He Didn't Take the Paper.

A farmer in the community once had a horse he wanted to sell. It was a valuable horse and should have brought good price For month s he tried to sell the animal but could not find a buyer at his figure. He fin ally sold it for about S25 less than it's value, rather than carry it through the winter
 Now it happened that just across the line in another county there was a farmer looking for just such a horse, but was unable to find it. Then he inserted a little ad., in the home paper, which brought him a numbet of offers, one of which he reluctantly accepted
 The first farmer did not take the home paper, and of course did not see the little ad, of the man who wanted a horse and who would have purchas- led his animal at a good price.
 By not taking the paper he saved St, and likewise los, s24 hy not seeing the other fellows ad
 Such occurrences are happening ev- cry week right here in this communi- ty, in which people actually lose good money because they do not take their 'home paper, and hence do not know of many of the opportunities that' are placed before them.

 It is admitted by Republican leaders that Mr. Hughes was too independent to suit them when Governor of New York, but when they need him SC sorely that could be overlooked.

c1PsTITUTES FOR BREAD

The department of agriculture calls attention to the fact that the Irish po- r,to may be eaten as substitute for brpad that when potatoes are worth RO rents bushel, ten cents worth, 10 nonnds will give the consumer a little
 more actual nourishment than two
 leaves of bread at five cents each.
 While protein and fat are present in l.roer amounts in the bread, the pota- ines will furnish more carbohydrates and more heat units.
 The Southern people have never
 made as wide use of the Irish potato as Northern. people. The Irish potato is 4 very valuable article of food, yet t is by no means the only substitute for bread. As matter of fact, we are not in urgent need of bread sub sttutes, as we cam produce wheat and
 corn abundauuy in the Southwest. But it is our privilege to use several products as well as Irish potatoes

TO SEEK TO REPEAL PROHlBI
 TION BILL,

It is practically assured that while the statewide prohibition bill will be enforced beginning January 1, 1916, than an effort will be made to initi- ate bill to repeal it to be voted on at the general election in November. 1916.
 One of the liquor men of Little Rock said yesterday that while no definite plans have yet been made or time fixed fer beginning the work, there is lit tie doubt that as soon as practicable a canvass will be made throughout the state for sufficient names to petitions to comply with the requirements to initiate the repeal bill
 "In 1912" he said, Act. No. ? in- itiated by the prohibtionists for state wide prohibition was defeated by a majority of between 16,O00 and 1000 votes. More than 50 dry counties un- der local option voted against state wide prohibition for their own coun- ties in that same election. This would indicate that the state at large does not want a statewide law. espec- ially as the white belt where the negro vote amounts to little or nothing, gave a majority of 10000 against prohibi- tion. On this ground we eXepct to make a successful fight again."

Pumpkins and cushaws were once very popular on the farm. These crops are not now as popular as they deserve. The food value is nearly as high as sweet potatoes and since the yield of pumpkins and eushaws is large when planted on good land, this Is cheap way to produce food. Pumpkins and cushaws may be eaten as a substitute for bread. Pies. GUS tards, pumpkin bread and many other combinations can be made of these edibles. Why not plant them ?-Farm and Ranch

WILL TT PAY?
By G. N. Cannon.

When business is dull,
 And there is Hull, And you can find nothing to do
 Be patient and wait,
 Nor give up to fate, And never get grabbed and blue. Keep pushing along, Courageous and strong,
 Tis darkest near dawning of day, The shadows will fly, There'll come a clear sky, When the darkness will up and away There's worry enough,
 And heartless rebuH,
 Amid the fierce conflicts of life, There's sorrow and care, And want and despair,
 Where many go down in the strife Its all in our pluck, There's nothing in luck.
 Though some on good fortune rely. To him who sits down Or loiters around,
 Fau Fortune all good will deny Fro give up the fight,
 Will forfeit the right To claim #ard in the end If long is tre race,
 Keep hitting gour pace,
 Ion faith and true courage depend When all has been done The good has been won,
 And homeward rejoicing you go, Your rest will be sweet,
 I'm fullness complete,
 Your heart with it's joy will o'errlow

VALUABLE HINTS ON
DISP0SING OF REFUSE.
How Pits With Covers Aid the Clean
ers of Streets and Walks.

When streets and sidewalks are
cleaned by hand sweeping there should
be provided receptacles Of appropriate
design and suitable capacity for the re-
ception of the street sweepings await
ing removal.
A useful form Of such receptacle
would be one which could be removed
without being emptied. another being
left in its place for the next days
sweepings. The same method is equal
ly applicable for small garbage and
household refuse.
There are other receptacles for street
refuse that may be sunk In pits.
They are made Of steel with dumping
bottom, and the removal cart Is pro-
vided with means of lifting them out
Of the pit to the top Of the cart. which
is covered with a top having special
openings so that the contents Of the
cans may be dumped into the cart
without being scattered by the wind.
After being so dumped the cans are
lowered again into place in their pits.
In order to avoid handling such cans
pits are located In the sidewalk near
the curb, and the street refuse Is swept
directly into them, small hinged flaps
bridging the gutter. The pit is, Of
course, provided with cover.
The removal Of all town street
sweepings and garbage refuse should
be done In wagons invariably having
covers in order to protect the passing
public and the workmen from escaping
particles. 1t is better. however. to
have ii removed In the original cans,
leaving empty cans in place, as this is
an absolute protection to all concerned
and gets the wagons Off the streets
sooner.
