He Proved Ads Are Read

So many customers were out of town
on vacations that one of our pharma
cist friends in a near by town conclud-
ed that it wasn't worth while to con
tinue his advertisement in the home
paper. He knew the editor well and
called him up and ordered out the ad.
Il don't believe the people see it any
how" the pharmacist informed his
friend, the editor. The latter sug-
gested that it might be well to change
the copy, but the pharmacist had made
up his mind.
The paper came out as usual, but
following the EDITORS Instructions. the
illustration in the pharmacists ad was
upside down. That evening the editor
strolled into the drug store and was

Fifty years ago John Ruskin defined
wealth as the possession of the valu-
able by the valiant.
Ruskin was abundantly ridiculed by
the orthodox economists, but his de-
finitiOn has merit.
Two elements, Ruskin said, enter
into the wealth of a nation-property
and men, the possession and the DOS
SCISSOR. Without a vigorous and accu-
rately functioning people, there can be
no real national wealth.

definitely postponed in the Senate, will
be submitted under the Initiative by
the author. This bin win provide that
the state shall furnish free text books
to all children in the public schools
from the first TO the eighth grades in
elusive. There is also likelihood
that the Highway controversy in some
Of its phases win reach the people
through the Referendum.
Declaring that "Americanism is the
fundamental study upon which our
states and nations existence is bas-
ed'' a bill was introduced in the House
last week to regulate and make uni
form the study of Americanism in the
public schools of the state. When the
Dill was read efforts were made to re-
Ter 1t to a committee, but there was
opposition to this procedure on the
ground that it is proposition of para
mount interest to all good American
citizens and it would therefore be un-
necessary to consider it in committee
as everybody was interested in the pas
sage of the measure. The bill there
fore took its place on the calendar and
was called up in regular form.
The text of the measure follows:
Whereas, no provision exists in the
state laws pertaining to the Public
Schools in the State of Arkansas for
the proper study of Americanism, and
whereas, Americanism is the fun
damental study upon which our States
and Nations existence is based, and
whereas, the American Legion
through its National Americanism
Commission has prepared a booklet
entitled Service For God and Coun-
try" which is being considered by
many states as a text book for the
study of the Constitution, the History
of the United States Flag, and the new
iy enacted flag code, the study of citi-
zenship, and its relationship to govern
ment, and Community recreation.
Now Therefore Be 1t Resolved BY
the General Assembly of the State of Ar
kansas:
Section l. The curriculum for the
Public School Of the State of Arkansas
shall include the study of Americanism
as pronounced in the handbook design
ated as Service to God and Country"
as compiled by the American Legion,
and shall be compulsory course of
study.
Section 2. All laws and parts of
laws in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed"

Figure as you will, you can't get
away from the idea of community
Interest. All who constitute the local
community are intensely dependent on
one another. When we buy our mer-
chandise from out-Of-tOwn concerns,
we take that much business away from
local business firms. If enough busi'
ness is withdrawn from them, they'll
eventually have to quit. Then POca-
bontas would shrivel up. Clerks and
Iaborers and tradesmen would have to
move away. That would directly af-
feet the value of our homes and farms.
Then. who would pay the taxes and
support our public institutions, build
and maintain our streets and roads

edness already incurred? Our, self-in-

Now that the limit has been removed
from the number of acts or amend
ments TO the constitution that may be
submitted by the people, and their
adoption made more convenient by the
provisions that only a majority of the
vote cast on the subject is necessary,
1t is probable that the general elec-
lions hereafter will be clogged with
direct legislation proposals. A small
.er percentage of signatures is required
on initiative and referendum petitions
ana in addition to statewide measures
the citizens or the Quorum Courts of
counties may initiate proposals. The
experience of other states where direct
legislation prevails, notably in Oregon,
and Missouri, is that this method of
legislation is resOrted to extensively at
every election. In other states as many
as thirty questions are submitted to
the people at one time, and they are
expected to study the proposals and
vote upon them intelligently.
There are more than a dozen propo-
sltions pending before the constitution
al amendments committees of the Gen,
eral Assembly, but none of them has
been adopted 10y either the House or
the Senate and it is difficult to predict
what VIII be submitted by the General
Assembly. There is a prospect Of some
.of the acts being referred and il has
already been announced that certain
proposals are to be initiated. The

The modern increase of opportunity
has had two good effects on business ::
first, in doing away with the old cruel
ties of competition, for there is now
room enough for all; and, second, in
abOlishing the last vestige of excuse
for dishonesty, since there is now so
much honest business to be done that
if man prefers swindling it is sim
ply because he has not the ability to
do a business based on service and
value. When opportunity was scarce,
and there were a thousand men for
every chance that offered, they crowd
ed each other out; they invented de-
ceptions and regarded wild speculation
as the proper exercise for business
energy. But, nowadays, when there
are a thousand opportunities to every
wide7awake man, the situation is re-
versed. Opportunity, in its widening
of the economic field, has been highly
favorable to mans moral civilization

What the world needs is more folks
who can inspire people to apply their
knowledge.
Too much knowledge and informa-
tion are presented in such a form that
people either 90 to sleep or are led to
admire the way thing is said rather
than what is said.
We are reminded of an old line from
the classics:
YOU" said Demosthenes to his rival
orator Aeschines, make them say,
How well he speaks l make them
say, Let us march against Philip"
Thousands of teachers are pouring

Slip Covers-And Why.

1t is not very hard to understand
the increasing popularity of slip covers
for furniture. They have ceased TO be
just protection from the sun and
dirt which comes in at the open win
dows in the Summertime. and are
coming to have a very important part
in the decorative scheme of the vari-
Gus rooms.
The old idea of the slip cover was a
somber design of bed-ticking stripes,
with every piece in the room done in
the same material. 1t was suggestive
of nothing quite so much as store
