THE CORD SCHOOL

We have the finest school at Cord You hardly ever knew, don't know just how many scholars, But teachers we have two. And they are sure fine ones, We think so anyway, They make us study hard, But give Us lots of time to play. They say we are awfully good, They don't have to give Us lickings, And we want to thank, Mr. Lindsey and Miss Pickens. As that is who our teachers are, That teach our village school, And if any one disobeys, To them they read the rule We have two nice large rooms, The incest you ever saw, The big folks go up stairs, And the small ones down below. We have nice new seats. Without single nail, To catch when we get up, And tare off our coat-tail. We had a little trouble, It will hardly do to tell, But all the people around Cord, Understands itpretty well. Some did not want the eighth grade
 taught, But we all thought it was fine. And thought that maybe next school, We would crawl on to nun Der nine. But that little trouble Is over, And we are very glad, We don't like to have school troubles And don't want our directors mad. We have two basket bail teams, And they are doing well, When We practice little more, We'll play some other teams q spell. We have our fine society, Every Friday afternoon, And great big entertainment, We are going to have real soon. So parents of all communities, If you want your children trained, Put them in Cord Public School, And everything will be explained

PRAISES RECORD
 OF MIR. OLDFlELD
Stone County Paper Says He Has Always Proven Faithful to The
 Interests of the People

The Stone County Record pays our friend Billie Oldfeld the fol- lowing very deserving compliment in a recent editorial in that paper.
 Hon. W. A 0ldfield, the popu- lar representative of this Congress sional District has a personal ac- quaintance with a large majority I of our people, and those who know him best are his closest friends and most ardent supporters.
 We have known Mr. Oldfeld since his early boyhood and have been intimately acquainted with his public record as a citizen, law yer, Prosecuting Attorney and rep reSentative in Congress, and say that we have never seen Oldfeld weighed in the balance and found wanting"
 The Second Congressional Dis trict has never suffered for lack of an able representative in Congress among whom we might mention the polished, scholarly Brecken- ridge, the loyal statesmanly Brun- didge. and others just as able and equally loyal, but search the cata- logue all the way, if you please, and, among them all, you will find none more loyal to duty than Mir Oldfeld. Congress has not been slow to recognize Mir. Oldfeld's s ability and as Chairman of the committee on patents he has won a nation wide reputation on ac- count of his investigation of abus- es of the patent laws, and his ad- yocacy of legislation intended to correct the same. In this particu- lar he has been criticised by such scientific publications as the Scien- tific American, and the criticisms intended to reflect adversely on MT. Oldfeld, only serves to place him where he Is always found the protector of the individual against the combinations.
 MT. Oldfeld keeps in close per sonal touch with conditions at home and he knows that the greatest hindrance to the develop ment of the South is our dirt roads or rather the absence of them. He believes that all available means should be used that the products of the farm, the source of all wealth, could be more easily and cheaply marketed, thereby leaving a profit in the pockets of the farm CT rather than to invest 1t in high power guns or costly projectiles; and one of his most cherished ann bitions is to see his Good Roads bill become a law. This bill pro- vides for federal cooperative aid in building public roads. MT. Old- field, raised on farm himself, knows the value of good roads, and also the disadvantage of bad ones; and he is, therefore one of the most ardent Good Roads ad- vocates in Congress.
 MT. Oldfeld is in full accord i with the Democratic platform and enjoys the acquaintance and con- fldence of President Wilson and the members of his cabinet and heads of departments, for Billie" was there when his. new friends came, and, as we have said before, this acquaintance fits MT. Oldfeld to be of vastly more service than
