BOOKS BEST GIFTS
 FOR YOUNG FOLKS
By Miss Ethel Millar, Librarian,
 Hendrix College.

AS the holiday season approaches many people will decide to give books to the children of their acquaintance. The next question is what book to get for we are coming to realize that the right book at the right time is of vital importance to children.
 The most interesting books for chil- dren are usually the same that were enjoyed by us when we were children. So much of the juvenile literature of today is the "pot-boler' type, insipid, poorly written, with little imagina- tion.
 Books written in series like the Air plane Boys, the Jack Harkaway se- ries nearly always lead to a lower ing of taste if many are read. Even if the first book of the series is ex- cellent, there is no guarantee that the rest of the series will be desirable. Stories like the Alger books, which give the false impression that suc- cess is attained by some lucky turn of fortunes wheel, rather than by iie'i u Woi anu peISeTNeTdHce, are not advisable
 Every child needs at least one book with beautiful illustrations. He can get more real pleasure out of one carefully selected, famous book, il- lustrated by master painter who has caught the child's point of view, than from half dozen crudely, though perhaps showily illustrated stories which will be forgotten before the edition is sold out. Such famous books are:
 Alice in Wonderland illustrated by Sir John Tenniel; Twas the Night Be fore Christmas, illustrated by Jessie Wilcox Smith; Grimm, J. L. House hold Stories, illustrated by Walter Crane; Lanier, Sidney. The Boys King Arthur, illustrated by N. c. Wyeth; Robin Hood, illustrated by Mrs. L. F. Perkins; Swiss Family Rob inson, illustrated by Louis Rhead ; Lamb, Charles, Tales from Shakes peare, illustrated by Rackkham, by N. NJ. Price or by Boydell. Further suggestions for children and young people of different ages will be published later)

SOON TO PUBLISH
 DFSERTfRS' LIST

Little Rock, Nov. 20.-It has been announced in military circles that the adjutant general of the army is pre- pairing to publish a list of all will full deserters. The war department is determined that steps shall be talk en to apprehend thhose who are gull ty of wilful desertion, of whom there are about 174,000. It is desirous however to avoid publishing as de- serters the names of those who were not guilty. The list is being careful ly checked and it is hoped that at least 10000 names may be eliminat- ed.
 "Outside of the matter of trial and punishment" says Governor Brough, in letter just made public, "the publicity which will result from this list will be severe punishment upon those who refused to answer their countries call in her hour of need. It Will be disgrace which can never be effectively lived down, especially in view of the fine response made by the youth and flower of our country 1t IS therefore of the first importance that the list be correct, for if a name does not properly belong there should be made public, no amount of explana. ton or correction could undo the in- Jury wrought" The governor calls upon all patriotic citizens to assist the authorities in making this list ac. curate and complete.

COUNTY UNION IS
 BEING ORGANIZED

After having adjourned a session scheduled for this morning at the courthouse, on account of the school directors meeting at the same time and place, delegates met in the Con- mercial Club rooms at 2 o'clock this afternoon for the purpose of forming a county organization of the Farm CTS Educational and Cooperative Union. The meeting was called by B. D. Taylor of this city, county organiz- CT, who has formed 13 local unions in this county in the past few weeks.

LUNCHfONONROAD
 QUESTION TUESDAY

The Little Rock chamber of con- merce will on Tuesday tender lun- cheon to delegations of Conway and Morrilton business men for discus sion of means whereby the permanent road to Little Rock may be completed by the construction of road from Palarm, the terminus of the Faulkner system, to North Little Rock. The luncheon has been arranged by Man ager George Firmin of the chamber of commerce at the suggestion of President Tom Davis of the Conway Commercial Club and approved by the Morrilton chamber of commerce. With Conway county roads reaching the Faulkner line, and the Faulkner road reaching the Pulaski line, the stretch between Palarm and North Little Rock is the only missing link in the road to Little Rock, and the three commercial bodies consider it's completion a matter of great impor- tance.
 Mir. Davis is in communication with Morrllton business men to determine the number who will comprise the delegation, and is also anxious to know immediately how many Conway business men and citizens generally will go. MT. Firmin wishes to know the exact number as soon as possible. A district for the Palarm to North Little Rock road was created by the last legislature, but for some reason, it was allowed to go dead The three commercial bodies represented at the luncheon will consider means for the accomplishment of it's immediate re- revival.
 Members of the Commercial Club who can go should see MT. Davis. The delegation will return to Conway Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, in time for the annual election by the Commercial Club on Tuesday night.

DISCUSS SCHOOL
 RELIEF MEASURES
DIRECTORS IN MEETING
Schools are Bankrupt, Torreyson Tells Meeting-Assoc1ation for Coun-
 ty is Formed.

Hedging their undivided efforts for
 the betterment of the public schools
 of Faulkner county, school directors
 of the county meeting at the court house this morning formed a county
 association of directors with the cleo
 tion of J. C. Clark, chairman of the
 board of education as chairman, and Dr. l. N. McCollum of Conway as sec retary. Twenty-six directors were present at the meeting, which early resolved itself into an informal and open discussion of public school prob lens, first presented by President B. w. Torreyson of the State Normal, who declared that the schools are bankrupt and in the ditch and imme- diate measures must be taken to re- store education. Various phases of the problem were presented by other speakers.
 County Superintendent-E Elect A. A. Parsons, Jr., was called upon by the chairman for a few remarks. Mr. Parsons said it was not expected that the new superintendency law would cure all defects in school management, but he believed it would prove bene- fit in bringing the teachers and di- rectors to cooperating along all ines tending to betterment of the schools. The need of a better standard for teachers was stressed by MT. Par sons, who said the scarcity of material for teachers had resulted in lowered efficiency. The only way he saw to raise the standard was to increase the revenue so that salaries would be more attractive and persons of better training and stronger characters be induced to take up the profession. Longer terms, better school houses and better equipment were also urged by MT. Parsons as things to be strived for.
 Dr. J. B. Mum of the Vilonia school board said the maximum 12-mill tax in his district provide sufficient rev enue for only four months of school and the remaining four months had to be paid by donations. About 15 men in the district had been contrib uting $1,200 a year in addition to their taxes to keep the school going, he declared
 Pres. B. w. Torreyson of the State Normal explained the provisions of the proposed constitutional amend ment taking the limit from school taxes and permitting any district to vote any rate of tax it desires for the support of it's school. He refer red to the fact that Arkansas has dropped in rank educationally among the states from thirty-ffth place a few years ago to forty-sixth place to- day, and said our educational system had simply broken down. The great est and highest duty of men and wom- en, he said, was to give proper train ing to the children they brought into the world, and the provision of sui ficient funds to accomplish this end should be the first aim of everyone. He said that on account of inadequate

WILL TURN BACK
 INSPECTION FUNDS

Little Rock. Nov. 20.-One of the few departments of the state govern ment which has the distinction of turn Ing back an unexpended balance into the state treasury is the department of agriculture. Commissioner Fergu- son reports that he will turn back an unexpended balance of approximately $l5,0OO in the feed and fertilizer in spectlon funds. The legislature appropriated $115,000 for inspection. reed inspection was yielding a revenue of SlO6,00O and fertilizer inspection s5o,0O0. The legislature provided in Act 183 that the greatest compensa- ton that can be paid fertilizer inspec- tors IS $10O per month and their ac tual expenses. Mir. Ferguson says he has been unable to secure competent men for this service at this salary and he has been forced to depend upon the service of his feed inspectors who are allowed a more adequate salary. He says that unless the law is amended it will be impossible to carry on the fer tlllzer inspection as it should be Two representatives of the federal bureau of inspection, Messrs. Lynch and Sul- llVan, are in the state now co-operat- ing with the state department in an inspection of the oil mills of the state. They are working in the closest cooperation and the federal officials are rendering valuable aid to the state

mitted having an indiscreet talk with
reporter" and that he had "reluc-
tantly reached the conclusion that the
good of the service demands that l
shall inform Mr.. Crane that his resig-
nation will be accepted and / have
done so." President Taft told Mr..
Crane that he concurred in the views
of Secretary Knox and greatly re-

Mr.. Crane announced at the time

Acceptable to China.

Of course the Chinese government
has accepted Mr.. Crane as being per-
soma .gratia as it had been in 1909,
otherwise, according to diplomatic
procedure, he would not have been
selected again. Whether the Japan
ese government knew of President
Wilson's intentions to send Mr..
Crane to China can only be a con-
lecture, for while it is not customary
for one government to consult a third
government on it's selections Of dip
lomats to be accredited to another
power, some official folk in Washing
ton feel that in view of the previous
incident in which Mr.. Crane figures
and the general aspects Of the situa-
ton in the far east President Wilson
would not have selected him without
feeling that his appointment would
cause no disagreeable incident be-
tween the United States and Japan.
Mr.. Crane was appointed minister
to China by President Taft in Sep
tember, 1909, and in Chicago, while
on his way to San Francisco, at
complimentary luncheon, quoted Mr.
Taft as having told him of Americas
interest in China's welfare and haV-
ing added that whether Mr.. Crane
made a speech he ought to "speak 1t
out red-hot." That utter, nee SEEM
ed to attract no particular attention
and later Mr.. Crane attended an
other luncheon at which WI Ting
Fang, Chinese minister to the United
States, emphasized the friendly inter-
est the United States had in China.
Ordered Back to Washington.
The storm did not break, however,
until month later when in San
Francisco Mr.. Crane got brief tele-
gram from Secretary Knox, on the
eve of embarking, ordering him back
to Washington. The reason for the
sudden change was not made public
at the time, Mr.. Crane processing
ignorance of it, but diplomats IN
Washington began talking about his
speeches and it began to leak out
that some one was offended.
! 1t finally developed that a story
appearing in a Western newspaper
accredited to Mr.. Crane and repre-
senting him as attacking the Man
churian agreement between China and
Japan we're the real causes of his re-
call. The story also appeared in the
japanese press and caused consid-
cradle reaction in Japan over the
supposed view Of the new minister
from the United States to China.
Without Authority.
Secreatry Knox issued a statement
saying that while in the department
preparatory to leaving for his post

MAN WHO TALKED TOO
MUCH" TO SUIT TAFT
CHOSEN AS MINISTER
President Wilson Appoints Chas. r
Crane to Represent United States
in China.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Charles r.
Crane, of Chicago, business man,
millionaire and world traveller, who
was appointed minister to China by
President Taft in 1909 and recalled
while on the way to Peking for talk
ing too much," has oeen select Il by
President Wilson for the same post
to succeed DR.. Paul Reinsch.
Mr.. Cranes selection by the presl-
dent reopens chapter of diplomatic
history which although forgotten by
many was one of the most lively IN
cidents in American foreign relations.
1t was quite generally stated, and
believed by many in touch with for
eign affairs, that Mr.. Cranes recall
in 1909 was at the instance of the
japanese government which was re-
ported not only to have regarded his
appointment as offensive, but object
ed also to q man whom Mr.. Crane
was taking as private secretary and
adviser and who was quite well
known for writings construed as anti
Japanese.
Tafs Changed His Mind.
None of the real inside story of
Mr.. Cranes recall appears on such
diplomatic documents as were per-
mitted to become public and as the
records stand President Taft changed
his mind about Mr.. Cranes fitness
for the post in the far east after
agreeing with Secretary Knox that
Mr.. Crane had talked too much" and
had been "indiscreet" in some Of the
speeches he made while on the way
to San Francisco to take an army
transport to China.
Mr.. Crane came again into public
notice during President Wilson's ad-
ministration when the President Of
fered him the post of ambassador to
Russia, which he declined. Later Mr..
Crane was a member of the commits
sion headed by former Secretary
Root, which went to Russia, and ne
has generally been regarded in gov
ernment circles as one of the few
men who were "close to the presl-
don't"
