Board Has to Extend Time
for Pupils to Obtain Per-

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept. "a
two day extension has been granted
by the School Board to allow the
children to secure their permits for
attendance. The permit bureau will
be open the remainder of the week,
and although classes will start
Thursday morning, those who have
not yet received permits will be
excused long enough to get them.
Permits will be issued to the colored
children on Thursday instead of
tomorrow.
1t was found necessary to grant
this extension because Of the last
minute rush on the tax office where
parents must appear and get a re.
ceipted bill for their taxes. This
receipt must be presented at the
permit bureau before the children
are allowed to enter the school.
Yesterday it was necessary to place
police at the tax office to keep
the people, who crowded the office
in line.

he declined to comment.
Get me some more returns" he
said. Il am interested in the final
returns" Davis was in strict re-
tirement so far as political callers
was concerned. He devoted himself
TO work on his coming speeches,
but took time off to play a round
or golf with members of his party
and to view the remarkable mount
ain scenery. The Davis party
motored here from Denver. follow
ing an old mountain trail for thirty
miles through a series of gorges.
The nominee was delighted with the

He was accompanied by Senator

means to cure agricultural ailments.

regions belong to us and sugar
comes in free from them.
They Want It Taxed.

They accordingly want heavy
import tax on sugar from Cuba,
which has made the mistake of re.
naming an independent country.
Such are the contestants. The
public imagines a monster called
the Sugar Trust" holding the
sugar tariff up high with brawny,
hairy army. There is no sugar trust.
There are two factions of producers
of sugar. One wants the tariff UP.
The other wants it down.
The up faction has been politically
more powerful and has attracted
more public men in Washington, as
will be seen in the next article.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

No one can fool the big railway
companies of this country on the
part the motor truck is going to
play in transportation. Already the
New York Central system has real
lied that on short hauls the motor
truck beats freight trains, so it is in
stalling whole fleets of trucks to
haul goods that have heretofore been
carried on '1ocal" freight trains.
Older citizens of Mountain Home can
remember when railroads would
have tried to put the motor truck
out of business instead of admitting
its efficiency. But it's different now.
Today the men who own the rail
roads know that the motoor truck
can help them to make more money
and money is what they are after.
So they are going to combine the
trucks with their freight trains and
catch trade both coming and going
Maybe we won't live to see it, but
some of these days the railroads will
recognize the airplane as a COMPETE
tor and will establish routes of that
kind-so long as it pays to do so.
