Rice Crop Promises We'll

Little Rock, June 26.-One crop which has not been injured this year by the exceptionally wet weather is the rice crop, and the yield in that staple this year promises to put Arkansas well up in the rice raising states w. G. Nincenheller, director of the state experimental stations. passed through Little Rock last night on his way home to Fay etteville, after visiting the sub station at Lonoke, which is de- devoted almost entirely to the culture of rice. Director Vincen- heller says the crop is as far ad- vance1 as he ever saw it at this time of the year, and the yield will be very large. Mir Vincen- heller thinks the practica bility of rice culture in Arkansas is now assured and all lands which are adapted to it's culture should be switched from cotton and cCrn to a crop which is sure, is easily handled and is sure to bring { good price.

PIKE COUNTY DIAMONDS
Prof. Philip E Schneider of Sayracuse, NY. Makes Report on the
 Pike County Field.

Prof. Philip F.. Schneider of Syracuse, N. Y., who has for son.e time been preparing a report up- on the Arkansas diamond fields for the State Bureau of Mines Manufacturers and Agricult Ire has filed his final report with Commissioner Guy B. Tucker of that bureau.
 The report . an exhaustive treatise of the diamond subject. containing a brief history of all the know II diamond mines in the world, with statements concern ing the occurrence of the gem. tie character of the rock. and the production of the mines. Among the fields thus described are the mines of India, dating back to the time of Solomon which have yielded so many of the stones fn- nous i'll history, the Brazilian mines, for so many years the source of the worlds supply oi gems, and the more recently Ci,- covered fields in South Africa. BorneO, Russia, Siberia, China and Australia.
 The American fields includes the Blue Ridge Mountain district the Sierra Nevada region. the Great Lake District, and the region in Pike County. Arkansas. The last named district differs from all the other fields in this country, in that it contains iia- monds in place in a kimte.Iite rock, which is practically identi- cal with the South African rock which now furnishes our entire supply of diamonds.
 The dark green rock which con tains the diamond is described in great detail, as are also the var ious minerals which compose it. Some of these minerals may also have a commercial value. Most of the diamond bearing lani is said to be controlled by the Lit tie Rock Diamond Syndicate. which is now installing much ma chinery preparatory to thor oughly prospecting the outcrop

politician dressed in frock coat and a
high hat could not convince the dog that
he had made a mistake. And in most in
stances the dog would be right.
When a dog resorts to saloon it is not
to imbibe exhilarants that sparkle in crys-
tai cups. but to take a whack at the free
lunch. and if the dog can stand this, no
man ought to make complaint. 1t might
be an act of cannibalism for the dog to
eat the free bologna, but as the dog prob
ably knows more about the kind of dog he
is eating than anybody else he should be
permitted to decide for himself. Dogs that
eat free lunch are showing their friendship
for man.
1t is hoped, however, that the New York
police dogs will not be set at the thank
less and uncertain work of taking into
custody stray dogs or unregistered cats.
because there would probably be an in
crease in the number of police funerals.
A stray dog will have no greater respect
for n dog armed with police authority
than for any other kind OF a dog, and
fights would be sure to result from an
encounter. AS for stray cats, well, all
dogs look alike to them.

The Matrimonial Market.

Another American heiress has married

heiress has millions of her own and more
in prospect. The foreign nobleman is said
10 be wealthy in his own right. The
dot is arranged on terms which makes
the newly created countess joint manager
of the fortune. 1t is not difficult to see
the probable finish.
The forbears of the young woman who
has just been auctioned off were humble
people. The first American Vanderbilt
was a Dutch farmer who settled near
Brooklyn about 1850. This was the great
at-grandfather of the founder of the
family fortune. Cornelius. better known
as the old commodore" Until Cornelius
there were no riches in the Vanderbilt
vaults There were no vaults save those
irf which the stock of potatoes was kept
until the young Cornelius could carry them

means of a sailbeat. That boat was the
beginning First the young Cornelius
learned navigation in her. Then he bought
a boat of his own, being then at the ad-
varted age OF sixteen. He became ferry
man and made money. He was financial

field with keener appreciation of its alb
Surdity? Who. with the possible eSCep-

about the committee of notification in
droller terms? He has. indeed treated
the matter delightfully."- and given just the
proper space To it.
The author of that yarn should have

out Of nothing. He started quite little
talk on what a moments reflection on

was not difficult to believe that one of
Ircrpout Morgan's confidential men
might ne found with cheek enough To ad-
Wis. Mr.. BrNan To quit the race. but who
could suppose that anybody else would?
What authority was there to imagine that
any dcmocratic politician o. position and
influence would do such thing. or, if so,
that his suggestion would he met with
othcr than contemptuous silence"

The Kaiser.

The kaiser at forty-nine bulks large in
the worlds affairs and his influence is for
peace. He has disappointed all of his
enemies-brought to nothing all of their
predictions. At the outset he was both
misunderstood and misrepresented. That
he would plunge Europe into war in
few years was the honest expectation of
some men high in authority. Others
merely pretended to the dread. Instead
of this the kaiser has thrown his whole
power into the scale for progress. Ger
many under his drection-and he has been
supreme at home-has gone steadily for
ward, and is greater today in influence on
the worlds affairs than ever before. The
only notable change is this: that whereas
there was uneasiness when the kaiser
took charge there is uneasiness now lest
he soon let go. Reports as to his health
are disquietng, and everywhere is ap-
probation of the loss his country and the
world would sustain by the death at any
time soon of so strong man so strongly
intrenched in the general esteem. Even
the French have grown to admire him.
