Many parents living In rural com
munities are doubtless debating wheth-
er they should send the boys and girls
who completed the courses in the small
district schools last spring TO high
schools this fall. one question they
probably ask is: 'Wi1 It pay in dollars
and centsT
The United States Department Of
Agriculture and the various state agri-
cultural colleges have made a number
of investigations OF the differences be-
tween the incomes of educated and un-
educated farmers All Of these studies
show that in the majority Of cases the
better trained farmers receive the bet
ter incomes. The results cited in the
following cases are typical Of these
Investigations.
The Department Of Agriculture re-
ports survey OF three represents
tive areas in Indiana, Illinois, and
Iowa, which shows that tenant farmers
with a high school education receive
an average annual labor income Of
$500 a year more than the men with
only common school education. A
college education will add 10 this aver
age S453 year making the income
of college graduates 1919 more a year
than the labor earnings of the men
with only common school education
Cornell University has estimated that
a high school education is worth as
much TO farmer as $4,000 worth of
bonds bearing five per cent interest,
and that a college education is worth
twice that amount.

With the advent OF cool weather in.
the fall, usually in October and No
yember, boil weevils begin TO seek
protection against the winter. The
majority OF the weevils leave the
fields and fly to the nearest shelter
which may be adjoining timber, grassy
turnrows or buildings. The direction
Of their flight is governed partially
by the prevailing winds. The move
ment takes pace when an average
temperature Of so degrees is reached.
The movement into winter quarters
is not sudden aad many weevils may
be found in fields after a majority
have left In some cases II has been
observed that more than thousand
weevils have been found in fields as
late as December 49,
The most favorable places for VIM
tering are those In which there are the
most even temperatures and where
at the same time the conditions are
comparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably is the most favorable shell
ter weeyils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside Of the region In
which Spanish moss occurs, in grass,
stumps, cracks in the ground and
similar places. Very few are ever
found in cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils take
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden but
sometimes during very warm spells
a few in the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter In
the adult stage. When frosts occur
immature stages still may be found
In the squares or the bolls. II the
food supply is sufficient many OF
these immature stages continue their
development at very slow rate ana
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus,
there may be a somewhat continuous
production OF adults during the win
ter. Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since the frosts that de-
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs
The number Of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser'
Vauons made at many localities for
number OF years. In one year only
one weevil out OF hundred survived,
hut, in another case, twenty out OF
each hundred lived through. The lat.
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and II appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
i've weevlls out OF hundred lived
over TO attack the crop the following
year The largest number lives
through where there Is heavy timber
Enough survive any winter TO cause
heavy damage II the spring and sum.

TWO MILLION MORE
FOR STATE SCHOOLS

The third extra session of the legis-
lature, which was held last week for
the purpose Of making some provisions
for the public schools passed the bill
levying a tax on cigars and cigarettes.
1t is practically the same bill which
was declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court as it had not been pre-
viously introduced and passed in ac-
cordance with the law. Efforts made
to repeal the Riggs gross income tax
law were unsuccessful as were sugges-
tiOns made for the enactment of laws
levying tax on net incomes, on privi-
leges, on amusements and other
sources of revenue. Mr.. Riggs, author
of the bill, made a statement that this
law would yield this year not less
than $5O0,000 for the school fund,
Notwithstanding the statements which
have been made that it would not bene-
fit the schools as much as had been
claimed for it.
Senator Jackson says the tobacco
tax is expected to bring in at least
$2,OOO00O annually. This added re-
venue will increase the per capita for
each school pupil TO IS, where it is
now SO.
The extra session closed Monday at
noon after a farewell speech by Gov.
McRae. After thanking the solons for
their work, he declared that he would
not be candidate for reelection.

Not long ago an editor in Oklahoma
wrote up a swell reception. He didn't
want to take chances ON libel suit so
qualified his statement carefully. Here
Is what he wrote: "A woman giving
the name of Mrs. j. c. Jones, who is
reported to be one of the society lead
ers in this section is said to have given
what purpOrted to be reception
yesterday afternoon. 1t is understood
that considerable number of so-called
guests, reported to be ladies notorious
in society circles, were present, and
some of them are quoted as saying
they enjoyed the alleged occasion. 1t
is charged that the firm Bivins and
Spivins furnished the refreshments and
stringham the alleged pearls which
she declares were given here by her

people Yankees and the citizens of Ft.
Smith sneer at the citizens of Osceola
as being snobs from the effete east.
Arkansaa produces the only dia-
mOnds found in North America,
seventy per cent of the words bauxite,
as great a diversification of crop pro-
ducts as all the rest of the earth to-
gether, ninety per cent of all the honest
people in the world, the prettiest girls,
the happiest families and the brainiest
men of any other state of the new
world or nation of the old.
Arkansans are so proud Of Arkansas
that they cannot sleep at night. If an
Arkansan's head should be opened, the
map of Arkansas would be found phot-
ographed on his brain. This is also
true to his heart. Unless your front
gate is eighteen miles from your front
door you do not belong to society as
constituted in Arkansas.
Some Arkansas landowners have
whole mountain ranges and rivers on
their farms. One Arkansan has thirty
three miles of navigable river on his
place. If the proportion of cultivated
land in Arkansas were the same as
Illinois and crop diversification were
as intelligently practised as in Cali
fornia, the value of Arkansas crops
would equal that of all the other forty
seven states.
The chief occupation Of the people
Of Arkansas is to keep from making
al the money in the world. The chief
aim of the people Of Arkansas was
formerly AT each Other-now II is
FOR each other. The chief pursuit of
the people of Arkansas was once the
stray razorback, but now it is moon
sinners, crooked politicians, stock sales
men and book agents.
Arkansas grows enough cotton, which
If baled and built into stairway,
would reach to the pearly gates. II
all the pure-bred hogs in Arkansas
were one big hog he would be able to
dig the Panama Canal in four roots.
If all the Arkansas cattle were one
big COW, she could stand with her
front feet straddling Mexico, one hind
foot i'm Alaska and the other in Green
land and with her tail brush Off the
mist from the Aurora Borealis.
When we say that Arkansas is some
state, we mean SOME state!

One of the most persistent advertis-
ers in the history Of success was Robin
son Crusoe. He knew what he want.
ed-a ship and he put up an ad for
one. He flung a shirt on a pole at
the top of his island; that, in the Ian
guage Of the sea was plain to every
sea-faring man.
The circulation was small-there
was no other medium but Crusoe kept
at IL, despite the fact that he got no
inquiries for long time. He changed
his copy-as one garment after another
was frayed out-and in the end he got
what he wanted.
Suppose Crusoe had taken down that
signal after time and declared "Ad-
vertising doesn't pay" Where would
he and his story be now?
Present day methods of getting re-
suits from advertising are distinct
achievement, and this newspaper will
take your message into the homes Of
hundreds of families in this section,
who buy thousands Of dollars worth
Of the worlds goods each year, includ-
ing everything from cotton socks to
automobiles.
Crusoe advertised under very dis
eouraging circumstances. You have a
sure thing. Advertising in The Star

The glorious Fourth" is here and
all the United States celebrates the
day which has come to mean more in
patriotism than any other.
But there is a great change observ-
able in the spirit of this observance
a change wholly for the better and
marking a refinement Of patriotism,
which is much to be desired.
While we celebrate our independ-
ence, our national birth. we no longer
do so with any spirit Of bitterness, or
of triumph over the England of to-
day. Great Britain and the United
States are firm friends; her Tommies
and our Buddies fought side by side.
We speak the same language, have
the same ideals, struggle constantly
for greater conquests Of peace.
So the independence we celebrate
has come TO he as much independence
of thought independence Of entang-
ing uliidNNtNs lultItillthtt VI Afii-
gion, independence of ideals, as it is
political independence, which has for
50 long been ours that il is no longer
regarded as much as a concession won
by war. as birthrigbt, inalienable
for all Americans,
This is as It should be. Let us
shout for the flag on July Fourth be-
cause Il is the great flag of all man
kind and the banner Of Gods coun-
try; let us make our speech and say
our invocation to liberty, but let It be
liberty Of thought and conscience
liberty Of opinion and action as much
as liberty of legislation and political
action. Let us make Of Independence
Day not only celebration of our pO-
litical entity, but our moral, social,
civil, religious and fraternal entity /;
so shall we show the world that our
one hundred and forty-eight years Of
independence have been years Of spirit
ual growth.

Ihe rule requiring traffic officers

The number of seconds that should

new phase or the rent litigation
was presented today when H. E..
Hutchens and B. D. Young, tenants
of Fontanet Courts, brought petit
tions for writs of prohibition in the
District Court of Appeals, asking the
court to prevent Judge Mary O'Toole
of the Municipal Court from proceed
ing to hear landlord and tenant pro-
ceedings brought against the two
tenants by the Fidelity Storage Co.,
said to be the owner of the building.
The Appellate Court will take the
petitions under consideration.
Through Attorney Raymond NJ.
Hudson, the tenants declare that the
charter Of the Fidelity Storage Co.
does not grant that corporation power
to own and possess real estate, and
the code of the District specifically
prohibits the forming of corporations
to own real estate except for the nec-
essary purposes of its business. Since
the company cannot own the prop
erty, Attorney Hudson contends, it
cannot maintain suits for possession
against its tenants. Unless the Mu-
nicipal Court is retrasined, he states,
a multiplicity of suits will follow, to
the great expense of the Government.
