Advertising Pays
 Says George Cobb

The only reason MT. and Mrs. Geo. Cobb have not made enough side money to take trip to sum- mer resort is because their surplus supply of cabbage and tomato plants was exhausted long before small classified ad in the Courier-Index lost its pulling power. At least MT. Cobb ayers his wife had calls for several thousand more plants than she could fill and her only regret is she did not know advertising was sueh good investment so she could have planted on basis commensu- rate with the demand stimulated by a four-line reader in a newspaper that is read from ''kiver to kiver' by more than five thousand Lee countains.

Praises Work Done
 In Eighth Grade

Rev. Jno. A. Womack, pastor or the First Methodist church, is deep Iv interested in the work of the Ma riapna schools. He visited the elgnth grade the other day and was so Ia vorablv impressed with the charac- ter of the work done in this partlcu- lar department that he gave to the Courier-Index the following state ment for publication:
 "A glimpse at the character oI work done in the eighth grade of our public school right now IS insplra- tional indeed. The work we saw was not made to order, but consisted of the regular type of work that IS car ried on from day to day
 "A few things impressed us as Vls- itors: good order, neat work, com fortable surroundings, and a general appearance of thoroughness. Evi- dently the pupils have received good instruction, and the work done ln- dicates that the instruction has not been bestowed in vain.
 Writing exercises, memory tests reading and some really genuine work in arithmetic gave evidence o1 uuch hard work. In other words, the whole program was look of performance.
 "This class will be admitted to first year high school next session. It strikes me that right at this point the patrons of this room need to be- come interested if not already, Tn this fact: the high school cannot ex- ist without material. Taking this class as a basis for the four year course, and seeing to it by all means that they remain in the school until graduation, we will in brief period of time have an institution Tn our midst which we may highly prize.
 "Churches and schools are more closely related than some people sup pose. Let the high school classes be broken up into fragments, some go- ing here and others there to second rate institutions and utterly forsak- ing the plans that are intended prl- marily to keep the home intact, and the whole scheme is soon frustrated. On the other hand, stand by your home institution and in the run of the years we will be able to show you young men and women who are capable in business, steadfast Tn their christian faith, and pillars Tn church and state. ~
 'T have penned these lines with the hope that might awaken in the breast of school patrons a desire to make your won school and churches and community just what they should be-"

To Buy Bonds for
 Sake of StOnldch

Forrest City, April 7.-One good patriot here who has been webbing on the gudgeon as to whether or not he should buy a Victory bond, declared today that while looking back through a lot of old bills ani receipts he came across series of sugar and flour receipts and pledg- es which he had been compelled to sign during the tight food admin istration regulations last spring and summer, and old memories of the time when he had gone into the res taurant and been forced to submit to the humiliation of having the waiter stand over him in a threat ening manner with a poised spoon and gruff challenge, sugar in yes' coffee?" and upon his timid re- sponse in the affirmative, being dol ed out meager spoonful while he would be forced to sit and watch the bowl be returned to the locker and of all the long, lonesome nights. when he would lie sleepless and cuss the kaiser, and wonder how long the d--n war was going to last, of the continuous nightmare of meat less days and wheatless days, of the amending saturnalia of rules and ed tets circumscribing a mans liberty and outranging his appetite, he sud- denly ground his teeth and clenched his fists in grim resolve as this flood Of disabreeable memories rush. ed over him and caused his blood to boil in righteous anger.
 In twinkling his mind was made un. Yes, he would buy a Victory bond to help finish the job and pre- vent a recurrence of that starvation period when man was forced to sign a "lie bill' before he could buy d little handful of groceries to take home to his wife and children.
