LAWS SEEMED 70 C0NH
Act OF t9f, However, EXCLUDED
ton County and Therefore DidN
Repeal the Act OF 1909.
Little Rock

Little ROCK
A somewhat peculiar condition ex-
lists in Benton County with reference
to the compulsory education laws, and
the people have been in quandary
whether they are subject to them or
not.
In 1909 the Legislature enacted a
law which compels parents and guar
dams to send their minor children to
chool under certain conditions. A
number of counties was exempted.
but Benton County was included, so
that the law applied to that county.
The Legislature of 1911 passed an
other compulsory educational bill,
General In terms. excluding from its
provisions certain counties of which
Benton was one.
Untangling the tangle for County
Superintendent w. r. Edwards OF
Benton County. Attorney General
Moose says;
ut seems clear to me that the
later act, by excluding Benton Coun-
ty from its provisions, did not affect
the former act in any way. The two
acts. while they have the same pur-
pose In view. are not identical by any
means. 1t may be supposed that the
people Of Benton County preferred the
former act under which they were
operating at the time the later act
was passed, and for that reason pro-
rurod tho oynmNtiOp Nf Ponfop CouD-
ty from the provisions Of the act of
1911. If Benton County had not been
excluded from the provisions of the
last act then the last act would have
necessarily repealed the first. But
the last act excluded Benton County
specifically, thereby leaving the act
OF 1909 in full force and effect"

trists. q
People having defective eyes pro-
cure glasses with little If any thought
as to the safest man to consult. This
is dangerous, as poor eyes may easily
become blind eyes, and good judg-
ment should prompt consultation with
an expert eye-sight specialist.
Wayne Arnold is one Of the best
known.
No one asks why optometrists al
ways yaunt their ability and never a
word about quality of their glasses.
Easily explained.
Mayne Arnold has finer glasses
than can be found. He imports them
from London.
Among all other OptometriSts one
has just the same glasses as another.
They all buy at mail order houses
and the astonishing prices they get
are necessary, because they order
glasses one pair at time.
You see that is buying at retail and
when sold again the price must be
high to yield profit.
There are people who consult an
extremely high priced man, thinking
he must be good because he charges
so much. Very silly, indeed. Do
extortionate prices show knowledge
or greed, which?
To conclude: The Mayne Arnold
Optical Co. purchases finest goods,
from largest and best factories in
large quantities. for cash, and can
sell at half what others charge and
then make a moderate profit.

This Afternoon.

Mahaska county Sunday schools are
gathered in OskalOosa today for the
annual rally day program. The day
was successful in its varied features.
Much good has been done for the
cause and the management has ample
compensation in the accomplishments
of the day. The rally in several re-
spects was superior to that of pre-
vious years and the departments more
successful. Protiting in the exper-
fence of former rallies, officials plin-
ned a more comprehensiv program in
which the interests of all diviions
wee cared for and all contributed to
the success of the rally as a whole.

program was taken up about 1:30

ternoon service with a special concert.
The boys and girls division, under
the direction of Mr.. Lloyd Thomas,
Penn College football coach, assisted
by Roy Anderson, conducted a Sun
day school field day in which the
schools of the county met in athletic
competition. This was a most sue
cessful feature and entertained the
young folks. Miss Lillian Newton, so

New Sharon schools were not rep
resented on account of the bereaye-
ment OF two homes in that city.
Fremont schools were not largely

ion not to have a special train this
year.
Numerous schools were present
from distant parts OF the county,
however. one of the more remote ones
being from Tioga. The automobile
works wonders and brings many
where few years ago such show
ing would have been impossible.
Lacey and Leighton were both
splendidly represented and the Sun
day schools of Beacon were promin.
