HERE'S A MODEL FOR
new SCHOOL HERE:

Frankfort, Ky, A pril 6-What
probably will be the finest home
economics laboratory in the state
will be contained in then new
school building now being erected
at the Reidlands school near Pa
ducah, according to Miss Betsy
Madison, state supervisor of
home economics education, who
has Just returned from Westcr
Kentucky where she went to ar
range summer schools for teach
ers and to inspect home econom-
les education work. Girls in the
school, formed into a "Willing
Workers Club" have pledged
$500 toward the equipment Of the
laboratories and now have $500
loaned out at s per cent interest
md another 500 practically
ieady to loan.
The history of the home eco
nomic department at Reidlands-
The school itself being unique i'll
that its growth has been accom-
Dlished during the last ten years,
from a one room COuntrJ school
O a seven room modern institu-
ton without cents increase in
axcs-is that Of teacher, Mrs.
Ruth Curd, who was willing to
acriiicc almost a years salary
nd time in order to start some

on.
Her work has so increased in
three years. that next year she
will need an assistant. The course
is so popular that first considera-
ton was given it III planning the
new building,
Both cooking and sewing are
aught in the school. One. room
in the new building will be devot-
ed to each. There also will be
! stOrerooms, a pantry, dining
room. and other things connected
with the art Of housekeeping. The
Laboratories" occupy almost an
entire side of the building
"In january. 1920" said Miss
! Madison, in telling of the work OF
the girls club, seventeen girls ii
the high school organized them
selves into d club to promote
home economics in this commune
ity. Soon afterward a campaign
was launched to raise money fol
erecting d new school building
The club pledged $500 to hell

learned that they have $500 draw
ing 6 per cent interest and an
other 500 practically ready to of
fer for a loan. Every dollar ha;
been earned by the club members
This year the membership increa,
ed to 25.'
Club members told Miss Madi-
son. she said, that they earned the
money through box suppers, can
dy sales, neckttie sales, subscrip-
ton campaigns, embroidery and
making over a dress. Recently
each club member pledged to
raise flock Of pure bred chickens
and turn them into the club fund.
A community club has been
formed and will also have a room
in the new building This club is
made up largely Of the mother.
of the girls.
! "All this means just one thing"
said Miss Madison, "a teacher
who had a vision for her com
munity and was willing to sacri-
fee practically years salary and
and work for which she had spe-
cially prepared herself i'll order to
get an opportunity to start some

PRODUCE PRICES
COMP AIRED WITH 1917
Rates Are Almost the Same, With
aLittlc Advantage at This
Time.

Delaware farmers predict unusual ac-
tivity for 1921. Times of prosperity, with
GOOD business and reasonable profit Is
being looked for. That conditions will revert
40 a prc-wrr basis is not entirely expected
and 4 NAV he we'll to say that the present
level is eomwhcre near the line Of of stab
hyat,on. The new level is not merely
on its way and Is not simply thing of the
future, but it is actually here and prices
arr now on the level of the future many
hchevc.
A comparison Of prices for January,
1917, reveals practically little difference
n prices. especially in the produce line.
In January, 1917, eggs were selling at
60 cents the dozen and chicken Mt 80 and
40 cents the pound. These, however,
are the only two items to be found on
q reasonable basis for that time.
During the month of January, 1917,
farmers in the vicinity of Middletown
were fast unloading their grain at the
highest prices known since the Owl
War. AZ that time corn was selling at
81 and wheat at $l.S5 a bushcl. IL was
very common then to see 80 wagons or
trucks lined up.
Four years ago pork chops were sell
ing AZ % and 80 cents the pound, three to
five cents more than at present Fresh
hams were quoted at % cents. During
the month Of January, 1917, potatoes were
OF their highest selling at 2S cents the
quarter peck. Cabbage was selling at
Is cents the pound and lettuce at Is and
% cents the head.
BY comparing these prices of four
years standing, with the prices Of today,
u will he found that prices of commodi-
ties are fast becoming stabilized.
This year farmers Will be enabled, by
the adjustment of the wage scale. 30 reap
and SOW their 1921 crops at less expense
Though the wheat crop was seeded last
fall az great expense. growers will get
portion of the benefit of lower wages on
threshing and cutting. Spring produce, II
j. understood. will show marked declines
under prices of twelve months ago.
The one outstanding feature of the opin-
tons Of the farmers is the fact that q great
majority Of the business men regard the
general business situation as sound with
out any scmblance of panickly charac-
teristics, and large percentage Of men
regard the era of readIustment as practic-
ally AZ an end.
