EDUCATION
The percentage of High
School student of Arkansas
who round out thier education
by taking a business course
that will qaulify them for a
commercial or Industrial
career, is lamentably small.
To stimilate an interest among
the boys and girls in High
Schools of the state, the man
agement of Draughn’s Prac
tical Business. College has
evolved a plan of giving to
the wide-awake high school
students of the state, fifty
scholarships good for unlimit
ed tuition in any department
of the college. The scholar
ships will be awarded to those
who submit the most accurate
containing one hundred ques
tions on current events. These
questionnaires are to be mail
ed this week to the high
school principals, with details
of the plan, to be passed to the
classes. In addition to the
fifty full scholarships, a cre
dit of 25 cents will be allowed
which is applied to the pur
chase of a scholarship in the
college.
“The rewards of business
are many and varied/’ says
R. H. Bewley, president of the
College. “The president of
the insurence company, the
j owner of the automobile plant
| the cashier of a bank, the pro
! priertor of the large retail
i store, the head of the factory,
| the credit man of a wholesale
J concern, the director of a rail
i road, the head of a big adver
tising agency or a steamship
company, these men a few
years ago were enterng the
field of business as book-keep
ers, stenographers or clerical
assistants. Our purpose is to
assist the high school gra
duates of the state to qaulify
themselves for responsible
and lucrative positions.

A NAME
Whats in a name?. There
is much in many of them,
when properly analized. Es
pecially, A.when the. prevalent,
custum of the Southwest is
followed in the coinage of
new names. For inst ance
one of the states largest cities
has such a hybrid designa
tion— Texarkana, is named
for three states, Texas, Ark
ansas, and Louisana. There
are numerous other instances,
in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas, as Arkla, Arkmo,Tex
ola, and scores of other more
or less musical names. Down
on the Memphis, Dallas &
Gulf, there is a town called
Memdag,— get the combina
tion? An unromantic postal
department is changing the
name of the postoffice to Bon
nerdale, but they cant get a
i way from Memdag. On the
| same road is Hempallaco,
named for J. H. Wallace,
one of the prominent citizens
of Hempstead county, and
there is another town on the
same line, Rabell, that aspires
the distinction of petitoning
the Coperation Commision for
a depot. But name— philo
logists of the future might
waste much valuable time in
theories* about the origin of
that name. It’s very simple,
however, when it is observed
that one of the signers of the
petition is R. A. Bell.

SCHOOL ELECTION
The annual school election
will be held throughout the
state as fixed by lav/ on the
third Saturday in May. This
is one of the most important
elections in which of the state
are called upon to participate.
We must without fail look well
at this time to the needs of
our schools.
We owe it to ourselves,
to our children, and to our
America, at this time, to make
our schools as efficient as
possible.
Let every school board have
a meeting at once, determine
the needs of the coming year
then be ready to submit in the
way an estimate of funds
necessary for the next year’s
school.
“In the background, nutur
ing the great reserves of
humanity on which the future
must be built, stand the
never so indespensble as now.
never so lndespensible as now.
The biggest of all conserva
tions projects, the conserva
toin of our boys and girls has
in the main, been turned over
to the schools. The responsi
bility thus placed upon them
would be appaling if it were
not so tremendously inspiring.
The school election is one
election that every man and
every woman * in Arkansas,
who is interested in education.
In times like these, special
effort should made to stimi
late interest and enthusiasm
in the schools to the end that
They -shall be mantained at
the highest of efficiency. The
best way to secure the success
of our schools is to look well
to securing competent men for
membership on the School
Board. Education is certainly
one of the most important
businesses in which the state
is engaged.
DONT LET IT LINGER
A cough that follows la
grippe or any other cough that
spring wears down to the
sufferer, leaving him or her

a dry, hacking cough and
painsi in my chest, but since
taking Foley’sHoney and Tar

HOW ABOUT YOU
Would you like to be in a
attitude of having some®'
°ffer y,01^ ,feveral hundred
thousand dollars which , Q
need but could not accent?
That is just the attitude tw
the Highway Commision „7
Arkansas appears to be in
with reference to the propos
donation from the Unit??
States Government.
It comes about this
Jo help whip the German
the War Department bought
about $50,000,000 worth of
automobiles and trucks,—that
is a very conserative estimate
There are about 20,000 0f
these used and unused trucks
2, 3, and 5 tons, which the
Government has decided to
donate to the Highway Dei),
artments of various states
Roughly estimated, Arkansas
share would be about 377
trucks. But the state must pay
the freight on them, and this
would amount to ab- it $100
a car, or 37, 700. And then
new bodies must i e put on
them to make them available
for road work. And while the
Commission has plenty of mon
ey, there is none available for
that specific purpose.
So Commissioner Owen is
in a quandary.
Miss Roger Lewis left Sun

FIVE MILLION
CHILDREN

European scientist declared before
a medical congress that five million
children die of worms every year.

the lives of many of these little
ones could have been saved!

years, mothers everywhere have
used DR. THACKER’S WORM]
