OUR SCHOOL FUND

The announcement from Austin
that the apportionment Of the State
school fund for this year would be
reduced from Sl3 TO $40 per capita
because Of reductions in the taxable
valuation of the State and the in
creased number of delinguencles in
the payment Of taxes Is ample notice
10 the various school districts of the
State and they must now set about
10 raise adequate funds for the OPP
GRAFTON of the schools the coming
year.
lt is regrettable. Of course, that
the State apportionment will be cut
down because there is need for every
dollar in the school funds that Is
available. but the condition of the
State Treasury is such that nothing
else was 10 be expected.
The State Treasury cannot be sur
feited with money If the people are
short Of funds and unable to pay
taxes. The only way the situation
can be remedied IS by special ap-
preparations by the Legislature which
will only tend TO aggravate the sit
uation By levying still heavier taxes
upon the people. II the Legislature
desires 10 be OF service in such sit.
uation il should devise means of re-
ducing the cost Of operating the gov
ernment. instead Of trying to i'm
prove things by making greater APP
preparations.
Another result that will probably
follow a reduction Of the State ap
4.
districts will increase their loca
school tax levies in order 70 provide
adequate funds. 10 seems 10 Thu
Tribune that this is the more desir
able way Of meeting the situation

they are intended than is the cas-

WANTED
PRICES OF MILLINERY ARE
BELOW LAST SEASONS PRICES

Mrs. Wallace Barnes, Of the Vogue
Emporium, returned Wednesday OF
last week from St Louis, whore she
purchased a complete stock of millln
cry and accessories for that popular
store.
The new goods began to arrive
shortly after her return home, and
we are glad 10 learn that the most
beautiful creations are offered this
year at greatly reduced prices as
compared with the last seasons
stock. according TO Mrs. Rhea, as
sociate with Mrs. Barnes.
The fact that heretofore the re-
tailers have been compelled 10 ASK
seemingly exorbitant prices foi
goods has not been their fault, as
they. like their customers, are al
the mercy OF the wholesalers. who
are responsible for the price expan'
sions as we have experienced then
for the past few months.
Back 10 normally has been The
cry Of the thinking people every
where. and we are of the opinion
that when the price Of hats for or
binary sport or dress wear is twelve
and a half dollars, with some OF tbs
very beautiful creations as low al
four and half dollars, prices, so far
as millinery is concerned, are about
as far back TO normally as can be
expected under existing conditions
and we are reliably informed thai
those prices will be popular thruout
the coming seasons.
Hats that were as high as twenty
five dollars are included in the twelve
fifty lot, and some Of the most beau
tiful creations | have ever sold ar,
marked at ever lesser figures, II
the way Miss Rhea explained tn,
slump in the price Of millinery.
Miss Rhea was not only speaking
for the Vogue Emporium, but fol
the general millinery business, and
we are not writing this article q
favor that special shop, but TO give
Avalanche readers some facts con
corning price reductions, and insist
that they purchase all their goods ~
Lubbock. The price Of some com
modities are coming down little

great many things that will never
be sold at the same figures as before
the war, and in fact there are great
many articles Of food as well as cloth
ing, that will not change in pric,
for a good many years. and the ole
home town merchant IL not at al
responsible, for the same condition
exists everywhere, and we are glac
to say that Lubbock merchants are
on the square with their home town
and realize that every time they max,
price reductions on necessities they
are forwarding their own interests
