Cut your coat according to your
cloth. Most of the hard times on the
farm, as well as everywhere else,
come from living beyond our means.
The farmers of this country ought to
be happy. They may be happy; but
to be 50 they must keep their needs
below their resources.

Time to Select Seed Potatoes
When digging potatoes it is also
good time to select the seed for an
other year. AS the tubers lie spread
out upon the ground, it will be easy to
select the best and most perfect ones
from those hills producing the largest
number, as well as to pick out those
of proper size and shape.

He gave figures from the last census report showing that the states that had been spending the most for education had increased in wealth faster than those that had not expended so much. Massachusetts, which, spent more per capita for schools and had the most perfect schools of any state in the Union. had more wealth per capita than any other state. This was due 10 superior brain power which had been developed by education. Prof. Reynolds said the- great resources of Ar- kansas would be developed, if rot by our own people then by out siders. and he made stirring appeal tor the better education Of our sons ard daughters in or der that they nav De fitted b as Same tie responsibilities of the positions that will come as a re- se5t of th5s development.

Afternoon Session.

The first topic for discussion ID tfle afternoon was. What should be the minimum length of term of the country sehool3" The dis cuss;on was opened by ". D. Moore. of Prairie Grove. Mr. Moore gave some of the condi- .ions that had existed in his dis triet, and from observation and experience it was his opinion that a shool of less than six months was practically time wasted.
 MT. Smith agreed with NIT. Moore that less than six months was no school at all, and he also spoke in favor of Amendment No. $.
 Mr. Mintun contended that there should be at least nlne months term, and ne was in favor oi tufning the money that came into the state land of5ce into the permanent school fund, and ad- voeated tie passage of tie b4l now pending in Congress to ap- proprlate every 3bth section of land to the permanent school fund.
 MT. Pearson moved that a com mittee of three be appointed by the chairman to draft a resolution memorializing our representatives in congress and the state legisla- ture 10 work for the passage of the bill. The motion prevailed and the chair annoueed as the committee ". 5. Pearson, A. ". Mintun and $. II. Slaughter.
 A vote was taken, and 1t was the unanimous sentiment that nothing less than a six months term of school would be satisfac- tory.
 "Uniformity of text books was discussed by ". s. Carson, and he spoke of the benefits that would resnlt from state uniform ity.
 The subject of compulsory school law was then taken up, and (. $. Stearns was called up- on and expressed himself as being in tavor of such a law.
 ". H. Adkins, formerly of Iowa, said they had such law

in that state, and after seeing its workings lie believed Ii to be q good thing. Y. E. Simpson and
 -. 5. Pearson also spoke in favor .: such a law.
 J. \. Stockburger didn't think a compulsory law should be en- acted until pooFi>ion is made to furnish the poor with text books. Ii this were done he would favor such a law.
 NJ. C. Smith, ol Cincinnati. thought d compulsory school law would be the grandest thing that could be done, and that the poor would be the ones to be benefited. The rich can possibly afford to go without an education, but the poor cannot.
 NJ. A. Stoekburger thought ar- rangments should be made to furnish the needy with text books before enaeting law compelling attendance al school.
 Mr. Cardwell, of Prairie Grove explained that in thirty states where d compulsory law was in effect that the district furnishes books free to those who make af- idaf1t that they are unable to buy books.
 In order 10 get the sense of the meeting vote was taken on the question, and only two voted in opposition 10 compulsory edaca- ton.
 \ motion was made and carried that permanent organization of the directors of the county be formed.
 On motion of AIr. Carson 1t was voted that all present directors of the county be continued as mem bers of the organization after tie expiration of their present term ol office.

 The first convention Of school directors ever held in Washing tor County. and, so far as known, the first in the state, was held al Fayetteville Saturday, August 1s. The attendapee was better than any one expected and the greatest interest was manifested by those present in the school affairs of the county, and great good is bound Q follow as re- sult of tie meeting.
 The meeting #as called b order by Judge ". E. Williams, wHo, iil fe" vel chosen words, explained the object of the meet ing and expressed gratiteation that -s9 many directors of the county felt sufficient interest in educational matters 10 attend. Dr. N. Yates Was called on and further explained @hatit #as hoped 10 accomplish by the meet ing to arouse more interest throughout tie county in behalf of the =eonmon schools. s,asll- ington County, being tfle= nome Of the State University. t was expected to set an example for other counties of tle state and take 1I5e lead in educational nat ters. On motion Dr. Yates, of Fayetteville, Was elected chair man Of the meeting and John F. Stafford, of SPringdale, secretary.
 The hrst subject on tie pre- gram for discussion Was Com puIsory attendance npon public schools. but MesSrs. Adams and Holeomb. wl3o were 10 cad in the discussion, being absent the ques- ton was passed over for the pres ent.
 The next topic tor discnssion was Amendment No. $. which will be voted upon by the people at the September election. The first speaker 4. ". Nlinton, of Sulphur City. MT. Minton stated that he had been teaching for twenty-seven years, and this was the first directors meeting lie had ever attended or heard of, and 1t certainly spoke well for Wash ington County. He sad he was a friend 10 the University, but II was big enough to take care of itself and thatit WAS the country schools that needed looking after. Instead of changing the eonstitu- ton so as to limit the school tax to ten mills he favored removing al restrictions and allowing the people of each district 10 vote any sum they desired. II was simply matter of local self gov ernment and he did not believe the people of one school district should be allowed 10 say how much or bow little tax the people in another district should vote. NIT. Mintun was followed by ". E. Simpson, Sam Dowell, E. D. Hellstern, ". $. Carsor, Dr. Yates, A. NJ. Reed. ". E. Pear son and ]. A. Stoekburger, all of whom spoke in favor of the adop- tion of the amendment, but lack of space forblds any extended mention of their remarks. Prof. ]. II. Reynolds, of the University of Arkansas, was called tor and made an eloquent plea for the adoption of the amendment. He spoke only from the financial side of the question, and said looking at It from this sordid standpoint 1t would pay 10 vote for the amendment. He spoke of the great progress that had been
