When Miss Parlow made her debut

gave promise of becoming VfrtuoSa

qualified that promise. Her art has
ripened, broadened and enlarged In

than this, she portrays an emoienal
Quality that enhances every measure

cultural department had just complet- ed harvesting valuable crop of Nan cy Hall sweet potatoes. On one and third acres, enriched with commer- cial fertilizer, exactly 309 bushels were produced, the last being gather ed today Some of the potatoes weigh more than four pounds. On an ad- joining one-fourth acre 60 bushels of Irish potatoes were produced.
 The yield is all the more creditable when the unusual drouth is taken in- to consideration
 "The ground on which the Normal farm is located was considered prac- tically worthless for farm purposes, y MT. Doyne said. Crop rotation and tile drainage haN brought the soil up to its present value The work on the Normal farm is practical in it's character and is of great benefit to students taking this course, as they have an opportunity of seeing what can be done by scientific and intelli- gent methods" Mr. Doyne said crop diversification is strongly stressed by the teachers of agriculture. It is probable that no single agency in Ar kansas comes in touch with so many farmers and prospective farmers as the State Normal. Through each of the 300 teachers annually enrolled scores of rural pupils are reached and the principles taught at the Normal are thus transmitted to a multiplied number throughout the state.

PRES. DOYNE NEEDS
 HELP TO FILL SILO
FINDS NORMAL'S NEW ACOUI- SETON ENTIRELY TOO
 GRACIOUS.

Anyone having a surplus crop of jimpson weed, cockleburrs, dog fennel or anything else that will answer for fodder during the winter months, will confer a favor on President J. J. Doyne of the State Normal at Con- way, if they will bestow upon him a sufficient quantity to fill his 30-ton silo, facetiously writes a Little Rock newspaper correspondent.
 President Doyne is one of the pro- gressive farmers of the state, and as such he felt called upon to erect a silo at the Normal, and there is noth- ing like doing the thing right, so he decided the larger the silo, the better it would be done. Consequently, he ordered a 30-ton silo and stood by in awe as he watched it grow in pro- portions. He awed bit more when he watched the hired men about the Normal undertake to fill the pesky thing. The cavernous silo consumed the abnormal yield from an extensive pea patch. On top of this went the cutting from a very fine meadow of alfalfa. Kaffir corn, ordinary field corn, and his friends say few sets of old harness, went into the silo in the frantic effort to fill it to the roof. The monster still shows three feet of vacant space near the top, and Presi- dent Doyne is now looking for some thing to fill this, and in the mean time he is doing a lot of wishing that the thing will shrink by next year.
 Referring to the above story, Presi- dent Doyne stated to the Log Cabin Democrat today that not only was the State Normal silo filled, but the agri-

in the state.
 These are not the only marks of distinction of which the Hendrix con- stituency can justly feel proud. This year is considered hard times, espe- cially in the South. Nearly every Southern school has suffered a de- crease in enrolment on account of the. depressed conditions incident to the rollment today is 240. Twenty-one of these are girls. There are seventeen girls in the college annd four in the. academy. There are twelve more. boys in the college today than ever before. The attendance the first week was about 35 short of the first week last year, but enough new students have entered since that time to bring the enrolment up to last years fig ures.
 Another distinction for Hendrix was achieved when Columbia University of New York decided to admit B. A. graduates from Hendrix uncondition-- ally in it's post graduate schools. Hendrix is the first institution in Ar kansas to win this recognition from Columbia, which has heretofore pre- scribed certain entrance conditions for graduates of all colleges in this state desiring to take post graduate work-Bulldog.

DR. REYNOLDS SPEAKS
 TO BENTON AUDIENCES
HENDRIX PRESIDENT DISCUSS ES LESSONS FROM EURO
 PEAN WAR.

pr. John Hugh Reynolds, president of Hendrix College, Conway, deliver ed two very able addresses at the Methodist church last Sunday. The subject of the address at the II o'clock hour was Leadership" The speaker dealt with his subject chiefly from an educational standpoint. He said that while he was strong for pop ular education, it was a matter of inn portance that those with a disposition and talent for leadership should be properly trained He gave a number of forceful examples of great leaders in different lines. He said that the reason Bryan had such a wide influ- ence in international affairs was be- cause he had strong grip on the principles of Jesus Christ.
 The evening address was especially interesting The subject was Some Lessons of the European War" He dealt with the ethical standards of the leaders on both sides of the strug- gle, and then compared them with the ethics of American leaders, especially President Wilson and MT. Bryan. Probably a more scholarly address has not been heard here in a long time. pr. Reynolds discussed this subject from the standpoint of his torian rather than an advocate, and left the audience to draw their own conclusions as to who is right and who is wrong so far as the moral side of the war is concerned
 It is needless to say that Dr. Rey- holds can always get full house in Benton. His coming was not known in time to get the announcement in the local papers last week, or many more would have heard his addresses. Courier.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR;

Ostend, the famous Belgian resort on the North sea, was occupied by the troops of Emperor William on Thurs day, according to German official report arriving from Berlin by way of London. If this report is true, the Germans have reached the goal for which they aimed immediately after they captured Antwerp. Their forces now are only 65 miles across the sea from Dover and 115 miles from Lon don. On their way to Ostend the Ger mans also took Bruges, which prev iously was reported to have been de- serted and where no resistance was expected.

mans also took Bruges, which prev iously was reported to have been de- serted and where no resistance was expected
 The latest French official report does not touch upon the movements of the Germans and the allies near the Belgian coast line, where the one army has been trying to gain firm CT foothold and the other to throw back the advance. Of the hostilities in the west 1t merely says that the lighting continues vigorously and that in the vicinity of Lille ground has been gained by the allies. Further to the east, along the battle line that now stretches from the North sea to the Swiss frontier, repulse of the Ger mans near Malacourt is chronicled. A newspaper dispatch declares that a German column has been hurled back with heavy casualties by the allies in the Vosges. Another newspaper re- port has it that the Germans have been driven from Lille.
 Fighting is still going on between the Austro-German and Russian ar mics near Warsaw, and the Galacian fortress of Przemysl continues to hold out against the attacks of the Rus sians.

He was reputed to be opposed to the sympa- thy in Italy for the allies and the hos tility toward Austria. The Italian premier, Signor Salandra, will take temporarily the portfolio of foreign affairs. It is said that the death of the marquis will not affect Italy's for eign policy.
