George Martin made the Fastest time.
Redmond was second and Noble and

changes seem to favor the selection Of
these four as the regular team there is
strong possibility that Partridge,

Relay work is receiving most of the
attention of the track team just at
present but it is considered likely that
the school will be represented in sever

Newman will participate in the shot

CONY HIGH SCHOOL is
FORCED TO CLOSE TODAY
FOR INDEFINITE PERIOD

Supt. H. II. Stewart Of the public
schools Of the city Of Augusta issued q
statement Thursday that the sessions
of Cony high school would be suspend
ed at the close of today's session for
an indefinite time because of the ina
bility of the Board OF Education to Sc
cure fuel for the purpose OF heating
the building. The statement reads as
follows:
Every effort to secure fuel to keep
Cony high school open has failed, and
as result it is necessary that school
sessions be suspended at the close of
'today's session for an indefinite period.
1t is hoped that the closing will be for
only Il few days. but the prospects OF
getting coal are so indefinite that no
statement can be made at this time as
to when it will reopen.
The Board of Education has hoped
that it would not be necessary to close
the high school, for with this building
open arrangements could be made 10
house all the seventh and eighth grades
OF the city at one session in the after
noon after the regular high school ses-
sion.
The evening school sessions will Of
course be also suspended. The heating
system at the building will he discon-
nected and the water turned off.

Way that 1t is possible. The impression
which prevails in some quarters that
while the government has sought to
tx the prices Of fOodstuffs. it has not
not sought to fix other prices which
determine the expenses Of the farmer.
Is mistaken one. AS matter of fact,
the government has actively and sue,
cessfully regulated the prices Of MANY
fundamental materials underlying all
the industries of the country and has
regulated them not only for the pur-
chases of the government but also for
the purchases Of the general public.
and | have every reason to believe that
the Congress will extend the powers
Of the government in this important
and even essential matter, so that the
tendency to profiteering, which is
showing itself in too many quarters.
may be effectively choked. In fixing
the prices Of foodstuffs, the govern
ment tried to keep the interests of the
farmer as much in mind as the inter-
ests of the communities which are to
be served, but it is serving mankind
as we'll as the farmer. and everything
In these times Of war takes on the
rigid aspect of duty.
