warrant From snap judgment such conditions to previal at present. Under corn-io)uld appear that competition is the only remedy. all concerns are compelled to eliminate excessive costs and ems must get down to bedrock prices in order to make money. It does not stand to reason that an automobile can compete a railway and exist on the same or smaller charges inrates, her passenger or freight, but yet it is being done in some parts t country. Five tons of freight is a big haul for an auto truck, 40 tons is an average haul for a large freight car.

Lord, director of the budget, in a speech delivered at the seventeenth annual conference of state governors held recently at Poland Spring, Me. As a result of this economy campaign, in which we have been, still are and will continue to be engaged, we can point to the federal government as an example of courageous retrenchment, General Lord said. While public expenditures, taxation, and indebtedness of the small divisions of the government in this country have beer mounting higher and higher in a most dangerous and alarming degree, the federal government has set an example of reduction in spending, reduction in taxation and reduction in indebtedness than can be followed with profit by our state, counties, cities and towns. What the federal government has done along lines of retrenchment, the state, counties and municipalities can do and should do. This country urgently needs at this time a nation-widorganization to carry on such a campaign. In the four budget years there has been pruned from executive estimates by the Bureau of the Budget, acting for the President, a total of $1,203,771,929, an amount nearly equal to the national debt when we went into the World War. non-partisa- n .i i it . e, non-politic- .1 i al There was no Fourth of July in Eureka as far as the stranger could decern; even the rope from the flagpole was stolen which prevented the hoisting of the stars and stripes.

ROWLAND HALL SCHOOL WHERE GIRLS BECOME WOMEN it cost very little more to maintain their daughters away from home In a Rowland Hall was one of the first schools to be erected in the intermountain country. It has always stood for the highest type of instruction and the. best standards of scholarship. It was started and has always been maintained by the Episcopal Church, but it exacts no religious test of its pupils. Girls of every religious affilaition are to be found in its student body All the prominent religious communions are people have paid for some dear lessons in the experience, when they have permitted themselves to be led j the basic principles laid down by the founders of our girls clothes are modest and all wastefulness and lavish expenditure is forbidden. Then, too, the girls have a careful oversight of trained teachers and are not on the street spending their money day after day. The school always welcomes interested visitors. WHEN MOVIES STARTED. represented. The school day opens each morning with a short service in the chapel This is of course the way to begin the day. In the beautiful chapel there Is a splendid pipe organ and the girls themselves have an oragnized choir of fifty voices. At the chapel service visitors are frequently seen and they are always welcome. Sometimes Rowland Hall has been called exclusive and snobbish. It is of course neither. The only girls who are excluded are those whose characters will not bear close scrutiny. In a fine cultured family like that of Rowland Hall snobbishness cannot find a place. Snobishness is only found in those large schools like many of our high schools, where the heavy enrollment tends to castes and cliques. You do not find this in a private school. Rowland Hall has always been called expensive. This, too, is untrue, if Its charegs are compared wtih those of other private schools. It costs just one-hawhat it costs in the private schools of California and the East. If parents would stop and figure how much it costs them to keep their daughters at home they would find that lf American good school. In a school like Rowland Hall the (By Terry Ramsaye.)
