SEEK PIANIsTs BODY IN RIVER
Godowsky May Have Drowned-No
Clues to His Trail

Harbor police of New York are search
ing the North and East rivers today for
the body of Leopold Godowsky famous
pianist and former Philadelphia, who
has been missing since last Friday. on the
theory that he may have drowned.
So far none of the attempts of the
police to find Godowsky have led any
where. Not a clue to his trail has been
found, and apparently every source of
information has been pumped dry.
Some friends of the pianist still cling to
the theory that he has secluded himself
to finish his work. The argument against
this Is that he would not subject his wife
to worry, but in answer to this his as
sociates say that he may have written

OUR REPLY

In the beginning of his article MT. Patterson gives as his first reason why Jelks should have school the following: She has double the required number of scholastic age, that is, 69 people who are between the ages of six and twenty-one years. This we doubt, but will not contradict and will grant for argument sake that he is correct, but let us see if it is better for all parties con- cerned, so far as educational in- terests go, to establish a school for every community or section that has the required number of pupils.
 The town of McCrory is one mile square. In the southern half of the town there are enough people of scholastic age to meet the requirements of law, so far as establishing a school is con- cerned, and likewise prevails the same condition in the northern half of the town. Which now would be the best, to have two

 bought Jelks when it was the toughest place possibly, in the county. Only a rendezvous for your toughs, crap-shooters and bllnd-tigers both black and white. Today your cows, sheep, goats and stock of every kind quench their thirst in Cache River and graze on the abundance of grass in our neighborhood; not one is harmed or hurt, but are cared for as our neighbours OK. (But we do think you ought to clean up your town so our hogs can't smell 1t or stop locking them up when they come to see you.)
 Today Jelks is the playground of your most elegant ladies, of which you have many, and your children, and of your cleanest and best manhood as we'll as those of surrounding neighbor- hoods. And their visits are like angel wings which will fan away all prejudice toward our town and cause you to retract and re- pent and abandon your spirit of Pharoahism and give us our free dom regardless of the demand of commercialism.

 Why should not Jelks have a school? Our sister town, Grays, is willing; the directors of the Augusta school with whom l have discussed the question seem to think that they will concede us the two sections which come with in one-half mile of us and are in- conveniently situated to be cared for by the Augusta school which is seven miles away.

 We have thrown every penny of tax and furnished every as- sistance that we could in helping McCrory build a $10,OO0.00 school-house. We owe $1, 900. % on it. Not you, but we, own it.
 We have a little more than $5, 900. co to the credit of the dis trict from the taxes of last year. We can pay every obligation to teachers under contract this year, pay the $1, 0O0. co indebted ness on the school and yet give the "Jelks" district the taxes which belong to it.

 MT. Wherry, one of the direc7 tors, who is circulating a remon- strance, refers to this effort as a one man fight. He possibly means that my personal enemies are making a fight on one man. He also refers to it as selishness; 1 will not use the word selfish, but to him 1~must say "Soohey!"
 No one is more proud of the McCrory school building than 1.

Jelks, Arkansas,

O0PC. To, I01C. Editor McCrory Home News, Dear Sir
 Why should Jelks have a school?
 Because she has double the scholastic population required by the Statues of Arkansas as guaranteed to her under the con- stitution of the state; because she has the right to local self government as guaranteed under the Declaration of Independence; because it is a natural result of progress nothing unusual about it as Jelks is the only town of it's size in the county or in the state that has not a school. Riverside, Gregory, Wiville, Howell, Grays, DeView, Morton, Meredith, lille man, all have schools. Not one is really a larger town or has more property within as small a radius and possibly one or two of them only have as large scholas- tic population in the same radius.
 There are sixty-nine white children of school age within the proposed district; sixty of them within a half-mile radius; none of them within two miles of the McCrory hool-house.
 Every white citizen in the pro- posed district has humbly peti- toned the County Court. The laws have provided that the County Court shall hear and
