RECRUITING A PUBLIC SCHOOL
 ARMY.

Now that peace has been declared with the Central powers, greater and more constructive army is being recruited in Arkansas for the purpose of promoting the greater efficiency of the public school system.
 This is being done through the agency of the Forward Education Movement, which has undertaken to enroll every teacher in Arkansas, as we'll as 25,000 citizens in great campaign designed to provide equal opportunities for every boy and girl in Arkansas, whether in the special city districts or the small rural dis trict.
 Already, State Director ]. ]. Har- rison reports 100 per cent enrolment of the teachers in Polk, Baxter, Mon roe and Randolph counties, and many others approaching this goal.
 The Central Committee of 100 is promptly reporting the lists of actual workers in the various counties, the purpose being to enlist not fewer than LOGO men and women who will begin work at once of securing mem bers for the organization.
 Later, it is the purpose of the Citizens Section, which is directing this great movement, to make an ap- peal to civic organizations, such as Rotary, the Lions Club, Civitan, Kiwanis, and similar groups for a loo per cent enrolment of their members, and to all who comply with this request a special certificate will be issued.
 To open the public schools to all and thereby reduce to minimum the amount of illiteracy Is the mission of those who are promoting the move ment.
 The importance of the public schools is shown in the following paragraph from a letter by E. w. Gates, the Crossett lumberman:
 "As employer of thousand men or more for a great many years, find very frequently that we are hand icapped in advancing certain men, or desiring to have certain work done, and find those before us are not qualified on account of the lack of, many times, even high school education"
 At a time when 1t was evident that Arkansas was to become the leading oil state of the country, the oppressive influences of gigantic monopolies began to be felt. Plainly speaking, 1t appears that the Standard Oil Com pany is throttling, or at least secur- ing control of, the oil situation throughout the country. Last fall

inc governor was never at any tune seriously concerned by the opposi- ton. but with characteristic Scotch persistence went on his way compla- gently. His experience, however, was not such that 1t is very probable that he would risk another session with the legislators unless conditions arose making such a step necessary. Neith- CT is it believed that the public in general would look with favor upon an extra session for any purpose at this time. So, all rumors Of this character may be dismissed readily as unfounded.
 Indications are that the assessments made by the various county assessors will show reduction this year in the aggregate valuation of personal property. This is almost inevitable when the great slump in prices and values is considered. Commodities of all kinds are from 25 to 50 per cent lower than they were at assess ment time last year. It is estimated by revenue experts that there will be a reduction of $25,000,000 to $3O,- 100000. It is believed, however, that the realty assessments will show little or no reduction, as the State Tax Commission has endeavored to maintain the standard of this source of revenue. With increasing expenses and decreasing taxes, the perennial problem of taxation will be even more complicated.

Many of the small producers are being forced out of business and frequently into liquidation because they find it impossible to produce oil on the narrow margin allowed by the ruinously low price of crude. The Standard Is complicating the situation by entering the producing field, whereas it has been con6ning its operations to refining.
 These conditions are undoubtedly exercising a restrictive influence up on production and have greatly re- tarded development, in new and un- proven fields. Despite the fact that the Union county field has been proven to be one of the marvels of oil history, the influence of the Standard policy is being felt there. Notwithstanding these handicaps, the men who are promoting the Arkan- sas oil fields are courageously con- tending for the establishment of an industry, which, under more propiti- ous conditions, will bring a golden flood of wealth into the state. Some are predicting that the tide will turn next fall and that the price of crude will return to above $2.00, at which price 1t can be produced profitably and with generous returns for those who invest their money in wells and refineries. New fields are certain to be developed, although more slowly than would be done under more ia vorable conditions.
 From time to time, rumors more or less vague and uncertain are cir culated to the effect that there is likely to be an extra session of the legislature. There is no prospect whatever of such an event. Governor MeRae has never for moment seri- ously considered such contingency. No problem has yet presented itself which he considered of sufficient ur- geney to require so radical a solu- tion. Governor McRae's experience with the last legislature was not an unmixed pleasure. Ii began all right, but breach soon appeared which widened as the day of adjourn ment approached. There was always large and influential element sup porting the governors measures, and

ADJUSTMENTS
BERT LYTELLIS
CAVE MAN LOVER
IN NEW PLAY

Bert Lytelle is a cave man lover in
1.-THE Misleading Lady," the big
Metro special feature in which he
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
today. The role of Jack Craigen is
something entirely different from
what Lytel, usually plays, for it is
comedy all the way through, and the
most delicious kind of COMEDY at
that. "The Misleading Lady" is a
wonderful picture wonderfully acted.
Lytell as Craigen, an engineer late
1y returned from Africa to New York,
proposes 10 stage struck society
girl, Helen Steele. He then finds
that it was frame-up and she only
made him propose to prove to a
millionaire friend that she has talent
enough to play the leading feminine
role in his little theatre" Craigen
in anger, abducts her to his hunting
lodge and there alternately tames her
wild spirit and wooes her until she
learns to love him.
Today's bill would be good if there
wasn't another thing on it besides
Bert Lytell, but there are two other
unusually good pictures, two-reel
comedy and the ever popular Outing

HISTORY REPEATS
ITSELF IN "LAST
OF MOHICANS"

Early American history is graph
cally represented on the screen in
Maurice Tourneur's new special film,
1.-The Last OF the Mohicans" which
will be seen at the Augusta Opera
house on Friday and Saturday
The actual event repeated was the
horrible massacre of Fort William
Henry. New York, which took place
on Aug. 10. 1857. Strangely enough.
Tourneur filmed the identical scenes
on the tenth of August, 1920, and for
a time it Cooked as if the calendar
had turned back to colonial days so
realistic was the big scene.
1t was a bloody affair, but only one
gallon of G!l Cerine blood was spilled
over the ground at the Tourneur
studio. Montcalm, the French gen.
eral, set out from Canada with saw
ages as his allies, determined to cap
ture the British forts. The general,
Col. Munro and thousands of soldiers
and Indians lived again in the film
scenes.
This special picture comes with an
all-star casI beaded by such we'll
known players as Wallace Berry, Al
bert Roscoe, Joseph Singleton. Bar
bara Bedford, Lillian Hall and Henry
Woodward with an array of player
talent capable of carrying a picture
unaided.
Two other good things will be on
the Opera House program: THE
Fighting Terror" a two-reel Western
drama, and THE Sand Man." a Van
ity Fair comedy.-Adv.

pany.

In the course of theatrical events
the real substantial achievements
what may be counted as genuine
successes ere far and few between
and even 50 but a decidedly limited
number of plays carry an impressive
ness sufficiently strong to arrest the
public in such manner as will pro-
woke general favor for any great
length of time
NO presen. day manager realizes
and appreciates the force of this con-
tentlon from more logical point of
view than does Joseph w. Payton,
who announces for his this seasons
stock company's offerings a list of
dramatic and comedy plays which
nave proved of special value as en-
tertainment of high degree and of
such quality that their appeal cam
not fail to touch the sensitive spot of
the most cordial appreciation.
Manager Fayton, whose admirable
organization comprises artists of dis
tinction and whose presentations of
plays are invariably attended by
scenic and property detail of abso-
lutely perfect completeness, will be
in possession of the Opera House all
of next week during which period he
will stage "Parlor, Bedroom and
Bath" please Get Married" "At
9.45," Fair and Warmer" peg O.
My Heart" and "The Common Law"
all plays of unusual recent success
and combining a diversified array of
elements such as the great masses of
theatregoers delight in for the pur-
pose of insuring pleasurable pastime.
Born of u ripe experience in pro-
viding for the wants of a discrimi-
mating audience, Manager Payton has
always felt the pulse of entertain
ment seekers, as it were, and there
fore. knows exactly how to cater to
their best desires. No matter what
the royalty fees demanded and re-
CARELESS of expenses entaiIed in maxi
ing the production of picturesque in
terest his sole object is to present
plays at popular prices with a proper
iegard for adequate atmosphere and
acting. Hence il is AL
ways foresone conclusion that the
Joseph w. Payton Stock Company
continues 20 occupy standing of
exceptional excellence and is well
worthy the admiration and respect
the amusement patrons bestow upon
it-Adv
