SHOWS INCREASE
Reports to Commits
sioner of Education to
Show Cost

First reports of tuition costs In
various high schools in the state
were received Saturday by DR.. =. A
Bryan, state commissioner of educa.
tion.
Under the provisions Of an act OF
the 1921 session of the legislature
each high school in the state may
charge tuition to pupils who attend
from outside the district In which the
school is located. But before this
charge can be made each school must
furnish the state board of education
a sworn statement of the actual costs
OF instruction and operation for the
school year prorated according to the
number of pupils belonging to the
school. f t .Ea -
Reports SO far received have been
from the smaller schools; schools
that have an average number belong
ing Of from 20 to SO and two or three
high school teachers. The tuition in
these schools is high and Is much in
excess of the average for the state,
according to Doctor Bryan.
AADITuCAOM SOSJS Yl10.OU
For Cambridge, which has three
teachers and>an average number of
so pupils belonging, the tuition will
be $118.50 per year Of nine months
Of more than $13 per month. In
struction in this school for the year
costs $4646.50 and operation
$1279.25.
For Dubois high school the rate
per pupil ia much higher. The total
Of operating and instruction expense
is $4835.38.a and as the average num-
ber belonging is thirty, the yearly
cost per pupil will be $161.1S or
$3.50 per month.
Bliss high school even goes above
the other two. instruction and oper-
ating expense totals $4357.21 with
two high school teachers employed.
The average number belonging, how
ever, is twenty, so that the cost per
pupil per school year is $217.86 or
$24,20 per month.
None of the larger schools have
been heard from, but it is the opinion
OF the state commissioner that re-
ports from these institutions will re-
duce the average for the state to
somewhere between $50 and 800
per year., Idaho Statesman.

PAPER PRICES
BEING ADJUSTED
Packages Wrapped ir
Colored Cartons
Boost Price

The paper makers are on strike
The manufacturers were able tC
make SO much profit last year that
they have found 1t necessary to Gu!
the wages of their employees 80 per
cent and increase working hours to
fifty.
There was few weeks ago a rea!
danger that paper might reach ma
tional price, owing to the business
deLr ession, and consequent slack de-
mand. The strike will help to pre-
vent what might have been serious
loss of profit to the manufacturers.
There is nothing complex about
this paper situation, that is being
brought to the attention of the
reader by the harassed newspapers
You can see the reason for it, in 10
minutes observation of the shoppers,
in any town or city. There goes a
woman with market basket. She
has seven packages. Only one of
them is not elaborately wrapped with
n handsome paper carton and label.
That one is head of lettuce, and it
is wrapped in manila paper. Even
that can Of sardines is encased in a
colored paper box.
Every hour Of the day in this town
sees enough paper foolishly wasted
in this way to print this newspapers
edition.
The paper is carried home, torn
from the package and thrown away.
1t has cost the shopper from 10 to
200 per cent to buy her food in it's
expensive wrapper. She has helped
the big packers and manufacturers to
control food prices, too.
The consumption of paper in car
tons and needless wasteful wrappers
is three times that of the consump-
tion by newspapers in this country.
A destruction of this manipulation
of the paper market and the distri-
button Of food would mean more to
the consumer than IS per cent re-
duction in freight rates, just by way
Of making you realize that you are
concerned in the paper situation.

IDAHO WHEAT CROP
TO SHOW. INCREASE
Sales of Recent Weeks
\ Larger Than Previous
Six Months

The Idaho wheat crop for 1921
shows the best promise of any croI
for upwards OF five years, B. F. Shee.
han, state seed commissioner, de.
clared in Salt Lake recently. Mr.
Sheehan was in conference with J. L.
Peppard of the Peppard Seed COM
pany Of Kansas City, relative to the
possibility of Idaho growers OF alf-
alta seed joining the pool movement
of the Utah growers.
Mr.. Sheehan said that the wheat
acreage in Idaho will probably show
an increase of about 10 per cent;
that the potato acreage will be
greater than that Of 1920 by from
Is to 20 per cent; that the sugar
beet acreage will probably be about
the same as 1920 and that hay and
forage will probably show a decrease.
4 The Idaho seed commissioner also
stated that the recent bulge In the
price Of wheat has stimulated sales
remarkably, with the result that
more wheat has been sold in Idaho
in recent weeks than in the previous
oAA AAOAtAos s1x1OoI VI tul0b u0 ohlU,
has gone to Portland, Ore, buyers.
This movement Of wheat has had
decidedly stimulating effect on busi-
ness, Mr.:Sheehan said, and has made
the situation encouraging.
The discussions of Mr.. Sheehan
and Mr.. Peppard had not advanced
beyond the informal state. Mr.. Pep
pard, it will be remembered, pur-
chased for his firm the combined laf-
alta seed belongings of the alfalfa
seed pool engineered by the Utah
State Farm Bureau. Speaking Of the
conference Mr.. Peppard said that the
Utah seed growers might learn much
from their Idaho neighbors regard
ing methods of producing good seed
and that, in turn, the seed growers
Of Idaho can learn from the market
ing methods Of the Utahps.-Salt

The ]. C. Rockwell "Sunny South
COMPANY.

There are few more popular the
atrical attractions on the road than
j. c. Rockwell's "Sunny South" COM
pany, the big colored show, accom-
panied by an excellent solo. concert
band and a symphony orchestra, and
which is announced to appear in the
Opera House, Barton, Friday even
ing, September 30th. The Sunny
South" although billed under its old
title, is nevertheless, a brand new
performance from the rise to the final
fall of the curtain. This season Mr.,
Rockwell claims to have the newest,
freshest, most artistic and thorough
ly equipped colored attraction ever
sent on tour. He backs his claim and
arrests public attention by presenting
a performance which has more origi-
nal ideas and up-to-the- minute fea-
lures than any similar organization
As on it's former visits, it will be
found to be clean to a fault and dur
ing the entire performance there is
not line, an action nor an insinua-
tion to which exception can be taken.
The fun, which will be handed over
the footlights, is all new and needs no
arrow to point the way to the laughs.
It is bristling with new, novel and en-
Pertaining features and it is brimful
of laughable situations, charming
musical numbers and clever vaude-
vile stunts, of the better class, which
will make the audience sit up and
take notice. 1t is musical perform
ance, welded to the most tuneful mu-
sic one would care to listen to, full of
ginger and life, with not dull mo-
ment from start to finish. The dane
inc is all done with vim and dash,
Jokes fly fast and furious and the en-
tire production is Kaleidoscope mass
of color and music, sparkling with
nonsense. The "Koontown Parade
takes place at noon. Main street only
The Aorices of admission have been
placed at 55. and 85 cents including
war tax. Secure seats now and avoid
standing. They are selling at Pierce's
pharmacy.
