 Make sure that your children are in fit condition to go to school. There are four things at least to do imme- diately:
 1. Eyes. Children who cannot see clearly are under constant nervous strain, which is bound to affect their health. Have your children's eyes ex- amined by competent eye specialist.
 2. Throats. Have them examined for adenoids and diseased tonsils. To- tai deafness and many serious ill- nesses often come from neglecting this danger zone. If they keep their open and their teeth protrude, it is a sure sign of adenoids. Take

 II was a plain steal on the part of the sugar speculators and calls for nothing less than the limit of punish ment fer the guilty parties
 But it should not nc allowed to end there. even if there are prosecutions. which are hy no means certain.
 There is strong and growing de mand on the part of hte people that congress put stop to all such deals in the future in every kind of commo- dity.
 It is urged that a federal law be passed whereby no purchase or trans fer of ownership can be made without the actual delivery of the commodity to a legitimate wholesaler or retailer, and the punishment for violation of that law should be fixed at nothing less than penitentiary sentence.

SHALL WE HOLD OUR TEACHERS

It can not b. denied tHaJ many other states offer better opportunities fez teachers than afe offered in ArEaH-8s There k srga demand throughout the state for teachers iu all grades from primary teachers To superintendz ents of city schools The higher tlIa grade the more difficult il is to secure desirable persons to fill the positions on account of the low salaries that are paid. Superintendents and principals especially command much higher pay in other states than Arkansas boards are able to allow There are on file in the Department of Education many applications for positions, but the ap- plicants demand on an average soy eral hundred dollars more than rho districts are able to pay. There is apparently q gulf fixed between sal aries asked and offered, that must be passed before the teachers and the schools can get together. This is condition growing out of the financial deficits which confront the greater number af the schools. and can not be overcome until school revenues of the state are put upon more solid basis
