0Icadoo,s Cotton Sclleme.

The announcement by Secretary Nc
lAdoo of his purpose to loan without
interest $4,000. 600 in gold to three
southern federal reserve banks, with
the purpose of enabling them in turn
to loan this money on cotton ware
house receipts, has brought forth the
charge that such step is both I'M
necessary and futile and can be do
signed for no purpose other than to
make political capital. This Is the
view of practically all the bankers ana
financiers, who recall that a year ago
Mr.. McAdoo caused to be raised
500 100000 cotton pool which was
total failure, almost no part of the
fund being used after it was raised,
and the results being SO ridiculous as
to make the men Interested ashamed
to make public the amount of their
expenses. which they paid out of their
own pockets rather than reveal the
extent of the f1asco.
1t is commended by those interested
that the southern banks are in no need
OF funds beyond what they can easily
procure from their regular banking
correspondents and tshat the PROPOSE
ton to loan them $50 100000 of govern
ment funds is merely a petty scheme
for currying political favor.

TO HONOR CARRIE A. NATsON

Long before the peculiar antics ol Emmeline Pankhurst and her sulfragette army of London at tfaeted the attention of the civilized world and alm os t worried Home Secretary Me Aenna into premature grave, Mllltancy on the part of women, was known in his country. Who can fail to remember the valiant deeds of the redoubtable Carrie Nation? Armed with her llttle hatchet she started forth to enforce prohibition through ueStructlon, and for several years her smashing campaign amused the country, as well as Flmped liquor dealers in Kansas and various other states.
 Like all nine days wonders, however, Carries vogue as 3 Natlon-Wide spectacle was cur tailed once the general public be- cane hardened to her peculiar cfusade. The hatchet, the de s'ructive emblem of her proselyt- ing, continued to be used and usually succeeded in it's purpose to smash a joint. .

WHEN CHILDREN SAVE THE PEN.
 g}sEg

Every child receives many pennies and nickeIs and dimes from its parents, and brothers and sisters and it's uneles and aunts and cousins.
 But what becomes of those pennies?
 In a few cases they go into a juvenile savings bank and are kept from the sight of the child.
 In many cases they come easy and go easier-the child squan- ders them as fast as 1t gets them.
 And both cases are a distinct injury to the future of the child.
 You cannot begin too young to teach your child the value of money, to impress upon it's little mind the fact that without money it will find the pathway of lie a rough one to be trod,
 Let the child have the money. Teach it to count it, to realize it's value, to speculate On what it will buy; but above all, instill in it's mind a desire to watch it grow.
 Let it spend 8 portion of it's pennies-say one-half of what it oets in it's youthful days-but in that expenditure teach it to select something of practical value, even though the cost be 1 but a few cents.
 Then teach 1t itself to save the other half and watch the pennies grow.
 Encourage 1t to count them i
 over frequently and to keep track of the increase, and keep gently but consistently at thla course until the child instinctiye- Iy and voluntarily places the other half of all it gets in its own little bank.
 Let it have it's candy and its nlavthinqs by all means, but let it learn the lesson of care fully considering the value oi every little purchase it makes

handed, had started to destroy the liquor traffic, ootand branch. Finally this palled on a public that was receiving manifold sen sations in other directions, and Carrie went back to Kansas to attract no more attention until the telegraph wires flashed the new of her death.
 Kansas, to which all peculiar careers are a sort of a heritage, does not intend that Carrie shall remain unhonored and unsunc. For years her picture has beamed in it's frame over the culprits hailed before the desk sergeant of the Wichita police station. Beneath the portrait rested the quiescent hatchet. Now, there is a plan on foot to enlarge the photograph, and place it, to- gether with the hatchet, in the rooms of the State Historical Society at Topeka in order to give the militant woman dead a need of honor that was refused to her in her lifetime.
 This action smacks of Kansas, whose idiosyncrasies are as marked as in the days when William Allen White proaounded that absorbing query. Whats S the matter with Kansas?' Well, this latest Carrie Nation episode, in a measure, should answer that question. -Phila d delphia Press.

PLANT COVER CROPS.

For profit our land must pro- duce maximum yields. To make maximum yields our soils must be fed and the fertility of the land held in the soil. One means of doing this is to grow
 winter cover crops of rye, wheat, oats, crimson clover, bur clover and vetch. By growing one of these crops the fertility of the
 land is not Ieached out by winter rains and the soil is pre- vented from wasting. The farm
 CT gets returns from the soil when it would otherwise be idle and in addition fertility is added to the land. For Arkansas pur- poses, rye is probably an all round winter cover crop. Planted during the first half of October at the rate of four pecks an acre,
 it will produce good winter

 The high esteem in which these occasions are held by the mu8ic-loving public was made manifest by the house being well filled long before the time for opening.
 Much credit is due Mrs. Kin ney for the untiring, never ceas- ing efforts she puts forth in the culture she gives her pupils, not only in music, but in every line of work she takes up.

'5t2gat COMMANDMENTS FOR
 CLEANLINESS

The following ten command ments for cleanliness were pro- mulgated by the Pueblo, Colo, Commerce Club. Dirt in the houses. the stores, the diaries, the yards, the streets and alleys results in death for babies from summer complaint and for the grown people from typhoid. In clean towns the standard of be- haVior is better. There is better public spirit. Hence these commandments:
 Thou shalt locate, report and abolish all public nuisances.
 2-Thou shalt not spit on side walks or any public place or conveyance.
 3-Thou shalt remember that filth breeds flies and that aies makes funerals.
 4-Thou shalt not sweep thy sidewalks in the business section after half past seven in the morning.
 5-thou shalt not throw tin cans nor rubbish in any back yard, vacant lot, CT alley. 6-Thca shalt provide 8 cover- ed receptacle for all manner of house and st bIe refuse.
 Thou shalt gather and burn all sorts of combustibIe rubbish.
 8-Thou shalt not haul refuse in leaNy or overloaded wagons. 9-Thou shalt wage continual warfare on weeds, dandelions and untrimmed trees.
 10-Thou shalt WhiteWash or paint thy buildings, and shalt keep thy premises constantly clean.

THE COUNTY AGENT

The most valuable aid to agri- culture in Arkansas is the County Agriculture Agent. Forty-eight counties have agents and five counties have t5 0 agents and twenty have home demonstra- tion agents for the girls and women. Why not make 1t unan- imous? One Arkansas farmer wrote to the College recently that the-agent in his county had been worth $10,00Q this year in handling live stock diseases. If farmers want these agents let them say so and say 1t out loud now.

SELECT RSEEoENGs cuEETs

Careful farmers should select and separate from rest of herd all quilts intended for breeding purposes. Select from large filters and from good mothers. Don't select for prettiness but for business. These should be kept growing but net fat, up to breeding time and then kept separate from others until after farrowing. The Extension Di- vision of the University of Ark ansas stands for more and better live stock.

FEsESs} COWS NEAT vaENTER

Winter dairying is far more profitable than summer dairying, The Extension Division of the College of Agriculture at Fayette- vile is starting out on a five year campaign to make Ark ansas rich through live stock. If farmers want profitable dairy ing next winter they should plan the breeding accordingly. There should be a thousand good dairy bulls brought into Ark ansas this winter but if not, breed anyway for more dairying next winter. A good way to add to farm dairy stock is to pick up the good heifer calves from the town cows.

Federal Smith-Lever fund must appropriate and spend in exten- sion work at least an equal amount of money from sources within the state. The money from the states will bring the joint demonstration fund to $1, 690, 900 in 1915-16.
 In addition to the Smith-Lever l finds, however, the Department 'cf 4 Agrieulture during 1916 will .expend from it's own appropri- ations fer farmers cooperative demonstration work and for other direct field instruction in special subject over $1, 025, 000. As the accompanying table (p.8) shows, however, the states will raise from sources within the state and spend for dem0nstra- ton work @ total of $2, $50, O00. This will make a great total of $4, 750, GOO to be spent in the fiscal year 1915-16 in bringing practical and helpful instruction to the farmer and his family in their own communities.

psAVNs AND HANG 5.

Everybody has brains and .,oet everybody has hands, and u 4ho two combined should chase .be wolf from any door.
 "A few people begin life by rorking with their hands, and as opportunity presents they .brow their brains into the fray sod make a success in their chosen vocation.
 Later we speak of them as self made men.
 Others start life with their hands, never use anything but their hands, and die as they began.
 And we speak of them as failures.
 Now. why can't everybody in this town use their brains as well as their hands?
 Begin to-day to concentrate yOur thoughts upon performing yOur labors just a little better than you did yestarday, and each day strive to move upward on the ladder of efficiency,
 When you do this you will find your boss behind and push ing you about as energetically as YOU are climbing. Through your efforts and his you will soon reach the top, and when the proper opportunity arrives you will become somebody else's boss.
 You will then be fairly launch ed upon your career, and care ful exercise of the brain and a liberal use of your hands will lead you on to success in life.
 Brains without hands seldom accomplish much, and hands without the use of brains will most assuredly never startle the world.
 Brains and hands should work together and in complete har- mOny.
 Together they will surmount the obstacles of life's pathway. but singly they will skate through existence on the fringe of diversity.
 Many young boys are growing up in this town whose future IS yet to be carved out. If taught the proper use of their brain power while young they will become self made men of the future. If allowed to drift along until they arrive at mans estate they will find greater use for the hand than for the brain. They may not become failures, but at best they will simply be eogs in the machinery of better men. Start your boy right and he will travel the rest of the way on his own nettle.
