,v,NSAS STANDS THIRD A IN MAGNESE DEPOSITS
c..a Mineralogist Makes Statement ''C Giving Result of Thorough lnves- t;oation by Him of States
 Magnese Deposits.

little Rock, Dec. 10.--John T. Full :. State Mineralogist, has just is ..ad an interesting statement giving mo ,esuts of thorough investigation ky him of the magonese deposits of .so state. The most important dis +r;ct in the state is situated just Moth of Batesville, in Independence, ivard and Sharp counties, and covers .hout 150 square miles. More than .on nor cent of all the manganese ore u;ned in the United States comes from this district.
 The largest single produced is Vir- c;ra with 246, ,516 tons, while Arkan- s.s stands third with 49,S76 tons for .ho neriod from 1888 to 1913. Practi- cslly no manganese ore was mined in Arkansas during the ten year period from 1903 to 1913. From 1910 to 1913 Arkansas produced 1S,1S9 tons, val nod at S36,301, more than half being nroduced in 1913, the average value uer ton being S1.99 At the present time the representatives of several us- CTS of manganese ores are in Bates vile negotiating for the purpchase and operation of number of manganese bearing properties. This renewed in- trest anl activity may be directly traced to the effect of the European war on the importation of foreign ores.
 "It cannot be said, that, taken as a whole, the manganese ore industry of the United States has been very pro- ftable,' said MT Fuller. "This has been due to numerous causes, but can probably be directly traced to the nexperience and lack of technical skill on the part of the operators, coupled with foreign competition"

FARMERS GAIN SUCCESS
 THROUGH DIVERSIFICATION

That Arkansas can diversity and raise her. food products at home with out materially reducing the annaul cotton crop is not to be denied. The success of many farmers over the state who diversity is ample proof that diversifcation not only reduces the cost and thus makes living easier. but that it also results in improve ment of soil conditions and therefore larger yields of cotton per acre.
 Columbia county has it's full share of the men of the state who grow their food products at home. Among these may be mentioned Joel Pittman, four miles northeast of Magnolia; C. A. Bird, twelve miles northeast; R. S. Pittman, one and one-half miles north east; ]. s. Parham, four miles west; A. NJ. Knight, sixteen miles southwest; J. NJ. King, one mile east; and J. A. w. Sonter, eight miles west. These men, by practicing diversified farming have made success and never have to ask the merchants for credit. What these men have done others can do Let each individual contribute his part towards feeding Arkansas by growing at home those things he needs for the home and farm.

 Lizzie Shelton a Lee county negress convicted last April of manslaughter and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, She attempted to kill her sister, Rose Foreman, and the petition CTS say:
 There is some doubt as to the real intention of Lizzie to kill her sister as it happened in a scrimmage be- tween Lizzie and Rose and Roses hus- band. They fell on the floor during part of it, and it is not improbable that Lizzie did not intend to stab her sister. She had an open knife in her hand at the time she fell" The par don was recommended by Circuit Judge Jackson, Prosecuting Attorney Rachels, Sheriff Cotter and others.

An ALARMING TENDENCY.

New York churches, it is estimated,
spend $l0.000 in palms for decorations
on Palm Sunday. the anniversary of
Christ'S entry into Jerusalem. The
hardship on many a poor man for that
expensive decoration and the pomp of
the celebration seem almost to mock
the deep humility of Jesus during that
Passion Week. If this is an example
of the big American way of celebrat-
ing alike every event whether social,
political or religious, we have just
cause to be alarmed The Easter mes
sage is too vital to men and women
TO become an accompaniment to a mere
gala occasion, when churches spend
immense sums on their attire as do
their congregations.

WHY GO TO THE ARCTIC

Hunting polar bears with all the
comforts of city hotel is the latest
progress of modern convenience. And
it costs only $1,000 for a whole sea-
son of the sport The announcement
was made just the other day by an ex-
pedition company that proposes to take
a whole boat load of spOrtsmen TO the
Arctic region.
But why go to the arctic region if
all the comforts of life are to be fur
nished or $1,000? One could spend
that much money easily without going
to all the trouble of taking a trip to
the Arctic zone. And as for hunting
polar bears. how could hunter be-
lieve that the bears were of polar
variety when all the comforts of a
city hotel were furnished?
Ii would be more fun and more
real if this enterprising company would
import "A herd of the big white bears,
turn them loose in a cold storage
plant and charge admission TO chase
them around among the cakes of ice
and ammonia pipes. Wouldn't it?
