SCHOOL STATISTICS

Large Increase in Property of Spc- ciaI Districts in Arkansas Com mon Districts Show In-
 crease in Term Length.

Little Rock, Dec. t1.-(Special,) Statistics compiled by State Super intendent George B. Cook show that the average length of school term for the year ending June 30, 1913, was nine days more than for the previous year. The increase for the common school districts was eleven days, with a decrease of ap- proXimately two days for the spe- cial districts. During the year the average value of school property in the special districts increased 5000, while the increase in the common school districts was less than $50 each. There were nearly 400 more teachers employed in the special districts than during the year before, and decrease of near ly that amount in the common school districts. Yet there was one teacher for an average enrolment of thirty-nine in the common school districts, and one for every fifty enrolled in the special dis tricts. The slight decrease in the school term for the 37i special dis tricts, against the marked increase for the l,75S common districts. is fully balanced by the great increase in buildings and other school prop erty and the increased number of teachers in the special districts.

An Arkansas Corn Record.

One hundred and fifty-five bush els of corn to the acre. That is the crop raised by an Arkansas boy, and in spite of the dryness of the past cropping season.
 Edwin Moore of Hot Springs, Gar land county, was the young man who outstripped all other members of the Boys Corn Clubs and won the prize, a state scholarship of fered by the Arkansas Bankers As- sociation. He did it with no unusual equipment for farming, but by fol- lowing the instructions of agricul- tural experts in fertilizing, seed selection, planting and tilling.
 Of course, we cannot expect every farmer in the state to raise i50 bushels an acrce. But by improved cultivation methods our farmers can double the average corn yield in Arkansas, which would mean in- creasing it to something more than forty bushels an acre. And more corn would mean more cattle and hogs and greater prosperity for the whole state.-Arkansas Gazette.

MA\D0NS OIL AS FUEL.

Oil as a fuel is to be abandoned on all freight engines of the Kansas City Southern railway. The giant Mallet engines the road purchased less than year ago are being con- Verted into coal burners.
 A large and modern coal chute will shortly be erected in Mena. It will be of the latest construction and will contain all improvements for loading and unloading coal.
 The increased price of oil, it is asserted, has forced the road to re- turn to coal. It is said that only the engines of a few fast passen- gers will burn oil.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

At Newcastle, Colo, December i6, a puff of smoke shot from the mouth of a mine tunnell, the moun- tain rocked as though by an earth quake. Thirty-eight men were trapped by the explosion and died.
 Mariana Rampolla del Tindaro, Cardinal Rampolla, archbishop of St. Peters, died in Rome the night of December l6. Rampolla once was elected as Pope, but this ac- ton was reversed through the op- position of Germany.
 A man and woman threw acid in the face of George Goldman, a Kansas City jeweler, grabbed more than S2,000 worth of diamonds and made a getaway in an automobile, with no trace left behind for the police. And the auto was a Ford!

The Effective Prayer.

At a conference in Boston yes
 terday several hundred ministers united in prayer flor the unfortu- nate women and children who have unwisely invested their money in railroad stocks We trust" the petitioner continued, that God will take care that these people shall not be in absolute want
 The spirit that led the confer ence to implore divine aid for the victims of crooked finance was fine. But it might be suggested that the case presented is one that calls pre- eminently for human intervention.
 There is a tendency in human na- ture to try to shift the blame for it's shortcomings. We let a prevent able flood come and destroy scores of families, and we call it an "act of God We have the same name for a preventable epidemic of ty- phOid fever or smallpox. We tOl- crate a housing code that insures a certain number of new cases of tuberculosis and the collapse of a certain number of families every year, and we attribute the results to natural conditions.
 So when we permit certain big financiers to rob the public, and when we see men and women re- duced to poverty through the loss of their savings, we sympathize with the victims as suffering through the workings of an in scrutable Providence and invoke the blessing of God upon them.
 If the Creator were to reason with us as in the days of the prophet Isaiah, would he not say, as he did then: Bring no more vain oblations. Cease to do evil; learn to de well; seek judgment re- lieve the oppressed?"
 Can we pray for the victims of crooked dealings without going out and taking measures to prevent a repetition of the crooked dealings? Surely our prayers will be in vain unless we are doing all that is in our power to have them answered. Kansas City Star.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger Ous for Mena People to
 Ne0Iect.

The great danger of kidney trou- bles is that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health will be gradually un- dermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease often follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Help the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills which are so strongly recom- mended right here in this locality.
 John Roach, POteau, Okla, says: For seven or eight years 1 was working on the railroad, and no doubt the jarring of the engine brought on kidney trouble. I suf- fered from a dull, heavy pain in my back and soreness across my kidneys. When the kidney secre- tion became too frequent in passage I knew that my kidneys were at fault and was led to get Doans Kidney Pills. Before long I was rid of the trouble and I am now en- toying good health. Doan's Kid ney Pills deserve the entire credit for this cure"
