and the religious reformer. Every
allusion Milton makes to the heather
mythologies brings before the eyes
of the student some ancient myth or
fable, its own innate charm enhanc-
ed by the beauties of Miltonic gen.

But Lycidas has a sterner side, one
that can appeal only to those pro-
founder minds that are interested in
the mighty questions of church and
state. 1t pronounces violent inVec-
tives against the corruptions of the
church, and foretells with prophetic
inspiration the final ruin of the Eng

filled with the description of human

persuasiveness to the joyful and the

the student, the philosopher and the
man of deep religious convictions,
the lover of nature and the admirer
of virtue, the classical student and
the religious reformer. Surely no

 AS A SCIENCE

"rhe farmers Of Arkansas are ca pab'e of taking care of themselves, and they are beginning to place farm ing in the position it should occupy, :, said the newly elected Farmers Un- .on president, II. s. Mobley. "Three- fourthS of the people of Arkansas are engaged in farming, and it is neces- sary that the profession be made as efficient as possible. To attain this, the farmers must educate both them selves and their children for scientific farm work. This includes proper crop diversilicatlon and most important of all, the disposition of the farm prod ucts, which feature has been sadly neglected in the past. The policy ad- voeated by the Farmers Union is that the farmer keep himself inform od on aI methods of advancement, and thus aid in the education of the masses making them better producers ..nd citizens.
 To he'ome more eilieient and saientiiia, the farmers improve their stock and conserve the fertility of the soil instead of destroying it. This re- quires that the farmer make a study of these matters. We must not only support our own organization, but must cooperate with all subsidiary organizations, such as the county fairs and livestock shows. The cam paign of education to be conducted by the union must have the hearty sup port of every member, and it will re- suit in larger membership and a more effective organization We must say, Down with the knocker and ev- erybody be a live booster, and farm ing will become the scientific and sys- ,ematic profession that is attractive and profitable :"

GOOD FOR IARG- EST CROP FOR MANY YEARS
 IN FAULKNER COUNTY.

Good rains have fallen practically all over Faulkner county during the last 24 hours, doing inealcuable good to growing crops, especially corn, which had begun to need moisture badly According to the local weath- cr Lure@u, the precipitation during the past 2l nouns in this city was 20 inches Good rains have been report ed as far east as Nilonia, as far north as Grecnbrier and as far south an Mayhower.
 It ia claimed by people who have travelled over the county this summer that Faulkner county has the best prospects for bountiful crops than it has had for many years. Dr. ]. W. Teas of this city returned from q trip to Martinville a few days ago, and says the farms along the route trav- eled by him were in better condition than he had ever seen them. He said that in addition to the good season, the people in that part of the county had been working under the govern ment demonstration plan and the pros pects were good for the largest crop ever made in that section of the coun- ty. This is the condition of the great CT part of Faulkner county, according to S. R. Ethr;dge of this city. Mir, Ethridge says Faulkner county will 1cap the biggest crop in 20 years, if the present conditions continue.
