FAULKNER GAP s. I. A.

The Faulkner Gap S. l. A. met De cember 9, and this paper by the vice president, was requested sent the Log Cabin Democrat:
 We as parents are very much in- debted to our community, our school and our children. In our children's early childhood days are molded the foundation of their future lives, and we should be very careful in the career of our childrens' childhood days, ever pointing them to the higher nobilities and ideals of life, as we journey with them through this uneven path of life.
 A child's mind is very active and tender. We as parents are imprint ing some kind of example before our children, be what it may, for their tender minds and feet to take up, and if we imprint noble and higher ideals of life before them, they are more likely to attain the higher nobiities of life, than a lower life of degre- dation; and, more, we should see to our children's education, as the time is almost with us. They without an education will be compelled to take a back seat in society, and this we owe to our children, a common school education. Far more still, if we are financially able, a higher education. Few can receive the honor of college education, but all are graduates of the examples set before them in childhood. The learning of the uni versity may fade, but the simple les sons of parents impressed upon the hearts of childhood defy the rust of years and outline the picture of life.
 The teachers are in school to help you get the knowledge you require. Their rights are the same as other individuals, their lives should be healthful, comfortable, pleasurable, and free from annoyance. If we wish tu secure their best services and en- able them to help us more we should help the:;i; thi.e:.; ii every way possible When your faithful horse is ..ry,ng to pull heavy load up hill do not annoy 1t By whipping iu or pricking it, and by putting obstacles in it's way. Your teachers are trying to help you up to your highest and best selves. Therefore every hindrance should be removed from their path | way.-Reporter.

BRITISH SURPLUS USED UP.
Coal Strike and Payment to Roads
BIamed by SIR Robert Horne.

LONDON, Nov. 10.--A gloomy view of
the financial position of the United
Kingdom was presented in the House OF
Commons yesterday by Sir Robert
Horne. Chancellor OF tho Exchequer.
The budget estimated surplus OF Es4,.
100000 from ordinary revenue and
fss.ooo.ooo from extraordinary revenue.
OF their total $4,000. 900 was allocated
to the sinking fund. leaving an estimated
surplus Of fe7,o0o,o0o. which, however.
had completely disappeared. owing 20
the recent coal strike and payments To
the railways at the cessation of their
control by the Government. Expendi-
lures of an additional E20,000.0o0, be-
cause of unemployment, had been offs {
by equivalent savings.
The surplus would be insufficient to-
provide a sinking fund of fSo.O0o.000,
which would havo to be providefN by
borrowing. This, he added, would not
result in deficit In the budget.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Cotton BcafS Have am Inning.

Although bears on stocks have not
found much satisfaction in the market
since the upturn began back III August
the cotton bears have had quite differ-
ent experience. Seeing cotton futures
yesterday all under II cApts pound,
many OF the proponents of tho so cent
cotton theory when prices were above Il
cents in September had reason TO make
wry faces A curious factor in the
realization OF bearish expectations is the
fact that the influence which ACTUALLY
has carried quotations down is NOT Iho
influence which had been predicted p
do the trick. Traders sold futures short
six weeks ago on the belief that, al
though the crop would be short. any ma
terial rise would run afoul CT hesitant
plans of spinners to make up goods In
quantity from relatively high priced raw
material What has been the most pro-
nounced force In the decline is realiZa-
ton that the crop may run well In eX-
cess OF 100000 bales.

wonder that spectators have taken hold

GOVERNOR ISSUES
 FIRST PARDON
Mississippi County Man Who Had Escaped From Pen in 1911, is First to Receive Par don From Governor McRae.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, June Ex-Governor McRae yesterday granted his first nardon, after having been in office more than six months without the exercise of executive clemency.
 The case in which the governor acted is one of peculiar interest. M. E. Jackson was convicted in Missis- sippi county in 1911 on a charge of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to 10 years in the peniten- tiary. He was transported to the penitentiary and after few months service escaped and returned to his home on Island No. 32 in the Missis- sippi river, a part of Mississippi county. He resumed his ordinary af- fairs and it was believed by his neigh bors that he had been pardoned. He lived an exemplary life in every way and was a good citizen.
 A few months ago, however, it was reported by someone that he was an escaped convict and the governor directed the sheriff to return him to the penitentiary to complete his ser vice. His friends at once interested themselves in his behalf and ap- pealed to the governor for pardon. Their petition was supported by the endorsement of the trial judge, Frank Smith, who is now a member of the supreme court and the prosecuting attorney, who is now U. s. Senator T. H. Caraway; also by all county officers, the foreman of the trial jury and 157 citizens. There was not a single protest, everybody agreeing that the pardon should issue. Jack son is 66 years old and in poor health.

CITIZENS ARMY
 HASOUR SUPPORT
Governor McRae Endorses Plan of War Department For Re- Organization of the National Guard and Reserves.
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, June Ex-Governor McRae has heartily endorsed plans promulgated by the War Department at Washington for the re-organiza- tion of the National Guard and the Organized Reserve. He is in receipt of letter from Secretary of War John w. Weeks, inviting his coopera- tion and support in the development of this component part of the citizens army.
 By act of June 4, 1920, amending the National Defense Act, the army is to be composed of the regular army of the National Guard and the Or ganized Reserves. The first mobili- zation is grouped in six field armies; the first three comprising the units of the regular army and the National Guard and the second three consisting entirely of the Organized Reserves.
 Secretary Weeks says, "the devel- opment of the National Guard having been assured, the War Department desires to initiate the organization of the Reserves at an early date in order to preserve as far as practicable further portion of our military strength developed during the World War
 "While the Organized Reserves are purely federal force, the units al- lotted to your state will be composed of residents of your state, many of whom served with great credit to the state and the United States during the World War. It is the intention of the War Department for the pres ent to organize these units with their full quota of commissioned personnel, by the assignment of reserve officers and a small number of non-commis- stoned officers or specialists recruited from citizens, having some basic mili- tary training"

COMPANY ( IS
 MAKING GOOD
ofhcers of Local National Guard
 Company Expect Soon to Have Membership of One Hun
 dred and Fifty.

Company c, Arkansas National Guard, was organized February 21st, 1921, by Captain Carroll Cone, who has company in Pine Bluff.
 When the war ended, all old mem- bers of the National Guard were dis charged, and the purpose now of or ganizing new units is to get stand ing National Guard, to train civilians for military duty.
 c Company was organized and re- celved federal recognition Feb. 21. and the results from the one hour week drill is promising if not good. Every commissioned officer has had as much as year in the regular army, and the non-coms. have had military training enough to make them good reliable officers.
 Another good point of this mans army is the pay roll. The payroll amounts to ten thousand dollars a year. This is quite bit of pickup for drilling an hour a week, and it surely helps because Captain Scott says he has been asked more than ten thousand times, "when is pay day"
 The total membership at present is eighty-one, with new members join ing every day. From the looks of things, Prescott is to have a company of one hundred and fifty before long.
 On the Fourth of July the company will go to Hope for competitive drill, and expect to receive first honors.
 Talk of a football team for next season has already started, and from the material in the company, should easily have a championship team.
 Best of all is the encampment at Camp Pike on July 11th. Besides the regular army pay, the experience and training at the annual encampment is worth oodles to anyone.

SCOUR SEAS FOR
 MISSING CREW
Crew of Schooner Carroll Deer ing Mysteriously Disappears Message in Bottle Told of Raiders.

Washington, June 21.-A world wide search for the missing crew of the schooner Carroll A. Deering of Bath, Me, which piled on the North Carolina beach last January with all sails set, but not a living soul aboard, has been started by the State Depart ment through American consuls.
 The mystery is being investigated by the Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce, as is also the unexplained disappearance of the American steel freighter Hewitt, out of Sabine Pass, Texas, for Boston. This craft disappeared at about the same time that the Deering came ashore.
 The summary of the history of the Deering case, as sent to consuls by the State Department, discloses that when the Deering passed Cape Look out Lightship, N. C., on Jan. 29, while bound from Rio de Janeiro for Nor folk, a man other than the master reported that the vessel had lost both anchors and asked to be reported to its owners.
 Two days later the vessel was found on the beach in what the State De- partment describes as "in such condi- tion that there is every suspicion of foul play having occurred"
 The departments summary also says that a short time after the Deering passed the lightship a steamer, the name of which was not ascertained, passed the light vessel and was asked to stop and take d message for forwarding, but no re- sponse was received to the "numer- ous attempts on the part of the mas ter of the lightship to attract the yes sel's attention"
 The departments summary then says that on April II the following message was picked up in a bottle near Cape Hatteras:
 "Deering captured by oil burning boat something like chaser, taking off everything, handcuffing crew. Crew hiding all over ship. No chance to make escape. Finder please notify headquarters of Deering"
 '"The schooner carried motor lifeboat and a dory," the State De- partment's summary continues, "but neither of them has been picked up and no wreckage for them has been found. Most of the provisions, cloth ing and supplies of the vessel had been removed"
