LAD fl, TURNS STOCKMAN
James Plank, Near Decatur, Makes
 Profit With Two Calves

A typical specimen of the coming Arkansas farmer is shown in the per son of James Plank, a boy living a mile west of Decatur. Although but IA years old, he believes Arkansas should feed herself and that farmers should abolish the single crop system and go in for live stock raising. With this object in view he bought two calves in the summer of 1913 as a be- ginner in the live stock industry. His elders shook their heads, saying they would eat their heads off over winter. He persisted, however, and finding it too late in the year to put out any feed for them, hired out to neighbor to pay thee ost of their winters keep.
 The calves wree put on pasture, where they were kept until late fall, when they were removed to the barn to eat his hard-earned feed. After a short wintr they were again transfer red to the pasture, where they grew rapidly at no expense. This fall the

 Last summer saw the first organized move on the part of Catholics look ing definitely toward the abolition of the liquor traffic. A conference of Catholics of the United States and Canada in the interests of prohibition was held at Niagara Falls and adopted most radical resolutions.

A VIEW OF HIMSELF.

The following story is going the rounds of the newspapers and is well worth passing on:
 A young man of fine family and splendid gifts was going down as fast as it was possible for man to go, through strong drink. His friends had pleaded with him, but he had taken their warnings as an insult. One of them, who was a court stenographer, was sitting in restaurant one eve ming when the young man in question came in with a companion and sat down with his back to him at the ad- joining table He was just drunk enough to be talkative about his pri- vate affairs, and on the impulse of the moment the stenographer pulled out his notebook and took a shorthand re- port of every word he said. It was the usual maudlin folly of young man with his brain muddled by drink and included a number of highly can did details of his daily life-things which, when he was sober, he would as soon have put his hand Tn the nre as speak about to a casual acquaint- ance. The next morning the ste nographer copied the whole thing neatly and sent it round to his office. In less than ten minutes he came tear ing in with, What is this, anyhow"
 It's a stenographic report of your monologue at the restaurant last eve ning," his friend replied, and gave him a brief explanation.
 Did I really talk like that?" he asked faintly.
 q assure you it is an absolutely yer batim report" was the reply.
 He turned pale and walked out. He never drank another drop.
