AMENDMENT NO. IA HAS
 BEEN ABANDONED

The Arkansas Educational Associa- i'tion and the Forward Education Movement will not push proposed Amendment No. 14. All who are in formed united in the opinion that the people will not support it. Governor McRae has indicated his opposition to Tit, and MT. A. B. Hill, recently nomi- snated by the Democratic party for the office of Superintendent of Public In- struction, asks that there be no cam paign for it. State Superintendent J.. IL. Bond has indicated that the atti- tude of his Department is one of CO., operation with Governor McRae.
 We had planned to present to the .people of Arkansas, the merits of Amendment II through the mails, newspapers and public speakings, be- lieving that it was a constructive mea- sure that would give relief to our pub lie schools. These plans have been abandoned and the Forward Education ! Movement and the Arkansas Educa- ionaI Association vii dcToso thein time and energies to other things. And .heYe is plenty to do GyT. McRae has his plans for taxation d relief of oJI public schools; MT. HI .a working on tie same problems. We shaii con- tinue oug eifory to interest GIT people in public education Win the hope of an ultimate solution of these Drob.e and shall endeaVOr to support Gov. N.cRae. Mr. Hill, and all others who are striving to solve them. It is evi- dent that our task is for decade or longer. We must continue our efforts against illiteracy. indifference, leth- argy, ignorance and prejudice.
 Lest We may be accused of bad faith ;t is due us to say that before the change of plan indicated above, we had sent out numerous news articles about the Amendment, some of which still appear occasionally, and we had also printed for circulation several thousand pieces of material about it. Perhaps half of these were sent out during the spring and early summer and are already in the hands of the people, The rest are still in our hands and we have promised Gov. Me- Rae that they will be sent out only on request of of those who ask for intor- mation. All speaking engagements for the Amendment previously made by and through this office are can celled. This announcement is made in order that all may be advised of ou" change of plan.

FOREMAN 15; ASHDOWN 9
Foreman and AshdOwn Stage 9-Reel
 Comedy at Foreman.

From Foreman Sun:
 The Ashdown ball team was some what disappointed last Friday after noon when they went up against Fore man sluggers for a nine-inning bout. They had secured what they thought a shut-out pitcher from Texarkana, but what the Foreman sluggers did for him the first time they went to bat-well, we don't hardly know how to express it, but the score keeper marked up nine rounds for Foreman, and when the curtain drop ped in the ninth Foreman had scored 15 runs and Ashdown 9.
 Joe Smith, of Brownstown, was in the box for Foreman. He had pitch ed in the game against Idabel the day before, and while not at his best he got sufficient help fro mthe Fore man fielders to win the game.
 The star plays were made by two Foreman boys, one by Dave Harris who grabbed a long ball to center with one hand, and the other by Robt Burris, who made nice double by catching low line drive to left field and then throwing the ball to first, utting runner out who had started to second.
 Foreman got IS hits from Bratton who was pitching for Ashdown, while Ashdown got only nine hits from Smith. Bratton struck out and Smith 12.

We accept the predictions of finan- ~ cial writers and prophets that better times are ahead, but We would like to know how far away they are,
 Optimism is our creed, because it is to the optimists we must look for restoring the world and our particu- lar portion thereof to something near the stability of pre-war days.
 This old globe is in a sad state of confusion, bordering almost upon col lapse, but there is comfort in the fact that it might be worse. There is even encouragement in the fact that conditions generally are steadily i'm proving.
 Something good ahead!

LIKES LITTLE RIVER BEST

Editors News:
 The hot winds are ruining the cot ton in West Texas. The only good crops are milo maze and kaffir corn There are thousands of acres here that are not worth the taxes The pastures look to be very sorry. l hear no cry of hard times though the farmers are very much in debt as a rule, it is said.
 One acre in Little River county it seems to me is worth ten acres Oi much of this land. Our farmers can not appreciate their opportunities Without visiting Texas.
 The railroad service is very unsat- isfactory here I have travelled over much of the country in automobiles some high, but the greater part was very much cheaper than railroad fare The sentiment for the Ku klux here is very strong. It is said they emptl- ed out 14,0O0 gallons of whiskey here Sunday and caused two Greeks to sell their Cafe which was said to be the finest in the city. One of the Greeks had a white woman for a wife.
 There seems to be great. activity here in building good roads.
 Feed will be scarce here another year.
 Will soon finish my vacation. Best regards to all.
