 & If any part of the district fund is to be spent in the purchase of maps, charts, globes, etc, the es- innate should so state, and the di rectors are limited to the amount therein mentioned"

ssSURE THINGS"
Why the Sporting Mans Suggestions
 Were Not Acted Upon.

q have three good things in the first race,' remarked a sporting man who met party of friends this morn ing.
 Don't tell me about good things y one of the party told him. "A man of your luck should not be getting his friends in trouble"
 "What's the matter with him?" in- ouirmed another friend.
 Hast year he went to the races with sure thing and it was almost neces- sarv for him to walk home. He not only lost his money, but he was Jo- nah in every respect. The car on which he started home broke down and then he got in an electric vehicle with a friend When the electric ve- hicle became disabled he got in a wagon and the horse ran away. The wagon was demolished and he finally got home on street car.

THE "MONKEY DRILL"
Said to Be Cause of Desertions from
 Cavalry Regiments.

A cavalryman who had enlisted in the Eleventh at Fort Myer was talk Ing to Post reporter the other day, when the subject of desertion came up, and the. conversation drifted to the why and wherefore of the frequen- cy of such things over at the fort. "The reason," he said, "why so many deserted from the Eleventh is the fact that they dread and detest the monkey drill. The monkey drill is the term we use to designate that portion of the exercises in which we endeavor to perfect ourselves in the art of rid ing bareback, standing in an upright position on the back of a galloping horse, swinging into the saddle as tho animal dashes at breakneck speed and in performing other daring and diff ticult feats of horsemanship.
 ''This is just about the hardest work that one ever attempted, and when 1t Is over the men are complete ly exhausted. Only the strongest and hardest men are able to stand it and l: IS only about one in every 20 that really enjoys the work Most young fellows imagine that they would like to belong to the cavalry and become daring equestrians, as a result of hav- ing witnessed some of our riding, either in Buffalo Bills show or at Madison Square Garden. They en- list, never dreaming that the daily practice is as hard as it is, and then their troubles begin.
 ''The result is that in a short while they are completely worn out and ut terly disgusted. Then they desert Over two-thirds of the assertions from the Eleventh were due to the monkey drill. This is not. of course, the fault of the officers. The regulations are very strict, and only the healthiest and hardest men are enlisted, and :, what is more, they are given to un- derstand before they enter the ranks what they have tc expect, so that it is their own fault if they don't like Washington Post.

Crop Conditions

The second weekly report of the Arkansas weather bureau on crop conditions in this state, for the week ending April Is, shows that in near ly all sections cool, wet weather has greatly retarded farming operations. Corn planting is still progressing, though slowly, on account of the un- favorable conditions of the weather and soil; some of the early planted has come up. Very little cotton has been planted, farmers generally are waiting for more favorable weather conditions. Preparations for plant ing, however, are progressing. Wheat generally looks well, in some few localities it is not doing well, and Is being plowed up, and the land prepared for corn. Oats are coming up to fair to good stands. Irish po- tatoes are being planted. the early planted are beginning to sprout, but on account of the cool, wet weather are not coming up very rapidly, Fruit has not been damaged to any extent, and all reports indicate very favorable prospects for fruit of all kinds
