NEWS AND COMMENT

used for a good purpose was demon
strated last Sunday evening when the
pastor of the local Presbyterian
church used the shooting of the late
Chas. A. Hanson as the subject for
sermon. Probably, more properly
speaking, he got the subject for his
sermon from the incident.
AS result of the announcement
that the meeting would be held H<In
memorial of the late Chas. A. Han
son" many people who had not been to
church for years We're there and heard
a good sermon. Frequently we allow
our curiosity to draw into the right
way but most generally it leads US in
the wrong direction.
Curiosity, or love for adventure, is
really to blame for leading young
people into the kind of life which was
lived by Hanson and that life will
generally end disastrousIy as it did
with Hanson.
The leading thought of the sermon
was that it is not necessary for any
person to follow the paths of sin il
he is seeking an adventurous life. The
life of Theodore Roosevelt, Livingston
and others and the life of Jesus Christ
were used to prove that point. There
is plenty of adventure in living the
correct life and it is not necessary to
seek to earn the wages of sin.
Another thought which was brought
out was that if you seek adventure
get the job of an officer and make an
honest effort to enforce the Jaws.
There will be plenty of opposition to
add excitement to the effort and some
of the opposition will come from
people who hold themselves as being
ttgood citizens. Such a condition is
deplorable but it is none the less true.
1t is not unusual that officers, sworn
to enforce the law, will wi1lful1y
laugh at law violations when com
mitted by their friends.
1t is no wonder that anarchy exists.
Also there may be a good excuse at
this time for the existence of the Ku
KIux Khan.
But the wave of crime is not con-
fined to any local territory. It exists
all over the world and is an outcome
of the war. 1t will be a hard fight
but victory will crown the WORK of the
law and order element if they chang
to the binder.
We have a lurking notion that the
thing which is now holding back the
grain markets, is the tendency of the
farmer to market his grain post
haste. Last year showed just the re
verse of this situation when the farm
er held off for higher prices and would
not go near the market. We all re-
member the result of his mis- judg-
ment.-Sugarman' Indicator.

KNIGHTS OF KU KLUx KHAN

one of their appearances: Dressed
in full regalia of the knights of the

down the Main streets of Beggs last
night while hundreds of people stood
in amazement and watched the silent
figure on its journey He came from

DAIRYMEN CONTINUE
BIG MILK SHIPMENTS

Today's output of the Conway
dairy station was 100 gallons of milk
and 80 gallons of cream, being equal
to the large shipments made last week
Mondays consignment was of $50 gal
Ions of milk and 80 gallons of cream
Manager R. L. Folts said that the
cooperative dairymen are holding
their production at the maximum,
and that additions to the shippers
are being made occasionally.
With the coming of hot weather,
prices paid for milk and cream are
expected to climb. Cool weather
keep down the sale of ice cream and
resulted in less profit from shipments
the first half of May. An improve
rnent is expected for the last half con-
cluded today, and through the other
summer months.

URGE NO DELAY IN
SALES TAX RELIEF
SCHOOL BOARD MEETS
Out of 60 Districts, Nine Vote Less
Than Limit-Returns Not
Yet Complete.

| Adoption by the citizens and mer-
chants of the proposed sales and lux
ury taxes for the financial relief of
the Conway public schools without
further delay was urged by tae board
of directors at meeting yesterday
afternoon, when the board was Or
ganized following the recent school
election.
Speaking for the board William r.
James said today it was absolutely
impossible for the directors to elect
a superintendent and faculty for the
next school year unless revenue in
addition to that provided by the reg
ular taxes is provided. the banks hav-
ing declined to continue for another
year the old plan of cashing the dis
trict's warrants. In the meantime,
he stated, the district is liable to lose
the services of some of its best teach
ers, one having already accepted a
position elsewhere on account of the
of the local situation.
Mrs. S. G. Smith, the first woman
in Faulkner county, if not in the state,
to be elected as school director, took
the oath of office at the meeting, as
did DIR. I. n. McCollum, who was re-
elected. W. A. Gibbon, president of
the old board nominated Mrs. Smith
for president, but she declined to ac
cept the place, stating that she pre-
ferred to serve ''in the ranks Mr..
Gibbon was thereupon reelected pres
ident of the board and E. H. Allison
was chosen as secretary, succeeding
w. B. Clayton, who retires from men,
bership on the board.
On account of other conflicting
tasks, members of the committee ap-
pointed at the recent mass meeting
to arrange a canvass for signatures
to an agreement on the sales and lux
ury taxes have not yet completed the
work of assigning territory and ap-
pointing teams to make the canvass.
1t was stated today, however, that
this will be done Immediately, and it
is hoped to complete the canvass with
in the next two or three days. 1t is
not planned, however, to begin col
lection of the special taxes until July
