Habits formed in youth during
the peroid of school life, will in
fluence and determine largely the
entire life of the individual after
wards. Habits of promptness, in
dustry, work, courtesy, in fact
everything touching the school
life, will never be eradiated. Pu
pil, teacher, parent, look well to
this peroid of life.
A word about the schools—It is
a mistake to teach children a little
of everything and nothing thor
oughly. About all education can
do for a man or boy is to set him
to thinking for himself. The germ
j of originality in the individual
i needs cultivation, needs stimulant,
j The head crammed with other
I people’s ideas has little room for
its own thought. Many a boy is
so thoroughly schooled that the
common sense, the will power, the
self reliant manhood, is driven out
of him. A load of facts with no
i education in their use is of little
value. The most successful busi
ness men in our cities are those
whose scanty education embraced
I a thorough knowledge of simple
rules and studies, but whose ne
; cessities have since demanded vig
j orous thought, incessant industry
! and the best use of every resource
j of mind and body. The hotbed
| system of education enfeebles
; rather than strengthens. Only a
few require the classics, astronomy
or a knowledge of the dead langua
ges.

The Arkansas State Fair Queen
Contest closed Saturday, Sept., 7.
Miss Ruth Powell, the contestant
from this city through this paper
received 1059 votes but not a suf
ficient amount to win out in the
contest, of the First Congressional
district which includes the coun
ties of Clay, Greene, Craighead,
Mississippi, Crittenden, Cross,
Poinsett, St. Francis, Lee, Phil
lips and Woodruff. The lady
winning the trip to Hot Springs
was Mrs. Ida Hale Jackson, of
Osceola, Mississippi county. Miss
Powell is one of our loveliest and
most popular young ladies and we
feel dispirited over the unwelcome
news of her defeat, however she
will be awarded a nice little gift
by the News as a compensation
for her time and trouble, in mak
ing the race. We have not been
informed, as yet, the number of
votes the Osceola lady received. A
list of all the competing candidates
their address, name of paper thru
which they were working and the
number of votes each received will
be published at a later date in this
paper, as soon as we can obtain
them.
NOTICE.
Through the the columns of the
News I desire to return my warm
est thanks to the citizens of Mc
Crory and surrounding territory
for all kindnesses and help extend
ed to me during the recent State
Fair Queen Contest which has just
closed. While I failed to win the
coveted trip, yet, I feel just as
grateful to you and appreciate the
favors shown me just as highly as
I could have, had I won the trip.
Words can not express my appreci
ation of those friends who have so
willingly helped with their sub
scriptions and voting coupons, and
hoping that someday you will be
repaid for your assistance, I again
extend thanks and best wishes.
Miss Ruth Powell.
OUR SCHOOLS.
While this paper has always
been a warm friend to our public
school it intends to take a deeper
interest in it during the ensu
ing year. We believe it is the
duty of every citizen to take a live
interest in our school. During
the years that are past class after
class of our young people have
stepped out of school life into
life’s school. Would that we
could, in this issue of our paper
place before its readers the famil
iar face of each and every one,
but such is among the impossibili
ties, for Grim Death, on his white
horse, has thinned the ranks and
as “Death loves a shining mark,”
many of the most promising fell
before reaching the noon-day of
life, but we can assist in keeping
green their memories. Our school
home! What words fall upon the
ear with so much music in their
cadence as those which recall the
scenes of school days now num
bered with the memories of the
past? Intervening years have not
dimmed the vivid colorings with
which memory has adorned those
joyous days. While we all gradu
ate in much the same manner how
different has the wheel of fortune
turned. Some with plaintive
tongues have had to walk in lowly
vales of life’s weary way, others
in loftier hymns, have sung of
nothing but joy, as they have trod
den the mountain top. but no mat
ter how near the summit or base
of the mountain you meet with a
graduate from our schools, you
meet with one who is a credit to
society. “As the twig is bent so
is the tree inclined,” and habits
were formed under the moulding
power of a moral atmosphere
which seemed to permeate the
school of our little city which
stays by one through life. Our
school life is indeed the golden
link that binds youth to age, and
he is still but a child, however
time may have furrowed his cheek
or silvered his brow who can yet
recall, with a softened heart, the
happy school days passed in this
city.

15 CENT COTTON.
In Little Rock last week the
Farmers’ Union in national con
vention assembled decided that
the minimum price for cotton this
year would be fixed at 15 cents.
That sounds big; and there are
those who believe the farmers can
not set a minimum price on cotton
and get it, or more. Of course
the mere fact of them saying that
minimum price is fixed at 15 cents
does not make it so; and the min
imum price of 15 cents will be real
ized only when they fully carry
out the warehouse plans. They
have got to do something aside
from “resoluting” and taking.
They must in a cencerated action
and all work a common means in a
common cause. When the mar
ket price for cotton is less than 15
cents, then cotton will have to be
kept off the market. The ware
house plans makes possible for
farmers to keep their cotton off
the market until such time as the
spinners will pay what the farmers
demand. If the warehouses are
not used when conditions demand
their use, then all the expenditure
for warehouse will be for naught.
The object of the farmers’ un
ion is to control prices; the ob
ject of all trusts is to control
prices. The farmers are forced in
to combination in self-defense. In
their unorganized condition they
are at the mercy of every combi
nation of capital. The reason a
trust can control the price of a
given product is because it is able
to keep off the market its product
until such time as consumers will
pay the price asked. It is because
they are in a position to hold their
product until such time as the
market will pay their minimum
price. By usiug the warehouse
as planned the farmers can keep

the cotton off the market until such
time as the consumers will pay the
minimum price fixed. The only
question in the matter is, will the
farmers stick together? If they
will stick and make use of the op
portunity involved in the ware
house idea, they will succeed in
getting the minimum price; other
wise they will fail. Whether a
farmer belongs to union or not he
should co-operate in the warehouse
plan for getting 15 cents for his
cotton. The union will help the
non-union farmer in this matter as
well as the union farmer; and the
only reasonable thing for the non
union farmer to do is to join the
union and stand shoulder-to-shoul
der with his brother farmer in a
common cause.—Warren Demo
