ordered a reduction Of from $12 to
81 for charts to be used in the PUBIC
schools. On the heels of this tremen-
dous reduction in the price of charts,
the commission voted to put the new
Arnold Kansas history in the hands OF
the school children at rs cents-Or Az
cents less than the retail price OF for
mer histories. The new seventh and
eighth grade classics will go to the
sold to school children at 20 cents.
This book is represented by members
of the commission as the equal Of any
5O-cent classic on the market.
Pursuing the plan for saving money
to the parents of the Kansas school
children, the price of the agricultural
texts, will probably be placed this af-
terEoon at a price not exceeding 40
cents a copy. The old price was 81.
cents. 1t is even possible, some COM
mission members assert. that the price
for the agricultural texts may be made
as low as 35 cents copy.
All of the new school books being
printed at the state printing plant, at
state expense and under state super
vision, are regarded as the equal and
in many cases superiors of former
texts which sold at much higher
prices. The slaughter of prices means
an annual saving of thousands Of dol
lars to the school patrons Of the state.
At the same time, the price quoted on
the books is amply sufficient to meet
all expense of printing and provide a
revolving fund sufficient to continue
the work.
The new primer, recently adopted
by the commission, will retail at IA
cents. That is the same price paid
for primers before the enactment of
the state publication act. However,
it is the opinion Of experts that the
new primer is of a much higher stand
ard than the I'D book.
The new chart and classics are now
on the presses at the state printing
plant. They will be printed, bound
and ready for delivery not later than
September 10. At present it seems
that all of the books adopted by the
commission for this years use in the
public schools will be ready shortly
after the opening of the fall school
terms. Until the new books have
been shipped and placed on the mar
kets, the old texts will be used. The
law. however. calls for the use of the
new texts and they will be adopted in
the public schools as soon as possible

Kansas City, Aug. 1S.-Five car
loads of Canadian bacon, about $50, 900
pounds, the product of approximately
seven thousand hogs, have been re-
ceived by a packing company here In
the last two days.
Officials of the company, in explain
ation asserted that the failure of the
corn crop in this section last year has
reduced materially the offerings of
hogs on the local market, making 1t
necessary for them to import meat.
Cattle receipts, too, they say, are
comparatively light. The European
situation, they declared, has nothing
to do with the price of meats.
