Why He's Called Tommy Atkins 7

The sobriquet Tommy Atkins as applied to the British soldier dates from the time when it was the custom to supply every man in the army with a small pocket man. ual in which was intered a record of name, age, date of enlistment length of service, wounds and med als of honor of the individual soldier.
 In sending out these forms for information the war office used a hypothetical name. Tommy At kins," instead of the real one to be written in later, In this way the name came to be applied to desig- nate any British soldier,
 In the same way the British sailor got his name, Jack Tar.'

How to Make Money at Home.

Start saloon in your own home. Be the only customer {you'll have no license to pay.) Go to your wife and give her two dollars to buy a gallon of whiskey, and re- member there are sixty-nine drinks in gallon. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, by the time the first gallon is gone she will have eight dollars to put in the bank and two dollars to start business again. If you should live ten years and continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your boots, she will have money enough to bury you decently, edu- cate your children, buy a house and lot, marry decent man and quit thinking about you entirely.

ANNUAL MEETING IF AMERICAN
 PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders un-
 selfish Service to Agriculture.
By Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will hold its annual convention in Lincoln Nebraska. on September seventh. and will round out the eleventh year of It's activities in the interest of the American plowman. When that con- vention Is called to order every farm CT in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gath cred there to render a patriotic and unselfishs service to agriculture. That organization, born in the cotton fields Of Texas, has grown until geograph- ically 1t covers almost the whole of the United States and economically 1t deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who bare their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, divefsificatien, scientific pro- duction, agricultural legislation and has carried on its work of education and cooperation In season and out
 The Farmers Educational and CO operative Union of America brings the question of organization squarely before every farmer in this nation. Without organization the farmers can neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through organization and systematic effort all things are possible.
 The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from government than any other class of business. They have better securities and pay higher rate of interest than any other line of industry They market more products and have less to say in. fixing the price than any other business and they get mors poliyicaT b6ncombe and less coHstrue tive legislation than any other class of people. The farmers can only ac Quire such influence in business, in government and in economies as will enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organiza- tion and every farmer on American soil who desires to help himself and his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union.

POLITICAL G0SSIPS

When one class of people has any. thing to say, 1t has become largely the custom to- make a political issue out of 1t instead of a friendly discus sion, to print it in a law book instead of newspaper and to argue 1t be- tore jury instead of to settle 1t in the higher courts of Common Sense As result, political agitators, polit- icai lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, in tolerance and mysteries run rampant in public affairs, for when the low damp. murky atmosphere of misun derstanding envelops public thought 1t breeds political reptiles, vermin bugs and lice which the pure air oi truth and the sunshine of understand ing will choke to death.
 We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are In capable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No busi- ness can stand upon error and might rules-right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a Kings sword
 When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak, for dema- gogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen skken upon strife.
 The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman-thep political gossip-and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talk ing 1t over with the people. Inter change of information between indus tries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public under stands. Away with political interpret CTS who summon evil spirits from their prison cells aRd loose them to prey upon the welfare of the people in the name of My Country"

Plan for Next Years Crops.

It is now high time to be laying the plans for next years crops. Determine now what shall be put upon this field and that, where the wheat shall be soWn, where the oats shall be sown, where the next years corn crop will be grown, and what land shall be put in cotton. Now is the time to plan because the wheat land should be broken as early as possible, likewise the land where the winter oats are to grow should be broken early in order to have it ready for seeding on time. It is now time to SOW cover crop of rye or burr clover in the cotton or corn middles where either corn or cotton will be planted next year. If we are able to get our crops in on time next spring we must have system. There can be no system of farming unlass we plan our crops ahead of time. Let's begin to plan now for next year and see if we can't have better systema- tized farm in the future. Plan with a view Of making the soil bet ter and the farm more profitable. If in doubt as to the best plans, why not write to the Extension Division University of Arkansas, Fayette- vile, for their opinion?

Winter Oats.

Most every farmer needs from three to five acres of oats for ev- cry horse on the farm. In plan hing the oat crop don't forget that the winter varieties outyield the spring varieties. Therefore, make preparation to seed as many oats this fall as possible. For Central and North Arkansas use the Win ter Turf variety and seed with drill between the first and fifteenth of October. In South Arkansas, eith- CT the Winter Turf or the Red Rust Proof oats may be used, and their seeding should be done with the drill about the last half of Oc- tober. Seeding with the drill and seeding at the proper season help prevent winter killing. Detailed information can be secured by writing the Extension Division, University of Arkansas, Fayette- vile.

The Effect of War,

OF course warfare diminishes the
population by the sum of the killed,
and to that extent decreases the de-
mand for food. Nevertheless, the sup
ply of food diminishes rapidly. That
Is brought about, says the Malthous-
ian, through the killing of a relative
ly large proportion of the producers,
the putting of efficient laborers at un.
productive work, the destroying of the
machinery of production, and the
checking of agriculture. Thus war
Immediately increases the pressure of
population on the means of subsist-
ence. and the pressure cannot be en-.
tirely removed until the normal mum.
ber of laborers is again reached. In
other words, war, like emigration.
leaves in the country an excess of
women and children and other non
producers, and so, although reducing
the actual number of the people, has
all the i'll effect of overpopulation.

Denyer.-With their grain crops
amounting to over a third more than
the large crops of last year and with
prices in some instances nearly
double those of 1914-a season OF great
prosperity is predicted for the farm
ers of Colorado in the March report
of the United States bureau of crops.
Excepting the bushels of wheat on
Colorado farms March / the grain
crop. including corn, oats and barley.
exceeds last years supply on hand by
2,7S7,OO0 bushels. At present the Of
ficial government crop estimate
shows that Colorado farmers may ex-
pect 100000 bushels of corn COM
pared with 2,016, 600 last year, 4,29O,-
900 bushels of oats compared with
3,745,0O0 last year, and 100000 bush
els of barley. compared with $4,000 in
1914.
Although decrease in wheat of
2S9,000 bushels. the difference be-
tween 100000 bushels In 1915 against
2,32S,OO0 last year, is estimated, the
price of this grain to producers has
increased from rs cents bushel last
year to $1.20 a bushel this year. This
indicates a net gain to the farmers of
Colorado of $1,29O,OOO in wheat alone
despite smaller crop.
Based on these figures the total
gain predicted for 1915 in the sale of
the grain crop amounts to s3,173,S60,
while the estimated total derived from
sale of the crops will equal $L943, 100.
The gain over last year in barley will
be s255,940, in corn $1,376,32O and in

Soldier Poet Win. paintle,,

Sergt. Max Schwertfeger, attached
to one of the regiments in Flanders,
says the Frankfort correspondence of
the Associated Press. offers remark
able evidence of the fact that the
power Of poetry is not on the wane.
When, recently, he broke into verse In
an appeal for dainties to vary the mo.
notony of military fare, the poem,
which was published in a local paper,
prompted such a number of contrlbu.
tions of packages and boxes of delica-
lessen that Sergeant Schwertfeger
was fairly swamped with them. By
the time of the kaiser's birthday, Jan.
uary 26, he had received 1,027 bundles,
containing SO many varied eatables
that he was able to share them with
about a thousand members of his bat
talon.
When, however, the stream showed
no signs of stopping he was obliged to
appeal once again, this time asking
that the dainties be sent to other sol.
diers on other battle fronts.
