LOCATION OF
 HIGH SCHOOLS Commission Ready For
 Big Delegation. MORE THAN FORTY COUNTIES 2 - Governor Coming Wednesday and Auditor Brandon Today. lste.se Rivalry wfn Insure Large Crowds In Montgomery wednes-
 a.y and Thursday to Appear
 Before Commission.
MORE THAN FORTY COUNTIES

The Governor. the State Auditor and the State Superintendent of Education are arranging all their engagements so that as much time as possible may be devoted to the hearing of the high school delegations tomorrow and Thursday. Reports from various points of rivalry throughout the State indi- cate that many visitors will come to the Capital City to fight for the county high schools.
 There are about forty-sev of the counties in which high schools are to be located. In the majority of these rivalry between communities is intense on the proposition of the high school location. Those who have kept in touch with the situation in the various counties can appreciate the motive of the most influential citizens of the com peting towns in bidding for the high schools.
 To win the location of-the high school in any county makes for smart pres tige in that community. The stirring strife, on the part of the towns fighting for the location of the schools is liable to be under estimated by those who do not 20 into the midst of. the communi- ties themselves. That interest in the fights Is at high tide is shown by the activity of the most prominent business and professional men in the contests.
 About the nearest comparison to thu intensity of the rivalry is the history of court house fights in a few counties of Alabama. Not that the scramble for the high schools Is inviting any bit- terness such as has characterized the fights for court houses in some in- stances. Yet the interest is right next to it. The possession of, the county high school may be reckoned as tanta- mount perhaps to the location of the court house if there is agitation over the removal of the courthouse in that county in the future. So, 1t is more for this prestige as we'll as the general educational advantages that the com munities, are girding their loins in this race of localities.
 Those to Be Considered.
 It is understood that the High School Commission will take up for immediate

 "Yes. Signorina correggio Is going with. us to New York. we are to be coming back to look after her affairs here"
 Masita uttered a little cry of aston ished protest; but 1t was almost lost in my big freinds exclamation of sat- isfaction.
 Bully for you. my boy. And if you can spare her hand for a moment, I'd like to shake 1t and say I'm mighty pleased to hear the news"

And now I'll just tell my wife that she must fix things com fortably for you on the voyage;" and off he went.

BANANAS ADVANCE ON
THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE
ON STREET TRUST QUOTATIONS
ARE IGNORED
independent Jobbers Sell at One Gent
Less Than Price Established
by Controlling Banana
Faction

Bananas advanced to 30 a pound on the
produce exchange yesterday. This nat rate
was established for all grades as against
4%@5c, which was the former quotation.
The control OF bananas by the local trust
effected the advance to the fiat SC rate on
the produce exchange and Is the outcome
of the night put up on the produce ex-
change by the independent jobbers, who
about a month ago forced the price down
to 80 nat. Quotations, however, were des-
tined to advance In few days by the
manipulation Of the trust. These prices
were frst advanced to an q &c, and then to
404ho. The next jump was to Az &c.
The advance yesterday brought the nat rate
Of Sc.
Regardless of the trust manipulations on
tho produce exchange the fact remains that
bananas are being sold on the street by
independent jobbers for prices ranging from
&c to 4Mo. 1t is said that the independent
jobbers became disguised at the trusts
manipulation the produce exchange,
where 1t was evident the odds were against
them, and decided to sell at their own
prices The result was the establishment
Of street quotations
The frst crabapplss of the season reached
the local market yesterday. The shipment
was limited to few boxes. The fruit met
with q good sale at S1.25 box.
Two carloads of peaches were received.
The market was cleared up when this ship
ment arrived. The brisk demand for peaches
made the marketing of this shipment only
a matter OF a few hours. Prices, which had
advanced on account of the temporary
scarcity, dropped back to normal The
shipment comprised both clings and free
stones. Plums, grapes berries and cherries
were in fair receipt and the demand was
equal to the supply.
Green corn declined to zoe a box for the
best stock. Summer squash was weak. New
crop celery was In fair receipt The sup
ply, however, fell far short of the demand.
