Landlord And Tenant.

We, the Committee represent ing the Farmers Club of Alix, Altus, Denning and Greenwood, wish to submit to the public of Arkansas the following proposi- tion in regard to the land rent in Arkansas.
 Proposition: That the landlord be allowed ten per cent on the valuation of his land as assessed on the tax books.
 That there be a limitation or maximum placed on all lands that are for rent.
 There are three reasons why Arkansas should have a law like this.
 First: it will increase the taxes of the state, because every land owner who has land for sale will assess his land at the maxi mum or Illumination allowed bv the law.
 Second: it will give the tenant lower rent, and a large majority of the farmers of the State are tenant farmers. Third: it will give the tenant farmer a chance to diversity, because the landlord will get his stipulated rent, and will there fore not require the renter to put in or cultivate a one line crop,
 The soil of Arkansas is fast becoming impoverished and will continue to do so without diver sification. How can we diversi- fly when the maj ority of the farmers are tenants, and com pelled to raise a one line crop?
 Texas has just passed a bill regulating the rent. Arkansas can't afford to be second to any state.
 We, the committee, with the aid of all the papers that are willing and not afraid to fight the laborer's fight. are going to keep this before the people, and and if necessary initiate an amendment to the Constitution in 1918.

Skinny's Finish.

Being a little short of material this week we asked the devil to write us short article against the use of slang. He did. Here it is:
 If there is anything that gets our Nanny it is the use of slang. Some guys spill so much of that kind of dope that it is hard to get wise to their spell. Kids should be put next by their par ents that slang is on the Fritz and should ought to be cut ont. If I had a kid that couldn't put over straight stuff l would wal lop the lining out of the lobster. Skirts are shines, proper when it comes to slang. They think that mercy, and should say not are real tough. The Boss is dish of prunes when it comes to slang. He bawls me out to a fair ye we'll and 1 am in Dutch from the time I come on the job till having time in the evening. This is the first time l have ever wrote and if it don't show up in the rag I will know it is a flivver proper.

Wish You Was Here

got a card from Steve t'day, doggone his travelling skin. He's up around Niag'ry Falls a-writin' home ag'in. Seems like that boys one glory is to wander fur an free, an fuder off he gifts, l yum; tn more he writes to me. He sends these pictur' postal cards, with photos showing that tn world is allus beautif'lest where you ain't liv- ing at. His messages read all tn same; in letters large and clear he writes from Maine or kankakee an says" Wish you was heren.'
 Nobody ever seems to know just when he'll go or where, we get his destination from tn card that says he's there. An he ain't more than settled down to loaf a day or two till he gets thinkin' up the names of ev'ry one he knew, an then with ever doggone cent he possibly kin spare he buys tn Unitary church the Depot an the Square. He buys bout ev'rything they is in Bath or Belvidere, then mails the whole blame business home and say Wish you was here!.'
 guess he's at Niag'ry now; he was last time he wrote, but that don't prove exclusively he ain't in Terry Hote. He may be down in Panama CT snoopin' round in Nome, nobody knows just where he's at except he ain't at home. l guess we'd never near from him fer months and mebby years if some kind soul had not devised these pictur' souvenirs.

Marse Henrii's Greed.

About every so often the news papers of the land print "Marse Henri's Creed" otherwise a little preachment by Henry Wat. terson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, dean of American, phil osopher. sage. orator and poet. And it is to be hoped that the papers will keep it up even unto the end of journalism, for it con- tains that which should be ham, mered into the head and melted and poured into the heart of every man whose duty or pleas ure it is to write for the press. Attend ye, therefore, Scribes and Pharisees, to that which is written:
 ITO print nothing of a man which we would not say to his face; to print nothing of a man in malice: to look well and think twice before consigning a sus- pect to the ruin of printers ink; to respect the old and defend the weak, and, lastly, at work and play. daytime and nighttime. to be good to the girls and square with the boys, for hath it not been written, Of such is the kingdom of heaven "
The Spectator., 1915-03-12

you dispose of a thing by saying it is from the earth. It doesn't make the lily less beautiful to say that it sprang from the ground. It doesn't make a mothers love less divine to say that it is development of the lower animals. We value religion for what it is. By their fruits ye shall know them. So, if religion, with its fruits of re- deemed lives, comes from the earth, then perhaps what we need to revise is our opinion, not of religion, but of the earth.

But The Earth May Be Divine

Some travelling men, spending Sunday in little Kansas town got to discussing religion as they sat in the hotel lobby. 'I don't put much stock in it, " said one, "I believe that it has come up from the earth and not down from heaven.
 You mean, suppose. in- quired another, that this is a natural development" Yes, that it is natural and not super natural. That it isn't divine revelation. :"
 Alright, said the second. Let's assume that it is from the earth as you say. 1 suppose you regard us humans as earth products, just as you regard re- ligion" Certainly"
 Then all our ideals and aspi- rations are from the earth. Love and self-sacrifice are from the earth. Beauty and nobility and the passion for service are from the earth. The great ideals of justice and mercy of the Hebrew prophets are earth born. So is the sublime charac- ter. So is the devotion that has animated the long line of leaders of humanity.
 If everything we have learn ed to cherish and hold in rever- ence is an earth product, I don t know that 1 can object to your origin of religion. Ishould 1 even say, that to our blind eyes some | of earth's products are divine.

He Could Quote Scripture.

The militant young minister of backwoods congregation had managed, through political friends, to obtain an appoint ment as chaplain in state pen itentiary. He had not been very happy in his position as leader of a hard-headed, hard : listed, parsimonious farmer folk, and let the congregation know 1t on the occasion of his final sermon.
 Brethren" he said, I'm bidding you goodbye. The Lord doesn't love this church. for never bury any of you. You don't love each other. for never marry any of you. You don't love me, for you havn't paid me my salary for the past year. You have been liberal with potatoes. discarded peaches, and bad apples and by your fruits ye shall be judged. 1 am leaving you. Whither go, ye can not go; but l go to prepare a place for you.' Amen!"
