ONE BEST BET IN ARKANSAS
is VICTORY FOR WILSON SO
HIS SUPPORTERS DECLARE

in silence by the Clark boosters.
THE claim of the Clark men Is
absurd, said Hon. John w. Crock
EFT this morning with his tre-
mendous organization and campaign
fund, he secured only 168 delegates.
There are $50 in the state, leaving
412 uninstructed.
THE one best bet is that Govern
or Wilson will get the Arkansas del
egation and there is not the slight
est doubt in my mind about it. Wit
son supporters do not feel discour-
aged in the least Clark has done
his do and the noise and dust is set
Ting and then the Wilson strength
will blossom like rose to the COM
plete satisfaction of his friends.

Basic Stag, as you probably know, is a

Is to 20 per cent of phosphoric acid in
form differing slightly from the phos-
pilates with which you are more or less
familiar. The insoluble phosphate of
lime in the phosphate rock or bone con-
tains three parts lime with one part
of phosphoric acid; in the Stag there are
four parts of lime combined with one part
of phosphoric acid. This material is in
soluble in pure water, but is soluble in
water containing carbonic acid gas in
considerable quantities. The value of this
material as a fertilizer depends primari-
original composition. The experiments
made would indicate that this material
has a high degree of availability; about
equal to half of a soluble phosphate. On
some soils it's action is undoubtedly more
favorable than on others. 1t will give it's
best results on land containing large
quantities of organic matter and relative
ly poor in lime since the acids in the
soil tend to render more available it's
phosphoric acid, and as 1t contains a
large per cent of free lime it performs a
double function in the soil. 1t will prove
a valuable fertilizer on low swampy
lands. Georgia soils appear to be def
cient in lime, judging from the expert
ments we have made up to the present
time, and any material that will convey
this consistent to the soils in considerable
quantities will be beneficial.

LOVE OF WORK.

When President Faunce Of one
Of the leading eastern universities
asked a Boston audience Of eight
hundred how many took pleasure
in their work, only about fifty held
up their hands. He expressed sur
prise, but this may have been
merely rhetorical. Academic halls
are not nowadays so clustered but
that Re must have noted how few
men strike for a longer working
day. A great deal Of %hypOcritical
nonsense is written on the sup
posed duty of loving ones work.
Once on a time a tender hearted
young woman from the city seeing
the farm horses straininG at the
pillow, anxiously asked the farmer
if they liked it. They don't have
to like it," he grinly answered as
he set a new furlow, they just
have to do it," This defines per-
fectly the case Of man with respect
to much Of the work that has to
be done. Somebody has to do it,
but to insist on its being done
with pleasure reminds one of the
Prussian king who used to drill
his famous grenadiers with a big
rattan, saying at every blow,
Love me, confound you, | want

work that nobody shows real affec-
ton for, work that tie men who
so loudly preach love of work

Back 10 the Three Rs.

Nothing better illustrates the at.
titude Of the average citizen to-
ward the present trend Of the
public schools than the remarks
of Mayor Gaynor, of New York
in swearing in eleven new mem
berS Of the board Of education
He remarked that the present sys-
tenn of education in the schools of
New York city is a failure. Back
to the three RS" and drop the
frills and reinements might have
been the mayors text. He re-
peated his statements that the
city's schools are turning out boys
and girls who feel that they are a
little too good to do ordinary work.
Is the mayor of New York right
or wrong in his attitude toward
that part of the education which
consists for the cnild Of something
more than reading, writing and
arithmetic! The average citizen
will no doubt agree with the mayor
in his attitude. But does the
average citizen know much about
the matter! 1t is indeed easy to
find fault and criticise, and to
state ones feelings, yet, just be-
cause it is easy there may be a sus-
picion as to the adequacy of the
proposed solution of this great
problem.
1t is all very well to talk about
going back to the three RS but
that is simply out of the question.
In the first place, not even the
most extreme critics of the present
system would be likely to tolerate
for their own children any such
limitation of their studies. When
a person asserts that it is enough
for children TO study the three
RS" he usually means that it is
enough for other peoples children,
or, at least, enough for the chill
dren of the poor. Do5s any one
of these critics in practice try to
cOntine the limits of his children's
education to such a limited scope?
Is there anyone who objects to
the singing of the children in the
schools; or al to manual training?
Or to the drawing9 Or to sewing?
Probably not; and as to certain
other subjects that appear to lie
somewhat beyond the region of
the three RS" as for instance,
the observation of fruits and flo :
ers, of birds and butterflies, of the
weather, the skies, the rocks, and
even the soils such exercises are
the best of all the known ways of
teacoing the three RS"
