has had the effect of stimulating in a
large measure the interest in educa-
ton not only In Alabama but in her
sister states. 1t is an outgrowth of
the reports of the Russell Sage Found
alton, which placed Alabama at the
bottom of the roll of states as regards
illiteraey. The south as a section Is
regarded by many as containing a large
percentage of illiterates. The move

until the stigma is removed from the
south.

A SHORT SKETCH
OF JUDSON COLLEGE
BY PAUL BOMAR
President JudsOn College

Judson college was founded as JUL
son Female institute In 1888, althoug h
it's doors were not opened until Janu-
airy 7. 1889, the same day upon which
Wesleyan college. Macon, Ga, opened
its doors The first session lasted until
August and tho second session began in
September the same year. The session,
therefore, which begins September Is,
1915, is the seventy eighth annual ses-
sion, for the Judson never closed its
doors even during the period of the
war. During this period DR.. Noah X.
Davis, afterward the celebrated pro-
fessor of philosophy of the University
of Virginia, and the author of m<nS
textbooks. and also the Life of Christ,
was the president. An old oak tree on
the campus is called the Confederat tie
oak, for here the Judson girls pre-
sented a flag to a company going to the
war.
The first President of Judson was
Milo p. Jewett afterward the presi-
dent of Vassar college, the first real cell
lege for women in America. 1t was DR..
Jewett who persuaded Mr.. Vassar to
give the money to found Vassar col
lege. He was president of Judson col :
lege until 1855, when he was succeeded
by DR.. S. S. Sherman, who died in Chi
cago last November at the ripe age of
80 years. DR. sherman will always he
gratefully remembered as the man who
befriended many Confederate prisoners
during the war. When he returned to
Marion after the war the citizens gave
him great reception and banquet
DR.. Robert G. Patrick, the president
from 1896 to 1913, will be known as the
founder of the great Judson There was
only the one large main building when
he became president, part of his work
was to build another dormitory then
the Alumnae auditorium, CarnaSie
library and presidents home were
erected under his leadership. There
were also purchased many acres Of

Of miles farther from the people of the
southland.
The preparatory schools of the south
are too numerous for tabulation, but they
measure up to the standards of the oldest
schools in the United States. Denomina-
tlonal schools we have in plenty.
If it is desired to instruct the almost
grown" boys and girls in arts, there is

and the Southern School of Musical Art,
which is affiliated with Howard college,

Music, the Farrar School of Voice and

academy at Gainesville. Ca and the Ten

Facilities for Girls
The facilities for the education of girls
are as good in the south as in any Sec
ton of the nation. The Judson college at
Marion is one of the best schools for girls
in the south. 1t is a Baptist institution
and is supported by the Baptist denomi-
nation. The Noble Institute for Girls at
Admission ranks among the best and the
Athens College for Girls is another of
high order. Most of the larger schools
in the asouth now are co-eduactonal in
stitutions, notable among those that have
admitted ladies to certain departments
being Vanderbilt. the A. L. l., the Uni
versity of Alabama and the University of
Georgia. Many denominational Schools

every year.
There are institutes for the deaf and

SHOULD STOCK BE KEPT OFF OF
 THE STREETS?

There is considerable talk of an ordinance prohibiting stock run ming at large in the corporate limits of Green Forest. This is a question which interests every citizen, though some have an ar gument on one side and some on the other. On Monday night, March 15, at a mass meeting at the Majestic theatre candidates will be nominated for Aldermen and Mayor, and at this meeting will be the time to take up this question on stock ordinance, so if you are interested come out and have your say both as to the nomination of our city officers for the next year, and the stock ordinance.

EMPLOYES SALARIES 5
 ARE HARD HIT
NEW LAW REQUIRES ALL FEES BE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE
 STATE TREASURER

A long established custom m which insured the payment of the salaries of the officers and employees at the state capitol in cash when warrents are at a dis count has been abolished by the enactment of the recent law re- quiring that all money due the state shall be paid directly into the state treasury.
 Heretofore fees collected by several of the departments were paid into the state treasury at convenient times, with the check of the head department, who would cash the warrents for salaries as soon as the check was deposited. By this method all the salaries were paid in cash. The salaries of the state officials and employees were paid in this manner for the month on Febru- ary 27.
 The act requiring that all moneys shall be paid into the state treasury was introduced in the Senate by the Budget Committee and became effective March 1. From now on the war rents of the officers and employees will be on the same footing as other warrants, if there should be no money in the treasury to the credit of the general reve- nue fund, the holders will be compelled to discount them or to hold them until there is money in the treasury to take them up. The departments which receive fees are the secretry of state, attorney general for inheritance tax, the state land office and the state auditor for insuranre tax and fees. During the year end ing October 31, 1914, the aggre- gate amount paid into the treas ury by these officials was about $147,0

 DIVIDENDS DIVIDED
THE MAgL ORDER HOUSE GETS THE PROFIT THAT RIGHTLY
 BELONGS TO HOME HAN

One of the best thing we have seen on the injustice of the mail order business is the following from the Lawrence, Kansas, Journal:
 No wonder the great mail order house can divide a $20,- 100000 dividend. They pay taxes upon a comparatively small quan- tity of stock carried at the points of distribution and do not pay one cent towards building bridges and roads, towards keeping up schools, or lighting the streets of the thousands of communities from which they draw trade. Neither do they extend cent of credit to the man out of work, nor make a hurry up delivery of ten cents worth of groceries in time for dinner. The service which requires expense is de- manded of the home merchant and the mail order man escapes with simple exchange of mer- chandise for money with no &C., commodations thrown in."
 It is plain that if the house. wife demanded no better service, asked for no more favors at the hands of the home merchants than she is content to accept from the mail order houses the home merchant could and would make quite as good prices on his wares as are quoted in the mail order catalogues.
 The mail order sinan pays no local taxes, contributes to no charity, helps build or maintain
 
 no church or school or hospital, gives nothing to the building of good roads or to the lighting of the city streets; in fact, is inter- ested in nothing of a local nature except to take his profits and render the minimum service that the customer will stand fer.
 What "gets>,' us is that any body, anywhere, should feel it to his CT her interest to pass up the home merchants in order to put money in the coffers of the mail-order merchant, way off wonder.

TO THE MAN WHO MAKES
 BUSINESS OF FARMlNG

Are you ever puzzled to know just how to do things? Are you sure you are raising just the crops that are best suited to your soil and climate? Ar e your yields as big as it is possible to make them? Are your methods of farming all that can be de- sired? These are a few of the many questions that arise to per plex the progressive farmer of today.
 Farming is the most complex
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-03-12

of all professions. A doctor can
 be specialist in some branch of
 medicine, a lawyer is a specialist in legal matters, a banker is a specialist in financial affairs, but a farmer must know about
 horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and all other kinds of live stock. He must understand soils and all the various crops grown upon soils. In order to systematic his farm. and market his produce profitablyshe. must be familiar with business methods. If his crops are attacked by insects or
 disease he must know how to combat them. If his stock gets sick he must know what to do before the veterinarian comes. 1t IS obviously impossible for one man to learn all there is to be know about each and every phase in farm life. The Agricul- tural College, however, employs men whose business it is to be specialists in these various lines. These men are at the service of the farmers who want informa- tion and can be reached through A regular cor respondence course can be secured covering any of these subjects mentioned above and many others. These courses are free. The only cost will be the regular price of text books and a few cents for postage.

STAMPS FOR RETURN POSTAGE

To the Patrons of the Postofiice: I wish to call your attention to this fact, when ordering from your mail order catalogues, do not include your postage in the money order, or check, buy your stamps for return postage and inclose them with your order.
 In this connection 1 beg to state that this office depends on it's stamp sales to maintain free delivery at this office, and if the patrons will comply with the above request the office will ap- preciate it. Respectfully,
 JOHN A. BRIDGFoRD,
 Postmaster. Eureka Ssprings Daily Times Echo.
 Our advice would be, don't buy any money orders to send to mail order houses, take this money to your home merchant, tell him what you were thinking of ordering, what it will cost you and how much return post age you would enclose, offer him this money in advance and give him time to get the goods just as you would the mail order house and when he gets them for you, you will both feel better over the transaction.

 Similar debates, at the request of the Womens Suffrage League of Little Rock, are being held in all the schools of Arkansas.
 As will be seen from the line up, our third year high school class affirms, and the second year denies. It is needless to say that the question will be well and ably discussed, giving to the audience a feast of reas- on and a flow of soul''.
 An admission fee of ten cents will be charged for the benefit of the School Athletic Associa- tion. This association has a considerable amount of money to raise in order that Green For est may make a creditable show ing at the School Meet.
