THE STORY OF A PHRASE.

The old saying that "There's many 2 slip 'twixt the cup and the hp, originated with a poor slave. It was prophesized of a king, and the pro nhency was fulfilled. When Ancaeus was king of Samos in the Grecian Archipelago, he planted an extensive vineyard, and oppressed his slaves SC heavily in it's cultivation that one oi of the bolder ones prophesied that he would never live to taste any ol the wines. .,,
 The king laughed and had the slave beaten. Then at last. when the wine was made, he sent for the slave to witness him drink the first glass % of if in order to show him that the nronhecy was false. When the serv- ant appeared, the king. raising ms class of wine, said: "What do you think of your prophecy now"
 "There is many sllp v cwlA. ondt uae and lip., was the answer. The woros were scarcely uttered when Ancaeus was informed that wild boar nae broken into the vineyard and was rnining it. Dropping the wine un tasted the king hastened to tne scent in drive out the boar, but ne wa' wa killed in the encounter, ana en' slaves prophecy was fulfilleo'-HA change.

CONFIDENT OIL

Faith Man Believes It Is Only Necessary to Go Deep
 Enough to Get "Grease."

That oil exists in Jefferson county and that it is only necessary to drill deep enough to find it, is the belief of Franz Zangerl of Faith, who writes Col. J. w. Merriam as follows: :
 Faith, Ark, Dec. 3, 1914. Col. J. w. Merriam,
 Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
 Dear Sir:-You asked me repeatedly to write you my opinions concerning further development in the search for Oil and gas on my land near Faith and in Jefferson county generally. There is not much to be said unless you expect me to repeat in writing what l told you personally on our last meeting in Pine Bluff:

COUNTY AGENT AND
 PROFITABLE FARMING
Community Improves in Proportion as Farming Is Made
 Profitable.

The county agent Is part of a
 great agricultural movement This ! movement has for it's ultimate pur pose the building up of country life that shall be wholesome, attractive. cultured, efficient, and profitable. There are many sections of our country today that have one or more Of these conditions, but the sections where all are found in happy unison are comparatively few The desire of those who are thinking on rural problems is that rural communities } ev.lywhere shall be wholesome, at tractive, and cultured, and that each individual shall receive a fair re-
 ward for the labor done and the capi- tal invested. The county agent has enc dominant part in this program. While he may take other parts, his p1lmary function is to help make agriculture efficient and profitable. In proportion as agriculture is made profitable will the community become attractive, cultured, and place wholesome and desirable to live in.
 Just what is meant by profitable agriculture? Simply this: There sha be a reasonable return on the capital invested in farming and a reasonable return for the farmers labor and managerial ability. A farmer, like any other man in any other business. is entitled to just what he earns and no more;< but what he earns should hc sufficient to give him and his family some of the more essential ccnyeniences of modern life, time for study, some recreation, and opportun- ity for education for his children. With some money in his pocket the farmer will support the church, place ccrveninnces in his house. magazlnes and literature on sitting-room table ar send his children to the pest schools with very little outside prompting.

should be used to induce the public 10 avoid congestion by distributine the mailings over as many days be- fore Christmas as possible. It should be advertised especially that parcels may bear the words. Not 10 be open ed until Christmas, or similar in scription.
 "The timcliness of gifts depends upon their being received on OF be- fore Christmas. Early mailing will insure this, whereas the practice Hf mailing packages late in the hope that they will reach their destination on Christmas day, is likely to defeat ii ! own object through unavoidable delay due to the consequent congestion Of the mails
 The department is urging patrons to register or insure valuable pack ages and to send money always by money order. "If your mail is to go out of town write the state plainly. There are 20 other Washingtons be sides Washington, D. C., and thera are 23 towns named Franklin, e,c." says one circular. Send your par cels by parcel post much cheaper as a rule, and always quicker" says another poster.
 The varioues express companies, too are trying to assist the sender Of Christmas packages. The Wells Fargo company. for instance, has adopted novel idea in supplyn% each sender Of Christmas package with a Christmas postal card, tc be mailed separately, on which are the words: "Am sending you by Welli- Fargo express. prepaid a holiday TO memberance. Please do not open till Christmas" with blank line for sig nature.
 This company is also using spe- cial "Christmas address tag" for all Christmas express packages, with the words, "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" special red tag, directing that the package be not opened until Christmas goes on each package.
 The Adams and Southern express companies have taken similar action. eve are, of course. urging the pub lie to ship carly" said General Agent G. H. Killion of the Adams company Our Christmas shipments begin to move to far-west points as early az the 10th and 18th of December. and 2 large part of the shipping is nov ] done by the public before the 18th O. 2Oth of December even for nearby points. This has been due 10 the education of the public through the press as to the desirablity of getting l their nackages into the express early

One day two German officers un- armed left the trenches, and held uI their hands. They were met by two French officers, to whom they posed that each side should leave tho other in enjoyment of his works, fol it was absurd to go on indefinitely de stroying the same construction.
 "Done," said the Frenchmen.
 Before separating, the officers ex- changed newspapers, and one of the Bavarians, said:
 Our time is up. We do not know what troops will take our place, bu, if they are Prussians I advise you no to trust them. By the by," he added eff they are Prussians, we will le you know by sticking bits of white paper on the barbed wire defending our trenches"

BUFFALO BILL LEADS
 RED GROSS SEAL SALE
Old Scout and Business Men of Cody,
 WyO., Agree to Stamp Each Package.

Buffalo Bill' and the business men of Cody, Wyoming, where he lives, have agreed this year, as they did last, that every piece of mail which goes out of the town during the month of December should bear a Red Cross Christmas seal.
 Last year, led by Buffalo Bill, they purchased 22,50O seals-a record which will probably go unbeaten in this country for the greatest use Of seals per capita. Cody has popula- tion of about 1900 and the seals pur- chased mean that they used nearly twenty per capita.
 Is your town going to sell five or ten for each inhabitant? If not, why not?

Paris, Dec. 19.--An aviator who hnc just returned from a part of the front where the French are or were, op- posed by Bavarian troops, tells Of an extraordinary sort of entente over a spring between the lines.
 It is the only spring of fresh water in the neighborhood At first by tacit consent French and Bavarians drew water at different hours without molesting ~one another. Gradually they became more friendly. chose the same hours. exchanged the time of day and offered one another to- bacco. They even took coffee to- gether sometimes. All the while inc Germans regularly destroyed a de fence work which the French reGul- arly reconstructed day by day and the French destroyed a redoubt which the Germans as often rebuilt.

HARVARD PROFITS
 FROM FOOTBALL
Nine Games Net Crimson Association $180,O00-Ex-
 penses $20,OOO.

Harvard profits from football ... ..
 From nine football games this fall, Harvard made a profit of nearly $lS0,000. The game in the new Yale Bowl meant $69,00o and the battle with Princeton, $4O,000 as the Grim son share. II is estimated that the Michigan game provided $2o,00o and the contest with Washington and Jeff ferson produced $20,000. Harvard's share of the Penn State game was about 5000 while four other con- tests. with Brown, Tufts. Bates and the Springfield Y M. (. A. resulted in the placing of about $23,00o to Harvard's credit.
 Figuring Coach Haughton's salary at $10,000, the expenses of the varsity eleven and Substitutes amounted to more than 1000 as follows:

 Six standard varieties of turkey ex- lst today in the United States-bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, white, black, But the great bronze turkey takes first place. This bird is noted not on- ly for it's size but for it's beauty as well. A full grown turkey of this species sometimes weighs as much as fifty pounds. and is a wonderful con- bination of bronze, black, copper and gold.
