NOT ALL HAVE JOYOUS TIME
Where Beauty, Not CIeverneas, Is Sought Out.

The fourth dance was nearly overs and she was still sitting by the wall. her hands clasped in her lap and her blank program dangling by her side. The expression of pleasure which had been spontaneous at the beginning of the evening, had become fixed and strained through the long period of waiting. At last the music ceased and the dancers, flushed and laughing. scattered about the hall. N.,
 The girl rose stifly and tried tQ mingle with the crowd. A few acS quaintances nodded absently, then moved away. Bold in her distress she elbowed her way into a noisy group and laid her hand timidly upon the arm of one of the girls.
 That's a pretty dress, Marie" she said, trying to smile. "Thank you. Are you having a good time?" Love. ly," she answered, with a brave ate tempt to smile. Her friend hesitated: then turned deliberately to her own coterie.
 The wallflower stood awkwardly outside the closed circle; then pushed toward another group. The music started up; there was mad confusion. and the girl was caught in a scurryI of young men finding their partners. Left alone in the middle of the floor and buffeted by the dancers, there was nothing for her to do but seek the wall again.
 Her cheeks burned in confusion asl she found herself again surrounded byl vacant chairs. She moved to thel side of two girls sitting farther down the hall For moment she felt less conspicuous; but both girls werel claimed by their partners and she was again left alone against the wall.l Pretty girls glanced at her with genu-l inc pity; girls of uncertain popularity eyed her scornfully as they passed.
 At last, blinded by a rush of hot tears, she arose and went from thel music and merriment into the silence, of the deserted dressing room.

U. s. BRIGHTER
 IN PERIL AT SEA
Steamer Minnesota, Reported Victim of PlOtters, Is Said to be Helpless.
 Machinery Tempered With.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 5.-The disabl- ed Great Northern treighter Minne- sota is wallowing practically helpless about 25 miles southwest of the Core nado Island, according to meagef radio report received here To-day.
 The raido said the big freighter wus awaiting the arrival of tugs steaming at full speed from San Francisco. Nothing was said regarding the man or men reported to have been impris- Oned in the ships brig for an alleged attempt to disable the freighter by crippling her machinery.
 The Coronado. Islands are 15 miles southwest of this port.
 Expected to Reach Port.
 The Minnesota yesterday was re- ported making her way slowly to port under her own steam and is was ex- pected then that she would be able to make the trip without assistance. The extent of her injuries were not men toned in the message to line officials. The latter declined to make any state ments.
 It was rumored yesterday that three men on board the vessel, alleged to have been responsible for the acci- de~+ were under arrest. A report n en Francisco today states that
 one man is in irons, accused
 ag to wreck the vessel. The l. indicated that the freighter was continuing her trip toward port.
 Machinery Damaged.
 It is said that when the boat was at sea the machinery was found to have been tampered with and badly damag- ed The investigation is said to have led to the discovery of a plot to dis able the ship and possibly to blow 1t up somewhere near the Panama canal.
 The Minnesota is the largest yes- sel flying the American flag and she was bound from San Fransico to Eng land with foodstuffs. She is reported to have been about 75 miles from San Francisco when the plct was dIscov- cred.

.lations. Seed can be secured from Usually the hulled seed is imported. This seed is high priced for extensive planting. A small acreage should however, be planted from which seed can be secured for the following sea- son. Burr clover, as rule, contains a. large per cent of hard seed, which do not absorb moisture and germinate the first year planted, consequently it is necessary to resort to boiling the seed for one minute before seeding Where boiling is attempted and the crop is being grown for the first time, attention should be given to securing inoculation in some other way. When the crop is seeded for the first time quite certain.
 European Vetch Is Scarce.
 Winter vetch is a product of the war zone, and the seed according to report is rather high in price and can- not be obtained in large quantities. Such sced as is obtained is likely to be old nd should be thoroughly test ed for termination. This crop is one that i" very desirable, especially in combination with winter rye or winter oats.
 Winter small grain should not be forgotten in seeding fall crops. Win ter rye for fall, winter and early spring pasture Is especially desirable because of the ability of the crop to when drilled upon well prepared seed bed on land with fair drainage, is safe. The oats mature later than the rye, and usually can be depended upon to produce as large yield Of straw and much better yield of grain. For hay the crop is much to be preferred to rye. Winter wheat is hardier than winter oats, especially where the ground is subject to freez- ing and thawing However, in view of the susceptibility of winter wheat to rust, the oat crop is to be preferred, especially where grain production Is the main object For best results winter wheat should be seeded on land of fairly good fertility if a good grain crop is desired Winter barley has not shown up in trials at the Ex- pertinent Station. There is 6 chance that it may be recommended for win ter nasturinp in soutH >Arlxansas but present information concerning the crop is indefinite.
 Small Grains Economical.
 Undoubtedly under present prices winter small grains are more economi- cal on a large scale for winter cover crops than are the winter legumes. For poor land undoubtedly crops like winter rye and winter oats will pro- duce larger growth than the winter rgumes.

MAKING CHOICE OF
 FALLSEEDEDCR0PS
Legumes, Crimson Glover, Spotted Burr Glover and Hairy Vetch A:e Better Soil Improvers Than the Small Grains.

Better farming demands that every Arkansas farmer grow winter cover crops. Such practice is essential from the standpoint of soil improve ment as we'll as increased farm prof it's. Fall seeded crops come in two classes, namely, winter legumes and winter small grains. Each class bears an important relation to any system of successful farming that may be practiced.
 The fall seeded legumes, such as crimson clover, spotted burr clover and hairy vetch are better soil i'm provers than the small grains, since by the means of tlre bacteria living in nodules on the roots they are able to take free nitrogen from the air and transfer it in the plant tissues.
 Time of Seeding.
 These crops are best seeded in late August or early September over the greater part of the state. though the time may be safely extended until Oc tober in southern districts. Such a seeding will depend largely on the amount of soil mixture present, the earlier seedlings are, however, prefer able in order to secure increased hard mess during winter and this, in turn results in greater yields in the spring crops.
 Crimson clover is especially desira- ble where quick growing annual le- gume is desired to follow corn or cot ton in a rotation The crop, if used for hay, will be ready to cut in late April and can then be followed with other crops, such as corn, cowpeas and sorghum. Crimson clover seed can be purchased comparatively cheap upon the market Seeding the crop between rows of corn or after cow peas is frequently practiced Crimson clover makes very desirable winter cover crop, especially when it is plant. ed upon properly prepared ground Care should be taken not to cover the seed too deep.
 A Good Combination.
 Burr clover is reseeding in habit and consequently is especially adapt cd to land which is to remain in nas- ture or meadow for a few years. With Bermuda and Lespedeza, burr clover makes ono of fha hast n> nht

Fate and Character Alike.

Fate and Character Alike.
 It took the world many generations co recognize and to accept the simple truth that fate and character were the same. Even now, though it is ad- vocated virtually by all creeds and by all persons who think about the matter, it is rather an idealistic the ory than practical reality. To take it into the mind and tlfe heart, to care for it sufficiently to put it in control of the feelings, to give it, in other words, loving recognition, is to turn from wayward and contradictory theories and to make a right start in living.

ANXIOUS ABOUT ROMAN ART.
Americans Believe, However, the
Damages Can Be Repaired.

NEW YORK, January 15.-Prominent
architects and art lovers of New York,
according to statements today, are anxious
for comprehensive reports from Italy
which will set at rest the fears now felt
for scores of ancient monuments and
churches in Rome and other cities in the
earthquakes path. Especial interest is
felt for the fate of the American
Academy in Rome
Cass Gilbert, the architect, who ex-
pressed the sentiment of all art lovers
who spoke on the subject, stated that so
far as he had been able to judge from
the cable advices, no irreparable damage
had been done in Rome.
From what 1 have read.'' said Mr.
Gilbert, Il can see no reason why the
column of Marcus Aurelius and the facade
of St. John Lateran should not be re-
paired. From the damage done these
two buildings I should judge that the
earthquake traveEsed the center of the
city,"
Mr.. Gilbert and others did not believe
that the Vatican and st. Peters suffered
very much from the earthquake.
