WILL. PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to theil
questionnaires brought to light a con
dition so, serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education Of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena'
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro
duced bill in the Senate ito promote
the education Of illiterates, Of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng

sons Of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead
OF Alabama. ~ ~
The introduction of this important
bill means q great deal to the: South

mountain whites, has long, borne a

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
OF comfort and prosperity which is
his just. due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average of
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth s12,2So,Oo0,oO0.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever will
be sown. Naturally, the, farmer is
making the most Of his opportunities,
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything he
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will fur
nish a market for his fat. hogs and
steers. a.s,, .-;.,.y...

And it would be more interesting per-
hapsr to have a statement Of the Lib
erty Bonds now, in the hands Of these
tillers Of the soil. 20. g..
Very soon the farmer will have fur
ther. opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as we'll developed
as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight loan that will draw

Because Of his price guarantee Of
s2.26 bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from so to rs cents upon every
bushel of wheat harvested next seas
on. Having given this guarantee to
the farmer, he will make it good.
That is Uncle Sans way. But what
is. MIR. Farmer going to do for Uncle
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan?
In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class, has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantime
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
a restriction, than others have.
The big. question now, when he
stands to cash in at a % per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive? = ~

Governor Coolidge of Massachu-
sets puts the police strike situation
strongly and concisely in a procla-
nation to the people urging them to
stand behind the government in
organizing a new police force. He
says: SIN the deliberate intention
to intimidate and coerce the govern
menr of this commonwealth, a large
body of policemen, urging all others
to join them, deserted their posts of
duty. By this act, through the
operation of the law, they dispos-
sessed themselves. They went out
of office. They stand as though they
had never been appointed. The
authority of the commonwealth can
not be inundated or coerced. 1t
cannot be compromised. To place
the maintenance of the public
security in the hands of body of
men who have attempted to DESTROY
1t, would be to fiout the authority
OF the law the people have made.
Those who would counsel it Join
hands with those whose acts have
threatened to destroy the govern
ment. There is no middle ground.
Every attempt to prevent the
formation of new police force is
bloN at the government. In that
way, treason lies.
