WELL THAT EBBS ANU FLOWS
Phenomenon Attracts Many to Always Pleasant County of Northern
 England.

Two miles out from Settle. on the main road between that town and In- gleton, Yorkshire, Eng, there is to be found one of the most curious of natural phenomena in the shape of the famous ebhing and flowing well of Giggleswiek.
 A small, unpretcntious little structure, scarcely 10 be distin- guished from the ordinary trough of water to he seen on many of our country roads, it is vet one of the most quaint and fascinating spec tacles one could hope to see. As the name implies. the well has the na- ture of a tide: it ebbs and flows continually, though by no means with regularity.
 Sometimes the privileged traveller will see the oblong stone basin filled with clear water; then. even as he yazcs into it's pellucid depths, the water gradually sinks until the trough is half empty, or it may be more. There is barely lime to won- der at this strange thing ere, with rush and whirl, the trough is again full. The ehb and flow con- tinues with more or less marked ef- feet, and the water is never at the same level for two consecutive min utes. Sometimes the outflow has scarcely begun before the basin again fills, but at other times the trough is almost emptied.-Wide World Magazine.

In addition to this they will carry a complete line of the best confectionery. cigars and tobacco V. G. Seaman formerly had charge of this business and has been conducting like one at Pellston, Mich, since leaving here and thoroughly understands every phase of it and knows what the people want. If you have not visited th;s popular place since he took charge you should do so. A collapsable floor has been placed in the theatre and the operators room moved to the rear so that the theatre now seats nearly twice as many as formerly and the floor can be easily removed to give access to the bowling alleys. We predict that the place will soon be as popu- lar as 1t was when he had charge of it before.

hockey field The masculine leg is not 8 yelled mystery. Why should the feminine leg be regarded as a dreadful secret dedicated to the al- 'uremenis of the ballet? After all, our girls may not be quite so bold and quite so bad as we. in our fam ing innocence, imagine. Perhaps the they are right in assaulting the stupid tyranny of sex. Perhaps they are wise in forcing HIS to bear the shattering revelation that the end iustifies the means. Perhaps they are doing q great and noble decd in delivering us from the delusion that the less we see of them the better. There is no doubt that they are rap idly emerging from the chrysalis of convention. They are asserting their right to be human beings and not bundles of obedient duplicity.

 You can't expect to inspire confidence in others if you havn't confidence in yourself.

DEMONSTRATION WORK.
General Summary of Club Work in Arkansas
 For 1913.

The Boys Corn Club work was conducted in seventy counties last year with a total enrolment of 2559 boys. The average yield per acre of the boys reporting last year was AS bushels. The average cost per bushel is 5612 cen.s. This average yield of AS bushels per acre is more than double the av- craze yield of the state made under the old methods of cultivation. Eighteen members, one of which was girl. grew .o3O bushels of corn on l8 acres with an average yield per acre of lOZ bushels at an average cost per bushel of Is cents.
 The Cotton Cubs were con ducted in about 50 counties in the state with total enrolment of 800. The average yield per acre of seed cotton of the boys report ing was l ,08l pounds This is dou- ble the average of the state made under the ordinary method of cul- tivation. Tae average net profit per acre of the boys reporting was $25. 10.
 The Canning Club work for girls was conducted in thirteen counties with total enrolment in round numbers of about 800. The girls reporting have grown over one quarter million pounds of tomatoes on their gardens. They have not only grown tomatoes on their gar dens. but have grown a number of other vegetables. The total value of all products sold from the one tenth acre gardens amount to over $l4.OOO.OO. The average cost of production per one-tenth acre is $sO.24, with an average net profit per one-tenth acre of $55.Oz. Ar kansas has the honor of having girl who holds the record of having made the greatest net profit of any girl in the twelve Southern states in which the club work has be een conducted, according to informa- tion received from the Department of Agriculture at Washington The girl is Miss Fay Parker of Beebe, who made net profit of $l52.85 on one-tenth of an acre.
 The question has be5n asked if the work is really worth while, and what there is to it. A few figures will show the merits of the work. Approximately there were 2.4z5,- 900 acres of corn in Arkansas in 1915. The average yield per acre of the state is about 20 bushels. The Corn Club boys made an aver age of AS bushels. This 25 bushel gain per acre had every acre been worked under demonstration meth ods would have meant a gain of 6l .8z5.OOO of corn which at 70 cents bushel would have given an increase in dollars and cents in the corn production in Arkansas last year of $45.5l2.5OO.OO
 There was approximately 2.4OO,- GOO acres of cotton grown in Ark kansas in 1915. The average yield ger acre in the state is about SEQ pounds of seed cotton. The boys averaged lO8l pounds or over 500 pounds to the acre. This gain per acre had every acre been worked under demonstration meth ods would have meant an increase of 4OO.OOO.OOO pounds of lint cot ton, which at 10 cents per pound would have given an increase in dollars and cents in the cotton pro- duction in Arkansas of $4O,OOO,- GOO.
