HONORABLE MENTION

The following paragraph rom report by Gen. Sterling Price, Writ ten from Camden, Ark, in May ls64, published in Series 1, Vol. AAXlV, o1 the Rebellion, carries mention Of our friends, Ben F. Scull, who was Ill the Home here last summer:
 "To my personal staff, consisting o1 Lieuts. R. T. Morrison and Celsius Price, assisted by Col. Washington L. Crawford, Capt. D. C. Cage. and Lieut.. B. Scull, as volunteers, l apl particularly indebted for the prompt and accurate manner my orders were transmitted to the various commands Of these, Lieutenants Scull and Price with my orderly (Private D. kava- naugh,) particularly distinguished themselves at Jenkins Ferry, by re- spending with alacrity to call fol volunteers to reconnoiter the enemy'S position, riding eooly up to their ranks and receiving a heavy volley which disclosed the Federal liners but unfortunately took effect upo: Lieutenant Scull francturing his leg which was afterward amputated.'
 Veteran Scull carries proof of thl' report, being bereft of one foot ant considerable part of the leg. He is now with a daughter in Pine Bluff. CONFEDERATE VETERAN.

for two seasons he did not report in shape in the spring and had harder time getting than if he had played basketball three or fours nights a week.
 Wagner's worst year with the club was when he did not play basketball in the winter. Wagner had a bad year in 1913, and much interest was cen- tered in the great shortstop's play ing this spring, as it was doubted whether he would be able to hold his own.
 After the season closed last fall he began playing basketball and with the exercise he obtained in that sport got the leg that was lame all last summer back to it's normal condition again.
 When he reported to Clark in Hot Springs in March, the question of whether he would be an asset to the club was soon decided for he got out and within a short time showed near ly as much speed as he ever display ed, and he attributes it all to the playing of basketball.

---Os2sO- ENCOURAGING FLOWER GARDENINE

One of the prettiest public move ments of recent years has been the competition established in many places, for the beautifying of home grounds with flowers and shrubbery. A wonderful transformation can be made in a small estate by little tasteful work. A raw and Weedy lawn is temptation to the children of the neighborhood to turn it into a sand pit. When you get flowers start ed, even the kidlets can be made to see the necessity of keeping off. Children almost Invariably like flow CTS, and are willing to help raise them.
 In this way the most unpleasant parts of a town can be made the most attractive. A little cottage surround
 ed by grass and flower beds attracts more interest than a handsome mans ion. In the former case the impress sion is given that it is the personal work and love for beauty of the own
 CTS. In the case of the wealthy
 estate, it is too evidently the paid
 work of hired men.

THIS IS PEACE DAY.

This has been designated as Peace day by the Federal Council Of the Churches of Christ in America, and ministers of every denomination throughout the entire United States will offer prayers for peace and the su cess of the mediation conference. Sermons on international peace and arbitration will be delivered in all cities.
 The ministers have been asked to advocate on this occasion the calling of a third general peace. conference at The Hague. This is the nearest Sunday to May IS, the anniversary of the founding of The Hague peace tribunal in 1899.
 The Federal Councils commission on peace and arbitration represents thirty denominations with 17,000,000 ministers to speak for arbitration to- day, the Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland. secretary of the commission, says:
 "The last two years have witnessed some sad examples of conflict lust, and human hatred. Over three hun dred thousand have been killed Ill the Balkan states and during this very year thousands of women and little children have frozen and starved to death and in the end all concerned are infinitely worse off than ever be- fore. The Balkan affair is a striking exhibition of the futility of war as a means of settling international dis putes and securing the common veal. The unspeakable atrocities of these two years of carnage should surely convince Christian people that war is contrary to Christian civilizatio1.' y
 Monday will be observed as Peace day in the public schools of the country

HANS WAGNER
 BASKETBALL PEND
Claims Playing of Basket ball in Winter Keeps

Pittsburgh, May 1.-Two years ago National League magnates issued an order prohibiting their ball play CTS from engaging in the game of basketball during the winter. They contended that there were too many chances for injuries, that it stiffened the muscles of the legs, and that 1t caused the players to slow up for work on the field.
 Hans Wagner of the Pittsburgh team, is one player who was request ed to stop the game, as Barney Dreyfuss thought it was injurious to his legs. The famous shortstop did not think so, however, but decided to lay off He is remarkable basket ball player and ranks as one of the best in the professional leagues in Pennsylvania. He is manager of a club himself in the winter, plays one of the guard positions. and is wiz ard owing to his speed, strength and accuracy in shooting baskets.

TALKS OF THRIFT THRIFTY HOME GARDENERS

There is but one practical solution
 of the high cost of living, and tha is 10 raise your own produce. Int home garden in great measure vii do it and do it effectively. It vii stop the paving of money to tht vegetable man. and the grower-s big saving. And those who are SC situated that they can raise thei] own poultry and eggs, milk and but ter and pig or two for winters meat with a change now and then from pork to poultry, may be said to be directly on the line of inde- pendence. with every cause of the high cost of living completely block ed.-D. D. Lynch, St. Paul.
 The recent extension of the parcel post system, making provision for the direct delivery of farm produce from the producer to the consumer, is a long step in the right direction to- ward reducing the high cost of liv- ing, as it will tend to eliminate the great army of middlemen, now be- each of whom must have his "bit'' added to the final cost before it reaches the consumer.
 But this alone will not reduce the high cost of living, for it is not at all likely that the farmer will con- tinue to sell his produce at the pres ent price, when he finds the middle man removed, but will proportion ately raise the price. So the delivery direct from the producer to consum- CT eventuallY will prove of greatest benefit. to the farmer.
 Perhaps it is only a matter of time when every man of family who de- bends upon his daily wage will be forced to press into producing serv- ice a portion of his back yard, even though he may have but a single lot, as a plot for a home garden, to re- duce the present cost of living.
 And right now is the time to con- sider this matter if you are going to do anything in the home gardening line this year, raising vegetables to lower your individual cost of living and to enable you to have a larger margin of savings in the bank. The seed companies will furnish you with catalogs and at the hard ware store you can get the few nec- essary tools. Then go to work. You will learn by experience, and your health and your appetite will improve while you turn barrenness into beauty and your backyard desert in- to an oasis of productiveness. And here is hint which you Will find valuable if you really want to save money by means of your home garden-plant and cultivate not only those things which you can eat right out of your garden during the sum- mer, but also some vegetables that you can store away or preserve TOT winter use, such as potatoes, tona- toes. beets, carrots, beans and par snips
 Hire as little help as possible. Let most of the work be done by your self and your family, if you want tc make your garden pay.
 And as you watch things grow un' der your care, consider likewise how your bank account will grow witt
 your constant attention and the com
 pound interest which the bank pays
