EyERYBoDY's BUSINESS.

There two topics upon which agreement Is
general The first is that business has persistently
gone to the dogs" in the past few years, although
it has just persstenty righted itself and seems
fair road to normally" The second Is
that government costs too much.
One condition is largely the cause Of the other.
The excessive cost of government has thrown an
unbearable burden business The multiplicity
of taxes needs prolonged discussion Business
has been taxed whenever it has exposed vulner-
able spot
That being true, the business Of Albu-
querque should take interest in two meetings Of
the week. The Taxpayers association will meet
today This organization has been working to keep
down tax levies in cities counties and in the state.
John T. Pratt, chairman OF the national budget
commission, is to speak Thursday evening his
organization being particularly interested in the
proper development of national thrift through the
medium of budget.
These two organizations seem to present an en-
tire chain covering governmental expense. Tho
one deals with the situation; the other touches the
administration at Washington. The success of both
i'm theory at least-woud give us governmental
supervision at the lowest possible cost.
There have been times when the Journal has
not been in hearty sympathy with the specific pro-
posals of the Taxpayers association. The paper
has however, never doubted the sincerity of the
associations officers. In the main. It's effort has
been rightly directed
Some have been disappointed by the actions of
Charles Dawes and his national budget commits
sion which Chairman Pratt Is supporting. Most OF
these people have had special axes to grind but
were ruled away from the grndsone by Mr.. Dawes
Admitting the possible faults OF both organiza-
lions to be represented here this week, there IS
undoubted merit in each The taxpayers OF the
state large as we'll as small should determine to
attend both meetings. more business in govern
ment and less government In business" has been
a catch phrase too long 1t Is everyone's task u

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
FOREIGN POST OFFICES IN CHINA.

The Washington conference, through the com
mitee on Far Pacific and Far Eastern questions,
took definite step towards achieving administra
tive and territorial integrity for China when that
committee, in behalf on the participating powers
voted yesterday under certain conditions to with
draw by January l. 1923. foreign post office agen-
cies from China. The maintenance by foreign
powers Of their own post offices has for many
years offended Chinese national self respect 1t
has done material hurt we'll AS long foreign
countries have maintained post offices at MANY
points In Chinese territory the operation Of these
postal services has deprived the Chinese govern
ment of considerable sources OF revenue, and the
loss of these potential of revenue has added
materially to the difficulties with which the Chin
ese government has had to contend.
The powers concerned have shown q commend
able eagerness to in Chna's desire to real
lie her territorial and administrative integrity,
eagerness which augurs we'll for the full realization
of the Chinese program. The foreign powers orig
inally established their own post offices because
the Chinese postal system of the past was notori-
ousy inefficient; in common with other govern
mental agencies, 1t mismanaged, slow and un-
reliable But in recent years, China has done mucn
to remedy these faults and although the posta
service of the Chinese republic doubtless falls some
what short of the efficiency of the American, the
British and the French, 1t Is efficient enough, by al
accounts to handle satisfactorily the mail Of for
egn firms and individuals.

ENTERING THE WOODS.

Formal acceptance, ain principle and spirit" OF
the Hughes naval limitation plan. by the repre-
sentatives of the other powers, and the reference
OF the program to a committee of admiras from
each nation to report experts upon 1t, is, Of
course, far from conclusive but 1t is tacit recog-
milton Of its otherwise unanswerable directness.
Possibly the actual outcome will depend more on
the related problems of the Pacific and Far East
than on the superficial notifications to be dis
cussed by the naval experts.
If there is prospect Of reaching an equal agree
ment on these issues there will be no reason for
eyading the naval program, but should that dis
cussion prove Improbable 1t can readily be imag-
tned that the failure agree Far Eastern poll

THE SILENT ONE.

THE gift of words who have no currency
OF ready speech with which 10 represent
The stored up gold of my hearts treasury
Love seals my lips and sorrow makes me dumb
I have no words to tell my tenderness;
Joy stills my tongue, and sympathy
That shakes my soul I yet can not express.
Thoughts crowd on thoughts-yot words die on my
lips;
have no tests no raery to give,
All If I could cry out to those that pass
As in my House Of Silence here l liVe
The years 60 blythe years that make me old!
Each one leaves more silent, more alonet
And they who pass still call proud and cold
Though God knows l but tho silent one

UNCLE vEGGILY's NEW EooI


Come here q moment, viii you.
please?' called Nurse Jane Fuzzy
to the bunny rabbit gentleman in
the hollow stump bungalow ono
morning.
II can't, just now" answered
Mr., Longears. I'm looking at the
holes"
Looking ut the holos?" cried
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. ~ hat In the
word do you mean, Wiggy my
dear? Are you looking at the
holes In a sugar cookie or at q
mouse hole? Don't tell me Jollio
or Jillie Longtail has gnawed a
hole in my floor."
"Oh, no. the little mice children
haven't done anything like that
laughed Uncle Wiggily. with II
twinkle OF his pink nose "Th ,
holes I am looking at are in M
boots, shall have to get new
pair"
DO you mean a new pair 81
holes 2" asked Nurse Jane.
"Of course not!' chuckled Tn
Gle Wiggily. 81 mean a new pair
of boots. I'll be back as 5000
as / can, Nurse Jane" he went
on. I'm going to get a new pair
OF boots. Winter il coming AMI
I'd better have high boots instead
of shoes"
So Uncle Wiggily hoped over
the fields and through the woods,
and soon he came to the place
where Mr.. Whitewash, the polar
bear gentleman, had started boot
and shoe shop.
Here you are, Uncle Wiggily!'
said Mr.. Whitewash, s he lifted
down from the shelf some boots.
Just what you need. Fine, styl-
ish, shiny boots. So glossy you
can see your pink nose shine in
them as in a looking glass"
"They are nice boots" spoke the
bunny uncle. But will they fit
my paws"
"They'll fit you like the paper
on the wall" laugher Mr.. White
wash. Here, slip your paws into
them"
Uncle Wiggily did so, but, wher
he started to walk about. lool
of pain came over his face and
he limped a little.
whats the matter?" asked tbs
gentleman bear.
TOO tight! Much too tightr
said Uncle Wiggily. "These new
boots pinch and hurt my paws"
New boots always do that,
said Mr.. Whitewash. you JUS
wear them a bit--break them in
you know, and they'll be all right.
I'm not SO sure Of that" muir

INJURED Uncle Wigeily. "but I'll try.
I'll wear them home and carry my
old shoes"
Soon the bunny rabbit gentle
man was hopping over tho fields
and through the woods, wearing
his new boots and carrying his
old shoes. But Uncle Wiggily did
not hop very fast. In fact, he went
more and more slowly, and he
seemed in great pain. AT last he
said;
81 cant stand this any longer!"
Down he sat on log, and he was
Just starting to take off his new,
pinching boots, whea, all Of u sud-
don, through the bushes came
bursting the Wcozie Wof.
"Oh, hol oh, ho!' cried the
wolf. rive caught you Uncle
WigSily, l have you this time!

ton. Naval agreement with Britain can apparently
be had at any time. Japan at first signified an al
most equal readiness but 1t Is obvious that this
is conditional on satisfaction in the Orient.
The question then becomes whether Japan can
be made content with equality of opportunity ana
whether Japanese satisfaction can be secured with
out injustice to China to those interests OF Rus
STA which the United States is understood to cham
pion. Upon whether this discussion leaves japan
satisfied or resentful will depend the tate or the
naval program and the peace OF the future 1he
conference, instead of being out OF the Wooos' Is

Attending Singing;
Eating Big Dinners

East Weakley, June 27.-Little
Barbara Dining is slowly improv7
ing.
DIR. Ned Goldsby's wife died at
her home at Henry. Mrs. GOldsby
was formerly resident of this COM
munity and had a host of warm
friends here. She leaves husband
and one son who reside at Henry.
Most every one in this community
attended the all-day services at Old
Union Sunday. One of the main
features of the program was the
good dinner at the noon hour. There
seems to be one of the hungriest
crowds around this section, as when
there is an all-day service, they
come from all directions and what
they do for the dinner is plenty.
The ladies of the Old Union COM
munity sure do carry plenty of din
ner for all who may attend. The
singing serv ce was conducted by
Prof. Insco of near Palestine.
Tumbling singing class attended
the all-day service at Cone Water
last third Sunday. There were a lot
of singers from Big Sandy and other
places and all joined in and had one
of the best singings outside of con-
vention. Needless to say that there
was plenty of dinner for all, and
Hutch Clark says that he made full
hand in this part Of the program.
Mr.. George Atkins was the only
one who had crop of wheat to
thresh this time. Makes us think
that everyone should sow small
acreage to wheat this fall SO as to
have biscuit every day, instead of
Sundays and birthdays.
Many of our folks will attend the
4th of July celebration at Martin
and Mckenzie this tine. Some say
that we'll probably have rain on that
day, as many times it has rained out
the 4th entirely.

Find IL in Fire Ruins;
Believed Slain First

Mayfield, KY, June 26.-Charred
beyond recognition and with only
parts of limbs, trunks and skulls re-
covered, the bodies of II persons,
representing two families, believed
first to have been murdered, were
found burned to death early tbs
morning at the home of Ernest Law
renee, six miles north of this city
near Hickory Grove. The fire which
destroyed the log and frame three
room farm house started about mid
night and lasted until nearly 4
o'clock this morning. When the fire
had subdued enough for neighbors
to reach the victims there was hard
ly enough flesh and bones left tC

A coroner's jury declared thai
foul play was responsible for the
tragedy, scouting the idea that II
persons sleeping in downstairs
room could burn alive like rats IN
a trap, with door and two windows
easily accessible through which t.
make their escape. The dead are:

Gentlemen:
l beg to call your attention to
Chapter 100, Acts Of 1921, copy
of which is sent you under separate
cover, under the provisions Of which
the county courts of the several
counties of the state shall, at their
July session Of this year select a
county board of education, which
body shall have authority ove' and
control of all of the county schools,
both elementary and high.
"This new county board of elu-
cation is to consist of seven members
from the county at large, elected for
one, two, three, four, five, six and
seven years, respectively, and there
after, one elected each succeeding
year for term of seven years.
"The one-board system Of admins
tration will promote unity of plan
and purpose in all county schools,
while board of seven members will
give fair representation to all Sec
tions and interests of the county.
"The long tenure of office OF
board members will guarantee con-
tinuity of educational policy. FIRE.

the county board of education re-

teachers, which means more loss
of time and opportunity to the pupil
who must learn the method of the
teacher before he can progress in
his studies. 1t also frequently re-
suits in unwise changes in location
of schools. Under one continuous
board there should be a more eco
nomic business administration and
higher degree of efficiency in gen.
