All over the country the question of wrapping for cotton is being agi- tated, and not without some good re- suits. The Texas State Union, lately in session at Ft. Worth. decided that there must be a big bagging mill built in Texas for the manufacture of wrapping from the cheaper grades of cotton. The Geogia Union has de- cided to use burlap this season so far as possible, and to get to the cotton wrapping proposition as soon as pos sible. Cotton should be wrapped in cotton, and the ties should be cotton cords. That is the way to use lot or the cheap grades that now bring comparatively little on the market. yet which Is worked over and made to take the place of good cotton in the manufactories.

Commission to Leave Soon.

Commission to Leave Soon.
 Superintendent J. J. Doyne, Super intendent B. w. Torrey of Little Rock and Senator Otis T. Wing4 of De Queen, the committee appointed by the State Normal Board to visit nor nal schools in several states, are mak- ing arrangements to start on the trip Monday and will be absent about ten days. The committee will probably visit the normal schools in Missouri, Louisiana and South Carolina. Dr. Wycliffe Rose of New York, manager of the Peabody fund, expects to join the committee in South Carolina. When the committee returns to Little Rock plans and specifications of the proposed Arkansas State Normal school building will be prepared under the directions of the board. It is the intention of the committee to have he plans ready to be presented to the board at it's meeting September i. George w. Donaghey of Conway has been in the city and held a short con ference with Superintendent Doyne re- garding the transfer to the state of the property at Conway upon which the school is to be located. Mr. Donaghey stated that everything was in readiness for the transfer. The property consists of 80 acres and is just outside the western limits of the city of Conway. MT. Donaghey also stated that the Conway bonus of $51,- 753 would be forthcoming when re quired by the board. He is of the opinion that the work of constructing the building will be commenced some time in October. It is expected the in vestigations of the committee will re- suit in great saving to the state. An architect will accompany the com mittee on it's inspection tour, and when the members return to Little Rock they will engage at once in ar ranging the details for the construc- tion of the normal school building at Conway.

State Capital Notes

Little Roek.-About 50 ex-Confed-
 crate veterans and sons and grandsons
 of ex-Confederate veterans enjoyed the
 watermelon feast provided by Com
 missioner Guy B. Tucker Saturday af-
 ternoOn in commemoration of the bat
 tie of Oak Hills. A number of large
 sized watermelons were carved and
 served to the party at 4 o'clock. The
 fruit was red and ripe, and was much
 enjoyed by all of MT. Fuckers guests,
 who rendered him a vote of thanks at
 the conclusion of the feast. The GUS tom of eating watermelon on the Oak
 Hills battle anniversary at the state house originated in 1886. A few days before the anniversary that year it was suggested that a banquet be
 given in honor of the event. This was found to be impracticable, and it was finally decided to have watermelon feast, which has been given every year since on August 10. The first was
 given while Elias B. Moore was secre-
 tary of state. Among those who par took of the juicy melon on that occa- sion were Gen. T. J. Churchill, Maj. w. E. Woodruff, Maj. W. P. Campbell,
 Col. Feb Ward, Capt. James R. Miller,
 Grandson D. Royston, Prof. James Mitchell, Maj. John D. Adams, Charles E. Penzel and many others. The GUS tom was kept up by every succeeding secretary of state, B. B. Chism, H. B. Armistead, Alex Hull, J. w. Crockett and O. c. Ludwig. On account of the absence from the city of MT. Ludwig, | Commissioner Guy B. Tucker gave the feast Saturday and enteretained the | veterans in the corridor of the state
 house adjoining the agricultural de | nartment

Inventor of the soomerano.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle One might think that the highest laws of mathematics had been laid under contribution in the perfecting of it The convexity on one side, the flat ness on the other, and the sharp, knife like edge on the inside of the con vexity have the air of having been carefully thought out.
 Yet the people who invented this singular weapon cannot count higher than five and are destitute of all the arts and amenities of life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest plane of human life.
 Some people have assumed that the boomerang was the creation of an old. CT and higher civilization, but for this there is no evidence. It must he the product of one age long empirical use of throwing weapons.

BLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR.
Chinaman Was Different from Any He
 Had Had Dealings With.

When former Minister Wu Ting Fang left this country he was accom- panied by an extensive retinue and at tended to the steamer by a delegation of local Chinese merchants.
 The customs officials, who then were also immigration inspectors, carefully took the names and count of the local Chinese as they went on board This precaution was to prevent some de- ported or otherwise not welcome celes- tial from effecting landing by joining the merchants as they came ashore after taking ceremonious farewell of their distinguished countryman. Half an hour or so after Wu and his friends had gone on board one of Wu's secretaries arrived on the dock and was hurrying up the gangplank when customs inspector seized him by the arm and pulled him back on the wharf
 "Washamalla you, John, no takee name, you no can come back. Who you belong?" said the inspector, smil- ing at some girls with whom he had been talking.
 The Chinese shook loose the inspec- tors hold on the loose sleeve of his silk robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
 This violence is unnecessary, sir, and my name is a matter of no inter- est to you. I am member of his ex- cellency's suite go on board this steamer to leave this country, never again, hope, to return"
 That customs inspector is still on the force, but never since has he tried to be funny with Chinese gentleman San Francisco Call.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-
 scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians, especially of those whose experience has been neither far reaching nor profitable, to patent" medicines, nine- ty per cent of all drugs that physi- clans use are put up and compounded by manufacturing concerns,-are, iD fact, patent" medicines just as truly newspapers.
 The average doctor knows little or nothing of pharmacy and is, there fore, glad to depend on the very medi. cines, which in public he condemns, just as he is obliged in many cases to depend on the diagnosis of the pa- tient himself, even while publicly de- crying what he calls "self-diagnosis." ," How rapid has been the growth of the professional use of patent or pro prietary" medicines is shown in an article written for the Journal of the American Medical Association for September 29, 1906, by A. .Jacobi, M. D., IL. D. He relates that 50,000 pre- scriptions, compounded in several
 
 drug stores were carefully en....dned From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was found for "patent" or proprietary medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip. tion in 1,500 called for ready-to-use remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the number calling for patent" or "pro. prietary" medicines equalled two per cent of the total. This increased to per cent in the period between 1880 and 1890. In 1895 it was 12 per cent in 1898 it was 15 per cent, and in 1902 1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
 Dr. Jacobi says that in a large store he was assured that 70 per cent of the prescriptions were for patent or proprietary" medicines. and this probably is approximately the correct proportion at the present time. From this it would seem that if the patent and proprietary" medicines are good enough for physicians to prescribe in seven cases out of ten they are good enough for family use in cases of necessity and where the symptoms are well known and as easily under. stood by the people as by the doc tors.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING ATT.
Wife's Sneering Comment Met with
 Sharp Answer.

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner or the American Booksellers associa- tion of New York said: q once knew San Franciscan who married a girl for her money. She was not a pretty girl, and as time passed and love cooled. she developed a rather tart tongue.
 One day her husband bought with his quarters allowance 2O-horse- p"wer automobile. He took the car home gayly and brought his wife out to the front door to look at it. She gave one sneering glance, and then said:
 It's very fine, but if it hadn't been for my money, 1t wouldn't be here
 We'll, Mamie,' said the husband. quickly, If 1t hadn't been for your money you wouldn't be here your. self.'"

In the good old days all the farms in the same neighborhood were de- voted to the same crops and culti- vated in the same way, some of them more closely than some others, but pretty much the same in general. That sort of thing has gone to the eternal limbo, with the advancements in all lines. The farmer, that is the real thing farmer, is different sort of man. He is rapidly becoming a specialist. Not in the way of an ex- elusive one crop man; oh, no; he has a variety of crops, and from these he wisely selects those that will be sure in the aggregate to yield him the best sure returns. He knows that it will not do to depend on one crop. That plan is a loser all the time. He se- lects those things that arc best adapt ed to his lands and markets, for the stability of an article has as much to do with it's value as it's production. This is the thing that the Union is emphasizing in all its work.

HIS FOOT ON THE TREADMILL.
Mir. Joacker Tells of One Sentenced to
 Hard Labor for Life.

Said MT. Joacker, who was reading the paper: Another poor wretch has been given life sentence at hard la- bor"
 Said Mrs. Joaeker, who was en- broidering blue roses: Probably he deserves it. What is he guilty of"
 Fraud and no visible means of SUD- port. He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He seems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it is plain that he has never done tap of work, though he has managed to live well, so far. But the poor fellow takes his sentence hard and cries piteously, protesting his innocence"
 ''The wretch! He must have dealt with perfect fools."
 No, his victim is our own friend, Jack Smith

MACHINERY VS. HIRED HELP.

One problem that the farmers Of the West have been trying to solve during the last four years is whether machinery can be made to take the
 place of high priced and unsatisfac- tory labor and whether or not ma chinery is the cheaper. The old two man crew of pitching hay either on the wagon or stack has given place to the hay loader and stacker. 10th work satisfactorily, either one doing more than any two men can possibly do. The two row cultivator has taken the place of one man in the corn field and the resulting work is just as sat isfactory. And so in all lines of farm work. If farmer is willing to in- vest little his of money in machin- cry instead of labor he will get re- suits just the same. The tools do not have to be fed. They do not have to have bed made up each day and the washing that hired man has in the weekly tub is lacking entirely. All this is an expense much greater than we generally figure on. We are too apt to think that all the expense of a hired man is comprised in the $20 or s25 per month that we pay him, when if the truth was known, $10 month at least, should be added to that. Ma chinery seems to tighten the work of the women folks greatly, but on the other hand, the farmer lacks the help in doing the chores. This amounts to a good deal in some cases and on come farms hired help is a necessity
The Huttig news., 1907-08-17

The man who stores his tools be- side the fence is the same man who is always having trouble with all the tools he buys because they are 'nO count, nohow." There are too many of this sort of men all over this coun- try disgracing the farming business. The Union ought to get hold of them and make them respectable, or else induce them to get out of the busi- ness.

The good of diversifcation has nev- CT had finer illustration of it's benefi- cence than it has had in the Panhan- dle country of Texas. Some twenty years ago, that was thought to be the original home of wheat" and wheat only was planted. Well, the dry weather and the green bug came along, and all the stalks the drouth got, and the green bug dug up the roots. This happened three years to- gether, andthe result was that the country was practically depopulated. The green bug and bad weather were as bad this year as they ever were, but the people of the Panhandle do not know that anything has happened to them. There are now great fields are fields of great big cotton-yes, cotton in the Pandandle-there is milo maize, and the good Lord only knows what else, but these people actually don't know that the thing that happened to their wheat this year, and which they do not notice at all, happened quarter of century ago and depopulated the land and beg gared the remaining few. Boys, di- versify. But for goodness sake don't get it into your head that a change of crop is diversification. One sort of exclusive crop is about as bad as an- other, if not little worse. Plant, above all, the things that you can use at home
