ACHTLLE PRESS TAKES
A CRACK AT CITIZENS
Statement Chides People For Not
Supporting Their Local Paper.

Achille Press for March 3. prints
the following under the heading

Ten months have elapsed since
the press resumed publication after
its suspension in September, 1920.

of the editor. With the exception of
the Farmers and Merchants Nation

John G. Boyce, and DR.. Kloster-
mann, and few others who have ad-
vertised little and that spssmodi-
cally, the business men and many of
the citizens have practically said no
newspaper is wanted. The Press has
advocated improvements and has at
tempted to interest new enterprises
but has received no cooperation from
those who should have assisted. It
has boosted the Commercial Club and
the merchants are unanimous that
the organization has stimulated
trade. but look over the pages of
the Press and see if it has been hit
very hard by evidences of prosperity.
The subscribtion price of the Press
is and has been 81 year for So is
sues-a trifle less than 2 cents a
week-but there are so many who
cannot stand this prodigous expense!
Many of those who connot afford the
outlay are eager to grab up a paper
if one is left at a business house. or a
copy is borrowed from a neighbOr to
see what is not said.
So far the Press has been able
to meet it's bills-from foreign ad-
vertising and other finances and from
the two suburbs of Achille. (Durant
and Denison) we expect to secure
enough advertising patronage to in
sure the continuation of the publica-
ton.
The lack of cooperation on the part
of the business men Of Achille has
made Ishmaelites of the Press and its

EIGHT ISSUES STAND
OUT IN PARTY CLASH
Republicans Will Stand On Record in
Congressional Fight

Now about to enter upon his sec
ond year as President Of the United
States Warren G. Harding faces the
first Judgment" to be passed upon
his administration by the American
people as will probably be reflected
in the 1922 congressional elections
over the country.
The administration lays claim to
several accomplishments, which are :
The Washington arms conference.
Establishment Of a national bud
get system. designed to effect econo-
mics, the result Of which it is yet
too early to determine.
Revision Of taxes giving some re-
lief to the man Of small income and
relief also to the rich.
An emergency tariff, the benefits
Of which are debatable.
Passage of the Columbian treaty
and, in short a general improve
ment Of international relations.
There will probably be eight out
standing issues of this years cam.

BILL PROPOSES NOTES
TO FORMER SOLDIERS
No Cash Now But Eventually 81 Per

Bonus awards to former service
men will begin about October first
Of this year, according to the terms

alton by the ways and means COM
mittee of the lower house Of con-

one week.
The elimination of the cash pay
ment of the bonus, the committee
has determined, will apply to all per
sons entitled to more than fifty dol-
lars. Payments of these smaller
amounts in cash will cost about $751;
100000. it is estimated.
1t is also provided that the rate Of
interest veterans will pay on loans
shall not exceed 5is per cent. Loans
will be possible at any banking insti-
tuition, in amounts not to exceed %
per cent of the face value of the GER
tificates to be issued in lieu of cash
Limitation Of the interest rate wa
deemed necessary to protect the vet
erans against loan sharks and users
Loans from banks will be possible
up to Sept 80, 1923, after which
time the certificates will have loan
value with the Government Of 85 PEI
cent Of their face value. Where GER
tificates have been used to obtain
loans and the payments have been
defaulted the Government will reim'
burse the banks.
Efforts are being made to make
the certificates as attractive as pos
sible, so veterans will hold them fol
twenty years, at which time they
mature. They will bear AZ per cent
, interest, which when compounded
will really triple the face value Of
the certificate when it is finally re
deemed.
The American Legion tacitly has
approved the elimination of the cash
feature of the bonus.

the wrecking of old sheds, buildings

Two kinds of poison are used
against rats-barium carbonate in oc-
cupied houses and buildings; stryc-
nine (sulphate) for outside work. In
the use of poisons care must be ex-

All rats collected for counting

Clubs may be organized for the

clubs usually offer monthly prizes
for rat killing and hold old contests.
By the expenditure of comparatively
small sums these clubs accomplish
better and more lasting results than
are usually attained by premiums
and bounties.

IMPROVING COLLEGE CAMPUS


Striking improvements on the cam
pus and drive ways of Southeastern
State Teachers Colleg have been
made during the past few weeks. In
observation of Arbor Day new shade
trees were set out along the walks to
the training school and old trees
which did not survive last year were
replaced by new ones. Other shrub
berry on the campus has been pruned
and shaped in preparation for spring
growth. Cinder walks have been laid
between buildings and heating plant.
All these things add greatly to the
appearance of our school.

HOW GIRLS WEAR THEIR HAIR

When the contour of the face can
stand the strain, the hair is pulled
straight back from the forehead, and
then further augmented with little
puffs of hair over the ears, for it is
this covering of the ears that still
seems to be necessary as matter of
strict fashion and good sense. No one
leaves tip of the ear showing, unless
it is just enough from which to bangle
a length of earring conspicuously nee
essary to the finish of the costume
with which it is worn.
Wreaths of silver and golden leaves
are favorite hair adorn1uea ts for the
younger girls. They are neither very
heavy nor large, but they are just ac-
centuated enough to add that extra
finish to a simple frock which can
be so much the making of its last eff
feet. Bracelets with the short sleeves,
and with the entire lack of sleeves,
are favorite adornments, and, while
they are not over conspicuous in their
designs, they are still distinctly bril-
liant, and a girl wears many of them
in different jewels and colorings If
the fancy strikes her.

With the midday reunion my hour
OF distinction arrived. The tale of
the ghost-pig was told rom the be-
ginning by Cookie, with high tributes
to my courage in sallying forth in pur-
suit of the phantom. Even those hold
ing other views of the genesis of the
white dog were amazed at his presence
on the island. In spite of Cookies as
pensions. the creature was no mongrel,
but a thoroughbred of points. Not
by any means a dog which some little
South American coaster might have
abandoned here when it put in for
water The most reasonable hypoth-
esis seemed to be that he had be-
longed to the copra gatherer, and was
for some reason left behind on his
masters departure But who that had
loved dog enough to make It the
companion of his solitude would go
away and leave it? The thing seemed
to me incredible. Yet here, otherwise
unaccounted for, was the corporeal
presence of the dog.
/ had named the terrier in the first
ten minutes of our acquaintance. CRU

was presented to his new associates.
Violet tolerated him, Aunt Jane called

thought l was not looking, Cuthbert
Vane ehummed with him in frankest
comradship, and Mr.. Shaw softened
toward him to an extent which made
me inly murmur, Love me, love my
dog''-only reversed. Not that in the
least wanted to be loved, only you feel
it an impertinence in a person who so
palpably does not love you to en-
deavor to engage the affections of your
bull-terrier.
AS to Cookie, he magnanimously
consented to overlook Crusoe's dubi-
GUS past as a ghost-pig, and fed him
so literally that the terriers lean and
graceful form threatened to assume
the contours of a beer-keg.

Head Dresses That Simulate Bobbed
Cut Are More in Favor at
Present.

Some of the head dresses, among
the younger girls, have taken very
prominent place. The coiffures are
simple enough-more often than not
being those that have been bobbed
and made comfortable in the last de-
gree. But there is usually some sort
Of extra adornment somewhere about
the head, if 1t is only slightly
ieweled comb, that is pushed in care
lessly to keep the front locks of a
Dutch cut in position.
The head dresses that simulate a
bobbed cut are even more in the pub
lie eye than are those which are ac-
tually cut short. Many are the young
ladies who prefer to keep the full
length of their locks intact, and
then to make them look as though
they had been clipped off. On these
hair arrangements there is usually i'm
posed some sort of decoration If it
is only a band of jewels across the
forehead.
