4,OOO SEE ROAD
 DEMONSTRATION BIG EVENT AT ROGERS SPLIT-LOG DRAG CONTEST AT TRACTS BENTON COUNTY
 FARMERS.

Rogers, May 19-Four thousand people witnessed the most enthusiastic demonstration ever held in Benton county on the streets of Rogers Satur- day Twenty-two split-log road drags took part. Farmers with drags came from four miles around Rogers and participated in the big contest. M. V. Deason, grocer, offered 800 pounds of Charm flour as a premium for the drag doing the best service. Seven blocks of the principal streets of the city embraced the territory in the dragging contest. Seeing that the premium offered by Deason failed to cover the case, J. A. C. Blackburn donated 600 pounds of flour, thus giv- ing a 50-pound sack to each of the contestants. Since addresses made here and at Bentonville by Prof. King six months ago, active road dragging has been inaugurated throughout the the county, and the result has proved wonderful in the making of good roads.
 The Rogers Commercial Club has stimulated the movement from time to time by offering a premium and fur nishing drags, until the farmers have become interested, and their work of dragging the roads is now going ahead as never before, each township is falling in line with the good roads movement and with the aid of the road overseers and the hearty cooper ation of County Judge Bud Smith Benton county, with it's enormous road building material, promises to outrival all of it's sister counties for good roads in the near future.

Fences and Gate Posts.

Perhaps no other feature adds more to the seclusion and dignity of house than we'll designed entrance gate posts. The meeting point of house and grounds always presents a difficult problem, even in the best sub urban architecture. Shrubbery often mitigates this unavoidable intersec- ton, but the old-fashioned white pick ct fence, full of interesting detail and backed up by hedges, solved the prob lem most satisfactorily. Yet this best solution must be used with discretion. On suburban streets broken up into many small lots there should be an agreement on the part of several neighbors to put up the same sort of fence; otherwise the different heights and shapes of the pickets would be too disturbing to add any beauty to the houses. In other words, good picket fence demands a certain amount of continuity to do 1t justice. In the gate posts, however, great va- riety could be displayed. and where there is a group of little colonial houses or even only colonial doorways the famous old gate posts of Salem offer a wealth of suggestion.-Coun- try Life in America

Economy in the Country.

"The late James Molloy,' said a music publisher, wrote humorous songs now and then, but it is as the author of Loves Old Sweet Song that he will be remembered
 Yet his humor was good, too bright, clean and pure. He liked to make fun of people who lived in the country. l once heard him say in London to Devon man:
 Why do you live in the country, anyhow?'
 So as to save money was the reply.
 Are vegetables and milk and meat cheaper?'
 They are, on the contrary, slight. ly dearer.'
 "How do you save, then%
 No "Salome' opera, $50 year. No restaurant dinners, $100 a year. No theater, $1O0 a year No taxicab fares, $50 year. No distractions of any kind, S75 a year.
 Look here,' said Molloy, could not you save money if you died?' "-- Washington Star.

Happy lovers they were, both devot cd to dancing both partakers of the joys of the annual village Cinderella She was a beautiful, graceful, skilful dancer; he far less adept, with no con- trol of his tootsies, and little idea of rhythm.

BOOKS WITH SOUNDING TITLES
In CromwelPs Time Pamphlets Were Burdened With Long and Pe-
 cuIiar Names.

"A Most Delectable, Sweet Per fumed Nosegay for Gods Saints to Smell At" is the title of a pamphlet published in 1926. Quaint titles were the rule in those times, and particu, larly in Puritan writings. Perhaps the sober faced Roundheads liked sugar coating on their spiritual fare.
 Another title of that period is "A Pair of Bellows to Blow Off the Dust Cast Upon John Fry" and another is "The Shutters of Divine Love"
 Cromwell's time was particularly famous for title pages. A book on charity is Hooks and Eyes for Be- liever's Brooches" We also find High-Heeled Shoes for Dwarfs in Ho- Illness" and Crumbs of Comfort for the Chickens of the Covenant"
 An imprisoned Quaker published "A Sigh for the Sinners of Zion Breathed Out of Hole in the Wall of an Eastern Vessel, Known Among Men by the Name of Samuel Fish"
 About the same time was also pub lished The Spiritual Mustard Pot, to Make the Soul Sneeze With Devotion" "Salvation's Vantage Ground of Louping Stand for Heavenly Believ. CTS" and "A Shot Aimed at the Devils Headquarters Through the Tube of. the Cannon of the Covenant" The author of the first work speaks di- rectly to the point.
 Then comes "A Reaping Hook, We'll Tempered, for the Stubborn Ears of the Coming Crop, or Biscuits Baked in the Oven of Charity, Carefully Conserved for the Chickens of the Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit, and the Sweet Swallows of Saliva tion,' and Seven Sobs of Sorrow full Soul for Sin, or the Seven Peni- tential Psalms of the Princely Proph- ct David Whereunto Are Also An nexed William Humuis's Handful of Honeysuckles and Divers Cody and Filthy Duties, Now Newly Augment ed Scrap Book.

of alfalfa as hay crop and as a soil builder has become well established by this time Mny farmers are growing it proftably. There are many in- stances in all parts of the state. Yet many farmers hesitate to grow alfalfa for fear that it will not grow on their farm. Do not hesitate nor delay; if you are not growing it, prepare to put in an acre or two this fall.
 T say prepare, for now is the time ito begin your preparations. Of course there is always more or less prelimi- nary talk, but let us assume that the preliminary talking has already been done Now is the time to begin actual preparations for sowing seed next fall. Set apart the land you want to SOW to alfalfa, and prepare it well. See that it is well broken. Then disc and roll and then disc again. Pulverize thor oughly and kill out every bit of vege- talon. Then plant to cowpeas. Sow thick and try to get good stand
 If weeds grow among the pea vines do not allow them to seed, but go among the pea vines and pull or cut the weeds When the peas are ready for hay, cut them and cure them. You may let a second growth come if you like, but be sure to watch the weeds and grass. Keep them cut so none will go to seed. In the fall rebreak your land and disc it. Put it in a splendid fix; make fine seed bed and pulverize and free from all weeds and grass. Get the soil in good condition and ready to plant by the mildle of October Then SOW the alfalfa.
 Be sure to take pains ip selecting the seed. Good seed is essential. Be careful where you buy and have noth- ing but the purest and best. Do not accept a mere guarantee, but investi- gate where and by whom the seed were grown. Give them good trial. If you do not get good stand do not pe ulSCouI dSeu, DuI try dSaln HeA1 year on the same land. It may take the third year sometimes to get good stand, but when you do get a good
 stand you will never regret the ef- ort."
 Do not make the mistake of trying new place every year. The first nor | the second effort will not always be
 satisfactory in stand, but if you con tinue your efforts on the same spot, you will find that eventually the soil
 will become inoculated and you will : most likely get good stand.

MASS MEETING CONDEMNS AT TACK ON CANDIDACY OF
 MIR. BRUNDIDGE.

Conforming the attack made on the candidacy of Stephen Brundidge by the Kensett Keynote, expressing con- fidence in his integrity and ability and pledging their support to him in his race for governor, citizens of Kensett, White county, in a mass meeting last week. took occasion to refute the re- port circulated over the state that the Democrats of that town were opposed to MT. Brundidge's candidacy
 The following account of the mass meeting is taken from the Searcy Citi- zen of Friday:
 A mass meeting was held at the Brock hall in Kensett Tuesday, May 13, 1913, in which large number of the citizens of the town and township participated
 Dr. J. W. Moore was unanimously elected chairman and Prof. Blanken- ship secretary. Dr. Moore stated that the object of the meeting was to cor
 
 had gone out over the state that Ken sett and Kensett township were oppos- ing the Hon. Stephen Brundidge's can didacy for governor of Arkansas.
 Speeches were made by Messrs. Watson, J. A. Bevill, J. L. Williams, Prof. Blankenship, Drs. Moore and IT iofa ing the candidacy of our talented and honored statesman, s. Brundidge. A motion was unanimously adopted whereby each person present should consider himself committee of one to constantly urge the claims of Judge Brundidge and endeavor to roll up the greatest majority for him ever before recorded for any candidate in White county. Dr. Harrison suggested the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted. MT. Roland was appointed a committee of one to circu- late the resolutions for further en- dorsement by the citizen, and the sec retary ordered to send copy to MT. Brundidge:
 "Be it Resolved, That
 '1. We deplore the fact that the Keynote, a paper published in our town, should make an unwarranted at tack on the Hon. S. Brundidge, White county's candidate for governor. That said paper does not reflect the senti- ment of this community or of White county.
 "2. That Mir. Brundidge has al- ways carried Kensett township, as well as the town of Kensett, and will carry both by large majority in his present race for governor.
 "3. That this mass meeting ex- presses unfailing confidence in MT. Brundidge as man, and wisdom as a statesman, and heartily recommend him to the voters of the state as man of unblemished private character and one whose official record as prose cutting attorney and congressman IS absolutely without a stain.
 A. That we pledge our unqualllleo support to him in the present contest and present him to the Democracy of the state of Arkansas as one who, when elected governor, will go into office absolutely unpledged to any fac ton or interests save that of rigid enforcement of the law and clean and honest administration of the af- fairs of the state.

a perfect throw to the plate. AS soon
as the ball flew into Carey's mitts
Zim dashed for home. Carey's peg
to Coleman was high and the Bronx
beauty slid in safely.
The four top men in the Cub bat
ting order produced again yesterday,
compiling seven hits, Leach getting
one and EVers, Schultz and Zim two
each. Cheney and Safer got the other
two safeties registered during the
afternoon. This consecutive hitting
is encouraging. In the past the lead
off men could not get going together.
When one was right the others were
popping weak flies. In the two games
against the Pirates the mauling of
the first quartet has resembled the
dizzy rallies pulled by the Athletics.
. Vic SAFER is being overlooked by
the fans because he is so good. That
may sound peculiar, but it is true.
Hardly a game passes but Vic makes
classy stop and the fans have
grown to expect his circus stunts as
matter of course. Saier's strong
point is digging low throws out of
the dirt and he saves many errors
by ability in this. Notice how AL Bird
well cuts loose with a throw when
in an awkward position. Bird is con-
fident that Vic will do his duty at the
terminal end of the throw and this
faith in responsible for cutting off
many hits. Safer is a steady PLAYER
and a good one. In this respect he
resembles Jack Barry of the Mack
men, who is seldom mentioned as a
star of the Athletic tnfeId, playing
with such men as Collins, Baker and
McInniss, but Barry is one of the best
shOrtstOps in the league. He makes
the hard chances look easy because
of his great ability. It is the same in
Saier's case.

Sox over Detroit was typical of the
old Fielder Jones machine, which
won games without hitting. Calls
crew got five hits to nine for the
Tigers, but the Hose blows were
punched with Tiger errors, and the
Chicagoans were alive on the bases.
In one inning Morris Rath swiped
second and third, getting himself in
position to score on a soak by Harry
Lord.
The same Lord-Chase combina-
ton which has done such execution
lately was responsible for yesterdays
win. Harry poled two doubles, one
being on the tail-end of a rally, and
the second time heading the uprising
that scored the winning run. Chase
mauled a single and double.
Bean was once more in the lime
light with single which played a
large part in the first SOX rally. In
the field he handled everything that
came his way, and shone at returns
ing hits from the center patch.
Eddie Cicotte would have gone the
entire route against the Tigers, but
gave way to Scott when Easterly
acted as pinch hitter in the seventh
inning. The two Tiger runs were
scored off Scott.
If Ellis Johnson, the Racine pitcher
who has joined the SOX. is up to the
form he showed in the closing stages
of last season, Callahan will have
another good pitcher added to his
string. Sickness prevented the Wis
consin lad making the spring trip to
the coast, but he has now recovered,
and believes he is as strong as ever.
Johnson made his reputation in one
game last year when he pitched
against Walter of the same name
