High Prices Not Lowered

Detroit Free Press: Just now there
is much talk about the multitude OF
cattle being sent to the United States
from Canada under the new tariff and
the powerful effect the importation is
to have on our beef prices. The effect
is not very apparent on this side as
yet, but the talk is singularly like
some of the arguments we used to
hear back in reciprocity days, and we
are moved now, as we were then, to do
little investigating.
From statistics published by the
Canadian government we find that the
Dominion has never exported more
than 100000 head of cattle in one
year. In fact, the returns we have in
this office do not show any year when
as many as 175,000 cattle were ex-
ported from Canada, but our tables
are not complete and we will take the
100000 figure so as to be sure of be-
ing within the total.
Have you stopped to consider how
much effect on United States prices the
importation of 100000 cattle in a year
would exercise? 1t means, we sup
pose, 2OO,OO0,OO0 pounds of dressed
beef, and when you divide that
amount among 1OO,OOO,0O0 people, you
will see that it means to our supply
an addition of just two pounds of meat
apiece a year. Two pounds a year!
Why, back in 1910, our government
census showed that the American peo-
pie ate 1876 pounds year, each, and
every one of them.

Musicale at Y. M. G. A.

Seldom has Tupelo had an op-
portunity to listen to such a
musical treat as was rendered at
the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night,
Feb. 4th, by Mr.. Angelo Cor
tese and Mrs, M. S. Senter.
The least that can be said of
Mr.. Cortese is that he is master
of his instrument. Mr.. Cortese's
immediate ancestors came from
the sunny hills of Italy and all
the music and rythm of that
cloudless, sunkissed land is ex
pressed by him through the
medium of his beautiful harp.
Mrs. Senter, whose sweet voice
has so many admirers in Tupelo,
added new laurels to her we'll
earned reputation as singer.
To listen to Mrs. Senter's voice
to the accompaniment of Mr..
Cortese's harp is like listening
to the sweet murmer of some
mountain brook accompanied by
the songs of the Oriole and Lin
nett.
We trust that we may be
charmed many times by Mr..
Cortese and Mrs. Senter. Such
pweet and high class music as
they render is always welcome.

Board of Supervisors.

The monthly meeting of the
Board of Supervisors began
Monday morning with the men,
bers present as follows: B. F.
Parker, president; F. M. Roper,
w. T. Pound, W. D. McGaughey
and |. B. Cogeins.
There was a large amount of
routine business on the docket
which had to be disposed of.
The matter of grading and
and gravelling the new roads
laid out in the third district was
taken up and the bids opened
and examined by the board. The
bid Of Mack Davis, of Belden,
was found to be the lowest and
the contract for grading was let
to Mr.. Davis at 10 cents per
cubic yard. The bids for grav-
cling being considered too high
the board rejected all the bids
and left the matter open until a
satisfactory contract can be
made.
Two cars of metal culverts
were bought to be used to take
the place of small bridges on the
public roads. The cost of timber
has advanced to the point where
the board finds it economy to use
culverts.
Work will begin on the roads
as soon as the weather clears
up.

teachers to cooperate in the
work of improving conditions
everywhere.

the county health officer. He
reported that there are 1000 ed
ucable children in Lee county
with 4,200 enrolled, while the
average daily attendance is only
2, 100. He said that i'll health is
the greatest factor in causing
this low average.

Mrs. Robertson the. teachers
thanks for her splendid paper,

Mrs. Hutchinson Entertains.

Mrs. Arthur Hutchinson very
delightfully."- entertained at an
informal dinner party Saturday
evening at six o'clock in honor
of Mrs. Coker's art class and a
few other invited guests. At the
appointed time the dining room
and parIor were thrown together.
The dining table presented a
scene of loveliness in the center
of which was a huge vase Of
hand painted china filled with
carnations and ferns. Covers
were laid for twelve and to the
place cards were tied alternate
white and pink carnations.
after finding seats an elegant
six course dinner was served in
a most faultless manner. One
unique feature of the dinner was
the fact that the tempting viands
were rendered all the more
palatable by being served in
hand painted china, which art
is specially interesting to Mrs.
Hutchinson and the beauty Of
her china reflects both her good
taste and skill in this line.
Merry conversation flowed
uninterruptedly until the hour
came for deDarture when all
were unanimous in declaring
Mrs. Huthinson an ideal hostess
and the occasion mu.h enj ~
able one.

School Mass Meeting.

Pursuant to a call made by
the Board of Trustees OF the
City Schools a mass meeting OF
! the citizens of Tupelo was held
at the Y. M. C. A. building Fri
day night. The crowd was not
as large as it should have been
but those who were present,
for the most part, were en-
thusiastic. S. w. Newell was
called to the chair. Mr.. Newell
called on Messrs. F. H. Mitts
\ and J. C. Windham to state the
object of the meeting. These
gentlemen very briefly outlined
4 the needs of the school for ad-
ditional room. A number of
others responded and stated that
they were in full accord with the
views held by the Board of
8 Trustees that an additional build
ing was necessary.
Miss Edmonds, on behalf of
the teachers, made an appeal for
a new school building. This was
seconded in short talk by Mrs.
Asa w. Allen.
w. T. Reeves representing the
Board of Trustees, offered
resolution authorizing the chair
to appoint a committee to ap-
pear before the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen and suggest
to the Board the necessity of a
new building and request that
a committee be appointed to
investigate the cost and plans
and specifications of new high
school building. The chair ap-
pointed W. T. Reeves, ]. H. Led
yard, V. C. Kincannon, F. H.
Mitts, J. c.. Windham. On mo-
ton the chair was added to the
committee.
At the regular meeting Of the
Board Tuesday night this COM
mittee went before the Board
and stated the proposition to
them. The Board of Aldermen
appointed S. w. Newell, F. H
Mitts and D. w. Robins as a
committee to investigate the
plans and specifications for a
new building and to visit towns
where such new buildings are to
be found to inspect them. On
motion an order was made to
publish a notice of the purpose
of the Board to issue bonds to
raise the necessary funds to con-
struct the new building. An
election will be ordered as re-
quired by law to determine
whether or not the citizens favor
the construction of the new
school building.
While no definite plans have
been agreed upon it is the con-
sensus Of opinion that the pro
posed new building will cost IN
the neig ighborhood of $25, 10000
This sum will be needed to build
and equip the house.
