PAPERS RAP FOOTBALL GAME
British Press Express Indignation Be. cause Players Refuse to Enlist
 Urge It's Eradication.

Indignation against the hitherto pop. ular game of football is expressed by nearly the entire British press be. cause almost no men enlisted as a result of the recruiting rallies at re. cent matches.
 Tt is time to eradicate the football cancer says the Pall Mall Gazette, in an article which goes on to say that not a single man was recruited at London's principal football match, which was attended by 15,OO0 specta. tors.
 A colonel who lost a son at the front and was himself returning to the firing line appeared at this game, says the paper, and pleaded with the men to enlist.
 "As soldier ask you," said the colonel. q say come, your country needs you."'.
 Then his words were drowned by shouts when the teams came on the field, continues the paper, which adds that in other parts of the country the same stolid refusal greeted the bands of speakers and recruiting officers. No recruits were obtained at Nottingham, where 1000: spectators attended a match. and no one was recruited at Brighton ..
 The Evening Standard says that the total result of the countryside move ment was one recruit.
 "1s football such passion that noth. ing on earth can stop it?'.says the Standard. Vigorous youth should be powerfully persuaded that this is not the time for the development, of any passion save love of country
 The Westminster Gazette says there is only one way in which the football association can put itself right in the eyes of the public, and that is by dis. continuing it's program.

 at the headquarters of the club in Philadelphia, that MT. Robin greatly prefers house of his own structure, while Mrs. Wren, or the Martins, will look in upon a new bird house built with much care and decide not to take it at all, or if they move in, they will stay little while, then suddenly leave without notice or apparent reason.
 Some older members of the club who are patient bird lovers and stu dents, have found out that bird resi- dents like individuals, have decided tastes in the matter of homes, which must be catered to. It has been dis covered that the blue jay, who has es. tablished her independent, economic status by the number of grasshoppers, caterpillars, bugs, beetles, cutworms, weevils, ticks and plant lice she con- sumes is a fierce little militant who demands separate establishment far removed from any neighbors, with which she refuses to associate. On the other hand, the beautiful purple martin maintains a dove-like disposi. tion in spite of a steady wasp and other aggressive Insect diet, and must have company or she will move. She is happiest in cooperative establish ment of some thirty or more apart ments. She lives up to the nonre- sistance theory to such an extent if not protected she is easily driven away by the quarrelsome English sparrow:

What to Learn.

There are five things in life which we ought to learn. Here they are:
 1. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine
 2. Learn how to tell a helpful story. A weH-told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in sickroom.
 3. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to finger over your ills and sorrows.
 4. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in this world, keep the bad to yourself.
 5. Learn to greet your friends with a smile. They carry too many frowns In their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Rome, N. Y.-An Adirondack guide dropped into Boonville, north of this city, the other day to lay in his winter supply of provisions, traps, ammuni- tion and clothing, and told of his in- genious capture, alive, of big buck.

There is no better way of interest ing the boys in farm life than to get them started in some part of the work. Let them form clubs of differ ent kinds. Clubs for the protection of birds; clubs for growing pigs, corn and other products. It should not be difficult To get them interested in a club for the purpose of securing an ample supply of wood for the winter.

farm are excellent for that purpose
 It is a good thing to get up the supply of wood for the winter, before the deep snow comes on. Skid the logs out and haul them down to the house. Roll them in good sized snug piles handy to the sawmill, if you have one, or to the skidway, if you cut them up with a cross-cut saw. It's nice to have the log-way near the woodhouse, so you can throw the blocks in and split them up in there. If the house is behind the barn or some other building, it will help to. keep off the hard winds while you are at work.

PLANS ONE GREEN TO
 SERVE EIGHTEEN TEES

An 18-ho1e golf course in a 4O- acre tract is the idea of a Scotch golfer. His plan is to lay out a perfect putting green in the center of the tract and place the IS tees at varying dis tances and at different angles about the green like the spokes of a wheel The brilliant thought occurred to him while watching a clock golf putting competition.
 Needless to say, the plan would be useless for clubs, as the spectacle of IS foursomes approaching the same green from IS different directions would be appalling. For a pri- vate course to be used only by the owner and his friends the scheme might be worth con- sideration.

MINING NOTES

The Madison mine, near Zinc,
shipped a car load of high grade
concentrates last week.
On last Saturday zinc ore again
sold for 500 per ton which greatly
stimulated the activity in mining
circles.
Conservative parties place the
number of cars of ore shipped from
the North Arkansas field during the
month of October at over 90.
0. NJ. Headly who owns the Short
Mountain mine, near Lead Hill, has
leased it to Dallas, Texas, parties
who will erect a mill at once and
install such other machinery as is
necessary to carry on extensi We
mining operations.
Mrs. John A. Bunch returned the
first of the week from an extended
visit in Marion county during which
she gave leases on several mining
properties, including the Zinc Basin
Mine on Clabber Creek which is
owned by the United Zinc Co.
If YOU have only few dollars and
want to in the mining game, you
can find property here to suit
your capital, and from which you
can make money. If you have a
million, and want to make another
million, you can find the property
adequate to your capital which will
yield you large dividends YeHyilie
Echo.
The White Edgle mine on Buffalo,
which has always been a great pro-
ducer. bids fair to break all former
records, as the ore run is now
heavier than ever before. In one of
the tunnels three men are now TAX
ing out from to 4 tons of high
grade free ore. The management
is now having two other tunnels
opened up, and have struck a heavy
run of free ore in each of them.
Que of tn e largest transactions in
the North A rkansas zinc field during
the past few months is the sale of
the lease on the Red Cloud mine bv
the Gertrude Mining Company to
B. z. Sharpe of Los Angeles, Cal,
who has been in the field tor several
months. 1t is said the price was
$25,000 The lease has nearly FIVE
years to run. The Red Cloud is a
we'll developed property, and during
the past year has been a big pro-
ducer.
The mining boom Of the White
river country has been the cause Of
other and important developments
of this section. The Iron Mountain
railroad will build a line from
Buffalo, on the White River division,
to Rush, the mining town Of Marion
county. The road will increase
mine development work in at least
two counties, Marion and Searcy,
and afford cheaper and easier means
of transportating the zinc ore to the
markets.

OF Half Mile Standard Road
Per Day.

County Judge Freezing, ". F. Cor,

$500 for the purpose of purchas.
ing and operating powerful motor
and grader for our roads, and it is
thought the machinery being shown
at Berryville may meet the demand.
As we understand the outfit in.
cludes 30.horse motor and a grad
et which combines all modern i'm
provements, and is capable OF max
ing ideal highway at the rate OF
half mile per day.
So satisfactory has this outfit
proven in Baxter county that it is
likely that bonds will be issued to
supply that county with two more
sets to be used in different sections.
Those who have studied the mat
Ter claim that, with crew persist
emily operating this combination,
there will be little need for road
bonds in Boone county, as the priu,
cipal roads may be put in good
shape within year.
Three or four days of demonstra-
ton work will be done near Berry
vile, and during this time the effici-
ency Of the grader, plow, etc, will
be thoroughly tested.
