Fine Farm Products.

Last week Kelly Dillender aud
!. w. 4 REYNOLDS of the Dermott
Realty Company made visit TO
the farm of w. +. Daniels and
Son IN search of products for dis
play purposes. While there they
were shown and were given some
samples OF wheat and oats that
were very fine. 1t has been SAID
repeatedly that wheat Will not
grow this far south, but the sample
on display IN the offices OF the
Dermott Realty Co. are the equal
OF any wheat OF oats grown IN any
OF the northern states.
The wheat would easily average
thirty bushels per acre, and the
oats are as tine as eau be. almost
as high as an average sized man,
and has very heavy heads.
There IS no reason why oats
and wheat should not play a very
important part in the crops OF
Chicot county, as they are both
ready for the market early in the
season; besides with wheat grown
here il would only be short time

Bridge Badly Needed.

For the first time in about twelve
years, w. d. Trotter last week
took drive through the territory
lying west Of Dermott, and says
that there are in that section hun
dreds Of acres of as fine land as be
ever saw. One serious disadv
tage, however, is its inaccessi-
bility. Going from here, one has
to so 10 the Baxter bridge and
back-a distance of six or eight
miles-in order to reach land lying
a mile from Dermott. This
could be easily overcome by
putting a bridge across Bayou
Bartholomew near the county line
at the Dermott Land & Lumber
Co.'S mill, the expenses 10 be
borne By the two counties and
public subscriptions. This would
be OF inestimable benefit not only
to Dermott but to renters and land
owners in that section as we'll, as
it would make their lands more
desirable, give them better
market for their cotton and other
products, and give them access to
two good gins and other cosmo-
politan advantages, including the
unexcelled railway advantages
which Dermott is fortunate enough
to have. This matter has been
talked of before but nothing definite
has ever been done. a movement
is atoot now, however which
promises to result in a bridge.

Sense in Choice of Shoes.

A little more horse sense and a little
less vanity in the matter OF selecting
footwear would be the means of saving
an immense amount OF discomfort, ner-
vous irritability, fatigue and in many
cases, actual suffering and permanent
lameness, says DR.. Harte, director OF the
department OF health and charities, in his
weekly bulletin.
The human foot is one OF the most
abused parts OF the body. he says. 1t
was never intended to be cramped. con-
stricted an otherwise distorted into ar
tincial shapes. as is often done nowa-
days. Such common Affections as corns
bunions, ingrowing nails, Hat feet and
other abnormalitics are expressions of
natures rebellion against in-fitting shoes
shoes should fit the foot" asserted
DR.. Harte. There should be no such
thing as pain and suffering during the
'breaking-in' of a pair OF shoes. Shoes
that are too large are as bad as those
that are too small. The heel of the foot
should lit snugly in the shoe. while the
toes should be given just room enough
TO spread out fat and permit free move
ment. The great toe should he in a
straight line with the instep and not
cramped inward toward the other toes
For the protective power Of the shoe
in damp weather. DR. Harte advises the
application to the sole of a little vase
line, CosmOline. or linseed oil. This he
says. will make the leather more water
proof and will increase its fexibility and
wearing power.-Philadelphia Public Led

Doing Without Shoulder Badges.

One item which will total into a very
considerable sum in pounds, shillings and
pence after the war will be the renewal
OF the metal shoulder badges which are
the only distinguishing mark of the Brit
ism shoulder in khaki. These badges have
an irresistible attraction for the female
population of France, and in towns where
British troops have been all the women
and children are garnished with brooches
prCClaiming their adherence TO some unit
Of the British army. One may even see
grave town councillors Earbed as to the
arm with ribbon of Office and decorated
IN the 0uttonhOle with a Highland Light
Infantry badge.
Occasionally the simple soldier is too
much for the fair Frenchwoman, When
certain details were brought to a French
port ON the evacuation of Ostend, only
one among a crowd of British army SER
vice corps men retained his shoulder
badges. He was at once surrounded by
band of sirens who claimed them No,
no" said the private, they were given
me by an officer. who asked me to keen
them always in memory Of him." Per-
haps the unit which has preserved its
badges most successfully is the London
Scottish. AS one Of them explained, mis-
captain held a company inspection ana
decreed the direst penalties should an
other man appear without his badges and
81 the plague was stayed.-Mancheste

Prof. Taft and the Crank.

Former President Taft defines a crank as an
optimist who wants and expects to realize his
ideals before breakfast. This is optimistic def
milton, but it will hardly be accepted as applying
to the great body Of cranks who persecute with
their schemes or ideals, with the insistence that
they open up the only way to salvation. At this
season all need to be optmists with the faith
that ideals will develop and conquer the world
notwithstanding war, pestilence and famine. Our
Christian civilization was developed by optimists,
in following the great Optmst of all time. 1t was
the cranks who cried cruelty them, and they have
been utterng that pessimistc cry since. With
Difference to the learning, wide experience and
present profession of Prof Taft, we prefer the
Century Dictionary definition of crank: "a per-
son whose mind is iIl-balanced or awry; one who
lacks mental poise; who is subject to crotchets
whns, caprices or absurd or impractcable notions;
especially person of this sort who takes up some
one impracticable notion or project and urges in
season and out of season: mono-maniac."
That is the personality have all learned to
associate with the crank, and we, in Washington,
have had more experience with him than any other
people in Christendom, for this is a sort of world
exchange for crank ideas brought here to be en-
bodied into the law, without examination, study, or
consideration, but to be tried experiments on
the most patient people in the universe. The
cranks come singly in groups and in swarms, like
grasshoppers, and they all see no other salvation
for the country than by the adoption of what they
call their ideals. Their only optimism is over their
particular experiments. They pessimistic about
everything else, for they know that all 60
ing to the damnation bow-wows if Congress does
not at once reverse the lever and start the ma
chinery to grinding out new laws and new constitu-
tions, made after the models presented.
The Patent Office is a great curiosity shop
where cranky inventions submitted, but it pre-
sents no greater variety than do the bill rooms of
the Senate and House of Representatives. Prof
Taft might sit down for few moments of remi-
niscence, going back only half dozen years, to
revise his definition of the crank. He will then
class the crank pessimist and adopt the vaude-
vile definition:
Between optimist and pessimist,
The difference is droll
The optimist sees the doughnut
The Pessimist sees the hole

Political Sagacity Wins.

Members of Congress, in defeating the Hobsou
resolution calling for nationwide prohibition last
night voted the convictions of their constituents
as well as their own economic foundation.
The presentation of the moot question in the
form offered yesterday left them no choice under
form of government of which every test demon
states anew the wisdom. Aside from its Bearing
upon the personal and protected rights of free
people, prohibition imposed upon sovereign States
by proportionate representation in central body
would have been fragrant violation of the spirit in
which this government was conceived, and this
consideration played leading part in urging the
defeat of the Hobson amendment
= In contest between hysteria and political
economy, the latter won through last nights vote.

Rules of tDebutantism." /"

An out-of-town exchange publishes inter
view with an unnamed but professedly popular
and attractive debutante Said debutante complains
of the apparent lack of mental equipment she has
found among her sister buds Quoting from
exchange:
How do l like my season? Well, 1 must con-
fess | never have been so disappointed in human
nature as l have been through association with
other debutantes. / have been to perhaps dozen
debutante luncheons, in addition to the necessary
coming-out teas, and many dances and dinners
as mother would permit
The girls seem to have no matter for converse
ton except their Clothes how much they have been
able to sleep each night, to say nothing of the
most inane personalities and aimlesS talk Why,
it is even useless to attempt to introduce discus
sion that would require any real mental effort or
intelligent understanding.
Understand me, do not regret my debutante
season. | do not decry the custom of formal
presentations and the association of debutantes
type which many of those l meeting con-
stantly represent, discredits the custom.
And it ran on, protesting that the fault was
not with the game, but the players
"Debutantism-as is true of most practices or
games not conducted for a particular type-is
governed by the limitations and requirements Of
the average girl, of an average number of years,
of average mental equipment, involving average
of originality and practical sophistcation.
Obviously, this young does not fit in
with this average Her quarrel is not with the
debutantes with whom she has come into con-
tact, but with "debutantism" itself She doesn't
like the game under the existing rules These
rules were made to fit the average player, and
her debutante associates are following the rules
because they are the rules.
No doubt the greater part of them find the
rules perfectly agreeable and convenient.

the minds of the passive observer OF present-day
conditions to the need of action. At tremen-
dous expense he has aroused Philadelphia to what
he deems is the needs Of the hour and. regardless
of all comment, the following editorial from the
Philadelphia Public Ledger is significant of the
manner in which his advent is regarded;
| Billy Sunday known formally as the Rev.
William A. Sunday D. D.. is coming to Philadel-
phia to deliver his message He is not coming
of his own accord but in response to an invitation
from several hundred clergymen, laymen, and
churches. His message will startle Philadeiphia,
for sometimes it is like the thunder and lightning
of mountain Storm although at others it is as
sweet and refreshing as a gentle spring rain upon
the lowland fields. But it is the message OF a
strong man, fearless man, an utterly earnest man.
However much people may differ from sunday,
they invariably to respect him, because he IS
transparency sincere and elementally simple. He
breaches the Gospel with all the vim and vigor
with which he used to play baseball.
Billy Sunday must be. judged by results. He
Is not theologian, and does not profess to be
a polished scholar. His words and the manner
grip the conscience. If court of law could be
constituted and evidence submitted from the vari-
Gus cities in which he has conducted reyivals, tens
of thousands of witnesses would be willing to tes-
tfy that under his preaching their lives have been
changed the chains of evil habit were broken, the
fires of passion quenched, the craving for liquor
removed.
Employers of labor testify that the Billy Sun
nomic influence alone. Workmen become sober
industrious, and ambitious. They hit the trail
and then without shame live religious life, as if
it were the natural and only life to live. Men and
women of every kind, from the wealthiest, most
exclusive and highly educated down to the out
cast and the neglected, participate in the move
ment and proclaim their gratitude for benefits re-
ceived. None is compelled against his will to par
ticipate. As Philadelphia is city of generous and
broad-minded tradition, whose who cannot share
the enthusiasm of She meetings will ungrudgingly
give the right of way to those who do.
One of the most noticeable results OF the Sun
day meetings elsewhere has been stupcndous
interest in the study of the Bible. Within the
churches and in outside and often unlikely places
large number of classes for Biblical research
started, and in consequence tens of thousands of
men and women become intimately ac-
quainted with the sacred book. And multitudes
their lives to fighting booze If the results
in Philadelphia commensurate with those OBJ
tanned in other places this city will be stirred it
has not been since the days when George White
field preached in its streets And all good men
and women will give Billy Sunday hearty well
come, whether they agree with all Of his views
and methods not, and will wish that his work
may bring great moral stimulus to the city.
