Planning to Meet Demand.

The task before the Commissioners
and local service corporations is to
estimate the increase and begin now
to formulate plans to meet the demand
for additional service. With respect to
providing additional school buildings
and street improvements that would be
called for by an enlarged population,
the Commissioners, it is believed, will
be impressed by the Importance Of
starting now to make estimates. Work
on the next budget will start in Sep
TENDER and it will be next July be-
fore any appropriations that Congress
may authorize will become available
By that time, it is pointed out, the
capitals population may have recorded
a considerable growth. The Commits
sioners realize this and the effort to
anticipate and provide for it will be
one Of the most difficult tasks that will
confront them in framing the budget.

when he saw that she was struggling
to free herself and couldn't; that she
was entangled in some way behind the

Smith was RAINING fairly abreast Of

had shrunk to fifty. In Imagination
he could already see the gray car over

Of the train. In q flying squirt he
gained a few yards On the advancing
menace and hurled himself against
the front of the stopped roadster. He
did not attempt to crank the motor.
There was time only for q mighty
heave and shove to send the car back

approach; for this and for the cuicIz
spring aside to save himself, a he

'Of course, there's nothing cOmpuI-

such a staving good head for figures
and finances that it seems a pity for
you to be wasting it here on an under
graduates job in ccst-cutting. Any
young fellow just out of a technical
school could do what you're doing in
the way of pairing down expenses"
The cost-cutter's smile was mildly
incredulous.
Nobody seemed to be doing it be-
fore I came" he offered.
"No." Williams allowed, that's the
fact. To tell the plain truth. we've had
bigger things to wrestIe with; and We
have them yet, for that enough
of them to go all around the job twice
and tie in a bOwknot."
"Finances?" queried Smith, feeling
some of the back-number instincts stir

looked up with a twinkle in his closely
set gray eyes. eff you'll tell me why

The Biggest Ever

What has been pronounced the
grandest affair ever undertaken
between the academies of St.
Johns and Snowflake was pulled
off here last Friday and Saturday
The program started by the en-
tertainment of the St. Johns
academy teachers by the faculty
of the Snowflake academy. A
feature of the first part of the
program was a "coon recitation, :"
a coon" telling what he thought
of St. Johns. Other features of
the first days program were we'll
rendered and received. During
their stay here the st. Johns
people visited Taylor and other
points Of interest in the vicinity
of Snowflake.
The st. Johns band deserves
special praise-it is a real sure
enough band. A line or march
went thru the business section
of town and a finer line up of
finer people were never seen any
where else on earth, if you please.
And, right here we are going to
interllne the fact that our Snow
flake boys fell heels over head in
love with the St. Johns girls, and
the st. Johns boys were 10th to
leave because they couldn't take
home with them our Snowflake
girls. Could anything have been
more to the credit to the good
judgement of the two schools?
Volley ball, basket ball, wrestl-
ing matches, etc., were enjoyed
to hearts content.
The contest activities broke
about even with honors to both
schools, and here again is evil
dence of the fine exhibition of
talent employed in teaching the
various branches of learning in
both academies.
The affair found it's happy
finale Saturday night by get
acquainted dance, reception and
refreshments.
Before leaving for their homes
the st. Johns contigent voted to
come back to Snowflake first op-
portunity, and the Snowflake
people voted them perpetual
standing invitation.
