Much concern is being felt by
growers of early potatoes over the
low prices which] fere prevailing, according to reports to the Department
of agriculture. Some reports state
thst growers aw receiving as low as
50 cents per bushel, which it to claim-
el to aot sufficient to cover cost of
production with increased labor costs
and the costs of bags ranging from
11 to 16 cents, each. Thia situation to
said to prevail throughout the entire
Eastern and Northeastern area of Hto
country. It to also reported that in
many instances the early yield has
been -hasp-pointing. Although Pennsylvania produces a large crop of

TAKE HEART
The people of America
Have reason to take heart—
The ugly brutal game of war
_..  May soon from us depart.
At last, at last, cornea the good sees
That liquor may be banned.
Does God permit thto awful war
To make us understand?

Against this graft arrayed—
In these sad years of post repeal,
Haveworked and   watched   and
prayed.
What good haa liquor ever dona?
It fils oar land with crime...
A menace to our soldier boys...
To banish It—tto time.
And there'll he victory at last  ■
If we but do our share,
"Shall not the Judge of all the earth
Do Right?" God hears oar prayer.

TEJ.CHERS'MEETm65 PLANNED
FORMULATED AT  MEETING   OF
THE INSTRUCTORS
fisMintierji plans for tha 1848
Blair County teacher's institutes
were formulated tost Saturday hy a
group of supervising principals, principals, and classroom teachers called
.together by County Superintendent,
J. E. Butte. Sixteen districts were represented by nineteen persona.
The opinion of the group waa unanimous in favor of a plan to •conaoii-
dete the high school and elementary
groups Into one body and to reduce
the number of meetings from eight
to two. Such a plan would be to line
(with tito pros-- effort to save gasoline and tires due to tbe fact that
elementary and high school teachers
sen very often group together for
transportation.
Ia order to meet government requests to keep the number of days of
school missed and the number ef holidays to a minimum, the . institutes
were arranged to open at 3:00 p. m.
This will necessitate early closing on
two days and the time of closing will
depend upon the distanee to be travelled by tbe teachers.
The dates and  places of tke institutes were arranged as follows:
Thursday,  September 17 at Roaring
Spring High School.
Tbursdsy, Octobeh lg at Bellwood-
Antis Hish School
(The elementary institute formerly
announced for August 29 hss been
recalled.)
Definite plans for programs will be
arranged bp the following committer
appointed by the executive board and
by the county superintendent:- John
A. Gather, E. Grant Herr, Walter
Garvin, Pauline Hamilton and Mrs.
Margaret Ryan. Mr. Garber has called this committee to meet on next
-Saturday, August 18 together with
■supervising principals Paul Kurtz and
George Replogle. Mr. Kurte mid Mr.
Re-plogre ertH arrange for* entertainment and for the evening meals.
There will be little change ia the
plan ef conducting the institute ffer
high sehool teachers who have meetings pate time in various sections.
The oto-aentary teachers will follow
a plan somewhat similar to that of
the high achool group. Each group organises and provides its own sectional
program.
The persons attending the preliminary meeting on last Saturday were
Paul Kurte, D. B. Kulp, 8. P. Koelle,
George Reploglt, Warren McCary,
George Weiss, Wfelter Garvin, Elvut
Weidenhamer, I. H. Benner, Robert
Collary, Mrs. Florence Slep, Eunice
Msnley, William Walton, Ludnda
Zook, Blanch Bags-few, Mra Gert
rude Poster*, Mary Shaw, Mis. Margaret Ryan, Mra Basel Fyfe, John
Gather and J. E. Butte.
The date for opening of schools in
Blair County to a matter to be determined by local achool boards. Somt
districts will open school on Monday,
August 31, while others will not. open
until Tuesday, September 8. The
Morrison Cove area definitely post*
poned opening until September 8 to
comply with requests from the State
Employment Office and The Blue
■Mountain Canneries. At least twenty-
five teachers and a large number of
high school students are employed in
helping harvest and can a large crop
of sweat corn. A labor shortage makes
it difficult to replace many of the
teachers who sre trained in responsible positiena The new consolidated
achool at Williamsburg wVI likely
not open before September 14.
