THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
Now Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Horne Grounds

Writing in MaAWcN'S Tal.,aau ot the work of the garden school in New. ton, Mrs. II. X. Elliott say@:
 An object lesson 10 the citizens O. Newton was the garden school con. ducted by the ladies of tie Social Sci enCe club of that town during tl.e sllus- nler of 1906. Assured by Gcorge II Maxwell of the Homo Crorters' g&i!d o' the Talisman of the free services Uf an experienced garden director, provided the club could dofray the further ex- pense of garden. d committee of five ladies was appointed from the club t6 see what could be done
 First they obtained the use of piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass plot. Then an appeal was made by the com mlttee 10 the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent circular letter to about fifteen of the enterprislng business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them If they were sufficiently interested in the OK pertinent to give it some financial sup port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of week we had the required $10O, and the director went to work One hundred and six gardens by ",1 feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantum district, and the names of as many more inter ested children were placed on the wait ing list.
 A few of these children, having learn ed how under the direction at the gar, den school, went back to the home dooryards which had for all time prcvi. ously been used for dumps. cleared away the debris. spadcd up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director The reward was q scarlet runner at the doorstep, row each of lettuce, radishns and beans and for garden flowers nasturtiums. suntiowers and sweet alySsuin. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his homo garden into the cXhibi- ton at Horticultural haIl and was awarded prize. Could these children. think you, ever again be contcntcd tc live in a dump instead of q flower gar. den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect; that tEe s1ii through hcalthful. pleasant labor will produce food supplies sufficient to nour, ish the body: that debris, sQualor and untidncss may be supplantcd by clean. liness. order and beauty and lHaaN oth CT lessons, not the least of which were pride in ownership and respect for oth CT peoples rights.

School Gardens In Washington.

The school garden movement in Washington. which started humbly n few years ago. has so strongly appeal ed to the children and their parents that with comparatively little assist ance from the public funds 1t has thriyed amazingly. Already marked change Is observable not only in the immediate surroundings of the school buildings themselves, but in all parts f the town at the homes of the little ones. They have been taught plant love in terms which have in many cases never been presented to them be- fore. By their personal participation in the work of making gardens, in prepar ing the ground. selecting and planting the seeds caring for the sprouts and the plants and finally plucking the blooms of their own cultivation they have gaihed sense of responsibility which makes for the improvement of the whole town

PROUD OF HIS TOWN.
What One Man Is Doing to improve
 Jackson, Tenn.

Jack.on, enn.
 One of the most progressive town officials ill the south is Samuel Lan caster, city engineer of Jackson. Tenn MT. Lancaster thinks there Is no place like Jackson, and ne wants others tc think so, too, and le is doing every thing in his power to make 1t one Q! the pretliest towns in tine country Il. Is due ill a great measure to his ef forts that good roads are being built in Madison county. But road building is not all that has engrossed the big brain of San. Lancaster. says writer 10 Breeders Gazette. As manager ot the waterworks he saw chance to do things. Jackson had no park, and near the waterworks there was needed a raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the fill, and before any one knew what he was up to he had built fine lake on the site whence came the earth for the fll. Smaller lakes near by cam> then drives, bridges, boats. lilies (mai' velous liles). banks of flowers, trees.
 An unsishtly railway yard adjoined the watcrworks. The railway was ask ed for few cars of earth. Presto Sam made the yard and the park join Grass. flowers, shrubs, beauty, order. seats comfort. inspiration. hope all came out of that old sink hole. And the manager only grinned when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced part of his right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say, Jack son, Tenn. is beautiful place and must have people of culture within it."

RUBBER GOODS RISING.

New York, Jan. 25.-The prices of all rubber goods continue to in- crease owing to the recent action of the United States Rubber com pany in advancing all it's prices $ per cent. Owing, however, to the fact that retailers of rubber goods, such as boots, overshoes and other articles of wearing apparel, which constitute the bulk of the com pany's output, having placed their orders for winter trade nearly a year in advance will have little of . feet until the fall. The rise has been caused by the continued scarcity of rubber which is now sell ing at the highest price since the Civil war.

HAVE YOU
 WEAK LUNGS?
Do You Fear COnsumption!

When We take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this climate dies of consumption, is it any wonder that it is feared by the people of Pine Bluff who have weak lungs and chronic colds and coughs?" said our local druggist, A. G. Bedell.
 Physicians everywhere have recog- nized the value of cod liver oil for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases, but, unfOr tunately, few could take it and derive any benefit from it's use on account of the indigestible oil which it contain ed.
 We want every person in Pine Bluff to know that Vinol actually con- tains ill a concentrated form all of the bodybuilding, strength-creating ele- ments of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' liver, without a drop of oil to upset the stOmavA and retard its work, and tonic iron added.
 Therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol will do far more good. We guar antee Vinol will improve the appetite. strengthen digestion, make rich, red blood, create strength, cure chronic coughs and colds, and strengthen weak lungs"
 If Vinol fails to give satisfaction to our customers, we return money with out question. A. G. Bedell, Drug gist.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Pine Bluff, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in yout town.
