Decide to Abandon.
THE HIGH SCHOOLS CUT u
Free Tuition to Rural Pupils Proves
Death Blow to Academy-Prin.
cipaI Lee Known Here.

At meeting of the board OF
trustees of Sac City institute in Sac
City last week it was decided to re-
lease the present instructors and to
close the school at the end of the fall
term, the Thanksgiving intermission.
The school has been conducted in
Sac City under the auspices of the
Baptist denomination for period OF
over eighteen years and has been
maintained under difficulties arising
from lack of proper endowment, but
not without hope in it's ultimate sue
cess until the past few years.
The competition of high schools has
been recently serious obstacle to
the success of the school, the pro-
vision for free tuition at high schools
for pupils from rural communities
having considerably decreased the at
tendance at the academy
For fourteen years Prin G. 3. Lee
has made heroic struggle to put the
school on good financial basis, and
but for changes in the educational
situation this would probably have
been accomplished. The school has
had an excellent record, many OF its
graduates now occupying important
positions, and it has been noted
throughout the state for it's high edu-
,&or Nd
The disposition of the property has
not yet been fully decided, but 1t is
unlikely that it will be again used for
educational purposes. Principal Lee
has under advisement several good
offers in educational fields and will
doubtless accept one of them soon.

COST OF THANKSGIVING DINNER
Expense Of Repast for Eight People
This Season $5.57, According to
independence Journal

With the approach of the Thanks
giving season, the man who foots the
bills is figuring on how much it Will
cost when he entertains at dinner on
that holiday. Up to within ten days
of Thanksgiving the local markets had
few if any turkeys offered them, but
of course there will be quite a num-
Der brought in before next Thursday
The festive turkey is few cents high
err in price this year than he was in
1911. Last year they retailed at from
IS to 20 cents the pound dressed, but
in 1912 they will probably bring from
% to rs cents per pound. Every year
there is about so much talk regarding
scarcity of turkeys" but somehow or
other before the holiday season rolls
around the market seems to have
more or less goodly supply. Then If
the turkey would fail us there are the
duck, chicken and goose to fall back
upon; in fact, quite number prefer

25,O00,O00 bushels over the bumper
crop of 1909 New York state takes
the lead as potato producer, with
100000 bushels. Michigan is sec
ond with 34,650,O00 bushels and Wis
consin has 33,465,OOO bushels, the
greater part of which is shipped out
of the state, while Minnesota raised
31,S5O,0OO bushels. The shippers OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota say they
have potatoes to load 5000 cars with.
in short time, but cannot get the
cars.
This year is peculiar in the large
supplies of feed and the small mum
Der of hogs and cattle to consume it.
The hay crop of 72,425,OOO tons is al.
most 1S,OOO,OOO tons more than last
year, and has never been exceeded
yet thre are fewer cattle to be fed.
Cattle specialists do not look for
lower prices for beef this year be-
cause of the small supplies. There
is also only a moderate supply OF
hogs, according to statements made
by packers, while there is an immense
corn crop to feed them.
The wheat crop is 99,O00,0OO bush,
els larger than last year and is the
third largest on record, the shortage
in winter wheat being offset by the
large yield of spring in the northwest,
where there is 266,OOO,OOO bushels in
the three states, or 1875 100000 bushels
more than last year. Oats have sold
so low this year, because of the in
crease of 495,OOO,OOO bushels in the
crop, that the largest export business
in years has developed, and exports
last month We're three times larger
than those for the entire year of 1911

With the big crops there has been
increased confidence in the manufac'
turing and mercantile lines; railroads
have been crowded with traffic to an
extent where there is a net shortage
of over 10000 cars, the volume OF
traffic being restricted only by the
ability of the roads to furnish cars
and motive power. In the last four
months railroads have hauled 371,-
100000 bushels of grain to primary
markets, an increase of 113,O0O,00O
bushels over the same time last year
and of 81 ,OOO, 900 bushels as compared
with 1910.
With the big crops there has been
a wonderful change in business. Steel
mills which We're running below ca
pacity last year are now operating at
their fullest limit and have their out
put sold for the first six months Of
1913, and in some instances are be-
yond that period. All the railroad
equipment plants are crowded with
business for months to come. Ship
building yards are full of orders tie
world over, and there is scarcity OF
ocean tonnage which has restricted
export business in grain and mer-
chandise from the United States, al
though more grain has been sold
abroad from the big crops this year
than for several seasons.
An aggregate value of $4,l25,717,OO
is given for the grain, potato and hay
crops this year by the Department OF
Agriculture, an increase OF $725,OOO,-
600 over last year, when the crops
were short and prices were high.
Notwithstanding the decrease In
prices this year as compared with a
year ago, the immense yield has more
than offset the loss in prices. Wheat
values are cents lower than year
ago. corn is 6 cents bushel lower.
potatoes are 81 cents bushel lower
and the price of hay is nearly IS a
ton lower. The cron crop alone is
valued at S1,S51, 100000 and of hay
1855, 100000.
All big crop years have been put in
the shade by the yield of potatoes, with
414,2S9,OOO bushels, an increase OF
