The action of the meeting in
the interest of good roads which
was held here last Monday shows
that the taxpayers are going to
do something in the direction of
improving our public highways.
The meeting unanimously en-
dorsed the State Highway bill
which is now pending before the
legislature. This bill calls for q
tax levy of Is cents which will
go to make up a state fund. The
aid from the state will .be given
to counties spending money for
the improvement of public roads.
and those counties failing to
make any provisions for road
improvement will have to pay
the 15-cent tax levied by the
state and receive nothing in re-
turn. Therefore, in order to get
value received for the 15-cent
state tax levy Smith county will
have to at least raise another
levy to the amount of Is cents to
be expended on the roads. Of
course Smith county is not going
to sit idly by and let her sister
counties get the benefit of the
tax assessed by the state.

Oral Knowles of Nogales. more recently of Los Angeles, entered our school last week taking up 9th grade work.
 The fifth grade pupils bld fair to carry off the banner for at- tendance Tn the Intermediate room. there being very few ab- sences since the New Year.
 The manner in which the pu- pills of the 9th grade are wrest- lung this week with Decimal Fractions is not unlike Jacobs wrestling with the Angel in the Desert. Were it not for that troublesome Decimal Point" all would be lovely.

UNUSUAL WOOL SITUATION Demand for Wool for Army Cloth- ing Pushes Lou Grade Wool
 Aboue High Grade.

One of the extraordinary fea- lures of the wartime rise in wool, the price of which has been till recently moving diametri- cally opposite to that of cotton, has been the unprecedented ap- preciation in coarse and medium grade wools as the result of the heavy demand from the warning European nations for material for army clothing purposes.
 The securing of the world by British and American mills for such wools has brought about a condition where the cheaper grades of wool throughout the United States bid fair to be dearer than the finer grades. Already in London they are more valuable than the finer clips, and if the buying of blankets, khaki and oVercoatings by the allies in this country continues at it's present rate, It is only a question of time when the Lon don situation will prevail on this side of the water. In fact, it would not be surprising, in the event ot a prolonged war, to find wool more valuable than silk.
 This development is most strongly illustrated by a con- parison of prices for wool tops at Bradford. England, vis.:

DISASTROUS FIRE
 ATJST. JOHNS
THE A. & B. SCHUSTER STORE BURNED TO
 THE GROUND.
The Postohce, together with Mail,
 Totally Destroyed.

We received word early this morning, over the line of the Navajo-Apache Telephone Sys- tenn, that the mercantile estab- lishment of the A. 6 B. Schus- ter Go. burned to the ground last night. The origin of the fire had not been ascertained at the time of our going to press. We understand very little of the stock was saved.
 The only fire protection Tn St. Johns is the bucket brigade, !" which could hardly be expected to cope with a fire of any dimen- sions.
 The postoffice was located in the same building and was to- tally destroyed. much of the mail being burned.
 The building and stock were. we believe, insured, but for what amount we were unable to ascer- tain, MT. Schuster and Manager Myerhoff. of the Holbrook branch, having departed at an early hour for the scene of the fire.

To- put it briefly. merino tops, representing the finer grades of wool after cleaning and combing, are actually selling about five per cent below the average price of the last five years, whereas the coarse crossbred tops are up from 15 per cent to 35 per cent, the coarser the wool the greater the advance.
 An analysis of the course of wool prices Tn Boston for the past year will reveal the same interesting tendency. For ln- stance, Ohio and Montana fine combing wools, two representa- tive clips of. the finer grade, ad- vanced between Jan.1. 1914, and July l, 1914, about ten cents per secured pound, or a little less than 20 per cent. During the same period, Ohio 3-8 wools, a medium grade. advanced about eight cents per secured pound, or a little less than IS per cent. Ohio IA wool, a coarse grade, advanced in the same period SIX cents per pound. or about l5 per cent.
 At the opening of the year. notwithstanding. the British wool embargo, both the Ohio and Montana fine wools were selling at abont the same price as on July 1. though still 20 per cent above the preceding Janu- ary.
 On the other hand, between July 1. 1914, and Jan. l, 1915,
