This decision was unsatisfactory because it settled none of the legal questions involved in the suit, and attorneys for the association imme- diately filed request with the court asking reconsideration of

 The court sustained the chancery

 no specific appropriation was nec- essary to legalize the drawing of warrants on this fund.

 Music as factor in education Was discussed by number of teachers, led by c. B. Justice All agreed that music has it's place in school work, more as a means than an end. It will inspire youth with new energy and possess him with higher ideals. Its power in dis, cipline was conceded to be great and it's hygienic value estimated highly.
 The relative value of mental and written work was presented oy C.. D. Morrice and discussed by sey- eral teachers. It was contende that too much written work is re- quired and that memory is not giv- en the training 1t should receive in many of our schools.

 Teachers as leaders in social and political affairs was presented by w. A. Stevenson. Teachers should stand for something and should lead in educational matters. Sever al much needed reforms would have long ago been accomplished if all teachers had the courage of their convictions and would not consent to be mere followers in- stead of leaders.
 Present day education was the subject of talk by c. E. Rich ardson. Fifty years ago teachers dealt only with the mind. All eff forts of the school room were fo- cused on the intellect. Now we have to deal with manners, morals, physical being, and vocational training of youth. Parents have transferred to the teacher the chief business of bringing up their chil- dren. The state expects us to turn out good and loyal citizens. Our work is required to be general and all-comprehensive; and yet so thorough and special as to fit one for fierce competition in a thou

Ditch Taxes Raised.

At meeting of the commission CTS of the Central Clay drainage the tax levy in that district was raised one per cent. The rate for previous years has been four and one-half per cent. The levy this year was raised by the board to five and one-half per cent. The total taxes for 1914 amounted to $31,293.17. The raise of taxes from four and one-half to the increased rate will give the commissioners a better working fund on which to draw in paying the interest on the bonds.-Piggott Banner.

ALDERMAN AIRES
 QUITS PARACOULD
Well Known Citizen Decides to To- cate in Drumwright, Okla
 Family Leaves Tomorrow.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press)

(From Tuesdays Daily Press)
 A. E. Ayres, one of the alder men from the first ward, for years contracting painter and paper hanger in Paragould, and one of the best known citizens of this place, has decided to locate in Drumwright, Okla, a city of about fifteen thousand population. MT. Ayres, w. T. Watts and Claud Jones, the latter two contracting carpenters, left Paragould two weeks ago for Oilton and other points in Oklahoma on pros- pecting trip, and it is understood they found conditions so favorable to their line of work that they will all probably locate either at Oilton OF Drumwright. At least MT. Ayres has so decided and notified his wife several days ago to dis pose of the household effects and join him at Drumwright. Mrs. Ayres this morning stated she had rented their home on Kings High way to Charley Long and that she and the children would leave to- morrow for their new home in Ok lahoma.
 The removal of MT. Ayres from the city will create vacancy in the representation of the first ward in the city council. At the recent municipal election A. W. Fligor was elected to succeed J. A. Ed wards whose term expired, and MT. Ayres was elected to fill the unex- pired term of J. T. Agee who re- signed. Under the law in this state when vacancy occurs in the membership of the city council six months prior to the time of the next regular election, it shall be the duty of the council to call a Under this section of the statute it is expected that as soon as MT. Ayres send in his resignation the council will call special election.
 It is not known who will aspire to the position. The successful can didate would hold until the second Monday night in April, 1916, un- less elected for the full term of two years which begins on that date c. M. Jones, a we'll known build ing contractor who was defeated by Mir. Ayres by only few votes. has been mentioned as the logical suc- cessor to MT. Ayres. The name of P. F. House who has served on the council the major portion of the past sixteen years has also been suggested. Inasmuch as the salary is small and the responsibility great it is not expected there will be much of scrimmage for the place. On the contrary 1t is prob able the voters will have to "call" out candidate and shove him in- to the running.

FAMOUS PICTURE HERE.
et'' on Exhibition at The Mills
Stores Company's Establishment.

On exhibition for a short time on
the fourth floor of the Mills Stores
Companys building is large painting
by the noted French artist Herbert de
Moreau. 1t is called Christ on DIV
ct" and depicts the Savior on the
Mount of olives weeping over Jeru-
salem.
The solitary figure which occupies
the foreground. is flung face down
ward on a rock, in all the agony of
passionate grief for those in the town
below, who have spurned his love, his
teaching, and his warnings and who,
as he knows, are hurrying on to a GER
tain doom.
1t is the evening hour, the town in
the valley below is already wrapt in
Sombre shadow, but the surrounding
hills, the clouds, the sky, and even the
figure, are all aglow with the light of
the setting sun. Moreau excelled in
the painting of freight and sunlight
effects and his work in this picture is
exceedingly fine.
Another interesting feature of the
picture is the good composition-the
arrangement of the trees, the masses
of rock, and of the upward sweeping
lines of the clouds.
Herbert de Moreau was born in
Cannes, France, and died al Lyons,
France in 1893 at the age of thirty
four years. Like many artists his gem
ius was little recognized during his
lifetime. He died in poverty and left
his widow a legacy of debt. After sonee
parleying, the widow succeeded in
selling this. his last work, to NJ. Doub-
cite of Paris for $500 Doubette en-
tered the painting at the Grand Salon
where it received a bronze medal and
sold for $4,000. 1t has changed hands
five times since. each time the price
increasing. Moreau was also the
painter of the world famous "Village

ONE ON UNCLE SAM
State Treasurer Calls Down the Fed
eraI Officials at the
National Capital.

When the federal government in
sists that Kansas public officials OBJ
serve technical rules, the federal treas
ury department must itself expect to
obey. That is the decision of Earl
AkerS, state treasurer, who today
called the attention of the government
treasury department to a few of its
shortcomings.
On several occasions government
officials in Washington have displayed
tendency to find technical faults
with the warrants signed or endorsed
by Kansas officials. On one occasion
a warrant sent to the state by the fed
eral government was endorsed by Geo
H. Hodges, then governor. Hodges
endorsed the warrant by spelling his
full name. 1t wasn't his official sigma
ture and the government held up the
warrant until a correction was made.
Several similar incidents have &C.
CURED.
This morning, though. there was the
sweet joy of revenge among state
treasury department employees. A
warrant drawn on the state treasury
in favor of the federal government
came back endorsed with a rubber
stamp. Wiley Cook, assistant treasur-
er, saw the stamp endorsement. He
called the attention of Akers to the
matter. Then the warrant was sent
back to Washington with a nicely
worded letter that the state just
couldn't accept warrants endorsed
with a rubber stamp, don't you know.
Maybe they will understand when
that letter gets to Washington.
