HAVING A SENSE OF HUMCR

Back in the days of the old
 New Haven Colony, a certain
 estimable cleryman, Samuel A.
 Peters by Il a m e, introduced
 what have since come to b e known as the Blue Laws" " Ac- cording to this code, 8 mother could not kiss her child on the Sabbath; men were not allowed to shave on the Lords Day, and the law even decreed how they should trim their hair, Married persons were compelled to live together or go to jail.
 History, however, h row s some light on Mir. Peters case. He was born, it appears, before this time. He was a humorist, but the New England fathers couldn't understand his humor. He drafted the Blue Laws as a joke. His code was intended as a satire on the Puritanic laws then in existence. He meant to reduce the Blue laws ad absur- dem. But, ah! the irony of fate. The straight-laced magistrates of those narrow and bigoted days interpreted his laws" literally, and enforced them literally. To them. ungifted wit h tn e saving grace of humor, the laws were reasonable and good.
 We have made some progress since then, but there are too many earnest reformers of the present day, who, like the old New Englanders, lack a sense of humor. They take themselves and all the world too seriously, and 1t is these later-day Puritans who are responsible for much of the foolish an q unnecessary legislation with which the coun- try has been burdened.

BUTTER MAKING DEMOkSTRA- TON AND SCORING CONTEST

We have planned two meet ings for December which we hope will be of great worth to the farmers who make butter. One at Eureka Springs, Decem- Der 9th and the other at Green Forest, December 10th. MT. R. H. Mason, dairy husbandman for Arkansas, will give practi- cal demonstration in butter making, and will also score all all butter brought in for exhibit.
 There will be no public criti- cism of butter submitted for scoring but each exhibitor will receive a written statement showing how they can improve their product. This will enable those making butter to improve their meteods and to be able to command the highest market price for the same.
 Mr. Farmer and MT. business man, will you help boost for this meeting and those of real prac- tical worth to the community? We hope you will and that we will have meetings on these dates that we can be proud of.
 Yours for better farming,
 Ben F. Greer, County Agent.

Foot Fault Rule Enforced.
There were several complaints Fri

I tee was held at noon on Saturday
4! when il was decided to strictly enforce
this rule I'm all the semi-finals and
finals This handicapped some Of the
players who had been habitually vio-
latins the rule, but it resulted in bet
ter tennis.
The quality of tennis played here this
year shows the great strides that the
game is making in the border states
and persons who have seen uourna-
ments in various parts Of the country
declare the play was quite on a par
with what is usually seen In the big
national championships The south
west now has some players who are
able TO hold their own with the best
in the country.
One noticeable feature OF the tourna-
ment was that not a single one of the
expected dark horses mana ged to be
in at the finish All the players in the
semi-finals were true citizens Of the
