On Schools Now

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 90 Cali.
fornia ranks twenty ninth among
the states of the union in the per-
centage of state and local expendi-
lures going to education, according
to the report of the United States
educational finance inquiry comm1s-

lie instruction.
This report shows that California
spends 26.7 per cent of all state
and local taxes for the support cf
the schools, whereas Iowa, wh4,h
ranks first in expenditure, spends
~ ~er cent.
"The report should set at rest the
stat mtnt uuat the California >rhoo <
are the most expensively conducted
schools in the country. - Wood said
today. "California has treated the
elementary and high schools gen
erouslv, but the record shows that 2S
states give larger share of public
funds to public cducatron.

Orchestra Will
Charge For It's
Annual Concert

After considerable discussion OF
the pros and cons of the matter, il
has been decided that the orchestra
of Central Union high school will
charge admission TO their annual
concert, and will also receive full
scholastic credit for their work.
This matter, together with the
question of whether or not the or
ehestra was not entitled to per-
centage of the receipts from the
plays and operetta at which they
play, has caused the advancement OF
number of different viewpoints.
In regard TO the latter, Prof. House,
offered the orchestra the opportun-
ity of choosing between a percent
age and getting only half credit for
a year s work. The orchestra decid-
ed in favor Of the fun credit.
Proceeds from the annual concert
will be used for music stands and
other orchestral equipment to be-
come property of the school

port summarizes the condition as
follows:
Retail stores report sales aver
aging l0 per cent better than they
were last year at this time. The
general business situation is good.
Bank deposits are holding up we'll,
averaging from 10 to % per cent
above those of last wear. Interest
rates are steady. Some of the old
loans are being gradually liquidated.
An active construction program
is keeping labor we'll employed. Real
estate transactions are still slow.
THE situation in the dairy bust
ness is very good. Butterfat is sell.
ing around 80 cents per pound.
lit is estimated that the barley
acreage will be considerably less
than that of last year; estimates Of
the cotton crop remain unchanged,
prices now ranging aroung - TO So
cents per pound.
There are probably about 10000
head of feeder cattle in the valley,
somewhat less than the usual quaint
lily. On the othcr hand, the feeulng
of sheep has increased to some ex-
tent.
The lettuce crop to date has not
been profitable, owing to loose heads
in the beginning of the season and
the serious cold waves in the con-
suming sections during January
which caught many ears in zero
weather. Lettuce is selling at from
so to s. cents per packed out crate J;
or from $1.10 to $50 f. o. b. The
quality is generally good except fo-
a little frost burn. Estimates of the
total shipments for the year are be-
ing reduced, but great deal will
depend upon market conditions and
weather.
