TORREYSON IS SECRETARY
OF STATE BOARD OF EDUCA-
TION, WHICH HELD FIRST
MEETING FRIDAY.

Little Rock, July 15.-The prelimi-
nary meeting of the newly-created
state board of education was held Fri
day in the office of Superintendent
Cook. Those present were Messrs.
Cook, Torreyson, Kuykendall, Rey-
nolds, O'Daniel, Lee and Bradham.
Superintendent Cook is ex-officio

the day to general discussion of its
duties and outlining policy to be pur-
sued.
Committees were appointed on per-
manent school fund, chartered insti-
tutions, state aid to high schools, IL
censing teachers, school houses and
sanitation, and new educational ef-
fort. The last named subject is in
the hands of the executive committee.
One of the most important subjects
discussed was that of the distribution
Of the state aid to high schools provid-
ed by the last legislature. From in
formation presented by Prof. J. H.
Reynolds of the University of Arkan-
sas, it appears that there are about
40 schools in the state that will par
tieipate in the $4,000 annually for
high school aid and ten that will
participate in the $4,000 annually
for normal training. Another meet
ing of the board is to be held about
August Is, at which time the applica-
tions will be received from the various
schools and the appointments made
as the board may determine their sew
eral needs require. AS soon as the
board has formulated its plans for
this distribution, the widest publicity
will be given, explaining fully every
condition, so that every district in
the state will have an equal opportun-
ity to apply for aid.

"An improvement in cotton cond,
tions during the past week is general
ly reported. In central and eastern
states the crop promise could hardly
be improved upon, as the plant is
growing rapidly and fruiting heavily,
and has had an abundance of mois-
ture, while the cultivation is still
good, work in the fields having been
interfered with only in limited locali-
ties by excessive rainfall. With aver
age favorable weather during the re-
mainder Of the season a record crop
will be the result over this large area.
boil weevils are more numerous in
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas,
but the damage so far is noticeably
small.
"The earliness of the crop is nota-
BILE feature in the eastern and central
states, and grown to half-grown bolls
are reported in the most northern dis
tries.
''In Texas and Oklahoma moderate
showers to heavy rains, widely dis
tributed, served to arrest the deterior-
alton that had set in over wide areas,
and the outlook is therefore improved.
The plant in many places is small,
however, and more rain is needed to
put it back into good condition. East
ern and central Texas counties are an
exception to this statement, for the
crop there is good.

Daniel Webster Had Wisconsin Prop
QrtV

That Daniel Webster was a land
holder in Wisconsin in early days is
little known fact. While visiting his
birthplace at Cooksville, village about
six miles from Evansville, in Rock
county, we'll known for it's secluded and
undemonstrative existence, L. B. Ring
of Neillsville, probation officer for the
state board of control, uncovered inter-
esting historical facts. A large tract
of land, upon part of which Cooksville
now stands, was owned in territorial
days by the immortal Webster. He
was busy man and never got time to
travel out west to take account of his
possessions, but he turned it in on &C
count to his family physician, DR.. John
Porter, who, with his family, left
Marshfield, Mass, then the home of
the Websters, and settled at Cooks
vile, being followed later by brother.
From that time to this the Porters have
been prominent in that community,
considerable number of that name still
residing there The main street of
Cooksville is Webster street, named in
honor of the great constitutional ex-
FOUNDER.
Cooksville abounds with mounds, the
remains of race of pioneers who built
a fine old New England town, whose
architecture still tells of R. Houfe,
an English builder, who was brought
west by the Porters to build the town.
Ralph L. Warner, teacher of arts and
crafts of the Racine high school, has
transformed an ancient mansion into
summer home, while others of refined
and quiet tastes have delighted to make
the village a summer resort. The large
square in the center of the town has
church in the center, Puritan fashion,
and there isn't a store or phone in
the entire town.

schoolman has been very pronounced,
and he goes from here, where he has
ably conducted our schools for the past
few years, with nothing but praise
from our people for the good work he
accomplished. = Sun Prairie Country

burned was thoroughly soaked with
water. The building was used only for
storage purposes of stemming stock
and contained a good many thousand
pounds. The fire is believed to have
been set by tramps. The loss is fully
covered by insurance which is now in

Prof. Frank NJ. Jack, late of the
River Falls normal school and former
principal of the schools here, was
slightly injured in wreck at the South
GAINESVILLE yards of the Northwestern
road Tuesday evening, when his car of
household goods was sent crashing into
a caboose of stockmen injuring nine
others enroute from points in the north
west to Chicago. Prof. Jack was NOV
ing from River Falls to Beloit, having
resigned his position in the normal on
account of i'll health. His household
effects were badly smashed in the
wreck though his horse fortunately es-
capped with but few bruises. Mrs. Jack
and children were visiting her mother
here at the time but joined her husband
in Beloit Wednesday. Mr.. Jack who
was riding in the car to attend to his
property was buried beneath a mass of
tangled furniture and wreckage and it
is mystery to all who saw the wreck
that he is living to tell his experience.
Mr.. Jack is we'll known in educational
circles throughout this and neighboring
states for the active part he has taken
in high school and normal work for
many years. He has served as princi-
pal of the high schools for some time
at Edgerton, Sparta and the South Side
school at Milwaukee.

Tom Jones Talks Plain.

T. N. Jones, of Tyler, presents
one of the strongest indictments
against the saloon trusts in Tex
as that has ever been written.
1t goes into the very heart of the
liquor traffic question and calls
names and cites instances of
liquor control that are sufficient.
ly clear to cause every reader to
pause and consider well before
he passes lightly over the facts
recited. There is nothing vic
ious in what Mr.. Jones says, but
the revelations made are such as
to cause alarm. He shows how
the liquor interests have domi-
mated the state government, not
even overlooking the educational
institutions under state control;
how the saloon trust is seeking
to throttle the courts of the land.
1t is just such an article as must
appeal to the voter who has the
good of the state at heart, and
having read it you will be more
inclined to heed the warning il
gives. One editorial effort t.
answer the article has only
tended to emphasize the truth il
contains. -Waxahachie Light.

Dear Sir: A bank messenger

A man who is going to paint

Ions. Devoe is the least gallon

Its gallons that costs; it isn't

err, II or II or 13 and so on to q
gallons; and every gallon has to
be paid for and painted-$2 to
81 day for painting paint
stuffed out with some sort OF
whitewash. The less the price
Of a gallon, the more the gallons
Bank messengers better look
out for their bags not stop tt
hunt for small coin; and property
owners better look out for the
gallons that make the expense
and not for the price which has
nothing to do with it.

Governor colquitts in his Aus
tin speech against state wide
prohibition il quoted by the
Dallas News a. follows;
He argued At length that good
government begins at home. 1t
was true some homes we're
wrecked by strong drink, but he
asked il prohibition had ever
made any homes happy. Other
things besides drink make homes
unhappy, he declared, and he
urged these women who would
convert him, also preachers, TO
begin their influence at home.
He told the preacher TO preach
more religion and less politics.
Applause)
Earlier in the speech the
News reports him a. follows;
The governor said he did not
believe in the principal of prohi-
bition, but was q strong advocate
OF the policy of local option, be-
cause it enables the people OF
each precinct and county to con-
troll the liquor traffic in their
own communities.
When a community votes out
the saloons that is prohibition
just the same as if the people of
Texas voted out the saloon, the
only difference being in the area
of territory. Therefore, if pro-
hibition was brought about by
the local option law makes happy
homes it will do the same thing
under a state wide law. There
can be no doubt but the local OPP
ton law began at home with the
mothers, wives and sisters who
suffered as result of the traffic
in liquor, hence it is law for
better homes. If we spread loo
al option over the state under
the title Of state wide prohibit
ton it would be the same in bas-
is. In principal there is not a
whit of difference between local
option prohibition and state wide
prohibition and both are for hap
pier homes. OF all the mushy
arguments this by the governor
is the ushiest.-Marshall Mes
SenRer.
