''Votes For Women" Campaign. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 27.-Much interest is being displayed in the state convention of the Ar kansas PoliticalEquality League which will be held in Little Rock Saturday, particularly as to the identity of the speakers. 1t is known that a number of prominent citizens of Arkansas have consented to address the suffragists, but it is also known that they have requested that their names be kept secret until tn time comes fo~ the addresses tC ,e delivered. Mrs. o. F. FL iii ton, president of the "votes fol women," is now working up the program TOT the con- yer ion, which she declares will be equalIy as interesting as an F tsh suffrage discussion, q gh not so bombastic.
 he sessions of the convention will be held in the old State House, and a banquet will be ten der l the visitors. Covers for 15o will be laid, which indicates the are quite a few suffrage sympathizers in Arkansas-or people who are willing to break bread with them anyway.

Connally's Characteristic Reply.
Special to Independent

Speclal to ln0ependent.
 Little Rock, April 27.-M. w. Connally, managing editor of the Memphis News-Scimitar, will be one of the visiting jour- nalists at the annual meeting of the Arkansas Press Associa- tion May 1920. In letter to Secretary of State Earl w. Hodges, Secretary of the Asso- citation, he says:
 Tn a moment of temporary alteration, and when l did not have the fear of the cudgel of retributive justice before my !eyes, I accepted an invitation to deliver the annual oration be- fore the Mississippi State Press Association, which meets in Jackson on the Second Tuesday in May. l expect to get over this ordeal, but I never expect to look the same. If I get back all in one piece and can arrange to steal the time, I will surely be with you becuse Arkansas is my old stamping ground, and if I cannot meet some of the news paper friends of my youth, I can at least find some of their sons or grandsons, because the crime of journalism runs in the blood"

For Better Schools.

After a years study of 659 rural schools, with 5000 others, and 395 schools systems, a spec ial Ohio commission has publish ed it's full report.
 The deplorable conditions re- vealed all over Ohio as regards sanitation nthe schools, and everything that relates to the education of body, character and mind, are only the counterpart of what prevails in many parts of the union.
 This is not saying that the pie ture lacks it's brighter side. But facts picked up on every page that 80 per cent of the town ship schools provide no supple mentary readers, with result ing aridity in the teaching of geography and history; that 25 per cent had no dictionaries that 72 per cent were never scrubbed, or not more than once | year; that 98 per cent never tested their water; that 34.2 per cent were so i'll ventilated in Oc- tober that the air was offensive to the nose; that in IT per cent the English of the teachers was not merely poor, but flagrantly bad--ought to awaken a public sense of duty.
 To this sense the commission appeals in 50 pages devoted to "out-side cooperation" ;" To the impoverished rural schools wom- ans clubs have already contrib uted pictures, books and music 90 granges have undertaken to secure township, high or central ized schools, and IA have school visiting committees; business organizations have begun to work; the efforts of public li brarians in widely scattered To- calities have been valuable, and medical and dental organizations hve given talks, promoted ath- letics and secured medical eX- animation.
 The new Ohio law, based upon the investigation, is described as a model by the United States bu- reau of education. It prescribes a minimum monthly salary of $40 to teachers and denies state aid to districts which pay less
 than S45 to teachers with six
 weeks professional training,
 $55 to those with two years, or $70 to high school teachers.- Memphis News Scimitar.

 We reached Key West at the end of journey of almost three days and over twelve hundred miles. We were most kindly re- ceiyed. Three of the pastors of the city and many of the mem bers of the church and of the people generally met us at the train. We were taken at once to the parsonage, which had been thoroughly renovated and newly furnished and were there made to feel very much at home.
 We are delighted with Flori- da in general and Key West in particular. The people are geni- al, and friendly. In this re spect they are not unlike our good friends in Brinkley.

 Key West is a city of about 30,000 population. The chief in- dustry is the manufacture of ci- ears. The tobacco is brought from Cuba. It is only about 75 miles to Havana, and we are far ther than that from the main land of Florida, the island of Key West being reached by the Over-Sea Railway of the Flori- da East Coast Line. The city of Key West is situated on an island surrounded b ythe Allan tic Ocean on the East and the Gulf of Mexico on the south and west. The island is about two miles wide by six miles long, and about one-third of it is covered by the city. There are great steamships passing daily to and

Giving The Nations Patrimony

N y
 The success of Frederick Wey- crhauser, whose fortune is es- tilnated at $1,500,000,000, is credited to his German thrift. It consists mainly of 40,000,0O0' acres of forest and the sugges- tion has been made that there should be some form of partial restitution of the public domain.
 The timber lands cornered by this man will be of far greater value as time goes on. In future years they will be of almost in- estimable value. This colossal fortune represents as none other ever has or can the operation of old world thrift under laws which have taken little account of the claim of the people as a whole to the great generous nat ural resources of a continent.
 There ought to be some fair and legal ground for contesting the right of any man in a dem ocracy to appropriate to private ownership or to perpetuate in his heirs so vast a share of the standing timber once the rich in- heritance of a nation.
 Poverty and want ought not to exist and public education not appeal in vain for endowment in 3 country so richly endowed by nature. We have sacrificed too much of the social conscience in the encouragement of individu- al initiative. The halt has been called a little late. We have been too prodigal of our patri- mony.-Oklahoma City Times.

Newport Wins From Tuckerman

Newport Wins From Tuckerman In one o f the hardest fought games of the season the New port High School team defeated the Tuckerman City team 12 to 10 Saturday at Tuckerman.
 The Tuckerman team was sore at the defeat handed them by the Newport High school team two weeks ago and were determined to win one way or another. Neither pitcher show ed up we'll until the seventh in ming when the score was 8 to , in favor of Tuckerman, but the Newport team settled down and batted in run on a base on balls to McMinn and a three base hit by Wise. Then Finley settled down and held Tuckerman help less for their half of the seventh to start the eighth.
 Mcdonald and Bevans singled to center and Hirsch came through with a scorching three bagger to left field scoring Me- Donald and Bevans and tying the score 8 to 8. The game then developed into a pitchers battle between Finley and Skinner end neither side scored until the 18th inning when Newport came to bat; Wise singled to left and Stallings doubled to right, Umsted walked with the bases loaded. Beyans hit to the cen- ter field fence for three boys, and Wise, Stallings and Um- sted all paraded home and Um- Donald next slammed hit to center and BeVans scored with the fourth run of the inning and the rest had hollered so much that they didn't try to hit the ball, so Tuckerman came to bat for their half of the 18th. The first man up beat out an infeld hit and Roberts then hit for a home run, making their total 10, but Newport soon tired of this and Wise and Finley took care of the next three in order. Fin ley struck out the hard hitting Richardson for the 3rd out, Newport winning score 12 to 10.
 There wasn't much harmony in the game as the umpire had 9 bet on Tuckerman, and anoth- CT reason why is that any mem Der on the Newport club has forgotten more baseball than Dick" the umpire will ever know.
 The Newport team batted hard all during the game, every member of the team getting one or more hits. Tuckerman punched their hits in 3 innings.

HARDNESS OF WATER.
Solid Streams at High Velocity Are -
Rioid az Iron.

In the American Magazine a contrib
utor gives a most interesting descrip-
ton Of the resisting power Of water.
He says that a solid stream Of water
shot out of q hose at tremendous We
locity Is Just as powerful and destruc-
tive as n rod of iron. An extract from
the article giving az idea OF the hard
ness and resisting power Of water fol-
lows:
Here Il fact which Is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much OF his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This Is what we
may call the hardness of the water
when boat is running Mt speed.
Water at fifty miles an hour Is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
battle In. III you put your arm over
board from hydroplane running at
fifty miles an hour and strike a wave
crest the probability Is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking 1t Is like striking so much
metal
I'm the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream of water under
enormous head Is used to wash down
hilsides. a swordsman. i'm attempting
to cut into one of these streams. will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream Is
like bar OF iron. The fact that water
at relative speed is so hard-or that its
inertia Is so great, to be little more
accurate-is the reason why a skipping
stone travels over the surface and Is
the reason why hydroplane boat
slides over the surface instead of plow-
ing its way through.
THE picture we must have in our
minds. then. Of speed boat is that she
Is travelling not in water. AS we or
dlnarily understand 1t. but over the
surface of a semisolid. very much as
sled travels over snow"
