She Wanted to Sea- lady went
into a butcher shop and ordered thir-
ty-five pounds of meat. The clerk went
to the ice-chest, put his arms around a
large piece of meat. and. after strug-
Cling across the store, managed to
reach the scale. which read forty-se
en- pounds. This was too much for the
lady, so back went the meat and out
came a different piece. This time the
scales read thirty eight pounds. After
slicing off a piece he got it to weigh
exactly thirty-five pounds.
There, lady" he said, where shall
have it sent?"
Nowhere" said the lady. You see

that l had lost thirty-five pounds, and

Writers of Historic Sonss.-Most OF
the songs that have made history were
written by men who had no other claim
TO immortality. The "Marseillaise' Is
the only production Of Rouget de Lisle
which has survived. and "The Wearing
of the Green" was the work of an an
onymous purveyor of ballads for the
street hawkers Of Dublin. Max Sch
neckenburger, an obscure Swabian
merchant, who never published any
thing else, composed in 1910 some
verses of which the burden was thus
translated:
Dear Fatherland, no danger thine,
Firm stand thy sons to watch the
Rhine"
Little was heard Of these until thir-
ty years later, when the Franco-Ger-
man war gave them an enormous Vo-
que. They were then adopted as the
national anthem of United Germany,
and a yearly pension Of 5000 marks
was conferred on the composer of the
tune to which they were set.-London
Chronicle.

Standard Time in Brazil.-Brazil,
which has been one Of the few COM
mercial nations holding out for its own
meridian as a basis for calculation of
time, finally has fallen in line with the
great nations of the world, and has
accepted the meridian Of Greenwich
for the reckoning Of official time as set
forth in advices just received here.
Furthermore, the country has been di-
vided into zones and a system OF
standard time established such as pre-
walls In the United States.
Some idea of the geographical extent
of the country is conveyed by the fact
that there Is three hours difference in

THE ARKANSAS NATIONAL GUARD

Little Rock, March 29.-At a meeting of the Entertainment Fund ,Committee of Little Rock Friday afternoon, the proposi- tion made by the officers of the Arkansas National Guard, to hold the annual encampment in Little Rock if the city would donate ,S3, 300 toward the main tenance of the Guard for the year, was discussed. It was finally decided to donate S1,000 toward the entertainment of the Encampment, and the Board of Trade and the Chamber of Com merce agreed to solicit sub
 scrlptions for an additional $2,5O0, which will go toward the maintenance of the Guard for the year. As much of this money as
 possible will be raised in Little Rock but the secretaries of the two organizations were instruct
 ed to take the matter up with the other towns of the state, par ticularly those which have com, panies in the Guard, and request the citizens there to assist in keeping the Guard from being disbanded. Committees will solicit the subscription in Little Rock during the coming week.

Peanuts And Hogs.

Every thrifty farmer in Ark ansas should plant a few acres of peanuts this year. Nothing is better for the pigs and hogs than peanuts. Plant the small Span ish peanuts. Prepare the land we'll and make the rows not more than thirty inches apart The seed may be planted with a planter, and should be about 12 inches apart in the drill. If the land is not too strong they may be planted thicker.
 Two or three times will be suf- ticient to cultivate. Run between the rows with cultivator or double shovel, and when t h e plants are large enough, it will be all right to let the dirt from the cultivator cover the runners and branches an inch or two, if the soil is loose and not wet. Wet soil is damaging. Keep tn e weeds and grass out, especially while plants are young. In Au- gust, the pigs may be allowed to run in the patch to some extent without doing more damage than will be off set by their gain in flesh and growth. When the peanuts are ready to gather, the vines may be pulled and thresh- ed or the nuts picked by hand. The vines make fine hay, and all kinds of stock like it. Another good way is to turn the hogs in and let them eat vines, nuts and all, this saves the cost of harvest ing. Nothing is better for hogs, and it gives a fine favor to the meat.
 The peanuts should be planted about the middle of May. It will require about 1 1-2 bushels to the acre, and with a planter, eight acres a day can be planted. It will cost from six to seven dol lars an acre to grow'peanuts, and the crop will produce 25 to 50 bushels per acre. If the hogs are turned on them and the cost of gathering is saved, it will be found that the value of the crop will be from 75c to $1.OO per bushel. Try this crop once, if only on a small scale.

RURAL SCHOOL PRO-
 MOTION DAY EXERCISES

County Rural School Promo. ton Day Exercises will be held In number of counties of the state this year near the closing time of the schools, according to information received by Super visor of Rural Schools, J. L. Bond, of the Department of Edu. cation.
 Professor Bond in recent let ter to -the county superintend- ents and examiners of the state strongly urges that Rural School Promotion Day exercises be ar. ranged in every county of the state if possible, such exercises S to be held near the closing time of all rural schools of the county.
 The plan suggested by Prof. Bond for holding such exercises Is that a special day be designat- ed and known as Rural School Promotion Day at which time all the pupils of the county who have completed the regular sev- enth grade of the state common school course of study during the year shall come together at some central place in the county to receive theiRscommon school certificates.
 The purpose in holding exer- ciSes of this kind in the interest of the rural schools of the differ ent counties is to give the pupils of these rural schools something definite toward which and for which to work. A plan of this kind will also tend to hold the ru- ral school boys and girls in school until they complete the common school work and are prepared for High school work.
 Occasions of this kind will also serve to bring the people 
 together and there should result a greater interest in the educa- tional work of the county.
 Again: It is hoped that such exercises will bring clearly be- fore the people in the rural com munities of the state the need and importance of providing as soon as possible High school advantages for such pupils that have finished the common school work in these rural districts and are thus prepared to do High school work.
 It is hoped that special day near the closing time of the schools will be set apart this year in every county in the state, to be known as County Rural School Day and specially devoted to the work of the rural schools.

SISSON URGES WAR
AGAINST JAPANESE.

Washington, April pa war
speech" in support of the proposed
California anti-alien land law was
delivered in the house today by
Representative Sisson of Mississippi.
eff we must have war or submit
to this indignity I am for war, -
cried Mr.. Sisson. II am with the
people of California in their efforts
to prevent these aliens from acquir-
ing land.
II believe" said Mr.. Sisson, that
no nonresident alien should be al
lowed to hold single foot of land
in the territory Of the United States.
What would Washington say in an
swer to the question, war or SUBJ
mission? What would Jackson say?
What would Cleveland say? What
would Mckinley say?
II resent the effort Of japan to
force us to submit to her demands.
Sisson took the position that the
Japanese government in protesting
against alien land legislation was
endeavoring to exempt its citizens
from the operation from the laws
of states.
"The president and secretary of
state" said Mr.. ,Sisson, Should only
assure an alien government that the
people of the alien nation would be
dealt with fairly in accordance with
the law of the state. Any other poo
sition would lead to the federal gov
eminent taking out from under the
laws of he states the citizens of an
other nation. But all citizens or
aliens resident in state must be
held subject to it's laws and to ex-
empt the alien would give him privil-
ages over and above those accorded
% American citizens"

ATHLETICS A BAR TO VICE.
Doctor Sargent Says Girls Should
Have More Games.

Cambridge, Mass, April 29.-That
the athletic girl is less liable to sue
cumb to temptation than her sister
who does not go in for athletics Is
the opinion of DR.. Dudley A. sar-
gent. director of athletics at Har-
ward.
THE social evil is the result of
life's forces being turned into wrong
channels" Doctor Sargent says.
"The eternal longing to externalize
ones self-that is to find an outlet
for the emotions-is an inherent
one in human nature. The basis i'm
pulse may find natural healthy ex-
preston in athletics, or it may find
some sinister form.
Athletics offer the girl not only
the opportunity to acquire a sound
and healthy body, but a moral and
mental eQuipoise which believe can
be acquired in no other way. 1t is
certain that girls Of athletic ten
denotes are less liable to go astray
1t appears to be natures own scheme
for preserving the moral balance. :"

ROOSEVELT IN JAP DISPUTE?

EX-President.

New York, April 24.-Colone
Roosevelt has taken a hand in the
California alien land bill situation

Colonel urged Governor johnson to
bring all pressure to bear upon the

passage Of such 9 bill as is now nm

1T AFFECTS CHINESE. TOO.
But So Far China Hasn't Protested
Against Alien Law.

| Washington, April 26.-Secretary
Bryan is not expected to, spend more
than a week at Sacramento confer.
ring with Governor Johnson and the
state legislators over the proposed
anti-alien land laws. From semi
official sources today, it was said
that Mr.. Bryan expected to- present
the views of President Wilson and
do all that was possible to remove
friction between the United States
and japan over that particular Leg
islation in time to be back in Wash
ington on May Z.
In official circles today it was
suggested that the energy with which
Japan had protested against the
enactment of the pending alien land
holding legislation in California,
served to obscure the fact that many
Chinese would be affected by such
laws, though not in proportion to-
the Japanese residents.
The Chinese legation here, though
noting the facts, has refrained from
lodging any protest at the state de-
partment, while awaiting instruc-
tons from Pekin as well as the
issue of negotiations between Amer
lea and Japan regarding the ques-
ton of alien land ownership. 1t
is apparent, however, that the sit
uation is viewed with deep concern,
developing as 1t has at the very mo-
ment when the United States gov
eminent is about to encourage the
people by extending recog-
nition to the infant democracy.
