AT THE METHODIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was our banner day in point of attendance at Sunday School with 115 scholars present. The School has had a steady growth during my short pastorate, and l trust that from this time forward we may con- tinue to see it grow in numbers and interest. Let everyo ne come to help make it a better school. We wish to express our appreciationlto the committee and children for that excellent pro- gram on Children's Day, and to all who attended or in any way helped make it a day of devotion and praise on the part of the children who gave it.
 The pastor will preach both morning and evening next Sun day and we desire your presence and cooperation in these regu- lar services. It is my conviction that everyone should attend some church service on each Sunday, if for no other reason than to break the monotony ot the every day round of duties. We shall always deem it a privilege to have you attend our services and will try to help you all we can.
 Keener Rudolph, Pastor.

sotvIHe TIVE LIVING PROBLEM

If the farmers, land owners and merchants of Monroe Coun- ty would come together in Big Mass Meeting at an early date and Ill together start the Mon- roe Live-at- Home Club or Asso. citation. they would be taking time by the forelock, so to speak.
 At this gathering a practical wheat and oat growing expert of the U. s. Agricultural De- partment could explain just how they could all put in few acres of wheat and oats this Fall and thereby start the 'Live-at- Home" movement in a way that would be worth thousands upon thousands of dollars to our coun- ty next Spring, right at a time when conditions are going to be pretty serious in this section.
 Let the Brinkley. Clarendon and Holly Grove Business Mems Clubs join together and bring about this general rally with the object, as above outlined.
 Do it now, men. and turn the defeat into a real victory.
 If this suggestion meets your approval pass it along. let's act at once and see that there's enough wheat made in Monroe County in the Spring of 1915 to feed our people and enough oats to feed the stock.
 It can be done.

County Institute the past sum- mer. Since then I have decided to try the plan as discussed at that time. The idea is not original with me but it is the re- suit of a suggestion by Superin- tendent Edwards, of Benton County.
 A score card similar to the one given here has been prepared for each teacher in the county and the recorder of each teach CT for the year is being made.
 READING CIRCLE
 The importance of the Teach ers' Reading Circle is too well established to be discussed. I deem it sufficient notice, merely, to announce the names of the books on which the work in this county will be based this year. That is to say, that the discus sions at the meetings of the County Associations will be based largely on the two books mentioned below. However. credit will be given for any book on the course.

 Editor Brinkley Argus, one of the leading county papers, after inspection took the platform and in a brief but pointed speech. said that it is no longer a ques- ton with him and it would be with anyone else who sees what is now confronting us, this decorated as it is by the needle work and the canning of fruits, vegetables, etc.. that the negro boys and girls cannot do things and that the money spent is wasted and uselessly spent try ing to educate them.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAKES
STATEMENT

The United States Geological Sur
vey has received many inquiries eon
c~erning investments in the stock of
certain tungsten companies. In gen
eral it may be said that tungsten min
ing, if properly conducted, is probably
as safe financially as other forms of
mining. It is not, however, within
the province of the Federal survey to
give advice on the purchase of par
~ticular stocks or on the condition Of
particular mining properties or indi
vidual mines beyond that included in
the surveys published reports. To
inquiries. however, it is usually stat
ed: "The survey win venture the
advice that no mining stocks Of any
kind should be bought unless the
property has been carefully examined
either by the buyer or by some one
who has a knowledge Of mines and in
whom the buyer has confidence. I'm
less the buyer has a knowledge of
minerals, mines and mining, his own
opinion Is, of course, unsafe. Be
sides knowing the ground itself, a
prospective investor should be sure of
tbe integrity Of the promoters and
company officers, and of the officers

tons connected with the working of a

known, the survey would advise
against investment in the stock
There have been some notoriously
audacious and dishonest promotions
OF tungsten deposits. Companies have
ben greatly overcapitalized, e%xtrava
CANT claims as to future production
and profits have been made, and the
unwary have been led to put their
money into properties from which
little return has been or probably will
b. realized. Only a very small part
of the subscribed capital has gone in
to the development or operation of
the mining properties. Probably the
reason why SO many have been led TO
invest is that investors, lacking
knowledge of tungsten and its ores,
are not in a position to judge of the
truth of the statements made by pro

This is in pleasing contrast to the
shifty, evasive attitude Of his OPP

often made with a wink but on
the two subjects mentioned he has not
ever gone that far. So far as known
