ONE PAYDAY FOR

After tomorrow night, when the

it is stated. and then if a new associa-
ton has not been formed President

affairs and run them as best he may.
What was 10 be done had not been an
nounced today. Prospects seemed poor
for a new association at Bloomington
though efforts to form one are being
made. and no other town has been
discovered which wants the team and
franchise. Springfield has been refer
red to as the leagues chief hope, but
there is no sentiment in favor OF base
bali there, as is indicated by the fol-
lowing from the Springfield News
Record;
with every new moon Springfield
gets another crack at one Of the loose
Three-Eye league franchises, but this
time the local fish viii not even excite
themselves about the bait
Last night the Bloomington club
directors decided that they did not
want their franchise any longer be
cause the team was making such
poor showing. They voted unanimous
" to surrender II TO President Tear

Springfield might get il.
We don't want it, Tom Allen, sec

"Hello! That you. deaf?" "Yes." ''I'm going to bring Green up to sup. per tonight. We're on the way now" "For goodness sake, how many times have l told you never to invite your fool friends up here without giving me notice? l haven't a thing in the house. You make me tired. Eve been work ing hard all day and was going to have just a little picked-up lunch tonight. and now you spring Green on me at the last minute. You must think like to stand around hot stove. tell you right now you're not going to get any swell meal tonight. You'll get yesterdays cold lamb and some warmed-over potatoes, and 1T he doesn't like that he can lump it." Yes. dear. that's fine. Just the thing. We'll be right up" What did she say?" She's tickled to death to have you come. Said she'd been wondering why l hadn't brought you up before. Come on."

MakinQ ThinQs Even.

It would be difficult to find a region where the ups and downs of fortune have been so sudden and extreme as in California. In it's early days, be- fore it's production of grain was equal to the demand, wages of farm hands were high, but as production increased the prices lowered faster than the rate of wages. A farmer employed an ln- dustrious Irishman for five years, at the rate of fifty dollars month "and found"-board, lodging, washing, and mending. At the end Of the term he said to his man: q can't afford to pay you the wages I have been paying. You have saved money, and have saved nothing. At this rate you will soon own my farm" Then I'll hire you to work for me-" said the other, land you can get your farm back again"

point of death in a local hospital the result of injuries sustained in mysterious manner Saturday night Those familiar with the nature of his injuries and with his movements ,n mediately preceding the accident are convinced that he was hit by an auto,, driven by reckless and brutal person. The autoist who wounded Sol Hewitt knew just about what he had done, and sped away into the darkness, leaving his victim to die. Perhaps, he hoped for that very con- tings ncy, fearing the consequences of hIs Carclessncss.
 Will Pine Bluff wait until some body is killed before taking steps to protect pedestrians and careful drivers of .vshicles?

MN INE BLUFF ROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
"DON'T ROCK THE BOAT.'

The German reply to the Unitel States note does not provoke the slightest inclination to violate tho rlesident's injunction, "Don't rock the boat"
 This is because we have ample confidence in the ability of Pres dent Wilson to bring Germany to terms satisfactory to the United States. And having this confidence, we can S no reason for us to get "all het up" before there is ample occasioE therefor. Sides that, there's no good to be accomplished by becom- ing excited at this time.
 Nor can we find it in our hearts to condemn the phraselogy and tenor of the German reply. Admitting that the kaisers government ignored the main issue; admitting that in doing so it was guilty of breach of respect due the communities ton of the United States is it likely that any other government would have adopted a vastly different course under the same circumstances?
 Germany realizes that it's most powerful arm of military service just now is it's submarine flotilla. It is not to be blamed for regarding with reluctance any proposition to paralyze that arm. Germany docs not desire to provoke conflict with the United States by making defiant answer Hence, there was no course open for Germany save the one that would offer opportunity for delay. This it adopted.
 Germany was at fault in destroy ing the lives of Americans on the Lusitania, but We cannot blame her for endeavoring to hold onto her best weapon against her enemies.
 Nor can we sec how it would help matters any for the United States to rush into the conflict. We bslieve the honor of the country can be nan- tained without sacrifice of fife, and
 We firmly believe in President Wilson's ability to uphold the na. tion's honor, and to maintain respect for the stars and Stripes wherever in the world the banner of liberty and freedom may float.

I had always found 1t nearly impos. sible to keep an old and much used bowl clean until told by friend, for merly a plumber, this secret. Try it and you will be amazed at result with labor and time expended: Make a swab of an old cloth on the end of a stick. tie securely so 1t will not work off; bail out the water with small cup or cover so you can cleanse away down: tEen purchase five or ten cents worth of muriatic acid which is poison: turn little on An old saucer. dip the swab in and apply to all parts of the bowl, and in five min utes your work will be complete. Great care must be taken not to touch tho acid, as it will burn quickly and dseply.--Exchange.

Olive oil in Nuraerv.

For a child who is emaciated from illness a massage with olive oil once or even twice day will supply the needed fat to the body and also lubri- cate the dried-out skin. A teaspoon full of olive oil three times a Jay is a good tonic, good for digestion and a mild laxative when given to a baby an hour before or after a feeding. It will also soothe tickling cough. Olive oil is also healing for burns. chapped lips and hands.

SmaIl.Caliber Martinets.

All public institutions, here assert. should have as their employees only people who are courteous, pleasant and kind. One of the greatest hard. ships of poverty is to be obliged to face the autocratic martinets who seem to guard the doorways of all such organizations.

RECKLESS DRIVING AND \
 RESULT.

The people of Pine Bluff are al most unanimous in the den and that reckless drivers of automobiles shall be arrested and prosecuted 70 the fullest extent: Many condemn the police because half-a-dozen or more speed fiends are not in police court every morning. These forget that few members of the local force gre built for speed, and, even if they were. they are not provided Wi,h st steedcm eters, hence could not ac- curately testify as to how rapidly they were moving Ill chase cf the speed-law violatOr.

Wonders in Clod of Earth.

A clod of earth may not seem to have any romance about it, but it Is one of the most wonderful things im- aginable. The soil is a living ma chine, where microbes so small that ten to one hundred million are con tained in enough earth to cover a penny are working together in sys- tematic way. They cannot be seen and are only known by their work, aud the greatest benefactors of the human race are those who promote their activities. The wise gardener looks after their wen-being, for with out them there could be no plant life and no human life, since all nutriment is drawn from the soil.

RAISE INFERTILE EGGS.
Fertile Egg Great Source Of Loss III Summer-keep Male Bird Out Of
 Flock After Matching Season.

It is conservatively estimated that there is an annual loss in eggs Ill thls country of $45 ,O00,00 Practically all of this enormous loss is sustained by the farmers of this country, as It IS on the general farms that the great bulk of eggs is produced. A very great part of this loss can be pre- vented by the production of intertlle eggs, which are laid by hens that do not have male bird with them. The male bird has no influence whatever on the number of eggs laid. There fore. as soon as the matching season is over the male should be removed from the flock.
 The greatest trouble from blood rings in eggs occurs in hot weather. Special care should; be given to. the gathering and storing of the eggs during the late spring and summer months. At these times the eggs should be gathered at least twice day, placed in room or cellar where the temperature does not rise aDoVe 70 degrees F., and marketed two or three times a week.
 Blood rings are caused by the de- velopment of the embryo of fertile egg and it's subsequent death. 1t IS impcssible to hatch an infertlle egg or cause a blood ring to form in one. It is generally considered that eggs become infertlle from to IA days after the male bird is removed from the flock. Repeated experiments have shown that where fertile and infertile
 
 tions, the fertile eggs spoiled much quicker, due to the fact that they deteriorate faster than infertlle eggs in the average summer temperature. Summer heat has the same effect as the hen or incubator on fertile eggs. Sell, kill or confine the male blrd as soon as the hatching season IS over,

Post Office. In Two Countries.
 Beebe Plain, Que. has what Is said to be the only double post office in the world. The office is half in Can ada and half in the States, with Beebe, Quebec. on one side. and Beebe, Vermont. on the other An iron post in the middle of the front porch marks the international boundary line. Aside from its location the building is of interest on account of the ma terial from which it is built, which Is granite, native to the locality, and on account of it's age, which is about a century. The two prosperous commu- mites, which it serves, and which are practically one village, have a population of about 1000, and are said to own moro automobiles than any other village of this size in Canada.

Characters of Justice.

It is finely said by Plato that as the knowledge that is divested of justice deserves the appellation of. cunning, rather than wisdom, so a mind unsus' ceptible of fear. if animated by private interest and not public utility, deserves the character of audaciousness, rather than of fortitude. We therefore require that all men of courage and magnanim- ity should be at the same time men of virtue and of simplicity. lovers of truth, and enemies to all deceit, for these are the main characters of jus tice.-Cicer0. --.- ,s+a
