The Empty Sleeve
by John II. McLaughlin.)


Comes again grateful nation in Of her dead
Strew1ng every grave with roses roses white and pink
Planting there the emblem for which they 50 glad
ly died.
Died in flush of ardent boyhood, died height of
hoods pride.
And remnant of that legion that 81 nroudv marched
away
In the far off, suen Sixties passes with slow step today
Empty sleeves that sway and utter dmming eyes and
snowy hair
Furrowed faces showing plainly how their thoughts are
winging where
Back beyond the glow and glory of the sunshine and the
May
They had proved their noble manhood fifty weary years
away.
We who old children in those dim and dread
full days
Days when brother strove ganst brother meath
mons fearful haze;
When low sobbng in the darkness smote with dread the
childish ear
When the whole land seemed in mourning wrapped in uni
versa fear
Then just when the clouds breaking once again the
nation wept
Ger the passing of Martyr who through storm the Faith
had kept!
Bitter the days that followed but thank God they
passed away;
Strong in love- welded people stand beneath the Flag
today;
One IN heart ana nina ana purpose tlmeheaed now is
every scar,
Surely God has blessed country in world gone mad in
and for all the thousand blessings enjoy and hope
leave
To children we're behoden to that swaying empty
sleeve;
That truth will be remembered through the years that
are to
When the Nations march longer to the throb of
like drum;
and when but loving memry shall remain of those who
TO their country health and manhood for broken life
grave!
That grand story grzzed heroes shall for aye be fresh
and new
nation that had pershed for God and you
And your enrolled forever bazoned bright His
torys page
Will be for childrens children, their most precious
heritage. -.~ --.'-5

THE NEW SERUM PLANT
Location of Building Changed to Fa.
 ciitate Shipping of Serum.

Government statistics show that sc per cent of all the hogs that die in the United States die from hog choIe- ra. In the treatment of cholera among hogs the demand for anti-hog cholera serum has increased to such an extent that 1t was necessary to erect new building in which to manufacture the serum at Little Rock. The old build ing was located at Fayetteville The erection of the plant at Little Rock was done to facilitate the shipment of serum.
 A site for the building was secured near the Well Packing Company's plant and a modern sanitary building was constructed to meet large de- mands in Arkansas
 The veterinarian at the Experiment Station has held meetings at various places in the state at which he has given special instructions In the ad- ministration Of this serum. The farm demonstration agents have received special instructions in the use of anti hog cholera serum and these agents have already rendered great service in their counties in controlling this dread disease among hogs.
 By applying to the office of the stat1 veterinarian at Fayetteville or the state demonstration agents at the Old State House, Little Rock, or of your local county demonstration agent YOU can secure the aid you desire in com batting this disease, which can be ah, solutely controlled by the use of the serum.

THE BLISTER CANkER

Apple tree blister canker will never disappear once it has gained a foot hold in the apple tree It spreads so rapidly in the heart wood it soon in- vades the entire tree. The only rem edy for prevention is to keep all the wounds covered with a stiff white lead paint. Never use ready mixed paint. as it often contains gasoline or other injurious substances A little lamp black may be used if white paint is not desirable.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.
For the week ending Oct. 4. 1915.

For the week ending Oct. 4. 1915.
Des Moines, Iowa. The week was
cool, cloudy, and over the northern
CO.. IS EEOWery, although the rain
fall was generally less than tie nor.
ms. week as a whole was fair
ly f. t,o and corn made rapid pro-
gre coward maturity, Yet an aver
age Of moro than 600 reports show
only % per cent of the crop safe from
frost on October 1st Over the south
ern half of the state probably two
thirds OF the crop is safe from injury
except from a hard freeze, but over
the northern counties much of the
crop is still in the roasting ear stage
and not very far advanced in that.
Many fields failed to fertilize and
have nothing but husks and an en-
bTyo. cob.
Rapid progress was made during
the week in cutting corn, filling silos,
digging potatoes and blowing. and
mitch wheat was sown. The potato
crop is not up to expectations on &C.
count OF rot and blight. Grain thresh-
ed from stack is of much better quail
lty than that threshed from Shock.
October 5.-Heavy frost occurred
this morning in all parts of the state,
with freezing temperatures in many
localities in central and northern
counties

He Wanted His Father.

Little Albert Jackson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. r. Jackson, aged two
and a half years, couldn't understand
why his papa had gone away on a
visit and stayed from home so long.
50 he started out Monday to find and
bring home the missing parent. He
jumped astride his riding stick and
said he was going after his papa, but
no one gave. the childish statement
serious thought until the little fellow
was missed at his home, No. 500 A
avenue east. The police were mott.
ned and the boy scouts called out.
After search of four and a half
hours In which the entire city was
searched the baby was located at the
extreme southwest part of town, two
miles or more from his home. He
was tired and much worn laddie
but was none the worse TODAY from
the experience. and moreover his
papa is with him today.
