Visitors.
tFrom Tuesdays Daily Prcssl

| tTrom Tuesdays Daily Prcss>
Jas. F. Scott, of the Scott Drill
! ing Syndicate operating in Poinsett
and Craighead counties, was in the
city again today and spent some
time at the sanitarium looking after
! the welfare of his two employees who
were hurt in an automobile accl-
J dent at Harrisburg Saturday morn
! ing when the south bound Iron
Mountain passenger ran into and de-
molished tho Ford touring car they
were driving enroute to their work
at the Scott we'll. north Of that
/ city. The two men, Dave Singleton
and J. w, Dowcll, are reported as
getting along very favorably and
likely will entirely recover from
the effects of the accident that
came near ending their lives.
Mr. Scott told d Press representa-
tive that he has just completed q
tour of Greene county which he
made with two friends from the
cast and who have been here look
ing over the prospective oil de-
yelopmcnt interests of this section
They last night returned to their
homes and. it is said, they are
very favoTably impressed with the
prospects in Northeast Arkansas as
being d section that looks good as
a prospective oil and gas region.
! ;J -;t,it 1I ir1 11r
cry section of Greene county but
no definite plans OF development
/ have resulted from their trip so far
as known TO anyone here.
Mr.. Scott has his hands full in
the development projects he has
going forward in Poinsett and Craig
head counties and perhaps will de-
vote his attention and energies eX-
clusively to those fields till some
definite results are achieved, TAX
ing into consideration the heavy eX-
penditurcs he is making in the
development of those counties he UNI
doubtedly believes in this region
as being very promising for good
production of oil and gas, However,
he is not the type Of man who
makes extravagant claims or sensa-
ltional predictions as to his plans
or purposes,
1t is said the Scott No. , well
north of Harrisburg is now drilling
at very interesting depth and it
is being watched With a great deal
of interest. \ rotary drilling out
fit was recently re-installed at that
hole and, barring accidents, the
we'll should be completed within I
comparatively brief time. 1t is sale
that everything is in readiness t(
"spud in" the Scott we'll in Craig
head county and that drilling likely
will be going forward there this
week
Mr.. Scott expressed himself az
being hopeful for the success o
the test that was started upon The
LoyeIady farm by the Preston Oi
d Gas Company in this county anC
hoped that the drjllers there WOult
find themselves in position to g
forward with their operations ant
complete the job to the dcsirct

Quoted from October 18th to 22nd.
A road grader is being utilized to

the dirt to the edge in race track
order. Following this work the
track will be dragged, and. made
smooth and firm.
Weeds and grass are being moved
and the entire fair site is being

however, will not be undertaken till
about ten days prior to the opening

Everyone may contribute some
effort to the success of the fair

affording a good advertising scheme

cation teaches the child a lot of rigid
bcliefs, instead of teaching him to
think. But above all it bores him.
Literature, science, history-the things
which help any individual to under
stand and appreciate life-are made
inexpressibly dull for the youngster'
He loses all interest in them.
"The moment school is rot play, it
is an injury" says Mr.. Edison. II don't
know quite the age at which a, child's
mind atrophies, but il is somewhere
between the ages of II and Ia"
Here Mr. Edison bears out the psy-
choanslysts, of perfection. The child's
intellectual development is arrested by
boredom somewhere between IL and
IA and along most lines it never ad-
vances thereafter. A little later the
child becomes interested in making
money, and that remains the individ-
uars most vital interest all his life.
His character and personality mature
after a fashion. but these can never
reach q full maturity without an all
round mental Development. Hence the
fact that the grown, man So often has
the tastes, the viewpoint, and the
amusements of bigh school boy.
A change in our system of education
seems to tbe agreed by all authorizes
to be theE fundamental need. Most OF
our literature and drama, film and
otherwise, is infantile and fosters the
infantile attitude toward life. But
there is plenty of better stuff avail
able. What is lacking is a demand
for anything better. As long as our
schools are inadequate, as long as
teachers are the most poorly paid SER
wants of the state, as long as all teach
ing. is rigidly censored so that when
teacher speaks his pind he risks his
job-as long as the United States con-
tinues to rank tenth among the civil
lized nations of the world in its eedu-
cational system. just so long, say the
psychologists, will we rank somewhere
near the. tail end of the procession In
the number OF truly adult men and
women we produce.

BONDS FOR HIGHWAYS
Good Roads Association Advocates
Bio State issue.

Big State Issue.
Officials of the South Carolina Good
Roads association say that the action
of the conference of mayors of the
state in asking the governor to recon-
mend to the general assembly that the
necessary steps be taken to insure a
bond issue for the construction OF
highways will meet with statewide
approval.
There will never be more oppor-
tune time for the construction of per-
maEent highways than the next two
years" says the statement. THE cost
of construction will be lower and
there will be an abundance of labor.
The construction Of the roads will
give employment to thousands who are
now out of work or who will be out
of work
1T is absolutely necessary that the
state inaugurate road building pro-
gram on a large scale if it is to keep
pace with it's sister states. North
Carolina has already begun the eX-
penditure of a bond issue of $5O,OOO,-
600 ard Virginia Is planning a bond
issue of S25,OOO.OOO. Georgia is spending
a large sum and is planning the eX-
pendiutre of an even larger sum. Flor
ida is spending a large sum.

NO CHURCHES OR JAILS
Iowa Town Holds, Unique Position in

= America.
There are two institutions that Wal
colt, Iowa, the richest town per capita
in Iowa, prides itself in not possessing
These are churches and jails.
In it's religious beliefs, Walcott Is
unique. For more than so years the
town has been without a church. II
once had a Jail, but like it's only
church established 65 years ago ant
which existed but a few years, it was
put in the discard. While the jai
building still stands, there is no vest
ige Of a church edifice But there are
no locks to the Jail and its hinges have
rotted off. 1t Is never used.
I'VE are free thinkers and believe in
free American citizenship seven days
a week. We do not need preachers :to
dictate to US. We are better off with
.out them,' states Mayor Strohbeen IN
expressing Walcott's lack of churches
Mayor Strohbeen states that while
any denomination has the privilege
of establishing a church in Walcott
the people simply will not patronize
them. They would have empty pews
and empty collection baskets every
Sunday.
1--WE are getting along very well as
we are-much better than with
churches. We like to be let alone
There is no more peaceful or law abid-
ing town in the whole United States
than Walcott Why should we want
churches. They bring strife and dis
sensions-we want peace and quie-
tude," commented the towns popular
mayor.
It's no secret how Walcott residents
spend their Sabbath. Shows and
dances are our principal Sunday
amusement" says Mayor Strohbeen
"Then in summer we enjoy baseball
and automobile riding"
In case of weddings most of the
couples come to Davenport and look
up justice. In very rare instances a
minister of the gospel is called in.
Most of the funerals in the town
are conducted by Johannes Wroeger,
who delivers the Grafton in either
German or English, as the mourners
desire. Mr. Wroeger possesses no
church affiliations or religious beliefs.
In other words he is a pastor without n
creed. Baptisms are unknown in the
town.
In a business and commercial way,
Walcott is a thriving town. 1t has
two banks with combined deposits of
over S1,50O,00O This is "a remarkable
showing when it is considered that
the population of the town is but 3S4.
1t has a consolidated school second to
none in this part of the state.
Recently the citizens erected a fine
public auditorium. Her chautauquas
and musical entertainments are held
on week days, and dances on Sun
days.
