Innocent have sounded call for relief,

length and breadth of this country for
peace. Every one seems sobered and
serious and determined. That one
word has taken on a new significance,
new neutrality-suspicious. for hui

and onward course Of civilization, peace
and rest and tranquility for the mil

In body, royalty and subject together
In the present awful European con-
flict. They desire a cessation forever
of the super-cruel methods of warfare
as a means of settlement of interna-
tional contention.
Each closing day hope looks forward
to the morning, longing that word shall
come that our brothers In Europe shall
have laid aside their arms. That glo-
rious day must come. and when it does
will 1t not be possible to respond to the
worlds wall that the sword Of anger
and of hate be sheathed foreverf Then
shall come the time for international
convention and treaty. Great states

tremendous document Speaking out
of inexperience and from afar among
myriad minds, we ourselves hope that

now being waged with such titanic
fierceness, hellish weapons and awful
consequences. The Exposition being

terms Of equality, could fittingly, with
out prejudice or embarrassment, be
used for peace conference designed

Is praying.
New Cycle Of Brotherly Love.
One effect of the war now In prog
ress will be to emphasize the impor-
lance Of and intensity the interest In
the great international peace congress
projected by the management Of the
Exposition. Let US hope that this war
may be recorded history before this
congress convenes. The horrors of
present day warfare will then be fully
appreciated, and those most directly
affected may be available with their
experience and advice to assist in pre-
pairing a code Of international law and
police powers and provide such other
recommendations as may be best At

ted 10 insure lasting peace.
And when we look into the future
may we find the new cycle Of brotherly
love superseding the discord Of today.
May the settlement Of international
strife by war and blood and suffering
and devastation be supplanted by con-
ference and negotiation and arbitra-
ton; then will follow rest and peace
and contentment for the everlasting
enjoyment Of mankind. AS John G.
Whittier beautifully expressed 1t In
his Centennial hymn in 1875:
Oh make thou us through centuries long
In peace secure in justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards Of thy righteous law,
And cast in some diviner mold,
Let the new cycle shame the old.

April "a, 1915.
Dear Mrs. Thompson.
Ithas been a long time since I
have seen a copy OF the Oxford
Eagle. l trust however, that il
is still flying about in the land
and carrying JOY and gladness to
many hearts.
Thinking that your many read
r might be glad TO hear some
thing about the great State of
Arkansas. l will try and give you
a short account of a great peach
Orchard, which is in Pike county
about 20 miles from this place,
! situated on the line of the NJ. G..
& D., r. R., which has Just been
completed to this city. There are
$500 acres in Elberta peaches
laid in streets, and subdivisions,
10 acres to the block. 1t is about
8 miles across the orchard east
and west. It has a railroad run
ming into it with several stations
called the Packing House. where
they pack from 70 to - cars each
day during the harvest. The
highest point in this place is 800
feet above sea level. To the
north of thle orchard lies the
Little Missouri River Valley 2O0
or $50 feet below that of the
orchard. This immense valley
70 toe north of the orchard. acts
as a draw as the same as flues,
which draws the cold air down
into this valley, and the warm
J air remains on top of the plateau
which the owner calls an air
drainage which is said to De the
most perfect in the world. The
crop this year Is perfect and the
owner expects 10 ship 500 car
loads and to put up iu cans 100
car loads. He has a canning
plant which has q capacity OF
100000 cans daily.
The company has their own
electric light plant, and one third
OF the canning IS done at night;
1900 people are employed during
the three weeks of harvesting.
The cost of harvesting is between
$40 or $50 per acre.
The annual expense is 800 per
acre cultivating and 1900 per
acre for spraying the trees, which
must be done four times during
the year. This land is vsorth
500 per acre, and the orchard
has already paid a dividend Of
$500 per acre. The trees look IS
If they would bear fruit Tor ten or
fifteen years hence. There are
$4,000 trees in this orchard, f06
trees TO the acre. Harvesting
will begin about July 10Th.
In 1911 when the peach crop
was cut short all over the country
there were shipped from this orch
ard 219 cars for which was re-
ceived $4,000. Buyers came
to this place and bid for the fruit

 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,b back aches, dread of impending evil, tinidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu- larities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by intelligent wo- men who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weak ened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.

 And now pIaintive little whine sounded from below Penrod's feet. and looking down. he saw that Duke. hi wistful. old, scraggly dog, sat in the grass, gazing seekingly up at him.
 The last shaft Of sunshine of that day fell graciously and like blessing upon the boy sitting on the fence. Years afterward quiet sunset would recall to him sometimes the gentle evening of his twelfth birthday and bring him the picture of his boy self sitting in rosy life upon the fence, gag ing penstvely down upon his wistful. scraggly. little old dog Duke. But something else, surpassing, he would remember of that hour, for in the side street close by a pink skirt hickered from behind a shade tree to the shelter of the fence There was gleam Of amber curls, and Penrod started as something like tiny white wing dut- tered by his head, and there came to his ears the sound of light laugh and of light footsteps departing, the laugh ter tremulous. the footsteps fleet.

 Penrod was out in the yard staring at the empty marquee. The sun was on the horizon line, so far behind the back fence, and a western window of the house bIazed in gold unbearable to the eye. 1iS 0ay was nedFty over. He sighed and took from the inside pocket of his new jacket the sling shot Aunt Sarah Grim had given him that morning.
 He snapped the rubbers absently. They held fast. and his next impulse was entirely irresistible, He found a shapely stone, fitted it to the leather and drew back the ancient catapult for a shot A sparrow hopped upon branch between him and the house. and he aimed at the sparrow, but the reelection from the dazzling window struck in his eyes as he loosed the leather.
