HOW 1T WORKED IN OHIO.
PauIding Banker Shows How Sugar

Paulding Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Prosperity.
That the establishment Of the sugar
beet industry in Ohio will result in an
increase Of s20.oO0.o00 in he value of
farm lands in the state by the end Of
the present year is the statement Of c.
II. Allen, a banker of Paulding, O.
"Ohio and Indiana should become as
great producers of sugar as Michigan"
said Mr.. Allen, and they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter-
feres with the natural development O!
this industry. In Paulding county
alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been in operation only two
years, the value Of farm property has
increased 100000 as a result of the
Introduction of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the Investment of
100000 -or more in other beet sugar
factories in this section of the state
within the past year., which in turn
will vastly increase the value of the
farm land surrounding them, adding
S2O,O00,000 or more to the agricultural
wealth Of this region.
aside from the direct financial re-
turns that have followed the estab-
lishment of the sugar beet industry in
Ohio, there are numerous other benefits

This increased tillage of the soil is
the very best-and, in fact, the only
efective-means of overcoming the
weeds that are the chronic enemies of
the farmer, choking his crops and ex-
hausting his soil. Besides all this, we
have found that every other crop rails
ed upon land that has been put into
sugar beets shows a greatly increased
yield.
Upon a piece of land that had been

acre, while across the fence IA of my
neighbors, on exactly the same kind OF
land, got a yield of not quite fifty. Last
year on another piece of land that had
been used for sugar beets 1 grew fifty
bushels of wheat to the acre where the
ordinary crop is between twenty-five
and twenty-five bushels. Farmers have
learned SO well that sugar land in
creases the yield Of oats that when they
are in conversation among themselves

to ninety bushels an acre the other will
reply: You have raised it on sugar
beet land. That accounts for it
"This year there will be taken from
Ohio cities to the country to work in

peculiarly fitted to this crop, should
have an equal number"

MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS
Small Events Count for Much More in
Life Than Those We Consider
of Importance.

We love little things, we hate little
things, we fear little things; our lives
are knit up with little things from the
time we are born to the day we die.
Big things draw us up to Heaven or
crush us down to hell. Little things
live beside us on the earth, eat and
sleep with US. laugh and grumble with
us, catch the early train with US. or
make us miss it, irritate and appease
us-never leave US alone for a min
ute.
That is why they are so much more
important than the big things-the
things that only come once in a way,
at long intervals, and even then are
nearly always the result of a hundred
and one little things combined.
To be crushed by a large misadven-
ture is natural, but to fall a victim to
a series of petty misfortunes is HUI
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once and
for all by falling off mountain, than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily
stumbling over mole-hill 1t is the
little things that count-the satisfac-
ton of climbing Mount Olympus is a
poor sort Of attainment if the scores
and scores of pleasant details which
wait upon success be absent-From

REMARKING LIBRARY.

The work of marking the books
in our library began last fall and is
about half finished The books are
being stamped on three edges with
the Hendrix College Library stamp,
so that lost books may be recovered
more easily. During the Christmas
holidays fifteen more drawers were
added to the card catalogue case, MAX
ing forty in all. They contain a title
index, author index, shelf list and
government document index, all on
the card system.
Thirty-seven volumes of the Out
look and eighteen of the Independent,

received from the binder last week
In addition over one hundred volumes

ration of debates on current topics.
The library is growing rapidly. Al
most two hundred lineal feet of shelly

all filled. The magazines and period
icals have been removed from the
lockers under the book shelves and

final STRUGGLE
FOR ENDOWMENT

President J. H. Reynolds, Business
Manager w. B. Hubbell and the Board
OF Trustees are in the midst of final
struggle to raise the remainder of the
$225,O00 subscribed to the Endow-
ment Fund by the friends of the COL
lege, the raising of which will insure
the $4,000 gift promised by the Gen.
eral Board of Education. March 1
marks the expiration of the colleges
period of grace" and if the $40, 900
due the college by its friends has not
been raised by that time the remain
ing $4,000 yet due from the General
Board will be forfeited.
To avoid such a calamitous loss to
the college and to save the Methodism
of Arkansas from the stigma of fail
ure at this critical time, the admins
tration is bending every energy to
raise the necessary amount. Business
Manager Hubbell is in the field and
could not be interviewed. The office
lis in receipt of encouraging letters
from the vigorous manager who seems
not to have given the possibility of
failure single thought.
DR.. Reynolds made flying trip to
Dallas, Tex, early last week to con-
fer with President R. H. Hyer of the
Southern Methodist University rela-
tive to methods employed by him in
his recent successful campaign for an
endowment for that institution. Tine
conference was highly pleasing one
to DR.. Reynolds.
Returning from Dallas he met
few members of the Board of Trus-
tees at Little Rock in informal ses-
sion to discuss the situation with
them. No definite plan of action was
decided upon by them. Should the
situation develop new problems a
meeting of the entire board will
doubtless be called next month.
DR.. Reynolds, when interviewed re-
garding the situation, was neither hot
nor cold.

bell is pushing the work in the field

we will make the landing successfully
if we can make two or three good real
estate deals at once. Some few SUBJ
scriptions were made in real estate
and this must be converted before the
General Board will accept it as pro-

The fund has also lost through the
death or removal of certain subscribe
ers, and this deficit must be made up
from other sources.

WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building Up the
South in the Days Before the
Revolution,

Socially the white servant was an
important factor in helping to build up
landed aristocracy in the south, be-
cause he made possible the cultivation
of extensive areas of land, declares a
writer in Harpers Magazine. But in
the course Of few years he became
a free citizen and owner of a small
estate. Thus was developed a yeoman
class, much needed democratic ele-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands, where they were
needed to protect the frontier Never
theless, they did not form a distinct
class after becoming freedmen. Some
were doubtless the progenitors of the
poor white trash" of the south, but it
is likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor in producing
this class. While comparatively few
rose to prominence, yet there are some
notable examples to the contrary Two

A SIMPIE LEE

The story is told of James Russell
Lowell that on one occasion he met
with an English dignitary whose
friendship he had formed when Lowell
was minister to England On meet
ing this celebrated English Lord, he
sent word to Mrs. Lowell that Sir
was in the city and he would bring
him to lunch
Mrs. Lowell for some reason failed
to receive the message and was very
much surprised and embarrassed
when Mr.. Lowell suggested to his wife
that no apologies should be made for
the frugality of the meal. They were
seated at the dinner table and Mrs.
Lowell, who had no servants served
the luncheon with her own hands.
1t happened that Mr. and Mrs. Low
ell lived simply and very often their
luncheon consisted of only one dish,
which was true on this occasion. A
sumptuous portion of baked hallibut
was brought forth and Mr.. Lowell
was about to serve his distinguished
guest, who at once addressing Mrs.
Lowell, said: "If you please, Madam,
l beg to be excused from the fish
course today

Englishman ate on that occasion.
