Cotton for Wrapoing Cotton
 Bales.

It is reported that the officers of the Farmers Uunion contem- plate an active crusade looking to the substitution of cotton bag
 ging for the jute material now in use. The idea is that a bag
 ging made of cotton will not only give a better and more effectual protection to bales of this staple but that the use of cotton for bagging for this purpose will augment the market and create larger demand for it. Both reasons are sound reasons, and should the Farmers Uuion take up the matter vigorously 1t should receive assistance of every cotton producer in the South
 Indeed a victory of this sort is something to strive for by every one in the cotton belt, and if achieved this section will owe a d ebt of gratitude to this union.

School May Increase Tax.

Acting Governor John l. Moore has affixed his official signature 10 Amen lment No. x, known all over the State as the educational amendment, whereby people of any school district are allowed to vote a special tax for school pur- pose. Sloeranten lent of Public Insti uction J. J. Doync has al ready received many letters from dis ricts over State stating that an effort will be made to get the people to vote the full tax at the eiaes;ags -t 4s By this means, ms C. 2 alsfEiets which i2a.-e bSSeksfore beehe erip- pied fer lack of finds, will Bs al lowed to hold a nine moi Ehs srheol each year and to make other much needed impro1(- lnents The amendment permits the voting of a 7-mill tax, instead of j as hare-before !
 To the people of Lonele county [ trust. that the people of Lonolie county who are inter- ested in the future welfare of the schools will take advantage of the liberty granted by the passage of Amendment Nc 8, and vote the limit of : mills, where 1t can eused 10 improve school coadi- tions or to lengthen terms of teaching. Many districts have been embarrassed for lack of funds under the limit of five mills, and will surely vote the full seven mills allowed now.
 We believe that the majority of the people of lonoke county will act wisely in this matter and vote the limit of seven mills.

The house was beautifully decorated with roses and magnolias.

They were given five minutes in which to write hymn, the first prize being awarded to Mrs. E. D. Patterson, and the consolation to C. c. Saunders. Refreshments, consisting of cake and ice cream were then served in the dining room which was decorated in roses and honeysuckle.

What Ara Birds Worth to Us Or
 The Farm

Birds are in every respect the very best insect deStroyers we farmers have. Most all birds destroy insects and bugs to a greater extent. One quail will destroy more bugs and insects s in one day than three men. 1 was so glad to know that the bird law came into effect. The only objection 1 have to it is that it should be in force the year around, because of the many all-natured hunters that will kill all the birds they can, but if the bird law was in force all the time the birds and farm CTS would be a great deal better protected. All praise to Farm and Ranch for hammering away until it succeeded in securing for us the present law. Some farmers. have horror of birds sometimes ,on account of their eating berries, grapes and cher ries and other fruit. but while the birds may eat some fruit they will also eat the insects, worms. etc, that sometimes de stroy the life of the trees. Therefore. the birds are a great benefit and always do more good than harm. If it can not be seen at the time it will tell in the future. If every farmer would protect the birds and not allow any of them killed on his farm every year there would be better crops and not so many different insects to prey upon them, besides the countless weed seed that the birds eat and de- stroy each and every year. Lytton H. Bush, in Farm and Ranch.

Farmers Unoin Cotton School

The Farmers Union Cotton School that has been recommend ed by the Union and ordered by the executive committee, will open July 15 The school will be taught in Conway, the de tails of which have been refer red to Ben l.. Griffin, state sec retary, and James I. Ellis, state business agent, to arrange. We wish to add that the state is to pay the fees of the teachers of the school. The state will furn- ish samples and types of cotton and the instructors, hence there will be but little cost attached to the course of instruction that will be very valuable to the farm CTS, and we hope that every warehouse district will send to this school it's best qualified members for such work. This isa business proposition in which we are all very much in terested and the positions that will demand these cotton graders and handlers are such that as demand our best representative men-a business man and one in whom perfect confidence and re- lance can be placed. Teachers will be secured and the complete program of the school made known sometime in the inmedi- etc future.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it Is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.

Remarkable Loss of Memory.

Dr. Macnish in his book on "The Phi losophy of Sleep" gives the following remarkable instance of lost memory:
 "A young American woman on awak- ening from protracted sleep lost memory of all she had before learned. Her memory was capacious and was stored with copious stock of ideas. Unexpectedly and without any fore warning she fell into a profound sleep, which continued several hours beyond the ordinary term. On waking she was discovered to have lost every trace of acquired knowledge. Her memory was a clean washed slate. All vestiges both of words and things were obliterated and gone. It was found necessary for her to learn everything again. She even acquired by new efforts the arts of spelling, reading, writing and cal culating and gradually became ac- quainted with the persons and objects around, like a being for the first time brought into the world. In these exer- cises she made considerable profcien- cy. But after few months another At of somnolency invaded her. On rous. ing from it she found herself restored to the state she was in before the first paroxysm, but was wholly ignorant of every event and occurrence that had befallen her afterward."

cessful and favorite teacher and ire quent visitor.
 The annual roll.call and business meeting held at the Baptist church on the afternoon and evening of the 11th was very pleasant and prons. able gathering. The reports were all satisfactory. There are now III members. several of the non-residents responding by letter. The report of the treasurer, Miss Rose O. Hall, showed all bills paid. and 2 surplus of over .$2OO in the bank in Norwich. The old board of officers were choser. An excellent supper was partaken or at the close of the afternoon session, and communion was observed at the close of the roll.call, the reunion closing by all joining hands around the church and singing "Blest be the t;e that binds" The work of the Ladies' Aid in the renovating the narsopa0e to some extent was highly appreciated, and 1t was voted to re- pair, the parsonage barn, at the dis oretion of the trustees.
 June came and spent the whole day Sunday, and that of itself was enough to make any reasonable person happy but when it brought Ohildren's day in it's transit 1t was an episode to be remembered. The church was beau- tifully decorated with the abundance of wild flowers, and the exercises passed of very pleasantly under the leadership of the retiring superintend- ent. Miss Mabel Clarke. Children in the processional, most of whom had a part in the speaking or singing were Grace Watrous, Annie Tomasco, Will lie Cleveland, Adolph Parizek. Mary Hak. Inez Pierce, John Wostrel, An his Wostrel, Tony Wostrel, Dorothy Pierce, Ernest Gray, Mary Smith. Oldriok Vonasek, Tony Hak. Anton Gemina, Frank Vonasek, Mildred Mertle, Willie Germina, Phyllis By der, Mary Parizek, Julia Cartier, Charlie Lyon, Elinor Watrous. Louisa Smith, Charles Wagner Wolfe. There was an address by the pastor on the work of the American Baptist PubH cation society work. the collection of five dollars being for that object. and the closing prayer by Pastor GardLeI of the Congregational church. The singing was exceptionally good, the selections being very fine, and the re- sponsive reading was from the new service book. The attendance wal large and the occasion an enjoyable one.

 Jesse T. Leonard. 83, died sudden ly at the home of his son, George Leonard, last Sunday, the 9th. MT Leonard had been in his usual health and spirits up to within few hours of death. The week before. in com pany with his brother, A. Leonard, he had visited his old home in Shutes- bury, and thoroughly enjoyed his trip. He was a remarkably we'll preserved man, with the exception of failing eyesight. His spirit was young, and his cheerful disposition made many friends for him. Sincere regret will be felt by all who knew him that this kindly old gentleman has passed on-a regret that will be tempered by the thought that he died suddenly, without any long days and nights of illness and pain. Mir. Leonard arose Sunday morning feeling as we'll as us- ual, but in short time complained of pain in his side. He laid down, and Dr. 0. W. Jackson was called, but he died before the physician reached the house. The cause of his death was acute indigestion and weak ness of the heart MT. Leonard wal a man of irreproachable character
 and was the oldest member of tho

BIacksnakes.

I have never seen blacksnakes over seven feet long, and I much doubt if they grow to greater length. They are not hard to catch, though in an open field they can run about as fast as a man can. When caught they struggle desperately until they find there is no opportunity to escape, when they will give up fighting and may be handled with impunity. I have never found these snakes to be vicious. They can be handled easily, and their bite is harmless. They can squeeze pretty hard if they get a turn around your waist, but not hard enough to break bone-Forest and Stream.
