added any new colleges since then.
Twenty eight colleges have doubled
their attendance in the past six years.
High wages. big profits and general
prosperity enjoyed during war times
together with a new attitude toward
higher education has swamped the
colleges and universities with bust

State schools will see to it that
their needs are explained to their

will put on drives for more funds and
they will be forced to Increase
charges for tuition. In these times

Down In "Or virsiny" there's an
interesting fight going on In one of
the congressional districts where
something like s37,oo000o worth of
peanuts are produced annually. The
democrats of the district, especially
the ones interested In the culture of
peanuts, do not like the way the
present tariff law treats their prod
yet. The democratic candidate for
congress promises that he will do
all he possibly can to have the Law
amended In "a way that will give
ample protection TO the peanut In
dustry and the republican candidate
promises the same thing However.
the democratic candidate and the
democrati party In that district
do not believe in tariff protection for
anything produced outside the dis
trict, yet the democratic candidate is
proceeding upon the theory that he
can get congress and the next pres-
dent to take care of peanuts" ever
tho nothing else is taken care of, The
republican candidate is for the prin-
ciple of protection and will favor
