by hauling the pupils from the
schools discontinued. Other pupils
hauled by their own conveyance
before, were passed on the road by
conveyances paid for by the dis
trict, but already loaded to their
full capacity. The Board does
no. claim that this difficulty has
been solved satisfactorily, to all
patrons, or to their own.
At the meeting to be held next
Monday. the matter Of transporta-
tion will be considered. Patrons
will be requested to present their
views. In some instances it will
cost as much or more TO haul the
pupils than to furnish a school in
their own vicinity
However. cost is only one Of the
considerations Efficiency is a
greater factor Cost is bound to
be high in any community where
the population is widely scattered.
The only way to reduce the cost is
to neglect the schools and deprive
some of its advantages.
The board acts for the district
during the year, hearing the COM
plants Of some and the commend.
alton Of others, and Try to carry
out your wishes as they think you
would wish them to do. Next
Monday gives you your best
chance to all get together and de-
termine what you wish in school
policy the coming year.
The above is published at this
time, as suggestive of future action,
and to get you thinking.
We find in talking with the peo-
pie that some with the difficulties
in the way are convinced that trans
portation of the pupils should be
extended, while some who appear
to have very few obstacles are most
opposed to it.
What we wish to see is an ex.
change Of opinions, so that the
whole community may arrive at
some conclusion as being the best
policy and then all pull together
for the success of the schools.
We do not want to stir up con-
troversey, but helpful discussion
and thorough consideration.
We believe that harmony is
more important than brillianoy in
school work. District 81 will do
better work with moderate ability
and each pupil and every teacher
working together in harmony with
each other and with parents, than
it will with a dozen OF the most
brilliant teachers and pupils, con
tinually wrangling and pulling in
opposite directions

CHARGES FAVORITISM
FOR RICH YOUNG MEN
Representative Tague Introduces
Resolution to Head Oh Any
Preference.

The charge that preference is being
shown to sons of men of wealth In
government positions and other places,
and that these young men are being
placed in position to escape military
service, was made by Representative
Tague OF Massachusetts yesterday in a
resolution introduced in the House The
resolution stated:
1T has been shown that preference
is now being given in the employment
of clerks and assistants in the various
departments of the government; and
in the employment of workmen and
clerks in factories and sshipyards now
engaged In the manufacture OF naval
commodities and munitions to the ex-
tent OF engaging at very low wages
the sons of men of means presume bly,
for the purpose of aiding them in
evading their military responsibilities
or to avoid conscription during the
present crisis"
The cure for this. Representative
Tague states. is as follows:
That in the preparation of lists of
names to be drawn in draft for mill
tary service in the national army no
exemptions shall be given to any other
than those who are recognized as
mechanics or artisans In labor who
are necessary and capable of perform
ing the work of upbuilding the army
and navy for national defense and con-
servation Of national resources"

COTTON MARKET IS
 AGAIN ON DECLINE
Most Recent Gain Lost, With Close 6-13 Points Lower Trade Interests Were Buyers on Scale Down.

New York, Jan 29.-The cotton market just about lost Saturdays ad- vance during today's earlier trading, with May contracts selling off to 17.27c, or 35 points under the closing price Of last week. Rallies followed, however, with that delivery closing at 1751c, while the general list closed steady at net loss of to 13 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of to 12 points, and after some little irregularity, sold 24 to 30 points net lower on present crop deliveries. This decline was attributed to liquida- tion by recent buyers and reselling by traders, who had covered short lines on the recent advance. A few stop or ders were uncovered on the decline but there was no change from the general average of spot news, while trade interests were moderate buyers on scale down. This caused rallies of several points late in the morning, after which the market weakened again under increased offerings, which seemed to come largely from Wall street sources.
 Further stop orders were uncovered on the early afternoon break, which carried March contracts off to 17.08c and July to 17.25c, or 35 points net lower. New crop months sold about 22 to 24 points under Saturdays clos. ing figures, but the market rallied quite sharply in tr.e late trading There seemed to be a vague feeling that weakness in the grain marke might reflect some improvement il the peace outlook, although no definite news to that effect could be fount around the ring. The close showed rallies of about 16 to 24 points iron the lowest.
 Cotton closed steady.

TO EXPLAIN PARA
 GRAPH ON BONE DRY" VOTE

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-The morning hour in the House was enlivened by a discussion of motion by Representa- tive Babb of Union county to suspend the rules and permit the entry in the journal of the explanation he made of his vote on the passage of the bone dry bill. The paragraph which caused the debate was as follows:
 q very much dislike to vote for a measure that will deprive old ex-Con- federate soldiers and many other good temperate citizens of the state from getting whiskey, while at the same time permitting rum-soaked priest hood getting all the wine they need"
 MT. Norfieet of St. Francis opposed the motion, and declaring himself Protestant, defended the Roman Ca tholic priesthood, paying them trib- ute for devotion and self-sacrifce whenever duty calls. He declared that such insinuations as that contained in the explanation made by Representa- tive Babb are not in keeping with the teachings of the Man of Nazareth, and he pleaded with the members not to
