SHOULD JOIN POTATO GROWERS,
Every Grower Should be Interested in
 the New Organization.

Mena, Dec. 10.--J. Hollister Tul1, agriculturist, gives information to the farmers, in the following bulletin:
 Every Sweet Potato grower in Ar kansas shold join the Arkansas Sweet Potato Growers League, Thos. w.. Newton, Little Rock, Arkansas Secre- tary. On November 27 this organiza- tion held meeting in Little Rcck to work on the Marketing proposition. There are lot of growers of this crop on the K. c. S., and they should lend assistance as these crops are marketing through cooperation and no other way
 Every year lot of southern Corn Growers send north for seedcorn be- cause they cannot locate good nome grown seed of their variety. Every corn grower knows that locally grown seed is the best but if he can not get it he must send his money from home never to return and there by acknowledge that he is not able or capable of selecting and breeding as good stuff as the other follow and of course pay theother fellcw for the brain work This condition shoulc not be and as the south is rapidly coming to the front as corn country, there should be larger number of good seed breeders through the south If there is any such parties in either of the six K. c. S. states, we want their names, sc we can help them sell their seed locally.

PLAN MOVABLE BATTERIES
Great Guns on Motor Trucks at Coast
 Defense Accessories,

Washington, Dec. 10.-Gigantic guns mounted on motor trucks or railway, cars probably will be added to the country's coast defense system as the result of experiments being made by army ordance experts. Part of the sS0, 000000 expenditure fer coast defen- ses incluted in the administration bill may be devoted to this work.
 The European war has demonstrat- ed that high-power guns can be usec as mobile weapons. Such guns as the German 42-centimeter howitzer have revolutionized land warfare by the easy reduction of forts believed inn pregnable. 1t is proposed to adapt this lesson to American coast defense by linking permanent works with we'll ballasted wagon roads or rail- ways parallelling the coast line so that the heavy guns could be rushed to any threatened point not protected by the present harbor defenses.

OUACHITA PRESIDENT RESIGNS
Dr. $. Y. Jameson Leaves to Accept
 PastOrate of Church in Georgia.

Philadelphia, Dec. 10.-Dr. s. Y. Jameson today announced his ressgna- tion from the presidency of Ouachita College, effective January 1. He has accepted the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Marietta, Ga. Dr. Jameson made known his intentions to the EXecutiv Beard of the institu- tion at their meeting in Little Rock Wednesday, He has been with the institution for two years.
 ADr. Jameson has not been satisfied with educational work. He has long desired to get back to the regular church duties he says. He accepted the presidency of Ouachita College when the institution was in bar fin ancial condition He will leave it practically unincumbered. TFe col lege was in debt about $60,Oo, when he then became it's head. During his two years administration more than that amount has been raised long-standing mortgages have been paid and the affairs of the college placed on second economic basis.
 The history of Dr. Jameson's presi- dency of Mercer University of Macon, Ga, was much like his work here. He rendered invaluable service to that institution in finare al way during his seven-year presidency.
 The Executive Board has elected Dean H. l.. McAllister acting presi- dent. He has been member of the ouachitasfacultHl for nine years and is very popular with the students.

it would be the proper thing.
 T have my duty to the children of this world, and 1 must not impair my health or my power of service to them by the strenuous work demanded in the movies. No doubt I would prove very popular star at the children 8 matinees. But l wonder if the chill dren who see me in their dreams do not get a better and more flattering idea of me than they would in the picture.
 You see, my dear sir, the camera does not lie. l am sure it would not lie for me when it will not tell false- hoods about the appearance of kings and petentates. Every child in the world thinks of me as very hand some old gentleman. Some of them may have ar idea that I am inclined to be a little stout-but good many others imagine I have as graceful a form as that of a young soldier. They think 1 curl my whiskers and have a beautiful wave in my long, silky locks.

there was a people in the ark !,
that did'not bav4 a living soul !
cod said that they were a people
thai were not ap cope. And it,
was for this reason that God
spoke through Isaiah and said,
Sing, O barren, thou that did,t
not bear; break forth into sing

didst not travail with child, for
more are the. children Of lht
