the value Of exports over imports in
the previous year:
The shift of the balance in trade in
agricultural products in favor of for

Department Of Agriculture today
chiefly to an increased value of i'm
ports and a decrease in the value of
exports. Imports, including forest
products, totaled s2.31o, 100000 last
year, or $3.50, 900 more than in the

Opportunity School Training

GIVE Every Adult a Chance in
1923" is the slogan that has been adop-
ted by the Illiteracy Commission.
There will be special training for Op-
portunity School work at the State
Normal July LIST to 18th and at the
University of Arkansas, July 18th to
August LIST. Miss Willie Lawson, who
is in charge of the Illiteracy Field
Work, reports a great renewal Of in
terest in the Opportunity schools
among the teachers and the pupils.
One term OF school serves only TO give
an adult a desire for more and hun
dreds of cases are known where men
and womeL of mature age have been
taught to read and write through the
agency Of these schools. The splep-
did work already begun must be con-
tinued and teachers throughout the
state are volunteering TO teach the
schools again during the coming sea-
son. One teacher recently remarked {;
I'D rather have my Certificate Of
Appreciation than an amount of mon
ey."

In And Out Of the Banks

The Merchants National Bank Of
Port Arthur, Texas, writes that al
though It was approached by Ford
dealers TO join in the countrywide
plan of bank advertising for deposits
of $500 and upwards" for the pur-
pose Of enabling people TO save for a
Ford car, the directors turned down
the proposition ON the grounds that
the plan was inconsistent with the
policy of thrift, that it might de-
tract from the value of saving for the
purchase of a home or some more
worthy object and that the Christ
mas Saving Club which the bank had
been successfully running for several
years, had more TO recommend it.
These objections were submitted 10
bank which participated in the ad-
vertising plan for its opinion.
1--WE cannot subscribe" was the
reply ito the inference that saving
for the purchase of Ford car is
something wrong or unsound. No
one can deny that the Ford ear has
contributed greatly to the Country's
development. 1t appeals particular
ly to the man of small means and the
artisan, and its possession contributes
no less to his health than to his bust
ness advantage. The possession of
car is second TO that of owning a
home and helps to bring into closer
contact the rural and urban commun-
titles. If any comparison is TO be
made between the saving for Ford
plan and the Christmas Club idea, we
favor the former as the latter, in our
judgment, is sometimes an induce
ment to unnecessary spending and
extravaganza. We much prefer to
help our customers TO finance a
necessity. Street Journal.

Free Masonry and the Schools

The Free Masons Of America are
thoroughly committed to the promo.
tion of popular education. The vari.
Gus Masonic organizations are sup
porting the public schools and are con.
sistently opposing all agencies or in
stitutiOns that are openly opposed
10 this peculiarly American institu-
tion. There are certain strong influ-
ences at work throughout the country
to restrict the influence and retard the
work of free public schools. These
Influences, the Masonic organizations
condemn as enemies of the people. 1t
has well been said by those who are
close students Of public affairs that
Free Masonry and the public schools
are the hope for the future Of Amer
lea. Without their influence in the
upbuilding Of the political social and
industrial morale, America would
soon he in the hands Of inimical agen-
cies that would speedily reduce It 10
a condition Of anarchy and social un-
rest greater even than that which now
prevails. There are in Arkansas more
than $4,000 Free Masons and each
one Of these men is consecrated to
the welfare Of the public school sys-
ten.

Only Pity For A SIanderer

The school children are taking up
the slanderous article about the state
which recently appeared in The Ma
tion, an eastern magazine, written
by one l.. Edison. The whole article
is so ridiculous that Il arouses only
pity for the ignorance of the writer
and the publisher. The statements are
so patiently false and exaggerated that
they fail 10 convince even the preju-
diced mind and fall Of their own
weight. Seldom, If ever, has a state
been so slandered and DETAINED as has
been Arkansas through this silly ar
ticle. II would be merely a piece Of
low humor II II were not so serious
and IL IL had not been so extensively
circulated where people are prone to
to believe anything against the state
that they may see in print. II is GER
tain that the magazine has not gained
any friends in Arkansas by this un-
warranted, malicious and ridiculous
attack upon the good name Of the state
and its people. The school children OF
Arkansas will not forget how vicious
Iy the state has been maligned..

view when ones crop is in the weeds

more interest, better schoolhouses and
