Little Rock, Ark, Sept 25.- George B. Cook Superintendent Of Public Instruction, is today in Memphis confering with Wycliffe Rose, Secretary of the Southern Educa ational Board, relative to the tentative dc nation of S1O,O0O in the final distribution of the Pea cody fund to the State Normal.

To Establish Flour Mill

Russellville, Sept. 25. Efforts are being made by farmers resid- ing north of this city to establish flour mill on one of the streams of the county. operating it with water and grinding the wheat in the old fashioned way. As this mill will give the farmer the flour from his own wheat and consequently allow him to raise the wheat for the kind of flour he wants, this is expected to encour- age the growth of wheat in this section of the state.

AUTUMN LEAVES.
The Change Of Color From Green to
Red or Yellow or Brown,

The Change Of Color From Green to
Red or yellow or Brown.
Despite the commences of autumn
colorings, we do not yet know the full
meaning of autumn colors Of leaves.
We do know that late in the summer
the tree is preparing for the leaf fall
by drawing the valuable substances of
the leaf into the stem. 1t also cease
to make c%hlorophyl (the green sub
stance Of the leaf which aids in the
making Of the plants food, and this
gradually fades away in the bright
light. BY fading it exposes to view
any other colors in the leaf, and ali
leaves contain yellow coloring matters
called xanthophyl, whose function is
not known, and it is these which give
the yellow color to autumn leaves.
The red is formed differently. In
bright light and cool temperature a
new substance, called erythrophyl, is
made from sugar and tannin in the leaf
cells, and that has a red color. A
brown substance is also sometimes
formed, and. besides, the skeleton of
the leaf itself turns brown as the leaf
dies. It is the various combinations of
these substances that give the many
shades of autumn colors. Some stu
dents think these colors are a useful
protection to the living p%rotoplasm Qife
materiaD of the leaf after the green
disappears, protecting it against the
full blaze of light, which Is injurious,
but others think the colors have no use
at all, but are simply the incidental
chemical result of the processes in the
ripening and dying leaf.
AS yet the weight of evidence GEMS
to favor the latter view, but the mat
ter Is still unsettled. 1t Ia generally
thought that frost has something to do
with it. but it has not, except to hasten
1t. Anything which affects the vitality
Of the leaf tends to hasten it, for which
eason an injured branch of a maple
will often show red autumn color even
in summer.
The colors are brightest where the
leaves receive the most brilliant sun
shine.-Professor ". F. Ganong in st.
Nicholas.
