The Pine Bluff papers have not, as
 yet, become yellow. But they will. Due to a shortage of Prussian blue dye, manufacturers are unable to pro- vide news paper except in it's natural Itint-yellow. Hence, many of the big papers are now yellow, and it is only a question of time when the Pine Bluff papers will have the same hue.

Gone of the things taught us early in life was that a gentleman would not contradict a lady. We have tried to adhere to this mark of gentility, and, shall not ignore it in this in to maintain the accuracy of The Graphics statement: "It is under stood some of the members desired to endorse Walter H. Deaver." Noth-
 ing has been submitted to signify that the statement was not accurate. In order to prove that "some mem bers" were not of the desire to en- dorse MT. Denver, it is only necessary to poll the membership as to their desires, and thus really settle the controversy" The ladies discuss one phase of a situation; The Graphic discusses another. As it is, the ladies are without cause of action or griev- ance, for in it's issue of January 15, The Graphic stated "the association also adopted by unanimous vote a resolution, urging the election of MT. T. M. Hooker" to succeed Harry Hanf. The Graphic has never stated that MT. Deaver's name was
 proposed at the meeting, nor that he
 was considered by the six members of the committee. However, the in- ference to be drawn from the state
 ment that Walter Deaver was not considered nor mentioned in the as- sociation as candidate for that of- flee" is that MT. Beavers name was
 mentioned in the association in sCme | connection. It may be permissible | to ask; If the association desired only to insure the election of a man who would serve the best interests
 of the schools and the children, why did it not recommend two or more good men instead of one good man: As to the intimation that The Graphic
 does not always practice its own preaching" we confess there is some
 virtue in the charge. It is also true
 that sometimes we do not print all i the facts, and on some occasions we
 have ignored entirely very gooc
 news stories. But each time the rule
 has been violated, 8 mother, or wife, or sister has been saved g
 blush of shame and heart-ache. In
 solar as the incident under discus sion is concerned, The Graphic
 sought to practice it's own preach
 ing" It.was not wrong to say some
 members desired to endorse" MT
 Deaver, because that was true, though
 those who, felt SO disposed may not
 have voiced their desires at the meet
 ing at which action was taken on the
 committees suggestion; it was moi
 unkind, on the contrary it was kind
 ness to give credit where credit was
 due; and this being true, it was en- 1 tirely just.-Ed0

Letters From People.
THE DEAYER INCIDENT.

We, the undersigned. by virtue of authority given us, desire to correct an inference made, in recent issue of The Graphic, and settle the oontro- versy that has grown out of it, with reference: to the associations candi- date to fill the vacancy in the school board. Walter Deaver was not con sidered nor mentioned in the associa- tion as a candidate for that office
 The article as a whole, intentional ly or otherwise. gave perverted meaning to the intention of the "as- sociation" and put their good inten- tions into the line of petty politics, above and out of which the associa- tion hopes to keep. It would seem better for public organ to practice it's own preaching, as per a recent editorial, (and not quote street gos- sip), "In the first place ask yourself. it is right, Is it true. is it kind, is 1t just? s,

Stradal to the Trego Center school.
Miss Minnie Folkers, the Standard
teacher of the Benisch school of dis
trict 81, has had the most regular at
tendance in the county during the
past two months. Her school so far
has escaped the epidemic of mumps,
measles and diptheria from which ali
other schools have suffered so much
this year. County Superintendent,
Miss Stradal, visited our school this
week. She pronounced it one of the
prospect standard schools of the
county. with very few additional
improvements our school will be en-
titled TO the plate from the state

buildings equipped and kept as the
state authorities say.

| them.
Maps and sandtable are needed
Your books are very good for school
| library. You should have a few
more but we will accept what you
have for this year if you will add ten
TO twenty for next year.
A good new teachers desk is need
ed.
If you do not have such, some clos
ed receptacle is necessary for drink
in water. A drinking fountain is
very desirable in order to do away
with pTomiscuous use of cups. In
securing one you should exercise care
to obtain one that can be completely
emptied and cleaned. The bubbler or
fountain part, should be of such a
nature that only the stream and not
the cup itself can reach the mouth.
Be sure also that the waste recep-
tacle is large enough to catch the
overflow.
Closed shelves are very desirable for
dinner pals for the sake of general
tidiness.
The old house should be removed
from the grounds as soon as possible
A big scraper is needed at the door,
Toilets need hinged covers that fall
of their own accord and entrance
shields and must be kept clean.
Well painted outbuildings add
greatly 70 the general appearance of
school property. l would suggest
that these be made to harmonic
with house, also rather than to paint
with barn red or similar color.
A bulletin will be sent out soon
explaining all the requirements for
standardization in detail
Should your stove smoke any more
after you correct what seems to be
the trouble, you should write the
agent or general manager. We have
found them willing and anxious TO
advise in case of difficulty
l congratulate you most heartily on
your excellent showing and i trust
that you will wish TO meet the ad-
ditional requirements at once. AS
soon as this is done and your county
superintendent can assure me that
they are satisfactory, we shall be
most glad to recognize yours as a
Standard School, thing of which
to be proud. In this event, we hope
yoa will make the occasion of Install
ing the plate gala day and that it
may be worth while TO preserve the
same for future reference.
