Dry Farming.

The recurring droughts every summer in certain sections of the country have the effect of bringing more and more into common discussion the question of dry farming. Crops have been raised and are eing raised annually in great abun- dance in sections of the country where little or no rains fall. Dry farming has been defined as the conservation of soil moisture during long periods of dry wea- ther by means of tillage, togeth- CT with the growth of drought resisting plants. Dry farming differs from ordinary farming in that the chief object of the dry farmer is to prepare his lands to receive and retain as much rain as possible. This has been done successfully in Ameri- ca, where the farmers of Utah have been raising crops on their dry land, with a rainfall of less than fifteen inches annually for over half a century. Dry farm ing has been practiced from the earliest ages in Egypt and India The treatment of the soil results in four things. Storage of rain fall, destruction of weeds which are moisture robbers, admission of sunshine and air, and the en- couragement of beneficial soil germs. To avoid the bad effects of drought, ploughing should be deep and the soil should be har- rowed from time to time, and kept in a soft and receptive con- dition. For wheat, the drill is much deeper under the ground. In sections of the country where droughts burn up the crops on occasion, the question of dry farming ought to be thoroughly studied and understood, and our government, as we'll as other governments, are making con. tinuous investigations and as- sembling valuable facts.-Mem. phis News-Scimitar.

Watterson Is Right.

Upon getting drunk" is the headline of a rather humorous editorial by Henry Watterson on the Roosevelt-Newell trial. The substance of it is, that no man who leads as busy life as the colonel has lived can be a common drunkard, that it is mo- body's business whether he drinks wine, beer or cocktails, that it is the abuse, not the use, of stimulants that make drunk ards and that sometimes news papers take too much liberty with public mems private hab- it's. Marse Henry speaks by the card in such matters.-Fort Smith Times-Record.

 Little Rock, July 2.-In the postponed session of the State Democratic Central Committee Tuesday afternoon, the report Of the canvassing committee was delayed until after a pledge was received from the two candi- dates to stand by the nominee, which was considered to be a last stand of the committee. The steam roller was expected to make its last run, for if Brun- didge filed pledge, it was all ov- CT, the strength of the commit tee insuring that. In the belat- ed afternoon session the Brun- didge forces more than held their own, and passed the matter over until Wednesday.

Newport and nearby territory were visited by a very heavy shower Wednesday afternoon that will prove very beneficial to both corn and cotton, for the former was needing rain badly and the moisture will help cot ton growth greatly.
 The showers were reported heavy as far north as Tucker man and Swifton, covered most of Oil Trough bottom, as far south as Auvergne and east over most of Village Township. At only the dust was set tied and Richwoods Township had a heavy shower few days ago.

Industrial Outcasts.

The ex-convict released from prison sneaks to a place of hid ing, for every mans hand is a. gainst him.
 He finds it next to impossible to make an honest living, for the world will net give him a chance to do honest work.
 We expect him to work out his redemption, but will give him no employment; we force him to beg, but will grant him no charity, and when at last, in compliance with the first law of nature, he turns crook again, we complain that our penal sys- tenn is a failure.
 At no period of a bad mans life does he present so pathetic a figure as he does when, after having paid the full penalty re- quired of him, he goes out in the world and tries to lead an honest life.
 Several of the states are eX- perimenting in securing employ ment for their ex-convicts through the free employment bureaus.
 The state employment agenc- ies form a piece of mechanism that may be made very effective in aiding such men. They lend themselves to this further use without in any way interfering with their original purpose.
 The practical possibilities in this direction have been shown in the success of Hope Hall, the New York home for eX-convicts established by Mrs. Ballington Booth. In fifteen years this charity has cared for many thousands of ex-convicts, and only 5 per cent of those fol whom employment has been found have gone back to evil ways.
 Opportunity and incentive tc become good citizens will work wonders even upon very poor material.
 Without these, the best of in. tentions must soon shrivel tC hOpelessness, and the spark o1 honest ambition must soon die out.
 He must be a strong man in deed, who can resist the degrad ing influences of enforced idle ness, coupled with the conscious ness that he is held in scorn by his fellows. But such strong men as this rarely come out ol the prisons, for the reason thaf they rarely get into them.
 The chief purpose of punish ment is to inculcate a desire tC lead an honest life.
 But the desire, without tht opportunity, is worse than vair
 it is tragical. - Memphis News-Scimitar.

Hurst, to be managed and conducted as he pleased, and that Hurst actively aided by Strick- land, began a reckless, unwar- ranted course of dealing with the affairs of said bank, such as discounting for it worthless pa- per and securities, which result ed in the insolvency and wreck ing of said bank, footing and cheating the bank out of a sum over S75,000, the receiver, George Vaughan, on Tuesday afternoon filed complaint in the Pulaski County Chancery Court, praying that the above named directors be barred from making any sale, disposition or transfer of their property, and that the plaintiffs have judg- ment against them for the sum of $75,OOO, or such further sum as may befound by aidaccount- ing now being carried on to be due.

CHURCH FOLK JOIN SCRAP
Japanese Butler, With Jlu-Jitsu, Holds
Policemen and Presbyterians
at Bay.

New York.-The congregation of
the Fourth Presbyterian church, on
Nineteenth street, was summoned to
aid in an unusual fight at the resi-
dence of Lorenzo Martinez Picabia, a
broker, recently.
Picabia and his wife had been
thrown bodily from their home by
Tamo Ohara, their Japanese butler,
who had ben discharged earlier in
the day. With four other fellow jap
anese the butler had taken possession
of the house just as the Presbyterians
we're leaving the service at the
church. The members of the congre-
CATION who responded to the calls for
help found the Japanese too much for
them.
Three policemen. one an expert
enced wrestler, were also all thrown
out by the discharged butler, who en-
ployed jiu-jitsu tricks, before he was
arrested. His four confederates es-
capped. Furniture and bric-a-brac in
the house had been broken up in the
fight which the Picabias had with
their servant.

WOMEN DODGE JURY DUTY
Sex Shown by Kansas Example to
Stand on Same Plane as Men-De
Not Seek Superiority.

Toledo, O.-Advocates of equal
rights for women must have felt Inn
mensely encouraged by the news that
the women Of equal rights Kansas
were lodging jury service. 1t was
one more proof that women stood up
on the same plane in nature as men.
1t was additional evidence that diff
ference Of sex did not necessarily
mean that that which was irksome to
men was enjoyed by women.
Save those few score men who can
sit for wearisome hours in a chair
and never squirm and who can keep
awake in a courtroom at the wage the
county establishes, there Is no civic
duty more warranted to render men
suddenly deaf, surprisingly biased In
opinion and calloused In the matter of
minor patriotism than receiving no.
tice to appear for jury service. Citi-
zens who will not dodge taxes-rari-
ties worthy of special distinction
will yet search their souls for excuses
that will keep them out of the jury
box. Occupations which are ordinarily
held in little esteem by the occupants
thereof acquire remarkable value
when it is learned that they exempt
one from jury service To get around
the subpoena sometimes entails ire
mendous expenditure of energy and
the exercise of much ingenuity. Yet
the labor is held we'll worth while
when successful.
1t might have been expected that
women would delight to show a SUI
periority to men, when, as in Kansas.
they have acquired the privilege of
sitting on juries. But this is no part
OF the true equal rights movement.
The serious-minded feminist do not
wish to demonstrate superiority-only
equality. This news from Kansas
shows they have won another scrim-
mage for the cause.

CANNIBALS LIVED IN BOSTON
Professor Harvey w. Sinner Finds
Actual First Settlers Relished
Human Beings.

Boston.-That New England's pre-
historic man-who antedates the old
est inhabitants from 5000 to 10000
years, was a cannibal and of the
Orang-outang type, is the contention
of Harvey w. Simmer, assistant pro-
lessor of palentology at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology.
Professor Sinner has unearthed
strange utensils and remains In a
shell mound at Ipswich which show
that the earliest type there dwelt
from 5000 to 5000, and perhaps 10000
years ago, less than 40 miles from
the heart of Boston.
At Ipswich also pieces of broken
bones of a human victim that, Pro-
fessor Sinner declares, was undoubt-
edly being sacrificed to crafty can
nibal appetite, were found
Professor Sinner said: There were
a number of bones broken into short
er pieces-human bones-which indi-
cate that the earliest type of man
was a cannibal.
"At another kitchen-midden, which
l explored at Gardeners Island, off the
Lcrg Island shore, l found that the
remains of great aux, bird now ex-
tinct, and pottery utensils made In
the most primitive fashion, wholly
unlike the European prehistoric pot
terry, indicating that these early peo-
pie lived here before the invasion of
the European types"
