A FEW DONT'S EOR OUR TOWN

Don't fail to sound its praises
wherever you are.
Don't make your money out OF
its citizens and spend it somewhere
else.
Don't frown on every public inn
provement simply because it will
cost you dollar or two.
Don sheer at the efforts of your
fellow citizens to build up the town
but lend hand yourself.
Don't talk great deal about what
should be done and remain on the
back seat waiting for someone else
to do it.
Don't say the public schools are
a failure because your boy has been
upsetting the school, discipline and
has been FURNISHED.
Don't stay at home ON election
day but get oIt and hustle for good
men and good government,
Don't let Il good local paper that
is the towns untiring champion
abandon the champion business
because of lack of deserved patron
age.
Don't forget TO drop your dollar
in the slot when the committee that
is after new enterprise comes
around with the subscription list.
Don't forget that in building up
town, hearty cooperation, united
emleavor and Il spirit Of get there
are what wins tie day. There isno
pull like long pull, Il strong pull
and a pull together.

Solid Train Load
OF Cotton Shipped
East From Atlanta

A solid train load of cotton, 40
cars, left Atlanta Tuesday night
bound for mills in New England.
The cotton was shipped by the
firm of Williamson, Inman & Strib-
ling, well known local cotton mer-
chants, who assembled the ship
ment, had it compressed and load,
ed.
This is the second time that a
trainload of cotton has been moved
from Atlanta to the northern spin
ners, the first train having been
dispatched in the fall of 1920 by the
same firm.
The shipment will travel over the
Southern railway SYSTEM to Char
lotte, where the Norfolk Southern
railroad will take it over, carrying
it to Norfolk. There the Merchants
and Miners Transportation COM
pany will load it for Boston, and
the Boston and Maine railroad will
deliver the cotton to destination.
"This movement indicates strong
er demand by the New England
spinners," said a member of the
firm Wednesday, land 1 believe the
mills are preparing to do better
business with southeastern cotton
merchants than has been the case
in some time"
Details of the transportation were
arranged by Paul A. Wright, assis-
tant general freight agent of the
Southern railway; T. NJ. Dozier,
general agent of the Norfolk-South-
ern railroad, and Curtis S. Buford,
commercial agent of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation conf
Dany.

LEGALITY OF OREGON LAW
ENFORCING PUBLIC SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE TO BE TESTED

America that the problem of Ameri-
canization is growing more difficult
daily.
What is unconstitutional there
fore?" he and the proponents of the
law demand, about requiring a
common fundamental in education
whereby all children shall have in
culcated in them American ideals?
The religious question does not en-
ter. Parents still may encourage
habits of religious thought and
study. That is what the Sunday
schools are for"
But what will be done with all
these pupils if the law finally is up.
ED, is serious problem already
, troubling officials and the thinking
people of the state. The Oregon
schools, especially in the cities where
most of the religious and private
schools are, long have been over
crowded. The taxpayers have groan-
ed and continued each year to pay
for more buildings, more, teachers,
better salaries, all reflected in the
soaring tax figures.
Voted just the Same
This was of course hammered
home from the stump by the oppo-
nents Of the legislation in the recent
campaign. But with the information
before them the voters, and the tax
payers voted for the measure just
the same.
Many people have professed to see
in the passage Of this law the SIMS
ter workings of the Ku Klux Khan,
which processes to be white Ameri-
en-, Christian and Protestant"
This particular influence also has
been charged with many other re-
suits of the Oregon election. 1t is
unlikely that any legal attack will
take place on the bill until after the
official canvas has been completed
and the passage of the act formally
and legally proclaimed.
The issue will be raised in the
state courts, but is certain eventual
ly to reach the supreme court Of the
United States, as the leaders of the
opposition insist they will not be
satisfied until the court of last resort
has been afforded the opportunity to
determine the constitutional problem
involved.

TO TALK
Action of Congregation Is
Battling Murder Probe.
Husband of Dead Choir Member
Questioned Today.

New Brunswick, n. J.. Sept. ~
James Mills. husband of the choir
leader, who was found dead near here
alongside the dead body of Rev. DIR.
Edward Wheeler Hall, wealthy rector
of the fashionable Protestant Episco-
pal church of St. John the Evangel-
list, was taken to the Somerset county
court house today, where he was ques-
toned at length by Assistant Prose
cutting Attorney Toolin.
The county authorities are partic-
ularly anxious to learn the name of
! the woman who warned Mrs. Hall
sometime ago that the attachment be-
tween the pastor of the church and
the beautiful blonde choir leader, Mrs.
Mills. had grown far past the stage OF
friendship.
Mills was sexton of the church.
Have Been No Arrests.
Altho the double murder was re-
vealed last Saturday morning when
the two bodies. both shot thru the
head, were found lying side by side
pie tree upon the old Phillips farm,
there have been no arrests.
All theories were being run down
such as murder for jealousy. murder
for revenge. murder thru blackmail
murder for family honor and murder
Tor money.
1t is believed in some quarters the
investigation has been baked by the
reticence of some members of the
church congregation who refuse for
one or another reason. to tell all they
know of the relations existing between
the rich clergyman and the handsome
matron.

Dodge City, Kan, Sept. 22.-The
Great Southwest Fair Association was
upheld in district court by Judge L.
Day in its claim to an appropriation
of $500 from the Ford County COM
missioners. This judgment was for the
1921 fair, and application now will be
made for a like appropriation for the
1922 fair which is to be held here
October 9-13 The commissioners
contended that inasmuch as out-of-
county exhibitors were entered in the
fair it ceased to be county institu-
ton and therefore was not subject to
county aid.
