The above figures represent the final count in the Grand Piano Contest We'd nesday evening, giving the prize to Miss Jessie Patty over her nearest com petitor, Kate Stevens, by a majority of 2,384, ,630.
 Although The Tribune had "ten to one shot" on subscriptions in the mat ter of issuance of votes, less than 25 per cent of the total votes cast in the contest came from The Tribune office, and less than twenty per cent of the vote that Miss Patty got came from The Tribune.
 In other words, Miss Patty would have won by a million majority with out one vote that was issued to her by this office.
 This comment is made upon the fig ures in view of the fact it was inti- mated strongly two weeks before it closed that the contest had been mon opolized by The Tribune on account of the heavy bonuses paid the girls who were soliciting for the paper.
 Our books show that contestants have collected and paid into The Trib- une since the contest opened a total of $380.00 on subscriptions, 103 new names having been added to the list.
 In turn, The Tribune has paid the contestants, all of whom except the winner were entitled to ten per cent commissions, the sum of $33. % in cash.
 As revenue producer, this contest has been the poorest one with which the paper has ever been connected.
 Our sole object in associating in the contest was to get new names on our list, but from a standpoint of dollars and cents, counting all the effort and expense, we would better have donated the paper to the 103 new readers.
 We mention this merely to let some people know that we didn't get ricf out of the scheme by a good deal.

Possibilities of Arkansas as Seen by john F. Page, Commissioner Of
 Agriculture.

Agriculture.
 Arkansas soil averages good to better. It is productive, ard easy to cultivate. The climate is favorable. We have no crop failures. Sometimes we have too much rain, sometimes not enough, bat we are always able to make good average crop, especially in sections where they diversity. The one great trouble is that too few Of our own peo- pie know aHd appreciate the possibii- ties on the arm in this state.
 We should take q few things into consideration that we nave overlooked. Fer instance, an Arkansas boy raised 155 bushels of corn on an acre of Ark ausas land this year. An Arkansas man grew one ton to the acre of broom corn on twenty acres. The broom corn was worth $200 per ton. Another Ark ansas man produced 2000 pounds of sunfower seed per acre. They are worth six cents pound. Another man made 3600 pounds of seed cotton on an acre. Another Arkansas man made $500 on six acres of peanuts and had ton of hay per acre besides. A man in Faulkner county killed hog last week that weighed 690 pounds. A bull bred at Bonneville four year ago took the grand champion Hereford prize at the International Stock Show in Chicago last week, and stands as the greatest living Hereford bull in America. He was offered ten thousand dollars for him and refused the offer Verify, Arkansas has done some things and can do more. With thrift, energy, applica- cation and intelligence, the farmer in Arkansas will succeed. He will pros per nearly every time.
 These instances recited here are only indications of what others can do. Let us get busy and live up to our op- portunities. Let us take hold and push things. Arkansas needs no reputation for doing things. Let's see that one gets it in 1914.

First the show itself is of the, very best kind, and more than worth the money, all of which after paying ex- penses, goes to the district.

Let everybody come with the full assurance that they will be more than pleased with MT. Vaughn and that you are helping your self in helping the school

Change in Coast Lines.

To discover a town under the waves
of the Mediterranean is not so won
der-provoking as it would have been
ten years ago, when organized re-
searches disclosed the fact that since
the Roman dominion the Neapolitan
coast first sank about thirty-five feet
and then rose about nineteen feet.
Scientists are now convinced that
what is going on in the middle sea is
one of those slow and majestic move
ments that have raised continents
from the sea-and sunk them under.
All the evidence for this slow earth
change can be seen by the tourist in
the form of grotto, cave, erosion lines
high above water mark and sunken
wonders of buried forums and tenn
pies. The great bath of one Of the

KEEP YOUR SECRETS
PERSONS WHO CONFIDE IN
"FRIENDS" MAKE MISTAKE.
Learn to Keep Own counseI-Affairs
Safe Only When Known by One of
Three Persons, Two of Whom
Are Dead.

There is fixed belief in the minds
of most women and men that no mat
ter how often they may be called
upon to listen to the telling of other
peoples secrets, they are far too
wise to make the mistake OF telling
their own. AS matter of fact it Is
the easiest thing in the world to be-
tray your own confidence, and it is
also quite the hardest thing after the
cat has been allowed to slip out or
the bag, to be forced to admit to
yourself that certain disagreeable
consequences might have been avert
ed had you taken the same precau-
fairs.
The door through which most OF
your secrets are likely to escape, I'M
less you are as wise as serpent, IS
that of sympathy, with a big IS"
You would not be human If you did
not crave sympathy, and you will al
ways find plenty Of people ready to
hand out to you what looks like the
genuine article, but is nothing more
than a contemplate imitation, assum-
ed for the purpose of leading you to
make fool of yourself.
You may seek to justify this be-
trayal of yourself in your own eyes
by arguing that your dearest friend,
Jane, is ''as deep as a Well and "as
silent as the grave" and nine times
out of ten you may be right in your
high opinion Of James integrity as q
secret keeper" However, there is
sure to come tenth time when Jane.
either through thoughtlessness or
malice aforethought, falls down hard
ON her job, and the Utmost revela-
tions of your soul are whispered
about the community, and become
fruitful subject Of discussion among
your friends and acuquaintances.
If you have learned to keep your
own counsel in the face OF the tam
tilizing temptations to tell your best
friend your right name; If when labor
ing under the stress of some great
emotion you can keep absolutely mum
about what doesn't concern anyone
but yourself, then you may be safely
entrusted with your own secrets.
Always remember that "a secret Is
q secret when known to one OF three
persons, two of whom are dead"

Shakesneara In Burmese.

Shakespeare In Burmese was sue
cessfuliy presented recently at Man
dalay, India. "Pericles" was the play
chosen and the participants were
amateurs recruited from the Burmese
legal profession these. The play was
selected and adapted to Burmese
ideas by Maung Tin, district judge.
Some idea of the original lines on
which the play was produced may be
gathered from the fact that the scene
was laid in China! SO encouraging
were the financial results that the
idea is to be followed up, the scenes
being shifted according to the imagi-
nation of the promoters.
