We Know. Brother

The publisher of an exchange confesses that he is somewhat puzzled. He says: "One man stopped his paper after reading what we had to say about cer- tain happening. and two others came in and subscribed for a year after reading the same article. Several others stopped to com. mend us on our attitude, and two or three other persons came in to tell us that we had our wires crossed. So there you are. One can easily see how utterly impos sible it Is for a newspaper to please everyone. But it is this difference of opinion that makes the wheels go round-so why should we worry ?"- Coraopolis (Pa.)

School Interests

In line with the announcement made by Sup't Agee in these col umns last week, the plans and purposes" of the School Interest Column are here given.
 The plan is to furnish the read CTS of The Spectator a sort of weekly bulletin pertaining to the schools and school work.
 The purpose is to aid in devel- oping and maintaining in school affairs a public interest commen- surate with the importance of efficient school service.
 Accordingly. the following classes of good people should be invited to notice that the eyes of the neighborhood, the county. the state and the nation are upon them now more critically than ever before.
 These classes of good people include the grumbling taxpayer. the sleepy school director and the unenthusiastic teacher.
 Also. accordingly. the following classes of better people should be assured that they are not stand ing alone in their demand for such educational forces as will make of their children high grade American citizens and will give Arkansas a respectable standing in the sisterhood of the United States. These classes of better people include those taxpayers who would, if necessary. cheer fully pay beyond the present legal rate: those alert directors who see that their schools are equip ded with the best things avail able. and those open-eyed teach CTS whose muscles are tense with the desire to render better service.
 It is the purpose of this column to work to these ends.
 The writer has no personal grudge against anybody and he has mo axe to grind" but he believes that Arkansas children

Cotton Is Chief, But You
 Need a Hog Crop

Cotton should remain the chief money crop of the South and of the average farmer. but the most economical production of cotton or any other crop can only be ob- tained on rich soil. Therefore. the growing of other crops, par ticularly legumes. is essential to economical cotton production. But when legumes and other feed crops are grown, even when the legumes are grown for the pur- pose of increasing the organic matter and nitrogen in the soil, livestock is essential, because they offer the most economical method of disposing of these crops without the removal of the plant foods they contain from the farm.
 This is the reason the Southern farmer, even the cotton grower, should increase rather than de- crease the hog population of his tarm Progressive Farmer.

Pershiing's Message
Keep Your Ideals"

Washington, Nov. 10-Joining in the national observance of the second anniversary of the sign- ing of the armistice, heads of the nations military and naval forces today issued messages to the per- sonnel of the army and navy and to the veterans of the World War now in civil life.
 Today the army salutes it's own-lts fallen heroes," Secre- tary Baker said. Tt is for us to emolazon their glory in imperish- able memorials; to engrave their devotion in our hear ts, and to dedicate ourselves to a perpetua- ton of the principles for which they fell. "
 Declaring events of the two years since the signing of the armistice have caused many of us to lose the holy joy of that day." Secretary Daniels admon- ished the navy to dedicate itself to the same ideals which gave immortal glory to our American youths of 19l7-18."
 General Pershing characterized Armistice Day as the Twentieth Century Independence Day for the world" He charged the men who served under his command in the war to keep before them in peace the ideals for which they fought, and said the interests of the nation will be well directed and fully safeguarded by this great citizen army of veterans"
 Maj. Gen. Peyton c. March, chief of staff. said:
 ''On the second anniversary of Armistice Day we must turn our thoughts from the strife of poi- tics, from the urge of business to acclaim again our army in the World War"

Community Singing

More than ordinary interest at- taches to the successful all-day singing at the court house last Sul day, as this was the first of a series of such community gather ings to be held twice a year, ac. cording to the plans of those be- hind the movement.
 Community gatherings are ex. tremely wholesome and should be revived and encouraged. In for mer days such events were con- mon and were much enjoyed but in recent years the people have considered themselves too busy to participate in such things. County fairs, picnics. singings anything which brings the peo- pie together in a social way is beneficial. People should know their neighbors, as this encour- ages community fellowship and harmony that is necessary. In the old days, when we lived in the country or the small town we knew every man. woman and child in the community, and even if one did know what his neigh bors would have for breakfast the next morning, they were good old days. It is far better to live among friends than to exist among strangers. There is much good in every person but people must become acquainted in order that one may discover the good in the other.
 Community singing is an excel way to become acquainted. When people meet together and sing to- gether they will part as the best of friends. Singing is good for the soul. We all remember what Shakespeare said:
 The man that hath no music in 1 himself,
 Nor IS not moved with the con
 cord of sweet sounds,
 Is fit for treasons. stratagems
 and spois;
 The motions of his spirit are
 dull as night.
 And his affections dark as Ere
 bus
 Let no such man be trusted" l Some one has said: Let me write the songs of a nation and l care not who writes the laws," mes ming that songs have a much greater effect upon people than the laws. Music makes morale for people at peace just as it does for an army going into battle. There should be more singing community singing-and there would be less unrest, as the singer knows the value of harmony and cooperation.
 There should be a revival of old-time music and young people who attend community singing may learn the old songs that our fathers and mothers sang. They should learn to appreciate this class of music which has to a large extent been displaced by razz and jazz, which is demoral- izing to the individual and the nation. Exchange.

AUTUMN
By J. H. WHITTINGToN

Autumn winds are blowing, The leaves are falling fast; All nature soon will tremble C 'NeathWinter's chilling blast The summer, with its sunshine, And flowers, sweet and rare Are fading from our vision And dying everywhere
 The seasons ever teach us That time is fleeting fast, That joys are never constant, Though sweef, they cannot last; Life's Springtime soon is ended, Life's Summer soon is OCT; Life's pathway soon is wended, And time knows us no more.

Closing of The
 Chautauqua Forum

The four days of Chautauqua closed Monday evening with an exc client program rendered by the "Old Home' singers in cos- tune worn a half century ago. In the afternoon of the closing day of the Chautauuua Forum, Raymon E.

His theme, The Spirit of the New World, or, the test of Democracy, was full food for thought and was we'll received by the large audi ence.
 Friday was the big day of the Chautauqua Forum when the Barnaby's gave oHe of the best programs of the Chautauqua. Their entertainment was varied and highly classical. They are artistic entertainers and their program was not overshadowed by any other throughout the week. The Barnaby's will always find a cordial and hearty welcome at Ozark.
 Miss Jane Gould very delight fully entertained a large audi ence at the opera house Saturday afternoon. Miss Gould is an ex- perienced reader. Her selections were well chosen and the even ing was one of pleasure and en- enjoyable entertainment.

that sugar was being sold by a GER
tain wholesale house in Memphis At
1880 while the wholesale house in
Oxford was charging 1915 for sugar.
Inc wholesale people here claim
that sugar costs them something
over TIC per pound. The inyestiga-
ton revealed the fact that on Feb1u-
ary Z, the wholesale price of sugar
was 16c, while many retailers, who
could get sugar at all, were charging
from 22 l-2 to 25c per pound. There
was noticeable shortage of sugar
ABOUT that time. The Committee
passed a resolution and requested
that the chairman have notice
printed in the Eagle urging the
merchants of Lafayette county to
stay within the bounds of profit set
