Be patient with the candidate.
He thinks he is winning your
vote by his warm handshake
and polite, friendly manner.
You needn't tell him he isn't.
Let him alone, and listen TO him.
Don't tell him you are sure he
will not come within a mile of
the winner, and then on the
other hand, don't swear to him
you will vote for him and work
your head off for him, and then
60 right along and tell the next
one the same tale. Keep him

NOT ENOUGH ROOM

The crowded condition of the
school auditorium here each
night of the commencement ex :.
ercises has doubtless impressed
anew upon the minds of many
the urgent need for more room.
The auditorium is is not more
than half large enough. Add
tional class rooms have become
necessity also. Three hundred
and thirty pupils have been en-
rolled in the six class rooms dur
ing the session which has just
closed, and more than one hun.
dred of these were in one room.
If the school continues to N
crease in numbers as it has dur
ing the two last sessions the four
hundred mark will soon be
reached. Then where will the
children be housed?
We believe the people would
approve pan 10 build an annex
to the old building or a separate
building for the high school de-
partment if the need were i'm
pressed upon them. We believe
that if the present auditorium
could be made into two class
rooms, and the stage converted
into music room, an annex
should be erected with a large
stfloor auditorium and per
haps a class room or two. A
ground floor auditorium has GER
tain advantages, and maybe dis
advantages also, over the up
stairs one.
1t is TO be hoped that the need
outlined above may be impress
ed upon the minds of patrons
md tax PAYERS TO such an ex-
'ent that there may be general
discussion of the needs and the
prospects of remedy at no dis
tant date.

Reports from certain sections
of the country are to the effect
that "speculators" are trying to
contract for cotton and seed to
be delivered next fall at II cents
a pound for the coton and 60
cents a bushel for seed. This
appears to be a good price, and
many farmers will jump at the
chance, while others will take
the sensible view and let such
propositions pass.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK FROM vARI-
Gus sTANDPOlNTs.

The views of various bankers and other
financial authorities pointing to pro-
longed prosperity have already been
printed in these columns. 1t Is worth
while to see to what extent the spirit
or optimism ie reflected In other direc-
tons. Secretary Of Labor w. u. Wilson,
n member Of President Wilson'S cabinet
says that in 1916 and for several years
trial prosperity in all lines this country
ms had in score OF years. He believes
the activity present during the past few
months should continue after the close
OF the war abroad. Indeed. no says, the
United States should experience good
times for many years after the end OF
hostilities. Such has been the result OF
other wars. Secretary Wilson sees
SIGNS OF trouble between capital and
industrial wars in the United states to
interfere with our prosperity.
Uncle Joe Cannon. who is back in his
old place In Congress but not in the
speakers chair. is unable to disassociate
the business situation from politics. He
says the party in power has made three
distinct attempts to secure enough reve-
nuc to run the government and pay the
bills and has failed. He believes we

PROFIT IN SHELL MAKING.

which is at the rate of N6.nonoh per year,
II capacity orders are maintained. Sci
entitc management experts have demon
strated that average shells can he made
at IL complete cost OF $40 each which
leaves a profit of s.. 20 per shell to any
factory, achieving maximum efficiency -
price obtained is $50 on 15ns shells
