WONDERFUL changes have oc- cured in Arkansas in recent years, but the transformation cannot be seen by travellers who dash across the state in 8 Pull man car. In fact, most travellers who form an estimate of the pro- gress and development of this section by means of views ob- tained through car windows get impressions that are mostly un- favorable, for as rule railroads traverse the most viting sec- tions of the country.

Z. R. Bell of East Prairie re- ports the result of the strawberry season on his farm. From two and one-half acres of Mitchell's Early he picked 253 crates and from one-half acre of Aromas 52 crates, or 305 crates, amount ing to ' 1920 quarts. The prices received were fairly satisfactory, although this years returns per crate were not equal to a year ago. However, at only dollar crate net this is a yield of over Sl0O an acre, a result that can not be reached outside of fruit. Siloam Springs Republican.

THE center of population of the United States is gradually and rapidly moving westward. A few years ago it was in Ohio; now it is near the cen ter of Indiana and will soon be over in Illinois, but 1t will be many years before it crosses the Mississippi. The census bureau has found that the exact center of population at the census of 1900 was in latitude 39 degrees 9 minutes and 36 seconds north longitude 85 degrees AS and 54 seconds west.

THE crops have been good for several years and there have been no demoralizing prices for agri- cultural productions. The re- verse has been the case. Im- mediately after and during the war in the sixties, when gold was at premimum, and the purchas- ing power of a paper dollar was much below what it is now, bread -stuffs brought a higher price than they have since, but when the relative value of dol- lar then and now is taken into consideration there is not much djfferencein the price of food be- tween now and then. When farmers are getting good prices for their productions it is pretty good evidence that the business of the country is not in bad shape.

There was failure some years ago and the government chopped off the head of the prssi- dent, vice. president, cashier, as- sistant cashier, the stenographer, and the office boy, and piled them up in the back room along with lot of other worthless se- eurities. Since that time bank failures have been unfasionable in China.

A SHORT time since physicians

A SHORT time since physicians held the eating of food immedi- ately before retiring almost a crime. The old theory is quite exploded. One medical journal, in commenting on the subject re- gently, said that while it is not good, as a matter of fact, to go to bed with the stomach so loaded that the undigested food will render one restless, still, some- thing of a light. palatable nature in the stomach is one of the best aids to quietude and rest. The process of digestion goes on in sleep with as much regularity as when one is taking violent exer- else to aid it, and so something in the stomach is very desirable for the night rest. Some physi- clans have declared, indeed, that q good deal of the prevalent inso- monia is the result of an uncon- scious craving of the stomach for food. Nothing is more agreeable on retiring for the night than to take 8 bowl of hot broth, like oatmeal g'ruel, or some good,. nourisifing soup, or a glass of hot milk is 8 positive aid to nerv- ous people, and induces peaceful slumbers. This is especially the case during, the cold winter nights.
