 Total $500 Bales.

Little Rock. Aug. 7.-Commissionei Bradsher of the state penitentiary re- turned from the state farm, where he has been inspecting the crop, and with the other commissioners will start out for different parts of the state to inspect sites offered for the farm for white convicts. The com mssioners pave so far been unable to secure a suitable location, but have yet a number of sites to look over Commissioner Bradsher says the cotton crop will be the best ever raised on the farm, which is re- markable statement with the crops at the state farm was not so badly in other sections so poor. The crop damaged by the dry weather for there were sufficient hands with which to work it constantly thus conserving tho moisture. Commissioner Brad sher states there is some boil weevll at the farm, but so far the insect has done little damage.
 The commissioners estimate the corn crop on the farm to average 60 bushels to the acre, which will net the state quite q sum, with corn the price it is certain to be this winter. The commissioners also expect to pick $500 bales of cotton from the farm this fall.

TIE FAR EAST slruArleN.

It is highly desirable that this coun- try shoud not become involved in the general Eufupean mfxlp, It Is a. con- flict from which we must hold aloof and the attitude taken by the admin istration relative to the situation which has developed in the far east appears to be the wise one. It is not to be ifi- ferred that we are not interested in Pacific possessieus, but there is noth- ing to indicate that Japan through her Statnnent and the declaration of Great BFitain that the eastern opera tiens will .bs restricted. will not be true to her annorf1ced purpose.
 It Is not a. time when the far east question should be made larger than H is. or that this nation should be dragged into an unwarranfed acfivi-
 y RatheF is it a credit to the presi- dent that he has answered as he has and that he has faith in the inten- tions of Japan Just what Germany will do has not been indicated ex- eept by the statement credited to a representafiv at Washington that he believes 1t will submit to the demands and retire from China Such if 1t re- suits, though 1t would follow as a matter ef circumstances and the fact that the German war strength In the east is tsssuf1ctent for suecessfal re- sistAnces woutd serve to clear the eastern situation materially.
 The stand which this country has
 taken deserves to place prompt check upon any 3irgnistie talk at this time 1t is g time for the love of peace to exert itself and not permit it to be blinded ny wild imagination and hot headed demands.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Roads to Mor. Permanent Pleasures.

The roads to more permanent pleas ures are these: Religion. philosophy, love art. craftsmanship and nature.
 By religion is meant a reyerent hab- it of mind, a sense Of wonder and mystery, a realization that we live in a world of spiritual meanings Unless you can attain to this your life must always be mean and hard. Of course. this refers to no religious institution, but to that religious feeling that has always marked great lives.
 By philosophy is meant that you must have some sort of programIrs for your life. So long as events to you are but a disordered mess Of hap penings" you will be miserable-the football ef fate. You must have cer- tain foundation principles, some set- tied theory of life that will bring order out of chaos.
 By love is meant that you must have the power to idealize your crude instincts. Lust sates, sickens, weardes Love. which is the idealization of passion. is eternal. ever fresh
 By art is meant the expression of the higher powers of the mind in creating beautiful things. When you learn to love a Greek temple more than the gingerbread house of a New York millionaire. a painting by Is- raels or Mtilet more than a chromo, the wit of Charles Lamb more than that of Joe Miller. the charm of Mi- chael Angelo's Moses more than the huge parier clock monuments in some of our parks, a Beethoven quartet more than cabaret music, story by Hawthorne more than one of the mod ern sex-soaked or adventure -choked romances. such play as Barrie,s The Admirable Crichton' more than cheap and loud melodrama. and in general all things that have the quiet ness of power, the self-restraint of genius and the subtlety of intellectual vision, then you have come consider ably toward the point where your pleasures are more permanent and have less nauseating dregs.
 By craftsmanship is meant that | skill that transforms work from
 drudgery to enchantment
 And by love of nature is meant tha' patient study of and eventually de. light in the marvellous design, perfec. | ton and handicraft exhibited by ev. erything that grows. by everything the Creator has made.
