 We are so useo t,"tAt.t u,g of the soi As mere mineral .n'attas that 1t comea quite as a shock to find this is a mls- take. AS a matter of fact the layer of soft mold which clothes the ground In al1 cultivable districts and from which vegeta tion springs is actually in great part living layer of tiny plants and animals. Interiacing threads of molds and fungi worms and grubs, creeping insects. tiny root parasites, decaying leaves and the millions of bacteria which spring from them-all these are mixed and mingled together for many inches down below our feet in a con. fused mass of life. Germs of all sorts swarm in countless millions. Indeed, ell the plants that grow and life that exists or the face of the earth owe their being to the fact that the ground Is alive. You take shovelful of the finest soil .n the world and sterilize !t-that is. beat 1t till all the life in 1t Is destroyed-anG then plant seeds in It. No amount of care or watering will make those seeds grow. Their life de bends on the life in the soil around them.-I-ondon Answers

ARKANSAS CITY TO LITTLE ROCK IN
 SEVEN HOURS

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 2- From Little Rock to Arkansas City in seven hours seems al- most an elysian dream to those who make the journey frequent ly and are from twelve to eight cen hours in covering the dis tance, yet that is the time made to Little Rock by H. NJ. Armis- tead, R. Walker Palch and w. B. Miller, returning from a hunting trip in the vicinity of Arkansas City. The trip was made in a two cylinder Buick car. The party left Arkansas City at II o'clock, running through Gillette, and reached Little Rock at 6 o'clock in the evening. In only one place was a bad road encountered, in the Bayou Meto bottoms, in Lonoke county, just before entering Pu- laski county.

an interesting case submitted on an agreed statement of facts, which involves the rights of a railroad to violate the interstate laws, in filling an agreement and in which it makes it's own 1outing. The Block-Lyons Li- ouor Co. purchased in Butler Junction, Penn., a car of liquor bottled in fasks. At that time there was a rate on this class cf goods via Cairo, or Thehes, Ill. of roc per hundred pounds. The agent of the L. X N. railroad here solicited the business ot transporting the car to Little Rock. It was agreed that It would be given to him II the rate was met. The agent re- piled that his road would publish the rate and upon this agree ment he was given the ship ment. The rate was published, but made effective from Pitts burg only, through an oversight and the car had moved forward. The car was turned over to the Rock Island at Memphis and when delivered here the railroad demanded the full rate of Sl.5o per hundred pounds and the suit resulted over the additional soc per hundred charge.

Little Rock was almost like a grave yard last night during the receipt of the election returns. There was an occasional flash of good news which would be met with enthusiasm in the Demo- cratic crowds. On the other hand the Republicans had very good time, especially the negroes, who met at the Lyric, a moving picture show on West Ninth street, where they listened to the returns and kept up noise suffi- cient to keep the people who had no cause for jubilant and cocifer ous expressions from sleeping.

TWENTY MILES IN AN AeR0PlAAe

Another record has been bro- ken in aeronautics and for anoth- CT time something has been done in the air that was never done before.
 We have heard much lately of the achievements of the Wrights and others, but on last Friday Henry Farman made a new record by flying his aeroplane from Mourmelon to Rheims in France, a distance of 20 miles. After circling the ascension field once he headed for Rheims and sailed away over the tops of trees in a bee line. He made 20 miles in 20 minutes. Part of the way his machine was three hun dred feet high.
 The distance is about that from Little Rock to LOnoke. We thus see that a possibility is for a man to get in an aeroplane in Little Rock and fly to Lonoke in 20 minutes, much faster time than is made by any train on the Rock Island road. Gazette.

despoiled this land of two million
of her sons who live as we now live
and enjoyed the privileges that we
now enjoy, was that we might live
in union and without strife.
Then is it not proper that we do
something in public way to per-
petuate their memory? Utilize the
