dollars a week and local expenses,
must now pay from one hundred,
to one hundred and fifty dollars
for the same service. Of course,
there have been changes in 9TH

First class talent costs money.
The County Superintendent be-
comes responsible for the pay
nent of the evening lecturers and
entertainers, and must depend
upon the gate money" to make

the County's money for this pur-
pose. If the weather is favor

has chance to come out
