Federal agents have declared G. E.
Cavett, present director of vocational
education, to bs absolutely unqualified
to hold the position. This position is
comparatively created by the federal
and state governments, each paying
half of the $4,000 a year salary and
the expenses Of the office. ,#s
Under the qualifications in the

graduate of an agricultural college, or
must have had so many years study
in farm work and be graduate of
normal school or university. Cavett is
neither, according to federal reports.

Miss Minnie Nelson under this law

all requirements.
When the new board of administra-
ton began to strip Miss Nelson of all
duties, the vocational training de-
partment was among the first to be
grabbed. Carlson was relieved of du-
ty and Cavett named not only director
of vocational training, but state exec
utive officer as well. Cavett was one
of the lonesome two county superin-
tendents who supported Neil C. Nc.

qualification enough.

qualifications are set forth, a man
must meet them and Mr.. Cavett Is

'There are at least 100 men in the
penitentiary today for stealing all the

as much as six years in the state pris-
on and are serving their time If Ug-
land who stole nearly 100000 must
serve only nine months in the state
penitentiary, the other fellows should
be released Immediately or should
have been put out years ago. These

higher up but they are entitled to just
the same treatment as Ugland, no
more and no less" said Attorney Cen
eral William LANCER today in letter
to the members Of Governor Frazier's
parole board.
D. H. Ugland was entered at the
state penitentiary for a five years
stretch on December II, 1918, after
having pleaded guilty to three differ
emit charges in connection with defal-
cations and irregularities in the Knox
State Bank, amounting to nearly $500,
900. He was released under parole
or September 10. LANCER had previ-
ously learned Of an effort to secure his
parole and on March 18th wrote pro-
test to the board and request to be
heard before the man was released.

role of Upland have been made to the

The profits of cotton mills north
and south in the last few years have
been the largest in the history of the
industry. Some have reported 100 per
cent in a year.
Speculation has run riot in textile
goods after they have left the hands
of the mill men. In New York there
has been gambling in goods just the
same as IN khares Of stock on the ex-
change. Goods have passed from hand
to hand for months, kept in sus-
pension as it were, each seller look
ing for a profit and each buyer ex-
pecting a profit when he sold to the
next gambling buyer. When at last
the cloths got into the hands of
manufacturer the price was inflated
beyond reason. Because manufactur-
ing costs have increased the manu-
facturers looked for larger profits
than ordinarily.
The sum and substance Of it all is
that from the producer OF the raw
material to the storekeeper. everyone
has taken an excessive toll and 1t
mas Hau 10 come Out Ol the PoChct
Of the ultimate consumer. Everything
from a pair OF overalls to the shirt
or bed clothes has been advanced in
price beyond all legitimate reason.
1t is the same story generally in re-
gard to fruits. vegetables, fish and
many articles of food. The acute de-
mand of the war period has passed
but the acute desire Of the profiteer
has not abated in the slightest de-
gree.
The food supplies of America are
abnormally large. The supplies OF
fabrics are not but the question OF
supply and demand is less of a domi-
nant factor than that Of unfair profits.
What once was a crime is accepted
now as a trade custom.
This must be corrected or it is cer-
tain to result in serious social unrest.

COMMUNITY FAIRS.

The community fair is the thing. It has been given a great vogue all over Arkansas this fall. The system is being put into effect in many coun- ties. In Pulaski, for instance, the county was divided into quarters, and four community fairs were held. They were promoted and managed by the farmers themselves. Great rivalry was aroused among them in the pro- ducts of the farm and orchard, prizes were offered and there was strong competition among the exhibitors.

At a meeting of the farmers of White county this week, committee of three was appointed vested with the authority and with instructions to em- ploy county agricultural agent for their county; which is the result of the failure of the quorum court to make an appropriation for this work. Resolutions were adopted at meet ing of community clubs in Franklin county Monday night, condemning the action of the quorum court in reject ing the appropriations for county ag- ricultural agents.

 Know ye that whereas, The chief executive of this state was compelled ot call upon the federal authorities for troops to put down insurrection and uphold law and order within the bor- ders of our state, owing to the fact that adequate state forces were not available for this purpose, and
 Whereas, it is imperative that an efficient and trained military force be available at all times to uphold the laws of the state and to quell insur- rections and riots, and
 Whereas, every county in our state should have an adequate and efficient military force available, upon the call of the governor, for upholding law and order when civil authorities are unable to do so, without calling upon the federal government unless this is absolutely necessary, and
 Whereas, under the state and fed eral laws, every male citizen between IS and 45 years is subject to military duty when called upon by the presi- dent of the United States, or the gov ernor of this state, and
 Whereas, proper recognition should be given all men who served during the world war and those heroic sons of our state who made the supreme sacrifice, and
 Whereas, the federal government requires that adequate armories, where facilities are available for the improvement of our young men, men tally, morally and physically, be pro- vided for the state military forces be- fore federal recognition is extended.
 Therefore, I, Charles H. Brough, governor of the Sttae of Arkansas, by virtue of the authority vested in me under the constitution and laws of said state, do hereby earnestly and urgently call on all county, city and town authorities to cooperate in or ganizing at least one National Guard company in each county of the state, under the supervision of the adjutant general of the state, who will give all details as to requirements, and l would earnestly appeal to all county and city authorities to heartily CO., operate in building at least one mem orial community armory building in each county, in honor of the heroic sons of our state who made the su- preme sacrifice, and in honor of our sons who served during the World War. whose names should be inscribed on tablets of bronze, as an insplra- tion to our present and future genera tions to uphold and defend all that is good in citizenship.
