THE DIFFERENCE.

The government statistics, just out, give the following figures on Arkansas cotton production, first under the farm demonstration methods, and second the crop sys- tenn generally in use, the figures given being for seed cotton:
 1909 1910 1911 1912 Demonstration

 3O.6 36.8 32.9 33.2 Average of state
 tS.O 24.O POS 20.4 Difference. 12.6 l2S 12.1 12.S Certainly these figures, and they are authentic, would be pretty good proof to the average man that the improved methods taught by the government experts are worth while. The figures ought to be studied by every farmer and cer- tainly by those justices of the peace in Polk county who cast their votes against a trifing appropriation that would keep the good work going on and at the same time return to our farmers several good dollars for every one they pay in for the cause. The Star is mighty proud of Polk county and wants to be proud of it's progress and it's institutions, but somehow that 9 to 8 vote against farm demonstration looks like put ting a stick in the wheel of pro- gress.
 The Star notes, in looking over the vote, that, generally speaking, those who voted against this work last year and year before have had no change of heart, but somehow or other the hope will exist that in the end the majority will be on the other side. It believes that the ma jority of the people of Polk county are anxious that it should be so.

Death of Little Child. Services

Last Friday afternoon the baby
girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Wgley Floyd

was sick for only a few days. All

save its life, but God saw fit TO take
it; we bow in submission to His will.

There was a good congregation
at Republican last Sunday morning.
The 1erci.es by the children were
splenoiu. After short sermon on
missions preached by the pastor, a
good contribution for foreign mis-
sions was taken. The congree a

was good. The pastor has been
preaching a series Of sermons to
young people which we hope will
be helpful to all who attend.
The young people of Red Hill
gathered at the Key bridge on Tur-
key creek last Saturday morning
for picnic. The day was spent in
eun and frolic, boat riding, swim

fishing and talking. Your cores

from Florida, and is one of the

Miss Georgia Mae Wates has
been student of expression for
some time, and has always pleased
her audiences, but more than ever
on this occasion. She was very
pleasing in the lighter vein, but in
Hiawatha that strangely rhythmed
song of Americas most beloved
poet, she carried the audience back
to the early days of our great coun-
try, casting a halo of romance
around the wigwam Of the Indian
maiden and the heroic brave. Miss
Wates expects to make teaching a
profession, ,and in her literary course
at college, as well as in expression,
she has won honor to herself and
the memory of her father, the late
P. r. Wates, and to her mother,
Mrs. Mary Wates whom all Edge

Music Recital.

Monday evening in the college
auditorium, a delightful occasion
attracted many friends and students,
being the graduating music recital
of Miss Sallie May Miller, very gra-
ciously assisted by Miss Thelma
Bailey on the violin.
A number of accomplished uian-
lists have received their instruction
from the gifted musicians connected
with the S. G. C. l., but instruction
does not make the musician-the
gift must be inherent-and yet the
gifted student canhot become pro-
fcient unless ably instructed. On
the occasion of this music recital
there was abundant evidence that
both requirements had been lavishly
supplied.
Miss Miller has been a student of
music here for several years and in
her first term, gained for herself
the reputation of possessing unusual
musical gifts. She is a very gra-
cious, refined and pretty young wo-
man, and in every way fitted to
adorn any occasion. This musical
accomplishment will be an added
charm to her promising young life.
In every number on Monday
evening, all of which were difficult
selections, and played only by ar
fists. Miss Miller in style and tech
nique, and heart, manifested every
indication of the musician. The
numerous and bea- .iful flowers
which surrounded the footlights in
dicated Miss Miller's popularity
among the students as we'll as the
Edgefeld friends. The program
