Many Are Studying the Bible

The Bible study class that meets
promptly at Z clock every Monday
evening in the High School, is inter-
esting large number of people.
Twenty-Five books, 1.-THE Worker and
His Bible, were quickly taken, and
more will be ordered. The meetings
begin promptly at and close at 8,
giving people time for other engage
ments. A most interesting line of
thought developed at the Monday
night session, which was largely at
tended. Prof. Jolliffe is teaching the
class.

Fox-HUNTERs IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport in Britain Are Now at
 the Front.

Waterloo, according to the duke of Wellington, was won on the playing fields of Eton. Should Britain emerge triumphant from the present conflict we may find someone rising to claim that the campaign in Flanders was won in the English shires. The shires are the headquarters of fox-hunting, which most humanitarians denounce. George Bernard Shaw, for example, has no words strong enough to con- demn 1t with MT. Jorrocks, the hero of a sporting novel, describing fox hunting as war without its guilt and only 25 per cent of it's danger It has to be admitted, however, that they who follow the hounds have answered magnificently to their country's call.
 There are, it proves, 150 masters of hounds with the British colors, 5000 members of hunts and 1,500 hunt serv- | ants. To them must be added the of ficers of the regular army who are ac- customed to ride to hounds, likewise numbering some thousands. The total is an impressive one. It suggests that | the real attraction of this sport may be that it is, as Jorrocks said "a sort of war"

Ancient Artisans In Africa.

The question has often been asked: Was there any earlier race in occupa- tion of the area in Africa at present held by the Bantus? In Man w. H. Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun- try some ancient pottery has been said to be the work of people called Gum ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana, cannibal dwarfs.
 These Miathoachiana are now be- lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in the art of iron working. MT. Beech, with some amount of plausibility, sug- gests that they were possibly bush- men, pygmies, or both, and that they were local indigenous race of the stone age who used flint instruments often found in the Kikuyu country. The Gumba are said to have made pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu the art of smelling. They may have been preBantau Hamite invaders: but of this there is no evidence and the legend may tend to show that the first discovery of iron was made in Africa

SAYS DARDANElLES
 CANNOT BE FGRCED
WEBER PASHA DECLARES FAIL URE OF ALLIES IS OBVIOUS
 TURKS IN GOOD CONDITION.
OCCUPANCY IS DIFFICULT
Little Activity Shown by Each Side During Daytime-Turks Prefer
 Night Bayonet Attacks.

Krithia,-Allied troops, who landed at Seddul Bahr, on the Galipoli Penin- sula, hold about 10 square miles of the extreme southern part of the pc ninsula. The occupancy is coupled with the greatest difficulties.
 The ground held by the allies con- sists principally of a 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.
 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.
 During the day time both sides are usually inactive, the Turks preferrhg night bayonet attacks. Many Turk ish batteries are in position, but the nearness of the opposing trenches 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 Asiatlc 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
 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.
 The result was a thorough inspee- tion of the ground. Weber Pasha made no comment on the situation himself beyond saying that "the fall ure of the allies to consummate their plan of forcing the Dardanelles is too obvious for discussion
 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 advance against the DardaneIles forts.

MOST ABLE MEN NOT LARGE
Worlds Genuses as a Rule Have Been Only Medium or Even Less
 in Size.

We are inclined to look up to the physically big man, not only literally but there is always a certain presump- tion in his favor that he must be cor respondingly strong mentally, says a writer in Popular Mechanics. People make room for him; they attach more importance usually to what he says than to the same words uttered by an undersized man. We unconsciously picture in our minds the bayonet charge and storming of the trenches as the work of large men. The boy dreams of having a football physique and little sister worships her big brother.
 Other abilities being equal the large man has positive advantage over the small man. And yet many, if not the majority of the great men of the world have been only of medium build and not few were even undersized
 A certain large city in this country had for years made it rule not to employ in it's fire department any but large men. The result was a small army of athletes which never failed to cause a positive thrill when ever they went on parade. They dis tinctly represented the day of physi- cal might.
 For some years past the inventive mind has been busy, and very suc- cessfully, to produce apparatus which lot t0 fer to a great extent the hard work from muscle to machine. The evi- dences of this evolution may be seen In even small towns everywhere, and now the fire engine drawn by volun- teers and worked with hand brakes strange mechanics of the past. In it's place is the self-propelled gas-engined machine, carrying it's own hose and capable of highly effective work with only two men, and ladder trucks by means of which one small man ma nipulating some short levers can in a few seconds raise great ladders to dizzy heights, or pour deluge of water into tenth-story windows while standing in the street below. Hence 1t has come about that the man small of stature, but nimble of body and alert of mind is not only the peer, but often the superior of the giant in build. There yet remains some work for the big athletes, but it is growing less each year, and the man whom nature has not endowed with great physical strength Is coming into his own.

Zinc ore was sold at Buffalo for S135 ton, the record price. These phenomenal prices have been the cause of great development in the rich Buffalo and Rush mining districts of North Arkansas. Many mines are being opened up every day and large shipments are being made through Buffalo and other stations along White River Railroad to the smelters in St. Louis, Kansas and other places. It is believed that the high prices will prevail for a long time, as the supply of spelter is 314,00) tons short, which will have to be made up largely by the zinc mines of the United States.
 It can hardly be realized the won derful development and activity which has taken place in the Buffalo and Rush mining districts within the last 90 days. One hundred thousand dol lars was received from the sale cf ores last month and this amount prob ably will be doubled this month.

 For the Lack of Funds.
Little Rock.

 A millage tax amendment to the constitution designating definite sum for university, normal and agricu!- tural school support would place them upon higher plane, according to B. H. Greenhouse of Washington County, senator from the Fifth dis trict
 According to Senator Greenhouse, the university is constantly losing it's most competent instructors because of the insufficiency and instability Of their support.
 If stipulated fund were maintain ed for the support of the schools of higher education, the unseemly wran- gles which heretofore have engaged the attention and occupied the time of legislators would be obviated ac- cording to the senator, and this time could be employed profitably to the interest of the state.

That the Arkansas acreage of rice this year will be about 100000 acres and the yield about 45.6 bushels per acre, is the estimate of W. c. Sand CTS of the Southern Rice Growers As sociation. Writing to John H. Page, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, from Stuttgart MT. Sanders says in part:
 Replying to your recent favor we are glad to give you the information requested to the best of our ability; however, would ask you to compare our statements with others you may receive.
 We are placing the Arkansas acre age of rice at 100000.
 Estimated yield for Arkansas, based on last years crop for rice, 45 6 bushels per acre This is over what Arkansas will average year in and year out by fully five bushels per acre-last year was exceptional.
 The average cost of production of rice in Arkansas is S25 per acre, from blowing the ground to delivery at mills. They get from $40 to S60 per acre. Like in all other business some rice farmers are becoming in mensely rich and some are going broke each year; it depends upon the man behind the gun as to profits. Leakage is pretty heavy where pros perity is not fully understood and ap- preciated."
