The Education Bill

A measure in which all NasOns Of
Arkansas as well as the entire nation
are Interested is known as the Educa-
tional Bill, providing for the creation
Of department Of education with a
secretary in the Presidents cabinet,
and authorizing appropriations from
federal funds for public school pur-
poses.
A score or more of grand lodges
have endorsed this legislation under
the name of the Smith h-TOwner bill or
the Towner-Sterling bill in previous
Congresses. The supreme Council Of
the. Southern Jurisdiction Of the Scot
fish Rite is earnestly supporting the
movement, and the Eastern star, repre-

The Farmer and the Banker

What the farmer needs most in his
baul, relations is to establish such con
ncction between his banker ana him
self as to he able to get from his bank
cr the service he needs and the accom-
modation he is entitled to. | shall
suggest four ways to do this.
/. The farmer ought to discuss his
business affairs with his banker as
freely and fully as he ought to discuss
his physical condition with his physi-
clan or his legal problems with his
lawyer Many a farmer has failed to
get as his bank the service he desired
and the accommodation ne was entitled
to because ne failed sufficiently to take
his banker into his confidence. 4
banker holds the information that his
client gives him about his affairs in
just as strict confidence as the physi-
clan holds the information he gets
from his patient about his physical
condition. And if the farmer has not
enough confidence in his banker to
open up to him in n free and easy way
about his business affairs, then ne
ought to seek banker in whom he
does have such confidence. Where the
farmer does open up to his banker to
discuss his business affairs, he enables
L. Ia h.,g IN.
conduct his business in such way
as to get the very best service out Of
his bank.
. Another way in which the farmer
may cooperate with his banker to
their mutual advantage is 10y giving
prompt attention to the dates when
his notes mature. Several days before
a note is due. the bank notifies the
maker of the maturity date and asks
him To come in and arrange ii. If the
note is not paid or renewed on the date
it is due. then it becomes a past due"
note aud the presence of past due"
notes in any bank subjects that bank
to criticism. Oftentimes the farmer
knows that he cannot pay his note and
knows that the banker knows that he
cannot pay it at the time. He thinks
that 1t will make very little difference
to his bank If he lets the note go past
due for few days. Consequently he
lets the paper 90 past due week or
10 days until it is convenient for him
to 20 to his bank and pay up the in
terest and renew it. Meanwhile, his
banker is embarrassed and subjected
to criticism for having past due"
paper on his fles.-The Progressive
Farmer.

Agents Guided to 1,0Oo-GaIIon
Outfit BY Chugging of
Steam Pump

Guiding their steps by the chug-
ging of a steam pump. a quartet
of prohibition agents under the lead
ership of Thomas E. Wheeler at
dawn today captured a 1,000-gallon
still on a farm at Floral Park, Md,
twelve miles from the District
The still, the agents report, which
was fifty yards from a farm house,
is the largest ever confiscated in the
Leonardtown vicinity. Floral Park
is on the road to Leonardtown and
in the vicinity where so many re-
cent raids have been engineered by
the local prohibition office.
Arthur Smith, Colored, the only
one found at work on the still, and
who is said to be the only occupant
Of the farm house near it, was ar
rested by the agents and was taken
to Baltimore for arraignment. Smith
is accused of manufacturing and
possession.
The agents report that the still
was operated by steam and a steam
pump brought water to the scene.
In addition to the still, the agents
seized and destroyed, according to
their report to Divisional Chief Har-
ry Luckett today, $50 gallons OF
corn whiskey, 5000 gallons of mash,
small quantity of sugar and meal
and some coal.
The agents who participated in
the raid, besides Wheeler were S.

THE cows CUD.

An editorial writer on a Chi

few children know what a cows
cud is, and thinks it awful that
they are not better informed
about the anatomy of the beasts
which furnish them great
share of their food"
Thousands of grown people
are equally nonplussed as to
what a cows cud is. Some of
them think it a species of ami
NAL chewing gum not bought at
cut-rate drug stores at three
packages for 10 cents.
Some folks call the cud could
While others call 1t "kud,"
But they don't know what 1t is
To them it may be mud.
But the cows chew 1t every day,
They regard 1t "fine as silk
Without It they wouldn't be cOntented
And wouldn't give any milk.

Senate's Power to Compel
Testimony Upheld by Court
in Sinclair Case

An investigating committee Of
Congress has the right to compel
private citizen to appear before
it and testify concerning matters
relative to the investigation, it
was held, in effect, today by JUS
tice Hoehling of the District SUI
preme Court in overruling the de-
murrer filed by Harry F. Sinclair,
millionaire lessee of Teapot Dome
oil field.
Sinclair recently was indicted
for contempt of the United States
Senate for refusing to testify
before the Senate Public Lands
Committee. His attorneys filed
demurrer attacking the indict-
ment on the ground that the
Senate was without authority to
compel Sinclair to testify.
Senate's Authority Upheld.
Justice Hoehling, in a memoran.
dunn opinion handed down sustain
ed the authority of the Senate to
require Sinclair to answer six Of the
nine questions submitted to him by
Senator Walsh, chairman of the
Teapot Dome investigating COM
mittee.
The court decided that three of
the questions propounded by Senator
Walsh are not pertinent, and the
tenth count of the indictment, &C.
cording to the court, is bad, be-
cause it does not aver an offense
under the statute.
Sinclair, represented by ATTORNEYS
Martin w. Littleton, j. w. Zevely,
George P. Hoover and G. T. STAN
ford, filed demurrers and motions to
quash the indictment and the
prosecution filed a motion to dis
miss the motion to quash, the case
being argued before Justice Hoeh-
ling.
Echo of Oil Indictment.
The court held that the first.
second, fourth, fifth, eighth and
ninth counts of the indictment are
questions pertinent to the subject
matter, and that Congress has law
full authority to require answers
thereto and that the third, sixth
and seventh counts do not embrace
questions pertinent to the subject
matter; and that the tenth count of
the indictment does not aver an
offense under the statute. The case
at issue grows out Of the refusal Of
Sinclair to answer the question
asked by Senator Walsh.
The committee referred the ASK
ter to District Attorney Gordon for
submission to the grand jury which
presented an indictment in ten
counts against Sinclair March 81
charging violation Of section 1o2 OF
the revised statutes OF the United
States by refusing 70 answer ques.

n T v PARKWAY
WORK MAKES
PROGRESS
Plans Connecting Rock Creek
and East Potomac Park
Pushed by Sheriff.

Plans for the Rock Creek Park.
way. connecting Rock Creek Park
with Potomac Park, are progress
ing rapidly. with park engineers
working under the $4,000 appropria-
ton granted for this purpose by
Congress.
This project, with the proposed
Arlington Memorial Bridge, are the
two most urgent developments now
under the consideration of the De-
partment Of Public Buildings and
Grounds, in the opinion of Colonel
c. c. Sheriff., officer in charge.
Affording boulevard connecting
the northwest sections of the city
with the downtown area, without
a single intersecting street or ave-
nue., the plans, if adopted, will re-
lieve considerably the congestion of
rush hours on Sixteenth street and
Connecticut avenue, according to
the engineers. 1t is on this mater.
ial basis that Colonel Sheriff. feels
the business organizations Of the
city should support the plan.
Looks for Support.
With a boulevard on which the
speed limit will be much higher
than on other highways because of
the lack of danger from intersecting
streets, the proposed parkway will
make the distance from the suburbs
to the offices matter Of minutes.
according to Colonel Sheriff., and
for this reason he thinks the rroiec,
will enlist the enthusiastic support
of the business clubs. The officer
feels that all that is needed 20 make
the plan a fact is Washington citi.
zens to sell the idea to Congress.
The land needed for the parkway
Is all under the control of the
department or in the process OF
condemnation, ard with the plans
neatly completed, Congress needs
but to appropriate the money. and
the plan will socr be an actually.
Will Build Sea Wall.
Construction would begin at the
lower end of the valley. A sea wall
would be built along the river from
the southern extremity to link
up the parkway with the Lincoln
Memorial.
The plans es Low drawn for the
parkway call for che main highway
all the way from the Zoo 20 Lincoln
Memorial. with three roads at
various points along the way. wher..
the natural terrain makes this DOS.
sible.
In the section Of Rock Creek
parkway from Q street down to
Pennsylvania avenue, the plans call
for three roads, one on the east
rim Of the valley, another on the
west rim and the third following
the stream in the valley below.
The three roads would merge at
Pennsylvania avenue, and continue
as one road to Lincoln Memorial,
From @ street north to the Zoo.
there would be probably only one
roadway, as the terrain is so
shaped that more would be i'm.
practicable.
One of the biggest jobs in the
construction of the parkway will be

achusetts avenue, which at present
blocks the valley. Development of
the scenic phase of the parkway
will probably follow the other con.

traffic policeman, who was driv-
ing the motorcycle that caused
the death of seventeen year-old
Mae Foreman, on the Camp

Major Daniel Sullivan, super

Waddell's suspension is the
latest Of the list of suspended
policemen, who have been sepa-
