MEAT STRIKE WILL NOT MAKE CHANCE
 IN LOCAL PRICES
South PIentifuIIy Supplied, Much In Storage, Local Deal CTS Are Not at All Worried.
 Price Raise Not Likely

Tn case the western packing houses sustain a strike and por- tions of the country will want for their usual meat supplies, BIrming- ham will not be affected, only for . possible slight increase in price later in the summer md n little change in the taste of the meat.
 Instead of eating western meats, said w. K. Ives of the local Swift & Co. plant, we will eat our own Alabama grown meat. The taste will be little different, bur we can soon become accustomed to thnt. We have our Andalusfa packing house to draw from in this state. as well as various other sources in the south.
 In case of n tfe-up fin the H. Iinois md Kansas packing centers, BirminSham's western supply will last about two weeks, and then people here will have to rely wholly on southern meat. said E. l.. Sandel of Armour Packing c0na- pany.
 E. G. Bruen of the Birmingham Packing company was very opti- mistic, he said the south could easily supply itself with meat and that most of the meat he sells wns raised in the south.
 Out of the number of packing men in the city not one was wor- rying over the situation of the possible western packing strike. What hnve we to fear with the whole south to draw front wns n common question of each local man. Birmingham can rest assured that in case of the packers strike the shock will hardly reach this far south,

LOST COYOTE CAUGHT

After a week of freedom young coyote, which escaped from the Avondalo zoo last Friday, is now in his place look ing out from behind the bars.
 The coyote escaped from the park grounds with three others when the wire was broke off the front of their cage. Three of the coyotes came back and went to sleep in the cage when night came. but the fourth strayed.
 The coyote was discovered late Friday night in the back yard of D. c. McDaniels at Irondale. He ran it in pig pen and notified J. P. Williamson, the park su- perintendent, who removed 1t to the zoo yesterday morning.

SHOWERS, MAYBE

Continued warm weather with sun thine and an occasional shower is the forecast by E. O. Horton, local weather observer, for today,
 March showers are the worst thing that forecaster has to put up with. says MT. Horton. and no matter how pretty the weather may be. it is liable to he raining the next hour. The con- tinued warm weather also accounts partly for the many showers. The hottest period reached yesterday was about o'clock in the afternoon when the mercury registered sS degrees in the shade.

the efficient coaching of Mrs. d. A.
Mccall, former Ole Miss star, the
girls are taking great deal of interest
in basketball and the prospect is good
for winning team.
Pupil Activities.
There is organized in the Oxford
School,, one Literary Society for boys,
one "Hi-Y" club for boys, and two
"Hi-Y" clubs for girls. Each of these
organizations meet weekly and in each
an active pupil-interest is manifes-
ted.
Community Cooperation.
No improvement in school conditions
is possible until strong public opin-
ion approves and demands it. Educa-
ton is not job for the teacher work.
ing alone but is job that can not be
accomplished without the closest CO.
operation with every live force in the
community. 1t was to meet need
along this line that last spring Par
nt-Teachers' Association was organ
lied in the Oxford school. This Assoc
citation, under the splendid and able
leadership of the President, Mrs. B..
S. Guyton, has already accomplished
much for the children of the city. The
untiring activities of this association
account for the fact that the children
of Oxford now have at the public
school an equipped playground, the
peer of any in the state. Through its
efforts, the school library is being inn
proved. Among other additions to the
library, is a reading table on which is
to be found fourteen of the standard
magazines. These are some of the
material improvements that have been
made through this form of community
cooperation; but better than all, the
Parent Teachers Association, through
its large membership, is creating a
very wholesome school spirit in Oxford
and is linking up every live force in the
community with the interest of the
school. With an active and efficient
school board, and with a public opin-
ion in sympathy with the aims and
functions of the school. the school is
meeting the needs of the community
in large way The present aroused
public opinion will very soon demand
new high school building in which
Oxford is in such dire need.

thorough and effective instruction.
Certainly the test of any school sys-
tenn is the type of graduates it sends
out Probably no other school in the
state sends out its graduates better
fitted to take their proper place in So
ciety and certainly no school in the
state sends a higher per cent of its
graduates to college. Of the nine
teen graduates of the Oxford school
last year, sixteen or "a per cent are
in college.
Faculty.
The faculty of the Oxford School
is recognized as one of the strongest
in the whole state A high per cent
are graduates of standard colleges,
and all are teachers of experience with
professional training, and with an
earnestness and zeal which make for
efficiency. The list of faculty mem
bers follow:
P. L. Rainwater, Civics and Ameri-
can History; Miss Ella Wright, Hail.;
Miss Pearl Hickey, Science; Miss
Nancy Farley, English; Miss Stacy
Fur, Latin and Ancient History; Miss
Clyde Lindsey, Mathematics; Miss
Gladys Short, Spanish; Miss Sallie
Bell Duncan, Arithmetic and Algebra
in Junior high school; Miss Kate
Kimmons, English and Reading in
Junior high school; Miss Sara Graves,

Miss Katherine Drane, sixth grade;
Mrs. B. F. Simpson, fifth grade; Miss
B. Orr, fourth grade; Miss Martha
Smith, third grade; Miss, Anna
Wright, second grade; Miss Mildred
Hannah, first grade.
Course of Study.
The Oxford Grammar school fol-
lows the course prescribed by the
state. In the Junior high school the
pupil is allowed to take some cleo
tive work to meet his special aptitudes
and needs. The high school offers
two courses of study, the Classical
and the Scientific. The essential diff
fernece between the courses is that the
Classical course requires three units
in Latin and three units in History;
whereas the Scientific course requires
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1921-10-27

By Free Electives is meant: Music,
one unit; Spanish, two units, Solid
Geometry one-half unit; Advanced Al
zebra ,one-half unit; Physics, one
unit; Chemistry, one unit; Biology, one
unit.
The course of study is arranged, and
the entire organization of the school
set, to meet the requirements of the
Committee on Affiliation with the Col
leges and Secondary Schools of the
South. Application for utilization has
accordingly been made and we are
hopeful that the committee will place
the Oxford School on the affiliated
list. Should this be the case, our
graduates would be permitted to en-
ter any College or University in the
South without standing entrance ex-
aminations. This is a distinction that
the Oxford School aspires to and es-
pecially so, since eighteen schools of
the state are already on the affiliated
list.
Play Life.
No school system can be efficient
without well organized play life for
the children. 1t was to meet this
need that the citizens of Oxford at the
suggestion of the Parent-Teachers'
Association came to mass meeting
and there subscribed approximately
$500 for the purchasing of play
ground equipment which is now in
stalled on the school ground. To see
the children use this equipment is a
joy. It's use makes the problem of
discipline on the playground easy, it
develops the child physically and
makes school life more attractive.
Basket ball football, and baseball,
standard games in most schools, are
played with interest and successes. More

school and the church.
It it is now trite saying that our
material progress as a people is far in
advance of our spiritual and moral de-
velopment. It follows then that the
real problem of the home, the school,
and the church, is how these agencies
may so influence the individual that
he may keep pace in his moral and
spiritual life with the material pro-
gress of the race. Happily we are not
without an example of the fullest CO.
operation of these agencies for the
education of the whole child.
In primitive Puritan days the whole
boy did 60 to comprehensive school
controlled in every department by the
entire community. His mental train
ing, by modern standards, was pitifully
narrow; but his teachers were literally
God-fearing men, and the minister,
the lawyer, and the squire had per-
sonal knowledge of every boys adj
vancement. His physical training was
rude and laborious; but it was mainly
out Of doors and was personally look
led after by the father or the master,
both having q direct interest in max
ing that part Of his training thorough
and effective. His moral training was

tenth of his time in the schoolroom
But during the remaining nine tenths,
he is nevertheless at school, his teach
er being the household, his street
companions, and all of his experiences
which, summed up, we call his environ
ment. And it cannot be too often re-
peated that, for that nine tenths, the
home is directly and entirely respon-
sible.
In this connection / am constrained
to speak Of the complete failure Of the
induIgent American father and moth
er to provide definite responsibility
and definite things for the child to do
when he is out Of school. He should
be trained to do some work every day,
The word child-labor goes to every
body's heart and everyone seeking to
prevent employment under fifteen OF
sixteen is always backed by strong
public sentiment. Child labor is bad
and should be universally condemned
but bad as it is, there is something
infinitely worse: child idleness.
| Every child we all agree should be
kept active, should have definite dut-
lies and should work physically and

RADIO BUSINESS
GROWS DAILY
Development of Wireless Tele-
graph and Telephone Creates
New Mercantile Field.

Only few years the purchaser Of sup
plies for radio equipment was forced
TO shop rom place to place and from
store to store and it was with difficulty
that he found what he was looking for.
In addition the technical character Of
the supplies made it difficult for clerks
inexperienced in the kind of equipment
to deal intelligently with the trade.
But now Indianapolis has a store de-
voted wholly and solely to radio sup
plies and equipment, both for radio tele-
graph and the newer but popular radio
telephone. This store, which is operated
by the Hoosier Radio Company, los Penn
broke Arcade, in charge of L. II. Smith,
president and manager Of the company.
According to Mr. Smith, the store
draws its patronage from a constantly
increasing number Of patrons, which in
cludes not only the fiocks Of youngsters
interested in the work, but surprisingly
large number of persons Of mature years.
There has been a great fauacy in the
ideas Of the public at large as to the
supposed expensiveness of radio out
fits and the amount Of technical educa-
ton necessary to operate them" Mr.
Smith said. ''AIost persons have be-
lieYed that in order to operate radio out
fits the expenditure of a large sum of
money and long course of hard study
were necessary. AS a matter of fact $15
will pay for O receiving set with a range
Of from 400 to 500 miles, under favorable
conditions, and only a small amount of
study is necessary to enable the owner
TO operate it.
AT present believe that there are not
less than one thousand youngsters and
older persons interested in radio work
in indianapolis and this number is stead
lily on the increase
THE newest and most novel radia ap-
paratus is the wireless telephone, a form
OF wireless that is jumping into great
popularity. Unlimited enjoyment can be
had from the wireless telephone. For
example the Commonwealth Edison Com
pany every night sends out concerts by
the Chicago grand opera company which
are heard in Indianapolis by wireless and
all over this section Of the country The
Westinghouse company sends out daily
concerts from Pittsburgh at the same time
and the owner of a wireless telephone
outfit can make his choice of which con-
cert he prefers, as they are sent out in
different wave lengths, and the owner Of
the wireless merely adapts his instrument
to the wave length of the concert he
wishes to hear.
"Our company does a big business with
amateurs and we are equipped to supply
apparatus OF all kinds for amateur oper-

LUMBER DEMAND
REMAINS STEADY
Home Building Indicates Rec
ord Year in 1922.

Despite the fact that the colder months
of the year are looming close at hand
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-12-05

there has been a remarkable steadiness
in the demand for lumber for home
building purposes, according to Forest
A. Hill, president Of the Speedway Lum-
Der Company.
$50 great has been the demand for
new homes during the last summer and
fall and SO bright are the prospects for
q record breaking building season next
year that believe persons who are plan
ming to build homes should begin to
place their orders for mill work now
If they do not they are likely to find
that mill work factories are loaded to
capacity with orders when next spring
opens up. There has been an excellent
demand for mill work such as sash and
doors and cabinet work. Stocks of doors
are getting low and there may be a de-
cided shortage later on.
''The trend modern building is taking
is very interesting. For instance, very
few small single cottages and small
double houses have been constructed. I
attribute this to the present financial con-
ditions, which makes investment in rem
tai property less attractive to investors
than formerly. The present tax rates
and tax systems place heavy burden on
rental property. Then, too, the prac-
tice Of issuing tax exempt securities has
had the efftc of slowing up construction
of homes for rental purposes.
"This shortage of good rental property
has had the natural effect of causing
many persons who nave rented in the
past to turn to the proposition of build
ing and owning their own homes as
the only satisfactory solution of the
problem Because Of this think an IN
paralleled period of home building is
about to begin"

USE OF SANITARY
WIPERS GROWING
Necessity of Cleanliness Real
lied by Business Men

More and more It is becoming apparent
to intelligent and progressive business
men that far more than mere sentimental
and humanitarian interest attaches to
ideas Of cleanliness in the conduct OF
business. Formerly it was thought that
while cleanliness was desirable from a
general standpoint IN business, that 1t
was a secondary matter entirely and one
that could be neglected with no great in
jury 10 anything or anybody.
However, all this has changed in the
past few years. II is now recognized
that cleanliness and sanitation In a plant
greatly increase the efficiency of the work
ing force by providing for the health Of
the employees.
Not so many years ago the idea OF
sanitary wiper was regarded as a mere
t-ide, a sort Of industrial affection, by
many business men, according to Louis
n. Grossman, president OF the Sanitary
washed wiper Company.
