For Better Rural Schools.

The general assembly, at its last ses-
sion, put a law on the statute books
which makes it possible iouural com
munities to quite easily adopt the con-
solidated school system. Any commun-
i,y having an aera Of at least 10 square
miles. or an enumeration OF at least 200
children, may form a consolidated
school and provide for the transport
alton Of the children to and from scnool
Or it can leave the elementary schools
as they are and maintain central
school for high school purposes, says a
school teacher in the Missouri Ruralist
The state will aid such school to the
amount OF $500 annually, provided
three easy conditions are met: /. Ade-
quate buildings must be provided; D..
A two year high school must be main
tanned; 3. One'year Of approved work
in agriculture must be offered.
Thus the children can receive an
education and stay at home at the
same time. 1t is a serious matter to
send boys and girls away from home 10
school, where they will be out Of the
watchiul care Of father and mother
The country people have been met on
halfway ground by the state. 1t is up
to them whether they have better
schools or not.

prudence aud of common sense. It is
not far from a dream Ci madness to
charge conspiracies, among business
interests, toward suppression Of in

means Of discrediting any Of the expert

they are experiments, and vital tx
periments, no opinion worth consider

other country in the world to make, 50

however, that the advocates Of making
still another experiment have elabor-
ated the old free trade idea and have
introduced into the new law some tea
lures relating to rebates on import
ations in America ship bottoms, pre-
ierntial rates under reciprocity agree

for ascertainment of import values un-
der ad valorum schedules, which they
expect will obviate old difficulties and
remove old dangers. They have, toe,

a new practice is offered for applying

Bankers Quit RAILWAYS.

The voluntary Withdrawal Of the
different members of the firm Of J. P
Morgan & Co, from the directorate of
thirty large corporations banking, rail
way and industrial, together with the
announcement that other designations
are to come soon indicate a ch1nge in
relations which may mean much TO the
country. In statement from his Of
fcc, Mr.. Morgan gives two reasons for
The wj;hd;a@!: O.e is that attendance
on the meetings Of the various boards
OF directors has been a serious burden
on the time Of the bankers; the other
is Difference to a changed public senti
ment on the subject # dGectorships.
Ii is likely that the action Of Morgan
& Co. will be followed by other great
investment bankers who have been
conspicuous in the financing Of railway
companies.
In few cases has the numerical rep
resen,ation of bankers on electorate
been large. But their influence has
been out Of all proportion 10 their
number, for when one supplies the
sinews Of war his voice commands
special respect. In determining the
renumtrlton for the sale OF securities
this influence has often been 10 the
disadvantage Of the stockholders. In
directing the purchase Of supplies it
has often been exeried In favor Of con
Germs in which the bankers have inter
est. This has placed the directors on
both sides Of transaction, a practice
which deserves the odlum that the
uublic has teen so vocllerous|y heap
ing upon it. The first explanation as
signed by Mr. Morgan is also good.
No mon can properly discharge the
duties of director for a large number Of
corporations. 1t is not likely that the
bankers did devote the attention re-
quired by the interest Of stockholders
Their services were chiefly exerted in
the interest of security holders and Of
concerns from which purchases were
made.
It has long been charged that there
was such a community OF interest
among this class Of investment bank
ers as to practically eliminate a COM
petitive security market. II other great
investment bankers follow the example
Of Morgan & Co. which may be pre-
dicted with some confidence, compe,

New Year Experiments.

This is 10 be, for the United States,
a yesr'ofTFBsriment. The change in
law preliminary to the making Of the
two greatest experiments we shall un-
dertake during 1914 has already been
made. The tariff experiment began in
October, in large part but raw wool did
not go on the free list until yesterday
and the heavy reduction in the sugar
tariff will not become effective for Two
or three months more. The short peri
cd in 1918 during which the new rates
in manufactured goods were operative
did not serve to show what will be the
volume OF importations in such lines.
There is delay arising out of foreign
protest against inspection Of importers
books to prove importers valuations on
goods imported ad valorem. Aside
from this, much Of such importations
will be carried in slow ireighters.
Practically, the movement of foreign
manufactured goods into this market
can not be said 10 have yet shown what
its proportions are to be. The other
great experiment now under way, rev
olutionizing the system Of banking and
currency, can not even be inaugurated
until we'll in the spring. And so 1914
is to be the first year Of experimenting
with the new laws Of 1918.
As to the first Of these experiments
it must still be said that it is rot new,
that it has been tried on several prsvi
Gus occasions, and has always been
reversed by the country, at the FIST
opportunity, because unproductive Of
desired results. Il remains to be said

VAN BUREN TO SHIP
 FIRST BERRIES FRIDAY
FROST KILLED ONE-FOURTH OF CROP, BUT QUALITY OF
 FRUIT IS GOOD.

Van Buren, April 29.-The first strawberries, grown in this city will be placed on the market by Friday or Saturday, according to estimates of local fruit men, who are preparing to handle the initial shipments from this city. Offices have been opened by the Van Buren Fruit Growers Associa- tion and the Ozark Fruit Growers Association, preparatory to handling the first express shipments of berries from this section.
 During this week strawberries in small quantities have been on the To- cal markets and many of the farmers have been enjoying home grown ber- rles for the past several days. The first crates, however, will not be brought to the local market until Fri day or Saturday. There is a large acreage of berries this year, although the frost killed about 25 per cent. Van Buren will ship about 75 cars of Der, ries, which should yield nearly $5O,- 900 to the growers. The present price Is not expected to hold up after the Arkansas berries reach the mar ket
 Ahe doaii'y ol ioSdl peITleS, JuuS- ing from the early offerings, will be exceptionally good. The frost in kill ing one-fourth of the crop, has weeded out the scrubs or culls and for that reason a good price is expected. There will hardly be enough peaches from local orchards this summer for local consumption. While many trees have a good stand, it is predicted that over 50 per cent will drop off the trees dur ing June. There will be twice as many cars of cantaloupes grown in this county as last year.
