Substitute for Horn.

A cheap and easily made substitute for horn can be made of wheat flour and sodium silicate. This substitute is very hard and strong and. by insert ing organic dye into the composition while mixing, it can be eolored to imi- tate almost any kind of horn sub stance. The compound is made by mixing 10 parts (by yolumel Of so- dium silicate f40 degrees Baume) with distilled water. and then stirring the resultant liquid into thick paste with fine white wheat four. The mass is then allowed to stand for three weeks, during which time it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces a hard, hornlike substance. This com position can be molded without pres sure when first made and turned and machined like brass after it has set.

PLENTY FROM TIME BEFORE
Old Parishloner Found Way to Cling to His Original Position About
 Miracle.

One Sunday morning a certain young pastor in his first charge an- nounced neryously:
 T will take for my text the words, And they fed five men with five thou sand loaves of bread and two thou sand fishes.
 At this misquotation an old par ishioner from his seat in the amen corner said audibly;
 That's no miracle-I could do it myself"
 The young preacher said nothing at the time, but the next Sunday be an nounced the same text again. This time he got it right:
 And they fed five thousand men on five loayes of bread and two fishes.
 He waited moment and then. lean ing over the pulpit and looking at the amen corner, he said:
 And could you do that, too. MT. Smith?"
 Of course I could.9 Mir. Smith re- piled

GROWERS ASSOCIATION GIVES FIGURES ON ACREAGE, coNDI-
 TON AND GROWTH.
STATE HAS 100000 ACRES
Crop Unusually Early and Condition Decidedly Above AVeraee-Texas and Louisiana Are Below
 Normal.
Stuttgart


 The Southern Rice Growers As sociation, after careful and thor ough canvas of the growing crop of rice, has made the following esti- mates:
 The acreage devoted to rice in this country for 1915 totals 979,000 acres, and is divided by states as follows: Louisiana, 399.000 acres; Texas. 255.- 900; Arkansas, 100000; California, 33,- coo, and Atlantic coast states, 10000. About 7S per cent of the rice grown piled by large canal companies, while practically all the irrigation in Arkan- sas is from deep wells.
 The crop is reported as late both in Texas and Louisiana, and the old lands are grassy.
 The crop conditions in beth Louis- jana and Texas arc reported below normal, and while these states will show an increase in acreage, it is not thought that they will show an in crease in the total production.
 A three weeks trip through the Ar kansas rice country just completed by MT. Eignus, general manager of the Southern Rice Growers Association, with headquarters at Beaumont, Tex as, shows the Arkansas crop unusual ly early and the condition decidedly above the average

 Several months ago a dog belonging to MT. Storey, section foreman of Sup ply Okla, was run over by train and two of his legs cut off. For some time he was unable to move around, but now has recovered so that he can nav. igate quite handily. The two legs on which he is forced to walk are both on one side. He not only walks, but can also run, and seems to be about as well able to get around as dog with four good legs.

ARE YOU UNSECURED
 BY SKIN ERUPTION?

Pimples, rashes, ringworm, prickly- heat and. worst of all, that red itch ing, scaly torment, eczema, vanish when you use resinol ointment and resinol soap. There is no doubt about it. Even though your skin is so unsightly with eruption that you shun your friends and your friends shun you, resinol usually makes it clear and healthy, quickly, easily and at trifling cost. When you are sick of wasting time and money on tedious, expensive treatments. get resinol oint- ment and resinol soap from the near est druggist and you will quickly see why physicians have prescribed them for twenty years for just such troubles as yours!

Sidney G. Kahn of Little Rock, vice president of big banking concern, in an interview says that the farmers Of Arkansas are in good condition Mr Kahn recently visited different sec. tions of the state
 Farmers this year are learning to raise their crops more economically, !" said MT. Kahn, and as q rule they are paying off their debts, where ordi- narily they would be mourning more debts. By next spring a large number of them will be completely in the clear, and Arkansas will begin to experience an unprecedented era of prosperity.
 The reduction in cotton acreage this year has been conservatively es- timated at 10 per cent or greater. Ill the place of this cotton, farmers are raising food products and feed for their stock, so that they are not forced to exchange cotton for these things. As result, a good many farmers now have money in the bank whereas un. Ger the ene-crop system they would be still cultivating their cotton, which would already be heavily mortgaged. The best farmers this year are raising enough food and feed crops to feed themselves and their cattle. and their cotton can be saved and used for ready money.
