Honor Guest

Robert Elliot, field scout executive

of Blythcville, arrivejcl in Hope Mon-
day to take charge of Boy Scout ac-
tivities in .this area.
Mr. Elliott has hud considerable ex-

perience in scout work having served
as {Scoutmaster, assistant scoutmaster,
camp 'director, and has completed his
training at the scout trainin gccntcr
at Mcndham, N. J.
He-will specialize in a scoutmaster

In 1926 Mr. Beck was interesting

_<5jhimsclf in the constitutional question

whether the sovereign states of Ponn-
ylvanla and Illinois having duly elect-
ed William S. Vare and Frank L.
Smith to the United States Senate,
thd senate then had the right tojjo
jehnid the election returns and forbid-
helr being seated on the grounds that
they had made use of illicit campaign

tivities.
A scout troop at Prescott, sponsored

4>y the Prescott llotary club, is includ-
ed in the Hope district in %vhich Mr.

Mr. Beck ridiculed the idea that

morality could be preached down from
a political givernment, instead of up
to the government from the people.
He insisted that If the people of Penn-
sylvania and Illinois, .having thor-
oughly aired the charges, which the
senate was taking up anew, persist-
ed in sending the most defamed men
to represent them in Washington-
then there wns nothing Washington
could do about it without wrecking
the identity of the 48 states and im-
periling the whole structure of dem-
ocratic representative government.

And so Mr. Beck, in a somber frame

of mind, wrote his book, "the Vanish-
ing Rights of the States."

You recall, that the United States

Senate proceeded finally to do just
what Mr. Beck feared it would do: It
refused to scat Mr. Vare and Mr.
Smith, alleging that they were very
naughty men, and that in fact the
people 'of Pennsylvania and Illinois
were such entirely naughty people
they no 'lorigor deserved to hold the
right of self-government.

A preposterous premise!

really occurred, ten years ago—and

I reversed the editorial policy of the
El Dorado Daily News ten years ago
and, instead of denouncing Bill Vare,

Illinois, for the two worthy crooks
which they actually were—-instead of
denouncing individual politicians, I
began to write about the meaning of
such a precedent to the structure of

Thq governor also eliminated him-

self as a possible candidate for the
nomination for United States senator.

The governor's statement follows:
"I do not want to be governor again.

I do not want to bo United States sen-
ator. I dislike many phases of the so-
called . practical politics. There are
many things connected with, and inci-
dent to service in a political office

cramcnt.

Even the Rome empire, greatest of

all, lasted but 900 years.

But let me use the words of Mi".

Beck. 1 am quoting from "The Van-
ishing Rights of the States" (page 14,
Geo. H. Doran Co.. New York):

"To the thoughtful American,

the constitution is not unlike the
sandy beach on an ocean front.
The encroaching waves each day
ebb and flow. At high tide there
is less bench and at low tide more.
At times the beach will be de-
voured by
the ocean, when a

tempest has lushed it into a futy,
and then the waters will become
as placid as a mountain lake, and
the shore will seem to have tri-
umphed in this age-old struggle
between land and water.

"The owner of the upland is of-

ten deceived by the belief that the
fluctuations of the buttle general-
ly leave the shore line intact, but
when he considers the icsults of
yours, and not of months, he will
realize that the shore has generally
lost in the struggle, and that slow-
ly, but steadily, the ocean is eating
into the land."
What Mr. Beck had to say about the

Varc-Smith case in the senate stayed
with me when Hucy P. Long flared
across the front pages of the nation's
newspapers, and when it was propos-
ed to use federal authority against the
people of Louisiana because of the
man they had chosen to represent
them in Washington.

The people of Louisiana, like the

people of Illinois and Pennsylvania,
have the right to send any man they
choose to represent them in Washing-
ton—ami so, as I (lid a decade before,
I defended Huey P. Long in his role
as spokesman
for the
people of

Louisiana, however much I might dis-
agree with the dumagogie utterances
by which he maintained himself in
that. role.

II is up to the people of each com-

munity, each state and section to find
out the truth about their chosen re-
presentatives. By no other way will
they be convinced.
By no other

The press reports had not been of-

On Lake Tana

By the Associated Press

Marshal Badoglio, Italian command-

er in East Africa, telegraphed from
the northern front Monday that his
troops operating in the wectern sec-
tion of the northern front are push-
ing down along the shores of Lake
Tana, center of the British interests in
Ethoiopia.

From Addis Ababa came word that

once more the populace had fled from
the city at the approach of Italian air-
planes, but again' the Fascist planes
fiiiled to bomb Ethiopia's capital

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia.—(/P)—Re-

serve manpower totaling 300,000 war-
riors moved into defensive positions
across Northern Ethiopia under the
personal direction 'of Emperor Haile I
Selassie, the government announced,
today.
•
'

An'official-spokesman described the

propaganda Italian reports that the
emperor is fleeing in disguise or con-
sidering abdicating. A direct message
from "the- einpei'or' showed ;he -is safe,
the spokesman asserted, adding that
the morale of the nation still ih high.

Ethiopian armies were forced to re-

treat in the north, he continued, be-
cause of a complete lack of defense
ngainst aerial and "poison gas attacks"
and superior arms of the Fascists.

Ruins Become Heavier

But, contended the official, the Ital-

ians have no whandicnppcd themselves
l>y a hasty extension of their lines
with the rains daily becoming heavier.
Difficulties in keeping open commun-
ications south of Mukale and in the
Lake Tana region ore expected here
to supply the Ethiopians opportuni-
ties to exhaust the invaders by liar-j
assing their lines.

The emperor's action in calling out

reserve manpower indicated a change
in fighting tactics. Thus far he has
not permitted large concentrations, es-
pecially in the extreme north, where
the country is poorest.

Mr. Phipps declared that the pro-

posed constitutional amendment to
prohibit the legislature from levying
any new taxes or re-enacting any em-
ergency tax now in effect is "purely
an effort to kill the sales tax."

He said his address was not in any

way intended to be an answer to an
article in the press, in which Cover,
nor Futrell endorsed the amendment,
proposed by Representative Leo Ny-
berg of Phillips county, would prohibit
the legislature from enacting any new
tax without an approving vote by the
qualified electors of 1ho state. It's

Constitutional Authority

James M. Beck, noted Philadelphian

who died in Washington Sunday at
the age of 75, was regarded as one of
the greatest authorities on American
constitutional law.

In 1926.... he published "The Vanish-

ing Rights of the States", in connection
with the barring of Vare, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Smith of Illinois, from the
United States Senate. Although con-
cerned mainly with an election invts-
tigation, Mr. Beck's treatise clearly
outlined the constitutional issues that
were to occupy the country's attention
ten years later.

A Book a Day

By Bruce Catton

• One of the most interesting puzzles
ijf the American Revolution is the
ease of that eminent British soldier.
Sjr William Howe.

Howe came over in 1778 to crush

the- revolt, leading one of the largest
armies finta^n had ever sent overseas
and aided by ahuge fleet commanded
by hia brother, Lord Richard Howe,
fie failed miserably and went home in
1778, discredited.

What happened? Was he simply a

fearful incompetent?
Did he, as some

historians charge, actually refuse to
try to win, because of sympathy for
the Americans? Did he dull his wits
by drinking and carousing?

Troyer S Anderson examines the

evidence in "The Command of the
Howe Brothers" (Oxford Press: $3.50),
and concludes that none of these
charges will hold water.

Howe, he says, was a conscientious,

able general, by the standards of his
day. The only trouble was that he
had an almost impossible task to per-
porm. He nad to whip Washington's
army, occupy the rebellious districts,'
M:-establi£h the royal government, and

The day that Mary Luoise's aunt

Sthel brought her a pink dress Mary
xmise.was so; pleased she^ could hard-
y wait to tell Betty and Ruth and
Katharine about it. They hnd had
pink dresses, for a long time. She
had-nice? dresses, too, of. course, but
.they, were, blue and brown and red.
Not pink! Mary Louise tried to think
of Some nicer words than usual, to ex-
plain how pretty her new dress was,
but she couldn't find any.

"But you'll see it soon!"- she prom-
ised-hopefully.
' They, didn't, though. Mary Louise's
mother-hung the dress away carefully
and only let her • small daughter-'wear
it to sunday school on Sunday morn-
ing, and when important grown folks
came to. dinner.

"What would you like to wear to

school today?" she asked Mary Louise
one day.

"My pink dress," came the hopeful
answer.

"But that's a dress-up dress! What

about the blue plaid?"

An Opportunity Lost

, , Then, the schpol had.a, special pro-
gram. Surely how. she could wear
the pink frock! But, her mother de-
cided that white would be much nic-
er. Betty and Ruth, and Katharine
wouldn't have seen the dress at all, if
Ma^K Louise, hadn't brought them into ';
the house one night after school, tak- j
e nthem up to her bedroom, and spr
en them up to her bedroom, and
spread the pink-ruffled frock on the
bed.

Her mother, passing through the

hall, heard the chorus of: "Oh, it's
beautiful!" "It's prettier'n any pink
dress I ever saw!" "Try. it on, Mary
Louise!"

She went down to the living room

and did some pretty straight thinking.
After all, Mary Louise took no special
.pride in being dressed up for her
mother's friends. It was her own
group before whom she wanted to ap-
pear in her new dress. Surely tho-
child's attitude deserved to be taken
into consideration and she was enti-
tled to a little of the pleasure of her
own dress.

Vanity Guides Mothers

Children are not judges of the dur-

ability or suitability of clothing, that
we know. Mothers must be patient,
wise, and guiding. However, small
girls and boys should be permitted to
enjoy the clothes they wear. A pink
gingham is just as practical as a blue
gingham for school, if pink is the
child's favorite color, A red stock-
ing cap will do quite as well as a
blue onei if a small boy wants a merry
touch. Party clothes should be worn
sometimes in a child's own group^ not
always for the family company.

Too often mothers dress their chil-

dren in such a way that they will re-
flect pleasantly upon the mother in
the presence of her own guests. The
child, as a personality who may de-

insane man.

"No!" she cried. "No—!"

And then a figure hurled itself

betv/een her and the stranger. A
voice snapped, "Take your hands
off that girl!"

If was Marty Hiatt! Toby had

no time, to wonder where he had

however, was

suddenly docile.
He rubbed his

man searched his pockets.

"No gun."
the
officer
anr

nouneod. "Now then, what's It all
about?"

Toby felt a hand on her shoulr

der and turned.
Harriet was be-

side her. "Oh," Toby breathed.
"I'm glad you.'re here. Harriet."

"I've been here for five min-

utes," Harriet said, "but it tooR
me this long to get to you." Slie
slipped an arm around the othor
girl.
"What in the world hap-

pened, Toby?
Who is that ter-

rible person?"

"I don't know," Tears of re-

Met shone in Toby's eyes:
She

tried to wipe them away. "I don't
know anything about him, except
that he must be crazy—"

It was more than an hour af-

terward that the girls heard' the
full story. They had been allowed
to go home in a cab when Hiatt
and the stranger set off for the
police station with the officer.

Toby tried to tell Harriet what

prised.
"Does tnat name mean

anything to you?"

"Does i{.?" They told him about

happened.
"I looked for

she said, "and you weren't

you,
in sight. Then I stopped to look
at the store window-

"They had some new square-

toed pumps at Vandenmeyer's,"
Harriet explained. "I went In to
try them on, and then I came out
and ran into Marty.

"He ran ahead of me. It looked

as though the fellow was trying
to make you go somewhere — "

"I guess he was. He kept call-

ing me 'Dream Girl' and saying
he'd been trying to find me. That's
how I know he was crazy.
Hou-

estly, Harriet, I was scared stlfT!"

"T should think you would have

been. Are you sure it's the same
fellow you saw that other time,
the one who followed you?"

Toby nodded. "I'm sure of ft.

Oh, Harriet, if it hadn't beon for
Marty— f"

"Somebody, else
would have

come along," Harriet said confi-
dently. "I don't suppose the man
was really dangerous, but I can
certainly
understand
why you

were frightened,"
* • •

TJTIATT telephoned and presently
-*-•*• dropped in to bring: them a
report.
The stranger ' bad been

identified.
He was the same one

who, two years before), had fol-
lowed a motion picture actress
about, persisting that she was his
fiancee.
He had been arrested

and committed to an institution,
but had since been released.

"That was a little more serious

— that affair of the movie ac-
tress," Hiatt said, "He bad a gun
then. Wasn't a very good marks-
man, because all ha hit was the
shade of a floor tamp."

"Oh, Marty!"
"Now, there isn't anything for

you to worry about," Hiatt as-
sured Toby.
"They've got him

locked up safely »nd he's going
right back to the place wheCe
they sent him before.
Ha won't

find it so easy to
out again.

By the way, his name in Jonas
Huckleberry.
What do yon tbiiik

of that?"

"Jonas Huckleberry!"
B o t h

girls spoke la eliorus.

"Wfcy, 70*." Hiatt looked sur-

the
letter Toby
hnd received,

signed "Jonaa Huckleberry."

"Have you got It around still?"

Hiatt. asked.
"If you have, I'll

turn it over to the police."

But the letter written on pink

notepaper had disappeared. Toby
laughed about It, after Hiatt had
gona. "So my first proposal," sh»
said, "was from a crazy man."

"Don't worry. You'll get plenty

more."

The
excitement
over
Jonaa

Huckleberry continued for a day
or two. Newspapers printed re-
ports of the affair, with pictures
of. Toby.
She didn't know how

they got them. Bill Brandt tele-
phoned and chicled her about her
'nut" admirer. Jay Hlllyer showed
more concern. He seemed satis-
fied later that there was no rea-
son for further alarm.

A T the Modnl League office Toby

who.
had had somewhat similar

experiences.
The
League
did

everything possible to protect
models, under no circumstances
giving- out names or addresses,
checking telephone calls, occa-
sionally even taking legal, meas-
ures. Now and then, however, aa
In
Toby's case, this
vigilance

would be circumvented.

Presently everyone forgot about

Jonas Huckleberry. Harriet was
busier than ever with her shop-
ping, counting the
days until

Clyde would be back.
She and

Toby both were to take part in a
fanhion show—an important one,
for buyers.

Tho show was to be given at a

hotel and thore was a rehearsal
in the morning. As usual, the
climax of the affair was to be a
wedding scene.
H a r r i e t was

chosen for tho bride,

Toby had to leave the rehearsal

for
another
appointment,
and

stopped at the apartment on the
way back.
There was a letter

for Harriet and she dropped it
into her purse.

She did not think of the letter

agaiu until near the close of the
show.
A maid was helping Har-

riet into the ivory satin wedding,
gown, Toby, waiting in her brides-
maid eostume, turned suddenly.

"Harriet," she said, "you're

Hie loveliest bride I've ever seen."

Harriet smiled. "It's a beauti-

ful dress, isn't it?"

"It is, and the way you look,

wearing It, you'd certainly tempt
any man into matrimony."

"But I don't want any man. I

want a certain one—"

That was whno Toby remem-

bered
tbe
letter.
Because, of

course, it waa from Clyde.
She

had recognized his handwriting.
Toby, said, "Heavens, darling, 1
brought you a letter an4 forgot
all about it!"

She went to her bapd bag,

rummaging through it and came
back.
"Here it is," she said.

"I'm terribly sorry 1 didn't think
of1 it sooner."

"That's
all
right,"

smiled as she tore open the en-

German-Japanese

Alliance Is Seen

Hitler Cedes Pacific Is-

lands to Japs, Says

Paris Report

PARIS, France—(Havas).—Germany

has agreed, to relinquish to Japan all
future claims of soverginity over the
islands in the Pacific formerly owned
by the Reich, Genovieve Tabouis re-
ported in the Radical-Socialist news-
paper L'Oeuyro Sunday.

In accordance with the Versailles

treaty, all Germany's Pacific islands
north of the Equator were turned over
to Japan after the World war under
a League of Nations mandate which
stipulated that thq lands must not
be fortified. Their status is now in
doubt as a result of Japan's with-
drawal from the League.

Sunday's report by Mmo. Tabouis

lent weight to the widcl-held belief
that Berlin nnd Tokio are on the verge
of entering into a close diplomatic re-
lationship and, in fact, have completed
a partial agreement. The commenta-
tor said that a clause alluding to the
Reich's attitude toward its former pos-
sessions in the Pacific was contained
in a preliminary agreement between
Germany and Poland last January 3.

Mme. Tabouis declared that despite

her insistence that her government en-
tertained no thought of secret alliances
with any power, Chancellor Hitler ap-
parently
had
an
understanding of

some ?orl with Poland, .since in his
pronouncements regarding Germany's
various claims he had made no refer-
ence to the Polish Corridor.

Prospect of a German-Japanese mil-

itary or political alliance added » now
element of clanger to the present im-
passe at Geneva, where Great Britain
and France are by no means in agree-
ment over Gremany's Locarno viola-
tion and Italy's war in Ethiopia.

six months' term for every child."
Mr. Phipps suggested that if a school
district sinking fund were set
up

similar to the general revenue .sinking
fund, hundreds of districts could pay
their
outstanding warrants
in an

orderly manner and at the same time
operate on a cash basis.
He pointed

out that the 1931 .school code provides
that if a district ever gets out of debt
for current operations, it cannot again
incur a debt for current expenses.

Discussing the need for school funds,

Mr. Phipps said:

"Assessed valuation of property in

the stale has decreased from ?624,000,-
000 to $417,000,000 in the last five years,
and I doubt that any of us will live

I to see it go back to the former mark,
where it stood just a few years ago.
Attendance is increasing all the time.
Take the sales tax revenue away and
the schools will have as great an em-
ergency as they had Ipst year, unless
the ?2,000,000 tints taken annually from
the schools is supplied from some oth-
er source.

"It seems to me that it is a matter

of re-enacting and paying the .sales
tax or doing without school and letting
the needy go hungry.

Minimum Limits

Set on_Soil Plan

County Agent Mountcastle

Explains 1936 Federal

Cotton Law

Minimum requirements
governing

the amount of land planted to soil-
conserving
and
soil.-building crops

have been set up in order to insure
the carrying out of a real soil-con-
servation program on all farms re*-
ceiving grants under the new farm
program. These requirements are ex-
plained by W. E. Mountcastle, county
agent.

In
qualifying
for
soil-conserving

grants, the producer must have as
many acres on his farm planted to
soil-conserving or soil-building crops
as.he. is- diverting from soil-depleting
crops, or there must be an acreage
planted to soil-conserving or building
crops amounting t ao teltsbba
crops amounting to at least 20 per
cent of the hace acreage of soil-deplet-
ing crops, whichever of these two re-
quirements is the larger. In other
words, if he diverts 35 of his cotton
acres, there must be at least 35 acres
on his farm planted to soil-conserving
or building crops. If, however, with
these 3 Sacres on his farm, he still does
not have at least 20 per cent of his
soil-depleting base in soil-conserving
and soil-building crops, he must be
able to account for enough additional
acreage to meet the 20, per cent re-
quirement,

Mr. Mountcastle explains that the

actual diverted acres
need
not be

planted 1o soil-ciyiserving or soil-
building crops if thieir equivalent on
the farm is so planted.

Either or both of these requirements

may be set aside if the farmer diverts
the maximum acreage on which he
can receive payment, and still is not
able to meet the requirements.

In other words, a farmer who al-

ready has at least 20 per cent as much
land in crops classed as soil conserving
or soil building as wns planted to soil-
depleting crops in 1935 may qualify
for soil-building payments without di-
verting any of his acreages by carry-
ing out certain soil-building practices
or planting soil-building crops on the
land. He may, if he wishes, also di-
vert some of his soil depleting acreage
to soil conserving or soil building
crops, and receive
soil
conserving

grants accordingly, if his acreage of
soil building or conserving crops is
still equal to the acreage diverted.

The two types of payments under

the new soil conservation program,
.soil conserving and soil building, have
distinctly different
divisions in the

sharing of payments between land-
owner and tenants.

The soil conserving payment, which

is for the diversion of soil-depleting
crops to soil-conserving crops, is di-
vided 25 per cent to the share cropper
and 75 per cent to the landowner. In
other words, 37' .•• per cent will go to
the landowner or the producer who
furnishes the land; 12Vj per cent to the
producer who furnishes the work stock
and equipment; and 50 per cent will
be divided between the parties to the
lease or operating agreement in pro-
portion that such producers are en-
titled to share in 1936 in these soil-
depleting crops, or the proceeds there-
of, with respect to which the soil-
conserving payment is made.

The toil-building payment will be

divided equally if both parties incur
expense of this practice. Where one
person buys the seed for planting the
acreage to be devoted to soil building
and pays for all entailed work, then
he will get the entire soil-building
payment.

Any share of the soil-building or

soil-conserving
payments
shall
be

computed without regard to questions
of title under state law, without de-
ductions of claims for advances, and
without regard to any claim or lien
against the crop or proceeds thereof
in favor of tho owner or any other
creditor, Mr. Mountcastle explained.

the senate. If the

Southern senators, to gain a,temp-
orary party advantage, create a
precedent, as at the moment seems
likely, they will have sold their
birthright for 'a message of pot-

But the Southern delegation in the

senate went the road of arbitrary pow-
er, and not constitutional law, that
day in 1926.

And perhaps then it was that we

laid an important stone in. the road to
dreaded federalizalion, the doomsday
of state and local government.

Among the proposed candidates who

have been considered in administra-

Lee Cazort, Senator John C. Ashley,
and Associate Justice E. L. McHaney

Among the most prominently men-

Others who have been mentioned as

possibilities, but whose activities have
not been such as to indicate whether
they would be considered pro or anti-
administration include: Judge Dexter

FOR RENT

200,000" new homes during the year.

Many factors contribute to this sud-

den rush of Americans for homes of
their own—some social, some financial.

Federal experts point to the short-

age of homes, 'estimated from; 750,000
to 1,500,000, created by the depressi.on
years when new construction slumped.
They ' also point out that there is a
large "marriage reserve" among per-
sons unable to marry during the do.
pression; to widespread doubling-up
of families which now arc seeking
homes of their own; to accumulated
obsolescence of old homes: to the nor-
mal desire of householders to escape
run-dwri neighborhoods, and to the
return of net population movement
from.farms to cities.
' / _ • ' .

New schemes to finance home build-

ing, inaugurated by the federal hous-
ing administration, have opened ave-
nues to a new set of >vould-be home-
owners.
Prior to the government's

entry into the field it was customary
to write rip mortgages for longer than [
12 years.

Many of the homes were secured by

first and second mortgages, necessi-
tating periodic renewals with extra
charges. Furthermore, most, financial
institutions^ limited their lending on
homes to 50 to 66 per cent oif the val-
ue of the property.

Federal housing put into effect last

year a plan for mortgaging that per-
mitted payments over 20 years. The
plan was a single mortgage arrange-
ment which also permitted lending a
higher per cent of the value of the
home.

Federal housing records for last year

forecast the types of homes and loans
that the majority of Americans will
be seeking. The average value of the
new one-family homes secured by fed-
eral housing last
year .was $6,000.

Terms for payment averaged between
17 and 20 years, and 70.8 per cent of
those mortgages were written for 76 to
80 per cent of the value of the homes.

The federal new home housing pro-

gram started in January, 1935, and
12,360 loans totaling $60,248,256 were
made that year. These figures are ex-
pected to double during 1936.

In addition 708,405 loans totaling

?246,070,729 were made for the mod.
ernization of old homes.

Mortgages accepted by the FHA in

the first three months of 1936 for home
building and modernization totaled
563,043,685, compared with 57,070,013 in
the same period last year.

Many other institutions are engaged

in combatting the housing shortage.
The federal home loan bank board is
releasing money to building and loan
associations.

PWA expects
to construct 25,000

dwelling units this year at an approx-
imate cost of 1130,000,000. These units
will be, for the moet part, in large
apartment communities, and will be
rented to those who move in.

Resettlement plans under way will

provide 29,315 newh omes this year.
They will average in cost from $1,407
for a three-room house to $2,500 for a
six-room house.

Increased building also is anticipated

by people who have the cash. Fi-
nancing also is available- from pri-
vate banks which will lend without
government security, and from pri-
vate individuals who engage in loan-
ing money for home-building.
