Cosby Letter From Capi.
 tol City.
By CLIO HARPER

Little Rock, Nov. 2-One of the most encouraging features of the campaign for the New Agriculture in Arkansas is the fact that the County Quorum Courts have appropriated $50. 900 for carrying on the work that is being directed by the United States Department of Agricul- ture. Thirty-fiye counties have reported appropriations for farm demonstration and canning club work, in sums ranging from $75O in Woodruff county to $4. 26O in Arkansas county. At least twelve counties refused to make appropriations.
 Already the effects of these campaigns are manifest in the increased acreage of money crops other than cotton that are being raised in Arkansas. The increase for 1915 has been tre- mendous. For 1916 it will still be greater. Former Congress man T. c. McRea, of Prescott, who is making campaign of the state for Governor, says that he has not witnessed such genuine prosperity in the state in many years. The farmers are we'll provided for, and as a rule are getting out of debt.

Brinkley Has a "Sane
 Halloween"

For the first time in several years Brinkley enjoyed the novelty of experiencing a per fectly sane Halloween.
 For several years heretofore the town has been torn up so to speak, by thoughtless ghosts. Hundreds of dollars in damages have been done and the citizen ship disgraced by the appearant maudlin acts of the node on this this night.
 It is reported that Supt. of Public Schools John Baumgartner is in way responsible for the change up." He is said to have appealed to the loyalty and manhood of the young people of the schools and thus the change was wrought.
 On Saturday night, Prof. Baumgartner, out of appreciation for the boys, accompanied about 45 of them on an all night hike camp. The boys all carried quilts and rations and pitched camp in the woods about 3 miles north of the city, where they enjoyed a fine time of it.
 Chief of Police Clayte Owen was Ion the job" and used his influence and authority to inn press on all that Brinkley has turned over a new leaf.
 ' All hats off to Prof. Baum gartner to the manly young people of the city and to Marshall Owen.

AppCdiS.
 This would in itself slave the matter off for a long time.
 But it is contended by some of our most experienced financiers and business men of the county that there is not the slightest occasion for worry by the tax payers of Monroe county even if the U. s. Supreme Court should affirm the decission of the Lower Court as it would not be possible to force the Board of Equaliza- tion and Assessor to establish a confiscatory valuation.
 The county has been ably represented in this case by Thomas & Lee, of Clarendon, and by c. F. Greenlee. of this city. Mir. Greenlee prepared the Brief for Petitioners in the U. s. Supreme Court and made two trips to Washington in connec- tion with the case, formally filing brief on Oct. 18th. The brief. like all prepared by the Judge, is splendidly and cor rectly arranged and it is but justice to him to state that the denial of petition for the writ of certiorari by the U. s. Supreme Court was not a surprise for that great tribunal passes up" hundred of such cases to one that they take up.

onix Remedy for ssIfishness.

What Is most pitiful and at tho came time amusing about the people who give themselves up to selhshness is their habit of referring the whole universe to themselves. It Is as if they were at the center, with all life radiating about them. Through their false sense of adjustment they fino themselves continually subjected to disappointing and irritating and dis piriting adventures. Attitude, re marks, behavior. perhaps not in the least related to themselves, they cause to assume an imaginary relation Their feelings are likely to be in a continual state of turmoil. They en courage it by persisting in the beliei that the trouble lies outside. And yet the remedy is always waiting for them in their consciousness. To make life over they need only to make oveI themselves.

mus was stirred up against Charley
Murphy. Fans grabbed at the tag and
nothing was too bad to say about the
ex-president. Whether it was de-
served or not is not the matter under
discussion.
From roasting Murphy it was only
step to roasting the players. That
was manifestly unfair and showed
poor craftsmanship. No matter what
accusations might be brought against
the executive, certainly the players
were not responsible. If there was
such hard feeling, the proper thing
to do was to stay away from the park.
It wasn't square to roast the players.
Last year some of this sentiment
died out, though it was still more
prominent than good craftsmanship
demanded. Tommy Leach had a
strong following and so did Vic Safer.
The remainder of the players, with
the possible exception of Jimmy
Archer, were forced to get along with |
the jeers of the fans ringing in their
ears at every misplay. If the average |
citizen was roasted for every mis- |
take as heartily as ballplayer is he |
would soon tire of his job.
There should be different spirit |
this season. The team is getting prac-
tically a fresh start. Bresnahan is
having his first chance as manager,
and some of the men are new to reg
ular big league company. They will
need all the help they can get from
the spectators.
In the team itself there is a differ
ent spirit. Bresnahan has put some
fire and determination in the troop,
and each fellow is starting the sea-
son with determination to do his
level best. Every fan should help this
spirit to remain by boosting good

If you have ever had the good for
tune 10 witness Il company of Uncle
Sans sailors ON parade you have I'm
doubtedly felt a wave Of admiration
and pride surge over you at the sight
of so magnificent a body Of men, eX
hibiting health aud strength in every
line And you have perhaps pOndered
the causes that combine to produce
such stalwart specimens of manhood,
for in no nation in the world is there
a finer, stronger. healthier body of men
than those who man the lighting ships
of the United States navy.
One of the most important factors
contributing TO achieve this physical
perfection in the naval personnel Is the
food-the ration" as the three meals
a day are termed. 1t is upon the foun
dation of food hygiene that the other
health giving factors in our man-o'-
wars mems daily routine find per
feet base on which TO build.
The ration compOnents are fixed by
law. which specifically states what ar
ticles of food and how much of each
shall be served to the enlisted person
mel daily. Thus the task is set to pro
cure the different items of food and
see that they are prepared in manner
calculated to make them most attrac-
tive and nutritious.
Marketing for the navy has been
evolved into a most elaborate and sci
enrifc' system. and when it is consider
ed that the navy market basket must
provide for over 10000 men every day
1T is apparent that the task is no small
one. Like the wise, discriminating
housewife. the government demands
and gets always the best in quality and
purity i'm every article of food that Is
purchased for the men. Take for ex-
ample. from among the innumerable
items comprising the ration, the prin
cipal item, meat. This one item is pur-
chased i'm great quantities, from 500,-
600 to 100000 pounds being not In
frequently purchased a. one time. This
meat, including several kinds. such as
beef, pork. veal, fowl etc., is pur.
chased after advertising for bids which
must be based on carefully prepared
specifications that will admit of only
the best products the markets Of the
world afford being accepted. When
the contract has been consummated
and deliveries commence. expert In
spectors are detailed to see that the
smallest detail of the specifications as

promulgated by the Paymaster General
mo provision requsition will hereafter
call for any food substitute.
Adequate and satisfactory subsistence
is the very foundation not only Of real
efficiency, but of discipline itself There
is no class of purchases for the naval
service that needs to be more constant
ly watched than provisions. our men
being no poison squad but American
citizens, for whom we stand in the re-
lation Of trustee in so far as relates to
the question Of food"
1t is OF timely interest to mention
that not many weeks ago the mother
of one of the bluejackets wrote a let
ter to the Navy Department in which
she complained that her boy was too
well fed on board ship. for when he
came home on visit her table. which
was always well maintained. did not
suit him any more.
1t is of common knowledge that
cleanliness is a cardinal virtue through
out the navy, and this fact deeply i'm
presses itself on one after a visit TO
the galley and bakery Of a Dread
naught Scrupulously clean and bright
are they always to be found
The tiled floors Of the galley and
bakery are scrubbed many times each
day. the big brass coffee urns and broil-
ing pots are cleaned inside and out
daily. and all cooking utensils are Civ
en- frequent daily baths in scalding
water. nor is this daily routine OF
cleanliness ever skimDed. because of.
fetal inspections are frequent and at
unexpected times. so that there Is every
incentive for those in charge Of these
places to maintain with unvarying ex
actitude degree of cleanliness which
could not he In fact exceeded by the
mayor OF Spotlesstown himself.
Doing the Dishes" which is so un-
inviting a task in the average home.
is no task at all on board ship. for
down In the scullery there is the most
modern machinery for automatically
washing and drying all OF the mess
gear, and II does the job thoroughly
and quickly.
And thus 1t is seen that Uncle Sam
administers wisely and with generous
hand this phase Of the sailors life. No
matter how well his home table was
maintained, the bluejacket is well con-
tent and satisfied with his three square
meals a day In the navy, and IL you
ask him how he likes the navy cuisine
he will invariably answer "Bullyi"

tive manner as the family table at
sure Of getting just as much of every
thing as he wants.
The daily bill OF fare is by no means
stereotyped. for ii varies every day
and is never the same this week as II
was the week before
In contrast with the present day gen
eral mess aboard ship it is interesting
TO look back and see how a hundred
years ago our sailors lived In this re
spect. In those days the men did not
have tables upon which 10 eat, but
spread a "mess cloth" upon the deck
in their respective gun rooms and
squatted on the floor around the fes
tive cloth. The ration then. as now,
was governed by law, which specified
exactly what articles and how much
of each would be issued TO the men
daily, and the following extract from
the law approved March 81 1894, is
herewith quoted to show how frugal
was the sailors menu in those days:
Sunday.-One pound OF bread, one and
one-half pounds Of beef, half pint Of rice
Monday.-One pound OF bread. one
pound Of pork, half pint Of peas or beans
four ounces of cheese.
Tuesday.-One and one-half pounds of
beef, one pound Of potatoes or turnps and
pudding
Wednesday Two ounces OF butter or In
lieu thereof six ounces Of molasses. four
ounces Of cheese and half pint of rice.
Thursday.-One pound Of pork. half pint
OF peas or beans.
Friday.-One pound Of salt fish, two
ounces Of butter or one gill of oil and
one pound Of potatoes.
Saturday.-One pound Of pork. half pint
Of peas or beans and four ounces Of
cheese, and there shall be allowed one
half pint Of distilled spirits per day or
