JUST ONE THING.

Teere is just ONE thing need ed in the new Brinkley worse than anything else now.
 That ONE thing is a united and organized effort on the part of every man, woman and child lin the city to boost Brinkley during 191O."
 Our city has undergone a most wonderful change since the cy- clone, and for the better, too; but it was all largely due to a concert of organized effort Brinkley needs and MUST show to the world that she's on the map in a more substantial and interesting way than before the cyclone.
 Down at Hope, Ark, a town with far less real advantages than has Brinkley the business men have just raised $SO, ,0O0.00 to boost their town with.
 At the most remarkable gath ering of Brinkley business men ever held in the city on new year eve year ago, the Brinkley h. dustrial League was re-organized and from the unanimity of sen timent, good feelingand enthusi- asm that marked that boosters meeting it was naturally expect ed that good would be accom- plished. And ,'good has come out of that meeting too. But the lack of finances has been a serious handicap to the work in Brinkley. The plan so unani- mously agreed upon for fnanc- ing the work, that of every busi-
 
 ness man paying in during the year, an amount equal to one fourth of his taxes, was good and if it had been carried out as planned it would now be possible for Brinkley to reap, as other progressive towns are doing and the burden would thus fall pro portionately on those who would reap the greatest reward.
 Brinkley5t the new Brinkley- must have a live and united to boost this year of 1910.

Another Candidate Wins.

Just by accident the ARGUS failed to learn of the successful race of Candidate James w. Cnight, of Pine Ridge, in Cupid's politics. Candidate Knight was married on Dec. 18th to Miss Myrtle Lynch, worthy young lady living north of Clarendon.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev. s. D. Sawyer at the home of J. B. Hogins.
 Whether Candidate Knight wins or not in to-morrow's cleo tion he is to be congratulated on his successful race in "Cupid's politics." and the ARGUS wishes him all happiness.

WORKERS ON FARMS IN
GREAT BRITAIN DECREASE
Land Goes Out of Cultivation,
While Population Doubles

f. z. Green, in an article in the Lon
don, gives some striking facts respect
ing the population and the land In
1851, with a population of $4,000, 600.
England had 1,376.051 workers on
farms; in 1901, with population nearly
double, that is. of $4,000. 900. there were
a little over half the number compared
with that of 1850 of persons working
on the land-viz. 727130
Land in Great Britain is still going
out of cultivation. Since 1898 the area
of land occupied by deer in Scotland
has increased by 100000 acres. The
total area now covers 8 900. 900 acres.
The average wheat yield is 33 bushels
to the acre, while that of America is
only IA, and yet the British produce
sufficient food for only a third of the
population. Our soil is admira ble'
says Green, but our business organi-
zation of agriculture is execrable'
Referring to some district where men
are winning an entire living by work
ing small holdings, Green points out
that at Epworth. Isle of Axholme. there
are $50 small holders cultivating hold
ings of from 10 to 90 acres, making
potatoes their chief crop. Besides po-
tatoes and other vegetables, a few
acres of wheat and barley are grown.
Rent runs to about $40 an acre. and the
profit from a small holding of 10 acres
varies from s5 to $40 a week after pay
ing for horse labor. without which, of
course, so much land could not be culti-
yated Around Boston, in the fen dis
trict of Lincolnshire, there are also
large number of small holdings of five
or six acres on this fertile land, where
many persons are making a living by
growing early potatoes There, as at
Epworth, the average holding is about
Is acres.

SMALL RANCHES PAY
ENGLISH CULTIVATORS
Three Crops of Vegetables
Grown Between Bushes

The English Garden of Eden for
small holders is in the vale of Ewes
ham, says the Westminster Gazette.
Here, where fruit and vegetables and
flowers are grown, every inch of soil is
worked and between the fruit trees
and bushes two or three crops are got
off each year. There are more than
10000 acres in the district cut up into
holdings of from one to eight acres;
IS per cent of the holders started life
as laborers, and many of these are now
making their living out of five acres of
land. though it should be remembered
that these acres are well stocked with
fruit trees representing an initial cap
ital expenditure.
In Bedfordshire, at Sandy, we come
to a group of small holdings, consist
ing of fiat arabic fields, where veg
etables alone are grown for market.
Here many men are making living on
seven or eight acres. At Minister Low
ell, in Oxfordshire, where pigs and po-
tatoes form the staple industry, 10
acres are again considered the size of
a holding necessary to make a living.
At Spalding, in Lincolnshire, there
are a number of small holders, who are
really small farmers, employing, say,
two horses, and making an entire liv-
ing out of farming 80 to 40 acres; and
here the South Lincolnshire small hold
ings association controls 1864 acres,
while the Norfolk small holdings asso-
citation control $40 acres. In a number
of other districts small holdings have
been a great success.

Schedule of Games

The Barbarian cricketers will as
semble at the club headquarters Tues
day night to select the captain and
other officers for the ensuing season
All the other clubs have held their an
nual meetings and Secretary Wilding of
the California cricket association has
notified all clubs that the annual meet
ing of the association will be held at
814 California street Monday night.
March Z.
A cricket team has recently been
formed at Stanford university and Sec
retary Wildfng is now in communica-
tion with the club in an endeayor to
have it join the ranks of the assocla-
ton. The principal thing against the
playing of the cardinal team in the as
socia tion is the fact that all the compe-
titions of the association are played on
Sundays, and it is hardly probable that
the Stanford authorities would allow an
athletic team to represent its Alma
Mater in any games played on Sundays.
The San Mateo team will again have
a good team in the field, but will miss
the services of Moran, who last year
proved himself to be one of the best
cricketers playing in local fields. Mo-
ran has gone to Canada and will not re-
turn in time to take his place with the
BurIingame set The Golden Gate club
will also have a team in the field again
this year.
The question of grounds is still wor-
rying the players of the transbay clubs
and it seems more likely than ever that
the old Alameda cricket ground has
been lost forever for cricket.

HENPECKED HUSBANDS
President Frightened to Death
When Wife Appears

There are many men in China who
are afraid of their wives. Most of them
are i'll treated by their wives at their
homes. One day several happened to
meet together. Every one had an opin-
ion They found q. temple. They said,
1--WE 10 people will burn incense today
before the fuh-yeh (joss) and declare
ourselves to be sworn brothers" They
determined to have a day of merry
feasting Every one returned to his
home and again suffered i'll treatment,
says the London Globe. After having
made all arrangements. they bought
wine and meat Just when they were
enjoying the feast at it's height, un-
thought of the 10 wives, though not by
appointment, found their way to the
temple.
Nine of the henpecked brothers all
tried to find a place of concealment,
from whence they could peep. Only
one man was left sitting there, who
made no movement, and allowed all the
women to create a. tumult, but did not
interfere with them. The women
harangued for half day, then dis
persed. Several of the men said: I'VE

and Jack Norman, the Alaskan, tottered
across the tape in fourth place.
The spectators were not entirely sat
isfied with the turn of affairs. st.
Yves was a heavy favorite against the
field and many thousands of dollars
had been wagered on him at odds of
10 to s, 10 to and to 1. When he
tossed up the sponge in the eighth.
after getting away to bad start, the
crowd Kissed it's disapproval and the
explanation which the Frenchman Of
fered was not at all satisfactory to
those who lost heavily on him.
AS for Dorando, he is through so far
as San Francisco is concerned. He ap-
peared at the grounds shortly before
the race and presented a doctors GER
tificate to the effect that he was suf-
fering from bronchitis and could not
start. This announcement was greeted
with volley of Kisses. AS late as the
noon hour even, Promoter Tim McGrath
did not know that the Italian would
refuse to compete. Whether he was
sick or stalling or jockeying remains
to be proved later on, but at all events
he gave the Marathon game a black
eye and he also spoiled himself as a
drawing card here.
A crowd of about 1000 people brayed
the rain and mud to see the race. 1t
was a one man affair from the eleventh
mile. Op TO I0dL Ili1lS fIIZSeIdlQ was
leading and running strong, with Hayes
close at his heels and Connolly and
Norman trailing behind. Fitz was
making too fast pace for himself and
his finish could plainly be seen by
everybody. Therefore, 1t was no sur
prise when Hayes came on in the
eleventh mile and took the lead.
From that time on there was nothing
to it, Hayes ran a beautiful race, never

grew stronger as he licked off lap
after lap At the finish he was just
a mile and portion of lap in front
of Connolly, his nearest opponent. The
latter was also game to the finish and
received a great greeting from the
spectators.
st. Yves got away badly and in the
fifth mile he left the track and went
into the clubhouse. He lost two laps,
or half a mile, and came back and ran
another mile like q bear. Then he re-
peated his trip to the clubhouse and
came out with another burst of speed,
but in the eighth he decided to call it
off and hastily dressed himself and
walked across the field.
st. Yves exhibited a badly swollen
jaw and explained to Tim McGrath and
the officials that the pain which was
caused by an liberated tooth was so
severe that he could not continue. In
the next breath he issued a challenge
to Hayes and generously offered to
give him mile and a half. But the
crowd only smiled at this. 1t sounded
like bunko talk.
John Marsh, the husky Canadian run
ner. was forced to quit In the fifth
mile, having strained a tendon in his
leg early in the race He was looked
upon as a possible dark horse in the
contest. Soldier King and Silent Mil
ler. the other candidates, did not start.

challenge any man in the world for a

"ST. PAUL" WAS HARDEST
WORK OF MENDEL LSSOHN
Composer Frequently Referred
to His Difficulties

For some unexplained reason none
of Mendelssohns compositions gave
his so much trouble in conception and
execution as his "St. Paul." which was
finely rendered yesterday at the pat
ronal festival of ST. Paul's cathedral,
says the Westminster Gazette. There
are frequent allusions to these diff
fcuIties in his published letters. Thus
he writes: THE first part of st. Paul
is now nearly completed, and I stand
before it Eliminating. like cow who
is afraid to go through a new door, and
I never seem to finish it, Strangely,
or perhaps not strangely, the selection
of suitable libretto gave Mendels-
sohn more difficulty than the compost
tion of the music. He was nervously
anxious lest any of the principal fea-
lures in the life, character and teach
ing of St Paul have been either omit
ted or falsified."

ST. PETERSBURG CLUB
NOW $50 YEARS OLD

Ship Owner and Merchant

The oldest club in st. Petersburg, the
Angliskie klub, founded in 1853, has
lately celebrated its one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary. This English
club which does not now number an
Englishman or any other foreigner
among it's members, was started by
Francis Gardner, says the London
Globe, merchant, manufacturer and
ship owner, a partner in the old Mus
cOvey company, whose first charter was
granted by Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land and Gar ivan the Terrible.
Throughout the ferment of few years
ago ST. Petersburg was never without
its crop of mushroom clubs. The old
