REAL TRUTH IN THESE LINES
Ono Might Criticize Them as Poetry |, But They Contain a Lesson ti Worth Heeding.

! A Quincy travelling salesman, who keeps open a most observant eye in his travels around the country, not1c- ing the influences which affect clty,s prosperity, sends to the Herald what he terms good piece of poetry The poetry may be open to question, but the sentiment is one which every Quincyan should have deeply inn pressed upon his mind, and hence 1t lis worth repeating. It Is as follows:
 eff you want to live in the kind of ia town like the kind of town you like, you needn't slip your clothes in ia grip and start on long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind, Ifor there's nothing that's really new. It's knock at yourself, when you knock your town. It isn't the town its you. Real towns are not made by men afraid lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and mo- body shirks. you can raise a town from the dead. And if while you make your personal stake, your neigh bors can make one, too, your town will be what you want to see It isn't lthe town-ijs you"
 The Quincy man further says in his letter: "It will be a good thing to Iput in the paper for Quincy people who go to Chicago and St. Louis to buy their goods" For these very per sons 1t is here reprinted.-Quincy Her lald.

Makinu Gardens.

A Chicago man has given $1,0OO to buy seed for gardens to be made in the vacant lots of the city. There is lhelp to noble municipal enterprise EThere is nothing that will so enhance the beauty of city as well-made gar ldens. A garden is the workshop of the soul It not only awakens the bet ter natures of men, but 1t crowns the table with vegetable delights that make good blood where greater spir its dwell. There is nothing that re fleets more joy than a well-made gar den It conduces to good citizenship 1t drives away selfishness, meanness grief, disappointment and fills the heart with beautiful impulses. Every vacant lot given over to waste is wasted opportunity, and indicates a lack of true enterprise in the citizen ship. There ought to be an organiza tion in every city to make the vacant lspots blossom as the rose. Talk about education-here Is a chance for the best that can be had.

Stranoe Potato Industries.

Towns in the Netherlands have sev eral ways of dealing with the surplus production of potatoes According to a recent consular report, there are now factories for drying potatoes, with an annual output of many thou sand bushels. CT these plants $50 are for the production of potato flakes, while in 86 the potatoes are dried by the hot air process Potato flakes can be used for feeding stock, for distilling alcohol, for making starch, and for the other purposes for which natural potatoes are used; or they can be ground and bol.ed to make potato flour. This flour is a yellowishw white product, rich in carbo-hy drates, and is used principally by bakers for adding to rye and wheat flour in making bread It is claimed that the addition of potato four gives the bread good flavor, makes it more digestible and keeps it fresh for a comparatively long time. It is also used to some extent in thickenins soups and sauces.

TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

A few months ago, when as a result of tiring from a most mls- erable service by the Brlnkley Water and Light people, a com- mittee of business men condemn ed the service, rates and water prevalent in Brinnley, 1t came up for action before your body.
 There were those in the city council who didn't care to vote for the resolution declaring the franchises of the company null and void until they had the city attorney write to MT. McGregor about his we'll. "
 Several months have passed, MT. McGregor has been in BTinkley several weeks, Ihe water goes off without moments notice to the public. (this morn ing an example,
 There's not penalizing clause in the ordinance for this and many like hardships that the people and patrons of the company have to suffer from. Will the city council say some thing that the public may under stand things?

Indian Eqq Dance.

Want a new dance? Why not try the Indian egg dance? Place IS eggs in rows on the floor and dance rapidly zigzag among them without breaking any of them-that's all. An expert says it takes four or five years of prac- tfce to become an adept and that learners will do well to use potatoes during the first two or three years of practice. It may be added that it Is advisable to use strictly fresh eggs at any stage of the game. The req son for this precaution can readily be understood by securing a defunct egg and breaking the shell suddenly with an ax

THE POLITICAL SCANDAL

The more disgusting and dis agreeable the political scandal at the State House becomes, the better it is for Arkansas. It's a pretty hard dose but if the entire people once become sick and tired of their own mistakes in turning the affairs of the state over to politicians they will change up and stop 1t all.
 The farmer, the merchant and in fact all have been inclined Tn years past to wash their hands of politics and let the politicians have full swing in the scramble for the various offices all the way up from Justice of the Peace and Constable to Governor.
 The miserable condition that exists in Arkansas today IS solely attributable to this shirklng ot duty by those who know better, and consequently the more dis gusting it becomes, the sooner a change will follow.
 In Monroe county this lesson has been burnt into the hide of every taxpayer in a peculiar way that wont rub off for some seV- eral years to come.

Smyrna.

Smyrna can lay claim to loftier lineage than perhaps any other city on the earth. It is her proud boast that from the earliest dawn of history down to the present bombardment her continuity of name and fame is un- broken. It is in this spirit that she claims Homer for citizen. His river the Meles, which gave him name runs near the city; and the cave is still shown where he wrote his poems Smyrna has not been slack in appro- priating Homer, endowing him even with local temple. The saddest chapters in the history of the city are those which record earthquakes and massacres of Greeks by Turks.
The Brinkley argus., 1915-07-02

YES, Brinkley is an incorporat- ed town, we have a Mayor, six Alderman and a Marshal. They know that the weeds are taking the town, that the mosquitoes are the sole distributors of the malaria germs, that the fly is the chief typhoid promoter, that driving over rough street cross ings tears their delivery wagons and harness to pieces just as 1t does the autos. The writer has high personal regard for each of these clever gentlemen but does not believe for one moment that a single one of them attends to his own business in the way that the affairs of the city are now being handled.

GARDEN NEEDS MUCH WATER
Humble Tomato Can May Be Presseo Into Service If Hose
 Cannot Be Used.

Water is a great help in the garden, sometimes doubling the crop. If hose cannot be used, it will save much work to sink a tomato can into the ground close beside some of the plants, lew holes having been made in the bot toms of the cans None of the water poured into these cans will be wasted Without water, cultivation must be continuous, for 1t locks up the mols- ture already in the soil.
 Of course the garden maker VIII want some berries, both strawberrles and raspberries. Let him plant Cnes- apeake, William Belt and Abingdon and he will have strawberries to cover the usual season By using the new variety Superb he can also have straw berries in the fall Perhaps the new raspberry called St. Regis IS the pest for the home garden. It will begin to fruit as early as any kind and there will be berries until the frost nips the blossoms. This is an excellent berry, too, red and having fine flavor. The dewberry is better than the blackberry for the garden, as it does not try to occupy all the surrounding country. The fruit is practically the same, and the Austin is a first-class variety. But if one must have the old-time black berry, let him choose the Wachusett, which is practically thornless.
 The best trees for the very small garden are those grown in dwarf form. They may never grow any higher than ones head and yet the fruit is quite as large as that produced by standard trees and very fine. Most of the com mon fruit trees are now sold in dwarf forms; they are very easy to care for and occupy but little room. In many gardens they are trained on walls or the sides of buildings, where they are entirely out of the way.

For Garden Plants.

An occasional pail or two of sudsy water from the washtub or dishpan helps garden plants wonderfully. It must be pretty well cooled before pouring 1t on. In fact, there is one writer who declares that if American farmers and gardeners knew how to make an intelligent use of waste ma terial, they could save thousands of dollars year in commercial fertilizer and reap much greater profits from their crops. Of course, fin small gar den the use of table waste is out of the question, though beet and carrot tops and the outside leaves of the let tuce heads could be buried in the soil without any trouble. Coffee grounds and tea leaves are good fertilizers for roses especially. Soot, too, and wood ashes are very fine.

NEED FOR CITY PLANNING
Many Intelligent Men Do Not seem '0 Understand What Is Meant
 by the Term.

MT. ]. Horace Mcfarland, president of the American Civic assoclation' took as the subject of his annual au- dress at the convention of the assocla- ttion in Washington, "Wanted-Ameri- can City Planning for American Cities" By way of introduction, ne lsaid: .It may truthfully be said that to the average intelligent American' he he mechanic or business man, ooc- tor or professor, preacher or politlclah' the words city planning at once re- fer themselves as part Of vague propaganda for the city beautiful, having to do with permanent or tempo rary courts of honor, extra illumlna- tions and other forms of munlclpai frippery. It is serious fact that this complete misunderstanding exists to such large extent among the many excellent people who call themseiVes t'practical,' and who really try to pc good citizens. This fundamental error ,of conception prevents these good peo- Eple most essentially necessary to the
 
 ing. from realizing that city planning which is at all worth while is con- cerned, first, with means of inter- communication, with transportatlon' with markets and house sites and fac tory locations, with water and sewer Iage, with parks and playgrounds, and all the other factors of prosperity, ef- hciency and convenience, rather than with appearance or ornament as es- .sentials. When we shall have estap- Ilished in the minds of these unknow- ing citizens the plain fundamentals oI that larger use of architectural and economic principles which have to do with the community efficient, there will be far less trouble in bringing about the use of common sense in those municipal operations concerned in the framework and structural de- tails of our towns and cities"

Not Fiatterinu to Smith.

Poor Smith was dead. In his time he went through the ups and downs of life, and finally departed from this vale or tears leaving Mrs. Smith the sole possessor of an ample fortune. Mrs. Smith tried all likely places for an inscription that would do justice to her departed husband, but none would suit till she came to the grave of the immortal poet Burns. She ordered a similar one, which was duly executed and ran thus: 'In memory of John Smith, manufacturer of fireworks, aged eighty-four. He is gone to the only place where his own works are eYcelled."

To Keep Milk From CurdlInu.

An important particular in which cows milk differs from mothers milk for feeding infants is that the former Is likely to curdle. Some children fed on cows milk are apt to suffer from the formation of large, tough curds. If citrate of soda is added to milk in the proportion of half dram of soda to pint Of milk no curds will be formed. Given in this proportion, citrate of soda is said to be entirely harmless and is often found very useful in feed ing infants. The addition of barley water or any other thin cereal grus. has much the same effect.

EvanoeIist Who Was an Actor.

George Whitefield qualified as boy for gameness in more than one di- rection. The future evangelist en- !oyed play acting. and performed in girls clothes before the mayor and corporation of Gloucester; while by the time he was fifteen he had become an expert ale drawer in the family public house. These pursuits, alien
 to the pulpit appear, however. to have been converted into aids to evan gelism. The youthful luvc of the stage no doubt helped to develop the tre- mendous histrionic gift which made Lord Chesterfield, on hearing White field describe a blind beggar's fall
 over a precipice, spring from his seat and exclaim: Good God. he's gone!'
