FROM SUPERINTENDENT DUKE
THE COMMERCIAL COURSE IN
DAWSON PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Will Supplement the Present High
School Studies, and Meet the De-
mand of Modern Business.

School Studies, and Meet the De-
mand of Modern Business.
The commercial course which viii
be taught in the high school thi
year for the first time has beer
adopted to meet the pressing demand
of modern business. This year two
courses will be offered, viz: classical
and commercial.
The classical is identical with the
former course of study, and should
be taken by all puplss who expect to
teach or who are preparing for col
lege. This course should also be
taken by those who are yet doubtful
of taking a college course, as it is i'm
practicable to change from the COM
mercial to the classical.
The commercial course will supple
ment the present high school studies
In English, history and mathematics,
with a liberal knowledge of business
practices. The course will include
ence and business English, business
arithmetic and bookkeeping, COM
mercial law, typewriting, spelling and
penmanship. In short, the course
proposes to give the student good
secondary education so necessary for
a successful business man, and be-
sides equip him so that when he en-
ters the business world he can take
his place therein with the odds not
against him.
Let it be understood that the two
courses are entirely separate. Both
will extend throughout the entire
high school course, and one or the
other course must be taken in its en-
tirety. When a course is once elect
ed 1t cannot be changed except for
the very best reasons. Both courses
will represent as nearly as possible
equal effort. Hence both courses will
lead to a diploma.
The commercial course may be
elected with the approval of the par
ent and the superintendent. On
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of
this week the superintendent wishes
to see any parents who contemplate
having their children change from
the old to the new course. He wishes
for the parents to fully understand
the new course, and will gladly ad-
wise with any after hearing what
plans have been made for the child's
future.
In this way we hope to relate the
school work to the life of the COM
munity and thereby administer di-
rectIy to it's needs. We will appreci-
ate your cooperation Very truly
yours, j. G. DUKES oupt.

ONE SENT TO EVERYBODY
A Premium List of the Coming COun-
ty Fair Was Sent to Every
Voter in Terrell.

1t has come to the knowledge OF
the fair committee that by some over
sight somewhere some of our country
residents have not received premium
litss. An effort was made to mail
out several copies to every voter in
the county, with the hope that they
would pass them on to their wives
and neighbors. Besides this, they
have been carried around from house
to house in Dawson.
1t is the desire of the committee
to place these lists in every home in
the county. If you have not received
one won't you be kind enough to ask
for one in any of the stores when
you come in to do your shopping, or
address Box 522, and one will be
mailed to you.

MEAT PRICES TO Be SKY HIGH
PACKING HOUSE MAN PREDICTS
FORTY CENTS A POUND.
Says Country Will Experience Com
ing Winter Greatest Shortage
of Beef in History.

says Country VIII Experience COM
ing Winter Greatest Shortage
of Beef in History.
Dawson housekeepers have been
paying 20 to 25 cents a pound for
choice cuts of beef for some time, but
that price will soon be considered
cheap in comparison TO what is said
to be coming.
This country will experience next
winter the greatest shortage of beef
in it's history. Prices which already
have advanced % to 80 per cent in
year are to be 10 to 10 per cent
higher by January /. Meat will sell
at unheard of figures.
The representative of a big packer
in Chicago says: Forty cents a
pound for the choice cuts seem GER
tainty, As cents is a probability, and
even so cents a possibility before
spring"
Geo. L. Mccarthy, proprietor of
the National Provisioner, said that
the stock population in the United
States is more depleted at present

self, Mr.. Mccarthy said, is sufficient
cause for very high retail prices.
But the drought in Kansas, Okla
homa and the Southwest has agra
waited the situation, bad before, till
it may now be called alarming.
Sky High Prices by Mid-Winter.
The expert buyer for Richard
Weber, butcher with an extensive
business in New York, didn't hest
tate to say that prices are going sky
high by midwinter.
The average price paid by the la
borer for beef today, he said, is 16
cents a pound. The same cuts will
cost is cents or more in a few
months.
The same authority predicted that
the price of sirloin steaks will creep
up cents in as many months, while
the average price of porterhouse
steaks will advance to cents in
the same period.
The corn-killing drought in Kan
sas and neighboring states has de-
prived the cattle raising sections OF
feed for their stock. Fodder re-
mains, but the corn itself, necessary
to fatten the steers for market, will
have to be shipped into sections OF
country naturally grain exporters at
an expense that will preclude the
idea of satisfactory profit by cattle
raisers at anything near the present
prices.
