STARTS WANT AO"
CAMPAIGN TO GET

PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF EDUCA-
TION ADOPTS NOVEL METHOD TO
ATTRACT STUDENTS

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 12.-For the
first ime in the history of the public
schools in this city a want ad cam
paign has been resorted to for the pur,
pose of securing pupils. The campaign
was started by the board of education
to call attention to the opportunities
afforded by the evening courses at the
William Penn High school for girls
After the holiday rush season, when
plans were being made for opening this
new evening school work one of the
officials spoke of the many girls ami
young women who were at work as
extra clerks in the stores and asked
what would become of them after the
holiday season passed.
Then he suggested this would be a
good chance to call their attention to
the opportunities that may be found in
the schools to help them prepare for
permanent positions His suggestion
was approved by the members of the
board.

Cotton Reports of Cities
Show Big Gains OOer 1912

With the government reports for the
entire south showing a gain of only
about 4 per cent in the Gotten crop Of
1913 over 1912, reports from ali Of
Georgia show that the crop Of this sta G
is one-third larger than the crop of 4
year ago.
The reports by counties as issued by
the government for Georgia showed a
gain of 20 per cent, while reports fro Il
more than so Georgia cities, show a
gain of 81 per cent aver last year in
cotton received in these cities.
With cotton selling for IL 1-2 cents
a pound, which is practically the same
as last year at this time, when the
price ranged from u 5-8 to 10 cents,
the big increase in Gsorg.a's crop
brings a golden harvest to the farmers
O. the state.
The prediction which was made
months ago is substantiated to the ef-
feet that the shortage in Texas and
other western states would maintain
good prices whereas Georgia's bumper
crop would bring increased profits for
the farmers here.
The remarkable feature of the tab
ulated report is the big increase in cot
ton received at Savannah, 1,3S3,493
bales received this year, as against on
ly 96S,477 i'll 1912, which is an increase
of over 40 per cent.

number of bales received this year as

Senators and Cabinet
Members Still Scrqpping

Atlanta, Jan. 12.-Georgia's senior
senator has issued an interesting state
ment to the general effect that there is
no proper warrant for giving cabinet
officers social precedence over senat-
ors.
Senator Bacon makes the point that
membership in the house or senate is
a constitutional office, whereas the
cabinet is a creation of congress and

Therefore, Senator Bacon believes,

the point thus made. Washington so

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 11.-There
will be plenty of music at the state
fair this year. The Wisconsin State
Board of Agriculture has contracted
for eight bands and one orchestra.
An orchestra may seem out of place
at fair, but it is for use in the judg
ing pavilion where band music has
been found too heavy. While the
judges are awarding prizes an orches-
ira of nine pieces will be flooding the
pavilion with popular airs and class
ical music.
Clauder's State band will play all
of the five days. 1t includes thirty
five of Milwaukee's best musicians
It is possible that this band will be
heard down town each night of the
fair week, Sept. IA to IS.
The largest band engaged is the
famous Sheboygan band of fifty-five
pieces. This organization was the
musical hit of the fair in 1913, and
this is why it has been re-engaged for
the 1914 fair. The band includes fifty
five men, and it will be at the fair on
Tuesday, Milwaukee Day and on Wed.
nesday, State and Governors Day.
All of the other bands engaged come
highly recommended, and they include
from twenty-five to thirty-fve men.
A feature of the fair music this year
will be State Fair march written
by Walter Clauder, who has succeeded
the late Joseph Clauder as leader of
the Clauder band. Mr.. Clauder is at
work on the march, and it will be
played every day at the fair. 1t will
be dedicated to the 1914 state fair.
Another big feature planned is to
have all bands on the grounds at GER
tain hour each afternoon play national
airs as one band.
Plans for music down town each
night are being made by the Citizens
Business league state fair committee.
1t is the intention of the committee to
make Milwaukee each night of fair
week a city of light and music.
