There was once Community,
With no sickness, poor or sin.
Everyone was SNUG and sure,
And all was we'll within.
Lots Of sickness and Of sin,
In the cities, that is true.
But in their community, they said,
"Sick and SHINING folks were few"
So their guiItless consciences,
Went to sleep, they say,
And they slept like Rip Van Wrinkle,
In that old historic lay.
While they slept, the Master,
Touched their sleeping eyes,
And said, Awake, and behold
The children Of The Wise"

Possibly the children, irresponsible
in their youth, do not expect anythnis
from us. but that does not excuse M
in the least.
They are entitled to our moral. and

TO secure an education that will 90

Big Profit Melted
From Convict Farm

Official reports of the state con-
vict farm at Cummins shows a net
profit for the past year of $751;
9O9.29 or $119.61 per capita for the
average number of prisoners which
was SAB. This report is in striking
contrast with that of the preceding
year which showed a net loss of
$113,S4362 or $1S3.62 per capita.
The report for the past two and one
half years shows that the per capita
cost for the month of May 1922 was
only $S.1S, the smallest of any
month for the entire period. The
highest per capita cost was in July
1920 when the cost of keeping each
prisoner in the penitentiary amount
ed to $47.96. The following July
this had been reduced by careful
management to $14.73 per capita.
These figures reflect business-like
administration of the affairs of the
institution which is a credit to the
commissioners in charge.

Attack Made Near
Coles Saw Mill.
(From saturdays Daily)

q Nj. Jesse and N. B. Moore, for
merlv employed at the Missouri Pa
cific railway shops, were yesterday
afternoon fined $4,000 and the costs,
each upon the charge of assault ana
battery, alleged to have, been COM
mitted upon the person of Il. Il.
Taylor, former Cardwell. Missouri,
resident, who is or was employed as
q strike-breaker at the Missouri
Pacific shops. The accused, also,
were ordered held in bonds of $2,-
10000 each for their appearance
hefore the December term of the
Greene county grand jury upon the
charge of robbery, which Taylor
alleged the two men committed upon
him at the time of the reported beat
ing he received at the hands of the
two accused The court, however,
upon a reconsideration OF the rob-
berv charge, this morning at ten
O'Clock announced that he had sus-
nended his decision to have the two
men held to the grand jury and they
were released from having to supply
bonds. The trial of Jesse and
Moore took place yesterday afternoon
in the court room of the court house
before Esq. w. j. Brewer, upon a
change of venue from the court OF
Esq. A. b. Hays, granted Monday,
August 29th.
According to the evidence intro
Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-09-11

and another stated that it was about
$34.00.
The trial of the two men attract
ed much attention and many of those
who heard the testimony expressed
themselves as being of the belief
that the robbery .scharge was not
sufficiently supported by the evil
dence introduced t9 justify the be-
lief that the men accused are guilty
of that charge.
In conversation with representa-
tive of The Daily Press this after
noon Esq Brewer said, upon review
ing the testimony introduced at the
trial of yesterday afternoon, he was
convinced that the evidence against
Messrs. Jesse and Moore was not
sufficient to justify them being held
to the grand jury upon the robbery
charge.
