NUMBER 23

We dropped into a local store the other day and found a clerk nearly dead with a sick headache. But when a customer entered few minutes later he was all smiles and right to the front with a hearty and whole souled greeting, and he kept his face and his spirits until the customer departed, in a happy frame of mind-to come again. No, never mind who it was; but that fellow will get ahead in the world, and the firm he is with will always do business while he is in the foreground.

YOUR DOC IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

BQddie Stone thinks he is just about broke up, a mule having kicked and killed his little dog last Friday morning. Buddie thinks the little dog was about the best playmate he could find. Oak Hill Correspond dent of the Green Forest Trib- une.
 As you grow older, Buddie, and meet more people, you will think more of that dog. Maybe you are not old enough now to appreciate fully the loyalty and affection your dog if he was like other dogs, and we know he Was-lavished on you. No other playmate was as glad to see you or as quick to forgive you if you Wronged him. If you watched your dog as he died that is if you are like other boys, Buddie, and we know you are you will remember during many, many years his wistful eyes and his air of patient resignatian as hls life went out. When a man or boy loses his dog not a good dog necessarily, but his dog-he has lost real friend, Buddie, and he will travel far and long before he finds man friend who has traits as lovable as his dog friend had. But there is one thing to be said in favor of the man friend, Buddie. He does not-that is as 8 general thing he does not-fop over sud- denly and in any kind of con- pany and attempt to di8lodge with his left foot a flea that is biting his left ear.-Arkansas Gazette.
 Get another good dog, Buddie; hell always be your friend. Use little pennyroyle on him, and he won't be so liable to fea-hop, Buddie'll switch his tail powerful after 1t gets on him.

 C0RDENG TO TEE CLOCK

The bombardment of Dunkirk by the giant German gun oper- ating from Flanders permits the carrying on of the business of the city four and @ half minutes out of every five.
 Only one gun is used in this bombardment, and the shells come regularly every five min utes. The people take advant- age of the interval between an explosion and the coming of an- other shell to transact business, allowing themselves only a half minute to make for their cellars.
 In the general postolfice four and 8 half minutes after the explosion of the first shell is heard the clerks and customers at the stamp and money order windows and applicants for mail make for the basement. After the expected shell explodes they come upstairs again and business goes on as usual until it is time to run again to safety.

SALvs TACTICS sElITTLED

A Budapest newspaper publish es an interview with General Von BueloW, obtained at the front, in which the general discusses the difference between the pres ent German campaign in Russia and that of Napoleon in 1872.
 "It has been remarked, said the general, that the present strategy of the Russians Is tbe same as Sat which proved effect i've against Napoleon. Such strategy was effective then, but not now, when means of con- munication have been so much improved. The bread which our soldiers eat today in Windau was baked in Bresiau yesterday.
 In times when a railroad is being built a mile behind the ad- vancing forces, when asphalt roads grow, as it were, out of the earth, no such strategy is effective. We drink c erman water and eat fresh meat direct Berlin and can build a road, if necessary, 50 miles long, in two days. It is therefore nonsense to speak of the strategy of Napoleon. "

T@sEUTE TO THE COW

Little do we realize the debt we owe the COW. During the dark ages of savagery and bar bari8m, we find her early ancest- tors natives of the old world. As the bright rays of civilization penetrated the darkness of that early period, and man called up- on the COW, she came forth from her seclusion to share in the eff forts that gave us 8 greater na- ton and more enlightened people.
 For two thousand years she showed her allegiance to man, sharing alike in his prosperity and adversity, responding nobly to all that was done for her, un- til through her development she became an idol of the people of her native country.
 In 1493, when Columbus made bis second voyage to America, the cow came with him, and from that time to the present day sine has been a most potent factor ii making this, our own country, the greatest nation, with the highest type of woman hood and manhood history has ever known.
 Her sons helped til the soil of our ancestors and slowly moved the products of the farn to mar ket. They went with man into the dense forests of the new world, helped clear them for sI0;saas. Y ana made cuitiy atio1 possible for the coming general ton, and when the tide of emi- grafton turned westward, they hauled the belongings of the pioneer across the sun-scorched plains and over the great mount ain ranges to new homes be- yond.
 Truly the COW is mans great est benefactor. Hail, wind, droughts and floods may come, destroy our crops and banish our hopes, but, from what is left, the COW manufactures into the most nourishing and life-sustain- ing foods and is she not life itself to the thousands of little ones stranded upon the hollow hearts and barren bosoms of modern motherhood? We love her for her docility, her beauty and her usefulness. Her loyalty has never weakened, and should misfortune overtake us, as we become bowed down with the weight of years, we know that in the cow we have a friend that was never known to falter. She pays the debt. She saves the home. God bless the cow little do we realize the debt we owe her! -FairvieW World.

SOVEREIGNTY OF TME AIR

SOVEREIGNTY OF TNE AIR
 War has brought with it many problems. Some may never be solved, Some will tax the in- genuity of man. Some will be discussed for generations to come.
 The mooted question now pug zling the brains of our diplomats is whether there can ever be sovereignty of the air.
 A few weeks ago a fleet of English airships sailed over Switzerland to lombard tn 6 German Zeppelin factory.
 Switzerland being 9 neutral country, was justified in raising a protest. EngIand's reply was Automatically apologetic. But England maintained that SWitz- erland's claim to sovereignty of the air could not be recognized.
 Here is a perplexing problem. Unless the neutral territory could be crossed the English airmen would have been unable to effectively carry on this par ticuiar bombardment.
 Nations have the right to claim sovereignty of the seas and have authority b protect their rights. The air is unpro- tectea. Not only are messages of war carried through the air oyer neutral countries, but car- rier pigeons fly with secret orders from one army to another.
 The German air fleet crosses the English channel to drop an occasional bomb on London and English coast towns, and air fleets of the Allies retaiiate as best they can.
 Therefore, it is timely to ask is there such 3 thing possible IS sovereignty Of tie air and will there ever bel
 There is a precedent concern ing the private ownership of the air to be found in the English legal records. A man erected a signal board that projected from the roof of his premises a few feet over the field of a neighbor. The owner of this field brought an action for trespass. The re- suit was the court ordered the sign removed. Only a few feet of air was used, but the judge ment of the court still stands.
 When a swing bridge was erected by the city council of Cleveland across the Cuyahoga river, the bridge passed over 6 few square feet of land owned by a private individual, who prompt ly claimed "a good and indefeas- ible titIei fee simple to the air above with the right to sell or lease the same" T he city council had to pay him $l0, 600 for the previlege of swinging the bridge through a few feet of air claimed by him and sustain ed by the Ohio court.
 With such cases, matters of record, in view that it may beyet held that neutral nations have sovereignty of the air above them and have the right to pro- hibit the invasion of airships just as they would troops on land. Memphis Comm ercia l. Appeal.

GREEN FOREST GETS
 NINE MONTHS TERM
OWING TO FAILURE TO GET STATE AID, NONRESIDENT PUPILS
 CHARGED TUITION

and continue for nine months, closing May 18th, 1916.
 After the close of the nine months term there will be a special course of five weeks for teachers. This, according to MT. Bunch's announcement, will be followed by the teachers exam nation, and that by one week. s institute.
 Both the examination and in- stitute will be held here. l suppose 1t is generally known that the supreme court, after turning two or three sonersaults, declared the State Aid Law un- constitutional. Theref 0 r e, we will not De able to give free tui- ton to nonresident pupils, as we have done for the last four years.
 This decision took $1, 700 from the funds fer our next term of school, and of course places the district at 8 great disadvantage for this term, but the school board has finally hit on a plan by which we can run the school for this year without increasing it's indebtedness.
 All nonresident pupils desir- ing to attend here will be receiv- ed as heretofore, but will be tehargee tuition at tlfe following rates:
 First and Second grades, SIPS per month; Third and Fourth gardes, $I.50 per month; Fifth grade, $1.75 per month; Sixth grade, $2. .00 per month; Seventh grade, 82,25 per month; Eighth grade, $2.50 per month; Ninth grade, $2. 75 per month; Tenth grade, s. % per month; Eleventh grade, s. g per month.
 If these members of the legis- lature Gnciuding Senator Ed- mondson) are honest, and are not mere demagogQes there is no doubt but that the next general assembly will pass another State Aid Law, taking the appropria tion from the general f u n q. Without 9 single exception, each member of the last legislature that spoke against the law declar- ed himself in favor of state aid to high schools, but opposed to taking the appropriation from the school fund.
 This fact, in connection with Q consideration of the great impet- us given to education by the State Aid Law, and the further and still more important fact that only by a law of this kind can the great mass of country boys and girls of our state be educated, makes 1t almost certain that the next assembly will give us another act similar to the one declared void.
 The year before state aid there were in the entire state of Arkansas only 4,000 pupils en- rolled in our high schools. Last year this number had increased to 16, coo, an increase of 400 per cent in four years. This wond- erful increase isdue almost entire ly to the fact that the country boys and girls were given free tuition in the aided schools.
 In view of the almost certain action of the next assembly in their behalf, it is very much to be hoped that those pupils that have been inspired by the State Aid Law to seek high school education will not become dis outraged and give up, and there, by lose the year. If they can make it through this term, 1 think they will get relief for the next. H. P. Burney.

REPORT OF COUNTY
 DEMONSTRATION
THIS SEASONS WORK cAR7EEa ON UMDER DIFFICULTIES

Caff0ll County Court. Dear Slr:'- l beg to submit the following -re- port of the Farm Demonstration Work as carried on in this county for the six months ending July 31, 1915.

 Number Demonstrators, 27; Co-operators, B; Boys Corn Club, 34; Peanut Club, 6; Pig Club, 1; Total, 100.

 The work this season up to date has been carried on under many difficulties, beginning Feb ruary l, too late for those who enrolled as demonstrators, CO., operators, and members of vari- ous clubs to make proper prepara- tionof their respective plats; Fol lowed by the excessive rains of spring and early summer, mak- ing it impossible fer them to pro- perly cultivate their plats. They were in very poor shape to stand the dry weather which has fol- lowed. The disposition among farmers to overcrop themselves has not been improved this sea- son, and the conditions have forced farmers to stay out of their crops early in the season, having failed to properly culti- Yate early, crops are now suffer ing in most sections from lack of moisture.
 Not being acquainted with the farmers, or the geography of the county, we were very much handicapped in OUT work. The work being new to practically all the farmers of the county has al- so added to our difficulties.
 In spite of all these drawbacks interest in the work is growing rapidly, and in spite of the wet season early, and dry later, we have some splendid demonstra- ton plats in different sections of the county, and we hope to be able to show some very fine re- suits at the end Of our years work.
 Interest in hog cholera con troI work, and better live stock is also growing, as well as in all lines of farm activities. The College of Agriculture at Fay etteville, and the other agents of the Department of Agricul- have co-operated freely with us in our work during the past six months, and have very materi- ally aided us in awakening great CT interest," in farm development.
 The business men of the coun- ty have also shown greater in terest in our work and have mat erially assisted Us in our work. We hope during the remainder of the season to do much effec- tive work in awakening the l farmers of the county to the necessity of cooperation.
 The teachers of the county have also rendered us valuable aid, and we hope through their cooperation during the fall months in their school work to be able to thoroughly organize

WEEns ON ne EARM.

The weed has been defined as a
plant out of place. The term is, per-
haps, most commonly applied to those
plants which are useless and objec-
tionable. Some cultivated plants may
become pests when they grow where
they are not wanted.
There are great many objections
to weeds, the chief Of which are the
following:
% They take up space which
should be devoted to useful plants,
among which they grow. and tend to
deprive the latter of light and air. A

to the ground.
(2) They absorb large amounts OF
water and fertilizing constituents
which are needed for the nourlshment
Of the cultivated crop.
90 They are a source Of loss in that
they necessitate more labor being
spent in clearing operations.
(4) The presence OF weed seeds In
samples Of grain. and in clover and

of these.
(5) Some weeds are parasitic upon
useful plants. An example of this
Is the dodder, which lives upon the
Juice of the clover plants to which
they attach themselves.
60 Some weeds are poisonous to
stock; others give an Objectionable
odor to milk when they are consumed
by dairy cows.
ca Many weeds are Objectionable
in that they harbor parasitic fungi
and insect pests which often find their
way to cultivated crops.
If we are to apply effective remedies
for their destruction or control, we
must study their life history.
Their habits Of growth, time Of seed
ing and duration must be carefully in
vestigated.
The annual weeds, such as wild
mustard, chickweed or groundsel, ger
inmate readily and grow very rapidly,
often smothering crops by sheer num-
bers. They are very productive, sin
gle plants producing many hundreds
of seeds in one season. Usually they
terminate in spring and die in au-
tumn.
Biennials take two seasons to COM
plete their life cycle. Their seeds ger
inmate and grow into leafy plants dur
ing the first season; in the second sea-
son the buds of the plant develop into
long stems which bear the flower and
seeds. After the seeds are produced
and ripened, the plant dies.
The perennial weeds are capable Of
growing for many seasons, during
which time they can produce many
crops of seeds. Most of this group
have underground root stocks which
extend to great depths in the soil, and
are hard to kill; examples are bind
