HOME NEWS IS
MOST INTEREST
ing TO READERS

1t is big news in New York when
]. P. Morgan returns from trip
abroad. The big city dailies make
considerable fuss about it and devote
column after column to it. When q
New York banker sues for divorce
the city papers bend every effort to
air the whole domestic difficulty, and
SO it is with numerous other happen
ings pertaining to some wealthy fam
lily.
But it isn't Of as much interest to
the citizens Of Julesburg and COM
munity to read Of the above news as
it is to read in their home paper that
a former resident of Julesburg or Of
Sedgwick county is back here on a
visit, or that you are preparing to pay
q visit to someone in another sec
ton Of the country. Home news holds
first place in this community and al
ways will. That is why we want to
impress upon you the necessity of
assisting to gather that home news,
in order that the Grit-Advocate may
tell it to its readers. We want every
personal item we can get. We want
to know about those relatives and
friends that are visiting you, because
every visit is Of interest to someone.
It will take you but minute or so
to call US up or tell our reporter.
about any news item you may know
of. Remember this paper is your
paper, and the cooperation of the
citizens of the community is needed
to make it one of interest. We ap-
peal to you to help US all you can in
giving all the worthwhile news of the
community.

With $4,000 people attending the
opening ball games in the American

big game seems to be as keen as ever.
As the little white ball runs along
the greening grass, the true fan feels
once more that life is worth living
The crack of the bat is sweeter mu-

Baseball expresses the American
temperament. It is the game Of
swiftness, a sport in which swift
thought and swift action are leading
factors for success. The Americans

|PARACOULD H. s. PLACED ON LIST
 FOR SIXTH YEAR
In Addition to Being Ac- credited for Sixth Con- secutive Year Is Made Member of Association.
(From Mondays DaifS)

Information has reached the local public school authorities from the state department of education at Little Rock that the Paragould high school has again been placed on the accredited list of the Southern Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools. The association held it's annual meeting this year in Birmingham, Alabama, December 1-3.
 This makes the sixth consecutive year that the Paragould high school has been recognized by being placed on the accredited list of high schools. Being on this accredited list means that any student receiv- ing a diploma from the local high school will be admitted to any col 1ege or university within the juris- diction of the association without examination. There are thirteen states in the jurisdiction of the association as follows Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken lucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.
 ! In addition to being accredited by the association this year Para gould was one of the seven high schools i'll the state that was made a member of the association. The seven schools thus honored being Fort Smith, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Paragould, Helena, Jonesboro and Texarkana.
 To have the local high school on the accredited list of schools means no little to the students graduating as a number of graduates who go away to college every year is in creasing. Last year out of 2S grad uating, 19 went away to college and ali of them were admitted to their respective institutions without any examinations or conditions. This years class consists of 40 members and large percentage of them have expressed their intention of going away to college.

 During Saturdays fracas, Mrs. Smith literally "wiped up the earth with two deputy sheriffs and the city marshal of Walnut Ridge. She was ably assisted by her 15-year- old daughter. One of the officers bears the marks Of terrific strug- gle, his face being scratched and clawed. Mrs. Smith gave him the marks. Another was kicked in the groin and so badly hurt that he lost consciousness The third es- capped injury, because Mrs. Smith couldn't run fast enough to catch him. She weighs 200.
 When the officers went to the Smith home yesterday, they took no chances on getting pummeled.

The same three who went Saturday returned yesterday, but they were accompanied by several others. It required two automobiles to trans port the party. When Mrs. Smith, saw them coming, she prepared for the worst. The laws boldly marched up to the very front door, two abreast, and the previously chosen spokesman announced their intention.
 Mrs. Smith 'howdy-do'ed" with the Jaws" bade them wait mo- ment, went back into the house and primped up bit, and then announce ed she was ready to submit to ar rest. She was brought to Walnut Ridge, put up $500 bond and re- turned to her home.

time, however, to sell the issue sole ly through our own organization.
 1.By doing this we not only get a large number of our own sub scribers, and the public in general, in the ownership of our company. This issue is Southwest ern stock for the people of the southwest and we want to do every thing in our power to put it over.
 "The stock, par value $100.0O, and bearing seven per cent interest a year, is to be offered on two plans. First, the full amount in cash and second, a liberal partial payment plan. Under the first plan, the purchaser merely pays $100.00 in cash and his stock is delivered immediately. Incidentally, one of more shares of this stock would make a most acceptable Christmas present.
 ''The second plan is liberality it.

only the money he has paid in but
 he gets an additional six per cent
 interest for the use of the money
 while it was. in the hands of the
 company. There will be no red tape
 about these withdrawals.
 Another novel idea in connection
 with the partial payment plan is the three. months suspension clause. If
 the purchaser finds that he can not make one of his payments, he has
 the option of asking for a three
 months suspension of these pay ments. At the end of that time he can resume them. His money, however, continues to draw the sev- en per cent interest allowed on pay ments. A purchaser is not limited to any number of shares. All that we require on the partial payments is that they be made in multiples of five. That is, he can pay $500, or $1O.00, or $2O.00 month per share. Or he can buy five shares and pay $5O.OO a month on them, etc. We require this because all of our ac-
 counting system has been set up with multiples of five as a basis. This stock we are offering is preferred stock. By that we mean that holders of this issue get their
 dividends before any dividends are paid on any other stock held by others We have $6O,00O,0O0 in
 common stock and we are now of- fering $2,50O.00 in preferred. But when dividend time comes, holders
 of this preferred are paid first, then
 holders of common stock.
 The Southwestern Bell Telephone Company now operates over 0,000 thousand telephone stations in the 1 five states of Arkansas, Missouri,
 Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. Back of the. stock we are offering is 100000 in assets, of which $105, 100000 is physical property. We feel that the security is gilt edged, and we hope the resi- dents of Paragould will take ad- vantage of the opportunity to be-
 come part owners in telephone lplant which they can see working | day by day. The telephone plant will be here long after we are gone
 and instead of deteriorating, it will
 grow better with time.
 Any employee of the company will gladly explain the issue to our friends and we hope they won't hesitate to call on us for informa- !tion." 4..

self. Under it, the purchaser pays so much per month until his $100.00 or more is paid out. For example, suppose he buys one share. He pays $500 down and $500 the first of each month for IS months. All of the time he is paying install- ments on the stock, the money so paid in is drawing seven per cent interest. At the end of the IS months, his stock is credited with the amount paid in, together with the seven per cent interest paid on the installments.
 Unto this installment plan, the company has injected an idea which is entirely new in such matters. If a purchaser found himself little hard pressed for money and found that he could not complete his pay ments, he has the privilege of draw ing out all of the money he has put in. In this connection he gets not

Education and science are part

Happiness and sorrow are two Of
the Footsteps upon which we
must tread to share in this civil.

of the evils or benefits that come

might be written on this subject;
indeed volumes have been written
on the subj ct in general, but
what concerns Us in this pulica-
ton is the PROTECTION that
you as a civilized and Intelligent
person owe to your Eyes. There
are thousands upon thousands OF
reasons why each and every one
of Us should give ample protect

one of the most sensetive, vital,
and valuable organ of our body.
Have you ever stopped to calcu.

There is a definste relationship

The malfunction of the eyes may

Defective eyes are oftentimes re-
