worse than if you didn't SOW cow peas. The cowpeas will add nitro gen to the soil but they will exhaust it in potash, and phosphorus potash is the cowpeas' chief element of plain food, and if you grow cowpeas on your land every year you will either have to turn the vines under green or put the potash on your land in a commercial form.

year buy all their.supplies in Chicago, Buffalo and New York, there would be "For Sale" sings on the city hall, Young's, the public library and the old North church. The same princi- pie applies to all communities. Patronage of home merchants IS the life of a city. These mail order houses by offering attractive CD premiums with indifferent goods, have drawn from us large amounts of money which, if spent at home, would have helped to pay for schools, paving, lighting and general civic improvement. Outside business houses do not pay any part of city taxes.
 But, Business is Business, I" some say. yas, but business is more than that, it is reciprocity, and it should be apparent to everyone that business dealings with those who are working for the same local interest as ourselves will be far more productive of good. than trading with people who are far away, who buy nothing from us and whose only interest in our community is the amount of money they get out of it.
 Do you recall when times have been hard that these mail order houses ever extended you credit to help you over the hard places? Will they? Not in a thousand years-it's s money down, ar no goods. The local merchants are the enes to whom we must turn then for assistance, but how can we do so with good grace or reason unless we support them in prosperous times?
 They are alert, intelligent and progressive, and, if given the oppor- tunity, will sell better goods, at the same or lower prices, than the mail order houses can or will and deliver them at once-no express charges, no long delays, no disappointments.
 Let us cease then, enriching few people in whom we have no sort of interest. at the cost of lasting injury to our own community. Try sup porting our own home business for a time.
 Surely loyalty in this instance means spend your money at home."

Loyalty That Pays.

The following article, reprinted from paper printed in one of the New England states, is submitted to the thoughtful consideration of the readers of The Star.
 This is time for us to be loyal to ourselves by being loyal to our city and county:
 No word appeals more strongly to the average person than loyalty We all love to be spoken of as loyal to family, friends, country and to our ideals. We should also include our home city.
 There is no doubt of our sincerity and we would feel very much offend ed were it questioned, but is this loyalty always of the right sort: is 1t intelligent and active or is it some times a sentimental and pleasing fancy with which we delude our felves?
 The happiness of the people of a city depends largely on the prosperi- ty of the community as whole, and this prosperity depends in part upon the amount of money circulating there. The more money the people send away for things they can buy from theirown merchants, the poor CT the community will become and. conversely the more they spend at home, the more the place will thrive.
 Do those who patronize distant mail order houses ever think of the harm done? If all the good people in Boston, forinstance, should ignore the local merchants and for one

4 per cent, and estimating the bal ance at the very lowest, to be S5OO,- 900. it would mean a source of reye- nue to Arkansas of $20,OO0 per an- mum.
 This amount will pay the salaries of every state official and leave some.
 So it will operate two ways; it will serve to put.more monay in cir culation in Arkansas, and at the same time give the State an addi- tional revenue that it would not otherwise get.
 The money could be divided out in the different congressional dis tricts of the state, the strongest banks being selected as Repositories and a safe and sure income be es- tablished, that would help all and not impoverish any citizens.
 The idea of keeping the money in the vaults on the part of the state is the same idea that makes Reuben" plant his sheckles in sock, or it might be likened to the man who hid his talents in a napkin.
 Let the money be put into circula- ton where the citizens can get the advantage of it, find the state get the revenue. Arkansas Democrat.

 Notes and Suggestions.
 The preceding is certainly not an ideal course for primary divisions, but purely suggestive. We say sug- gestive since the teacher must not be robbed of his originality and individu- ality.
 The Ideal school is a place where every pupil can have an opportunity to be trained to make the most of him. self. It shouldbe remarked that the pupil must be able to make the most of himself in all that makes a man. Pu- pills differ in age, home influence, he reditary powers. Advancement in all that makes a man will not be the same in all cases. Pupils differ in mental, moral and physical power.
 Hence we believe a course should present the essentials of the several branches leaving the details to the teacher s judgment and wise discre- tion.

State Depositories.

There is movement on foot tc create State Repositories by an act of the next legislature, and instead of keeping money in the vaults of the Arkansas treasury, put it out at interest.
 The idea is practical, it is progres. sive, it is business-like.
 While the amount of money sup posed to be in the treasury of the state as considerably over-estimated by people who read the reports, and there is never at any time all the money that looks like, there is a workable balance that should yield returns.
 For instance some of the cash used in the balance is school bonds, end such other things as could not be called available cash.
 But it is stated by those who have figured on the cash balance in the State treasury, that it reaches an average of from $50O,OOo to $70O,- GOO.
 That much money put in circula- tion in the various sections of the state will do some go by way of making money easier to obtain by the men who would borrow.
 At the rate of 5 per cent, or even
