full session at the Dry Greek
school, were unanimously reel

in itself speaks for their popular

This school is in flourishing

wish them much success.

TRUSTEES OF A. HI. S.
APPOINT G. III. SHERRILL

The trustees of Rankin County

the court house at Brandon last
Saturday to appoint head for
that institution for the coming
year. With very little discussion
Prof. Charles ]. st. John. who
has so ably filled that position
for the past several years was
reelected.
However, Mr.. st. John decided
not to accept the position, and inn
mediately rendered his resigna-
ton, which was reluctantly ac-
cepted by the trustees.
After attending to some other
matters the trustees adjourned
to meet again last Wednesday
night. At this meeting it was de-
cided to ask Prof. G.. H. Sheriff.
to fill the position, which he is
so ably fitted for. He was APP
pointed by the trustees.
Prof. st. John has made an en-
viable record for himself at A. H.
S., and his many friends will re-
gret to learn that he will not be
cOnuected with the school this
coming term.

WASHINGTON.-Figures so far

nificant recession in business activity
during the month of August, in spite
OF the disloca:ion caused by the coal
and railroad labor difficulty. There
was a marked decline in the produc-
ton of iron and steel, largely due, no
doubt, to fuel shortage. The untitled
orders Of the steel corporation con-
tinued to increase indicating no ap-
parent let-up in the demand for those
products,
On the other hand, there was in
creased activity in the textile indus
tries. The mill consumption of both
cotton and silk was the largest for
any month in the past two years. The

to rely once more upon the support OF
a few hundred thousand amateurs.
Obviously, not only must broadcast

itself to the public taste. At present,
it costs about $4,000 month to
maintain the Westinghouse Radio
Corporation Of Americas station in
Newark, New Jersey, although musi-
clans and lecturers are willing to give
their services with out charge. The
maintenance expenses must be met by
large sales of apparatus. Because as
yet there is no practical way OF pre-
venting anyone with the proper cleo
tromagnetic ear from listening to that
station, it follows that hundreds OF
dealers and dozens of manufacturers,
who contribute not one cent to the
support of broadcasting are depend
