the price to the consumer, but that is
not always the place to apply the
remedy" price is only a symptom

Practically every branch of dis

Only thssclass of 1921 was larger
than the one TO be graduated next
week, Daniel j. Jantzen, principal
of the school, announced last night.
The decrease in this years class as
compared with the class of 1921 he
attributed to the influenza epidemic
in 191S-1919, where the class of 1922
entered Il g high school Many were
prevented from taking UP their stud
les that year because of illness, Mr..
Jantzen believes.
Commencement week opens Sun

Principal Jantzen respectfully re-
quests all parents to see that pupils
not obliged to take examinations are
kept from the school grounds while
the examinations are in progress.
Their presence on the campus, he
said, detracts from the attention of
the student taking the examination
and may even result in the failure of
some student unable to apply himself.
The complete program for the COM
