OUR AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS

The members of the state legislat- ure are off on a junketing trip to northern agricultural schools. This is not financed by the state but by private individuals and boards of trade. These individuals and boards of trade hope that the solons will go to the splendid agricultural schools and come back here with the idea of putting our schools on something of basis of those schools which they visit.
 We believe that the first thing that will impress itself upon the mind of these schools of Missouri, Iowa and Illinois will be that the legislature which created the four agricultural schools in Arkansaas made one of the most serious mitakes it was pos sible to make.
 If that legislature had created one school instead of four small ones we could have. had really good school, one that would compare favorably with the Texas or Mississippi A. & Ms
 We do not mean to decry the pres ent schools, but one large school would have been operated so much more cheaply than the four that it seems that some untoward influence must have moved the legislature to create these schools as they did.
 The agricultural school is a fine institution for a state to have and is recognized in most states as one of the most important institutions of learning, and money spent for it's maintenance and upbuilding is one of the best investments any state ever made.
 1t is unfortunate, therefore, that Arkansas cut her appropriation into four pieces in founding an institu- ton of this kind and is compelled to maintain four separate schools at a greatly increased cost and greatly de- creased results.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-09
kETRENCHMENT.

The refreshing news comes from Urbana H., where the members of the Arkansas legislature, headed by Covernor-elect McRae, spent day at the Illinois Agricultural college, that the governor-elect has made the statement that he proposes to cut out all the useless jobs in the state government and apply the money
 bus saved for the benefit of the schools. And the members of the legislature who are in the party have stated that they will back him up.
 Now if they can just all agree upon which are the useless jobs and then proceed to carry out this prom ise it should result in much good to the state. Our schools are sadly in need of additional revenue and we can see no better way of securing some aid for them that in cutting off the salaries of lot of men who are feeding at the public crib with out a commensurate return.
 Of course, the salaries Topped off will not be sufficient to relieve the situation to any great extent, but it will be start and it will get rid of number of leeches who are liv- ing off the state.
 The governor-elect also has other ideas of retrenchment which are borne of his long business experience and as he has no political debts to pay, nor political favors to ask, the people of the state will expect a careful and business-like administra- tion, and not one run by and for the politicians.
 We believe that if the members of the legislature vii let themselves be guided by the advice of Mir. McRae, instead of letting their own petty political ambitions rule them the state will be good deal better off and the members of the legislature will further their political aims to a greater extent than they will by playing politics in the legislature.

SQUARING THE DEAL

Most people are at heart advocates of the square deal. It is natural trait of the American people, and the residents of this community are
 not backward in this respect. Shall we incorporate the spirit of the square deal into our Christmas spirit this year?
 Shall we go even further and make it square deal for ourselves, and for the community that shelters and feeds us?
 Our people for a number of years have enjoyed a large measure of ma tcrial prosperity. This fact is re- tlected in the community life, in the clothes we wear,.in the food we eat, and in every act of our daily ex- istence.
 It will be reflected in the purchases
 9e make for the holiday season, which will be upon liberal scale, though possibly not extravagant. 1t is not within the province of the
 editor to tell our people where to 3pend their money. It is theirs, to spend where and as they think best.
 But a spirit of fairness impels us to say word in behalf of our local merchants-those dealers who have
 stood Loyalty by the community in diversity as we'll as in prosperity. They have purchased heavily in the wholesale markets in order to be able to supply the holiday wants of our people. We are assured that they have priced their holiday offer ings down as low as it possible for them to be sold. They have done their utmost in order to meet the require ments of the public.
 We feel that our people are emil nently fair minded-that they will ex- tend the square deal to the home mer- chant at Christmas time, as they do at other seasons of the year-that they will first examine the stocks of the local merchants before making their Christmas purchase--and, all things being equal, that they will give the local man the benefit of their trade wherever possible without pre- judice to themselves.
 Christmas a time of good cheer, and the square deal increases it an hundred fold.

now under investigation.

There were other scandals during the war, notable among which was the "rain coat scandal" The com nittee which investigated the work at Muscle Shoals also reported evil dence of large waste of money, but after the Investigation this seemed to stop.
 But it seems impossible in this country to carry on big government undertaking without there being also large element of graft.
 The men who were responsible for this waste and graft and thieving should be stood up against the wall and shot. Such wholesale robbery in times of war is worse than treason and the guilty ones should be treated accordingly.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-09
NEED OF THE HOUR.

If you are inclined to be pessin1istic as to the future, forget it. The country is in need of something bet ter than pessimism at this time-and this community is part of this coun- try.
 This is a period of readjustment and reconstruction ,and no country can survice such time without seri- ous disagreements, dissension and confusion.
 We are undergoing our share of it now, and there will be more to fol- low before we can hope to become our normal selves again.
 We of this town are but an atom as compared to the whole country, but the welfare of the nation is as sacred to us as it is to the residents of the greatest metropolis in the land.
 We should each strive to do our utmost toward stablizing conditions and restoring commerce to a level where it can be maintained with jus tice and safety.
 Produce-economize-save.
 Those are the three paramount re- quirements of the day. They repre- sent the only manner in which it is possible to continue prosperity with out first undergoing disastrous pc ,.1al Of ,a1 ov,l at d. precision.
 1t is apparent that with a few ex- captions the country as whole un- derstands and appreciates the situa- ton fairly well, and is disposed to take such action as necessity requires.
 Let it be said that we of the com munity are among those who are pa triotically endeavoring to bring or der out of confusion-that we have a clear perception of the duty of the hour and determination to perform that duty.
 It IS not necessary that we become niggardly in our expenditures, or that we deprive ourselves of any of the necessities or reasonable luzuries of life. The situation does not call for such an extreme.
 But prouuce-economiz
 That means not only the reunion to a sane commercial standard in the immediate future, but a far greater and better country in the years to come.

Every war has had its scandal. r. not sach 2 far cry to the days of he S1aHi | American war when p lad the embalmed beef scandal vherein unscr arrlous contrecto old the government millions of tin If bad beef.
 But it has remained for the shipping board to pull off the greatest stunt in the annals of government.
 The report which has been made to a congressional investigation commit tee states that ,OOO,O0O, 900 has been grossly wasted by this board and it is costing the government $S,- 000,000 a year in salaries for persons to untangle the mess into which the incompetence of the board has been plunged.
 At the time the shipping board was created the country was just enter ing the world war and patriotism was at it's height, but this patriotism seem ed not to have reached the members of the shipping board
 The report talks of mismanage- ment, incompetence, graft, waste, bribery and padded pay rolls, at a time when everybody was denying himself that he might help to finance his part of the great war.
 The enemies at home have been in- fintely worse than the alien enemies who were seized and imprisoned.
 Some of the witnesses called be- fore the committee testified to such items as bill for $523,O0O being paid twice by board, bill for $161 for putting on a hinge worth S3 cts. fresh water worth 90 cents ton be ing sold to the board at $25 ton. As many as 2,400 fraud cases art
