RETTER THAN NOTHING

The moonlight shone on the lonely
house on the hill, where all was
peacefully hushed in sleep.
A dark form sat in the shadow OF
the hedge. Suddenly he moved as a
soft whistle heratded someone's ar
proach.
"That you, mater" he whispered
hoarsely, as a stealthy figure ap-
preached in the darkness.
yes" came the answer.
What yer dom with that dorg?"
he muttered, as his burglar pal ap-
preached.
Well" answered his confederate,
there's nothing worth taking in the
house, and it's bad luck to come away
empty-handed, so I brought along
the watchdog, and these burglar
alarms"

iege.
 The college of agriculture of the University of Arkansas camped in BatesvilIe Monday morning for one weeks session for farmers. The sessions are being held in the public school building. More than 125 farm CTS have already registered for the weeks course, and it is eN- pected that many more will come in before the week is over.
 Much interest is being mani fested in the school and many questions are being put to the force of six instructors here from the college. Probably the lectures which have attracted most attention up to the pres ent time are those on cotton by Prof. Martin Nelson, dean of the College of Agriculture and Dl- rector of the Experiment Sta tion. Some of the best cotton growers in the state are attend ing these lectures and say that they are deriving much benefit from them
 Prof. J. C. Futrell, president of the University of Arkansas, is on the program for an address on Better Agriculture" Aside from the regular corps of pro- fessors, John H. Page, state con- missioner of agriculture, will speak Thursday and c. w. Wat son, state agent in farm demon stration work, will speak Friday
 Professor Nelson and his corps of instructors have just com- pleted very successful schools at Ashdown, Fort Smith, Conway, Little Rock, Morrilton and Cam den. The average attendance at these schools has been 206 far mers. It is expected that Bates vile will raise this average very materially.

about eight days ago happened when the

horse off it's feet, the whole outfit going
over a 40-foot embankment to the river

CAN RETARD OR
ACCELERATE CANCER
California Investigators Tell of
Experiments.

San Francisco.-T. B. Robertson and
DR.. 7. G. Burnett of the University of
California laboratory make it known
that they have found chemical sub
stances that will accelerate or retard
the growth of cancerous tumOrs.
One Of the chemical substances ex-
perimented with was lecithin. which,
they say, not only retards the spread
ing of cancer tumors to other parts Of
the body, but in some instances re-
tards the growth of the original cancer
tumOr. On the contrary, cholesterin
when likewise injected directly into
the cancer tumor causes them to grow
more quickly and spread.
This method of partial control" of
cancer having been established, it re-
mains for further experiments to de
eide if lecithin can be so used as to
check altogether the cancer growth.
Lecithin and cholesterin are both
found in the human body. Lecithin is
described chemically as a colorless.
gummy, phosphorized fat, contained in
the cell material of animal and vege-
table bodies. The California expert
mentors extracted their Iecithin from
the yolks of eggs. Cholesterin is a
crystalline compound contained in bile.
gallstones. nerve tissue, blood. egg
yolks, etc.
White rats were used in the expert
ments.

New Light on Electricity.

An American observer has called at.
tention to a curious property of an
sectric current in that when passing
around a sharp corner it apparently
projects a discharge along it's original
line of motion.
In Germany the same phenomenon
has also been observed, and now an
other authority advances the notion
that it is evidence of the existence of
true electric momentum. resembling
that Of water flowing in a pipe. Fara-
day had thought of the possibility Of
such a thing, but his experiments led
him to conclude against its existence
Clerk Maxwell afterward raised the
question again and also decided it in
the negative But it has lately been
pointed out that the phenomenon is in
accord with the most recent theory of
the atomic nature of electricity, which
had not been worked out in MaXWel's
day. At any rate, it is said, there is
here a newly acquired fact about cleo
tricity, whatever the ultimate explana-
| ton of it may be.-Chicago Record

Omaha.-Frank Worden of Colfax
Ia, will give $1,000 to any surgeon in
the United States who will break his
back with anything short of a sledge-
hammer Worden spent a week in
Omaha and was seen by number of
physicians, but when he left the city
he carried his 81 1000 with him.
Worden is an ossified man. He is
farmer. With the exception of his eyes,
tongue and arms from the elbow down
he is one huge piece of bone, without
joint or hinge of any kind. His body
Is as hard as stone and as rigid as a
piece of steel. He cannot laugh; he
cannot even smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden awoke
one morning with a stiff neck. There
was no pain, but he could not move his
head. He paid no attention to it at
first. But the affliction grew worse.
When Worden felt his jaws becoming
set he placed small wedges of wood
between his teeth. and in that position
the lower portion of his face became
rigid.
In time the wedges were removed
and the teeth were left about half an
inch apart. Through this aperture he
is fed liquid food. He cannot masd-
cate.
Gradually the hardening affected his
body, his limbs and then his feet. In
eight years Worden's feet and ankles
