 The time of holding the Pri- mary has been changed from Wednesday afternoon so as to include the entire day, some ot the candidates contending that it would deprive some voters from voting.

In order that none may have occasion to complain the change has however been made to an "all day. election.

He was handicapped greatly in having lost his hear Ing some several years ago and 1t was this defect which brought about his untimely end as he couldn't protect him. self from the impending danger. Yet with all of his handicap MT. Hinton was a most efficient officer, a cour- teous, clever and kind friend, and he will be sadly missed by our entire citizenship.

AMONG THE RICE FARMERS

H. o. Penrose and w. P. Dawson were noted among the visitors in Brinkley Sun day. They were en route to Little Rock to assist in getting to connect with our Bankhead Highway at a point a few miles East of Wheatley. My mind runs back to just a few years ago, when a delegation of these clever Hunter build CTS and boosters came to Brinkley to ask our Brinkley men to cooperate with them in getting a rock road into Brink ley. Failing in this they went to Cotton Plant with similar proposition and they were snapped up quick and in less than 60 days had sold over S30O,OO0 road bonds and were going ahead. Now they are go- ing in East of Wheatley and Pm wondering as l write this when our Brinkley people are ever going to wake up and get together in a little team work to build Brinkley? We have the men. who have the brains and ability but without a "meshing of gears," a pull altogether by Ia community organization, nothing counts. When, oh, when?

ed. At this school the luncheon was served by the girls taking. Domestic Science, under the directions of their teacher. In all, the superintendents visited five typical white schools and two typical negro schools, and something good to eat was served at all the white schools. This feature was greatly ap- preciated by the superinten- dents too; for being from 13 to 30 miles out of town at twelve o'clock, as we were, we realiz ed more than ever: You can live without friends, you can live without books, but civiliz- led men cannot live without cooks" All the schools visited have well equipped Home Economics rooms and Manual Training shops, and all, except one, serve hot lunch to the children every day. At some of the schools the mothers, usually two, each day have charge of the lunch room, and in other schools the girls in the advanced classes in cook ing serve lunch every day, and are paid for their services. Soups and sandwiches are sold to the pupils at five cents each. In fact everything is sold at cost; thus the children can have hot lunch at school as cheap as they could bring a cold lunch from home.
 The good roads, transporta- tion, we'll equipped modern buildings with gymnasiums, manual training shops, libra ries, sewing rooms, audi toriums, lunch rooms, etc., be- sides the clean and attractive recitation rooms, make going to school, for Shelby County boys and girls, real living. In every community the school spirit is good. Teachers, pupils and parents, all take great pride in their, school. At one school the Parent-Teacher As sociation gave a reception for the county superintendents, and is was learned that every school has it's Parent-Teacher Association. These associations raise several thousands of dol lard every year, and buy books. pianos, victrolas, play ground equipment, etc. for their schools.
 The visit to these schools was to me, not only pleasant, but it was also instructive. It gave me a broader vision of the county superintendents work. It strengthens my con- viction that the little one teacher schools with from two to fifteen pupils should be con- solidated with other schools that the boys and girls of Ark ansas should be given better opportunities to develope physi- cally, mentally and morally; and these things cannot be satisfactorily brought about until we get good roads, which are essential to good farming, good health, good schools and good religion.

tunity presents itself, he will be able
to define more clearly his position
regarding the country'c foreign poll
