II is estimated, on a basis Of a
QUESTIONABLE study made by the chill
dren's bureau of the United States
Department Of Labor, that $4,000
children were brought before the
courts IN the United States in a year.
Of these. $1,000 came before courts
not adapted to handling children's
cases. Although every state, except
one, had laws providing for Juvenile
probation, according to Investigations
OF the bureau, less than half of the
courts hearing children's cases actu-
ally had probation service. The ma
jority OF the courts failed to make
adequate investigation of the child's
home and family circumstances, his
physical and mental condition and his
personal tendencies.

Wakefield IL, Hurley 3.

With a patched up nine Hurley
went up against the strong Wake
field team with the nightly Mich
aelson in the box last Sunday and
was handed a trimming to the tune
of II to 3. Hurley was compelled
to use three new players on account
of the regular players taking berths
with other teams. That the re-
cruits were unseasoned is attested
by the errors, II in all, which were
responsible for the big score piled
up by the visitors. Red Erspam-
er worked on the mound for Hur-
lev and with proper support would
have made game of it. Harring-
ton, who has been playing at
second, donned an Ironwood un-
form and Dudra deserted and went
to Rhinelander. Michaelson was
in his usual good form and kept
the hits we'll scattered. A large
number of Wakefield fans ac-
companied their team.
Following is the tabulated score:

Probably about this time great
many of our young people are won
dering what they are going to do IN
the fall. Every fall for the past twelve
years, or for as long as they can
remem Der, school has !0omed ahead
of them as the only possible solution.
But some of them finished school in
June and now they are trying to decide
just what to do.
To these we would say, unless there
is some absolutely unsurmountable
obstacle. complete your education IN
some good college Probably we are
not the 0n.y ones to give you advice.
You have doubtless been hearing it
from al! sides.
But getting down to brass tacks
it is after all simple matter to de-
eide for or against the value of a
college education. Just as easy as il
is to decide whether Il farmer should
use the tools and machinery to work
his farm, which the twentieth cen
tury has given him, or whether he
should use the tools aid machinery
of two centuries ago.
Possibly some people who do not
realize the actual need for a college
degree have said to you, pointing to
some man who has achieved fame,
Look at him. He never went to
college" True enough, but he be
longed to different age, and 3ust SO
surely as you do not take advantage
OF the tools this age has given to you.
just so surely you will find yourself
on sn exact parallel with farm that
is worked now with eighteenth CEN
fury machinery.
And college education has been
made possible for everyone now. i
is not the luxury for the idle rich
that 1t WAS twenty years ago. If you
have the proper spirit you can make
go OF it. If you don't get good
education in this day and age. il is
merely due to your own inertia and
lack of ambition. And the incon-
Venient part of it is. employers are
going to know that and the lack of
a degree will be a blot on your
character as we'll as on your educa-
ton and earning capacity. 30 con

In spite of the fact of declining
rural population, we see a crop In
1920 which. while not the largest we
ever had, exceeds that of many pre-
vious years when the farm population
was much greater. This reveals that
machinery ana better cultural methods
are ayerting the threatened evil Of
loss Of farm labor, and that we may
have been oyerconcerned and too fear
full Of the future. says st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Economic conditions have
the world-old habit of adjusting them
selves. We live in a world Of con-
slant change, of new devices TO meet
new conditions. The world was never
so sure of its ability to produce and
distribute an abundance of food as 1t
is today. We may be sure that the
resourcefuI American people will find
ways 10 overcome the menace Of ag-
ricultural insufficiency.

10 eat it, learn the taste of unaccus-

the teacher what it all means, the most

sippi. 1t is said that the early
settlers found in this territory,
an Indian tribe named Arkansas,
but the actual meaning of the
word is not known. 1t probably
has some relation to the word
Kansas. There has been much
confusion as to the correct pro-
nunciation of Arkansas. To re-
move this as far as possible a
resolution was passed by the
state senate in 1881 which speci-
fed that the true pronunciation
was "Ar-kan-saw."

part of the Louisiana Purchase.
It's first settlement was made by
the French about 1855. Except
for the few years during which
by secret treaty it was ceded to
Spain, it remained under French
rule, until purchased by the Uni
ted States in 1903. For nearly
ten years after this, it was a
part of Louisiana territory. With
the admission of the State of
Louisiana in 1872 tbis northern
section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory. In 1919 there
was another partition and Ar
kansas territory was created,
which included the present state
and what later was called Indian
territory.
Due to the reports of an early
explorer named Pike, who visited
this region in 1906, the incor-
rect idea was generally accepted
that most of the expanse of
plains east of the Rockies was
a vast desert. This idea per-
sisted to such an extent that as
late as 1850 the western plains
were called in the school geOg-
raphies 1.-THE Great American
Desert" Adventurous settlers,
especially from the South, found
conditions in Arkansas quite 9TH
erwise, however, and by 1888
Arkansas was admitted as the
twenty-ffth state of the Union
with an area of $3.50 square
miles.
The natural resources of the
state are considerable. There
are the mineral springs of me-
dieinal value, which have been
placed under governmental con-
troll at Hot Springs.
