Our Birthday

With this issue the Star Herald en-
ters the forty-fifth year of its exist
ence.
Surviving for all these years the
vicissitudes encountered by a country
newspaper, it has become familiarly
known as the "Old Reliable 1t has
seen many other papers spring up in
Pocahontas, but always the others
dwindled away while the "Old Reli-
able" continued to function.
In building the Star Herald to its
present proportions, the editors have
been ably assisted by an excellent
corps of country correspondents. For
their aid we are sincerely thankful
and now, at the beginning Of our new
year, we call upon them to help us in
making the next fifty-two issues the
best in our history.
A resolution to aid us in this at
tempt is the best birthday present we
could hope for.

Tomato Cannery Busy

The busiest place in POcahOntas just
now is Sallee Bros canning factory.
The plant employs about sixty men,
women and girls and they are all busy
from six-thirty in the morning until
fve-thirty i'm the afternoon.
The capacity of the plant is $500
cans per hour. The average per day
is about 1900 cans per hour. The
payroll will probably run $4,000 per
day and this one item alone means
something to the community, to say
nothing of the money that goes to
the farmers for the raw tomatoes.
If the season this year had been
favorable for tomatoes the sum real
lied from this crop alone would have
been enormous.

MANY RANDOLPH COUNTY
CITIZENS ATTEND MEET

About twenty-five Randolph county
citizens are in Fayetteville this week
attending Farmers Week. This week
is set aside about this time every year
and Arkansas farmers are invited by
the agricultural department Of the
state university to come to Fayetteville

Many instructive and entertaining
features were had last year and those
in charge state that the course this
year is much better and more com

County Agent Kerr who, with his
wife, is in attendance gave us the

This tour viii prove Of incstimable
benefit to those making it, as it will
give them first hand information of
what can be accomplished in this sec
tion Of the state by the growing of
grapes. fruits, vegetables, etc. They
will awake to the fact that the pros
perity being enjoyed by the fruit grow
ers of the northwestern counties, has
been brought about through soil not
nearly so good as that we have in this
section, the only difference being ap-
parently that our farmers have been
enabled to make a living raising other
crops than fruits, while Il number of
years ago citizens Of the northwestern
counties found that they could not
make living raising the crops they
were trying to raise, and turned their
attention to apples, grapes and other
T. uits and vegetables. In other words,
necessity forced the farmers of the
northwestern counties to engage i'm
their present prosperous labor Of rails
inf fruits, while the necessity of get
ting away from the old methods of
farming has not been quite so urgent
in our section.
One Of the very best investments in
time and money our farmers could
make, would he to thoroughly tour
other sections of the state, and espec-
tally the grape and apple growing sec

RURAL EDUCATIONAL
PROGRESS IN ARKANSAS

Arkansas is Southern state, and
in common with all the Dixie com
mOnwealths. her educational progress
has been handicapped by the burden
of large Negro population. amount
ing to One-third of the total in this
case. As is true in nearly all of the
Southern states, however, progress and
Improvement has been gathering mo-
mentum in recent years. A glance at
the 1920 statistics may prove interest
ing in the light of what is to follow.
In comparison with the sixteen states
listed as southern" by the statisti-
clans we find the figures for the pres
.ent of the entire school population en-
rolled in the schools elementary and
high very favorable to the Bear state.
In 1920 $50 per cent of her white popu-
Iation was enrolled giving her fourth
rank and of her colOred population,
S2.4 per cent was enrolled which is
more than ~ per cent above the aver
age for the group.
Arkansas is fundamentally an agri-
cultural state. having few large cities.
Any progress among its rural schools
is particularly important and in this
connection we have interesting data
supplied by W. +. HalbrOOk, upon
his retirement as State Agent for rural
schools after nine years of valuable
service. The campaign for education
has been productive of many improve
ments and has awakened public senti-
ment to realization of the many
things yet to be done.
Among the accomplishments that
have been brought about in the past
decade are: longer terms of school,
more trained teachers, uniform and
standard courses of study, modern
buildings and equipment, consolida-
tion of many weak districts into strong
central districts offering high school
training-in short, substantial growth
of the whole system.
To be specific, Mr.. Halbrook reports
that the number of teachers who had
normal training has increased from

LIGHT ATTENDANCE
AT COUNTY SINGING

The third quarterly convention Of
the Randolph County Singers Associa-
tion was held at Running Lake, five
miles north of POcahontas last Sun
day. On account of the fact that many
reyivals are in progress in different
sections Of the county the crowd was
not as large as usual and there was
not the usual number as classes re-
presented for the same reason. How
ever. "A goodly number was present
and a good program was rendered. A
good dinner and plenty for all was
served by the ladies at the noon hour.
The Running Lake community certain
ly did well i'm the matter of entertain
ing the people.
The convention was opened by sing
ing America and the opening prayer
was offered by Rev. Tyler. The ad.
dress Of welcome was delivered by Geo
II. Steimel and the response by Curtis
IIigginbOtham.
The matter of the selection of n
place for the next convention was left
open, and the president, John d. Camp
bell, was authorized to advertise the
convention for any community that
would like to have the next meeting.
A feature of the musical program in
the afternoon was a number of choice
selections rendered by visiting male
quartette from Portia.

Giants Regain National Lead
Waco Fans Adopt
Western Ways
Toward Umpires

Waco is in Central Texas,
but it's the wild, wild west to
Umpires Hill and Osborn Of the
Texas League.
First reports Of the Wacoans'
western ways were brought here
Saturday b ythe Fort Worth
baseball team.
The other afternoon, the Fort
Worth Cats scored nine runs in
the ninth inning and pulled a
lost ball game out of the fire.
Certain Waco adherents didn't
blame the Cats a bit for that.
They decided Umpires Hill and
Osborn were at fault.
So they kept themselves at
high temperature with hard
language until the game was
over, then chased the arbiters
through town to their hotel.
And some wild westerners in
the party flashed pistols!
Hill and Osborn umpired the
next day but kept eyes OH the
nearest exits every time there
was a murmuring in the stands.
Fortunately, Waco won.
