Paris, May lit is persist

Germany and Austria-Hungary
have already declared or are
about to declare war on Italy in

selves.
Another rumOr current on the
Bourse today was that the Ital-
ian government has signed an
agreement with the allies
Great Britain, France and Rus
sia-to take part in the war not
later than May 26.
French observers infer from the
audience yesterday between King Vic
tor Emmanuel and former Prime
Minister Giolitti that the nininterven-
ton party in Italy has determined to
withdraw all opposition to the war.
Consequently, the Italian parties
would be united in support of a war
policy, in the judgment of French OBJ
servers, based on two fundamental
considerations, namely, that wrongs
have been done to Serbia and Belgium
and that the racial aspirations of the
Italians on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic and in the Mediterranean
now can be satisfied
Military writer's are presenting the
argument that war for Germany and

Gives Beauty Advice.

Girls, young ladies and misses, it's no use to spend your coin on rouge and powder to make yourself look beautiful It will not improve your looks. And if you insist upon wearing small, tight shoes with high heels, you can depend upon it that they will bring hard, drawn lines in your face. Another menace to beauty is four pound skypiece on your belfry. This is all according to Dr. Ida c. Nahm, who makes sweeping denunciation of these things. If you want to retain your youthful beauty for ever and ever, follow these dictates, says the doctoress: Plenty of soap and warm water, lots of outdoor exercise, espe- cially walking, and drink two quarts of water every day. These will insure health, red cheeks and a slim, youth ful figure. Doctor Nahm recommends the water cure and walks especially for ladies with too much embonpoint. She says it's the safest, surest and quickest way to reduce.

 FOR EASTERN ARK.
THOUSAND OF ACRES OF OATS AND WHEAT HAVE ALREADY
 BEEN SOWN.
WILL RAISE FORAGE CROPS
Reduction in Cotton Acreage in Three Counties Will Reach 25 Per Gent,
 Says ki!louoh.
Wynne.-

Wynne.-
 'I believe there will be reduction of at least 25 per cent in the cotton acreage in Eastern Arkansas this year," said O. N. Killough of Wynne.
 q am certain there will be consider able reduction in cotton acreage in the counties of Mississippi, Cross and Crit tenden," said MT. Killough. lover in our end of the state we already have sowed considerable land in oats and wheat and we are planting more corn. We also are going to plant more peas and kaffir corn this year than ever be- fore More than 1,7OO bushels of Su- dan grass seed has been purchased to be sown around Earle and other towns nearby, and many farmers who have sown oats will resow the same land i'll peas.
 q have never favored the reduction of cotton production as a means of pulling the price, but have always ia vored the reduction of acreage and h. creasing the production by intensive cultivation. The Southern farmers should make their cotton acres pro- duce more and then plant their sur plus acres in other crops and get away from the one-crop idea"
 Mir. Killough operates more than g. 0G0 acres of land. He never plants cotton on his home place, which con- tains about 200 acres. On this he has one of the finest apple orchards on Crowley's Ridge and as fine as can be found in Eastern Arkansas.
 'I have arranged with my tenants, who cultivate about 1000 acres of land, to reduce their cotton acreage and increase their corn acreage" he said. ''To get them to plant more corn, I have contracted to pay them soc per bushel for their corn. This arrange ment, I hope, will induce them to plant more grain than heretofore.

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes of the Nightingale, for Instance, Are Inspired by
 Paternal Love.

It is generally assumed that bird sings because he is happy, but sci ence goes deeper for an explanation of the why and wherefore of the birds song. Natures optimistic joy in constructive progress is expressed in the singing of the male birds who charm their mates to further their wooing, and continue after eggs are laid to encourage the fulfllment of matching
 The song stops when the little birds come out of the shell. The nightin- gale. for weeks during the period of nest-building and matching, charms his mate and human ears near him with the beautiful music of his love song But as soon as the little night ingales come from the eggs the song changes to a sort of guttural croak, implying anxiety and sense of respon- sibility
 If the nest and contents were de- stroyed the nightingale would at once resume his beautiful song to inspire his mate to help him build another nest and start all over again the low ing work of being fruitful and multi plying.

COUNT" TOO ABSENT MINDED
Principal Reason Why One Interna- tionaI Marriage Was Permanent
 iy Called Of.

Henry P. Davison of the Morgan banking firm was talking about inter- national marriages:
 Well" he said, q know of one in- ternational marriage that failed, thank goodness, to come off. The girl was the daughter of, a Paint Rock millionaire. The man was a count, a Spanish count.
 ''The count was absent minded. That was his undoing. The girls father gave a dinner for him in the Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint Rock, and at the dinners end the count got up to light a cigarette and then, by jove, started to remove the plates.
 "The guests watched him in an open-mouthed silence. His napkin slung over his arm, he had got nearly all the plates removed when his mil lionaire host said to him gently:
 "'Wake up, George. You're not waiting in the beanery now, you know. You're pretending you're a count in Paint Rock Wake up, man, for gracious sake!'''
