Despite the Inclement Weather a Good Audience Was Present and Enjoyed a Splendid
 Program.

Despite clouds and downpOur last "Wednesday night a fair crowd turn ed out to attend the commence ment exercises of the 1918 class of the Mena High school, and they were well repaid for their efforts by the splendid program presented.
 The invocation. by the Rev. F. N. Brewer. opened the exercises. This was followed by the >alutatory by Miss Vivian Mckinney, the subject taken being The Women of the Bible. The subject was splendidly handled and well given, and iS pulp liShed elsewhere ln full.
 Miss Vida Webster then gave an instrumental solo on the piano, The Last Hope, which was played fee.ingly and well.

 Mir. Edi,or-Please give me space in your valuable paper for some remarks on this subject. l. may encourage some teacher, patron or pupil. The school teacher, next to the ministry, IS the dominant fac tor in the progress of civilization. From the beginning of our govern ment down to the present time, the school teacher has been first and foremost n the work of training the mind and character of the ris- ing generation. So much is this true that he intellectual enlight- enmen, ot men and women today is traceab.e to the work of the faithful school teacher.

 be he has wrought in the organized

 to read to study to become
 a scholar Through this influence ignorance is dispelled. ambition is stimulated character is developed and citizenship enhanced in it's value.
 The school teacher is as indis- pensable 10 the development of civilization as the minister Is to
 the development of the church. Without the teacher there could be no advancement. no progress. no high mental development. Into the keeping of the teacher We commit our children: and we leave to the teacher sometimes the actual bringing up of children in matters of obedience and discipline. Often the child is just about what the teacher makes of him. Our home life, in many instances, is so im- potent that the child is dependent on the school room for about all he knows Tn he way of department and law-abding habits.
 Then upon the teacher the gray
 est responsibilities rest Not only
 is the mental but the moral and
 the civic veal of the child is placed in the hands of the teacher. ! Therefore the teacher ought to be the best man or the best woman in the whole community. The life and the character of the teacher ought 10 at all times be above re- pr0aeh No profane word ought io escape the mouth of the teacher. l No impr3per conduct ought to be

Soy Beans and Cow Peas.

It Is getting time to SOW soy beans and COW peas, and they should not be neglected. They are fine as soil builders, and both are good for hogs. The soy bean Is fine for hogs.
 Plant them In drills from two to three feet apart, according to the strength of the soil They can be cultivated by planting in the drill, and 1t will require much less seed per acre, and they will yield better than if you SOW them broadcast. By cultivatins two or three times. the weeds and grass can be kept out pretty well. and the vines can be picked and the yield of beans or peas WiI. surprise you.
 By this method you can get bet ter stock for seed next year. The wines can be utilized also. IL will be a good idea to follow the oats with soy beans or COW peas. You may SOW them after oats have been harvested and turn the crop under OF cut the crop for hay and let the second growth come and blow that under. Do not forget to plant peas at the last blowing of corn.
 You can gather the peas in the fall or you can turn the hogs in after the corn is gathered and they will gather the peas for you and make good money for you in doing
 so. You can bring your fattening hogs up 10 a good weight in this
 way. and by penning them up and finishing them on corn you will make some fine pork.
 Do not forget to vaccinate your hogs against cholera. IL will pre- vent this dread disease. Write Dr J. F. Stanford. Fayetteville. He will vaccinate them free. charging only for the serum and his ex- penseS.

Mr. Page Is one of he most thorough and efficient officials that has ever filled that office since 1t was established, has frequently ddmUnl>hed Us tO rely largely upon our personal experience in farm ing. and m line with this good ad- vice l desire 10 ask you fl you haven't observed that. as a general rule, one extreme m weather con- dltions ls not followed by the Op- pusIte extreme?

 In hls lectures on corn growing. Prof Lassetter told us that two and 0ne-half inches of water was suf- iicient moisture for grov and maturing a crop of corn. and We all know that over six inches of water have fallen on the ground Tn this part of the state during the past two weeks. Ii stands 10 reason. therefore. that there is sufficient moisture stored in the soil to keep our crops growing all summer. pro yIding We can only keep it there. There is only one way to do it, and that is 10 cultivate the soil thor 0ughly and frequently For the last two or three days that moisture has been escaping from the ground almost as rapidly as it went into it, and every farmer who realizes this fact is humping himself.
 One old farmer who is -0ntO his i0b. told me last Saturday that he could hardly keep from running his cultiyatOrs on Sunday.
 Yes. my farmer friends. all signs point toward a dry summer propo- sition. and we have got to do tall husiling t0 beat it.
