iocaI managers have sent to all the
schools in the district preliminary
announcements which give the gen.
eral features of the program. A let
tor to Superintendent WEIGH. from
NJ p. D, Bradley Of Muscatine.
chairman of the executive committee,
announces that the complete program
vill be ready for the printers In a
few days.
The program promises to be q
strong one, as the executive commit
tee has put much time and thought
into building It, Some Of the best
talent along educational lines in the
limited States has been secured and
our local people who desire will have
opportunity to hear some good things
during the convention. Those who
desire to attend the general meetings
OF the convention or the round tables
can do SO, either by regular enroll
ment at the convention by payment
Of fee Of soc which will admit to
any or all programs: or they can at
tend by the payment of Csc for each
meeting attended. It can readily be
seen that it would be impossible to
admit local citizens to the programs
free OF charge, as the rooms to be
used would be crowded and the regu-
bar delegates to the convention might
thus be crowded out. The full an
ncuncement Of the program will be
given through the columns of the
local press and the programs during
HE convention will be announced
zach day in advance.

There Is a vast difference between
paving 60 cents bushel for pota-
toes. or 80 cents a pound for butter
in Alberta and slipping the grocer 50
for POTATOES and so cents for butter
here.
What can be the reason, consumers
are asking, for the remarkable in
crease of prices? Canada is at war,
and these prices are considered high,
vet they bear no comparison to the
situation this country finds itself in
regarding the cost of staples.
A glance at the local market page
assures us that wheat continues to
hover around the 81 mark. That
single quotation is representative OF
the comparisons to be found else
