At The Presbyterian Church

The service at the eleven o'clock hour Sunday was not only unique, but very im- pressive. The ushers taking the greatest pains to seat the large congregation comfortably, and asked all over fifty years of age to occupy the center of the church. They were then re- quested to repeat a verse of some old song, their favorite, and tell why it was a favorite, and as each one readily respond ed MT. Mallard led in singing parts of old songs without an accompaniment, just as mother and father used to sing them.
 Rev. Grafton talked on the joy of a christian life, show ing the vast difference in the meaning of the words. joy and happiness. Following this, Rev. Grafton said that there were more than two hundred bouquets of violets there to be given to mothers, fathers, wives, hus- bands. children, and anyone who had been a blessing to any one there, to come forward and and pin the flowers on them. It was a busy time while the flow CTS were lovingly and tenderly given to nearly every one pres ent.
 In the afternoon Rev. Grafton talked to the men and boys only, and Mr Mallard sang, Mem ories of Mother.' In the even- ing the congregation was large and attentive.

If You Want To Be Loved

Don't contradict people, even if you're sure you are right.
 Don't underrate anything be- cause you don't possess it.
 Don't believe that everybody is happier than you.
 Don't conclude that you never had any opportunities in life.
 Don't believe all the evils you hear.
 Don't repeat gossip, even if it does interest crowd.
 Don't jeer at anybody's reli- gious belief.
 Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile.
 Learn to attend to your own business-a very important point.
 Few care whether you have an earach, headache or rheumatism.
 Don t be inquisitive about the affairs of even your most inti- mate friend.
 Do not try to be anything but gentleman or gentlewoman; and that means one who has consideration for the whole world, and whose life is govern ed by the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would be done by. Christian World.

A Special Message

Are you ever puzzled to know just how to do things? Are you sure you are raising just the crops that are most suited to your soil and climate? Are your yields as big as it is possible to make them? Are your methods of farming all that be desired? These are few of the many questions that arise to perpleX the progressive farmer of today.
 Farming is the most complex of all professions. A doctor can be a specialist in some branch of medicine, a lawyer is a spe- cialist in legal matters, a banker is a specialist in financial affairs, but a farmer must know about horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and all other kinds of live stock. He must understand soils and all the various crops grown upon soils. In order to systemize his farms and market his produce profit ably. he must be familiar with business methods. If his crops are attacked by insects or dis ease he must know how to con- bat them. If his stock gets sick he must know what to do before the veterinarian comes. It is obviously impossible for one man to learn all there is to be known about each and every phase of farm life. The Agri- cultural College, however, en- ploys men whose business it is to be specialists in these various lines. These men are at the service of the farmers who want information and can be reached through correspondence. A correspondence course can be secured covering any of the sub jects mentioned above and many others. These courses are free. The only cost will be the regular price of text books and a few cents for postage.
 For a booklet describing the correspondence courses, write the College of Agriculture, Fay etteville, Ark.

The Acid Tests Of Peace

The soldier digs himself a trench and crawls into it. Somebody several miles away, whom lie never sees and who never sees him, aims a large gun at him under telephonic di- rection and shoots. Such is the salient aspect. of war as describ- ed by all correspondents at the front. It would be difficult to imagine a more stupid employ ment. Nearly all soldiers have always been heroes-that is, they have stood up under fire when ordered to do so and charg- ed as commanded. If any body of troops in this war should re- fuse to obey a command that exposed them to death it would be considered extraordinary. You can take at random a mill ion men out of any modern na- tion and in a few months make good soldiers out of them. The number out of any million who will fail before the far more searching tests of civil life will be very much greater.
 You can hardly go amiss by pointing at random to any young healthy man in any crowd and saying: He will make a good soldier. r." To say that he will give a satisfactory account of himself under the much more trying conditions of ordinary life is a very different matter. To say that war develops heroism and character is the greatest nonsense. What it develops is blind obedience to a shoulder strap. A man meets twenty situations in civil life that really try his character to everyone he meets in war.
 More than two thousand years ago a Greek dramatist made one of his women characters exclaim: They say, while they fight with a spear, we, in our homes, lead life without danger. They say amiss; for 1 would rather thrice endure the shock of arms than once bring forth a child. Y" So would anyone else who is sufficiently informed of the two conditions to judge between them.

Diversity, But Be Cautious.

DlVCISIly, Dut DC VdullUuS.
 The agitation of the subject of diversification during the fall, opened the way for a good many to urge diversification who are the wisest councillors about farming. The subject of diver sfication is broad and deep and has many angles. It is an easy matter to advise a man to diver sify his crops and leave the sub- ject there: but that is not all.
 The man who diversifes is going to succeed or fail, accord ingly as he does it. Some who have been won to diversification, and away from so much cotton and corn, are going to substitute crops that will involve them in failure. just as surely as cotton and corn would. Some are going largely into the growing of potatoes, others are turning their attention to cantelopes. watermelons, cabbages, etc. It does not make so much differ ence what crops are grown, if they are produced at the lowest cost, and can be marketed at a profit.
 However, 1t should be remem- bered that diversification does not mean to quit raising one thing and go to raising another. Under that plan, the same old troubles would be met in a diff erent form. The Lord says in the Good Book to Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added unto you, :"
 It is wise to produce, first of all. the necessaries for home and farm use, and then grow the staple crops, such as corn and cotton. Cotton is a good money crop, if not depended on to buy everything else. Corn is a fine surplus crop. If it cannot be sold for cash at a good price it can be fed to stock, and sold at a good price in that way. A buShel of corn will make ten pounds of pork. But corn should not be fed to grow hogs. A little corn fed to growing hogs is all right, bluff you depend on corn entirely to grow your hogs, you will lose money. Pasture, sorghum, peas, soy beans, rape, skinned milk, middlings, rice polish. etc., are the things to grow hogs with, and corn is the thing to fatten them for the market with.
 Do not go too strong on pota toes and truck, unless you are a truck farmer. Anyway, a va riety is better than single crop. Get into the stock business as soon and as strong as you can. Get hog vaccination started in your neighborhood and stamp hog cholera out. You can do it. There will not be more than half as much fertilizer used this year as last. The people are too poor to buy it. There will be no fertilizer or feed inspec- tion after April first, and you should be careful what you buy

Halcombe- -Treadway Wedding

dings ever celebrated in Ozark was that which took place at the Methodist church Tuesday even- ing, March 16th, at S:30 D. m., when MT. and Mrs. A. H. Tread ways only daughter, Martha Ellen. was united in marriage to Mir. Nevelle Halcombe. The dec orations for the event were planned with rare good taste. The auditorium and chancel were attractively set with ferns and palms with large arch in front of the altar, entwined with English Ivy. and Carnations. While awaiting the entrance of the bridal party a musical pro- gram was rendered by Miss Sula Kate Benson, composed of the following selections: Sixtett, Barcarolle, Lohengrin Bridal Chorus. Alex Treadway, brother of the bride, then sang " Be- cause it is you.
 Promptly at 900, as the organ began the sweet strains of Men, delsohn's Wedding March, the brides maids and ushers came in at the front entrance, the maids going down the right aisle and the ushers the left. Miss Mary Blakeley, A. w. Dupriest, Nina Williams, Walter Maxey, Allie Hill. Roy Bell, Mary Clinton, Raymond Conatser, Ruth Powe, Dennis Davis, Byrd Quayle and Hayden Moore. The party form ed a semi-circle about the altar where stood Rev. Geo. Medium phy. Each maid carved a bas- ket of sweet peas.
 They were followed by little Miss Mary Johnston. who bore the ring: next came Miss Jettie Moore, maid of honor. The bride looking beautiful and attractive in her dress of crepe meteor with veil arranged in a becom- ing cap style, caught up with valley lilies. Her flowers were valley lilies and brides roses. They were met at the altar by Mir. Nevelle Holco mbe and his best man, MT. Claude Parrish. and as the joyous wedding march changed to Humoresque played softly Rev. Geo. McGlumphy said the sacred ceremony of the Methodist church.
 AS the bridal party left the altar Mendlesohn's Wedding March was taken up again.
 Here the party with relatives and intimate friends. were con- veyed to the Treadway home in automobiles where a reception was held. The bridal party formed in line and received con- gratulations and best wishes of all attending friends. The par lors were beautified with Jon quils and ferns, while in the dining room there was a profus- ion of sweet peas and smilaX.
 A delicious two-course luncheon was served.
 A handsome and costly array of presents of cut glass, pieces of silver and the beautiful needle work were shown.
 Miss Martha Treadway was born and grew to womanhood in Ozark. and has scores of friends who value her for her, honesty and sincerely as we'll as for her charming personality. She is much beloved here where she has ever been active in Sunday school. leagues and church work. Mir. Nevelle Holcombe is the only son of MT. and Mrs. Hol- comb of Morrilton, and is a gen. tleman of fine manly, upright character. They left Tuesday night for their plantation at Pendleton. where they will make

The movement of wheat must in
crease with weather favorable for
threshing and hauling of the grain to
the railway stations. The increase will
not only be in the spring wheat coun-
try, but Will also be seen in the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at Western mar
kets last week were 1851 900 bushels,
which was 100000 bushels in excess
of the previous week. but 100000

here were next to nothing. millers

There were declines of Ia to 1c in
