SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY
The pubile shcool will open
Monday, September 5. It is
hoped that parents will see to
it that their children are on
hand the first day for classi
fication. It is an unusually
bright pupil who can make a
grade in less than one year’s
work, therefore in order to
put our school on a more
thorough sabis we wil re-1
thorough basis we shall re
quire not less than 8.r> per
cent attendance record for
promotion. No senior who
does not make a record of
90 per cent in attendance will
be permitted to graduate.
We trust that the patrons
of the school will assist us in
every possible way to main
tain, in all grades, a high per
centage of attendance, and
thus make it possible for us
as teachers to derive the very
best possible results from our
work with their children.
Our music department will
be under the direction of Miss
Adys Allison of Buckner,
Ark. Miss Allison has had
her training in the Ouchita
College Conseivatory, and
pupils who do their music
work under her will receive
college credit for the same.
This is an advantage not for
~ uvn. milivoii
Patrons are cordially invit
ed to visit our school at any
and all times they choose to
do so. Let us put forth our
best efforts to make this the
most successful year in the
history of our school.

Superintendent.
LAST ZINC MINE
QUITS BUSINESS
Mtn. Home, Aug. 29.—The
last zinc mine in the North
Arkansas zinc field ceased
operation at Zinc a few days
ago, due to the low price of
ore. There is not a single
mine running in the field at
this time, a condition that has
not existed for the past 20
years, it is said. The mine at
Zinc was known as the Odum
mine, the last ore they sold
only brought $14 per ton,
which was below cost of pro
ducing the ore.

TRUCKLING TO GERMANY
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The treaty of peace entered
into between the United
States and Germany is a one
sided document. It does not
explain itself. In order to
understand it one must hold
it in one hand and ihe Ver
sailles treaty in another. In
spite of themselves,Mr. Hard
ing and Mr. Hughes are com
pelled to recognize the Ver
sailles treaty. The Senate of
the United States refused to
ratify it. The majority of
the members oenounced* it.
They took it back to the
White House. President Wil
son might have taken the
treaty and thrown \t in the
river. So in spite of Lodge
et. al., the Versailles treaty
will be in the Senate.
The present treaty de
nounces certain sections in
thp Y^PV»*Qillp>a fronts on.l
adopts other sections of that
treaty.
The framers of the present
treaty were either too lazy
to incorporate the adopted
sections of the Versailles
treaty verbatim, or they were
fearful that if they were read
in the Senate they might
throw the bitter enders into
a fit. So they contented
themselves with merely num
bering the paragraphs that
they liked and the para
graphs that they did not like.
The present treaty is a cau
dal appendage to the Ver
sailles document.
Of course Germany will j
consent to the treaty because I
14- MArtult -. •«-. ^-1—- —. TJ JL t
putting no penalty * whatever
upon Germany for having
sunk our ships and threaten
ed our destruction and hav
ing forced us to go to war
in order to maintain our na
tional honor and keep safe
the life of the republic.
As the treaty reads there
is no regret for the Ameri
can soldiers who died in de
fending our country and no
mention, whatever, of the de
struction of the lives of Am
erican sailors before we en
tered the war.
When the treaty becomes
colored with age some stu
dent looking it over will won
der why it was that the
United States went to war
with the kaiser’s people. The
treaty in its silence on the
causes of the war and on Ger
many’s conduct is apologetic,
shifty and pusilanimous.
