Six Things to Do for the Baby.

CD Remember that a mother must be trained to KNOW not to GUESS.
 @ Secure a reliable book upon the care and feeding of infants and begin to study the first principles of intelligent. baby culture.
 (3) Remember that every year incalculable damage is done to the eyes of babies where mothers have not thought to protect them from the glare of the sun.
 (4) Let the baby have a bed tc himself, if it. be on clothes basket or a clean, dry wash tub, or dry goods box. Have the mattress firm and soft and cover warm but light
 (5) Avoid soothing syrups anc teas" Keep in mind that so-called soothing syrups advertised as harm less all contain morphine, opium cocaine, or other harmful drugs in dangerous quantities.
 (6) Remember that the baby is the most important thing in your life and don't neglect him In any way for anything else.---Mrs F. L. Stev- ems, in Starkville Miss Progressive Farmer and Gazette.

Aldrich's Bold Hand.

In announcing that two amend ments to the Railroad bill designed to protect water shipping against cutthroat rates by the railroads must come out in the conference to which the bill has been submitted, the boss of the senate has made a particularly bold play.
 No doubt the railroads very much desire unrestricted license to make ruinous rates for certain periods and along certain lines if by making such rates they can discourage, impair or kill water competition. Whenever such rates are made, the losses in cured by the railioad are more than made up by excesses charged in territory not affected by water competition. The country is not benefited by these reductions. On the contrary, it is injured whenever water competition is attacked in this way. Also, the making of such rates is one of the worst phases of discrimination. involving excessively high rates on the other.
 Railroads should be forbidden by law to make their rates lower than the cost of service. Such regula- ton would kill most of the worst abuses of the railway business. Un- profitable rates are never made for the public welfare, but against it. And they are especiallyI against it when such rates injure water com petition as, for example, it has been injured on the Lower Mississippi.
 The mistake of the house in not concurring in the senate amend ments was apparent from the first, for it was a foregone conclusion that the conference was depended upon to kill some of the good amend ments attached to the measure. But the situation has forced flagraat- ly bold tactics, for the is no way that even a sharper ike Aldrich coull cover such stroke as that by which protection for water shipping would be knocked out of the pend ing bill Kansas City Star.

(. (. WALLER TO GO
 TO LEAYENWORTH
Arkansas Contributes to the Bankers Colony to the Big Prison Must Serve Two-Year-
 Term.

Fort Smith, June 1l,-Col. J.. K. Oglesby tonight received a telegram from the clerk of the United States Court of Appeals at St. Louis, stating that the de- cision of the United States Dis trict Court of Fort Smith in the case of c. c. Waller, president of tue defunct Southern Bank and Trust Company, had been affirm ed.
 Waller is ordered to deliver himself within 30 days to the war den of the federal prison at Leav- enworth, to which place he was sentenced by the United States Distric Court of this city to serve a term of two years.
 When Waller was in this city a few weeks ago he expressed the conviction that the Court of App peals would decidein his favor, but he arranged his business affairs so that if it was adverse to him he could obey the order.
 This i s the third conviction that has been secured by Col. Ogiesby in the prosecution of the old bank suits.

A Farm Set un on Edge.

My farm is "set up on edge" and I am glad of it. l have had people tell me how sorry they are that my fields are rough and steep, but l can smile at their sympathy. On cold nights when the peach trees are in bloom, l can sleep easily, for I know the eo)l air is rolling down, leaving the top of my hill out of the frost. n ye carried a thermometer down hill and seen the mercury fall as got into the valley air. A mans spirits may fall too, as he comes down from the hills. For you will understand that few men can see visions or look into far country, except they stand upon hill. If you argue that visions will make poor fertilizer for corn or potatoes, 1 will agree with you, but still be obstinately thankful for my hills. I know that this country needs farm visions and clear ideals even more than other farm crops.---From the June Metropolitan.

The Pistol Totiug T S,t.

News dispatches tell of the death in Oklahoma of man who was killed by the accidental discharge of pis- tol with which another man was clubbing a third. The dead man was in no way implicated in the trouble between the two combatants.
 The most pathetic feature of the tragedy is that the dead man leaves a widow and eight children. Now think of it, woman and eight help less children left to the mercy of the world because of the pistol-toter.
 There is hardly any likelihood of the man responsible being punished. He'll plead it was an accident, :" and will be free to go his way.
 Is this right ? Is 1t justice that men should be permitted to carry about arms which they whip out on the slightest provocation, and while innocent bystanders pay the cost with their lives, and widows and orphans are left helpless, the man is not punished, except perhaps by the imposition of a fine?
 Such things will happen as long as the pistol-toter is loose in the land. If the officers are actually desirous of doing their duty. of preserving the lives of citizens, they will hesi. tate not to arrest every man who makes a habit of carrying a pistol It should make not the slightest difference whether he is the leading citizen @ or just a rounder. One is equally as guilty as the the other. Of course the chance of the leading citizen using his gun is less than ir the case of the rounder, for the l. c, has more appreciation of the conse. quences. He places a high value upon human life. But accidents will happen, and a dead man cannot be brought to life in this world.
 Put the pistol toter out of busi- ness or in jail. l.---The Texarkanian.

Clifford Pinchot's Idea of Politics

The following are few epigrams from speech by Clifford Pinchot, the deposed forester. at St. Paul re. gently:
 Morality has broken into politics.
 The brand of politics served out to us by the professional politician has long been composed largely of hot meals for the interests and hot air for the people.
 Clay hardens by immobility-men's minds by standing pat.
 It is a greater thing to be good citizen than to be a good Republican or good Democrat.
 The motto in every election should be: No Watchdogs of the Interests Need Apply"
 Political platforms are not sincere statements of what the leaders of a party really believe, but rather forms of words which those leaders think they can get others to believe they believe.
 The special interests must get ont of politics or the American people will put them out of business.

times of the year burning the grass on an enclosed field may remove the ticks wherever the fire travels, but even then many places remain un- burned and the owner depends on the fire for eradication, and conse- quently fails. Whenever the grass is repeatedly burned, the roots be- come eventually destroyed, the sweeter grasses give way to the more resistant, and finally the latter per ish. Firing the leaves has not eradi- cated ticks, although followed for years" Farming with fire is pretty generally very poor farming, and unrestrained fire is always harmful. Starkville (Miss.)

To Make a Man and Woman.

"Get your boy job, now school is out and keep him at it until the next term begins. Give him to under stand that it is unmanly to depend on dad for pocket change and clothes. Impress upon him the fact that business men and corporations never select their men from loafers and ilders, and, say, let sister have a course in practical house keeping. Give her list of duties that will be helpful to her and restful to her mother, and gently but firmly, break the news to her that the ability to cook and sew is just as much an accomplishment as is the power of endurance at the piano. If Buddie isn't able to make his own living by the time he graduates the chances are against him the remainder of his life. If Sister can't work but ton-holes and make bread before she gets a diploma, its ten to one shot she will feel too smart to learn such things later on. Remember, as the twig is bent so it will grow" "

Good for Any Town.

Its a pretty good policy to help those who help the town you live in. When they help the town in which you make your living they help you. It takes broad-minded, generous, public-spirited citizenship to build a city, to induce new enterprises to To- cate in city, to bring railroads and factories into a new field. A person endowed with broad-minded, gener- eous, public-spirited impulses will give you the best kind of of busi- ness deal, because he is built that way. The prosperity of his business means the prosperity of the com munity, and consequently your bus mess; it means better and steadier employment to labor; it means bet ter education and greater opportuni- ties for your children. It is pretty good policy to boost for the booster. De Queen Bee.
