Published J, P. O’Furey of the Ce-
dar County News, and a member of
the school board at Hsrtington, Neb.,
puts the above question in clinching
his argument for greater vision in the
handling ef our educational system.
He contends that we complain of high
taxes but go merrily about the job
of building up propaganda which
leaves the child with the impression
that “school” is a monster destroying
its liberties.
Current cartoons on the opening of
school, which almost in every instance
put the wrong emphasis on what
school really means to the child, bro’t
forth this most interesting comment
from Mr. O’Furey:
“While we are complaining of high
taxes I wonder how mttch useless ex-
pense is caused by impressing upon
the minds of the children that school
is destroying their liberties T
“And what does the mental opposi-
tion cost the country?.
“And how much worry dees it cause
school authorities, while kiddies are
yeong, and to civic authorities as
they grow older?”
Isn’t it about time we all start
“selling” the school idea to children?

Ate# from ths Pomssswtlc race for'
the 1M8 presidential nomination has
stirred np action amongst the pro-
gressive drys of that party.
Edwin T. Meredith, Des Moines,
owa publisher, and ., former Secre-
tary of Agriculture iti the Wilson ad-
ministration, has sounded the call to
arms.
In some quarters Meredith’s call
has been interpreted as an announce-
ment that he is in the field for the
nomination against Governor Smith.
That he is ready to asaume the anti-
Smith leadership laid down by Mc-
Adoo.
But Mr. Meredith will not admit
that he is a candidate but that he
does insist that it is important that
a conference of the progressive drys
be held at once. It developed that a
formal call for such a conference may
be issued at once, the meeting to be
held in Chicago and an effort made
to array a battle front which will
keep the nomination from going to
Governor Smith "by default” as put
by Mr. Meredith.
It is said a formal call for the con-
ference may be issued by George Mil-
ton, Chattanooga, Tenn., publisher
who for eight years has promoted the
McAdoo campaigns. It is understood
AM Jfr. Meredith all-atang has been

only one of the angles of the work
that is being carried on to prepare the
coming generation to become more ef-
ficient farmers, stockmen and house-
wives.
"The . directors of the State Fair are

contest now announced. The contest
Will be more than state-wide for both
Oklahoma and Louisiana boys and
girls live stock judging teams have
been ‘
asked to compete for the cham-
pionship of the South, and both states
nave accepted.
Many patrons can remember when
the only exhibits interesting to the
housewives were those in the domes-
tic arts and textile departments.
Hardly anything was shown in the
way of labor or time saving machin-
ery for the household, beyond sewing
machines and some crude, ^ack-break-
ing washing machine, hand operated.
This year, in the Exposition Hall,
however, there will be shown literally
hundreds of new household appliances
each designed to lighten the burden
of housekeeping, to save time, money
and energy, just as the farm machin-
ery saves the time, money and energy
at the men.
A trip through Exposition Hall, with
ita many free shows and entertain-
ments, its free samples and souven-
irs and its great display of modern
household appliances is well worth
any woman’s time, even if she does
not get into another building on the
grounds.

issues la 1928 will be farm relief and
prohibition, with a plank calling for
tbs strict enforcement of the Vol-
stead act in the Democratic national
platform.
“What do you consider should be
the principal issue in the 1928 cam-
paign?” Mr. Meredith was asked.
“Agriculture,” he replied. “There
mgst be a solution of the farm prob-
lem. It is the most important prob-
lem in the country. It is not, of
course, a partisan question, but, as
the present Republican Administra-
tion seems unlikely to furnish a sat-
isfactory solution, I believe the Dem-
ocrats should try to do so.”
Mr, Meredith said that the question
of Governor Smith’s religion did not
enter into the opposition to his nom-
ination in Iowa and adjoining States.
“Governor Smith is opposed not be-
cause he is a Catholic but because he
is wet," he said. “Senator Walsh is
a Catholic and dry. His nomination
would be entirely satisfactory to the
majority of the dry pregressive wing
of the Democratic party.”

t | THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA arc doing a wonderful work of character
I building. In a way, wc have helped to foster this movement . . . relief from the
old-fashion chores of wood-chopping and coal-carrying leaves more time for
Scouting activities you know. St The watchword of the vigorous, stalwart, young
Americans who wear the Boy Scout badge of honor is---"Be Prepared.” All
summer long, wc have been putting into practice this watch-word. Sources of gas
supply have been increased—pipe-lines have been checked over and extended---com-
pressor-stations have been overhauled and put in ship-shape---meters have been
rebuilt and tested for accuracy. St All this "preparedness”---that you have dependable
gas service through the bleak winter months just ahead, gt But this activity
on our part will avail you little unless you too, practice the Boy Scout motto.
Now is the time for you to prepare for v/intcr gas service. Have your
meter reinstalled or reconnected if you have discontinued your gas
service through the summer. St There will be a long, impatient
line at your gas company’s office the day the first "blue
i^^norther” sweeps down on us. 0 Be prepared by looking
into this now and giving them plenty of time to properly
install your meter. Thus you will have this convenient
gas for heating or cooking at your instant, disposal
Never will you appreciate more this care-
free fuel than during the cold, rainy days ahead.
