years ago when he attained the age limit
and retired him with the honorable title
of dean emeritus. But Downey wouldn't
retire that easily. Rather than spend the
remainder Of his days surrounded with
the comforts of civilization and the felici-
ties of an honorable past, he packed up
and went to far away China to begin life
anew as an active instructor.

1t is not who administers the govern

but how it is administered.
AS a republican you will prefer to have
the administration in the hands of a re-
publican executive, and as democrat you
will, of course, choose a democrat-but
as an average citizen you are concerned
only with justice, fairness, efficiency,
strength and stability.
Party loyalty ceases to be a virtue when
it requires breaking with right and just

TEACHING NEATNEsS IN SCHOOLS

We hear interestingly encouraging re-
ports already about the new system of
checking up the personal habits Of the
school children which Recreational Direc-
tor Bachelor has introduced in the pub
lie schools. Children that have been lax
about their fingernails and hands are
brushing up industriously so they will
present shining countenance at school,
much to the joy of parents who have
striven more or less in vain to inculcate
lessons of neatness.
The items covered by this daily check
ing up are divertingly suggestive: hair,
ears, face, teeth, hands, fngernails, shoes
and posture. That's a wide latitude, and
it covers not only personal neatness but
sanitation and has a bearing not only
on the child's training but on it's health.
It may be said that this is something
the home ought to take care of: 1t is.
And if the home succeeds in taking care
of it, the daily inspections at school will
reveal nothing to criticize. If the reac-
ton on the home is such that after a
while all the children come to school look
ing as they should, then by and by it will
be possible to abandon this work, because
lit will be no longer needed.
In the meantime it is a thoroughly
sound work that will do q great deal OF
good.-Duluth Herald.

THE INDUSTRIAL OLD.

Is it the age or the animal? Why are
the old folks of today more Industrious
than the young? Will our young folks
be as Industrious when they attain the
years which doom them to decline?

it be the accused-will dispute him if in

Our young women are far superior in
their knowledge of their legal and con-
stitutional liberties. AS the street puts
it. they are "strong on the freedom stuff. /"
But freedom, after all, is only mega
tive possession. One cannot live or grow
famous or raise a family on freedom
alone.
The male side of the passing genera
ton is equally well represented in the
ranks of industry. The most timely ex-
ample is that of John F. Downey, 70

Thanks for the invitation Sister Will

cept it, not particularly for the enthusiasm
it might develop, but for the enjoyable
time and good suggestions certain to
result Enthusiasm is not lacking among
those who would promote race track

county's fair. It is a concrete question
of what is best that we are trying to
solve. Rock county does not have to take

goes. We will pit our exhibits against
those of any county in the state, and II

the same token, it is races and entertain

ENCOURAGING SPENDING.

lnor0 are TWO 1IloU1ulilS LlldC 11ldhS IL
easy to spend money without pricking
conscience The first is the charge &C
count, and the other is the checking &C
count. ALI large stores have made it q
steady policy to encourage the opening OF
charge accounts, being liberal in their
rules as to the credit risk. A man need
have but few good references and check
up we'll to be honored with place on the
books of the house, where he may buy ul
to certain limit have it charged, receive
his bill monthly and pay within reason
able time, which should be two weeks
There are obvious advantages IN this tea
ture of modern business, and the depart
ment stores are constantly lmportunlng
people to avail themselves of such facili-
ties. But beware of this alluring bait. 1t
tempts you to over-buy, purchasing the
things you do not need, perhaps, and Woulo
not buy if you had to pay cash.
Human nature is alike everywhere. We
all succumb to such temptations. The
charge account does facilitate shopping.
for you do not have to wait for change
may return goods with ease and have
record of what you buy each month. Use
lit, but do not abuse it.
The second medium is the checking &C
count in a bank Like the charge account
it makes spending easy. There was time
when we lived on a cash basis. We PAID
for what we got when we got it In money
We could see the money go. We missed it.
In the sight of real money there is some
thing subtle and precious, and we let GO
with regret. To all healthy and normal
individuals interrupted by the possession
of "easy money" or superfluous wealth.,
or over indulgence in alcohol, the parting
ic FIJI g
bill leaves your hand a CHASTITY little sigh
accompanies it. You have then tangibly
parted with your money. The fruits Of
your labor are gone.
The insidious side of the checking &C
count is that it enables you to spend mon
ey without pricking of conscience. You
write your check in moment and hand
it over as so much money; but it lacks the
sting of spending real money.
Beware how you let the charge account
run away with your good judgment. Keep
yourself in check. By all means have a
bank account if you spend but hundred
dollars month, but beware lest the
temptation to draw checks gets you into
the habit of treating money in the bank
as different from money in your purse, be-
cause all you have to do is to fill out a
check.
A bank account for household expenses
is the best thing yet devised, but it has
it's temptations Consider your check book
as record to tell you where your money
went, who got it, for what purpose, and
be your best receipt, but look out TOR the
allurement of the checking account that
it does not beguile you into reckless spend
ing that you would not fall prey to if you
lived on cash basis. Vixen you live 10y
real money you may have little fit al
every unwise expenditure, but in check.

one big fit at the end of the month. Yol
fought not have either.-A. B. A.

THE WORST SOUND ON EARTH.

We have gone through the agony Occa-
stoned by the insistant rattle Of an alarm
clock at $50 a. m. We have laid awake
to night with a single blood thirsty mos
quito at large in the room and listened
in tense suspense to the tantalizing, mono
tonous hum of his wings. We have heard
hungry bird dog voicing the anguish
of his soul at winter moon. We have
started goose flesh at the screech of file
of a saw. We have sat in a dentists
chair in cold sweat and heard the linn
Der thing-a-ma-bob with bot of light
ming, hundred beetings and dash Of
sulphuric acid concentrated in it's bust
ness end, gain momentum. We have heard
all the sounds that chill mans blood and
rack his nerves. But there is one sound
that sets our teeth on edge, clenches our
| fists and fills our soul with an overpow-
ering desire to go on the warpath and
bust things open. It is the most aggra-
waiting sound in the world and it comes
from the mouth of the chronic kicker.
There is scarcely community in our
land that is entirely free from this pest

Portable houses-even eating three square

make mistake in his bookkeeping and
pass one Of these nuisances through the
pearly gates, he would not be in the New
Jerusalem five minutes before he would
find fault with the color of the streets OF
gold and kick because his harp was out
of tune.
We haven't any plan to propose to ahate
the nuisance. When such n1alady can
persist in a country as prosperous, God
fearing, square-dealing and law-abiding
as that in which we live, it must be in
durable.
This editorial has served the purpose
of a safety valve on an engine. We have
written it instead of going on the war
path and busting things open. That
wouldn't stop the noise of the chronic
kicker and neither will this. But we've
got something off our chest and we feel

equalizing assessments in the state without working hardship on any property owners. The people voted down this bill, and it is now up to the legislature to offer some other means of relief"
 MT. Brown and R. G. Dye and A. c. Martineau, the other members of the commission, doubt if a mandamus proceeding can be brought to force the commission to raise all assess ments, because of the conflicts in the laws which leave the commission prac- tically powerless to act on county as- sessments.
 The Turner Jackson bill provided that assessors should begin their work February l of each year, instead of June 1, thus giving the Tax Com mission four more months in which to act on assessments. It also removed conflicts in the different laws relative to the time the county boards of equal ization should complete their work and the county clerks file their ab- stracts with the commission. The bill provided also for gradual increase in the assessment basis of all property in the state to 100 per cent and for automatically decreasing the state tax rate as the assessments were raised.

tory work is being done speaks vol umes for the progressive spirit of Arkansas farmers, who are deter mined to quit paying the awful tax of $20 for each head of cattle. In a few counties very few farmers are grumbling about the five cent tax when they are actually paying tax of twenty dollars to keep the ticks. Government figures show that much difference in the value of northern and southern cattle We have one of the finest cattle growing districts in America where al clovers and grasses do well with long open seasons and short feeding seasons. The extension division of the University of Arkan- sas and U. s. department of agri- culture is devoting much money and the time of many county agents and specialists to this work in co-opera- ton with the U. s. bureau of animal industry and with the state sanitary board.
