It is prohlematical whether the high
school will have a Junior Reserve
Officers Training Camp unit this fall,
said Principal Bate Wednesday.
There vas no appropriation made
for maintenance of more Junior R. O.

ceived by the local school authorities,
therefore new units are not being es-
tablished.
However. said Bate. if the boys
want it, they can get all the equipmen
necessary, except uniforms, which
they will have to purchase.
School officials have already put
the question up to the boys and if
enough interest is manifested, the

Clothing Prices Are
Coming Down, They Say

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Delegates to
the convention of the National Asso-
citation of Retail Clothiers here today
predicted a reduction in the price of
clothing in the near future.
It's got to come said Fred Levy
of Louisville. Lower prices are on
the way and We fellows will sing the
loudest when the change comes. Men
can't be induced to part with SIS or
$50 for a business suit. The principal
reason for the present high prices is
the cost of labor.

WASHINGTON. Sept 10. - kid
ron." General Pershing's sorrel war
horse, will be unable to share the
glory OF victory in America with his
famous commander as he did in the
European capitals. An ironclad quar-
antine rule of the Department of Ag-
riculture is the cause.
While his master is being idoliZed
by grateful people in the principal
cities of the nation, "Kidron" will be
forced for five months to play the
ignoble role of patient" in the quar-
antine quarters at Newport News,
where veteranaries will watch to de-
termine if he has catching disease.
The misfortune of "Kidron" Is keen
ly felt by General Pershing and the
public who had looked forward to see
ing the general ride his charger at the
heads OF the parades in his honor. On
parade a generals war mount has
been considered as second only TO the
general himself in Importance.

still at work Wednesday morning pre-
pairing the program for classes, which
is very difficult. because of the many
pupils attending the high school this
year from county institutions.
In the county schools the curriculum
does not conform with that of the city
schools, and as a result, some diff
Guilty is being experienced in getting
the new students classified.
The classes are becoming so
crowded that a fourth class has been
organized in the botany department,
where three classes before were suf-
ficient.
The regular periods were held We'd

STATE ROAD BODY
TO BE REORGANIZED
Kramer Calls Meeting in Jack
son "GOOd Roads Day"
At Fair.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 12.-X. A.
Kramer, state highway engineer, has
issued call for meeting of the
State Highway Association at Rep
resentatives Hail. Thursday, October
23-the officials of the State Fair
having designated that as Good
Roads Day." This is for reorganiz
ing the State Highway Association.
1t has been in existence several years
and under the guidance of Dan ].
Morrison, of Jackson it performed a
great service in creating sentiment
for good roads all over the state.
But for the war coming on and Mr..
Morrison being in ill-health the past
year or more, the association has
been idle. In calling for reorgani-
zation, Mr.. Kramer says, in part:
"One of the most important sub
jects to be considered by the new
Legislature will be the laws provid-
ing for a continuation of the i'm
provement of roads in the state. Con-
tinuation of federal aid for road i'm
provement is assured in larger a
mounts than had heretofore, but the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads, in
sists on revision of cetrain of our
laws if we are to receive it's full CO.
operation and an adequate State
Highway Department must be pro-
vided.
In the more progressive states
where substantial improvement has
been made on the roads. Statewide
bonds are being issued for road con-
struction, the money being used to
supplement the federal aid and local
funds.
''The State Highway Department
has prepared bill to be in troduced
in the Legislature providing for
state bond issue of $25,000,O00. This
bond issue is not to be predicated on
an ad valorem tax, but will be based
on the automobile license tax, which
it is proposed to fund into bonds.
The automobile tax is now paid
into the road funds of the several
counties of the state, but no sub
stantial beneht is received.
"Of course, the total amount of
the bonds proposed is not to be is
sued at once, nor to be sold at one
time. Perhaps 1t will be considered
better not to issue bonds, but to ex-
pend annually, on designated
scheme Of roads, the amount of au-
tomobile tax collected, together with
the available federal aid and local
funds. We have also such a plan
to offer.
These and many other important
things should be placed before the
public for discussion and thought"
