New School To Cost $250,000
$4,000 For The
Equipment
POLLS OPEN AT 10 A. M.
Salvage of Present Building
To Be Used For Bus
Garage

Next Saturday, March 18th, the
voters Of this school district will
be called upon to make their de-
cision as to whether they want a
new school building or not. That Is
the issue, as set forth in the school
boards proposal to vote bonds not
to exceed $165, 900 and to authorize
the board to tear down the present
Senior High School building. This
plan includes a direct grant of
$135,OOO from the Federal govern
ment, and provides for w. p. A. Ia
Dor in dismantling the present
building.
The polls will be open for voters
to cast their ballots from 10 a. m,
to IL noon and from one p. m, to
four p. m.
The p. w. A. grant has nothing
to do with labor as it is absolutely
and only financial proposition.
The school board in it's plans has
included that all available labor in
the city or community be used on
the new structure. This includes
those on w. p. A., as well as those
who are not.
There is considerable opposition
to the tearing down of the present
building, but there Is no other al
tentative for the school board, for
it cannot be used for school pur-
poses If a new building is erected.
IF this bond issue is defeated and
another is presented, which will be
done very soon after the election,
it must again include the dismant-
ling of the present Senior High
School, according to information
received this week. The need of a
new school building is stressed in
the following letter from Theodore
Utne, director of high schools:
State of Minnesota,
Department Of Education,
st. Paul, March 6, 1887.
I Mr.. r. e. Hanson,
Clerk, Board of Education,
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of the request of
your board Of Education for brief
statement relating to the need for
more adequate high school facili-
ties in your community.
It has been my privilege to visit
the schools at Sank Centre on a
number of different occasions dur
ing the last dozen years. I have
been very favorably impressed with
the quality of teaching service, the
excellent pupil attitude, the COM
petent administration, and the
helpful supervision which I have
found in the school. It has always
appeared to me. however. that the
senior high school building facili-
ties are considerably below stand
ard. Practically all COMMUNITIES in
the State Of Minnesota as large as
Sank Centre have considerably
better high school facilities than
you have in your school district. 1t
seems to me, therefore, that your
board has acted wisely in submit
ting to the voters of your district
the question of approving a bond

A gay, bantering troupe Of Har-
veymen went merrily on their way
to Glenwood Thursday evening
they were keyed for the battle to
a pitch they had never known be-
fore. The banter was spirited.
Coach Harvey won the first lap
of the long journey when he got
the toss over what jerseys to wear
with Alexandria's Bill Williams.
1t was to be Sank Centres night.
There was a vibrance in the air
as the two teams poised in a split
second before the first ball was
tossed at center. The tenseness
that was obvious in those two
teams on the floor was reflected
no less in the jammed house that
night. For that night the district
champ was picked.
Gaining momentum in a first
half defensive clash both teams
set killing pace that romped UP
and down the court. But the boys
were keyed too high to last. Alex
andria settled themselves during
the half rest, but the locals were
imbued with the responsibility
that was theirs-they could not re-
lieve that tension. Alex taking a
grip on herself launched the first
offensive drive of the ball game
and landed way out in front 40 to
%.
Alexandria went on as the team
to win the district-Sauk Centre as
the team whose own pace killed
them, and as the team who might
have
That first half provided the best
basketball throughout the entire
tournament. A pace that was faster
than in any other game was OPEN
ed with fouling when Alexandria
took three points via the foul
route. Then Urness dumped the
first bucket, but Brendon was
quick to grab one for himself too.
Walker took two then In rapid
fire succession with a flip shot and
a one-hand from the corner. The
gun barked with the locals leading

career with his consistent covering

New taxes on District residents In
excess Of budget requirements until
the tax burden is more equally di-
vided were opposed by the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association.
H. F. Marti, vice chairman of the
Committee on Laws and Legislation,
led q discussion on District tax bills
now before Congress. The associa-
ton viewed the proposed income tax
as an undue hardship on the small
land-ownlng class in that taxes on
real estate would not be reduced by
the increased revenue. Opposition to
an increase in the gasoline tax and
a weight tax on automobiles was re-
affirmed.
A resolution was adopted urging
that the Jefferson Memorial be placed
In less congested part of the city
than the Tidal Basin, and that the
memorial be unitarian as we'll hs
ornamental A stadium or hospital
was suggested as more suitable.
Expressing indignation that pro-
visions for new Pennsylvania ave-
hue bridge had been cut out of the
appropriation for the District for the
coming year. the association de-
manded that steps for the erection of
another span rather than repairing
the old one.
A. F. E. Scher addressed the group
on the common problems of the vari-
GUS associations and extended to them
an invitation to attend the dedica-
ton of the new fire house at Four

1888 FARM PLANS
TO AID CONSUMER
Conservation P rogxr a m
Works Two Ways, State
College Chief Says

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. o.
The 1888 agricultural conservation
program is intended to protect the
interests of the consumer as well as
those of the grower.
The main detectives o fthe program
said E. Y Floyd, of State College, are
to stabilize production and to enrich
the SOIL
The program is designed to fix the
acreage of >soil-depleting crops at a
point that would provide abundant
supplies for the consumer at price
fair to him and the producer, Floyd
added.
And by calling for definite amount
of soil-building practices, the program
seeks to increase 1.-The soils fertility
and conserve it or the future.
When prices fIuctuate up and down
from one extreme to another, Floyd
pointed out, this works a hardship
on the farmer, the consumer, and
the dealers who handle farm com
.nodities. 3 lfa
He also said that high prices induce
farmers to plant all the cash crops
they can to take advantage of the
high prices they hope to get. This
tends to exhaust the soil, and when
bumper crops areJl harvested, prices
are driven down again.
Low prices make farmers feel that
they have to plant lall the cash crops
possible, Floyd, went on, in a desper-
ate attempt to exc out a living. Again,
the soil is exhausted, and bumper
crops keep prices down.
But when prices are; at "fair level,
he said, farmers are in better posi-
ton to supply consumers with what
they need and also balance The farm
ing operations by growing soil-build-
ing crops in addition to cash crops.

HIGH SCHOOL BACK
OF THE ROLL CALL
Home Hygiene Glasses Sup
ported Solely by Red
Cross Local Funds
Bv w. ID. PAYNE,

Principal, Henderson High School.
The Henderson high school has a
very definite interest in the annual
Red Cross roll call.
This year We have the home hygiene
classes for the fifth consecutive year.
These classes are taught by a regis
tered nurse who is a graduate of an
approved school of nursing. The class
es are offered to our junior and SEN
ior girls and this year we have 81 girls
taking the classes.
Mrs. J. 5. Virgins, of Wake Forest,
is teaching three separate classes OF
the work in home hygiene and care OF
the sick. The classes are limited to
a membership of 20 in order that the
girls may receive adequate individual
instruction.
The topics studies in the class in
clude:
Individual health and personal hy-
giene, healthful home environment,
healthful community environment, ba-
bies and their care, the care of older
children, indications of sickness, equip
/; ment and care of the sick room, baths
Z and making occupied beds, sick room
appliances and procedures, applica-
tons Of heat cold and counter irFi-
tants, medicines and other remedies,
feeding the sick, the home attendant
and her daily routine, care of patients
with communicable diseases, special
points in the care of the convalescent,
common ailments and emergencies.
The nurse who teaches the classes
is paid by the local chapter of the
American Red Cross from the funds
received from the annual roll call.
The classes were organized in the
Henderson high school on an expert
mental basis by Mrs Leon Wick in 1888
and have been so interesting to the
girls of the school and so successful
that they are now part of the regu-
lar course of study and are required
for graduation. (
They are made possible solely
through the support of the Vance
county chapter of the American Red
Cross
For this reason I wish to urge our
patrons and friends to join the Red
Cross for 1898 in order that we
may continue these classes next year

AUTO LICENSE CUT
BUT NOT GAS TAX
And There Is Still Chance of
Diverting Funds To
Other Causes

Raleigh, Nov. 22-Owners of auto
mobiles throughout North Carolina
will receive registration cards for the
new year about December 1, accord
ing to information given out at the
State Department of Revenue, which
is preparing to issue license tags for
1888 to the largest number of cars
ever to operate over the States high
ways.
Under the new schedule of license
tag prices adopted by the 1887 Cen
eral Assembly car owners will be able
to get their tags for slightly lower
prices this year than in the past. Tags
will be on sale and may be used on
automobiles after December 1, it has
been announced.
But while there has been a reduction
in the licensing fee, there has so far
been no reduction in the tax on the
fuel these cars use and there still re-
mains the threat of diversion of a
large amount from state highway
funds to other purposes, according to
S. Gilmer Sparger, Secretary of the
North Carolina Petroleum Industries
Committee, with headquarters here.

dependent upon other revenues of the
State" said Mr.. Spangler, who was a
member of the 1887 State Senate. eff
other revenues are not sufficient to
meet appropriations the budget bu-
reau is authorized to tap the highway
funds to the extent of $2,0O0O0O.
"This should not be the case," he
continued, "for if we continue the
practice of diversion, North Carolina
will soon be in the same boat with
Massachusetts,, which has been warn
ed by the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads shat it will lose $1,O00,O0O per
vea~ federal aid unless diversion of
s6.0O0,0O0 in highway funds, authorized
in the dying moments of the legisla-
ture, is avoided"
