Practice. These questions will be an

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION is
URGED.

Ideas are epidemic, as well as in
fiuenza. Someone sees "ghost"
which throws stones or sets fire to-
the house, and behold, all over the
country come reports of ghosts.
Some one who has reason for not
wanting the children Of today well
educated sees mythical objection
to the Demonstrating bill, now be-
fore Congress, which provides for a.
Department of Education and a chief
who is a member of the Cabinet, and
all over the country little men of lit
tie minds echo the cry of 'paternal-
ISM
The demonstrating bill requires
these three things in state before
it can receive the "paternal" feder-
al aid to education provided in the
bill:-
/. A public school opportunity of
not less than "a weeks.
Q. Compulsory attendance at some
school, public or private, for at
least "a weeks in the year, of all
children between 7 and IA.
8. English as the basic language
of instruction in all schools, public
and private, in the common branch
es.
The man who comes out in the
open and says those provisions are
wrong, or un-American, or vicious
may have courage; if not sense.
AS matter of sober fact, there
are no real objections to the bill,
even by those who don't want it. The
only persons who don't want it are
the people who have always fought
education, who see in education of
the masses the end of spiritual and
thus civil tyranny. But the people
Of the United States as whole want
education, believe in education, de-
mand education, know that educa-
tion is the one and only salvation
for both the individual and the ma
tion.
Talk is cheap. Action takes
thought and time. When the Town
er-Sterling bill passes it will pass
because enough newspapers, clergy
men, educators, influential men and
common, ordinary everyday citizens
have printed, talked and written a
bout their convictions both to and
at their respective legislators.
You who read this have repre-
sentative in Congress and the right
to address two senators. Three two
cent stamps and your convictions
sent to these gentlemen will aid in
bringing to your schools, your COM
munity, your children the same fed
eral aid which has helped your and
other communities in roads, in agri-
culture, in postal facilities, in recla-
nation, in mining methods, in forest
ry, in all the hundred and one ways
in which Uncle Sam assists Ameri-
cans to be better, ADLER and more
prosperous citizens.
Do it now!

GOVERNMENT AID IN ROAD
BUILDING.

Every state in the union possess
ing a state highway department and
appropriating state money for road
construction approved by the nation
al government will share in the $751;
100000 road appropriation, passed
by Congress. This, on a fifty-fifty
basis, means one hundred and fifty
millions to be spent upon public
roads this year, giving work to an
army Of hundred thousand men.
Warm weather, already making
its presence felt in the south, starts
this work going. Many states have
their plans all made, and have Sc
cured the approval and the co-opera-
tion of the Bureau of Public Roads,
Department of Agriculture, which
organization has control of the fed
eral aid funds. Roads constructed
by joint funds must meet with GER
tain federal specifications as to
width, grade, location and character
of construction, which particularly
vary with the locality, the road
building material available, and the
probable use of the road.

Woman Deputy Sheriff Is Sworn.

Amite, La, March 22.-There will
be no longer any problem OF serving
meals to juries on duty in the Tan
gipahoa Parish District Court cases,
according to Sheriff Lem H. Bowden,
who has appointed Mrs. Maggie
Kicks deputy sheriff. Mrs. Kicks
is proprietress of the Royal Hotel
where the impaneled juries get their
meals and hereafter they will be ui-
der the watchful eyes OF an official
who has sworn to fulfill the tasks In
cumbent upon deputies.
Mrs. Kicks, it is believed, is the
first woman deputy sheriff in Louis
lana, and possibly the first in the
South,
Her commission was issued this
week and District Judge Robert s.
Ellis administered the oath Of office.
She will guard juries during the
time they are at meals, preventing
possible efforts of outsiders to discuss
with them the cases under consid-
Grafton and Sheriff Bowden predict
ed that the wisdom of the appoint
ment would be proven.

THE pNEuMoNIA MONTE.

March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
OF mortality for the disease. After
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and
people grow careless. When every
cold. no matter how slight. is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger Of ~pneu-
monia. It should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease and
breeds in the throat. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is an expectorant and
cleans out the germ ladened mucus
and not only cures cold but pre-
vents its resulting In pneumonia. It
is pleasant to take. Children take 1t
willingly.

DON'T LET THE PUBLIC FORGET

In which direction does Lincoln
face on the penny.
1t takes quite a bit of thought to
decide, doesn't it? And then you
may be wrong.
Ask the. hrst ten people you meet
. the same question and see how many
Of them can answer 1t quickly and
correctly.
And yet, you and they handle these
pennies every day. But the direction
in which Lincoln is looking isn't
. constantly called to their attention
and they don't know.
Why should the general public
who can't remember this simple
thing-know that you are in bust
ness, If you don't everlastingly re-
mind them?
New people come into your vicin-
ity, new people reach the buying
age, but do they know that you are
in business and do they know what
you sell?
Are your old customers continually
IoHAlluCu IudI yOu dlC at IACAA oOl
vice or do their memories lapse and
do they patronize another merchant? ?
Advertising material is easy to
prepare, by means of which you can
remind Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Public
that you are in business and that
they should buy from you. GET it
and USE it.
Tiny drops of water will eventual
, ly wear away rock. Reminders of
you and your business will eventual
ly wear away, forgetfulness.
Never neglect an opportunity to
remind an ever forgetful public that
you want business.
Try the penny question on your
friends and prove to yourself that
the average person forgets and then
resolve that he MUST not forget you
and your business.-Tha Edison

DON'T PARK HERE!

That sign seems to have taken the
place of do 1t Now" and This Is
My Busy Day" on many desks. 1t
breaches a whole sermon in three
words if you are bit of philoso-
pher-and most good business men
are. Whoever had the first idea of
using this miniature street sign as
a desk warning to visitors not to
linger when business is done probab-
ly menat it for that purpose only,
but it has large size hint for the
man, or woman, back of the desk or
counter. Everyone had to slow down
more or less, but the man who kept
going, even in low gear, has learned
some very valuable lessons about
running his business car" that he
could not have learned in easy times.
But there are still lot of people
who haven't walked up to the fact
that from now on We have all got
to move faster. Are you parking on
your job or is your business parking
where it has been for the last year
or so? In the American "slanguage"
to park means to stand still, and a
business can do that just as an in
dividual can.
1t has been rather dark for fast
driving ahead since the bubble broke
but it is certain sure that the people
who parked themselves and their
business by the roadside until the
depression clouds should roll by are
having to take the dust of those who
.obeyed the signs and went on.
Brain or hand work-it is all
the same, for 1922 is the workers
year. Don't anywhere. Get
on.-The Edison Sales Builder.
