Of a 6 PER CENT ILLITERACY IN
THE UNITED STATES
THE figures are based on the test
which defines an illiterate as one
having no schooling whatever, Re.
neml irg the wide freedom of our
publ, schools, with compulsory at
tendance in many states in the I'm
ion, one is convinced that much of
our excessive illiteracy comes to us
from abroad and the education of
the immigrant becomes requisite to
MS Americanization.
ut must be done if he is fittingly
to exercise the duties as well as
snjoy the privileges, Of American
citizenship. Here is revealed the
special field for Federal co-operat-
ON in furthering education"

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN RURAL TELEPHONES
Score of Years Ago Telephone
Communication Was Prac-
tically Unknown on Farms.

Remarkable advances have been
made during the past few years In de
velOping telephone communication IN
the rural districts of the United
States.
To-day there are more than 100000
farms Ia the United States equipped
with telephones, while twenty years
ago telephone service was practically
unknown between farmers This
means that nearly tw0-hiths of the
farms IN this country have telephone
service The spokane Daily ChrOni.
Gle states hat 40 per cent Of the
farms in the slate Of Washington are
eqnippcd with telephones, while Ia
Iowa The figure runs up 10 SO per cent
In the states beginning with Missouri
and Kansas, and extending uOrthward,
where Automobiles are most numer-
Gus, 20 per cent of the farms have
telephone service.
III no other country has the develop
ment Of rural telephone service reach
ed such an advanced stage
The familiar sight Of telephone
poles along country roads, as seen in
this country, h practically unknown IN
the majority of foreign countries
Most Of the 100000 farms equipped
with telephones are reached by the
twenty-five companies comprising the
Bell System and 5000 Independent
companies Also connecting with these
lines are about 10000 rural assOcia-

The report has gone out that the Of
ficers are dragging" the lake to
find the torture machine. Klansmen
are keeping close watch on the offic-
ers to see where they are building
it and see when they throw it in the
lake SO it can be found" The ex-
istence of torture machine is not
given one moments credence by peo-
pie on the ground.
These facts have never been pre-
scented to the public for the reason
that the Catholics control the mach
inc that is conducting the hearing at
present. Officers of Morehouse Par
ish have nothing to do with the hear
ing. 1t is being conducted by officers
from Baton Rouge and Washington
under the direction of Governor Par
ker, every one of whom is Roman
Catholic. To show that they are in
control, note the following facts ad-
duced during Investigations and
vouchd for by the best citizens of
Northern Louisiana:
CATHOLICS IN CONTROL
|. Governor Parker's wife is a
Catholic and his daughter is in con-
vent.
2. Acknowledgement A. V. Coco,
a Identified Mason, has joined the
Catholic Church and the Knights of
Columbus.
). Federal Investigators sent here
by William j Burns, Knight of Col
umbus chief of the Department of
Justice Bureau of Investigation are
active therein.
4. All State investigators are
Catholics.
In addition to this, Catholics have
seen to it that many of the CORES
pondents sen here to report the
harmg are Catholics or have strong
prot Catholic tendencies.
The principal delight of newspaper
correspondents seems to be in dig
ging pwild and fanciful yarns and
will take anything anyone will tell
them, sending it out to their papers
as facts. A few nights ago r. +.
Rhodes, correspondent for the
Shreveport Times, who has been one
of the greatest exaggerators in the
newspaper corps, was arrested for
drunkenness When araigned before
the Mayor, he pleaded that his paper
DO not told or he would lose his posi-
ton The mayor lectured him for
his exaggerations and then begging
mercy of the town, RENTED the fine
and let him go.
HEARING NOT LEGAL"
The hearing" conducted here has
no legal standing, 1t is simply a
prosecutors inquiry to see if he has
a case. Witnesses who are suspected
of having any testimony that would
throw light on the other side are not
allowed to testify. Those who do
testify are protected from cross-ex-
animation.
Bringing troops to Morehouse
Parish is regarded as "A gross insult
by the citizens of the parish. Never
at any time has there been any need
for troops in the present situation,
and now most of them have been sent
back to their homes. II is believed
this move was made by Governor
Parker as a grandstand play for the
benefit of the Knights of Columbus.
As soon as the Acknowledgement
has finished his inquiry" the case
probably will be laid before the
grand jury, although even this is
doubtful. II is entirely probable
that he may cause a change Of venue
in order to get away from the wave
Of resentment against him
In the meantime, the vigilant com
mittee is as vigilant as ever and will
maintain its watch over the welfare
and morals of the community.

By the Associated Press
NssMOSCOW, October 1S.-Soviet Rus

depicting a stern-visaged red soldier
watching the Polish border, with the
caption: They are rlsking it to pass

The calling up OF the territorials

militia training plan and probably
has no particular significance. but II

The so-called white terror in Po-
land, where communists are appar-
entity suspected OF causing the dIsas-
trous explosion in one OF the Warsaw
forts, occupies prominent space in
the newspapers, and the efforts of
''the German reactionaries to crush
the budding workers governments in
Saxony and Thuringia" are occupying
the close attention OF the communists

Household Suggestions
Jelly Preserve.

Paraffin will keep your jellies from

Systematic Housekeeping.
Have a'plan for every days house
keeping routine. 1t saves time and
keeps order.
Clean Drain.
Always keep a small strainer in
your kitchen sink to catch the parti-
cleS of food that might block the
drain.
Old Medicines.
Every six months it is a good plan
to go through the medicine cabinet
and throw away the most ancient
remedies. Often medicines lose their
efficacy by standing a long time, and
others undergo chemical changes
which make then unfit for use.
To Clean Sink.
Remove all bits Of vegetables that
may have escaped the sink strainer

NOTE FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO SYDNEY CARTON
MY DEAR SYDNEY:

NY DEAR SYDNEY:
No one but bachelor. who had
never had the financial responsible
ties of wife and baby, would ever
buy such a gorgeous and expensive
baby carriage as You have sent me.
hir, am sure the manufacturers made
! that carriage purposely for wealthy
godfathers 10 use as presents TO their
more or less impecunious gOdsons.
l watched Juniors nurse. Sarah.
wheeling the baby yesterday Cbecause
the carriage was so grand l had TO
put Sarah in uniform-AlSatian
nurses cap and alb and honestly. |
felt quite like Mrs. Vanderbilt send
ing out her first born.
II was wonderful of you, sgd, but
it is almost too grand for common
folk. i am going TO keep it all love
~ for you and shall be sending il
back TO you for your first born.
L think Alice is coming home a lit
tie sooner than ] had expected and s.
I am going 10 defer the christening
OF the baby for n little while.
He is so sweet. II l had picked
him out from all the babies in ihH
world l could not have one l shol!d
like better.
Come up and ser him. please. and
see what you think of YOUR friend.
Jack. as a proud papa. Do you know
he sits by the cradle and watches that
baby by the hour: told him thu
other day he VS. looking 10 see II
he couldn't impress his face upon the
lineaments of the child. and what do
you suppose he said: No. dear. m

tie fleeing expression which occa-
sionally makes me think he looks Ike
me-
Honestly. sgd. he does have that
little ouirky smile and. much 70 nv
delight the other day. I found hir
raising one OF his eyebrows in the
middle just as Jack does when be
isn't altogether happy.
OF course. | expect thousands OF |
babies have these little idiosyncraSieS. I
but isn't 1t nice that We have happen 4
ed TO get one of them:
Again let me thank Won FOR the I
gorgeous baby carriage. | expect. J
though. that n carriage as fine rs :
that should never be called ANYTHING
but a peramublator. l noticed that
is what you called II.

Today, ats, he is again master. OF
the situation and merely smiles at the
trick fate played on him. His phil
osophy summed up is this: ,t|
opportunity does nat knock only
once. 1t is constantly knocking.
And no door should be barred to it
merely because these is a SHY super
stition about the dead level age past
which none may trear to ambition"
As for "Borax" Smith. Greater of
the huge borax industry in the
United States and one. of the most
typical and picturesque characters of
the west, his story is familiar to most
everyone.
When So. Smith saw a fortune esti-
mated at S20,000-the result. of 10
years work-turn to dross in his
hands. The reverse left him destitute
and for time it was said that he
had disappeared"
During 1921 however, he staged as
spectacular a comeback as his en-
trance into high finance had been in
1870. And today he is regarded king
of the borax industry once more. and
owns pretentious home on either
end of the continent purely because
he had grit and dared 10 give the lie
TO the popular belief that for failures
after 80 there is no hope.

coffee.
Cream Butter and Sugar.
Use a wooden spoon and cream the
butter before adding sugar. Add sugar
slowly and by the time all is used the
mixture will be creamy.
Save Scrubbing.
Before cleaning vegetables or
trimming meat, puta paper on your
kitchen table. 1t is easier TO remove
that than to scrub the table.
Work at Ease.
Don't bend over your table. wash
tub or ironing board. Have them
raised rather than strain your own
back.
