cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or over in Missouri, that she Is glad she has a good education, but she does not expect to misuse it by writing poetry or essays on the future of wo- man. She said it would enable her to correct the grammar of any of her sweethearts who may speak of "dorgs" in her presence, or "seen" a man; and it would also come handy when she wanted to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman could buy with three eggs at the grocery, giYen the price per pound of soap and per dozen of eggs. It is not often that graduate gets so practical during the first sum- mer but it is a very good start.
 What Arkansas needs is more college graduates. We are willing to bear with their sun-fower philosophy and i'm practical day dreams to begin with. Everybody has dreamed dreams or ought to have done so. It is part of the great struggle to win in the battle of life and it means much to be capable of dreaming the dream that will set an ideal for a noble and useful life among men

cHAUNcEy RETURNS

Chauncey A. B., Ph. B. or P. Q. z. has returned from college and is ready to begin his trip on some primrose path of dalliance to fame. Chauncey has not yet decided what his life work will be. Many things have presented themselves to him. The literary world offers attractions for his superior ability. Law and medicine are thought of occasionally He might try farming if he had half a million capital and a country home to begin with. The pulpit has few attractions for Chaun- cey unless he could choose his churches and was assured of the proper vacation on full salary. The mercantile busi- ness is dull and common place and re- quires too long time to show the world one s real worth. There are several other things that might be done. Num- erous suggestions have been made and some consideration has been given to the great problem which Chauncey meets with when first out of school
 The problem is a grave one and the older Chauncey gets, the graver it will be. It is fact that the young college graduate can not realize how little of the practical in life there is about his ideas and how little the world cares whether he can read Livy or analyze the strata in Jupiter's moons. It takes some time to get back to the feeling that possessed him before the fresh man days, but the sooner it comes, the better it is for Chauncey
 The young graduate needs sympathy. He needs the help and advise of his best friends-his practical honest friends. He is by no means a creature to be made fun of, nor indeed to be pitied or jeered at by the semi-educat- ed flop, who, having accumulated few dollars, imagines himself on top in the struggle Chauncey is everybody s friend and is the representative of some very fine doctrines about life. If he happens to fall in line where he can put his theories into practice, he will be worth something to the world. He is likely to become a great force. His chances of success are far better than those of his cousin who didn't have time to go to college. Let every one give Chauncey the glad hand and bid him God speed on his great journey.
 There is something that sounds good about the Kansas girls declaration on her graduation that she didn't care a

Business
BY O. ;. JONES.

p W. ''' 'ND - i@A''
 There are some plain business propositions that even the com mon clod hopper can, and does understand and it takes fine spun argument of the politician and the glossy platitude of the tinancier to convince him that towns. counties, states and gov ernment should be immune from simple business methods in the conduct of their fiscal operations
 Suppose that Bill Smith bor- rowed S1,000.00 from John Jones. gives his note bearing in terest payable in ten years. At the end of five years, Smith, by industry and economy, has ac- cumulated big surplus" while Jones, by speculating in futures, finds himself badly in need of money to carry on his business. Now. under these circumstances the common clod hopper would have no trouble in deciding how the matter ought to be settled. He would say let Smith pay Jones the note Jones holds against him, interest and all, and if Jones needs more money let l him pay Smith the same interest l thatSmith paid him. This is the way an ordinary man would look at it and this is precisely what nine hundred and ninety mine men out of every thousand would 1 do and this would be just and right to both parties.
 But suppose Jones walks over to Smlth and says Smith you have surplus of money on hand and l need Sl500 awful bad just now In fact, l must have it ar go to the wall.
 Smith says all right, l have it, and you are more than welcome to it. Besides, l have a good monthly income from my rents. I will just turn that over to you as my agent collects it. ."
 Now Smith does notSay word about his note that Jones holds, but continues to pay the inter est on it and he does not ask Jones to pay any interest on the money he has turned over to him.
 But some one will say there | is no one who is as big a fool as you make Smith appear.
 But hold on-do you think the
