HONESTY MAY BECOME
PUBLIC SCHOOL COURSE

NEW YORK.-Dr. William Byron
Forbush, author of The Boy Problem,
and a specialist in the psychology OF
youth, has been appointed director of
a movement started by the National
Surety Co. to give instruction courses
il honesty all through the American
public school system.
THE honesty bureau" as it is to be
called, has been organized as an anti
dote to the increase of crime. The
eighth commandment, "Thou Shalt
Not Steal", is to be impressed on the
school boys in their formative years.
Hundreds of letters have been re-
ceived by William B. Joyce, president
of the National Surety Co., indorsing
the movement. More than 500 bank
presidents and 700 city superinten-
dents of schools have promised their
support. 1t is Endorsed by President

OIL IN THE OZARKS

(Tom Shivas, Mountain Home, Ark
Drills pounding, derricks rising, oil!
BY George, it makes my red blood
boil.
Hopes of sudden riches fill my mind;
There are thousands of my kind.
I loosen up my pOcketbOOk
And look around and hook some stock
And start a little bet on oil.
A month passes.
Timber for the derrick is on the
ground, and
Bent by bent it rises to the sky.
Hip, hip, hooray! l cry;
| Then go and make another buy.
Another month rolls round,
And tools are dragged upon the
ground
And strung.
Steam is raised, they start to drill,
And every stroke give me thrill.
Bit gets stuck;
We are out of luck.
They pull her loose and start again,
And drill day or so;
They're running awful short on dough
And close her down
To look around
And sell few more shares of stock.
I take another little block.
Back they come, the work moves slow;
The prospects lost its rosy glow.
They've been at work about year,
But that's all right, there's naught to
fear.
They'll bring her in,
I'm bound to win.
And then the driller, the big stiff,
Begins to brace his talk with ''if.
Two thousand feet they said they'd
go;
They finally blew in all their dough
And couldn't sell bit more stock.
l tell you it gave me a shock.
And when I hear a man say oil,
Tt makes my burned blood fairly boil.
And I grip my bank roll firmly.
No, thanks, 7 say, sarcastically. Il

loud in their praise over the results.

time: good crops where neighborinr

GOOD ROADS

There is no one thing that will
from the visitors from other states
than the highways over which they
travel. II the roads are good they
are very p:ofused in their praise
and il the roads are bad they are
just as profuse in their condem-
nation. Coed roads in Colorado are
bringing thousands of tourists to the
states and hihgways and byways in
the mountain districts are swarming
with cars from most every state in
the union, Each car in Colorado will
spend from $500 to $1,000 a day
while in the state ard tosee the num-
ber there are touring Colorado one
can get an idea of the vast amount
of money left in Colorado when they
have returned home Good roads
cost a lot of money, but it is money
well spent: it is resulting il rev.
enue for Colorado people,.
Roads for tourists, however, are
not all that Is desired for there are
nuuuFouS Oh niles OI highways tNdJ
are used almost as much, tho few
il any tourists travel them. These
are the highways that lead from
trade territory into some nearby
town or city, and they are
as importan as are the roads
that are built for the
tourist revenue. Good roads from
any town out into the farming sect
ions tributary to that town are the
means of building a town. If the
roads are bad farmers will drive a
good many miles further in another
direction il the roads are better in
that direction, and they cannot be
blamed for doing it. So it is vital
to the business interests of Colorado
towns to have the side-roads in as
good condition as are the trans
continental highways.
