Of Virginia are interested In getting
suffrage by the easiest and shortest
route, which they believe to be through
Federal amendment.
He replied that he had no personal
hostility to suffrage, a. he did not
fear its effects on women or on the
community, but that he hesitated to
invest the Federal government with
any power over the rights of a State
to settle for itself the question Of
suffrage. However, he said he would
either resign or vote In favor when
he was convinced that to represent
the people of his constituency he
ought to vote for the amendment. :.

A JOURNALISTIC EFFORT

Why are you trying to educate the

partment of the Interior. In north
western Alaska, who writes the leading
! article in this new magazine of the

The people who ask these ques-
tons. II they are really sincere enough
to warrant any consideration, can be
divided into two classes. First. those
who display their scientific knowledge
by quoting the law of The Survival Of

the Eskimo is not At to survive. The
second class claim a peculiar insight
Into the frame OF mind of the ancient
Eskimo, who. they assert. was an
especially contcnted individual. and
furthermore they insist that tho Es-
kimo Of today Is not contented. This
set OF critics insists on taking the po-
sition. indefensible In this day and
generation. that education " q bad

Will undoubtedly be developments in
mining. yet for long time to como
tho Eskimo will have plenty of room
in northern Alaska Therefore. even
II this northern part of Alaska,
through some unexpected develop
ment. should become desirable for a
large white population. we believe that
with what development the Eskimo
has already received. and the addi-
tional development that even Ave years
more of undisturbed possession of his
northern Businesses will give him, he
will be well fitted to meet advanced
economic conditions.
THE keynote of our school system
for the Eskimo Is it's direct relation to
the village life. Thus the school re-
public becomes the village council, the
school garden soon becomes the vii
lage garden. the cooking class becom es
the bread-baking class for the village.
the cleanup Of the school ground be-
comes the village cleanup. the bench
work for the boys class becomes the
boat and sled building center for the
village. And most striking Of all, the
school boy who Is sent to the reindeer
herd rs an apprentice. in four years
becomes the trained herder. the sup
bSa Soh " LIAM A0AfAkJs Ah0 - .

tirely humanitarian and Ia properly

a way as to make it pleasant for you to give
your children musical training. Here at
these factory warerooms you will find our
prices far below the prices asked for like
grade pianos elsewhere. Here our prices
are lower because of our location and be-
cause of the fact that we employ nos sales
men or agents, no collectors-all this use
less expense is done away with because it
adds nothing to the value Of the piano, but
is bound to be added to the selling price
of it. It can do you no harm to come IN
and look our stock over. There are many
fine makes from which to select. You win
not be urged to buy, and when you leave,
whether you buy or not, you will not have
a lot of agents trailing after you. Thou

THESE TRULY WONDER BEANS.

Little Rock, Sept 14-J. M. White, one of the progressive farmers of the county, residing near Ferndale, is demonstrating that there are other crops than cotton that yield real money.
 He planted eight acres this season in Kentucky Wonder beans, in four plantings, thea first June 23 and the last July >. He has been selling beans for three weeks, and last week sold $6O worth. Last Saturday he began selling from the last planting, and is still picking from the first. The beans are finding ready market at S3 bushel.
 Mir. White also had an acre of to- matoes, which he has been selling at $3.75 a bushel. The tomatoes were irrigated from spring, and during the worst part of the drouth the plants flourished.

NAVAL
 GUNNERS STILL
 BEST IN WORLD
In Broadside from Big Guns
 of Pennsylvania 5 Shells Hit Invisible Target.

Washington, Sept 14.-A new worlds long-distance record in nav al gunnery has been made by the new uper-dreadnaught Pennsylvania, the navy department announced to- night. The big battleship's twelve 14-inch rifles, mounted in four tur- rets, on simultaneous broadside, dis charged in a recent trial, registered five hits on a small target at a range of 10000 yards, or II land miles. At this distance the target was below the horizon and not visible to the Pennsylvania's gunners.
 Records of the highest scores ever made at the range have been exam ined by naval officers but none equal ling that of the Pennsylvania has been found. At this range in actual battle only the superstructure of the enemy ship would have been visible, and yet naval officers believe that the five hits of the Pennsylvania s first broadside, with their weight of 1000 pounds, would have been suffi- cient to have seriously damaged or disabled an enemy ship, even at such an extreme range.
 The Pennsylvania record is con- sidered as all the more remarkable because this was the first time the guns had been fired since they were mounted on the dreadnaughht when she was built at Newport News.

JUST THREE: MORE DAYS, AND THEN N.-
 SCHOOLS OPEN
Girls Happy, Boys Gloomy, But Attendance Be I1arg-
 CT, Just the Same.

Just three more days, and then school opens, in Pine Bluff.
 Fond parents-who have been school boys and girls themselves-well know that Monday morning, and thereafter on any day until spring.. this can happen in any of the local schools:
 Teacher asks: Johnny, can you tell me what hypocrte is?'
 And Johnny will reply: "Yas'm. It's boy what comes to school with smile on his face.'
 Nobody has ever been able to ex- plain why boys do not want to attend school, while their sisters apparently take the greatest sort of enjoyment in getting there early and regularly. Perhaps the closest explanation was that offered by the misogynist who said That's just another bluff of the female, like their appearance of en- joyment at wearing furs in summer"
 But whether Johnny likes it or not. Johnny will start his school work Monday, and it is Up to pa, ma and the teacher to see that Johnny not only keeps at it, but makes progress. Johnny will eventually come to feel that the exercises and lessons are a necessary evil, well worth the en- joyment of the ordinary school sports, but there Johnnys interest in the matter will end.
 Today and tomorrow, all the teach CTS in the public schools will be in their various rooms, ready to conduct whatever examinations are necessary and to issue lists of books that will be required during the year by the pupils. This will apply to the high school as we'll as to the grammar and primary schools. At the high school the teachers have met the various classes already this week, and every thing is in excellent shape for the start of the actual school work Mon day morning, at the schedule time. The school buildings and their con tents have all been thoroughly cleans ed and made sanitary, and all that IS necessary is for the boys and girls to be there when the bell rings for the work to start.
