OVER IN GOOD OLD
RANKIN COUNTY
JOHNS WITH COUNTY AGRICUL-
TURAL SCHOOL AND VIRGIL
WITH IT'S ADVANTAGES.
(From Clarion-Ledger)

Johns, Miss, Jan. 5,--The Rankin
County Agricultural High School at this
place is doing good work, and has an
enrolment of over 100 students, about
equally divided between girls and boys.
1t is a new school, comparatively, this
being the beginning of the third session.
There are three buildings, embracing
large school structure of two Stories
with class rooms, chapel and music
rooms, a dormitory with forty rooms,
new and up-to-date; modern and well
equipped domestic science building,
while nearby is the consolidated public
school and Methodist church. All the
buildings are painted a pure white and
most attractive do they appear.
Prof r. N. Noble is the first and
only principal, having commenced the
school, and under his administration it
has become a gratifying success, all be-
ing loud in his praise. His assistants are
D. l.. Williams, Miss Eva Jones, f. M.
Allen, Miss Evelyn Hammett, Mrs. Kate
Darksdale.
The property embraces three build
ings with forty acres of land, where
agricultural experiments are conducted
Both boys and girls have the oppor
tunity to work their way through school,
and quite number do so. The board is
on the cooperative plan, and costs each
pupil only 5000 per month, on account
of good management.
All the work is done by the students,
except one negro cook is employed The
property cost 10000, and is more than
worth the money.
The property is supplied with a flow
ing well and arrangements are or foot
to install a waterworks plant so that all
the rooms may be supplied with hot and
cold water.
Prominent speakers are often invited
to address the Students Of the agricu-
raj and consolidated schools, and public
generally, Johns having the largest au-
| ditorium in Rankin county.
Col. R. II Henry spoke for us yester-
day, giving his Ford Peace lecture to
an audience of several hundred, which
showed its appreciation by extending
him unanimous vote of thanks.
Consolidated School.
The consolidated school is made ur Of
the schools of Central, Corley and Johns
1t has fine new building with capacity
| for $50 students. The teachers are III
P. Taylor, Miss Carrie Price and Miss
Pauline Russell. The trustees, Joe
| Chapman, o. O. Donnell and l.. P. Burn
ham.
This is regarded as one Of the most
intelligent sections of the State, and
many families move here to give thei1
children the benefit of the fine educa.
tional facilities.
The Methodist parsonage was recently
moved here from Shiloh, and the new
preacher, Rev. G. HI. Strait, has made
a most favorable impression, and is
much beloved by the three churches thai
he serves, Johns, Pickett and Shiloh.
Johns has four mercantile establish
ments, j. D. Chapman, T. J. Gates, 0. O.
Donnel and Joe Neal, and is quite a
prosperous, thrifty and happy section

The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold
is a habit, but fortunately one
that is easily broken. Take a
cold sponge bath every morning
when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but tempature of
about 80 degrees F. Also sleep
with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy and get rid of it
as quickly as possible. Obtainable

BAKERIES WILL
 ADVANCE PRICE
 OF ALL PRODUCT
Bread Will Hereafter Be Ten Cents a Loaf and
 Pastry to Advance Accordingly.
'S2. 20 WHEAT SETS PRICE
Local Baker Prepares Set of Figures Showing Why Advance Is
 Necessary.

The price of bread, cakes and pas try in Juneau is to be raised, be coming effective tomorrow, and af ter today Juneau people will pa, ten cents straight for lOaves O bread Formerly the price has beer three loaves for twenty-five cents Cakes, pies, doughnuts and othel pastry will advance approximately Now that the Government has | fixed the price of all wheat at $2.2( per bushel the Juneau bakers car figure accurately on the price O their flour and on the cost of bread Heretofore they have been working on flour stocks which were purchas ed for about $500 per barrel at the beginning of the war but these stocks of flour are now exhausted and it is necessary for the Juneau bakers to lay in new stocks at the new prices.
 Gus Messerschmidt of the Sar Francisco Bakery and Theodore Hey der of the Peerless Bakery, this morning gave The Empire a set oi figures on the actual cost of produc ing bread, figuring the flour on the basis of $220 per bushel for wheat
 President Wilson's price makes flour about $l1 per barrel" said Gus Messerschmidt and it is true that this is reduction from the prices that of late have ranged from $1550 to ST. But it is especially true that Juneaus present bread pdices are not based on flour at this maximum rate, nor even as much as President Wilson's price, but or flour which the bakers here stocked up on when it was from $9 to SIG per barrel.
 ''If Juneau bakers had to buy floul today at President Wilson's place they would pay more, instead of less for their flour" he continued.
 At the present time the cost o bread made from one barrel of floul in Juneau actually costs $19.20, no counting any charges for labor, mar
 
 building, stationery or other charges for carrying on the business.
 Wheat for one barrel of flour a the new price will cost $11; milling charges will be $1, railroad freigh to the coast $40; warehouse ant commission charges, $1.40; freight tt Juneau, $1; yeast, $1.40; shortening $1; fuel, 50 cents; sugar 50 cents making total cost of $19.2O. One barrel of flour will make between 200 and 240 loaves, which retailet at charge of ten cents, will near between $20 and SPA for each bar rel of flour, leaving a very smal margin of profit for the bakery after the other charges against the up keep of the plant are paid"

NOTICE

After today the price of all bread in Juneau will be 10 cents loaf straight. This raise is made nec- essary through the fixing of the price of wheat by the Government, and the fact that stocks of nour purchased before the start of the war have become exhausted. Ju- neau people have been getting the cheapest bread on the coast for the past year and the bakeries now find it impossible to sell at the old price.
