Special to Independent.

record is being made at the State

were 2,050 inmates of the institution
at that time, and there have been
more than 800 admissions since then.
There are now 1970 inmates, show
ing a net reduction due to the large
number of patients that are being
discharged as cured.

BRYAN’S HAIR CUT IN ’«•
Williams J. Bryan has at laat
explained the fringe of graying hair
that has formed a halo-like circle
around his head for nearly two-score
years. The other day Mr. Bryan
told the secret of his flowing locks
' and admitted that his hair was
cropped for the last time in 1882.
At that time, Bryan explained he
was engaged to the woman who is
now his wife. His hair-cut nearly
cancelled the engagement, all be
cause his ears are built on a generous
pattern and for efficiency rafeher
than beauty. *
Since that time Mrs. Bryan haff in
sisted that the offending ears be
safely tucked away behind flowing
locks.
“Merely a case of justifiable cam*
ouflage,” Mr. Bryan explained.

p. m. Mrs. Brown has a message for,

TEACHERS’ ATTENTION.
Do you know that on April the 4th
in our capitol city that the Most In
spiring and Beneficial State Teach
ers’ Association will convene ?
Preparations are being made to
attain that end, and our Very Best
orators and educators will address
us on subjects most needed at this
time.
Who will doubt that Williams
Jennings Bryan will give us some
thing worth while?
And we should all be enthusiastic
and patriotic enough to want to
hear the message that Marshall, our
vice-president, will give us.
Besides these two speakers there
will be many others, of great note.
Let Jackson county teachers turn
out and make this a record breaking
year for our county.
Are you going to lend your assist
ance by attending?
Yes, surely you understand that of
all years this is the most critical
year of your profession. Never be
fore have you needed to attend asso
ciations so much for never was there
so great a responsibility upon your
shoulders. Do you know, teacher,
that you mean a great deal to your
country in this war?
Go to the Teachers’ Association in
Little Rock on April the 4th and i
learn how to do more effective work
for your country in this hour of war.
To advertise it in the Independent
is to sell it—if it is something for
which live people find a need.
