Delivery of mail to some sec tions left without railroad facili- ties by the suspension of the M. and N. A. railroad will be rout- ed through the Searcy postof- flee, according to advice from Postmaster Pilkington. Mail will be sent from here to Armstrong Springs, Letona, Pangburn, He- Der Springs, Shell, Miller, Hig- den and Edgemont as this is the nearest railroad point to many towns in that section. Henry Patterson and James F. Wat kins were at Heber today con- ferring with the peopel of that vicinity with regard to service aha accomot ations from that point. Before the M. and N.. A. railroad was extended south of Leslie, Searcy was the division al point even beyond Heber, 30 miles away. The dirt road which is already fairly good, will be i'm proved and everything possible done for the convenience of the people in coming this way, it is said.
 Some weeks ago County Judg F. o. White began tho work of recostructig the road rom Scar. cy to Pangburn with the giant tractor bought some time ago for this character of work.

The people of Arkansas are aroused as never before over the imperative needs of our pub lie schools. Through various A- gencies, including the State De- partment of Education, the Ma tional Foundations of Various kinds, Federal agencies, county superintendents and Boards oi Education and the Forward Ed ucation Movement, the people are being awakened to the i'm portance of definite action if thc humiliating conditions are to b: remedied.
 Facing the future, education- ally, it will not be amiss to con. slider to what extent education is vital in the future progress and development of the State, There are three fundamntal fac tors.
 1 Natural resources. By this is meant minerals, timber, eli mate, water power, soil facility and other things of that kind..
 ? Native ability of the people, whether they be rugged, sturdy broad shouldered, good type of human beings or weddings, their constitutions sapped by the vices of their ancestors be- fore they were born.
 3. Acquird ability or what is commonly understood to be ed ucation.
 National resources will remain profitless unless through educa- tion the people acquire the skill and ability to develop and util- izc them. All material consid- erations therefore require that the educational program be sup ported to the end that every boy and girl in the state be giv- en an equal educational oppor- tunity.

The KnOcker

After God had finished the rattelsnake, the toad and the vampire, He had some slimy substance left, withwhich He made a Knocker.
 A knocker is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul. a water-soaked brain and a combination backbone, made of jelly and glue and where oth- CT people have their heart he carries a tumor of rotten prin- ciples.
 When a knocker comes down the street, shonest men turn their b.:eks, inc angels weep tears and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.
 No man has a right to knock as long as there is hole of wa ter deep enough to drown him. self in, or a rope long enough to hang his old, dirty, stinking car cass with. Judas was gentle man compared to a knocker, for after betraying his master, he had enough character to hang himself, and a knoccker hasn't.

LITTLE ROCK
NEWS LETTER

This summer will see the gaps Tn most cross country highways closed and automobile tourists may venture into Arkansas this fall with absolute assurance that they can get into and out Of the state without the assist ance of a mule team. It is now possible to go from Little Rock to Memphis with only an occas- lonal gap in the hard surfaced road and these not totaling over 15 miles. The impossible places in the Little Rock and Fort Smith highway have been elim- mated and the route from Little R6ek to Texarkana will be got all the ways-before faA. A few gaps remain in the highway from Little Rock to the Missouri line, but most of these will be closed before fall. This will make possible the issuance for next year of a road map show ing thoroughfares in Arkansas as they exist and not as it is hoped they will be.
