In an effort to stimulate interest
among the citizens of Winslow in our
schools and especially during Ma
tional Educational Week, the Mall IN
terviewed several prominent people
of the city as to the importance they
attach to education. Every one VINO
was interviewed on the subject is
ira believer in education. 1t goes
without saying that if our schools
are of great importance In producing
future citizens and in perfectlng de-
mocracv, they should receive the at
tention and the support of the peo-
ple. Help make educational week as
successful as possible.
The interviews follow:
"Education is of the greatest i'm
portance in the life of every one.
ONLY through knowledge can clvlllza-
tion perfect itself Every one shoulo
avail himself of the opportunity 10
get an education" Mr.. R. G. Kauf-
man. cashier of the Union Bank and
Trust Company.
"Education is the key that unlocks
the door to progress. Only as peoples
and nations are educated do they go
forward. Savage and half-civilized
paopIes are what they are because
thev lack knowledge and do not kno"
anv better. Educate them, show
them how to be and do different, and
thew respond to the new knowledge,
and rise in the scale Of civilization.

and was one of the hits of the pro-
gram. A vocal solo was rendered by
Miss Loretta Bauer Her selection
was an extremely pleasing one.

speech of his brother, Glen Evans,
who spoke before the assembly a
short time ago. Bob proved himself
a first-class comedian, gaining an
overwhelming response from his
auditors Misses Bernetta Williams

Prominent ViI7SIOWanS Give
Views Concerning Education

They take their places among the
useful citizens of the world. The
same is true of what we call Hitter
ates. What they need is education.
Give it to them, and they quickly rise
in the scale of citizenship and take
their places among the useful citizens
of the community and the nation.
But education has no stopping place.
It is for the educated so called, as
we'll as for the uneducated. One
never reaches point where he
should cease to learn. And that is
one object in what we call educa-
tional week, namely, to stimulate the
interest in education along all lines
and among all classes of citizens"
Rev. w. L. Martin, pastor of the
Christian church.
Education is becoming more i'm
portant in every line of endeavor.
1t is up to every community to pro-
vide proper facilities Of education for
the younger generation. The one
that gets ahead nowadays has the es-
sentials of education. "-B. B. Neel,
vice-president of the Bank of Win
slow
"In a democracy, education must
be a passion, or our experiment in
government is doomed to be short
lived. A wrong conception Of educa-
ton will prove as truly fatal. In
formation is not necessarily educa-

Decides Marriage
is Preferable to
Staying in Jail

John NJ. Supler, arrested Monday
at Mexicali and turned over TO the
sheriff's office On a charge of se-
duction, is today a free man, if it
can be said that a married man is
free. After thinking things over in
the county Jail, Supler decided that
the best way out of his difficulty
was marriage and made known his
w;Shes to the district attorney s
office.
Yesterday afternoon Supler was
taken from the Jail to the county
courthouse, where he took out a IL
cense to marry Ruth McKeel and
then was brought before Judge NJ.
w. Conkling, in department No. !
of the superior court, to have his
trial. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and upon being advised that
Supler was desirous of marrying the
girl, the court granted his request
TO be placed on probation.
( With this weightv problem off his
mind, Supler was willing to take the
more weighty one of married life
and was married to the girl in
Judge Conkling's chambers, the
judge himself performing the eere-
mony. Having fulfilled the require
ments of justice Supler was allowed
TO go free, except for the bonds of
matrimony, which will help TO keep
him on the straight and narrow
path.

In 1920 Cummings married Blonde
Irene Shaw, of Orange, N. J. She
is 25.
With approach of the end of thea

no pay days, no alimonv.
Mrs. Cummings No. l had decided
on a bungalow at Freeport, while
her ex-spouse and her successor We're

About that time the first Mrs
Cummings figured two women could
