Ordin arily the business is strung along over sevoral months, but according to the government's orders, everything open ed up Oil July 15. Eastern buyers who thought to break the market and not pay tho govern ment's maximum price are having hard luck. A big crop has been reported and working on this basis the eastern job bers were somewhat backward about paying the maximum, figuring that the packers horo and in the valley would be overloaded It seems that the eastern men fig ured all wrong and that sales here have been mado only on the govern ment' maximum, and that up to date, no packer has seen fit to contract at a lower prico. Tho Drager Fruit Co., here m well as other ncking plants, have been ordered by tho government to hold all of the 50-fli puck for the government' disposal. This will figure this year about one-fourth of the crop. The only thing that is iu doubt now is a to the size of the crui as it is estimated many things may happen be fore it is harvested. From the present outlook, the crop 'will be about twice as large as that of ono .your ago in this vulloy.

J.W.O3l,J-8y, Jr., mt ATLANTA. with smjwh weighing tkom e LIGHT TACKLE.cn FIIWT FISHING BOARD DISAGREES ON NEWBUILDING Decision Of Supreme Court On Budget Law Effects School Districts At a meeting of the school board of directors held last evening, there was some differences of opinion in regard to the erection of a building to care for the metal trade working depart ment, to be established rnls fall H L. Clark, favored the erection of a building of brick or cement that would cost the district about $5000. Tho majority of the botrd favored a wooden or corrugated iron temporary building figuring that such a tempo? ary structure would ar,srer ail the pro sent purposes and that the permanent building could, be erected later when building materials wero not at the pre sent top figure. When Director Clark brought up the legality of the board spending money for the metal trades school, it was shown that from a legal standpoint, the question had been passed on by At torney General Brown, on request of State Superintendent Churchill. The opinion covered the ground taking the stand that the metal trade working derailment O be 'Mganize.l thi fall would fuif irrtV? the head oi bet terment of the ligh school. C-h) board also had the written opinion of Smith & Shields, school attorneys, that as long as the board incurred no indebtedness, it could legally erect tho buildings, uut that it was not authorized, on the other hand, to incur a Itcbt against the dis trict more than the budget called for. Iri a question ns to the budget prop osition, Director W. C. Winslow bnnght out th, point that in a recfn' decision of the supremo court in the case of Martin versus Gilliam county, the budget law of 1815 was void, ex cepting as it applied to counties." The question had been brought up as to whetner money could be uwd for the mrtHl trades work, as U had not beeu voted in tho budget. Now according to the opinion of tho supreme court, the new budget law is null and Void. These questions were brought out from the fact that Director H. L. Cl-irk- was opposed to the new departure" for boys work thinking the whole thing and the expenditure of money was ille gal. The majority of the board, backed by the opinions of the supreme court, State Superintendent Churchill and Smith & Shields, thought otherwise. On motion of Chauncey Bishop, bids will be advertised for covering two types of building, one of wood and the other of corrugated iron, both to havo cencrete floors. DESECfiATION OT THE FLAG.

We, most sincerely disapprove of the use of Old Glory as a decoration for the backs Snd radiators of automobiles or any place where anything is liable to bo placed upon it Rules governing the display of our nation's emblem, say that whenever possible the flag should float from the (staff, and should never be draped. We believe that the misuse of the flag is entirely through thoughtlessness or ignorance of the laws governing its display, but in such times as these when our whole nation is in arms to preserve and perpetuate the principles for which "Old Glory'' stands, we can but feel that such thouhtlessnefs and aql uiolj BOj pinoqs 3b(J oqj 9qtssod 15y order of the Wedgwick W R C.
