IMPORTANT THINGS

I ask for some of your space to call attention to two things of great importance to the people of Nevada County. One is the campaign for mem bership in the Arkansas Educational Association which was conducted last week I learn that the number neces- sary to place this county in the 10O per cent list is only 375 and that but Title more than 100 have actually
 joined and paid the small fee. There ought to be more than 1000 men in this county ready and willing to join. What reasonable excuse is there for not joining? Are we not moved by the thought of being 46th among the states of the Union in the mat,y1 of education? Does not everybody under crate government depends on an edu cated citizenship? Is there not a uni versal desire among the men and women of tn s county to have it said of our future citizens that they can all read and write,-that they not only have sufficient book knowledge to make their own arithmetical cal culations and transact their own busi ness affairs but that they have the ability and desire to read current literature, to gather their own infOr- nation and make their own conclu sions about the great political. in dustrial and social problems with which we are always confronted. Df course I understand that we are re- ported 100 per cent as county, but that means that a few citizens just pay the amount necessary in order that we may not be reported delin quent. If ever there was Il me in our history when we should be aroused over the question of education. Is not that time now at hand?
 The other thing to wh ch I wish to call attention is a suggestion which l made more than Il year ago that this |
 county should take definite steps 10 erect suitable and lasting memorial to those brave boys who gave their lives for the cause Of liberty and to make sure that you and could live in the Qu etude of our own home and pursue or chosen profe isioa., ant avocations had no known near relatives who were killed in the wa but certainly one of the most pa heec tragedies wh ch l know Of j. tie gi, ing of life in that SD rit Of high an unsclfish patriotism 70 make the worhl safe for democracy and to bring abou universal peace. II is true that are not keeping faith with these boys neither the dead nor the living Partizan pol ties, that great American by product must show it's willy hand and turn it's devilish tricks, but thk it seems to me is all the more reaso why we should show the just and pr, found gratitude of our hearts to thoe who stood the test for us. take na 1 me or space here to d'aeues tife chm acter of such memorial but call atten ton to our duty and hope that other
 may make suggestions looking to
 orga nization for this purpose.
 ] 1 am aware that tiMe, are kart and in many respects 1t Is most
 critical period. but these th ngs Will
 not be so burdensone that we can not
 and should not do our full duty with i reference to them.

Chinese Shoes Homemade.

There are shoemakers among the
Chinese and shoes of varying grades
are for sale In the shops, but many of
the shoes worn by upper-class Chinese
are products not of the shops but Of
the home. For the Chinese woman of
good family who has been educated in
the old-fashioned way, considers it
both a duty and II pleasure to make
the family shoes, and she lavishes
upon them the money, the leisure, the
taste and skill that do not enter into
the making of the commercial article.
writes Roland GorbOld in Asia Maya
zine.
The more wealthy Chinese men
wear very charming, if somewhat I'M
usual shoes, which might almost be
called slippers. The sOles, very much
turned up at the toe, are made of
bamboo and pith covered with white
linen and are extremely rigid and
light. The uppers of pair in my col
lection are Of pale blue silk, with an
appllqued toe and motifs of purple
and much embroidered in yellow, red
and blue, enriched with gold.

DATES FROM DIVINE RIGHT
"Star Chamber Proceedings" an Echo
of the Days When Kings Could
Do No Wrong.

"Star Chamber Proceeding" is an
expression now almost invariably used
TO denote an official action which is
conducted in secret and, usually, in
high-handed manner.
The phrase comes to us from the
fact that centuries ago there existed
in England an all-powerful tribunal
consisting of a committee of the kings
privy council. The custom was either
instituted or revived by Henry VII,
in 1886
This council had OmnipOtent powers
and was unfettered by rules of law.
1t dealt with civil and criminal cases
alike by bill and information" with
out the aid of jury. and could lnHict
any form of punishment short OF
death.
The original was star chamber
because in the room where the council
met were deposited the Jewish bonds
known as stars from the Hebrew
word shetar, meaning a covenant
