 It was decided to make the mem bership fee 50 cents per year for each member and the majority of those present paid that night.
 The report of the Secretary showed that the cash on hand in- cluding the dues paid that night to be $54.45, which should easily reach $1OOOO, if every parent and others interested in the better ment of the school will give ir their membership and pay the SC cent fee.
 Prof. Herrink was called upon to state what was needed most at the school and named a number of items such as maps, globes, diction- aries. a library ard especially a drinking fountain.
 The committee on interior were instructed to at once purchase the needed things in their line and the exterior committee will look after the drinking fountain and having the gates repaired and the lattice work around the basement put back in place.
 As soon as possible arrange ments will be made for installing . reference library which will be z great help to the pupils, and the matter of bling the floors to keeE down the dust and many other things that will go to the betterine of conditions in and out of the school room will be taken up.
 The opportunity for good worl offered by this association is nex to the church and every patriotic citizen of Huttig, especially every parent, should be a member of tht organization and a live wire in it By broadening the scope of tht school work and making the room! attractive we are ding the coming generation to better fit themselve' for the battle before them and W, will have their heartfelt gratitud, in years to come which should be 1; reward for labor to be cherished by all.
 The regular meetings of the as sociation will be held at the Unior church the first Tuesday night 0 each month and we hope to have 1; crowded house on Tuesday night November 4.
 Shortage of Dairy Cows.

cial reason for dieussing the COW right now. It will soon be time for the tick quarantine to be raised until next Spring and then cattle buyers will be going through the country and buying up the COWS to ship out to the cattle raisers in the north and west. Remember that the old family COW is not only the dependence for milk and butter. but she is the mother of the calves. and with the COWS we cannot have cattle in the future as we have in the past.
 There are not more than one third as many COWS in circulation in Arkansas now as there were five years ago; all because shreWd cat tie men of the north and west have been far-seeing enough to learn that the cattle were decreasing and the price increasing. Hundreds of our farmers have sold off their cat tie including their COWS. because they were offered a good price. Now when everybody knows the high price of cattle on the market many of our farmers who would raise cattle are going to find the supply of COWS so small that they cannot get started. So look out for the COWS before it is too late. If the cattle raisers of other states can come Into our midst, buy our COWS, pay the top prices for them. pay the local buyer a profit, pay for driving them to town. then the freight on them 500 miles. and take them to a country where they have to be kept in barnes and pas lures and fed six months or more in the year, and use them for breeding purposes and make money out of the transaction, our own people can certainly well afford to keep them at home, and make more money by refusing to sell.
 was on the train between New York and Chicago one day last week, and met farmer who lived 400 mics northwest of Chicago He told me he was coming to North Arkansas in a month or two to buy a few carloads of hogs to ship to his farm and feed from his corn crop. and when fat to ship back to the Chicago market l told hun hoped our people would know enough to keep their hogs. Too often they do not however, and it may be that this Iowa farmer will buy enough hogs m Arkansas to eat his crop of corn, and after hav- ing been shipped over a thousand miles and fattened, and then back to Chicago and butchered, and after the lard and fat has been pressed 
 out by hydraulic pressure. the same hogs may be shipped back into Arkansas to be sod to the farmer who raised them and who in the meantime has mortgaged his labor and is struggling to make enough cotton to pay for it in the Fall. Let us hope that nothing like this will be true, but it is not extravagant to say 1t will occur if the people do not stop selling off so closely their cattle and hogs and go to making their meat at home.
 With the present prices of meat and butter and milk there is nothing raised on the farm that the farmer can afford to give in exchange for them without suffering a loss in the exchange when we calculate the the cost of production. Think of these things.
 By all means keep the COWS, the calves and the hogs. You can better afford to keep them than the fellow from the north can afford to buy You certainly have got the cost of transportation in your favor, so keep them.

RINGWORM COVERED ARMS

2073 Ogden St, Denver. Colo.-
"About four years ago was bothered
dreadfully with ringworm around my
mouth. did not pay much attention
to it at first. although 1t looked bad.
1t spread rapidly and itched and
burned dreadfully The first thing
knew my arms from the elbows down
were covered with ringworm. and my
face seemed worse. ! got some medi-
cine which relieved the itching and
sort OF dried up the ringworm. but 1t
kept coming back. | decided to let
the medicine go, and | scratched them
until they were sore. At that time
there must have been four on my face.
One extended from the corner OF ny
mouth under my chin. That was the
largest one. but the smaller ones look
ed as bad for they were kept fiery red
from my scratching. Each OF these
red blotches was raised about one six
teenth of an inch. and the centers
we're covered with pieces OF dried skin
giving them a very rough appearance.
"One day | accidentally got hold o.
small piece of Cuticura Soap. and
In n few days noticed how much
good 1t was doing me. l kept on u.s.
Ing the Soap. and spoke OF It to
friend of mine. She told me Of the
Cuticura Ointment. and by using both.
the ringworm disappeared in a short
time" (Signed) Miss Helen Magee.

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand. Something Like "Punctr
Ing Bag" Did the Business
Quite Simply.

Noah Spears. Bay Shore farmer.
has discovered way to break horse
OF kicking. according to Milford let
ter to the Wilmington tDel) News.
Spears tells the following story: Il
filled stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended it from the ceiling In the
rear of the stall by rope in such
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon it.
This large pendulum. needing only
strong power to start 1t. would swing
with clocklike precision as soon IFS
the horse began to play its acrobatic
stunts upon It. At the first kick the
bag swung away. only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than 1t had sent. This unexpect-
ed return on the part of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder. but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal with interest. Finally the
horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless. stopped kicking.
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week. but
no more use for it was seen"

RAISE GOOD POTATOES
Best Results Obtained by PIGW-

Not Advisable to Plant Seed More
Than Four Inches Deep in Rows
Three Feet Apart-Irrigation
10 Not Necessary.

II you are In n potato belt. you can
raise potatoes very easily without ir-
rigation. but II the soil Is not right. 1t
is a very difficult matter to raise po-
tatoes either with or without irriga-
tion, says the Ranch and Range. Ex.
actly what constitutes potato soil
no one knows; but we are finding out
several elements without which we
cannot raise them. the chief of these
being potash and lime,
Altitude seems to make little diff
ference TO potatoes; they grow equally
well on the top of mountain or down
at sea level, provided the season Is
long enough.
There are certain rays of the sun
which are Injurious to potato foliage.
and also to bean foliage. and in dry.
clear years. they produce blight. or
so injure the stems and leaves that
the bacili find lodgment and cause
what we term blight. This disease Is
not noticed much in the cloudy at
mosphere OF the east. but Is common
in the west on account of the alti-
tude and thin atmosphere. For this

best for potatoes and the less wind
the better. The best potatoes are OBJ
tanned by plowing deep in the fall and
then by working land over again in
the spring before planting.
1t is impossible to give the best
dates of planting. because certain va
ricties do better in certain localities.
and each variety has its own time for
planting.
In Nebraska Kansas and Dakota the
Rural New Yorker Is thought highly
Of The early Rose. and the early Ohio
we find almost everywhere; In New
Mexico the Peachblow. and In some
parts of Colorado the early six weeks
are recommended. Although pota-
toes need deep plowing. it is not ad.
visable to plant them more than four
inches deep. The rows can be three
feet apart and the hills in the row
not less than two feet. II the field Is
narrowed rs soon as the sprouts ap-
pear and even should they be covered.
II will do more good than harm. then
when the sprouts come through again
they can be narrowed some more; aft
er this they should be cultivated every
time crust forms. and finally hilled

week after they commence to bloom.
some say a little later. some little
earlier; but 1t seems to depend some
what on the habit OF the potato In
question, the idea being to hill them
up when the tuber Is starting to make
quick growth. In dry years the
vines should be thinned by hand down
to one sprout to the hill. thus we OBJ
tain, maybe less potatoes. but OF
more marketable size.
Good sized potatoes should be cut
for seed. One good eye to each hill
is sufficient.
Ten or 12-inch fall plowing will
yield sometimes 200 bushels to the
acre.
The highest we can expect from six
to seven inch work Is about 100 bush
els, but in dry years the shallow plow'
ing will give next to nothing. while
the deep plowing will do nearly az
we'll as ever.

Washington. The administration
currency. bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Owen and in the
House by Representative Glass. The
House Immediately referred the meas
ure to the banking and currency com
mittee.
Several changes have been made in
the bill as the result of the numerous
conferences in which President Will
son, Democrats of the House and SEN
ate committees, Treasury department
officials and committees of bankers
took part following the publication Of
the proposed measure several days
ago, but despite appeals that the fed
eral reserve board to control the pro-
posed new currency system be in
creased. and that bankers be given
representation. no change in this pro-
vision was made. The board will con-
sist of seven men to be appointed by
the President.
In the Senate. Senator Cummins
contemplated proposing an amend
ment which would make the board an
elective body.
Reinserted in the bill was the origi-
nal proposition for retiring the pres
ent bank notes, within twenty years
and the substitution OF additional fed
| eral reserve notes for them. This
eliminates the proposed limit of $780,
100000 in reserve notes contained in
the bill as originally made public. In
replacing the bank notes the govern
ment two per cent bonds, upon which
| they are now issued. would be re-
funded by three per cent bonds with
out the circulation privilege.
Chairman Glass made preparations
for the speedy consideration of the
| bill by the House committee. He OBJ
| tained the passage of two resolutions
to facilitate the work. One provided
| for the printing and distribution of
25.00O copies of the new bill The
other, which was adopted after par
tisan discussion, provided $1,000 for
the payment of experts to be employed
by the committee.

The true story OF the Sphinx, which
is very simple, remains, therefore. un-
changed. The great limestone block
out of which the colossal figure is
hewn forms the eastern termination
Of the limestone platform on which
the pyramids are built No doubt In
the remote prehistoric times the pro.
jecting rock had become weathered
into the rude outline Of the human
head and face. There are many SINH
lar wind worn rocks to be seen on the
banks Of the Nile. and there is usually
superstitious sanctity attributed to
them by Arabs, no doubt inherited
from the old Egyptians.
In early historic times, certainly be-
fore the age of the pyramid builders.
some 1000 years before our era, the
figure was improved by human hands,
the headdress and beard being carved,
while in later ages the whole was
painted red. which gives 1t the ap-
pearance of sandstone.
Portions of the serpent which
adorned the forehead OF the Sphinx
and Of the beard are to be seen in
the British museum. The nature of
the stone and painting are clearly to
be seen.

arch who built or restored the small
temple between the fore paws. In the
large tablet at the end Of the temple
Thothmes tells an interesting story.
The king had been hunting in the dis.
trict and, being tired at MONDAY, lay
down to rest beneath the shadow of
the Sphinx.
During his siesta. the god Ra Heru
Khuti (Harmachis), to whom the
Sphinx was sacred. appeared to him
in a dream and ordered him to clear
away the sand which had then. as
now, been wind driven to such an ex-
tent as to bury the temple.
This task Thothmes accomplished.
but by the time of Rameses II. the
temple was again buried In the sand.
In recent years 1t was cleared by NJ
Mariette but Is now nearly buried by
the desert dust again.
