Resolutions

This resolution was adopted by the
Reyno Baptist church July 10, 1923:
Whereas, the Christian Sabbath, the
Lords Day, is the day that God rested
from all His work of creation, and
Whereas, Commanded His ancient
people to keep the Sabbath day holy,
and
Whereas, Our Savior and His apos-
ties used the Sabbath day for worship
and doing good, and
Whereas, The Sabbath day has
been made a national holiday and is so
recognized by the laws of Arkansas
and
Whereas, The opening of places Of
business and the selling of goods on
the Sabbath day in Reyno is an act Of
lawlessness and misrepresents our
splendid citizenship at large, there
fore, be it
Resolved, that we urgently request
all business concerns in the town of
Reyno to keep their business closed on
the Sabbath day except those allowed
to be open by law.
Resolved, further, that a copy of
these resolutions be spread on our
minutes, copy placed in each bust

Schools and the Extra Session

No backward step was taken by the
recent session of the General Assem-
bly, in the educational program Of the
state. While much was done a great
deal more might have been accomplish
ed. 1t is unfortunate that in the midst
of a statewide discussion of things to
be considered at the extra session, in
terest centers in good roads, automo-
bile taxes and other things and no
mention is made of the crisi confront
ing our public school system. Ger
tainly there is no institution in the
state that so vitally concerns every
child. The schools are struggling as
they have never struggled before for
a mere existence. Decreasing reye-
nues and increasing costs present a
problem for which no one has offered
a practical solution. This solution
must come before our schools are Civ
en- relief and our children provided
with the equal opportunity which they
Justly merit. our schools should not
be neglected in the extra session.

Where Everything is Ideal

The young reformers were having
debate and when they had agreed
that everything was just about as cor
rupt as it could be- a grim-faced man
arose. i"What you seem to want,
friends is a place where everyone has
to be good by law
That's it," agreed the reformers
"Where smoking is not allowed and
such a thing as drink is unknown.
Where no-one need worry about food
and clothes. Where every one keeps
regular hours"
"Oh, to find such place." said a
soulful fellow.
Easily found" replied the grim
man. 1--WE just come out from doing

producer Of from $500. 900 to $500, 900

comes general. The Live stock exchange
has had commission considering reduc
ton for several weeks but it is said the

Before and during the war a carload
OF hogs worth $500 was sold for Si2.
said John Burke of the Progressive cont

yards. THE present price of hogs is
about SO ID per cent OF their wartime
value but the commissions on a carload
of hogs now worth about 81, 800 is SIG and

the same glazing increases.
Another charge we have decided to

Tendency to Idleness
I have been told that thinkers and
philosophers are fretting over the
dread consequences to be expected
from new tendency which they pro-
fess to perceive-a tendency to lazi-
ness and professional idleness IN a
certain class of young Americans.
am told that the sons of millionaires
do not work. Maybe it Is so. l have
seen no signs of it, and in my case
1 doubt If the tendency be strong
enough to constitute a real danger.
A few days ago 1 met the owner
of a&business whose annual turnover
amounts to the best part of billion
dollars. He has six sons; all six
work every day in their respective
departments and all six know the
business from A to q. Only one even
has been to college. Another multi
millionaire whom I know personally
and who owns the largest business of
its kind in the world, is able to leave
it in the hands of his son with com
plete confidence whenever he desires
to take rest. 1 know from personal
observation during the past few
weeks that these cases are not ex-
ceptional. However, America has
reached a stage in her development
when a certain amount of idleness
cannot do much harm, especially if,
as appears to be the case, the idlers
are fostering the growing interest in
art and the refinements of civiliza-
ton.
American men might do well to re-
lax a little. 1t would be good for
the country, 1 think. There is very
little danger of their going to ex-
tremes in that sense. The men of
America are physically and morally
among the finest types have ever
met. 1t would be a racial disaster
to allow the reservoir of nervous en-
ergy to be exhausted before the ma
tons destinies are accomplished
