DELICATE TIrIEPIECE

Each year the chronometers or the United States navy are sub iected to a test to determine their accuracy and to correct any irreg. ularities. This operation com mences in January and usually lasts until the middle of June, and during that time these delicate timepieces are kept on ice at the United States naval observatory. It is not for any fear that they will spoil that they are subjected to this frigid experience, but it is nee essary for the purpose of accurate adjustment that they should all be maintained in a constant temper ature.
 The necessity of having a ships clocks all absolutely alike will be realized by the layman when he is reminded that an error of four sec onds in the chronometer means an error of a mile in calculating the vessels location. The tempera- ture varies at different times of the test from 30 to 90 degrees and the losing or gaining qualities of the chronometer under these con ditions are accurately kept. Thus with chart expressing in curves just what he may expect from his chronometer under different con. ditions of climate, and, with his thermometer and barometer close at hand, a sailing master may cal. culate to a nicety the correct time and get his location to certainty.

NEW BULLETINS UNSATISFACTORY
Discontinuance of Weekly Crop Bulletins Has Caused DisSat-
 isfaction Among Farmers

The Gazette says the farmers, cotton men and others who are in. terested in the crop conditions of Arkansas are registering com plaints against the new bulletins being issued weekly by the gov ernment weather bureau Ut Little Rock. They claim the new bulle- tin is not as satisfactory as the one issued during the past several years. The former bulletin told of the condition of crops throughout the state during the week, but the new bulletin contains no informa- tion other than the weekly report of the weather conditions in the various counties of the state.
 It is claimed that the present bulletin Is not q success, in that it does not supply the information sought by the farmers and men who deal in cotton and other crops. It furnishes no data other than the weather conditions for the week, while the former bulle- tin gave statistics on the condition of cotton and other crops in all sections of the state each week.
 Those in close touch with the farmers of the state, claim the present bulletin is causing great deal of complaint among farmers.

WHOSE FAULT Is IT?

Again we ask, why is 1t that so few of our local county papers have no school items in their col umns! Is it because there is noth- ing to tell about the workings of our schools in the various counties throughout the state! Is 1t because the editors of these papers will not give space to mention school af- fairs, deeming such news as unin- teresting? Is it because the local teachers will not furnish the pub lithers with items about their schools and the educational status of the community? There must be some reason, for we search many of our local exchanges week after week, looking for some school news. but never find a word. We are inclined to the opinion that the fault IS With the teachers in not furnishing school items for their local papers, for we believe there is not a publisher in the state that will not gladly give space for news about the schools of his town and county. We think 1t is pretty sure sign of educational activity in any county to frequently see mention of school affairs in the county pa per. When this is done, you may rest assured that there are some active teachers at work there.- Arkansas School Journal.

TRUTH ABOUT A WEDDING

The editor of a paper out in Kansas got married the other day and as he had to write up the we'd ding himself, here is what he had to say about it.
 This is the first instance in several years of newspaper work that the writer has dared to tell the truth about wedding for fear of getting licked, and does so now with a keen relish. The bride groom is an editor and is not a popular and accomplished leader of society, in fact he doesn't know as much about 1t as rabbit. His hair is red, and the freckles on his face crowd each other for room.s In the dusk it is hard to distinguish him from a telephone

WALL OF 4 PESSIMISTIC EDITOR
@ome Dark Lantern Views of the Farmer Brought to Light by
 a Pine Bluff Editor

The editor of the Pine Bluff Graphic doubtless grows pessi mlst'c at times and when in one of these moods he penned the follow ing.
 The average Arkansas citizen lmagines that he lives at home but he doesn't. He gets up in the morning and puts on a sock made Tn New York, shoes made in Bos. ton, pants made in Ohio, then slips pair of Connecticut suspen- ders over his shoulders. He dips some water from d Missouri buck ct with Chicago dipper and puts It in an Illinois washpan and washes his Arkansas face with a cake of St. Louis soap. He dries his face with Rhode Island towel and reaches his hair with Yer mont como. He drinks Cuban coffee from an Indiana cup and saucer, sweetened with sugar from Louisiana and stirred by New York spoon. His knife, fork, and plate were made in the north, and his table cloth dllto. He eats a piece of Chicago ham fried in Kansas lard, sops his St. Louis biscuit, seasoned with Boston soda and Michigan salt, into Louisiana molasses. He wipes his mouth on a Vermont napkin and seats his family in Michigan chairs around a table from the same state. His meal was cooked on a St. Louis stove with wood cut with a Pitts burg ax, and hauled in an Indiana wagon. The citizen then puts Boston bridle and harness on Missouri mule, gets out his blow and works in field encountered. in all probability, with a New York mortgage. He returns at night, and satisfies his appetite with another imported meal, fills his Indiana lamp with Pennsylvan- la oil, and lights it with d New York match. He then fills his Illinois pipe with North Carolina tobacco and settles down in a northern chair for comfortable smoke. When bedtime comes he takes down his family Bible, which was printed m Massachu setts, reads chapter, says a prayer composed in Jerusalem,

pole. He has never considered that the future looked very bright and promising--it has always kept him too busy paying his board bills to have any dreams about future greatness. He is just a common sort of fellow, and claims dis tinction only that he is a Kansan from the soul of his clumsy feet to the top of his head. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mir. and Mrs. N. J. White and was born and raised in Soloman Val. ley. Judging from the job the young lady has taken on her hands, she has more than ordinary nerve.

ARKANSAS AS SEEN BY OTHERS
Comment of St. Louis Paper On the New Era of Industrial
 Development in Arkansas

The census bulletin showing that the capital invested in manu- factures in Arkansas during the past five years increased by more than S2 per cent is only starter for what the next five years will show.
 The percentage of gain in Ar kansas manufactures Is greater than that of Missouri for the same time, but of course it is estimated on very much smaller basis. The manufacturing industries of St. Louis and other Missouri cit ies have been so long established that they have a long lead over those of our neighbor on the South.
 But the enormous increase in the activities of Arkansas in the manufacture of furniture, vehicles and other timber products as we'll as in cotton seed products and in grain milling indicate clearly enough that Arkansas IS entering upon new era of industial devel- opment.
 In the next five years cotton mills are likely to enter largely in to the list of Arkansas industries. The miners pick is opening it's bed of zinc and other ores, while it's coal mines are producing abun- dant fuel for minor industries of several kinds.
 Arkansas industries will take strong impetus from the new plans for industrial education to which the state is committed. With the textile school favored by Congressman Little, the Demo- cratic nominee for governor, and with strengthning of the techni- cal branches in the Agricultural and Industrial University at Fay etteville, the trained youth of the State will find scores of channels through which to contribute to the industrial wealth of Arkansas. St. Louis Republic.

then retires to bed slips under his imported covers and is kept awake for two long hours by the howls of his Arkansas dogs, which are the only home products he has on his farm
 This may be true pen picture of conditions around Pine Bluff but in this neck Q the woods things are different. Of course there are great many of the nec- essaries of life that must be brought from other states, but in great many instances the raw materials from which these articles are manufactured are Arkansas products.
 In this part of the country the better class of farmers sop their corn bread (which, by the way, when we'll made, is the best that ever tickled the palate of man, in his Arkansas ham gravey, eats it with his Arkansas eggs, pota- toes and other home grown vege- tables, and tapers of with Arkan-  sas preserves made of Arkansas fruit by an Arkansas lady-a feast fit for a king-then gets up and plants kiss on the ruby lips of his Arkansas wife. the ecstacies of which sends the blood surgine through his veins like water down an Arkansas hillside gulley, and he goes forth to work happy and contented.
 In it's pessimistic vail the Graphic ignores the fact that the maj ajoriUy of the manufactured ar ticles 1t mentions as being products of other states, were perhaps made from the raw materials produced in Arkansas for there is not a state in the Union that can excell Ar kansas in the quality and variety of its raw materials. That these raw materials are not manufactur ed into the various articles of commerce within the state, instead of being shipped out for this pur. pose, is not the fault of the farm. CT or laborer, but more often the fault of short sighted, pessimistic and indolent scribblers like the editor of the Graphic, who. armed with a dark lantern and a chronic case of the gout delight in explor ing the dark side of life and then publish to the world their distor- ted impressions about the unhap- py conditions in Arkansas and thus scare off the man with money

DENIES THAT HE Is CANDIDATE
Letter From Joseph Chameriain Re-
pudiates the Notion That He Wants
to Lead the UniOnfst Party.

London, February Tn a letter to
Lord Ridley, Conservative and form
erly Home secretary. published today,
Joseph Chamberlain repudiates the no
ton that he is a candidate fJr the lead
ership of the Unionist party. He says:
"All that there is in the question is
which policy the Unionist party pro-
poses to adopt for the future. It is
absolutely untrue that any ultimatum
has been presented to Mr.. Balfour on
this subject, either by me or by
any one else. / have asked for a meet
ing Of the party in order that there
may be a frank and friendly discussion
of the question, because to me 1t al
ways seemed essential to successful
leadership that the leader should be
thoroughly and personally acquainted
from time to time with the views and
wishes of his followers"
Mr. Chamberlain says:
My own belief Is that the great
majority Of the party. il not all. are
perfectly ready to accept Mr.. Bal
four's general leadership. I think 1t
probable. however, that the majority
would welcome a declaration by Mr..
Balfour which would show clearly that
tariff reform will not be dropped and
which would indicate definite and un-
mistakable programme for the future
to which he could give hearty support
Concluding his letter Mr.. Chamber
lain says:
1.-The tariff refOrmers cannot accept
a policy of inaction and mysthcatlon
in regard to the main subject of their
political lives"

Company operating lines east of Bos-
ton and also The Metropolitan Stem
ship Company, operating a line be-
tween Boston and New York.
Boston, Mass, February Tt was
learned from those connected with
Boston interests represented on the
board of directors of the new Clyde
line that the company was incorpor-
ated for the purpose of taking over
the property of the old Cylde Line,
when pending negotiations are COM
pleted.
New York, February 7.-Charles
W. Morse, declined to comment on the
incorporation of the Clyde Steamship
Company of Augusta, Maine. No de-
finite information as to the reported
purchase of tho present Clyde Line by
Mr.. Morse was obtainable today but
it is generally believed in financial cir
cles that such purchase is in pro-
gress of negotiation.
