TEMPERANCE INSURANCE.

Tt may interest abstainers to know" says the Temperance Leader that in 1S40 an application was re- ceived by an English insurance com pany for policy on the life of an abstainer, and the directors of the company decided to charge ten per cent. more than the ordinary pre- mium, because they looked upon the applicant as thin and watery, and as mentally cranked in that he repudi- ated the good creatures of God as found in alcoholic drinks. As the result of this action, he, with his friends, founded the first temperance insurance company in Britain, and himself lived to the age of eighty two.

OUR CANTALOUPE CULTURE
To Produce High Grade Product Use
 Care in Selection of Seed.

Cantaloupes do best on warm. well'drained sandy loam soil. They should be well supplied with humus but neither excessively rich nor of heavy clay. The ground should be thoroughly prepared and deep fall blowing is a good practice Clover. lespedeza and alfalfa are good crops to precede melons.
 Many costly mistakes are made by growers using poor seed Do not try to tell good seed from the looks, but buy it from a reliable seed grower even if it is necessary to pay s1.O0 to Sl50 a pound
 Cantaloupes are usually planted Tn hlls four by six feet, and six by six feet in size It has been found a good practice to place a shovelful of well rotted stable manure in each hill. being sure that the manure and soil arc thcroughly miXed Plant from eight to 10 seed in each hill, scatter ing the seed over ahOrt one souare foot Cf space and placing them about ono inch deep, When they come un. thin to three and four plants per hiIl.
 It is not difficult to produce canta, loupes, but it is not an easy task to produce high grade cantaloupes and then pack and market them success. fully. Those interested in growing cantaloupes commercially should write to the Experiment Station, Fayette. vile, Ark, for further details.

Very truly yours, HENRY COE CULBERTSON,

'President College of Emporia."
 In a personal letter to Mr. White, a copy of which is also in the hands of the w. c. T. |. Publicity bureau, Mr Culbertson deals with the college financial affairs in detail We quote:
 The article to which you call my attention is utterly absurd. Neither the College of EmporIa nor Washburn college ever received an annual do- nation or $200 000' from the East. So far as l can ascertain, during the en- tire thirty-two years existence of the College of Emporia, this institution has not received as much as S65 900 in all, for all purposes, buildings, en. dowment and current expenses, from persons living outside the state. This is an average of about two thousand dollars per year. Almost all of our endowment, and the money to erect our buildings, as well as the money to meet our current expense budget of $40,000 per year, has come from the gifts of the people in this pro- hibition state of Kansas
 Even if it cost us $2O0,000 or any other amount in possible gifts. our faculty, officers and trustees would still indorse most emphatically the prohibition policy, which We believe involves the moral and social wei. fare of our state and nation"

Your Heath Don't Endanger it
 With CaIomel

It is generally agreed by ex- perts in this country and Europe that calomel has a very violent effect on the system. This ac- counts for the familiar disagree able feeling accompanying a dose and the weakened condition fol- lowing it.
 Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless veg etable compound, that is a mild but effective substitute for calo- mel. It has all the effectiveness, but not the effect, of calOmel. Its splendid value has brought it into such wide use that in some states it has almost entirely re- placed calomel.
 Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once and you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfaction or money re- funded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

THE LAST LAUGH"

THE LAST LAUGH"
 An article under the above caption has been going the rounds of the press. It assails William Allen Whites story, What's the Matter With Kansas?" published some time since in the Saturday Evening Post MT. White" it said, "boasted about the big crops of Kansas, the per cap ita wealth of Kansas, the number of automobiles in Kansas, and almost succeeded in making everyone believe that Kansas was wholly rich as well as richly holy. But he overdid it. And his home town, Emporia, is the goat For years the College of Elm poria has been largely supported by means of donations from wealthy Fasteners, who imagined they were assisting a poor little college on the wind-swept prairies.' When these rich patrons read MT. Whites clever but misleading article they withdrew their subscriptions. This year the college must look to home for the an nual donation of $2OO,OOO, which used to come out of the East"
 The National w. c. T. U. Bureau of Publicity forwarded the article to MT. White and in reply he says:
 T have received, should say, dozen or fifteen clippings from all over the United States exactly like the one you sent. The clippings was sent out by the liquor interests through the National Clipping bureau, and there is no truth whatever in the statement. It is pure fiction"
 MT. White sends also the following statement written for the public by the president of the college:
 ITO WHOM TT MAY CONCERN:
 q have learned that certain selfish interests are circulating a story that the College Of Emporia has lost dona- tions and subscriptions in the East, due to an article in The Saturday Evening Post on the prohibition situa- tion in Kansas, written by William Allen White. 1 wish to say there is absolutely no foundation for this story.

Extension Service of College of Aarl.
 culture Planning Work

Cooperation, or in other words, or ganfzed marketing, is one of Arkansas greatest problems at the present time. In many localities satisfactory produce Is grown and can be produced in large quantities if profitable market can be secured and maintained Reputa- tion on any market can be made by catering to the demands of the mar. ket and held by delivering the goods according to the standards required by that market It is we'll known that high standards of efficiency can ha reached by individuals, but as a rule are not ordinarily attained. and local organization must be resorted to to protect the individual or the com munity.
