Some people really seem to know
more than is good for them. Others,
although knowing less, have the happy
faculty of being able to adjust them
selves to conditions and make the best
of them.
If anything is wrong with the world
they don't know It.
Their formula for getting along and
ahead is as simple as a Mother Goose
rhyme. They work every day, live
within their income, buy little life
insurance, and deposit some money
each payday in the bank
They seem to be totally oblivious to
the hysteria of the wise ones, which
asserts that the middleman is a para
site, that insurance companies are
thieves, and that bankers are robbers.
Possibly they may know that the
money for which banks pay their de-
positors three or four per cent is loan
ed to others at five or six per cent;
they may have heard that somewhere
between the farmer and themselves
one hundred per cent is added to the
price per bushelshrdlu shrdlu shrdlu
price of a bushel of apples, that a
twenty-year payment life policy is
safer bet for the insurance company
than ordinary life. and that an employ
er always tries to make a profit out
of his business.
We say they may have heard these
things, but being supplemented, they
take the world as il is and make the
best Of what is offered.
They take what they can get, and
let the other man keep what he can.
Is there wisdom in this? We realize
that for some people this philosophy
is altogether too Grass. too individual
istic. Such are entitled to exercise
their intellects, and we applaud their
Indignation. At the same time we adj
mire the canniness of those who are
wise enough to play the game while
the others fight about the rules.

Action Needed Now
to Assist Schools

School boards reporting to the cam
paign committee have in virtually
every instance called for immediate
adoption of Amendment No. Is as the
only available plan for relieving the
situation now so heavily weighing
down upon the public schools of Ar
kansas. 1t is hoped with the adoption
Of the amendment to abandon such
temporary expedients as tuition
schools, short terms, and loss of eff
fciency through reduction of the size
Of faculties.
The principal reason against delay
in coming to the assistance Of public
schools is that the financial resources
of hundreds of districts will no longer
stand the strain, and suspension seems
to be inevitable. The second reason
is that the problem would become in
creasingly more difficult if deferred
beyond the present, and might event.
ually require such heroic measures as
to be beyond the reach of Arkansas
people.

M'Rae Again Aiding
Cause of Education

Although his record might be con-
l'dered as sufficient proof of his vital
interest in public education, former
Governor Thomas c. McRae is again
at work in behalf of the public schools
Of Arkansas, this time as chairman Of
the state campaign committee in sup
port of Amendment No. 10. The
amendment proposes to grant local
school districts authority to vote a
school levy as high as IS mills, and
will be submitted to the citizenship at
the general election October 5.
The close relation between colleges
and high schools is indicated by the
fact that DR.. ], H. Reynolds, presi-
lent of Hendrix, and Col. H. L. Nc
Alister, director of the State Teach
ars College department Of extension,
have devoted the greater part of the
summer to their duties as campaign
directors. Other college educators
have been tireless in their efforts to
bring to the citizens a true report on
Arkansas public school education.
Another phase of the campaign is
worth mention. The effort has been
held altogether to a report on the ac-
tual situation, with the citizens left to
form their own decisions as to the
need of more revenue. AS expressed
by DIR. Reynolds, comprehensive sur
vey of Arkansas conditions is enough
20 convince any citizen that larger
support must be given the puolic
tchools.

Cy Adams Says:

A pattern is a mighty good thing to
go by-if you have the right pattern.
When in an argument involving
taste-remember that some persons
don't like sugar in their coffee, and
some do.
An argument is like most folks ap-
pendix-it ought TO be cut out.
The city man who tells us that the
farmer doesn't work enough gets lit
tie sympathetic response from the
fellow who has been in the field from
smup till shutdown. The guiltless in
dividual doesn't appreciate a criti-
cism aimed at the guilty group.
The least one can do these days is
to be careful-and even at that an
accident policy might be recommend

is a fool-and the motorist knows the
pedestrian is.

Farm Clubs Helped
Greatly by Schools

Experience in Arkansas and other
states has proved that the areas hav-
ing the best public schools also make
the best showing in support OF boys
and girls farm clubs as operated by
the farm and home extension service
The average in such agricultural COM
munities is higher, despite the fact
that occasionally a boy or girl in a
community not particularly favored
in education, manages to break
through and win a state contest.
Both educators and extension work.
ers have found that the better edu-
Gated farm children supply a higher
average record in club work than do
the boys and girls who are handi-
capped by lack of schooling.
Because of this factor, the adoption
of Amendment No. 10, which will be
submitted at the general election Oc-
tober 5, would also greatly help the
extension workers in training the
young generation in better methods
of agriculture.

Most Busted School
Found by M'Alister

In making survey of local school
districts of Arkansas to find the one
in sorest financial straits, the depart
ment Of education located a public
school which, is three full years be-
hnid its revenue. The search disclosed
several that are two years behind the
income from the combined state and
local tax under present limitations.
Still others were found to have de-
icits running from six months to two
years.
However, it remained for Col. H. L.
McAlister, director of the State Teach
ers College department of extension,
to find the most "busted" district.
For obvious reasons, its name is with
held and also the name of the county
in which it is located.
Directors of the district informed
Mr.. McAlister that with expenses held
at the present level for ten years, its
bond issues will have been met. Dur
ing that time, there must be no addi-
tions to the teaching force, no pur-
chase of equipment, or any other i'm
provement, regardless Of the number
of children who may be enrolled.
With a great number of other col
lege educators, Mr.. McAlister is ac-
lively in the field as an advocate of
Amendment No. 13, the public school
amendment, which proposes to give to
local school districts authority to vote
as high as IS mills for public educa-
ton.

Texas Schools Hold
High National Rank

Texas, which has no constitutional
limit on expenditures for public edu-
cation, supplies a direct contrast with
the situation in Arkansas, which has
been brought to public attention by
the submission of Amendment No. 10
for vote at the general election 0c-
tober 5.
On federal reports for 1924, Texas
was the thirty-seventh state of the
union in total expenditures per capita
for government, but was second in the
percentage of these expenditures go
ing to the support of public education.
In other words, only one other state
of the union ranked above Texas in
the percentage of its total revenue de-
voted to public education.
On the same report, Arkansas
ranked thirty-ninth in total expendi-
lures per capita for government, but
forty-ninth in the percentage Of these
expenditures going to public educa-
ton.
To express the same fact in another
way, no other state of the union de-
votes to education so small a percent
age of its total expenditures.
Friends of Amendment No. 10 in
urging its adoption have merely asked
that education be given an increase
in revenue proportionate to that al
lowed other governmental activities.

Without a dissenting vote, the
contract made with the Reclamation
service for the creation of the
Beaver Irrigation district was APP
proved recently. The action taken
by the Beaver unit holders marks

An assault case IL which Bud
Doores of Meeteetse is the defend

MISS LOUISE ELLING
WITH ESTES SCHOOL

Miss Louise Filing, who last

EAGLES SANTA CLAUS
HERE SUNDAY EVENING

There is an old axiom that sit
is a poor wind which bloweth no
man good" but the wind which
blew on Christmas eve surely
brought a keen disappointment to
the kiddies of Cody who had as
sembled at the corner of Sheridan
avenue and Third street to meet
he Eagles Santa Claus who had
been dated here. The wind was
blowing with such velocity that
Santa evidently could not make a
landing and sent an S. o. s., stat
ing that he would drop in on the
Cody youngsters the next evening.
True to his word he appeared on
Sunday evening and from a beauti-
full Christmas tree near the post
office distributed about four hun
dred well filled sacks of candies
and nuts to the youngsters of the
Cody Community. Whatever dis
appointment was felt by his non
appearance on Christmas eve was
made up by his generosity on the
later evening.

JUNE LITTLE WRITES
FROM MINNEAPOLIS STAR

Recently the editor of the Enter
prise had occasion to write the
Minneapolis Star, at Minneapolis,
inserting a want ad" seeking the
whereabouts of a lady of that city.
q sister of a Cody man. who
had not known his sisters address
for twenty years. Did we get ac-
ton? I'll say we did. June Little
got the letter.
With very meagre information
as to the time of the lady's resi-
dence there he simply combed
Minneapolis with a fine toothed
comb. He went through the tele-
phone directory and called every
person who had a name similar to
the one sought. He took the city
directory and personally called at
every place where a person of this
name resided, where there was no
telephone. He looked through the
old directories, back in 1897, and
found the name of a person sought
and ~endeayored to follow out that
lead, but to no avail.
June sure did a thorough Job,
and The Enterprise feels that the
towEsf Cody. Buffalo Biu's town,
has a real friend in Mr. Little.
Thanks June, we hope we may be
able to return the favor some lay.

MRS. L. A. BUCHANAN
FINDS VALUABLE RINGS
Diamonds Owned by Mrs. j. r.
Whitlock of Powell Found in
Snow Near Dr.. LeweIlen
Home

Two diamond rings valued at
from three to four thousand dol
lars were found December 18th,
by Mrs. l.. A. Buchanan, wife OF
Cody business man and have been
returned to their rightful owner.
Mrs. ]. r. Whitlock of Powell. The
gems we're picked up by Mrs. Buch-
anan near the outside of the side
walk at the Lewellen home, dropped
there apparently by Mrs. WhitIock
when she and her husband visited
in Cody recently.
Owing to the fact that the Powell
people had no idea the gems had
been lost at Cody, no advertisement
was published in the Cody paper,
and a "lost" notice appearing in
the screen of the Powell and Cody
picture shows got no attention, It
was not until DR.. Whitlock adver-
tised in the Billings Gazette, a.
daily which has a general circula-
ton here, that. the Buchanan's
noticed the ad, and Immediately got
in touch with the Whitlock's and
returned their gems.
One of the diamond rings was n
three karat clear stone and The
other a dinner ring with thirteen
settings. Mrs. Whitlock had no
idea she lost the jewels at Cody
and had caused a thorough search
to be made of their hospital at
W and worked along the lines
that the rings had been stolen. DR..
Whitlock posted n reward of $500
Tor the return of the rings, and is
fortunate indeed that they fell
into the hands of people of integ-
rlty, otherwise 1t is a very unlikely
thing that they would have been
returned to him even though the
rewar was such a substantial one.
