]. HALL, SALEM sun
OWNER, CHARACTER
Editor, a Republican, Practices Seven
Trades When Newspaper Bust
ness Is Dull.

Mountain Home, Dec. 30.-The
greatest extremes in the country
newspaper business in Arkansas meet
in Jonathan Hall and his Salem Sun,
in Fulton county John is the leader
of the minority party in his section,
the biggest man in the country news
paper business in the state and the
biggest man in Salem. He weighs 225
pounds and falls shortly only an inch
or two of six feet six. In actual
equipment his plant is probably the
smallest in the state. If he ever has
to move he will not have to call in
the assistance of drayman; he can
distribute the plant around in the
capacious pockets of his breeches and
walk off with it.
In significance, however, the Sun
is larger than that which produces it
mechanically, for it is the mouthpiece
of John, who is the sarcastic political
editorial humorist of the Arkansas
press. Besides being the editor or
the Sun, he is also his own compost
tor, pressman and devil, and besides
his ability as humorist and editor
and a general mehacnical genius
around his own office, he has more
diverse occupations to fall back on in
times of adversely than any other
country newspaper man in the state.
1t matters not to John if the pump
kin crop is short, for he is Chin
ney builder, decorator, paperhanger,
sign writer, mechanic, farmer, phil
osopher and politician. He can make
any one of the eight return finan-
cial revenue but politics. He is al
standpat republican, and under the
present administration practices his
profession solely for glory.
In his Salem Sun, five-column,
four page patent inside, he has a re-
publican weekly with strong spas

bad, but never fails to resume. Dur
ing the times of suspension, John is
at work picking simoleons at seven
of his other trades.
He is also the perpetual republican
candidate for Fulton county and his
congressional district, and has sac
rificed himself on the party altar
more times than most of the other
official goats for republicanism in
Arkansas. and with the usual result.
Fulton county democrats say his po-
litiacl gall is as large as an Arkansas
cantaloupe and contains 26 five-car-
at, clearwater stones, and that some
day if he ever breaks away from the
confines of the Ozark mountains and
gets into national republican con-
yention he will be candidate FOR the
nomination for the presidency.
Besides being the proprietor edl-
tor and mechanical genius OF the
Sun--and eight other trades-he also
has glories in the ownership of the
deserted postoffice of Salem. For l6
wears he was postmaster there, and
he tenaciously holds on to the past.
John is a standpatter. A standpat-
ter from environment and from who
laid the chunk.
He wears number IL shoes stud
ded on the soles with Hungarian
nails and once he puts his feet down
they are there to stay. When Roose-
welt raised the little birchbark caller
and beloved forth the moose call, al
the last national convention, and
stampeded the herd, John never NOV
ed a peg. He took an extra hitch in
his galluses, pulled his shoe strings
a bit tighter, chained his postoffice
fixtures to the stone wall of his build
ing, locked his commission up in the
safe, took his stub pencil in hand
and dehorned those who had started
to sprout antlers in Fulton county
He saved the country from an igno-
minious political disgrace, from his
point of view.
Every newspaper man in the state
knows John Hall from a professional
viewpoint His humor has floated in
to every editorial office in the state
from that of the Ozark Clarion, which
is published Is miles north of this
place, in Emerson's cabin on his
homestead in the shadow of the
Three Brother mountains, to the city
papers, that sport three, four and
five deck presses, batteries of limo
type machines and editors who do
not set type, do job work and other
sundry jobs that rightfully belong to
the compositors and the devil. John s
humor is confined to very short ex-
pressions. Yet one cannot judge his
physique from the length of his lines.
He is built like the laughs his humor
produces. When subscription collec-
tons are good and he is on full feed
he tips the scales around 225. He
is not fat, but big.
Jonathan Hall has been in the
business in Salem for II
years. The most wonderful thing
about him is that with his diverse oc-
equations and his journalistic en-
deavors he has grown rich. Rich in
love, for he is so odd years of age,
and has accumulated family. Rich
in satisfaction, for he has a vehicle
which to express his opin-
ions. Rich in pleasure, for he has a
farm to ride as a hobby.

FARMERSMSTITUTES POPULAR
Number and Attendance Show An
nual Increase. Saws Report.

That the farmers and agriculturists
of the United States-all parts of the
country-are fully alive to the benefits
to be derived from attendance at farm
ers institutes is shown by the fact
that the number of these institutes
held in the year ending June 80, 1914,
was 25.23S. A total attendance Of g.
656,3S1 was registered at these insti-
tutes the attendance being more than
Is per cent in excess of that during any
previous year.
This information is contained in a re-
cent report of the Department OF Agri-
culture, which also shows that the ex-
pense of holding these institutes to-
tailed $447.S97.61. which was nearly
s63, 900 less than for the preceding year
of 1913, when the number of Institutes
was much smaller and the attendance
not SO large.
The farmers institute organization
conducts it's work under many different
forms. so that 1t IL almost impossible to
summarize its activities briefly. For ex-
ample, in addition to the ordinary meet
ings, there were movable schools in
thirteen states which had a registered
attendance of 112,49S people. Field
demonstration meetings were also held
in fifteen states, although no record OF
the attendance was kept. Special rail-
road trains were organized in seventeen
other states for the purpose of giving
lectures and demonstrations.

probably of high rank. He got into
England on a passport signed by Sec
rotary Bryan, representing him as an
American citizen. He was a part of the
great German spy system, the most
perfect OF its kind on the earth today.
The German system puts its man in a
foreign country. establishes him there
for ten or fifteen years. and Identifies
him SO completely with the people of
his adopted country that he is the last
to be suspected by his own neighbours
and intimates. Yet he keeps constantly
in close touch with the central Office.

work. 1t is remarkable, in one way.

ignominious death. He serves his
country more ably. at times, than the
soldier in the trenches: but the cap
tured soldier is treated humanely. while
the proven spy is executed out of hand
To one ignorant of German standards

hung himself to escape a death on the
scaffold. But to his ideas his suicide

STONE VS.. ROLLER GRINDING.
OId-Fashioned Corn Meal Tastes Bet
ter, But Doesn't Keep as Well.

In the course Of its multifarious in
vestigations the Department Of Agri-
culture has been conducting expert
ments which show that, while the old
fashioned stone-ground corn meal has
a richer flavor and tastes better than
the roller-ground meal. 1t doesn't keep
as well; in fact, that 1t spoils very
much more quickly than does the meal
that is ground between steel rollers In
modern mills.
The palatable, characteristic taste Of
the stone-ground meal is largely due
to the Oil contained in the germ Of the
corn. As the whole kernel Of corn is
ground in the stone or burr mill. this
oil is pressed out in the process and
imrarts its flavor to the meal In the
roller mill process the germ Is taken
from the corn before rolling by a ma
chine called a degerminator. and but
little of the oil gets into the meal. The
germ, il allowed to remain in the meal.
causes it to spoil quickly. So the very
thing that imparts the desirable flavor
to the meal will also inture its keeping
qualities.
In some cases in stone-ground meal
the germ is removed by boiling after
grinding. This improves the keeping
quality over that of unbolted meal, but
does not make it equal in keeping
tracing the germ before milling.
The term underground" meal ap-
plies to the product ground by stones.
without regard to whether the motive
power is water. steam or electricity. At
one time nearly all stone-grinding
mills were operated by water power.
while roller mills were usually operat-
ed by steam. and SO the term water
ground" was used to mean the same
as "stone-ground." In later years, how
ever. steam and electricity have al
most entirely displaced water as
motive power in mills. 1t is the milling
machinery. and not the source Of pow.
er, that determines the character OF
the meal that may be produced.
The keeping quality of corn meal is
also greatly affected by heat and mois-
ture. Other things being equal. the
drier the meal the longer 1t will keep:
It is the custom In larger mills and
in some smaller ones to dry the meal
artificially after milling. In wet sections
of the country, or in wet weather any
where. dried meal will very quickly
absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
Any kind Of corn meal will keep much
longer in cold weather than in warm
weather. 1t should. therefore, be
stored in a dry, cool place.

PRECEDENT.
Copyright. 1915. BY DR.. Frank crane.)

Precedent Is solidined experience.
In the realm of ideas 1t Is canned
goods.
It is very useful when fresh ideas are
not to be had.
There are advantages in doing things
Just because they always have been
done. You know what will happen
When you do new things you do not
know what will happen.
Success implies not only sound rea-
soning, but also the variable factor of
how a thing will work, which is found
out only by trying 1t.
Hence, the surest road to success is
to use mixture of precedent and
initiative. Just how much of each you
will require is matter for your judg-
ment. and for judgment there is no
substitute.
To go entirely by precedent you be-
come a mossback. You are safe, as a
setting hen or a hiving bee is safe
Each succeeding generation acts the
Same way. There is a level Of ef-
flciency. but no progress.
Boards. trustees and institutions lay
great stress upon precedent, as they
fear responsibility To do as our prede-
/
bit from our shoulders.
The precedent Is the haven Of refuge
for them that fear to decide.
Courts Of law follow precedent, on
more just than Individual decision.
Precedent, however, tends to carry
forward the Ignorance and injustice Of
the past.
ting new views of truth, seeing new
values in social justice. Precedent
clogs this advance. It fixes and per-
petuates the wrongs of man as much
as the rights of man.
Hence, while the many must trust to
precedent. a few must always en-
deavor to break 1t, to make way for
juster conclusions.
Precedent is the root. Independent
thinking Is the branch, of the human
tree. Our decisions must conform to
| the sum of human experience, yet there
must be also the fresh green leaf of
present intelligence.
We cannot cut the root Of the tree
and expect 1t to live, neither can we
lop off all the LEAKAGE Of the tree and
expect 1t to live.
The great jurist, such as Marshall, is
one who not only knows what the law
is, but what the law ought to be. That
is, to his knowledge of precedent he
adds his vision Of right under present
conditions.
Precedent is often the inertia Of
HHOHSlIOUS CtAi PASSSoShS diCo
turks in social conditions, in business
and in all relations of human rights
The past constantly operates to en-
slave the present.
We must correct the errors of our
fathers If we would enable our chill
dren to correct ours.
Our reverence for the past must be
continually qualified by our reverence
for the future.
We are on our way to the golden
age. The momentum Of what has been
must be supplemented by the steam Of
original conviction. and guided by the
Intelligence and courage Of the present.

factories are going on full time. rail,
