THE PROBLEM.

(By Ella Wheeler Walcox.)
Out of the wilderness, out of the
night,
Has the Black man crawled to the
dawn of light;
Beaten by lashes and. bound by chains,
a beast OF burden with soul and brains
he has come through sorrow and
need and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know,
to know!
You took his freedom and gave it
again;
But grudged rs yc gave 1t, yc white
faced men.
Not all OF freedom is being free.
And II dangerous plaything is Liberty
For untaught children. III vain do
you say,
I'VE gave what he asked for--place
and pay
And right OF franchise" All wrong,
all wrong!

much;
But you gave not the things that his
stoping mind
was reaching up In the dark to find.
They were love ana knowledge, oh

The wrongs that are hoary with age,

L" the level of virtues by mortal

And greater than patience must be

In tho ultimate outcome of what is

And in and under and through and

TEACHING TEACHERS TO TEACH
HEALTH.

Richmond, Va, Fcbruary-ro on.
allie tho teachers OF the Virginia pub
lie schools to acquire the information
necessary for compliance with tho
west Act which provides for The phy.
steal inspection of pupil and the
teaching of school hygiene, the State
Board OF Health has, IN collaboration
"tlh the department. OF Education, es
'ablished correspondence course in
these subjects and already nearly a
hundred teachers have enrolled for
the instruction.
So many inquiries have come to the
health department that the commits.
Stoncr has thought it wise to issue n
hrlcf statement about the course and
the reasons for its establishment.
Inc course of lessons offers free
OF charge method of obtaining Ger
tain practical information without
"hlch no teacher can, after 1925 re
ce'Vc Il certificate TO teach i'm the Dub
Tic schools Of Virginia. It consists of
Twelve lessons in physical inspection
ol school children, control Of COM
municable discusses, personal hygiene
ana flrst aid to the injured. That the
course VIII make any teacher practi
Cal expert in any one Of the topics is
not to be hoped; but on the other
hand no teacher can take the lessons
ana pass the examinations without
having gained Information which will
: DC valuable to her and if applied pro
! fitable TO her classes.
There are now about 1900 teach
crs in the public school system and
II the present rate of attendance at
the summer and winter schools con
tlnues these teachers could not, all
OF them, be reached within the next
tour years. Consequently sometime
had to he done for the teachers who
cannot or do not attend these schools
otherwise, they would not be able to
'ccure Il teachers certificate for 1925

missioner and the State Superinten
dent OF Public Instruction are hope
Ill that this method OF teaching by
correspondence may solve what other
wise would have been an insoluble
problem.

Goodyear Tire Go.
Net Earnings for
Months 1896, 1853
Ratio of Current Assets TO
Liabilities About 10 10 1.
President Wilmer Says in
Report TO Security Holders

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. S.---Net sales of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
rany in the seven months ended Sep
tember 80 amounted to $G2, ,421 ,170, net
earnings available for interest and
fixed charges were $685. ,4S6, interest
charges amounted to S2,319,60A, other
miscellaneous charges and adjustments
aggregated s1,123,02s, leaving net
balance for surplus Of $3,3a5,S53.
These figures were made public in a
letter sent to the holders of securities
of the corporation by Edward G. Will
smer. the new president, containing the
tirst report since the reorganization of
the property last spring.
You will be interested to note
President Wilmer says in the letter,
that the company's ratio of current
assets to current liabilities is approx
mately 10 to l. Its aggregate cash,
United States Treasury certificates and
bank acceptances, is $23. .722,4 ,485. The
company has absolutely no indebted
ness to banks. All trade accounts pay
able are being currently discounted.
Goodyear through its dealers sold
more automobile tires to the public
during the first nine months of 1921
than 1T sold during the same months
of 1920. The volume Of mechanical
goods, including rubber heels, though
abnormally low, is now showing gradual
Improvement With a seasonal curtail-
ment i'll the use and demand for tires
production has been gradually cur
tailed. Immediate prospects indicate
that no further reduction of conse-
qucnce will be necessary, and an in
crease shortly after the first of the
new year is probable"

The foregoing program yves rem dered Thursday afternoon at the High school auditorium by the members of the class of 1921, with their school mates, teachers, parents and friends as guests. The spirit of exuberance of youth characterized the exercises turnout, this spirit being so refresh that fathers and mothers in attend anee were carried back to the days when they, too, had part in class day exercises.
 In the class history, Gertrude Patton reviewed the history from time to time the class started into school, giving attention to those who from time to time joined, and noting also those who fell by the way side.
 Zella Tomlinson in Class Jingles touched up the weaknesses and frail- ties of her class members, some of which doubtless had caused the teach CTS many hours of worry, but now that it was all over seemed good to hear that the jingle, "a diller a dollar, ten o'clock scholar, she used to come at 10 o'clock, but she comes at noon, was no more applicable to one member of the class than were the other jingles which Miss Zella read
 Eva Hodges in giving the prophecy, wrote about what she found classmates doing fifteen years hence, and ir placing them in life's work she used to advantage some of the special ap- titudes, qualifications or dreams that the members had while students 1T good old NJ. H. s.
 Oliver Norris, in presenting the last will and testament, after bequeathinl to the Juniors all of the earthly goods after debts were paid, in most clever way bequeathed some of the most out ! standing characteristics of his class ! mates to those who will be in Higl school next year, the aptness witt which he did this appealed mos strongly to those who had been close ly in touch with the high school ant understood the peculiar traits of tn Seniors and hence recognized how ap propriately these were passed on t others.
 Billy Browns Obedience splen didly read by Olga Parker, added spic' and entertainment to the program.
 The orchestral selection and the ac compartment to the class songs wa furnished by the following: Villa nina Pipkin, piano; Olivia Zachar and Harvey Mccoy, violins; Edwar Watkins, cornet and Ebert Smith mandolin. This part of the program demonstrated that Mena young folk have splendid musical talent as we as literary ability.
 The preparation of the exercise were in charge of Miss Clyrene Har rison, sponsor of the Serior class, an to her the parents and friends are oh ligated for the opportunity to get i touch with school spirit, and to enjo with the students the last appearanc of the Class of '21.

DOLLAR DAY. A
 SUCCESS IN NENA
Most Merchants Who Took Part Were We'll Pleased-First Prize, S10, to A. ]. Ewing. Three Others
 Got S5 Each

Dollar Day. was a real success in Mena Saturday, even tho there weren't as many dollars spent as some hoped for. Yet there are only few who helped arrange for the special sales day that were not pleased with the returns and hope to see another soon.
 Thru an oversight the date selected for Dollar Day" was also the time for the annual school election. The ab- sence of men shoppers in Mena Sat- urday may we'll be taken as proof that the male voters of Polk county put the interest of their schools ahead of bargains, and staid at home to vote and let the women folks do the shopping.
 From views expressed by majority of the merchants who participated in Dollar Day" it is concluded that nearly all were benefited by the spec ial event. Some of the local business houses reported sales that exceeded their expectations, some found the wares offered were not badly wanted. One business man reported selling 300 cakes of certain kind of soap, another reported he didn't sell cake.
 This condition was found to exist | in other lines as we'll. Many mer- chants reported an unusually large number of sales of goods not adver- i tised.
 The awarding of prizes to shoppers was a feature that pleased the buyers | and there was big interest shown when the crowd gathered at the Com mercial Club office at 3:30. The shop pers themselves arranged the selection ] of the committee to have charge of the distribution of prizes and chose Freeman L. Johnson, Dr. c. A l Campbell and J. A. Coffee.
 The committee with the aid ot Secretary Fred Smith of the Com. mercial Club with Col Clover, as an. nouneed, arranged for the distribution as follows:
 A. J. Ewing, first $10; Mrs. Elm nett Baker, second, $5; Mrs. F.. A Smith, third, $5; c. D. Harrison fourth, S5. Cases of soda water tC each of the following; Mrs. Velms Cazee, Robert Berry, Jr., A. B. Fay Tor and F. Fear. All of the prize winners live in Mena or vicinity save Mir. Taylor. who resides at Gaston Ark.

HAD RAT KILLING" TIME.
At the End s1 Rodents Dead in Mena
 Grain Store.

Wholesale murder took place al Wallace Brothers store on the south side Wednesday and when the slaugh- ter was ended a total of S1 rats had gone to the happy hunting grounds The rat killing will help lessen the losses in feed stuffs the firm has been subjected to. Jasper Middleton and Tom Wallace are given the credit for swatting the 81 rats. While Brync Cannon and Bud Wallace moved the sacks of feed Jasper and Tom wal loped the rats as the rodents started for new haven of refuge The bat ting average of the two men is said to be 1000 per cent, for the official report is that not rat escaped.
