Rison High School
 Ends Session Soon

This session of the Rison High School will come to a close the latter part of this month. There are to be some graduates, but the Herald does not know ex. actly how many, nor it is able to give their names.
 Every year since the Rison High School has been established it has been the custom to turn all these facts over to the Her. aid for publication, and also place with this paper the order for all announcements, programs, diplomas, etc., and all programs class rolls, mottos, etc., have been published in these colums as a matter of news. The Her aid has always handled this school commencement business at price as near actual cost as could be figured, and has been very glad to give of it's space and cooperate in every conceiv. able way for the betterment of the school system.
 But the present superintend- ent of the city schools believes not in the old order of things. He has smashed several preced- ent since assuming the dictator ship of the schools. and in plac- ing the order for commencement announcements and diplomas (if he is to award diplomas) lie played havoc. with another per fectIy good. precedent and s>did not even look at the HeraldS line of samples.

Bad Times Ahead
 For Local! VagS

A meeting of the county coun- cil of defense was he'd at the Bank of Rison Tuesday after noon, when it was unanimously argeed to see that all vagrancy laws are rigidly enforced in the future, to the end that this un- desirable class, both white and colored, shall be made to bear it's just proportion in feeding the people, the soldiers and the allies of the United States during the war.
 And as an evidence that the council of defense means exac tly what it says in this matter, affi- davits against about a dozen al- legged vags was made befor Mayor Robertson, the affidavits being signed jointly by Judge w. E.. Galloway as chairman of the council of defense and J. B. Searcy, as county food admins trator.
 Means are to be perfected whereby the anti-vag squad of the council of defense may get to the soft-snap advocates who have been able to get by with precious little work, and these al so soon be permitted to join the gang of good roads producers. 2

German Atrocities
 ArOuSeS kentuCkian

How the story of German atrocities against French and Belgian women in the invaded territory reached the chivalric heart and bulging pocketbook of a "doubting Thomas" Kentuck- ian who virtually owned" one whole county of the state, has just been reported to Liberty Loan headquarters by James c. Wilson, vice. chairman for the state.
 Wilson had resorted to every means to enlist the wealthy Kentuckian in the Third Liberty Loan drive and had failed. Fin ally he called him up on the tele-r phone and commanded him Fin the name of the United States Government" to come to a meet ing in one of the large cities of Kentucky.
 What right have you to com mand with that authority?' the Kentuckian asked.
 Pm taking the right" Wilson replied. "s
 The Kentuckian was furious when he learned that there was no authority to compel his presl enee, Wilson virtually dragged him to the meeting where Major Eckenfelder of the French Army with the " awful light. of the things lie had seen in. his eyes; related his observation.
 The Kentuckiaa slunk into a chair in the rear.
 Major Eckenfelder began to relate the brutalities and the un

a blistering oath, which had in it nothing of the vileness with which it usually is spoken, and it brought the meeting to it's feet.
 After it was over the Kentuck- ian sought Wilson and held out his hand.
 Wilson, he said, you got me here by trick. but I thank God 1 came. I have never before realized what we are up against nor how proud I am to be an American. Hereafter every dollar 1 can spare is going to do the least that it can for my country and our cause-buy Liberty Bonds. I'm going to see that my friends buy bonds, too.
