Club that would have thirty members
and in which we would have but one
vote. That is Just what his speech
amounts to so far as the world club
goes,
when Senator Harding made his
speech he promised peace just as soon
as Republican Congress could pass
it for a Republican President to sign.
He wants peace, real peace, with Ger
many at once, and he does not intend
to have 1t at the expence of joining a
world club. Mr.. Cox does not know
how to argue against Senatr Harding's
thought in this matter. All he was
able to do in this speech was to say
nasty things. In fact he called the Re-
publican proposal one that means,
dishonor, world confusion and de-
lay He says Mr.. Harding's direct
peace would keep us in permanent
company with Germany, Russia, Tur-
key, and Mexico OF course that is
no more true that if were to tell you,
Jack, that because you won't let
Johnny Jones use you for a horse,
you will always be playing with the
bad Snider boy. Such an argument as
that is childish to say the least And
in declaring that we would be in per-
manent company with Mexico, Mr.. Cox
makes me laugh. He fails to say any
thing about the shameful policy his
party has followed toward Mexico ever
since Mr.. Wilson has been in the
White House. We couldn't be in much
closer company with Mexico than to
have seen hundreds of Americans MUIR
dered down there and their property
destroyed with the only action on the
part of Mr. Cox's party in the form Of
sweet notes to whomever happened to
beriding in the presidential chair in
Mexico City. | could go on and tell
you about other things he said, but
have not the time tonight.
1--WE know Mr.. Cox has usrrendered
to Woodrow Wilson and we know he is
for the World Club, and that is enough
to turn true Americans against him.
At this very moment Russia threatens
trouble for all Europe. France, Italy
and England would like to rest for a
while and they all are wondering what
the United States will do, BUT if we
were in the world club NOW, they
would not be asking us but telling us
what to do. You would be watching at
least a hundred thousand American
boys going up the gang-plank of ships
headed for Europe to do the fighting
for those countries who want to rest.
That is the sort of picture Governor
| Cox would like to see and it is the
sort picture he will make possible if
he can get himself elected
at should not be hard for real
Americans to know how to ote in No
vember, for Governor Cox will con-
tinue to carry Woodrow Wilson's ban
ner upon which the words, America
Last are plainly written"

.ssE sense type.
 i lie ,. 950 pupils, boys and girls. in the Searcy schools, and on the day in question most of thern were out for the regular weekly parade ami q i'll. The He i'd man stood near the reviewing stand, near the entrance to | the hi~h school buildin and watched them as they ente ed the buildine. An Inspiring Sight It was a sight of the inspiring sort. The Loys and Is, after their brisk walk through the crisp morning air were filled with life and vigor On the faces of the girls there was a glow of health such as all the rouge i. all the drug store and beauty pa,loes of Arkansas could not supply. and the eyes sparkled without artificial aid. The movements of limb of girl was l free as that of boy. There was no | skimpy skirts to hinder, and there was no high French heel to throw the foot out of ali~nment to cramp the toes and help build up deformity for future years.
 And yet even in this wonderful crowd of wonderful Arkansas boys and girls there was the inevitable ex- ception. One girl, defiant of publi opinion, chung to a pair of high shoes with the banned French heels. And it is in company in which this ex- ception is seen that showed the good sense of the majority and the frailty of the one who chung to that which she thought made her more at tractive.
 One Girl Wore High Heels She was the only girl in line whose step was not firm. She alone "wob- bled" when she walked. Like the habit contracted by all French heels after they have been worn awhile they Iran over, gave the foot "slop- py" appearance, and from the limp that she could not conceal it was ap- parent she derived no real pleasure from the freak footgear.
 County Superintendent Approves
 "This is but just specimen of what all of our schools in White county are doing" said County Superintendent: Henry. 'In Judsonia,- Kensett, Bald Knob, McRae, Higginson, Bradford Russell, Garner and Beebe similar scenes are enacted each week.
 There are very many reasons why this reform should grow and be of real benefit to the community. While the plan was evolved in the first place as means of saving and con servation, the other benefits are now showing even more to be desired re- suits, and as far as l can see the plan is becoming more popular each day.
 .'At first We had in mind only the saving plan. The Treasury Depart ment's campaign started the thing. We wanted the pupils to buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. And we wanted them to save the money.
 "We figured out that each boy who dresses according to the prescribed rule will save $50 each year on the buy. Each girl will save $45 every clothing he would otherwise have to year by discarding the garments she formerly wore and adopting the com nonsense garb. With just portion of this saving invested in U. s. gov ernment securities, Uncle Sam will have large amount of ready money at his disposal and each pupil will have a nest egg when he leaves school"
 Saves Thousands of Dollars
 "The saving feature, of course, is one of the big thoughts" said City Superintendent Woodward, "but the good that is being wrought in the schools is even greater from another

Plan Is Simple

The plan is very eimple-almost az simple as the dress itself, and it is easily worked out. Just where the idea germinated is not quite clear. But children in the schools seized it with as great svidity as did the edu- cators who are now fsthering it, and 1 it is gaining impetus each day. There is nothing compulsory about pupils adopting this simplified dress. If pupil wants to be otherwise, why, it's up to him. To be sure, the pupil who will refuse to Ego with the crowd" on such movement runs the risk of being called "uppish" and is not like ly to be very popular with his fellows.
 A staff correspondent for the Saw ings Herald visited Searcy one day recently and saw for himself just what progress was being made in the reform. He reached Searcy early in the morning, and after breakfast, about S:30 o'clock, he was taking a walk over the well-paved downtown streets.
 He was rather astonished when in the distance he saw long lines of boys and girls, marching two abreast, keep ing step, and shouting with giee as they walked through the crisp, fresh air. It was apparent that there was some sort of uniform, and yet there were just enough variations to make one curious.
 As one drew nearer the line he could see that practically all of the boys were dressed in blue, with topping of white. The girls, however, were not so uniformly clad, and yet there was certain similarity that was noticeable

Saves Thousands of Dollars

"The saving feature, of course, is
 one of the big thoughts" said City
 Superintendent Woodward, "but the
 good that is being wrought in the
 schools is even greater from another
 standpoint. Caste is absolutely lost sight of under this plan. It works for
 real democracy, and here is better feeling between the boys and girls
 than I ever saw in any school with which I was connected.
 "It would be difficult to conceive of snob in the Searcy schools. The wearing of blue overalls does more to erase the feeling that I have ob- served between the classes than any, thing that came under my observation The boy with rich parents does not assume on his social standing, and the boy with poor parents can make as brave showing in his blue overalls as if his father was worth million. They all enter the spirit of work and play with brotherly feeling that will endure through life.
 'Then in their play they enjoy the costume. They have greater freedom of action. They do not fear to soil their clothing and can engage in all the manly sports and suffer no serious loss, because the blue overalls may be laundered easily and they like them after they are broke to them."

Bib" Is In Evidence

When one drew abreast of the line it was seen that the boys uniforms consisted of 9 pair of overalls, "bib overalls" they call them down in Ar kansas. This abib" is huge flap that extends upward in front from the waist line to within four or five inches from the chin. Suspenders made from the same blue denim that makes up the overalls cross behind and buckle to buttons in front of the bib.
 For the rest of the uniform the boy is at liberty to make his own selection ito a certain extent. The hickory shirt is de rigeuer in the public schools of Searcy. But if the hickory cloth be not handy any other kind of a shirt, with the exception of silk, is permissible
 The winters are not so dreadfully cold in Searcy, and on the day in ques- ton most of the boys appeared in their oyeralls and shirts. Some wore coats and some even wore top coats The head dress does not much matter and hats and caps are worn at the discretion of the pupil. Shoes, oi -ourse, were the rule, but there were none of the sharp toed varieties oi freak styles. Durability was the i quality essential.
 IE was . trifie easier for the boys to get an outfit that is really uniform than for the girls. But the latter have nearly solved the problem, and the casual onlooker would be con vinced the object had been attained Girls Wear ''Middies" 4 middy blouse is the predominant garment, and in most instances 1t was very much in evidence. Then there was the skirt, mainly made of serge of durable quality, and dark in color with here and there skirt of denim which gains in popularity as tlie weather waxes warm. The main ie- form in the dress for girls is from the knees down.
 Silk stockings are absolutely taboo However, if girl has pair of silk hose that has seen better days, and has been darned so often that they are no longer serviceable on Sarraths they may be worn without violating anY of the proprietics.
 And shoes--here is where the slm- olified dress for girls scores it's strong est point. There is strong preju- lice against the hich French heels that are so much affected in certain centers. The shoe must be made ni real leather, the sort that will wear well and it must have good thick sofes that will keep the feet dry, and the hael rni,af he low of the cannon

they can look to Him as the very

God tells us in Isaiah $3.50 that.

as the Heavens are higher than the

your ways, and My thoughts than

the thought fully into our minds
that our highest conception of JUS

far below His standard as the earth
is below the high Heavens.

thought intended to be convened i'm

YOU that the boundary of the physi-

Instead of finding the boundary of
the physical Heavens, he learns that
the more powerful the telescope
used. the more realms of endless
space IN the physical Heavens open
before his gaze. What should this
teach us concerning the character
Of God? We should apply the meas
ure He gives us and find out. He
gives us an earthly illustration as to
the distance between the bounda-
rieS of His noble character and the
very best there is of His human
creatures. Just as the physical
Heavens is an ~immeasurable dis
tance above the physical earth, so
is The character of God a measure
less distance above that of the very
best of mankind.
Depraved humanity, with all of its
weakness and short comings, would
not for moment consent to the
torture of the worst criminal on
earth. Nearly everybody would
consent 70 the death of a wilful
red-handed crimiSal in accordance
with the law. But no one would
sanction his eternal torment. No
where in the civilized world will
men allow law to be placed upon
the statute books permitting the
lasting torture of criminals Re
member, that death does not mean
torment. Torment carries the idea
of keeping one alive in a sense for
the purpose of inflicting misery and
great injury.
Who would dare put Gods char
acterS for justice and love below
that of a fallen humnity? No one
but the representatives of the
Church Denominations would do
such a thing. They claim that God,
foreknowing all things planned that
the swicked, after death, should be
tormented throughout all eternity.

nominations represent Col as having
