School Board Meets TomorOl0

OchOOL BOdTd MeetS On1OTTOLD The trustees of the Holhrook school district will meet tomor- row and canvass the votes cast at the bondselection slast Satur- day. The record will then be certified to the board of supervi- sors who, will advertise the sale of the bonds. It will then be necessary for the school board to secure a site for the new build ing, have plans and speciica- tions prepared and let the con tract for the building.
 Outside of the choice of a site for the building the trustees have easy sailing; they simply need to follow the statutes made and provided in such cases. But in the matter of selecting a site there is necessity for deep thought and careful considera- tion.
 The site of the old building IS favored by some people because of its accessibility to the resi- dence section of the town. These people favor this location also because considerable money could be saved by incorporating the old building in the new. Should this plan be followed ground for an athletic field could be secured at the edge of town and the aggregate expenditure would be less than if a new site were purchased.
 There are many opponents to this plan, however. These op- ponents argue that an entire block should be secured farther away from the center of town; that such a site can be secured at a reasonable cost, and that the old building and grounds can be sold for a good price.
 The editor of the News will refrain from expressing a.pref- 'erence. We believe that the school trustees are eminentlY qualified to make a selection. They are men of good judgment, are vitalIy interested in the sue cess of the schools and. more over, they are men who will lay aside all questions of individual preference and act in accordance with what they believe will be for the best interests of the whole community.

COUNTY AND TOWN NEWS Some of The Events That Have Transpired in
 This Vicinity
 Recently
Treat LOcaL Merchanls FairIy

A condition of affairs exists in Holbrook which is not conducive to the best interests of the town. This is the inclination some of the people have to send out of town for commodities carried in stock by the local merchants. This is exceedingly bad policy. It injures your neighbors and friends, the local merchants, by depriying them of the business that rightfully belongs to them; it injures your credit with these local merchants. and in 99 out of 100 cases it injures the person who orders the goods from the outoftown merchant in a direct manner-he pays more for the goods than he would have been asked to pay by the local merchant.
 Take for instance the case brought to our notice recently. A resident of Holbrook, himself in business and depending upon other business men for his live lihood, ordered $50 worth of goods from an eastern concern. He paid cash Tn advance for the goods, waited month for them, paid freight and dlayage charges and when he unpacked the ship ment found that he had received but few of the kind of goods he had ordered; inferior quality had been substituted, He learned further that for the same quality of goods his local merchants would have charged him 25 per cent less; moreover it would not have been necessary for him to buy $50 worth of the goods at once; on the other hand the local merchant would have extended him credit for 30 or 60 days had he asked it.
 This man not only suffered d direct pecuniary loss, but he stood A good chance to lose the friendship and future trade of the merchants he had treated so unfairly.
 Ali that the local business men ask is an even break square deal; it is only fair that the per son in need of merchandise whether it be groceries. dry goods. hardware, furniture. or a job of printing should give the local dealer in those commodities chance to figure on the order. In practically every case the local dealer will undersell the foreign dealer, when quality of goods and kind of workmanship is considered.
 Burn your mail order calalegs. and politely inform the next soli- citor who seeks an order for a forign house that you intend to stand loyal to your home town. and that henceforth you will treat the local merchants fairly treat them as you wish to be treated by them.

EMERGENCY MONEY RETURNS.
Less Than 10 Per Cent of War Issue
Remains Outstanding.

There is less than 10 per cent. or
exactly s5S.O96,35s, still outstanding of
the total amount of emergency cur
rency issued since the outbreak of the
European war. This information is
contained in a statement issued by As
sistant Secretary Malburn of the Treas
ury Department., in charge of finances.
The amount outstanding is less than
40 cents per capita and only a little
more than ! per cent of the total
amount OF money in circulation in the
United States. 1t is pointed out by Mr..
Nalburn that the fears entertained that
the large issue of emergency currency
put into circulation after August l last
year would unduly initiate the circula-
tion and would not be promptly retired
may now be dismissed from mind.
without doubt" he concludes, the
issuance of this currency enabled the
country to pass through the troublous
times succeeding the outbreak of the
European war last summer with much
less strain than has attended financial
disturbances of less severity in the
past, and it is shown how advantage
ously the federal reserve notes may be
