things had changed. At midnight
Moses sat up on his cot to decide
two questions. Was his erik really
better? Was this his mother-in-law's
fifteenth cure? Should he 60 to work
After an hour he decided both cases
In the Affirmative, and In the morning
he was ready to say:

you have? l am sorry for that.
I warned you not to strain your mind.
You must be very, very quiet"

Il was on the morning of the tenth
day. and after two ministers and a
score of lawmen had pleaded for
Moses, that the door was unlocked
and an ak put into his hands. He
walked straight to the woodpile and
made the chips fly. When he had
worked for two hours he put on his
coat and started to look for a job,

at work on new barn. There was

DATE FROM FIFTH CENTURY
invention Of Largo Church Bells
Aserlbed to Pauiinus, Bishop
Of Nola.

In the twenty-eighth chapter Of Elk.
odus, verses "a and IS, occurs the
first mention Of bells. and their use
Is practically the same as that to
which modern church bells are put.
namely, to give notice Of the time for
public worship.
The uses Of bells as summons to
prayer are not derived directly from
this source as they have been used
in Rll ages for secular as we'll a. re.
ligious purposes.
In the Grecian army the ohicer Of
the guard visited the sentries at
night with q bell as signal Of
watchfulness. and the Romans used
small ones in their baths and places
of business.
The honor of inventing the large
church bells, however, Is ascribed to
Paulinus, Bishop Of Nola, city Of
Campania, who fourished in the fifth
century Of the Christian era. Not
long after they were introduced into
Britain.
st. Dunstan presented several to

made six bells, which were named
after distinguished personages, and,
says the historian, such q concert
was never heard in tho land before.
The custom Of ringing upon occa-
sions Of public rejoicings is derived
from an early usage Of the Catholics.
who in this manner gave notice Of
the arrival Of church dignitary
within their jurisdiction. and 1t was
regarded as q high offense II the

SAYS DARDANELLES
 CANNOT BE FORCED
WEBER PASHA DECLARES FAIL URE: OF ALLIES IS OBVIOUS TURKS IN GOOD CONDITION.

Krithia-Allied troops, who landed at Seddul Bahr, on the Gallipoli Penin- sula, hold about 10 square miles of the extreme southern part of the pe- ninsula. The occupancy is coupled with the greatest difficulties.
 The ground held by the allies con sists principally of small plateau north of Seddul Bahr and two ad- joining ridges to the northwest, be tween which the Turks are pushing advance trenches.
 The Associated Press correspond ents, who spent two days in the trenches, found the Turkish troops in excellent condition and spirits. in spite of the fact that the allies are using every conceivable means to carry on the operations, including bombs thrown from catapults and from aeroplanes.
 During the day time both sides are usually inactive, the Turks preferring night bayonet attacks. Many Turk ish batteries are in position, but the
 
 makes their work very difficult and for the most part they are directing their attention to the reserves of ths allies and to changing shifts which are exposed at certain points. The Turks in this have the support of their heavy batteries on the Asiatic side, which since the rentirement of the allied fleet work without fear of being molested, bombarding chiefly the allied right wing. composed of French, home and colonial troops
 The number of wounded at the hos pital bases at the front was small, al- though the fighting during the night had been fairly severe.
 Weber Pasha, the German general commanding the south group, gave the correspondent every opportunity to visit the Saddul Bahr district, placing no restrictions whatever upon the cor respondents movements.
 Weber Pasha, who is a member of the German military mission which undertook the improvement of the Ot- toman army organization is fully con- fident that the Turks will be able to meet the Gallipoli situation and that the allies will never stvance against the Dardanelles forts.

Arguments on and submission of the Sawyer Racing bill, the pivot of i'm portant legislation in the 1915 legis- lature, and the bill upon which the governors action caused a long and bitter controversy, were made in the Supreme Court, when the suit of the Arkansas State Fair Association against Earle w. Hodges, secretary of state, was taken up. There will be a Supreme Court decision on the suit before court adjourns for summer va cation. James P. Clarke, United States senator, argued the bill for the fair association. T. M. Mehaffy ap- peared for the State
 The arguments were the same yir- tually as made when the case was tried before Judge Guy Fulk in the Pulaski Circuit Court.
 Suit to compel the secretary of state to include the act with others passed by the legislature and ap- proved by the governor when the acts were advertised, was the action as in stigated in the lower court. The fair association lost in the lower court and, few weeks ago, the case was appealed.

 Seeing that the school farm was not adapted to the growing of corn and cotton, a new system of farming was begun on the Second District Agric,il- tural School farm last fall. Over 50 acres of land were planted to small grains, winter oats, spring oats, vetch, wheat, barley and rye. These crops have just been harvested and each shows an excellent yield. The g acres planted to spring oats did not make as satisfactory yields as did the winter crops.
 The land from which these crops were harvested is being planted to cowpeas. soy beans, sweet sorghum and kaffir corn. About 25 or 30 acres will be planted to kaffir and sor- ghum for silage, 75 acres in hay crops eliminated. Every effort is being made to produce enough feed to run the stock next year. The work is being done by boys who intend to enter school next fall.
 One of the largest Elberta peach crops ever produced on the schol or chard is promised. The trees have been sprayed and there is every indi- cation that the fruit will be of high quality. This orchard was cut back three years ago and is known as the "dehorned orchard" The peaches will be preserved and canned for use next term
 Several acres have been planted to potatoes and tomatoes. The tomatoes will be canned and the school hopes to put up several thousand cans. Po- tatoes last year proved one of the most profitable crops grown on the farm. Several hundred thousand DO. tato slips have been sold and shipped to all parts of the state.
 The gardener is preparing and planting the fall garden. 1t Is the in tention to have fall products from the garden to use in the dining hall dur ing the winter.

 Few appointments in recent years have given such widespread satisfac- tion in the national capital Mir.

Members of the cabinet and close personal friends of the president advised the selection. and Mir Bryan himself, although not consulted, is understood to have hoped for the promotion of Mir Lansing.
 Official announcement Of the selec- tion of Mir. Lansing, who has been serving as secretary ad interim since the resignation of MT Bryan on June s, was made in the following state ment:
 Before leaving for brief rest in New Hampshire the president an nounced that he had offered the post of secretary of state to Mir Robert Lansing, the present counsellor of th Q Department of State, and that MT. Lansing had accepted the appoint ment"
 A commission was prepared which President Wilson signed, giving Mr. Lansing a recess appoistment When Congress reconvenes the nomination will go to the Senate No opposition is anticipated.

The decision handed down by Cir cult Judge Hendrix in the case insti- tuted by State Agricultural Commits sioner John H Pape to test Governor Hays veto of the appropriation bills passed by the last Legislature is caus- ing much concern among the credi- tors of the state. If the decision Is sustained by the supreme court it means that an additional S600,000 in state interest will be on the market before the converting of the next Leg islature with a depleted treasury to circuit court that the veto is void oe- cause the governor failed to issue a proclamation vetoing the appropria- tion items. This is made mandatory by the constitution and the supreme court several years ago so held. The last Legislature appropriated SS,600- 900 with only S3,000,000 estimated revenue for the biennial period.
 If the governors veto of S600,000 is permitted to stand the state will be
