KEEPS THE FARMERS
 TOOLS ALWAYS SHARP

Next to chopping wood the hardest work of the farm boy, as the editor of the Arkansas Home stead remembers, IS turning the old-faShioned grind stone while father sharpens the tools. There is now a labor-saving tool sharp ener known as the Luther Farm Tool Grinder which man mounts as he would bicycle, turns with his feet and, both hands free, sharpens his axe, blade or disc to that degree of keenness which be longed to the instrument when it left the factory. This useful ma chine is cheap and 1t is sent free on trial. A book describing it may be had by addressing the Luther Grinder Mfg, Co.,, 591 Stroh Bldg, Milwaukee, Wis. (Adv)

SHOOTS GIRL AND
 ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Prompted By Jealousy, Newport Young Man Tries to Kill
 Girl and Himself

Newport, Mich. 21.-Jealous of her attentions to other young men of Newport, Fred Cooper, young man of this city last night shot and wounded Bessie Blount of Lake Providence, La, in the Plant CTS Hotel here. He then turned the revolver on himself and at- tempted to end his own life. The bullet entered the side of his face and lodged near the temple. The young woman was shot in the jaw and is not fatally wounded, accord ing to physicians. Cooper was arrested and is in jail here. Phy- sicians declare that he will recov- CT.
 Cooper is we'll known in New port on account of his wild west" costumes. He had been paying
  some attention to Miss Blount, but he is not known to have made any threats. About 6:30 o'clock last night he walked into the ho- tel, and without a warning, fired at Miss Blount. Apparently be- he3ing he had killed her, Cooper then turned the revolver upon himself. Physicians say that the pistol used by Cooper was a cheap weapon, with but little penetrat- ing power, or both he and Miss Blount would have been fatally wounded.

THE IMPORTANCE
 OF PREPARATION
State Commissioner Urges Farm CTS to Thoroughly Prepare
 Land Before Planting

We are not in the corn belt be- cause we have not given proper attention to live stock farming. If
 bigger corn crops help produce better live stock, more live stock means bigger corn crops. For bet ter live stock: plant good seed, prepare good seed bed, utilize every available bit of manure and humus-making material, cultivate often and shallow, and study a plan of rotation that will build up your soil. Our corn crops are small not so much because of the way we handle our corn but the way we handle our land. Get the land ready.
 The preparation of the soil for your crop is of the greatest impor- tance. 1t not only insures a bet ter stand, but decreases the amount of cultivation, required by the crop later on, and finally insures the farmer a better yield. And that is the reward for all the care and work. Deep breaking and blowing under of organic maftel should be the rule in t7e spring for cotton or corn. Then there is no crop grown where a liberal use of high grade commercial fertiliz CT pays better than on cotton, but do not get the fertilizer craze. Get humus (decaying organic mat ter) restored through the growth of legumes and feeding 1t to get manure.
 Deep blowing, through prepar- ation and heavy fertilization are all necessary to grow good crops. In all cases use good seed. It will be cheaper to pay a good price than to plant those of poor quality. Then arrange some seed plots and grow your own seeds.
