 Of all the movement now in prog ress in the state, there is none fraught with greater importance than that of the State Illiteracy Commission which IS sponsoring a system of adult schools for the benefit of those who have not had the advantage of edu- cation in their youth.
 The Commission, as a means of popularizing the movement and at tracing the attention of all classes of citizens to the work, is conducting a poster contest for posters that may be most effectively used. There are four sections in the contest. One open to junior high school students, 1 one to normal high school and col lege students, and one free-for-all.
 The contest will close March s, and the posters are to be placed on exhibition in the Department of Ed ucation on March 15, when the prize winners will be announced.
 The threatened formal announce ments" of various and sundry candi- l dates for governor, which have been promised for about this time, are still held in abeyance There have I -.. 4I. nouncement by Judge E. P. Toney that he expects to run, and the open ing speech of Judge George R. Hay nie. At this time it seems probable | that the people will be forced to make their selection of a standard bearer | from among six or eight aspirants, 1 instead of the score or more that 1 have been mentioned more or less prominently. Something should hap pen within the next few weeks something more definite than has been given out by all save half dozen of the candidate who first got | into the field.
 Arkansas continues to get splendid ! publicity all over the country. It is a state that is doing things worth while, and that colnpel attention. Only last week the Manufacturers | Record, printed two pages of good | roads for Arkansas, featuring the $1 ,000, 100000 road program. That | IS the sort of thing that gives Ar kansas standing among the states that can be coined into genuine pros perity.
 Already the issues that will come before the regular session of the leg lslature next January are being form ulated. Before we have finished with the last extra session, and while can didates are announcing for the next house and senate, the people are beginning to talk about what should be done at the regular session less than eleven months hence.
 One of the big issue will be the Arkansas Corporation Commission shall the law creating it be repealed pr amended? This will undoubtedly be one of the hardest fought ques- lions of the session.
 The policy of the state tow
 The policy of the state toward the good roads program will probably ,ake precedence over all, particularly n the matter of maintenance, which las come prominently to the front n recent months. It will also be in- .eresting to note the attitude of the next legislature toward the creation of new districts while there are so many districts still in process of con struction.

PUBLIC PROPERTY.
There Are People Who Maliciously or
CarlessIy Destroy it.

When you settle down to live in
a place, you become a partner in the
public enterprise of maintaining
community life. This partnership ex-
lists, even among people who pay
no taxes. If they buy supplies or
pay board, they help pay taxes indi-
rectly. Hence they are interested in
this proposition of community main
tenance.
But some people do not seem to
realize that they have any share in
this community of interest. Men who
have charge Of public parks say
that hoodlums will come in and de-
liberately break down seats, tramp
lie on plants, and do other damage.
If they find a strip of ground care
fully planted with grass seed, in the
hope of making a beautiful lawn
they will maliciously or carelessly
walk across it.
They seem to think it is funny to
destroy something that other people
have worked to create, even if in so
doing they destroy something of
their own. 1t is much as if partner
in business walked into the Office and
began to take money out of the safe
and throw it into the street.
A lot of people who know too
much to commit any malicious acts,
will yet offend in similar ways thru
carlessness. They will cut corners
on grass plots, until the neat
squares of turf look seedy and rag
ged. They carelessIy throw away
waste into the streets of which they
are part owners, until the town looks
slatternly.
Let us all here in DEBORAH get
this idea well in mind. We are all
united in a purpose in which every
enc has an equal interest, the main
tenance and development of a high
class town. Every one must take
hold and help keep it orderly and
beautiful. Everyone ought to do
something positive to help improve
it. But if you can't set out a tree or
plant shrub, at least refrain from
any damage to its property no matter
how slight.

Keeping Children in School.

The one great fault of the Ameri.
can school system, is that it fails to
bold millions of children beyond the
upper grades of the grammer school.
Children who quit at the seventh
grade go out into the world unified
for life or citizenship
In some cases this is due to poor
teaching. which lacks the power of
keeping children interested. But in
still more cases, it is due to the fact
that parents need, or think they
need the money that children can
earn.
No child should be permitted to
leave, school at premature age
until his parents have been seen and
urged not to spoil the future of
their young people. For children
whose parents do really need the
money, more effort should be made
&c find profitable employment for
them while they attend school.

Thieves shoot and Steal Turkeys.

Thieves Shoot and Steal Turkeys.
A bold piece of thieving was pull
led off the other day on the John
Refs farm.
Mrs Refs had fine flock of tur-
keys which were feeding. in the
woods near the home, when three
parties who were seen skulking a.
long the bank of the creek entered
the woods and fired into the midst
of the flock, killing several of the
larger ones and getting away with
them. Mrs. Refs saw the lawless act
but was unable to protect her flock,
which meant many hard days work
in the summer.
1t does seem strange that there is
no way to protect law abiding citi-
gems from this lawless element who
seem to have no fear. But in our
opinion if all these parolled and par
doned convicts now running at large
were gathered up and sent back to
prison it would help some.-Marble

''CROOEL" HAzELTON BANKERS
Refuse to Give Aid to a Starving
(?) Stranger.

At Hazelton a few days ago, two
hardhearted bank cashiers refused
to loan the money necessary to. keep
a genial travelling man from starya-
ton until a missing expense check
arrived The salesman, who stated
that he represented Hartford
Conn, firm, even offered to put up
his extra fine gold watch and heavy
Masonic ring as security for $3.50
for a couple of weeks. He might
even be able to get along with $50
and he was willing to sign a note
for s65 and let the banker have the
extra SIS for his trouble. But the
first cashier turned him down, and
the next one suggested taking the
watch to the little jewelry store
across the alley. Then the man from
Hartford said he would just step
cut and bring the jeweler over to the
bank. He picked up his watch and
stepped-and he's still out. 1t has
since been learned that the fellow
has been attempting the same game
in other places, and often with sue
cess. 1t is stated that in one day he
put the same kind Of a watch in
three different towns. securing SIS
in each instance. Everyone of them
contains nice little round photo
graph of the wife and children of
the dark, thin-faced travelling man
With the fluent tongue. 1t is believed
that he has the family groups taken
in wholesale quantities. The watches
when examined were found to be of
the kind that are sometimes won on
wheels of fortune"

Opium Production.

Opium is the product of the poppy
which only grows to perfection in a
tropical or sub-tropical climate. The
part of the British empire that pro-
duces the most opium is India, and
there production is restricted. The
poppy may now be grown by individ-
uals or private companies only in
the united provinces, Agra and Oudh.
and In the central Indian native
states. Except in those states the
manufacture of opium is a govern
ment monopoly.

often as not a cape and not a coat
If 1t is the latter. 1t is in the shape of
a redingote, that garment which Par
is insisted upon last summer and
which was treated in a sighting man
ner over here.
Undoubtedly, the kernel of the rea-
son given by the designers for this
new long coat Is that one must
change abruptly from the tailored
coat as 1t existed last season. and that
the modern substitute has a decided
flare below the waist, modelled as 1t
is on the Balkan garment. If the
dressmakers win out in their argu-
ments. then the entire machinery of
street dress will be turned into
another channel from the one 1t pur-
sued last season and the winter be-
fore.

The one-piece frock which is offered
with this conspicuous coat is built on
lines with which we are familiar. The
blouse Is of thin fabric
and highly embelIished. the skirt Is of
opaque material, scant, slightly
longer than it has been. and plain.
The combinations are of fabrics
rather than of colors. The accepted
modern weave of satin, which has a
thread of felt in 1t to stabilize 1t, is

used for the blouse and flannel for
the skirt. Duvetyn is another
favored skirt material with double
georgette crepe for the upper part.
The heated atmosphere of our in
doors demands a thin fabric over the
chest and arms, so it is rare that
wooden is used above the hips. 1t is
at the joining of blouse and skirt that
the dressmakers get their chance to
place an exhibition of what they can
do in ornamentation. Here they use

These patches of material are put to-

brilliancy redeems the soberness of
dark fabric. The idea behind this
workmanship is that it makes the
frock suitable for Gayer occasions
than shopping.
The long coat disgu ses the riot of
brilliancy, and sometimes 1t. too,
shows that the tailor has not been
quite able to suppress the desire to
