file schools and general farming will be included in the proposed schools and the textile schools will finally develop into cotton factories.
 President Cole said that any county could well afford to put up q good bonus for one of the agricuI- tural schools. He predicted a thou sand students in any one ol the colleges and made the assertion that the Farmers Union would see to il that the agricultural schools are per manent fixtures, should they become financially embarrassed. He urged the business men and farmers of thi, county to put in a large bid. one that would secure the college for this county. He said that Governor Don aghey had told him that at least 2o0 acres of land would be required as a Site for each school. bonus of slO0,O00 would be small, said the speaker, considering the advantages offered by the establishment of d college of this kind within the boun- dries of this county.
 Superintendent Cook. w.o rpca1r ,} returned from an educational tour oi several weeks in the North and East, told Of what was being accomplished by agricultural schools and nniyer sltles III other states. especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He review ed the systems adopted and in us,. in various states and of the great financial results that are being ob- talned by farmers through successful experiments that originate in the asrlcultural schools. He believed an agricultural school in this county would be the best asset IeTerso, county could add to the economic lite at this time, and that it would be the best investment the business men and farmers could make.
 Mr' Mohley told of the great work being done by the Boys Corn Club, ID Arkansas and of the plans of the Farmers Union for the future to en- courage the youthful members. It is the intention of the executive com mlttee Of the Farmers Union to make canvass of the state and enlist memberships to the clubs. which will naturally result in large patronage to the agricultural schools. Some startling records were cited as an evidence of what boys were doing on the farms in this state. Mr. Mob ley declared that the Farmers J-r- ion was anxious to establish an experimental station at evefy ,,.i4h school in the state and that if the proper encouragem was given here one would be established in Pine Hluf.

 Crowd Last Night
PLAN OF SALVATION
Declares That Gods Plan oi Sal,a. ton Is Through Faith And
 Repentance.

\ large congregation, consdern. !. the indictment weather, greeted Dr Nowiin at the First Baptist church, last night.
 His subiect was The Gospel Place Of Salvation.
 l One Of our strongest phenomena in the world is the proneness of man to depart from God S way and try to devise ways and means 0t his own, said the speaker.
 l Even the plan of Salvation has suffered in this manner. Men are trying to take a short cut. If man , had arranged the plan of Salvation ] they would have been of many forms and ceremonies. God s way is very simple. men thing God should allow them to do great things and then ] they would get credit for it. The plan of Salvation is either too simple to be true. or they can not understand it. If men are really lost and know they are lost and want to be saved and done know just how to be saved, let them find Bible character who was lost and who found Salvation. and then do just what he did. For such an instance we have the Phllippian laller Note the penitent inquirer and his inquiry, and the inspired in structor and his answer. In the r1ailer we note his realization of his lost condition and desire on his part for Salvation. His lack of in- formation and his willingness 10 re- celve this information from any source whatever; and his readiness to do what he was told.
 The first step towards his salya- ton was the realization of his lost condition. No man can come tod for salvation who does not rea,- iN desire salvation and certai, amount of information is necessary il, 1 coming to God. Men do not have

BLENDING OF FOOD IN HASH.
Praiseworthy Custom Was Known TO
the Ancient Greeks.

The old Greek word for hash was
made up Of ITO letters and 78 sylla.
bles. 1t begins this way-lepadoche.
machoselachogaleo and so on to the
end of the ITO letters. Aristophanes
used the whole word in one of his
plays. 1t Is supposed to take in all
the ingredients Of this vague and com.
prehensive Wand, which we, in this
hurry-skurry, time-saving age call
hash.
But back of this pathological wonder
there was a habit or creed that gave
rise to it, which, If one faithfully
searches out, he will find that the idea
of blending a variety of articles for
the production of a new flavor or taste
was in vogue away back in the days
Of Grecian art, Of which hash was n
of its fairest manifestations.
1t was under the sway of this rem.
~iniscence that q classical friend sug.
gested that the lepadochemach, ETC..
idea be utilized in the construction OF
q pot-pie, and instead Of a chicken. or

pigeon, or rabbit pot-pie, that there
be a gentle union of chicken, veal.
mutton, pork, game Of some kind, all
constituting a blend that provides a
composite Of fiayors which is a de-
light to the soul.
This blend idea reached its greatest
influence in the Periclean age Of hash.
when the Greek alphabet was over
worked to get a name commensurate
with the glory Of the Wand; and now
in the revival Of the Greek art let us
be thankful that hash is to be restored
to it, classic yigor, and the principle
of its excellence applied In the max
ing OF the noble p~ot-pie.-Ohio State

about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my

that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. / finally
