Exhibition In New York of Intense ln- terest Equally to Historians
 and Antiquarians.

At the exhibition of the American Historical association, in Columbia university library, New York, there ire many early manuscripts of histori- cal writers, first editions of Greek and Roman historians, medieval chronicles In manuscript and in print. autograph manuscripts of modern historians, val uable and rare works and documents relating to European and American history and many other treasures dear to the historian.
 Probably the exhibits most interest ing to the American historian are the famous Columbus letter announcing the discovery of America in 1492, the first dated edition of Americus Vespu- cius (1504). Corlear's journal of 1884, describing the Mohawk Indians, the earliest historical manuscripts in exist ence of the Dutch period of New York, the original manuscript rolls of the Concord minute men and many valua- ble items relating to the colonial and revolutionary periods.
 Guttepberg's Bible. printed on parchment, was exhibited to show the transition from the manuscript to the printed book.

Heresy Hunting a ia Taft.

Who would have dreamed that this composite Taft administration made up of one Northern Democrat, one Southern Democrat, the able leader of the Insurgent faction of Missouri Republicans, statesman from Pennsylvania famous for de- manding and allowing the right of independent judgment, and a bril- liant lawyer from New York sup posed sat heart to be mugwump, if not free-trader, ,-could have ventured forth on a heresy-hunting crusade to punish any man whose Republican orthodoxy might fail to respond to the Payne-Aldrich test In political associations, as in relig- ious bodies, the upholders of ortho- doxy have usually assailed the very men who were the saving salt of the organization because they were hon. est and did their own thinking. And who would ever have supposed that a man of Mir. Taft's religious affilia- tions would have become in politics an almost fanatical heresy-hunter :? To read Senator Beveridge out of the Republican party in Indiana would be something like trying to read Mir. Roosevelt out of the Re- publican party of the state of New York. And as for the Republican, ism of Deliver and Cummins, it is at least good deal more substantial ly supported at home in Iowa by those who vote the Republican ticket than can be said just now, when one considers the troubled aspects of Ohio politics flor that of any Re- publican leader. however orthodox, who votes in the Buckeye State. = From The Progress of the World, in the American Review of Reviews for May.

.PIIIEiIICiAOT 5 ID CAMPAIGN
 FOR CONSERVATION
The Former Chief Forester to organizs Associations in Every State Believes Present Criti-
 cal Time.

Washington, May 2.--plans are under way to carry the conservation campaign into every state. Win Clifford Pinchot as its president, the National Conservation association, which has it's headquarters here, mas begun a vigorous campaign to extend it's membership into every part of the country. The campaign just started IS intended to bring the enrolment up to 100000 members.
 Mr. Pinchot feels that it is critical time for the conservation movement and he has asked for the aid of every patriotic citizen His appeal. sent throughout the country, is bringing notable results, and those in charge here say the association will soon be a great force in national public affairs The principles on which the assoeia- ton is founded are those declared by the governors at their conference with President Roosevelt at the White house in 1908.
 The association IS doing practical work. James A. Garfield, ex-secretary of the interior. one of it's leading mem bers, has appeared before the senate committee on public lands, favoring a bill to authorize the president to with. draw lands chiefly valuable for coal water power. mineral phosphate, etc. so that such lands may be disposed of in the interest of all the people, in stead of in the interest of few.

MENA'S CHANGE.

Mena has an opportunity NOW to bring hundreds of people here for the summer months, conferring favors on those who come, and bring ing business end money and meas ure of prosperity to themselves.
 And all we have to do is to pro- vide accommodations for those who want to come, and with evidence that this will be done, the Kansas City Southern will do lots of adver- tising for Mena and will give us the low summer resort rates.
 And, in all of this, there is no sac rifice necessary. All that is asked is that those who have spare rooms, or a furnished house, or house they will furnish, will notify the secretary of the Development Club-and the rest will be taken care of.
 Every available hotel accommoda- ton is already lined up, and there are many tin es too small for what will be needed, if the advertisements are used and the rates granted.
 Let's take advantage of our fine summer climate. It's worth thou sands.

THE TRAINING OF THE CHILD
Surely the Most Important Work That Men and Women Can Be
 Called Upon to Do.

There is no mother or father among US who has not at times been appalled, by our almost utter lack of equip ment for the work of rearing children, declares a writer in the Detroit News. It is by far the most important work that any of us can do to rear the men and women who are to make, or re- make. or unmake the society of the future. Most of us are slaves of the Idea that the big job is to clothe and feed them and give them the opportu- mites the schools afford. We would save them from working with their hands, and insure them starched shirts during their lives. But all this is nothing in comparison with the real work of rearing the men and women of the future. We delegate to others their training, moral, intellectual and religious. We become mere feeders and clothers of bodies, and we do this much for animals.
 Children need companionship, and companionship means more than seg- regation in a home with blood rela- tives. The closest companionship is tometimes reserved for kindred souls of other families. Children need to De treated with consideration while they are passing through the most sensitive period of their career. You can never wound a man as you can a child. And 1t is almost impossible to influence a man as you can child. The very life stuff of the future is ia our hands. and how little we know about molding it

Advice to Grumblers.

One of the hardest knockers in any town is the merchant or busi- ness man who is continually grum- bling about dull business. No mer- chant ever helped his business one dollar by telling the passer-by that business was dull with him. The public does not like to trade with a man who is not a live, energetic business man. The merchant who talks dull business, or says that the town is going back, drives hundreds of dollars worth of business away from him. Take a look over the town and see if the most prosperous and successful business men are not the merchants who are the biggest boosters for the town. ---Jonesboro SIlp

Peanuts.

The value of peanuts as hay and food crop has never been appreciated. The peanut will grow on the largest portion of the uplands of the south. As crop for varied uses nothing ex- cels it. 1t can be made profitable when nuts are grown for the market. and it has been found to produce more and cheaper pork than anyother crop. When used as hay for horses or cattle the vines and nuts are pull ed up and cured together. In this shape they are relishsd by all kinds of stock, and as they are highly nutri- tious they can be utilized in place of more expensive grains to large ex- tent. Peanuts should not be planted until warm spring weather. Plant on well-prepared soil, in rows three feet apart in drill for the Spanish variety and a greater distance for larger verieties. The Spanish is pre- ferred for feeding purposes.
 The peanut is soil improver, and every farmer should look with more favor on it's place among the farm ps.-De Queen Bee.

The Bad Men Work Most.

Good men and bad men are found in all political parties. There are always more good men than bad ones, but the bad ones work harder to control the party than the good ones do. It is therefore necessary that the good ones become watchful and active in every election in order to keep the bad men from putting their own kind into office to rule the good ones. Waldron Sentinel.
