 Fayettevlile.-Dr. C. H. Brough, pro lessor of economics and sociology in the University of Arkansas, who has been prominently mentioned as a can dldate Tor governor, subject to the ac- tlon Of the Democratic party, author izes the following statement:
 Since the election of Governor Rob lnson to the United States Senate, have received hundreds of personal ietters and telegrams urging me to enter are race for governor, these greatly appreciated solicitations came rom every section of the state and Will always be treasured by me as a priceless legacy.
 However, feel that circumstances are such and the time allotted for the primary campaign is so short that l would not have an opportunity of discussing such fundamental issues as the system of township assessment and the equalization of the burdens Of taxation before the electorate of the entire state. Furthermore, if had entered the race for governor a sense of propriety would have dictated that l resign my chair in the univer sity, so as to not involve this splen. did institution of learning in politics in any way. I believe that the univer sity has a manifest destiny and great work before it, and perhaps in an humble way I can best serve my state by serving the university. For these reasons, with a heart full of gratitude and undying loyalty to my friends, l decline to enter the race for the high office of governor"

Meat Bearing Tree.

In Mexico grows a tree called the Avocado, whose pear-shaped fruit Is reputed to be composed of the sub stances which are to be found In meat It contains about twenty per cent o: fat and many other ingredients of great food value, and one good sized meat" pear Is quite sufficient to make a meal for the average man.
 The reason why the fruit is so little know at present is because 1t Is grown nowhere on a large scale, what few trees there are grown round the huts of the natives, where they flour ieh with little care and afford easy meals for the indolent owners.
 Cultivated on extensive lines 1t might have an important bearing on that serious subject. the high cost of living.

 Tea is just as harmful, because 1t contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.
 At other times I had severe head. aches; stomach finally became affect ed and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. c. T.

 Another lady who had been trou- oled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing cof. fee and using Postum. Still another friend told me that Postum was a Godsend, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum.
 So many such cases came to my notice that l concluded coffee was the cause Of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trou. Die have disappeared. I am we'll and happy"

WHY NOT MORE CLOVER SEED?

That the upper Wisconsin counties
are specially suited to the production
of clover seed and that it is a val
liable crop, has thoroughly been de-
termined. The question, then, is why
do not the farmers there raise more
of this seed? 1t would appear that
an extra crop that brings from
$40 as a minimum and from that to
$50 or more ought to receive large
attention-and it should.
But the farmers in the upper coun-
ties are largely beginners. They are
bent upon adding to their dairy herds
and the fall growth of clover is har-
vested in milk with splendid returns.
1t is true that a larger return would
come from a more general production
of clover seed, but the COWS need
pasturage. The time is near at hand
when clover seed will be produced
more generally in the upper country,
and it is a good field for those who
do not center their thoughts on the
dairy-but the fact is that at this
time COWS are the central thought.
