THE THINKER.

THE THINKER.
Back OF the beating hammer
BY which the steel is wrought,
Back of the workshops clamor,
The seeker may find the Thought.
The Thought that is ever master
OF iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel!
The drudge may fret and tinker
or labor with dusty blows,
But back of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who Knows;
For into each pillow or saber
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go to the Brains Of Labor
Which gives the work soul!
Back of the motors humming,
Back of the belts that sing,
Back of the hammers drumming,
Back Of the cranes that swing,
There is the eye which scans them,
Watching through stress and strain
There is the Mind which plans them
Back of the Drawn, the Brain.
Might Of the roaring boiler,
Force of the engines thrust,
strength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust
But back Of tn en- stands the Schemer
The Thinker who drives then
through,
Back of the Job-the Dreamer
Who's making the dream come true!
-Berton Braley, in the American Me-
chinist.

THE JIM CROW LAW

1t has been some years now since the people of Arkansas have paid any attention to Jim Crow laws, so successfully has the present one worked, but there is probability that the next leg islat ure will be asked to improve upon it, patterning after the Texas Jim Crow law. In Arkan- sas, as well as Oklahoma and and several other Southern states, there is no provision by which servants may accompany white passengers who have small child ren, in the capacity of nurse. Under the present law the rail- roads of the State are subject to a penalty every time a colored nurse is permitted to ride in a white coach, no matter how great the need of her. The law is often ignored in this particu- lar, and the railroad is reason ably safe from prosecution, for there has never been objection to the violation under such cir cumstances, but the companies desire the change so they are absolutely certain. Sentiment being so strong in favor of the colored nurses accomp anyin g their employers, there will hard ly be opposition to such an act if it is proposed.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE LITTLE ONE WAS
 AT PLAY W

Last Saturday in Sulphur Springs, Ark, little Lois Scriber, the granddaughter of MT. Mrs. l.. B. Scriber of Rogers, was instant- ly killed by discharging a loaded 22 rifle. The child was at the home of her parents, some few miles northeast of there, when the accident occurred. The gun had been borrowed by a friend who returned it loaded and cock ed. The weapon was placed be- hind a door, where it was soon found by the little girl. While examining it, the gun was dis charged.

NEW CAPITOL BUILDING

The people of Arkansas have a magnificent building, one which will stand for many years with out repairs being necessary ex- cept in plumbing or some minor detail, but before the grounds can be properly beautified or exten- ded, an appropriation of at least $500, 900 additional will be neces- sary. This sum would require the continuation of the State Capitol tax of Is mill for six more years, but would add to the Capitol l grounds the required six blocks of residences which now mar the beauty of the Capitol. the Capitol Commission will recom- mend to the legislature that the appropriate for this be made.

THE DOUGH MAN

The man with the hoe has been recognized by every age and na- tion as a fundamental source of prosperity, and while our litera- ture abounds with encomiums in his behalf, the half has never been told.
 But a man with the dough is equally as important at this period of our growth and development as the man with the hoe. At tempts have been made to dis credit him, but when it comes to building factories and railroads and large industrial enterprises which are necessary to our pros perity, we must face the man with the money and our destinies as a nation of influence and power are largely in his hands.
 It takes the man with the hoe and the man with the dough com bined to make civilization, and one is inter-dependent upon the other.
 What we need at this time is more men to help the men with the hoe.

KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME

Let's keep all our money at home by refusing to buy mer- chandise from mail order houses and itinerant, glib-tongued, con- scienceless fiy-by-nights. Let's produce our own food stuffs and quit paying tribute to the thrift of the Iowa and Illinois farmers who live in fine homes and ride in automobiles paid for by money sent them by southern farmers. It does not require a revolution to correct the mistakes of the past. A little judgment and head work, combined with an ample supply of loyalty to our own interests, will work the change in a remarkably short time.

LARGE EXPORTS TO WAR ZONE.

Space on vessels leaving New York for Europe is in great de- mand at present, as the railroads reaching that terminal have been crowded with all sorts of war SUD- plies. Thousands of horses and mules are being unloaded from Pennsylvania and New York Gen. tral trains. At one time there were 75 carloads of shoes, 60 car loads of knit goods, 100 carloads of saddles and harness, thousands of tons of barbed wires, great quantities of fur coats from Minnesota, 120 cars of auto trucks and 25 cars of caterpil- Gaction engines. Orders
 %be now in the hands of various manufacturers cover a daily output of 800 tons shrapnel material, $20, 100000 worth of vehicles; shoes, $2, 900, 900; swords and revolver sheaths' $1,- 900, 900, while the West is being secured for horses suitable for heavy cavalry work. A steel concern in Eastern Pennsylvania is believed to have orders total- ing $40, 900, 900.

SOME POULTRY HINTS

Allow the hens free range. Wire in the garden, not the hens.
 Stronger fertility is secured from birds on range.
 Remove male birds from the flock as soon as the matching season is over, so as to produce infertile eggs. E
 Infertile eggs are produced by hens having no male birds with them.
 lnfertile eggs keep much bet ter than those thatare fertile. ,.
 The male bird has no influence on the number of eggs laid.
 The hens greatest profit-pro- ducing period is the first and second years.
 February and Mareh@ ara tie tf e best matching months. Chicks matched during these months are freer from sore head than those matched later.
 Do not allow sitting hens to remain in the henhouse. By so doing many eggs are started to incubate, which renders them unfit for use at home or to mar lket.
 If possible place the brood coops near the cornfeld, which furnishes both shade and fresh ground.
 The free use of kerosene or crude petroleum on the roosts, dropping boards, in the cracks, and around the nests will exter- minate mites. Whitewas h is also good.
 Spray the brood coops once a week with some of these solu- tions and move to fresh ground.
 Be sure and feed the table scraps to the fowls. Milk is one of the best feeds for egg pro- duction.
 
 For additional information on poultry get in touch with your county agent and State agricul- tural college.

Suspect Foul Play
 in Clark Mystery
ED CLARK AND MISS BERTHA PARSONS, HELD FOR
 DEATH OF MRS. CLARK

Edward Clark and Miss Bertha Parsons, 20 years old, are in the county jail at Jasper await. ing a grand jury probe of Mrs. Clark's mysterious death Novem. Der 19. Mrs. Clark was buried at Altamont, Kans. It is said the body will be exhumed and a post-mortem held prior to the meeting of the grand jury in January.
 Clark and the girl were held to the grand jury following a hear ing before Justice T. G. Tender son last Thursday. Deputy Pro- scouting Attorney E. E. Ammons assisted by A. L. Kinney of Green Forest, conducted the hearing. The defendants were represented by w. T. Cleeton of Cleveland, Okla., and by Spears & Smith of Jasper.
 It was shown that Clark and his wife and two children, three and four years old, respectively, and Miss Parsons came to Newton county about November 1. They went to a shack near George post office, Osage township, and camped. It was shown that on morning of November 19 Clark took Miss Parsons and the two children and went to a store about eight miles distant. Mrs. Clark was left at home. Late the same day the party returned 4 The home and shortly after
 I'd neighbor was notified by CMtk It his wife was i'll.
 Clark walked to the neighbours home about one and one-half miles from his home. On the re- turn Miss Parsons, it was shown, met Clark with the announce ment that Mrs. Clark was dead. Immediatly, it was shown, Clark telephoned for a physician and an undertaken to come from Green Forest.
 However, before the body was removed, Justice Sims conducted an inquest. Clark, Miss Parsons and the two children then went to Altamont, Kan, where the body was buried. Thence Clark and the girl left the children with Mrs. Clark's parents and went to Cleveland, Okla. At Cleveland they were arrested upon advices sent by the New ton county authorities.

The kdnsas City
 Livestock Market
CONDITIONS UNSATISFAcTo -AND PRICES DECLINE ALL
 ALONG THE LINE.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 7, 1914. The market closed last week in a healthy way on all classes except prime beef, steers and bulls, which remained inact- i've at the bottom of the recent decline.
 Receipts today are 1000 head, and sales are strong to 15 higher on all kinds except beef steers from S8 up, which class are slow and barely steady. Killers exert themselves strenuously to secure big rough steers at S7.50 and under, but claim the outlet for better is narrow. Missouri steers had an offer of $10.25 this morning, the best cattle here today. Bulls are half dol lar lower than two weeks ago, fair to good butcher bulls around $6.25. Colorado beef steers sold at S7.10 to $7.50, and some 700- pound stockers at S7.55. Some Gatewood heifers sold in the quarantine divisio n at S7.25, medium and common light steers $5.75 to S6.50. Stockers and feeders sold 10 to 15 higher to- day, stock calves worth $8 and upwards for best, choice yearl- ings SIPS to $7.5O, twos S7.10 to $7.35, plain stock grades $6 to S6.75, feeders $7 to $8.
 There are no changes in quar- antine regulations since the first of last week, Chicago and St. Louis operating under some re- strictions, which keep those markets at a disadvantage, and live stock from released sections of the quarantined area are be- ing handled with precaution at all markets.
 The flood of live stock out of the released counties has done little damage to cattle prices, but the hog market dropped 30 to 40 cents last week on account of it. There was some recovery at the end of the week, and the market opened 10 higher here today to order buyers, top S7.15. Packers bid 10 lower, but later bought their hogs steady with with the close of last week, bulk of sales S6.S0 to S7.0O. Receipts are only 6,000 here today, but packers found excuse for desir- ing lower prices in a run of 45, 900 at Chicago, with 10 lower prices there. Erratic markets are apt to develop during the next two or three weeks, or until the excess hogs have been mar keted from the states that were under quarantine.
 There were signs of break in lamb prices at the close of last week, but the big break came today, at least 50 cents on lambs, more in some cases. Pea fed lambs from Colorado brougt the top, $8, and pretty good lambs sold at $7.60 to $7.85. Sheep held almost steady, some Fit. Collins ewes, weighing 100 pounds selling at $4.80, not more than 10 lower. The immediate reason for the break today is AS, sheep centered at Chicago, the outpouring from Iowa and Wisconsin feed lots. The con- dition is regarded as temporary, supply statistics pointing to a firm market during the winter.

TRUE ADVERTISING

There promises to be gen. eral cleanup in advertising all over the world if the plans of the National Vigilance Commit tee go through. This commit tee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World has outlined a plan of action and is now urg- ing the aid of all persons con- nected with advertising. The policy, summed up in a few words, is "Progressiveness in thought and conservatism in action"
 The committee has a two-fold aim, not unlike that which is fostered by local advertising organizations. It hopes to in- duce advertising mediums to re- fuse untruthful advertising, and to inspire advertisers to be truthful. Along the same lines lit expects to make it impos- sible for mediums long to con- tinue to secure advertising by wrong methods, such as mis- statement of the value of medium or any influence other than pos sible returns.
 A national program committee for education has been con- stituted, which first of all is work ing through local adverti s in g clubs to have them create local vigilance comm ittees. Tn e national committee will furnish these clubs information regard ing practical methods of work and supply them with plans of other organizations. Co-opera- of local merchants, manufactur- CTS and papers is to be sought by the local committees.
 As a further step, an effort will be made to educate the public. By publicity in the trade press, newspapers and m a g a. zines; by public addresses before advertising clubs, civic and commercial bodies, business and trade conventions, and publish ers' associations; by lantern slide lectures; by distribution of prined matter; by truth in-. struction in advertising schools; by correspondence with new publications and violators of truth laws, and by assistance to officials who must enforce the laws the educational program will be carried out. Efforts will be made to secure further laws and then the enforcement of those laws.
 Advertising is rapidly ap- preaching a certain science. The movement for truth by all concerned, in the interest of all including the public should be continued.
