while the landing Of troops in Canada by
enemies OF Great Britain would not con-
stitute a violation Of the Monroe doctrine.
any effort to establish a new form OF

late that policy. Mr.. Taft said:
'All that the Monroe doctrine would
consistently require OF us would be to in
sist that when the war is over. II Ger
many were successful. she could not take
over the territory OF Canada and over
throw her government and establish her

ures which would have a similar effect
But We would not object to her eXacting
an indemnity II she were the victor"

her characteristic traits, and to her
friends one of her greatest charms.
AS the confidante of her father, Miss
Eleanor Wilson when the family lived
less in the public eye, was almost in
variably his companion on his long
walks.
Full of Energy
Tall and slender, with a willowy,
girlish figure, she is full of energy and
vim. She delights in dancing and
her easy mastery of the most difficult
o. the new dances has been generally
commented upon.
Mr. McAdoo is also a good dancer,
with Miss Eleanor as a partner. The
two are considered the most expert
and graceful opponents of the hesita-
ton waltz and the tango in Washing
ten. Dancing together frequently
they have mastered the intricacies Of
the new steps as few are able to do.
Fond of Society.
Miss Eleanor shows a greater fond
ness for society than any other mem
Der of the family. She delights in
dinners; she plays fine game of ten
mis- and with Mr., McAdoo as her OPP
ponent she spent much time last
spring on the courts at the white
house grounds She is fairly expert
with a sailboat, too. When last
spring the Washington Riding AMI
Hunt club invited the presidents
daughters into it's membership, Miss
Elsanor eagerly accepted and for
some time evinced the greatest in
terest in horseback riding, attaining
such proficiency in the management
OF her mount that she dared some
fairly stiff jumps.
While interested in civic welfare
problems she devotes little of her time
to forwarding such projects. Aside
from her interest in the preservation
of bird life, as evinced by her taking
part in the presentation of the
Sanctuary" both at its first perform
ance last summer at Cornish and at
its later presentation in New York a
few weeks ago, Miss Eleanor Wilson
follows no specified line of work.
While Miss Margaret Wilson and Mrs.
Sayre have from time to time taught
Sunday school, Miss Eleanor has con-
tented herself with attending services.
Neither has she undertaken to study
for degree nor made a move to at
tain collegiate education. Her
studies were conducted under the d.
racion Of her mother and later under
the supervision of tutors and in pri-
vate schools.
According to her friends she has
endured the restraints inflicted upon
presidents of the white house with
some Impotence. Her inabality to
prevail upon the president to permit
her to take part in a recent amateur
theatrical performance promoted for
charity, brought about stirring scene
at one of the rehearsals.

No more beautiful shade tree is
known than the English walnut. They
make comparatively no litter, have a
pure white bark on trunk and branches
very closely resembling that of the
silver birch, and bear a heavy foliage
with rich, glossy leaf. They are al
most immune from insect pests, a GER
tain aliki sap which they possess serv-
ing to drive away the parasites which
are so ruinous to the chestnut and
nearly all other fruit trees.

There is no way in which the
general public can be more easily
reached, or more favorably impressed
with the value of nut trees than by
their general use for ornamental pur-
poses. Aside from any crops produc-
ed, they embody more of the desirable
features of a street and yard shade
than do those commonly used, which
produce nothing but leaves. Judged
simply on the score of beauty of tree
and foliage, they rank high.

WITH t0t'PNtN
IN Schools OF GEORGIA
An Eight Year Course is
Prescribed

What should a boy or girl have ac-
quired in the seven or eight years
comprising the ordinary course in the
public schools? The largest percentage
of both stop with the course comprised
il. the grade work of the schools, the
smaller percentage going on through
high school, and a still smaller per-
centage taking a college course.
Therefore the work of the pupil in
the eight grades making up the usual
common or public school course is Of
the very greatest importance because
i: forms the equipment of the masses
for their life work.
Prof M. l. Britain, superintendent
of state schools, has given this mat
ter a great deal of careful thought. He
is himself an experienced teacher and
educator, man of broad scholarship,
and above all else, possesses practi
cal qualities that make any of his ut
terances on school work important
and authoritative.
Prof. Britain has worked out the
following as the equipment the boy or
girl should possess after finishing the
eighth grade work. His conclusions
he has embodied in the form of a cir
cular letter which will be sent to
teachers and educators all over the
state, he says:
Teachers, parents, as we'll as the
public generally, have the right to be
assured with something like certainty
that definite results follow from the
time and expense attendant upon the
seven or eight years of training in
toe public schools. These years #
labor should point to clear end and
aim if they succeed in endowing the
future citizens of the state with the
following qualifications they will
amply justify all the money and effort
expended:
Il Ability to speak and read the
English language with fair accuracy.
"2. Ability to write fair legi-
bility.
49, Ability to use the principles of
arithmetic in ordinary business trans
actions.
a. Ability to spell at least the
words used in ordinary discourse.
% To know enough geography to
appreciate current events and to know
something Of the nations of the world.
Sc To understand the leading facts
of American history, and to feel a
patriotic pride in the deeds OF our
fathers.
81. To know and appreciate the
value of physiology and hygiene
what it means to have a healthful body
and hygienic surroundings.
IS. To know something of the
plants, birds, trees and agricultural
life of the vicinity.
80. To write a business letter cor
rectly and to be able to give intelli-
gent reasons for opinions as to men
and measures.
40. To be honest, trustworthy,
obedient, truthful and polite"
There is much to ponder in the
above. The boy or girl measuring 10
to the standards fixed for the course OF
eight years will be citizens well worth
while

CENSORING THE WAR.

Never has any war news been held down so closely as in the present conflict During the Spanish war the story of every skirmish was fed out to the reporters about as soon as it happened. It made no great diffe "- ence, as the Spaniards were too in efficient to shape their campaign to meet our motions.
 The striking power of modern army must be enormously increaseh by this blanket of secrecy. There is something majestically omnibus in the fact that from five to ten mil lions of troops can be marched into battle array and position, with their location and destination unkonwE 10 the world.
 Whenever there is real battle, though, the force that wins will he quick enough to let the world know that it has scored. The newspapers fill the gaps with columns and columns of dispatches. They are all interesting, though the heart of inc story is left out. But news of the real Armagedon can not long be de- layed.

THE ETHICS OF .ROOTING,

To some cultured lovers of the bali field, the yelling of the bl-acher crowd, trying to rattle a visiting pitcher, is the decadence of true sport It is held to be the efscrt t.; win ball game by means other thal good ball playing. It sems like an unequal contest, with nine stripllnss in the arena conteniag aga1s; the united throats of hundreds or thous- ands of spectators.
 Sim,.arly, in connection with tine tennis matches for the Davis cup, there has been criticism of lack of courtesy of the spectators to the visiting Australian competitors. After travelling 10000 miles to compete for a trophy, it seems hard proposi- tion for one or two men to stand up against the active hostility of some thousands of people.
 In games like tennis or golf with but one or two contestants to side. It would seem as if the crowd E.igEt take It as more of a personal con test, and not view the stranger will, such positive dislike. But the Iary. team of contestants in ball game makes it essentially the battle of 'ae town, college, or school. against another. It is community struggle. each team representing the best ef- forts of the athletic element of that community, and being entitled to ;!e community backing. If there is ali element oI unfairness, it rvens up as the teams play on the different grounds.
 Actually the roofing is half the fun. 'unsuspected possibilities of wit and retort are developed. The com- ment Of the bleachers is quite as pertinent as the voice of the chorus in the Greek drama The American temperament would never be satisfied with the role of the silent on-looker.
 Star plays by visiting team ought to be well applauded. The man who truly loves athletic skill will ~. !, to recognize it wherever it is found

,s to depend upon and utilize our re-
 sources; to produce what we need' to
 manufacture our own goods.
 We of the South may expect sooA to
 see an end of the era when we ship
 abroad cotton to be manufactured in to domestic, calicoes, stockings and other stuff which we buy back at a price that carries profit to a dozen or more people, and living to hundreds.
 It may not be many months before Pine Bluff will be manufacturing cot ton goods, keeping at nome to support our own workers and upbuild Euro pean cities; money that has enabled the Europeans to wax fat at our ex- pense; practice that has, for inst ance, enabled little state like Bel gium to support more than 300 people 10 every square mile of it's territory. Belgium is less than one-third the size of Arkansas, but because it is a country of manufactures it is rich rich in people, in wealth, in art, i2 progress and even in arms. We can learn from the Europeans; the war is teaching Us to do so, and the best of it all is that We will learn.
 A cotton mill owner is expected here is few days to discuss the in Pine Bluff of cot ton goods plant. It is not unfair to say that it probably depends upon our own people whether Pine Bluff shall add cotton mill to it's long list of industries.

FARMERS SEEING
 A GREAT LIGHT By JOHN H. PAGE, Commissioner of Agriculture.

believe that the great majority of our farmers have realized the fact that there might be little shortage of money and feed this winter anu have made preparation. In my oplh- ion there has been and will be more oats. clovers. alfalfa and like crops sown in Arkansas this fall than ever before. I have a very interesting let ter from one of our South Arkansas farmers, who says, ill part, "NeVer Ill my life have 1 been so thoroughly convinced that I ought to abandon old practices, as I have this summer
 I have fine corn and 1 got it by prep 1, aration and then almost continuous shallow cultivation. l have peas Iii the middIes and expect to sell quite a few bushel. I am going to use every acre of land 1 can for some Win I ter crop. 1 will have some alfalfa some turf oats, some clover and l want few acres of rye. l have found that my land is better taken care Of and I save money and corn and l have something to turn under in the spring. I see now the mistakes l have made in the past"
 Such reports are coming in from every section and in many csaes the farmers are making extensive prepar- ations for winter feed crops. The Judsonia Truck Growers association asked the department to help locate car of turf oats for fall seeding. Ar kansas farmers will not be in very bad need of stock feed this winter, regardless Of the price of cotton or the yield of corn. Certainly those farmers who are making their plans for rye, oats, alfalfa, etc., will not have to pay a big price for feed. It is rather hard No believe that we have $23,O00,0OO worth of meat have only about $60,000,000 cotton crop. It is hard to believe that there is $12,O00,000 annually spent for dairy products from other sta1As that could be raised in Arkansas. Over half of our cotton money spent for two arti cles that we could raise at home if we would only do so.
 One of the greatest reasons why we have depended on other states to fur nish feed, butter and meat is because we have never been so familiar with the growing of winter crops and too familiar with cotton to the exclusion of grain and hay crops. The great movement now on for winter cover crops will be far-reaching and before many years we will raise our own feed and meat and have some to sell 1 am proud to see such great strides in agricultural pursuits We are pav- ing the way for more livestock. When we increase the acreage of winter cover crops, we will necessarily have more livestock and the nwe will have more money, more profit, more plea sure and better land.

The Gospel According to
 ST. MARK.
CHAPTER 12.

OT1Af l EIL lA.
 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted vineyard, and set an hedge about it. and digged place for the winefat and built tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
 ?. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
 3. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
 4. And again he sent uto them an other servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
 5. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
 6. Having yet therefore one son. his wellbeloved he sent him also unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
 '. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheri- tance shall be ours.
 8. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vine yard.
 9. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and de- stroy the husbandment, and will give the vineyard unto others.
 T, scripture: The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
 il. This was the Lords doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
 12. And they sougSt to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
 13. And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
 IA. Aud when they. were come. they say unto him, Master, we know, that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not. the per son of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
 15. Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocri- sy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
 16. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesars.
 IF. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. And they mar yelled at him.
 IS. Then come unto him the Saddu- cees, which say there is no resurrec- tion; and they asked him, saying,
 19. Master, Moses wrote unto us If a mans brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no child ren, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his bro- ther.
 20. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed
 21. And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
 22. An dthe seven had her, and left no said: last of all the woman died also.
