COMBINATION FOR HAYS.

As related in Little Rock dispatches in this issue, Governor Hays has de- manded the resignations of the re- naining members of the state board of charities, with the exception of Conrad Elsken of Subiaco and E. w. McCorkle of Philadelphia, who had already resigned in disgust at the ac- tion of the majority, and of General Thomas Green of Pine Bluff, who was appointed in October, and had no part in the matters that led up to the res- ignation of Dr. Greene as superin- tendent of the state hospital for ner- vous diseases. For his courageous ac- ton the governor should have the commendation of every citizen who has at heart the honor and credit of Arkansas and the welfare of the wards of the state. It is now incum- bent on us to uphold the governor in his action, for it doubtless will call down upon him the enmity of the pol iticians of the faction represented by the discredited members of the state charities board. We should hold up the hands of the governor and let him know that his act is approved. It is easy to find fault and we are all too ready to do so. Here is an opportun- ity to commend and we should be just as ready to do that as to criticise. The governor has vindicated the honor of the state and should be commended accordingly. - Fort Smith Times-R Record.

But she is prepared to meet the many social problems in the con- munity where she will teach. The teacher is regarded as the leader in the community and as such the Nor mai teacher holds precedence over all others.-Normal Echo.

REDUCE HOUSE,
 HOLD EXPENSES
Make Your Own Cough
 Medicine

The difference in buying one of the most efficient, latest and up-to-date cough and cold remedies (which can be made at home) and buying the old, ordinary, ready-made kinds, is that with the new one you get all pure medicine, instead of buying large proportion of sugar and water, be- sides paying for bottles, corks and la bels; and it usually requires ? or bottles of the old-fashioned, ready made remedies to break up a cough or cold, while 2 ounces (50c worth) of Schiffmann's new Concentrated Ex- pectorant, which is so strongly con- centrated that 2 ounces, when mixed at home with simply one pint of gran ulated sugar and one-half pint of wat CT, make a full pint (16 ouncesl of excellent cough remedy, and will be sufficient to probably last the whole family the entire winter. It positive ly contains n chloroform, opium, morphine or other narcotics, and is so pleasant that children like to take it. Arrangements have been made with the Greeson Drug Company to refund the money to any person who finds it does not give perfect satisfac- tion, or if it is not found the very best remedy ever used for coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup, whooplng cough and hoarseness. You will be the sole judge, and under the positive guarantee by these druggists, abso- lutely no risk is run in buying this remedy Adv.

WHY THE NORMAL TEACHER SHOULD TEACH IN THE
 RURAL SCHOOL.

The rural school furnishes an
 abundance of material to be fashioned
 into noble men and women, whose characters will stahd firm through
 all the storms of life, and it needs a slillful hand to do this fashioning, as the children of the rural school do
 not have 80 many educational advan- tages as the city children have, they need a teacher who can help them use their few advantages in the best possible way. If she be a Nor nal teacher she is prepared to train not only the intellectual side of their lives but also the physical and social. In her literary work at the Normal she has become acquainted with some of the best methods of teaching now in use, and as a result, when she goes into a rural school, she is en- abled to make the work of the pupils pleasure, where once it was a drudgery. Her physical culture and atheltic training will help her in dis ciplining the school. All children like to play and her training has been of such a nature that she can correlate her work in way that both the physical and intellectual sides are de veloped at the same time. Her social

The proposed charter is not to take

general election in this city will occur
before that time Let the city get out
of debt and fix 1t so tnat the city will
never get in debt again. If the county
of Marion can run on 81 mills it would
seem that the current expenses of our
city could be limited and properly run
on tax limited not to ) mills, or even
less. The present Indebtedness should
be paid and the city council ought to
be empowered to levy a further tax,
for that purpose only, of 10 mills, or
more; but make such taxes not applica-
BILE for any other purpose. In order
to make sure of such purpose charter

suggest that the present committee be
retained and that the proposed charter
be considered withdrawn; and to that
end oaly tnat it be voted down, That
the public give to such committee their

High Taxes and That City Charter
(Continued.)

My friend, DR.. j. N. Smith, tele
phOned me yesterday that | had made
a mistake in my article about the item
of IL mills for street purposes, for
they had taken that out in the last
revision. Through some unforeseen rea-
son had not received copy of such
revision, and through the kindness Of
DR.. Smith, was mailed copy of the
last revision of the proposed city char
ter. ] find that he is correct, and
hasten to correct this matter. am also
informed that through measures pro.
posed by past city councils the charter
has been so amended by the initiative
that the city can now levy tax not
exceeding Is mills.
In the past tine bondsharps have told
us that bonds would not hurt us, that
our grandchildren would be the ones
that would pay them. With such a slo-
gan we have voted nearly million
dollars in bonds within the last 20
years Our experience is that we our,
selves, and not our posterity are al
ready groaning under the load that VIC
now carry. 1t causes one to pause and
wMdcr what the limit will be. We
find the city of Portland has levied in
1913 (for 1910 a tax of 7 mills and a
fraction of min, and that the present
levy for next year will be higher and
amounts to s mills and fraction of a
mill. The county of Marion in 1918
levied for county purposes an INDECENT
soldier fund. not counting road tax, 81
mills. IL has seemed mcomprehensible
that a resident of our city should be

against them, too. 1t was pretty clear,
however, that this was an empty threat,
since the Teutons already had on their
hands all the trouble they could take
care of without adding another foe to
their list unnecessarily.
Later, il was understood that Russia
suggested to Italy that it must certain

Of arms. Italy was as indifferent to

Undoubtedly Germany and Austria
were very angry at the Italians for re-
fusing to help them against the allies.
II was not long, however, before it be-
came apparent that in case Italy joined
Great Britain, France and Russia
against the Teutonic combination,
practically the last straw would be
laid on the latters back. The Italians
did, too, show strong signs of doing
Just this thing. It was at that point,
it is conjecture, that they received a
promise Of liberal territorial compensa-
tion if they would continue neutral.

Russians would rather have had Italy

hardly object to the fulfillmGnt Cf any

Thus, if the Germans win, the allies
will have nothing to say about the re-
ward they give to Italy for preserving
the peace, while il the allies win they
cannot, with any kind OF good grace

sion Of the Italian frontier as the one

The opinion was rendered in the

to have an irrigation season declared
from Sept. 18th to April 1st They
wanted this so that all persons hold
ing priorities should be compelled to
exercise those priorities at a given
time in the year. The lower courts
granted the request but changed the
time from October 1st to April 1st.
The defendants carried the case to
the supreme court and today the court
reversed the lower court and holds
that the owner of a priority can use
water at any time in the entire year.

State PRINTING Costs Less.

Denver, Dec, 9.-Commissioner of
Printing. Harry w. Risley. today made
public his report for the biennial per
iod. This report shows that the en-
pense of printing for the state govern.
ment is gradually being decreased. In
i907-S the total cost of printing was
Sl0S.So5.7S. In 1911-12 1t was SI4.-
1890. and under Mr., Risley in 1884
II was 61,S54.91 which shows gen
eral reduction in expense all the way
along. Mr.. Risley suggests that the
legislative printing should be handled
by the Commissioner of Printing in
stead of under the present plan and
that the general law covering print
ing should be amended so as to allow
the commissioner to buy printing in
the open market whenever he deems
1t to the best best interest of the
state to do so.
