Dynamite on the [ farm.

A writer in the Scientific Ameri- can points out the numerous ways in which dynamite can be used as a labor-saver. If the user doesn't understand handling dynamite it is also likely to save him the expense of a coffin. for sometimes it is hard to find enough of his remains for burial.
 However, if carefully used, dyna- mite can be of great help. For years it has been used to clear land of stumps. and-now it is wide ly employed for breaking up ground Much land fails to grow good crops on account of the hard and dense character of the subsoil. By setting half-pound sticks of dy- namte in holes four feet apart and exploding them. this hard subsoil is broken up, thus giving proper draining.
 Swamps and wet, sour land can be drained in the same way, with out the expense of ditching. With the earth broken up, the water usually drains off. Ditches are readily made by the same method. by planting sticks of the explosive some feet apart, thus saving the work of digging The bulk of the work of digging cellar can be done in same way, and even post holes can be dug.
 For planting trees holes can be blasted with dynamite so that the trees thrive much better than if the holes are dug for the explos- ion loosens up the whole soil. Some orehardists make it a prac- tice to blast their orchards when ever the trees do not look well. This not only loosens up the soil and gives the roots a better chance but it kills the grubs, beetles, etc. in the ground and lets the air into the Soil, thus preventing rot, etc.

 will have no fear but that there will oe accommodations provided te comfortably house and feed all who may come, whether veterans, sons of veterans or other visitors bent on sightseeing. It is estimated that fully 5o,OOO people will visit the city during the reunion. and the special committee, among the 48 other committees charged with the duty of providing eating and sleep ing accommodations, will be pre- pared to handle a larger number if necessary.
 The eating and lodging commit tee has provided for the purchase of 15.OOO single beds, of excellent material, a large number of wh cl will be placed in the strictly mod ern public school buildings in the city. The camp of Confederate veterans will be established in city park, and Congress has granted the army tents for the use of the veterans.
 Near the city park will be estab- lished Camp Kavanaugh, vast bachelor barracks made to accom- modate 5000. It will be equipped with shower baths and all modern conveniences and large catering establishment will operate an ex- tensive restaurant in connection.
 The hotels will accommodate B. GOO visitors, and a house to house canvass will be. made of the city and the adjoining municipalities of Argenta and Pulaski Heights, with view to ascertaining the exact number of visitors that can be en- tertained in private houses.
 In all cases a definite scale of prices for specified aeco onmoda- tiens will be entered i1to blythe household, so that there will be no chance of extortionate rates being charged. The same will be true of all restaurants and eating houses, permanent as we'll as temporary. They will be required to agree to fixed scale of prices to be promi- nently displayed in their places of business. and only such as enter into this agreement will be en- dorsed by the committee. by means of a large sign in front of the en- trance. In this respect. greater and surer safeguards against over charging have been made. than have been made at any previous reunion.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Some Reasons Why the Farmers Should Sub scribe for lis County Paper and
 Some Good Daily

The farmer should subscribe for and be a regular reader of his county newspaper and good daily newspaper, or these papers have no reasons for being in existence. They are here in response to de- mand and to meet long-felt want. The business and professional men have long since recognized the value of the county and daily papers. There is not a single reason why a merchant or a pro- fessional man should read them, that does not apply to the farmer with double force.
 The farmer who reads our coun- ty and daily papers and one or more good agricultural journals, is a live. progressive farmer, one who is doing better and better each year; who is keeping abreast of the times.
 The rural free delivery system was established in order to give the farmer the news while 1t is news, to enable him to have not only his county paper, but the daily paper as well.
 The farmer is necessarily bus mess man. If he is not, he should be. If he is not a business man he will soon cease to be anything. The business man must know the latest news of the business world. He must know the market news con- corning his products. He must know the latest that effects his in terests and the business farmer or merchant. can get this only by taking his county paper for full review of the local situation and by taking a good daily paper to get a general view of the condition of the markets to which much of his products will and must go.
 The newspapers of today devote much space to the disseminating of agricultural information and the results of recent investigations and experiments along agricultural lines. which are far in advance of bulletins and publications.
 In my opinion, the press of Ar kansas is doing more to spread the doctrine of a better agricultural condition, than is any other force in the state at the present time.
 There is every reason why the farmer should receive his weekly and daily papers and there is no reason why he should not re- ceive them, since we cannot and will not admit that the merchant and professional man should re- eeiye more and better information than the farmer.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

market for securities has again felt
the stimulus of a favorable crop out
look-a stimulus that has been made
all the more substantial by the de-
cline in the market levels OF our
grains and cotton. Prospects for the
cotton crop continue favorable. There
is no reason to believe that earlier
anticipations of a new high water
mark in point of yield will not be fully
justified. With favorable harvests
and with a disposition of producers
to accept fair prices for their prod
ucts instead of holding out for alb
normal figures, the prospects Of ex-
ports on an important scale are much
better than for several years. 'For-
eign supplies and foreign crop prom
ises are also such as to suggest a
good movement of American products
abroad unless prices are advanced to
a basis that will prohibit exports.
There Nave already been substan-
tial export engagements Of new wheat
and a significant factor in connection
with our foreign trade outlook is the
declines that have been announced in
leading descriptions Of cotton goods,
which would seem to indicate that
manufacturers are discounting the
probability of decreased cost of pro-
duction when the effect of the bump
er cotton crop becomes more eff

THE BREAD AND BUTTER ATTITUDE
ANENT THE TEACHER

with whom she deals treats her on
a strictly bread-andbutter basis?
Saint Francis, to be sure, gave
away all he possessed-even to his
clothes. Other exceptional indiyid-
uals have done the same; but the
habit has never proved even mildly
contagious, and only the very excep-
tional individual can persist in it
alone
Perhaps what We need is a big
start; AID If the half million school
teachers were just as willing to work
for $40 a month as for $50, because
they could do just as much good to
others, the Iandladies and milliners
might begin to fall in line. When
the general public, however, that en-
ploys school teachers, is thinking so
constantly and intently about bread
and butter that it refuses TO tax it
self enough to pay them good wages,
is there really much hope that the
teachers will soar above a bread-and-
butter attitude?"
There Is general movement
throughout the country for a 2
month salary for teachers which
would strike an average of $50 per
month. Assuredly there is no pro-
fession more deserving of equitable
remuneration than that of the public
school teacher.

When Pooh Bah of the Mikado told
the crime" we all laughed and thought
il was a good idea. Recently a judge
in Los Angeles, Cal, has taken it upon
himself to put this principle into prac-
tice in selecting a man who had en-
bezzled s., 900 from a theatre and spent
il in riotous living Here is what the
Judge said TO him after he had con
fessed:
you shall stay at home nights. You
shall remain within the limits of this
county. You shall not play billiards
nor pool, frequent cafes or drink in
toxicating liquors, and you shall go
Immediately to work and keep at 1t
until you have paid back every dollar
you stole. Violate these terms and you
90 to prison
Some people viii read and applaud
this sentence as just. but it isn't, be
cause it is not authorized by law. The
best thing judge can do when admin
istering justice under the law is 10
stick 10 the law. Under the law he has
the right. not of his own volition but
because OF the law to impose certain
penalties for certain misdemeanors
and crimes. In the fixing of these pen
alties he IS strictly circumscribed by
law and when he goes outside the law
he is simply doing something which
he has no right 70 do and laying him
self liable 10 the penalties Of that
very law which he is called upon TO
administer.

chIcaeoan Asked to Resign.

Springfield, Aug. Henry NJ. Rice
of Chicago, superintendent of the
Washington Street mission in this
city, was asked to tender his resigna-
ton at meeting of the board of trus-
tees. Rice left the city some time ago,
saying he intended to conduct mis-
sion in Chicago. He was asked to re-
sign on the ground that irregularities
in the handling of the funds of the in
stitution had been discovered. In an
official statement issued by the board
of trustees it is stated that the funds
were juggled, but the board is unable
to determine whether the irregulari-
ties were due to carelessness or de-
sire to defraud the institution.
