County Supervision.

The General Assembly of 1907 passed an Act making office of County Superintendent of Schools optional in each county. The question to be voted upon at the annual school election on the years preceding the general state cleo tion. The first vote for and against creating the office of Coun- ty Superintendent resulted in ia vor of this office in Garland. Jack son, Crawford. Miller and Missis- sippi counties. There is a growing sentiment in favor of county Su- pervision that indicates many more counties will vote in favor of this office in 1911 and very probably [ bill will be submitted to the gener al assembly in 1911 to make thi. act mandatory.

 Although this offer has only been made recently and has scarcely been presented. the following coun- ties have already accepted the croposition: Craighead. Greene. Independence. Jackson, Lawrence, Lee, Lonoke, St. Francis and Van 8uren. In Faulker and Jefferson where farm demonstration work has already been tried, the work will be continued through the com ing year.
 Why does not Union county take advantage of this offer also. All that is necessary is for some ener- getic citizen to push the move ment we believe and much good can be accomplished at a small ex- penditure of money.

How to Properly Cook Rick.

The Rice Association of Ameri- ca gives the directions printed be- low for the best method of cooking what is soon to be, we hope, a standard product in this country rice:
 Wash one cup of rice thorough ly. Bring to the boiling point three cups of water. Add a scant teaspoon of salt, and when the water is boiling briskly add the rice gradually. Don't stir while boiling. In about Is minutes the rice will have absorbed the water, become soft and puffed to about three times it's original size. Place cooked rice on back of stove or in oven to dry. Serve hot, every grain separate, with soup or gra- vieS.
