There are two accounts Of the origin
Of the expression Mind your P's and
Q's." According to one, it arose from
the early method used in public houses
Of charging customers for the amount
Of beer they had consumed on credit.
P stood for pint @ for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, It was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and as.
According to the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemorial in distinguish
ing between the lower case Ps and Q's
Of the Roman type The similarity
between the two letters is so great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process Of distributing, that
The printers apprentice Is always
warned by the foreman to mind his

Tribune Editor Strapped" in-
 to Harrison City Sunday
INSPECTS FEDERAL BUILDING
And Makes a Few Off-Hand
 Notes and Comments

A brief stay in Harrison be- tween trains Sunday gave our editor his first opportunity for in- spection of the new government building at that point, which we have to pronounce a beauty in the strictest sense of the word.
 One might we'll imagine him. self in great big city, while en- gagged in looking through this splendid and we'll appointed ed- ifice. It furnishes home for the United States Land Office, the United States court and the postoffice. Also quarters for the Internal Revenue Collector. It is said that Judge Worthing- ton of the land office and Post master Ben Andrews each grew an inch taller when they were turn ed loose in their splendid new quarters.
 Harrison has expanded consid- erably in a business way in the past three years, a humber of fine business houses having been erected there during this time. Gordon's new bank building is one of the most recently com- pleted and it is an exceptionally fine structure, bordering closely on being as fine as the new home of the Bank of Green Forest.
 The need of a new county court house in the seat of Boone is strongly emphasized by the new Federal building. The lat ter so far overshadows the pres- ent county court house that it bee ones almost an eye-sore to the town. Nothing speaks better for the thrift and enterprise of a community than the character of it's public buildings. Just now Harrison's appearance is little lop- sided in this respect.
 The recent session of Boone S quorum court touched the mat ter of Improvements very light. It appropriated S200 to be used in repairing the court house and $50 to procure plans and specifi- cations for a new jail.

CANDIDATES HERE
Kirby and MCFarIane Present Their Claims for Governor
D0NAGHEY SCORED BY KIRBY
Accuses Him Buying Out the
 farmers Union Secretary

Two candidates for the Dem- ocratic nomination for governor, Attorney General W. F. Kirby and R. w. McFarlane, spoke to small crowd in the town park on Friday afternoon of last week.
 Both gentlemen were given a respectful hearing. The Trib- une is not prepared to give an ex- tended mention of their address es, but the campaign is young yet and may be we will have a better opportunity..to learn of the issues involved. There be many of those throughout the state that do not consider either of the gentlemen who were here Friday as Gin it" in the guberatorial race any how. George w. Donaghey, the man who has picked so many holes in the new state house, is labelled ''the man" in great many portions of the state.
 Kirby charges Donaghey with having bought the state secretary of the Farmers Union, aud says he is going to try to buy the votes of the Union to elect him governor. He say Donaghey is worth S250, ,000, but that he can't write contract for the erection of ten foot wall. Mr. Kirby made one suggestion that The Tribune believes a good one, and that is that the constitution be amended so that the people can elect a lieutenant governor when they elect others officers. MT. McFarlane devoted most of his speech to a defense of the state capitol commission.
 Every man who runs for office has to have a vehicle of some sort. He has to cater to a we'll established custom of having a platform, and advocate some- thing, and as a side line he must go-after somebody's scalp.
 The average citizen of Arkan- sas has little interest in political affairs at the present time, his attention being taken up in the affairs of his business and it will be several months, yet before he is going to pay much attention to the pow-wow of the candi- dates for governor.

SAN JOSE SCALE
Fall Spraying Recommended
 to Combat This Great Evil
A PRACTICAL FRUIT GROWER
Writes for Fruit Journal on
 Practical Demonstrations

As the San Jose scale becomes more widely scattered over the United States growers every where are trying to devise more effective ways of fighting the in : sect, and among the plans which are becoming more popular is to spray the trees in autumn, just after the leaves have fallen, and before the insects have retreated to their winter quarters. MT. A. N. Brown, Wyoming, Del, who has had much practical exper- fence in fighting this insect, sends the Fruit Grower, the following notes on fall spraying, which will be appreciated by everyone who is compelled to fight this very troublesome in- sect.
 Fall spraying for San Jose scale has advantages over spraying that orchardists are beginning to recognize. The first that can be said in favor of this plan is that the scale is then least resistant, the incrustation being soft and the young larvae of the late broods still plainly in evidence. At this stage the contract reme- dies which must be used in the control of this pest are more ef- fective, because the scale cover- ing is not hard, and therefore is more easily penetrated. All scales which survive the winter are found in the spring we'll pro- : tected by the hard, bony crust formed over them, and they are then the most resistant against remedies used for their destruc- ton.
 Again, if spraying is done in the fall, and upon examination of the sprayed trees in the following March there are live scales still found, we have an opportunity

Caution to Makers of Butter.

Caution to Makers of Butter. J. B. Harden hands us the following from the St. Louis Market Reporter, which he re- gards as very important to pro- ducers of butter, as the regula- tions are becoming so strict that local dealers cannot offord to handle butter any more unless they are positive that the law has been compiled with in mak. ing it. The Market Reporter says:
 "The Internal Revenue De- partMent is now enforcing the law in regard to moisture in but ter and inspecting all lots receiv- ed by the dealers. Butter con- taining 16 per cent or more water is classed as adulterated butter. A wholesale dealer is required to have license which costs S480.00 per year A manu- lecturers license is S600.00 per year. A merchant buying but ter from farmers and packing the different lots he buys in tubs, barrels, or pails, is classed as 8 wholesale dealer in adulterated butter, if the lot contains 16 per cent or more moisture, and sub. ject to wholesale dealers's license of $480.00 per year. The dealer who ladies or adds salt or mois- ture to butter in packing is classed a manufacturer and sub- ject to the manufacturers license of $600.00 per year and tax of 10c per lb. if butter contains 16 per cent or nor moisture.
