ONCE out in the corridor, beneath the
scrutiny of eager eyes, Addison Slyde
recovered his composure completely. But
it seemed as if the elevator would never
come, although he raped impatiently
on the steel door of the elevator shaft.
Then, as the old financier entered the
car, it seemed to him that infnitude must
have passed before he descended the thir-
ty floors to the main hallway.
1t was past the noon hour when Slyde
passed with nimbe steps up Broad street;

bankers paused, traders list

tale farther.

but he had rejected the bait.

Lastly arrived old Addison

were quickly lost to public

COAL MINED IN MICHIGAN

Reports from Michigan to E. w.. Parker, of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, indicate that the produc- tion of coal in 1914 was about the same as in 1913, when it amounted to 1,231, ,7S6 short tons. The manufac- turing industries contiguous to the Michigan mines have been using about the same quantity of coal as in 1913, and the domestic trade which furnishes the market for the lump coal has been about the same as for previous years There have been no strikes, and labor and transportation facilities have been unusually good.

NOVEL USE OF ARSENIC DIP

Many farmers are under the i'm pression that the dipping vat is used exclusively for dipping cattle, but last year, according to the report of E. E. Parsons of Heber Springs, special agent of the farmers cooperative demonstration work, the farmers of Cleburne county dipped horses, sheep, goats and dogs. They found it prac- tical in ridding the animals of all species of vermin. MT. Parsons said that an effort is being made to secure aid from the legislature now in ses- sion to assist in making Cleburne a tick free county.

THE GOETHALS FIZZLE
Pittsburg Dispatch.

If Col. Goethals does not look ont the paraders of war will have him as the subject of an inquiry on mental failure. He has appeared before a congressional committee and has made that occasion so notable for rot saying what was wanted and refusing to give expected guarantees, as to Knock out all projects to make politi- cal capital.
 Wlll the battle ships be able to go through the canal on the day of open ing? The Colonel replies that he doesn't know. It depends on what the Culebra Cut does, and he declines to prophecy about the cut. Then he has fears about the failure of the canal |? Not at all. He has dredges enough to take care of the slides as they occur. Anyhow, he must be uneasy about the defenses of the canal. Could not a German or Japanese fleet seize it? He thinks not, because the Notifications are ample. But does he not want big ger guns? No; those already there are big enough
 In short every effort to get Col. Goethals to say something that will furnish ammunition to the iingo scares turns out failure. He sticks to the policy of common sense and begging right ahead. A man who in Wash lngton refuses to unpack lot of stuff for scares is evidently unsettled. Mir. Gardner will have to start an inquiry into Col. Goethals' mental condition.

NEpOTISM IN GENERAL ASSEM-
 BLY.
 By A. w. Parke

Nenotism in the Arkansas General Assembly is doomed unless the bill nrepared by Senator G. B. Ferguson of Ballard. dies in committee. For manv sessions of the legislature it has been customary for the members to come accompanied by various and sun- dry kin with the expectation of keep ;no as much of the States money as nossible in the family by having them olected as minor officials or as com mittee clerks. It was not unusual to see member bring along a son or two and try to place them both on the State pay roll. Many brought daugh- ters. cousins, neices, or just friends, but nearly every member had some one to stand sponsor for.
 In the organization of the present legislature the members had enough to select from to have formed an army for the relief of the Belgians. There were widows, orphans, cripples and  those who simply had to have the f. nancial assistance of the state were present in scores. Qualification was seldom urged for any candidate, rela- tionship or penuriousness being the Chief asset of those seeking appoint ment.
 Senator Ferguson watched the cleo tioneering, entered into with such wig or by the members themselves, they making the organization of the bodies secondary to the minor appointments. until he could stand it no longer and he began preparing a bill which makes it unlawful for member to become interested in the campaign of rela- tive, and he expects to fight the bill through. The bill will surely prove unpopular with one member who brought not only his whole family to Little Rock with the expectation of landing several appointments, but the children of the second generation This member had son and daughter and two grandchildren, and had all landed, they would have drawn $20 per day from the State, or $24 had the son and daughter secured the clerk ships which they first sought. The selection of Speaker and President was largely controlled by the trading.

 SWEETS ON AN ACRE PLOT

Last year William M. Johnson of Heber Springs, raised 225 bushels of Nancy Hall sweet potatoes on one acre of land. The potatoes were of uniform shape with smooth surfaces. MT. Johnson received an average of $1 a bushel for his trouble. It is cited that Cleburne county has never raised enough of this crop for its own needs.

THE CHlLDREN'S DEPARTMENT

It took the mother hearted woman and the real father-hearted men q long time to get department of child-welfare as a part of our govern ment.
 We have spent millions on the agri- cultural division of the government and nothing was thought of the thou- sands of pages of literature on hop cholera, tick eradication and elements of soil and how to adopt them to diff ferent plants, and in sending experts all over the country, to "teach the farmer".
 That Is all right, but not to the ex- clusion of child-welfare. It may be a long time before Uncle Sam sees fit to send experts all over the country to teach parents how to conserve child life. But he will, some of these days.
 In the meantime however, there is literature being printed under the su- pervision of the head of the depart ment. Miss Julia Lathrop, that is very helpful and can be secured just for the asking. You can now learn to have your baby as strong and big and heal thy and normal as well as the farm CT can have his pigs in the same con- dition.
 All you have to do is address q card to "The Children's Bureau" !" Washington, D. C., and ask that the pamphlets be sent you.
 The following very interesting ones have been issued; Parental Care. :" Laws Relating to Mothers Pensions" Handbook of the Federal Statistics of Children" Birth Registration. :" What the Cities are doing to Prevent Infant Mortality" and Care of h. fants."
 Many young mothers need this in formation. Avail yourselves of all helps possible and prove to "Uncle Sam" you appreciate his effort in this line. He has experts at the job.- J. c. P.

MISS LOUISE WHITE

At the age of twenty three, Miss Louise White, daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. R. White, IT,, was suddenly called to her heavenly home on the might of November 12, 1914. The Sy- nod of Arkansas was at the time in session at the Presbyterian church of which she was devoted member and her father an honored ruling elder. That assembly was deeply touched by the information of the young lady's dangerous condition, and suspended it's regular business to engage in spe- cial prayer for her.
 A child of the covenant, Louise gave her heart to God when she was eleven years old. In her girhood and her young womanhood her love and devo- tion to the Master were most fittingly shown by her faithful work as assist ant teacher in the primary depart ment of the Sunday School, as member of the church choir, and as a member of the Christian Endeavor Society Sweet temper, pleasant manners, cour- teous demeanor, unseltish disposition, affectionate and kindhearted she ex- erted good and pleasing influence on all those with whom she came in con tact.
 From infancy she was afflicted with asthma, the cause of her death, but she bore her suffering as only Christian can:
 "Whate're my God ordains is right,
 His will is ever just, Howe'er He orders my cause,
 1 will be still and trust"
 Her going has left vacancy in the hearts of her family, relatives and friends which can only be filled by the Spirit and grace of Christ The hope of immortality is the genius of Christ's mission and Gospel. Louise, who died in Christ died in peace and hope. The assurance of the great inheritance into which she has entered as an heir of God is our sure support and com fort
 Her active work has ended but its influence will last forever and will bear fruit elsewhere
 "The day has come, not gone;
 The sun has risen, not set;
 Her life is now beyond
 The reach of death or change
 Not ended, but begun" -Thos. c. McRae, Prescott, Ark, in Christian Observer, Jan. 6, 1915.
