Protecting The Game.
| to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 21.-E. v.
Vissart, the Arkansas game
enthusiast, left last night for
East Arkansas to place men
in the field rescuing deer and
other game which has been ma
rooned by the overflow. For sew
eral weeks Vissart has been out
over the state collecting dues
and soliciting new members for
the Arkansas Game Protection
Association, securing the funds
with which to carry on the work
in Eastern Arkansas.
The game is now sufficiently
cowed through weakness, to
submit to rescue without fight.
After being we'll fed the deer
will be liberated on high ground.
Aside from rescuing the game
the agents of the association
will collect evidence against hun
tiers who have slaughtered the
marooned game, or killed it out
of season, which will be present
ed to the next grand jury Of that
county. When this work is COM
pleted the Association will
place agents in other counties to
gather evidence of violation of
the game laws. 1t is the inten-
ton of the association officials
to prosecute vigorously under
the existing laws, and conserve
game as much as possible until
the next session of the legisla-
ture, which is sure to pass more
adequate game laws.

ciate at the dedication of the

to receive the degrees in this
branch of Masonry is much lar

by the presence in the city of
the supreme lodge officials.

COOk-Lewis Wedding.

Miss Marshall Cook and Mr..
Nicholas Lewis were united in
marriage at the home of the
bride, on Monday, April four
tenth, Father Slater of Little
Rock performing the ceremony.
The bride was beautifully at
tired in a gown of white char
meuse with pearl trimmings,
and wore a pearl necklace, a gift
of the groom, while the groom
was attired in the conventional
black.
The attendants were Miss Lou
Alice Rutherford, a niece of the
bride, and Miss Adele Lewis, a
sister of the groom.
Miss Rutherford was dressed
in a dainty gown of pink, while
Miss Lewis wore a dress of deli
cate blue.
The wedding was a quiet af-
fair, with only the members of
the immediate families present.
Mrs. Lewis is one of Bates
ville's most popular society mem
bers, and possesses many quail
ties that are very attractive to
her friends and to all who know
her.
The groom, Mr. Lewis, is also
one of the popular young men of

The Mule.

If the mule could speak as did
me of his famous ancestors II
Biblical times, he might seize
the opportunity to indulge just
now in a horse laugh at the ex-
pense of his more aristocratlc
relative, the horse.
The mule has ever been a de-
spised and abused hybrid, alto
gettar unjustly. It was Charles
Carroll, one of the signers of the
Declaration of independence
who first recognized his merits,
and offered a prize for the best
article on the mule. Willis Pom
eroy, of Massachusetts, took up
defense of the mule, and prov
ed him to be one Of the most
valuable of the barn yard ami
mails.
For while Uncle Sam continues
to maintain firm affection for
him only equaled by the person
al drivers, who betoken their sin
cerity by friendly oaths, the
mule will not be dependent upon
vagrant inventions as has been
the horse.
Fo rthe latter, with the auto
mobile and the aeroplane on one
side, and the sturdy mule on the
other, seems in grave danger of
being backed off the boards,
both as an ornament and as a
useful vehicle.
True, he hath always his uses
in a horse race; but with legis-
latures all over the country for
bidding betting at a horse race
of what use to race or to main
tain racing stable?
But the mule plods sturdily
on. His faithful persistency in
the matter of labor, the pertin-
acity which is mistaken for OBJ
stinacy has won for him a place
in the commercial world. He
lives forever and then dries up
and blows away, instead of vul-
carly expiring, swelling and be-
coming menace to an entire
community while awaiting the
dead animal wagon to haul his
remains away as a horse would
do.
His only recreation, seldom in
dulged in, is kicking. Yet we
have no poems of praise to the
mule. We have quatrains for
the horse, sonnets for the dog
and bench shows for the cat. No
one has immortalized the sturdy,
plodding mule in verse.
Meek in attitude, reasonable in
demand, never daring to claim
relationship with the horse, nor
presuming to complain of the
quality of his defects, the mule
does what many of us merely
discuss-he does his daily stint
of work faithfully and to the
best of his ability. Has no one
a good word to say for the mule ?

against anyone who undertakes
to suggest a better plan than the
one he is already using. No man
will thank you for telling him
that you know his business bet
ter than he. These facts have
their truest expression in the
relation which now exists be-
tween the so called book farmer
and the farmer himself. Every
farmer, who in truth is farm
er, feels keenly the attempts OF
the scientific farmer to show
him better methods, which is
human nature and would be true
in any business. In any partlc-
ular case which may arise the
human nature position will pre-
vail, unless there has been a
concrete example of the practi-
cability of the other side Of the
issue.
That is just the question; there
has been a concrete example OF
the practicability Of almost ev-
cry great principle of scientific
agriculture in every community
in the state of Arkansas, no mat
ter how small. Every farmer
in our state has seen it proved
that roation of crops pays; that
live stock pays; that leguminous
fertilizers pay; that commercial
fertilizers pay; and that sclen-
tifc care of the orchard pays !;
that cotton is not the only mon
ey crop that can be grown in
Arkansas; that seed selection
pays; that shallow cultivation
and lots of it pays, and a hum
dred other comparative new l.
IDEAS have common sense IN
them after all. The truth of
which, nearly every farmer or
anyone else, would have been
slow to admit until shown, SIM
ply because the great majority
of these ideas sprang from ex-
pertinent station work and DEM
onstration work and were given
to the farmer by the so-called
"book farmer"
The time has now come in Ar
kansas when good judgment de-
mands that we throw aside all
GU rlittle prejudices and don the
spirit of hearty cooperation
with all those who are being paid
to transmit a little of the truths
learned by experiment and es-
pecially to agree when we have
so many concrete examples of
good practical scientific farm
ing in every community. Preju-
dice is the worst enemy to pro-
gress on the farm. When the
truth is shown, good judgment
demands that we accept it or a.
bide by the results. The book
farmer is the farmers best
friend.
In this office we have books OF
nearly every farm subject, and
the results of thousands of eX-
periments, the majority
which have been proved to
sensible by our farmers in r.
kansas. There are very few
! farmers who are able to buy
text books or have time to keep
up with the experiment work.
! We are here for your service,
and we have the experiences Of
thousands Of others in every
phase of farm life, which are
yours for the asking. Let us
hear from you.

10000 SQUARE MILES OF SALT.
There's Enough in Kansas to Last a
Million Years.

Lawrence, Kan.-Kansas has enough
salt to last the world 10 million years
That is the substance of a report made
public by Prof. Erasmus Haworth ol
the University of Kansas, state geolo
gist. Professor HawOrth made sur
vey of the salt resources of Kansas
and has prepared map showing in
detail the quality and amount of the
known salt beds of the state. So vast
is the area of saline deposits that Pro-
fessor Haworth is confident that the
world need fear no salt shortage for
countless ages.
There are at least 10000 square
miles of salt beds in Kansas" said
Professor Haworth. 81 have no doubt
but that there are 10000 or 10000
square miles, but | based my report
only on proven territory. The aver
age thickness of the salt bed is 800
feet, all practically pure salt.
"The salt may be obtained by min
ing or by using an evaporation pro-
cess. By the latter method, most OF
the commercial product is obtained.
Rice, Reno, Ellsworth and Kingman
counties are underldid by salt beds"
