Criticism of methods of the Fed

F. Thomas of Lynchburg, who de-
clared that after allowing contracts
to be made on one basis of exchange
that basis was arbitrarily changed
so that while the obligations of debt
orS were as large during the process
of deflation their debt-paying power
had been decreased.

CHRISTMAS TOYS

An enormous amount of money
has always been spent on Christmas
toys for the children, and it is the
natural expression of love for the
little ones and enjoyment of their
happiness. But sometimes the SIM
pie toy gives more real satisfaction
than the costly one.
Many mechanical toys used to be
sold that were poorly made. They
were elaborate and handsome, and
the children would look at them
open-mouthed for a few days, until
they refused to work. A toy of that
kind does not help child to devel-
op, Children should be taught to pre-
serve their toys, but II they are 80
made that they go to pieces In few
days, the youngster has no incentive
to care for them.
Toys are very useful when they
give child the opportunity to en-
gage In some healthful sport, or
game that develops his initiative, or
when they encourage him to do
something with his hands. A set
OF building blocks for instance, leads
him to exercise skill and imagina-
ton. Substantial and well-built toys
that lead a child to do things for
himself. can be factor in promot-
ing his development.

II every teacher in the county will
send me the names of children In the
Eighth Grade in his or her school,
and indicate the ones to take the
January and the ones to take the
May examinations. shall appreci-
ate letter from any parent in the
county who has boy or girl in the
Eighth Grade in any school in the
county.
II you are interested In your girl
or boy continuing in school, see that
he or she takes the county examin-
alton and gets ready for High
School.
The High School is the Peoples
College" Of America, and every boy
and girl should have the chance in
life that the High School can give.
shall appreciate every teacher
and every parent helping in this
great survey. When State Superin-
tendent Colvin comes to Paris, June

W. J. BRYAN GIVES
 ARKANSAS PRAISE
Always a Friend to State the Great Commoner Writes J. J. Harrison on Forward Education Move
 ment.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.--Arkansas has no warmer friend in the United States than William Jennings Bryan, who has visited the state frequently and has many warm personal friends here. He has just written letter to Major J. J. Harrison, director of the Forward Education Movement in which he expresses his great interest in the campaign that is now being conducted in the state to advance the welfare of our public schools. Writ ing from Miami, Florida, Mir. Bryan says:
 "The training of the mind is sec- ond only to the development of the heart and there is no reason why there should be conflict between the two. The mind is the instrument, the heart the guide. The Bible says, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Because the issues of life are out of the heart and be- cause the thinking that controls our lives is done in the heart it is essen tial that the faith should be strong and the conscience sensitive. But assuming that one has high pur- pose and right conception of life, his education will determine the ex- tent to which he can serve mankind, and the value of his service will measure the reward which he can collect or expect. Just as one can afford t~ suspend chopping long enough to keep the axe sharp, so one can afford to invest whatever time it costs to sharpen the faculties and fit the mind for quick and accurate thought. The time spent in school is more valuable than the same time spent in money getting. The educated person can soon make back all that it cost to secure an education and has be- yond that the infinite satisfaction that come with knowledge. Education opens the libraries of the world and not only enables one to judge the fu- ture by the past, but furnishes a de- lightful and continuing companionship with all who thru literature have sur vived their generation.
 "I wish you success in inspiring the rising generation of Arkansas to seek and secure the physical train ing that will make their bodies strong to resist disease and endure fatigue, and the strength of mind that will enable them to deal suc- cessfully with problems of life. And then I trust that, above all, the school authorities will impress upon each student the fact that obedience unto the heavenly vision" is even more important than strength of body or mind, because it determines the use that will be made of both body and mind"

KU KLUX KHAN HAS
 SECURED bIC FUND
Washington Investigation Disclosee $1,448,710 for Strong Box--Im- proper Use of Mails Is
 Alleged.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Digging in- to the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, the House rules committee developed by testimony today that the organi- zation had taken in $1,488,710 since it's foundation, that the department of justice was still conducting an in- vestigation of it's own and that &C., cording to the klans confidential in- formation to field agents the chief of police of Norfolk, Va, was a mem Der.
 Thru news letters said to have been sent from klan headquarters and not intended for general publication, the statement also was made that the Norfolk chief had promised 260 rifles to the local organization, "in time of trouble,' and that representative Up shaw, Democrat of Georgia, in whose home district the klsn was born, had been put to it to deny membership in the klan and at the time square his conscience as a preacher and church member"
 The imperial wizard of the klan, Wm. J. Simmons, of Atlanta, sat all day in the crowded committee room, and heard witnesses declare that he was not it's actual head, that all pow CTS seemed vested in Edward Young Clarke, head of the publicity Or prop agation bureau, and Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, his assistant. The committee conducting a hearing on resolutions calling for a congressional investiga. tion of the klan, will put the imperial wizard on the stand probably to- morrow. All of the evidence today was by witnesses demanding an inquiry and those who had conducted inde' pendent inquiries for the postofiics department and newspapers.
 o. B. Williamson, a postoffice in. spector, called later in the day, told o1 a ' day preliminary investigation al and around the imperial palace al Atlanta. Mir. Williamson, who pre- scented the news letters in evidence declared their transmission estab lished improper use of the mails ant that they had sent out for the purpose of stimulating a membership drive al $10 head.

ARKANSAS GETS
 US. ROAD FUND
$500, ,000 Obtained as Result of Visit By Arkansas Highway Commission to Washington-sS00.00 .00O More

rom the Fort smith Times Record.

From the Fort Smith Times Record.
 Three hundred thousand dollars gov ernment aid was made immediately available for road work in eastern Ar kansas, $800000 more was made available as soon as the road districts meet Federal road aid requirements and the transfer of war equipment to Arkansas for road work was hastened as a result of the trip of Judge W. A. Falconer and the other members of the state highway commission to Washington.
 "A number of the road projects in the eastern part of the state would have to suspend work unless the gov ernment aid was available" said Judge Falconer in talking of his trip. We satisfied the director of public roads that all the government require ments had been complied with by sev- eral of the districts, and funds amounting to $300,000 are immediate ly available. We were assured that $800,000 more apportioned to other improvement districts would be avail able so soon as the same showing was made.
 To Recover Equipment.
 We also satisfied the director that the highway commission was doing all in its power to recover and pre- serve the war equipment turned over to the state for road use, and an or der was made that the transfer of the equipment be resumed. The equip ment was turned over to the state with the proviso that the title remain in the state. but large part of it had become scattered before the present commission came into office, some of it being sold. The attorney general was instructed to sue for the recov- cry of the latter, and more than 60 per cent has been turned back to the state"
