BUY 4 BULL"

In the vast flood of platitudes and perfunctory advice" with which the farmers, merchants and bankers of the south are now being inundated, one catches an occasional glimpse of clear, sparkling current threading it's way through the muddy waters.
 Whole volumes have been written that did not say as much as one of the speakers at the recent convention of livestock growers at Pine Bluff said in a few words. We quote it in the following extract from a newspaper story of the convention:
 "We talk, about buy-a-bale," said MT. Auten, who talks crisply and di- rectly, i've ought to buy a bull. We say we believe in diversifcation, but we don't If we did, we would raise more grain and feed. Our farmers won't quit the one-crop system until you enlist the bankers and credit mer- chants in the fight. They ought to be up here listening to these talks, They are as vitally affected as any body else. So long as they back the farmer who raises nothing but cotton just so long will that farmer hesitate to diversity and raise things he can eat and feed to his stock If they would curtail credit on cotton, unless it is a surplus crop, the farmers would quickly learn to diversity"

HENDRIX BAND SHINES
THIRTY SIX MEN BEGAN PRAC- TICE MONDAY TO DEVELOP
 BEST BAND IN STATE.

Mir. Harry Newman, the popular and able band leader of last year, has returned to school and with his coming the Hendrix band has leaped into the limelight with a rush.
 Under the efficient management of MT. Newman the band was a very important factor in Hendrix last year. The disadvantages incident to last years work have passed, and this year the Hendrix band bids fair to assume it's rghtful place among the collge bands of the Southwest.
 Every student of Hendrix has real ized the need of college band, and now that the demand has been met every loyal Hendrix man will boost for it. The hero of old went forth to battle amid the clamor of martial music-it was his guide along the bat tie front, his guard amid the silent night watches, his messenger of vic tory. And it is thus that Hendrix shall encourage her warrior sons. On foreign soil or in the defense of their native gridiron the united support of good band is the magic worker that will call out the best in them.
 Last year the band was composed of only fifteen instruments, but this year there will be a total of thirty six Unusual interest is being shown by the members and regular practce is being held four times week.
 The following are members of the band for this year.:
 Director-Harry Newman.
 Clarinets-Horace Cabe, l.. S. Polk, Hardin Stark, Fred Murphy and w. R. Hunt.
 Cornets-Charles Hays, Fred Mo Cray, Nelson Owen, Monroe McKen- non, Horace Doak, George Downing, Eugene Policeman and Joseph Schichtl
 Baritones-Paul Waldrip and Fred Taylor.
 Tuba-J. M. Hill.
 B flat Bass-Elmer Mum.
 Trombones-Oswald Burr, Byron Bennett and Albert Wilson.
 Tenors - Forest Osburn, George Reynolds and J. l.. Taylor.
 Altos-J. C.Cabe, Jess Legg, Lynn Jimerson, and Julian Little.
 Altos-Arvor Ledbetter, M. H Greenlee and E. w. Pendergrass. Solo William Mitchell.
 Drums-R. F. Shinn, Carter Jen- kins, Donald Laveck and J. o. Mich Iell.-Hendrix Bulldog.

TEN HOURS ON THE ROADS.

Commendation of the recent an nouncement of County Judge Holt that Faulkner county road overseers must henceforth work 10 hours a day is found in several Arkansas newspa- pers this week The following is from the Clinton Democrat:
 If we mistake not this eight hour practice is largely followed by over seers in this county. But where an overseer employs a hand for private work he invariably exacts the. full 10 hours as days work. If 10 hours is the standard time for private em- ployment and $1 day the standard wages, we can see no valid reason why one working for the public should expect shorter time than when work ing for private individuals
 "Take a crew of six hands working eight hours at $1 day and the hour ly wage is 12 1-2 cents. Working 10 hours each hand would put in an ad- ditional two hours, or 12 hours all told, worth $150 to the county or the equivalent of one and one-half days work for one hand. At this time when the question of retrenchment and reform is uppermost in the mind of all is it not probable that oppor- tunity for practical economy is afford. ed here as elseWhere?

HENDRIX LIBRARY GROWS
MANY VALUABLE AND RARE VOLUMES ADDED DURING
 SUMMER.

Hendrix College library continues to grow by gifts and by purchases. Another new book case which will hold about five hundred books has been added to the library this year, to make room for the additions in the history section. Our library is becoming very much crowded, until we shall soon have to have library building. A new build ing is needed any way, for should we have fire, Hendrix College might loose her 15,000 volumes of books.
 About seventy-fve new books have been bought this fall already, mainly for the History and English depart ments.
 Hendrix College is also depository for government books, and nearly one hundred volumes were added dur ing the summer.
 Several files of periodicals have re- gently been sent to the binders, and we have a large stock room full of unbound periodicals, news papers, College and University catalogues, ct cetera.
 Hendrix library received during the summer some valuable gifts Mrs. Geo. w. Hill gave nearly one hun dred volumes of books which belonged to her husband and her brother. Many of these are very valuable for reference work in Hebrew and Greek. Several of these are biographies of eminent men, particularly methodist. There are other rare books among them which are out of print and diff ficult to obtain
 Mrs. Noe presented the library with nearly a complete file of Confed- crate Veteran from 19OO-19O9 These are valuable, only a few being mis- sing for ten years.
 MT. D. O. Harton added to his many previous gifts to Hendrix library complete file of The Man ufacturers Record for 1914. This is very valuable weekly periodical devoted to business in the south.
 Others who have contributed one or two volumes are Rev. Cademan Pope one volume, Frank J. Firth two volumes, T. J. Newson one volume, and the Canada Census Office one volume.
 The library appreciates these gifts from her friends.
 The librarians, B. O.. Womble, w. R. Stephens and Roger Stevenson, of 1913-14 are still holding forth this year and doing we'll

THE CHINESE WOMAN.

man writing for men, a student writing for students, sociologist and not a missionary, said recently: "All the railroads that may be built, all the mines that may be opened, all the trade that may be fostered cannot add half as much to the happiness of the Chinese people as the cultivation of the greatest of their undeveloped re- sources-their womanhood."
 It is difficult for us to come to a true estimate of Chinese womanhood. because of the immensity of the pop ulation and diversity of conditions. One-fifth of the women of the world are born in China
 Standing in the doorways of a hundred million novels, homes and palaces, there as many women beckon- ing you to come and show them what home should be, what motherhood may be, what home-training can do toward the making of life and the shaping of nation. You are the only ones who can do it, for men are shut out of the home life of the women. Will you go, or send?"- Missionary Voice.
 The extraordinary proclamation of President Wilson, calling An the American people to pray for peace in the old world on October 4, will meet with hearty and fervent response, as sincere as the t one of the solemn and urgent proclamation. The United States stands ready to help war stricken Europe in every possible way. It has already offered it's good offices to the belligerent nations to bring about peace, but so long as the warning nations have no disposition nor desire for peace, it must wait and watch and pray. Christians have not used to the fullest the precious privilege of microscopy prayer for other nations. It is well for us at this time to remember Mir. John R. Motts declaration that the primary need of our age is for intercessors. He says: Tt is my belief that two hundred men-yes, one hundred men of pure heart, unselfish motive, and unwavering faith in the integrity, om- impotence, love and present-day work ing of the living God, could through intercession usher in an era like unto that vital age, the age of Apostolic Christianity. ."-Christian Observer.
 The present prosperous condition of the First Baptist church of Conway is due very largely to the splendid la bors of her last two pastors, Rev. J. J. Hurt and Rev. Otto Wilmington. The wise planning and conservative preaching of the one laid strong and deep the foundations and set the pace for the working of the various organ izations of the church; while the evangelistic and doctrinal tone of the preaching and the pastoral work of the other has made it possible for the church to show great gains along all lines fostered by the church and de- nomination.
 It is needless to say that the new church building has great factor in the upbuilding of both church and Sunday school. Small plans can pro- duce but small results The large plans, too large some said, proved none too large from the day of the

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-An Associat

lean birth who was caught in Brussels
at the time of the German investment
and held prisoner for several days,
mailed his experiences wnicn were re-
ceived here He said the Beigians were
much frightened at the stories of the
German atrocities, but after the Ger
mans arrived the stories dissolve in
to one of the myths which have ac-
companied all wars"
The correspondent said that so far
as he was able to learn from investiga-
tions the worst behavior was when a
German soldier leaned from his horse
and kissed pretty Flemish girl
THE night before the Germans ent-
cred Brussels, he wrote, when the Bel
gian civil guards and refugees began
pouring into the city from the direction
of Louvain, they brought stories of un-
speakable German atrocities and NAL
treatment of old men and children and
the violation of women.
In less than "a hours Belgian citi-
Zens were chatting comfortably with
the German invaders and the allegation
of German brutality and demonaical
torture was Dissolved as one of the
myths which accompanied all wars.
Neither in Brussels nor in its envir-
ons was a single offensive act, so far
as | know. committed by German SOL
diers. In city of over half a million
people, invaded by a hostile army of
perhaps a quarter of a million soldiers,
no act sufficiently fragrant to demand
punishment or to awaken protest came
, TO my attention.
''The frightful reports that preceded
the German army into Brussels molud-
ed the disemboweling of old men, the
impaling of children on lances, just
outside of Louvain. Investigation not
only failed to substantiate these rum
ors. but did not even discover any one
in the immediate vicinity who cred
tied them. An eye witness of unim-
peachable veracity told me that Che
worst behavior he observed during the
first German entry into Louvain on

STATE FORESTS
This Commonwealth VIII
Benefit to Extent of
$120,000 from Years Re-

Timbered Lands

WASHINGTON, Sept 16-Arizona
will benefit to the extent of about
100000 from the past fiscal years
receipts from national forests in the
state This includes, however more
than $4,000 received from the sale of
timber from state school lands, but
logged under the regulations of the
forest service. The figures have just
been compiled by the department of
agriculture. The total receipts from
Arizona's national forests were $2S4,-
323.94, derived almost equally from
lumber and range, with something
over $4,000 in receipts from various
special uses and from water power
development. Deducting the $780,
730.5S received from timber sold from
school lands and returned to the state
for the benefit of its school fund,
the receipts from the federal forest
land amounted to $253,59336
Under the law 25 per cent of this
is returned to the state to be ex-
pended in the counties in which the
forests are situated, for the benefit
of schools and roads. This amounted
to S63,39S.34 An additional 10 per
cent. of the receipts is expended To-
cally by the secretary of agriculture
for roads and trails for the conven-
ience of the public. The contribu-
ton of Arizonas forests to this road
fund is $25.359.34, making the total
sum by which the state benefits
through federal administration of the
national forests $119,4SS.26. This is
the second largest sum which any
state can show. Montana, which had
far the largest national forest timber
sales, is about $4,000 ahead of Ari-
zona
The total receipts from all national
forests throughout the country
amounted to nearly two and a halt
