DO DREAMS COME TRUE

The editor of this paper had a wonderful dream the other night, and now he is wondering if it will come true. He hopes it will.
 In his dream he was reading over his correspondence of the day, and uppermost on the pile of letters was one reading like this:
 Dear MT. Editor:-I can not let this Christmas go by with out sending you that dollar 1 owe you on subscription to your paper. Not only that, but I am enclosing another dollar for a year in advance. I am making several little presents to friends this Christmas, but none of them gives me as much genuine pleasure as does the sending of this subscription money to you. I hope every other person who owes you a penny will do the same and if they do we will all be joining in the making of this a Merry Christmas for you and yours. "
 Thinking that his family would be assured of at least a chicken for their Christmas dinner, the editor thankfully pocketed the two dollar bill and went on with his weary work.
 But his spirits sdbn rose, for there were many other such letters, and many bills, and ex.

GET READY LIVE AT ROME

Right now is the time to plan for living at home in 1916; right now we must do those things that it will be too late to do after the coming of the new year. Wise is the man who determines now to
 1. Save every possible bit of feed for this winter and next spring. Feeds are likely to be highpriced again, and barns fill ed with hay and roughage of all kinds should be the rule with every farmer worthy of the name.
 2. Plant big oat crop and plant it now. Remember that on an average fall-sown oats yield double oats soWn in the spring, and remember, too, that a good crop of oats next spring when the corn is getting low will come in mighty handy.
 3. Plan to break off relation with the grocery store. This can largely be done by laying in a big winter supply of peas, beans, molasses, potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables. and refusing outright to buy any thing you can grow on your own farm.
 4. Keep the fall and winter garden going. If you have not already planted a big patch of turnips by all means do so at once. These, wi tn collards, kale, mustard, spinach and an abundance of stored and canned fruits and vegetables, will help you to Tive like king" this winter without depending on the store-bought supplies.
 5. Save feed and fertilizer bills by planting cover and graz ing crops. A fine place to econ omize is on the fertilizer bill, and the best way we know of te do this is to plant clover, vetch and rye to prevent washing and to turn under next spring. These

pressions of Christmas cheer from his subscribers.
 And then the office door open- ed and Farmer Jones came in with bright smile on his face and new dollar bill in his hand, and it, too, found it's way into the editors pocket.
 The idea of a chicken was dis carded and visions of a real tur- key loomed large in the editorial mind.
 And still the letters came, and the good people streamed into the office, and each one meant more subscription money to the editor and Christmas cheer for his family.
 It was a long and pleasant dream, and lasted clear up to the day before Christmas, and when the last caller left the books showed that every sub- scriber had paid what he owed and many of them had paid for a year or two in advance, and each one had given some word of appreciation and cheer to the editor and his family.
 It was only a dream, after all; but now the editor is wondering if pleasant dreams ever do com ( true!

It is hoped that thousands of Arkansas farmers have already gathered their seed corn for next spring and have it hanging in in the sheds. Doubtless there are thousands of others 1e, who have not done this. The College of Agriculture at Fay etteville is urging every farmer in the state to select good seed corn in the fall and hang lt up and thus be sure to have plenty of seed next spring.

THINK BEFORE YOU PLANT

The editor of this paper does not profess to be an authority on farming, but to our mind it would seem that the following of a few simple rules would result in more satisfactory results from the standpoint of the tiller of the soil.
 1. Produce enough of each ar ticle needed to subsist the family eM sIl year to year and feed the oi k without having to go into the market and buy those articles at high prices. Let this be care fully figured out before planting time and see that provision is made for quite enough of each article of diet.
 2. Keep enough hogs, cattle and poultry to supply all of the meat and eggs required during the year without having to buy at the end of the season.
 3. Instead of planting the surplus acreage to the time hon. ored crops that yield small re- turns, study the market reports carefully and select crops that will produce we'll on the particu- lar land in question and yet bring a high price in the city markets. Then put every available acre and all possible energy into pro- ducing a large yield from those crops and sell in the city mar. kets when prices are at high tide.
 4. To avoid wearing out the land rotate the crops, always Sc. lecting those articles that bring highest prices and yield the larg est crops to the acreage, thus producing the greatest financia returns.
 5. Study the different crops each season and devise ways anc means of increasing the yiel( while at the same time reducing the cost of production. This i: not difficult proposition if !; person goes at it scientifically an( with a determination to succeed 6. When reports indicate tha } the country is going in heavil, for one certain crop, let that cro] alone and raise something els equally as productive of financia returns. The farmer who is lon, on a short crop has a small gol' mine.
 7. Don't be afraid to try some
 thing new. Others all over thi l country are becoming rich b. l getting in on the ground floor o a new and good thing.

by those who enrolled in the work; then the excessive rains during the growing and cultivat- ing season made it almost i'm possible for those enrolled in the work to follow instructions.
 The fact that farming is not and can never be an exact science, that men farmed all their lives along certain lines can not easily change their methods, that some are prejudic- ed against what they term Book Farming, , have combined to make progress somewhat slow.
 My not being acquainted with the people or geography of the country l also found to be great handicap in my work.
 Interest, however, has grown in our work from the very begin ming, and at the present time is growing rapidly. l have visited the majority of the rural schools in the county; shall visit the re- mainder before my year has eX- pired. Interest among the boys thegirls in the club work is devel- oping rapidly. Farmers are also more interested in better live stock, the eradication and con- trol of hog cholera and other in- fectious diseases of live stock.
 The College of Agriculture and other agents of the Department of Agriculture have co-operated freely in our work and have rem dered efficient assistance.
 The business men of the county and the banks have shown great interest in the work and have rendered material aid in furthering it. The news 1 papers ofsthe county have also freely given us space in their columns and helped us in every possible way. The county ex- aminers and teachers of the county have also co-operated and rendered us their efficient aid, and are at this time cooperating in the club work and helping us organize for rext year.
 The County Judge has also at any and all times rendered every aid in his power to have 1t well in hand for whoever ls| agent succeeding me. If you see fit to make an appropriation, I hope you will do so understand
 
 ing that I am not a candidate for re-appointment. If l accept ed the work for another year it would have to come to me like it did this time, without ap- plication on my part.

Schoolgirls in Kearny
Make Clothing to Be Worn
by Them at Graduation

Girls who are to graduate this year
from the grammar grade of the
Kearny public schools will wear
dresses made by themselves at the
commencement exercises and If Su-
perintendent Herman Dressed, jr., has
anything to say about it the gradu-
ates of the High School, both boys
and girls, will wear their everyday
clothes at the exercises.
Mr.. Dressed, at a meeting last night
of the Kearny Board of Education,
even went so far as to suggest to the
board the idea of making the change
and the suggestion was thought well
of by board members. The expense
of purchasing clothing to wear at
the graduation exercises is something
that should be done away with,
argued Mr.. Dressed.
The superintendent referred to the
depression and explained
that considerable money could be
saved by having boys and girls at
tend the exercises in their everyday
clothing. The girls who are making
dresses for commencement exercises
are doing the work under the direo-
ton of Miss Mabel Kysar, teacher of
domestic science and art.
A delegation of women, members Of
the Mothers Club Of Kearny Public
School No attended the meeting Of
the education board and presented a
petition seeking action on the part of
the board along the lines of relieving
congestion in the school, The board
was also asked to have the stairways
flre-proofed. The matter will be
taken up with the Board of School

the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States will probably be held
here. This draws competitors from

Newark many thousands of visitors.
The results of the meet will appear in
every daily paper and in almost every
weekly and monthly publication in
this country. The national champion
ships of 1916 are to be of unusual in
terest, since the war in Europe has
made it necessary to cancel the Olym-

to Berlin.
The committee believes it will be
possible to revive the glories of old
Passaic rowing days, for the Middle
States regatta will probably be rowed
on that river.
The national amateur boxing cham

Union.
The program provides also for har-
ness racing of the highest class. bas-

JUDICIAL VIEW
OF THE J|TNEYS
Denial of Injunction by Virginia
Judge Excites Com

NEW YORK, April 22.-Discussing
the decision by Judge Crump, OF
Richmond, Va, denying to the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company
an injunction against the jitneys and
ruling that the courts had no right to
interfere with the operation of jitney
buses, +. w. Doollttle, director of the
bureau Of fare research of the Ameri-
can Electric Railway Association, said
today:
"The question before the court was
apparently based on Section ia Of the
State Constitution of Virginia, which
provides that a business which makes
a permanent use of streets is required
to obtain a franchise from the city in
which 1t is operating.
I'm refusing to grant the in
Junction, 1t appears that the question
at issue was whether or not, pending
q settlement of the question by the
usual processes of law, the Virginia
Railway and Power Company would
suffer damages which could not, by
virtue of the irresponsibility Of the
offender, be collected.
"If the owners of the jitney buses
do not appear to be financially able
to satisfy judgments for damages,
should such lie against them, it would
seem that the railway company might
suffer irreparable damage, and that
it is therefore justified in seeking
to have the jitney owners enjoined.
'Also, If the operation of the jit-
neys Is shown to be a menace to the
safety, health, or morals Of the COM
munity, the court may and should
enjoin their operation except in such
a manner as will remove the menace
When the case came up for trial be-
fore Judge Crump, Henry w. Ander-
son, general counsel for the railway
company, said that the loss to the
road amounted to 5000 a day, or $780,
600 year. Gross earnings of the
company for March, 1915, were $685.

For the nine months ended March
