A WISE FARMER.

The following is from a Mis-
souri, farmers address before a
farmers institute: As a rule the
farmers know no frmer friend
than the country press. The
home paper is DISTINCTLY the farm
er's own paper, supported direct
ly or indirectly (by the farmers
who compose the backbone of the
printers subscription list, and
largely for what the merchant adj
vertises. Now brothers, let us
not forget our friends. Let us
see that our subscription is paid
before the first of January, and a
year in advance if we can afford
it. The man or paper who fights
my battles can have my support.
Another thing, the merchants
who advertise are ones who make
it possible for US to get good
local paper, and the men or firms
who are too penurious to adver-
tise and help support the local
press, have no right to the farm
er's patronage.
II propose hereafter to go to
good live local advertiser and a
man who will do his share in sup
porting the local press, thus con.
trlbutlng to my support, rather
than buy of the man who proposes
to take all and give nothing in re-
turn.

MRS. r. n. POWELL DEAD
Good Woman Passes Away After
Much Suffering From Lung Trouble.

Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, wife of
Judge r. H. Powell, died at her
home near Departee Friday night,
after a prolonged illness from lung
trouble.
The funeral took place at the
First Methodist church at Bates
vile Sunday, the remains being
inferred at the OakIawn cemetery.
From the Batesville Daily Guard
we clip the following sketch of
Mrs. Powell's life:
Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Gardner and she was born in Jack
son, Tenn, in 1916. She lived
there until she reached young wo-
manhood and graduated from the
Jackson Female College. Shortly
after her graduation she came to
Arkansas and taught school with
her brother, John w. Gardner, in
the Academy at Philadelphia, the
old social center of lizard county.
Here in 1878 she married Judge
Powell and for several years they
lived in Melbourne. Then, in
1892 they moved to Batesville, liv
ing there until about three years
ago, when they moved to Depar
tee. Four children came to bless
their union, of whom only two are
now living. Guy, the oldest, was
drowned a few years ago in White
river and Madge, the youngest,
died in infancy. Misses Ruth and
Lucie are now living at home.
She has two sisters living, Mrs.
Ransom Gully at Hardy and Mrs.
w. E. Davidson at Ash Flat.
Mrs. Powell has been a member
of the First Methodist church of
Batesville since, she was a young
lady and has ever held the esteem
of all who knew her as Cody,
Christian woman, a blessing to her
home and and community

WILL FIGHT TWO-CENT LAW
Railroads Will Institute Court Pro-
ceedings Against Reduction.

The railroads operating In Mis-
souri,, most of which have lines in
Arkansas, have announced that
suit will be instituted in the Mis-
souri, court to prevent the enforce
ment of the two-cent rate bill,
which has recently passed the
legislature of that state. Later
arrangements will be made to fight
similar bills in Arkansas and Ala
hama.
The railroads base their action
upon the alleged fact that the
legislation is practically convisca
story. 1t is stated that the adop-
ton of the bills would occasion a
diminution of revenue and there
fore impair the value of property.
Should the Missouri courts decide
the bill to be unconstitutional, the
same contention will probably be
advanced in Arkansas.
Railway officials are apparently
very bitter against the rate bills
and state that their enforcement
will drive many lines out of exis-
.tence. 1t is claimed that the in
creased expenses of operation due
to- higher wages and better equip
ment have already reduced pro-
fits to minimum. They say that
If the law is enforced the public
must suffer from poorer transport
+tation facilities.

HONOR YOUR MOTHER.

Hime has scattered snowy flakes

and beautiful now? The lips are
thin and shrunken; those are the
lips which have kissed many hot
*ear from the childish cheeks, and
they are the sweetest lips in the
world. The eye is dim, yet it
glows with the soft radiance that
can never fade. All, yes She is
a dear old mother. The sands of
life are nearly run out, but feeble
as she is, she will go farther and
go down lower for you than anyone
else on earth. You cannot enter
prison whose bars can keep her
out, you cannot mount scotfold
too high for her to reach, that she
may. kiss and bless you in evidence

TRULY PHILOSOPHICAL

A northern Michigan mer-
chant tells a grimly humorous
story of a lumberman in that
section, who, after a hard win
ter in the camps, appeared in the
streets of one of the larger
towns ready and anxious "to
have a good time"
This lumberman had with him
the sum of $500, the proceeds of
his seasons labor-a sum for
which he had toiled and shaved
and risked his life in the lumber
Jams, enduring the while all the
discomforts and tribulations of
the rigorous winter. With the
$500 thus painfully amassed the
lumberman sought the compare
tive civilization of lumber
town. He first purchased him
self big drink and an expen-
sive cigar; then hied him to a
faro "joint," where he staked his
entire fortune on single play.
In another moment he was pen
niless. Shifting the cigar from
one corner of his mouth to the
other, the lumberman cheerfully
observed: ooh, we'll; easy come,
easy CO."

SEAGOING RAILROAD.
Line From Miami to key West to Cost
About $20,o0o,000.


Inside of three years, when work now
under way is completed, it will be pos
sible to travel in railroad car all the
way from New York or Chicago to Ha-
vana This will be brought about by
the construction of a seagoing rail
road which will run from key to key
over the 154 miles separating Miami
and Key West. From the latter point
1t Is only 100 miles to the Cuban capt
tal and across this stretch of water
the trains will be ferried on monster
floats capable of holding thirty cars.
This project Is an extension of the
Florida East Coast railroad, owned by
Henry NJ. Flagler. 1t was started last
year, and up to date the grading of the
section of the road on the mainland
and the construction of some of the
viaducts have been completed.
Some idea of the boldness of the un-
dertaking may be gained from tie fact
that from Long key to Conch key it is
1O,4OO feet, across knights key chan
mel 1900 feet. across Moscr key chan
mel 1900 feet and across Bahia Honda
channel 1890 feet However along
the major portion of the route lies
coral bed which will make firm
foundation for the viaducts. One of
these vaducts Will be the longest ma
rine bridge in the world, double the
length of Brooklyn bridge. In New
York The viaducts will consist of re
enforced concrete arch spans and piers,
and to insure safety and comfort the
rails will be laid thirty feet above low
water Eventually it will be double
track road all the way from Miami to
Key West.
Aside from its attractiveness to trav-
elers, this line across the Florida keys
is already being regarded in the com
mercial world as II factor in the future
development of both Florida and Cuba
About 1000 men are engaged in this
latest Flagler enterprise. The traffic
between Florida and Cuba will begin
as soon ms the line reaches Bahia Hon
da, some distance north of Key West
and where there is a deep harbor. But
the plan is to reach Key West as soon
rs possible and make that place one Of
the big southern seaports.

Money From Seaweed.

Japan, which wastes nothing in its
domestic economy, realizes S2,0OO0O0
annually from its seaweed products.
According to the report of C. j. David
son, an attache of the British embassy
at Tokyo, more than fifty varieties of
the seaweed found along the Japanese
coast are utilized either for food or as
manufactured products.
The traveller sees bundles of dried
seaweed, white with the crystalliZed
salt of the sea water, hung from the
front of every food stall. The coarser
varieties are stewed and served with
fish. Some of the delicate sprigs of
sea grass are boiled with fish soups
and remain vivid green, floating
against the red lacquer of the soup
bowls.
Other species of seaweed are used in
the manufacture of glue, of plaster and
Of starch. Whole villages are given
over to senweed fishing and the drying
and packing of the product for ship
ment to the manufacturing plants in
the large cities. In the country along
the seashore the farmers use the coarse
and ropy kelp for fertilizing their vege-
table tields.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

are kept in perfect repair and were
built originally for military purposes
before the advent of railroads Many
of the native princes give particular
care to their roads. OF course the ma

1ha haarta Of Rirds.

Most people will be surprised to learn
that the hearts Of birds are far heavier
proportionately than the hearts of ami
mails including man, but a little expla-
nation will show that this is quite nat
ural. The more the body works the
greater the demand upon the heart
upon which falls the duty of driving
the blood through the body; hence the
heart develops and becomes heavier.
Everybody knows that birds are
among the most active and hard work
ing of living creatures. The swallow
can overtake an express train. The
falcon will carry a load weighing three
pounds in the air without hindrance to
its power of flight or Its speed. In
short, they have tremendous capacity
for work. and their hearts are CORE
spondingly developed.

matrimony by the job lot!'
The amateurish daubs on the four
sides of the little parlor appeared
frightfully fiat and unpromising as she
turned from watching Elton walk
down the street, the spring gone from
his step, his face paler than she had
ever seen it. But she must try! A year
ago she would have given her two eyes
for the love she had so lightly refused
today, but that was before she had
climbed the hill of knowledge and re-
allied that her only habitation thence
forth must be in the realm of art, not
stale old Meadville. She was packed,
ready to go the moment the director of
the big art school should say the word.
Her father stepped gingerly into the
best room.

The unwOnted tenderness in her IA
TIERS voice and the real misgiving in

short laugh, made her heart suddenly
contract. How good every one was to
her! Even her father and mother were
ready to sacritic painfully, even to the
point of placing her on a plane where
she would be ashamed to recognize
