It's always 8 pleasure for the
 ARGUS to notice anythidg that )ortends to improvement and 3roCrass in the new Brinkley.
 IS 1 go the rounds and see the pride and interest being taken by Brinkley merchants in the ap- pearance of their show windows, stock, etc., it tells in an unmis- takable way of the live spirit that is about to take hold in our city. There are several windows and stores in Brinkley this week which would do credit to a city of ten thousand population. Among them, Henry Wolf & Co.,. Lang Goldberg & Co.,, The Spot Cash Grocery Co.,, The Cash Shoe Store and Lamm $ Co.'S.
 Henry Wolf < Co.'S. magnifi- cent show windows present an exceptional display of high class ladies furnishings, suits, suit ings, novelties, etc. in one, and fine Summer shoes in the other. The display was made by Bennie Abramsohn, whose artistic taste and talent is well shown.
 At Lang, Goldberg 6 Co.'S. a beautiful woman handsomely goWned and crowned with ore of their beautiful new Easter hats attracts the attention of every passer to their east window, while their west window is com plete in its showing for men, in- cluding furnishings, shoes, etc. These windows, like those of Wolf's are really metropolitan in their appearance.
 Across the street the Spot Cash Grocery is showing the most at- tractive window ever put on by a grocery concern in their vest window. Suspended in the win dow is 9 real airship of the Knabenshure type such as saw the real Roy knabenshure use in his flights thro' the air. The or namentations are of fine new pocket cutlery the glistening blades of which glint in the light and attracts much attention.
 At Lamm S Co.'S. special Eas- ter windows have been prepared showing in 8 most interesting manner their new Spring and Summer rigging for men. There are the Easter rabbits after the mems belts, shoes, hosiery, etc, and 8 cute illustrated rhyme be- tween the shoe and the sock. The window was done by Ben nie Aramsohn, of Wolf's.
 The new 5c, 10c and 25ct store has two pretty and interesting windows, as Is the whole store display.

 AT MRS. EMMA FLoRA's
 At this popular establishment one of the many pretty hats shown was a lovely violet hat and this one was bought by one of those indulgent husbands early in the morning. It brought $15.00. Another pretty one was a corn turban, with black willow plumes. A black and white broad sailor with wheat was at tractive. Said Miss Burns, the new milliner at Mrs. Flora S, this is one of my very prottl- est" as she showed a beautiful black net with a rainbow cut rib bon pompon, embelished with gold card and sure enough 1t was a beauty.
 Mrs. Flora's was crowded all day and she reports most satis- factory business so busy that it was next to impossible for the newspaper man to question her.
 AT LANG, GOLDBERG & Co.'S.
 The 1st Easter and Spring dis play of this elegant new store was all that it's clever proprietors could wish for. Their store, in all of it's spic and span neWness, their elegant millinery, etc, was a picture of attractive loyliness.
 Said one of the proprietors, Sam Lang: We sold hats to people we never saw or heard of before. I've got to get in an or der for more new hats tonight. Ladies came from Hunter, Wheat ley, Clarendon and Cotton Plant and they told us that our line was surprise in it's magnifi- cense. "
 Of the pretty hats shown here one of the prettiest ones was an old English turban, two toned split neapoljtan straw, in gold and black with wings and jet penant ornaments, another one was g large Anna Held Sailor black and white, with old lace belt and white plumes; a $25 hat which was one of the very first sold. Here is the Chicago flame" said the milliner, Miss French, as she pointed with pride to a red, red rose hat. And this is the automobile bonnet" as she pointed to a split panama with long scarf attached beau- ty in itself.

MISPLACED Pride.

DR.. Charles E. Woodruff, u. s. A,
has conducted some Investigations
which appear to show that the blond
type is doomed to extinction in Ameri-
ca, says the Washington Post. People
take pride in being blondes" said Doc
tor Woodruff, facetiously, at dinner
in Washington, but if my investiga-
tions are correct, then this pride is
misplaced-as misplaced as that of
Timothy Olcott. Timothy Olcott, an
urchin of wretched appearance, was
hailed before a Boston magistrate,
charged with obstructing traffic by
playing ball in fremont street. Can't
your parents dress you better than
this?" the magistrate asked, looking
with disgust at Timothy Olcott's rags.
Me parents is dead Timothy blub-
bered. But you've got some friends,
surely?' said the magistrate. I've got
a brother, the boy answered. His
brow cleared and he spoke proudly.
Where is hep He's at Harvard uni
versity,' said Timothy, throwing out
his chest. is he in a good position
there? asked the magistrate. No.

million dollars. This being true it is
certainly worth our while to give the
matter more than casual attention
The injury caused is due both to the
actual devouring of some crops and to
the choking out of others, together
with injury to machinery. A very lit
tie good might result from the gophers
mixing and loosening the soil, but this
is more than offset by the harm they
do by draining irrigating bitches, etc
The different species of pocket go
piers live almost entirely beneath the
surface of the ground, where they
frequently run their galleries to great

throwing out the dirt which they dig
loose in driving their burrows and
constructing storerooms, and once a
year when seeking mates. During the
balance of the year their life is soli-
tary, both the males and the females
leading such isolated existences. They
are not rapid multipliers, since only
one brood is reared each year. The
average number of young is two or
three, and these are generally born
in May or June.

q Great Teacher.

Professor Sumner was of a genera
tion that produced men who loved
teaching for it's own sake and who
would let nothing interfere with their
primary calling. They were men hav-
ing strong personalities, as well as
powerful minds, and their influence
was often amazing in its permanence.
Under the old system of prescribed
courses, few students escaped stimu-
lating contact with them. They
shaped character and nodded lives,
Professor Sumner at Yale maintained
his popularity to the end, his lectures
being very largely attended under the
elective system, and the students be-
ing immensely attracted by his clear
ness, masculinity of thought, force OF
expression and absolute independence
and fearlessness of conviction. To be
a truly great teacher, one must have
enthusiasm and even missionary zeal,
one might almost say; certainly, one
must intensely believe the thing
taught and impress the hearer as hav-
ing the stuff for martyrdom if need be,
in the cause of truth.-Springtield Re-

Chicago Sets Fast Pace for Postcard.
'It's hard to keep these postcards
up to date" said dealer in picture
cards depicting scenes in Chicago at
a point much frequented by out-of-
town visitors. Just look at those
views showing the stretch of skyscra-
pers along the lake front. 1t is sight
to thrill every true Chicagoan with
pride, but at the same time he knows
that the photograph is not doing JUS
tice to the greatness of his city. When
that photograph was taken two Of the
present skyscrapers were in a state
of half completion and another steel
mountain since erected wasn't to be
seen at all. These views being sent
broadcast through the country are not
keeping pace with the growth of giant
architecture. Fortunately, we've
cleared our racks of that photo show
ing cable cars running past the Ma
sonic temple"

Profit in Small Fruits.

A meeting held at the courthouse IN
Snow Hill last week under the aus
pices of the Snow Hill board Of
trade resulted in bringing out some
facts with regard to the profits of
small fruit culture which should be of
valuable suggestiveness to other sec
tions of the state. The most signifi-
cant statement made at the meeting
was that from a strawberry farmer
from over the Delaware border, who
declared that the section which he
represented was ten years ago a prac-
tically moneyless region; but this
poverty-stricken area is now support
ing six banks and real estate values
have advanced from 200 to 400 per
cent. This wonderful transformation
from adversely to prosperity has been
brought about by the strawberry

CANADA FORGING
AHEAD

Thomas c. Shotwell, one of the
greatest market reporters in America,
writes from New York, under date of
March 20th and says:
"The Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken in
hand is of Importance chiefly because
of the multitude of American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian
northwest. Most conservative esti-
mates of their number place it at
100000 for 1910. Some say as many
as 250,000 will cross. These are all
expert farmers and their places in the
United States are being filled by un-
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
In agricultural Importance and with
in few years the United States will
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production of wheat in the
United States is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem of get
ting food. Even now Canadian farm
ers are getting higher prices for their
cattle on the hoof and Canadian house
wives are paying less for meat in the
butcher shops than farmers and house
wives are receiving and paying in the
United States. The tariff on cattle
and wheat must be removed as be-
tween the two countries before long"

FRUIT GROWERS
SPRAYING HINTS
Suggestions by horticultural De-
partment of Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Sta tion of WIS.
Consin University.

To spray home orchards and get
gestions are offered by the horticul.
tural department of the agriCul
tural experiment station OF the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Fungus diseases and insects usually
work upon trees at the same time;
therefore use a spray of bordeaux mix
ture TO which some arsenical poison
has been added. Ten ounces of rlris
green, or three pounds of ar. late of
lead, added to 80 gallons of bordeaux
mixture will control the codling moth
or apple worm and apple scab
Most fruit growers will find it more
advisable to purchase arsenicals in
the prepared form than to mix them
at home, which involves much labor
and care. Bordeaux mixture, which
is used for spraying to prevent fun
gus diseases, should be prepared at
home. To get the best results
strong pressure pump with good noz-
zle that will throw a fine mist spray
should be used.
Growers should watch the develop
ment of the trees closely at blossom
ing time and make a thorough appli-
cation before the calyx of the apple
closes. The leaves and stems Of
branches not fruiting should be COW
cred with spray up to the top of the
tree. The spray should be thrown
from many directions so as to cover
both sides of the leaves thoroughly.
AS a general rule the first spraying
should be made just before the buds
open, with 200 gallons of bordeaux
mixture including poison for each 200
trees. The second application should
be made just after the blossoms fall,
with $50 gallons; the third applica-
ton ten days later; the fourth two
weeks after the third; and the fifth
three weeks after the fourth. The
last three sprayings should be made
with 400 gallons of Bordeaux mixture
and poison.

Census Questions,

The woman flushed with sudden
rage, the census man had asked her
age, and might have filled full many a
page with things she frankly uttered.
He was no person to be baked, he
guessed the figure as she talked, and
when she saw that figure chalked, she
got so mad she sputtered: "You say
I'm forty-eight, you clown, you dare to
put that libel down, why, everybody
in the town knows | am twenty-seven." 3"
And do you think" the man replied,
as her bewrinkled face he eyed, when
years have fled and you have died,
that you will be in heaven?"
