Good Hunting.

It was at St. Andrews in Scotland, the home of golf, where the links stretch away over the moors by the sea, and dear, quiet Aunt Mary had gone up from London to visit golfing family of nephews and nieces. At tea the first afternoon some one man aged to stop talking golf long enough to ask, "Well Aunt Mary, how did you spend the morning?"
 "Oh, I enjoyed myself immensely, my dear. I went for walk on the moor.
 "A good many people seemed to be about in a most eccentric manner. But l didn't take any notice of them. And, oh, my dear, I found such num- Der of curious litle round things! I brought them home to ask you what they are"
 Hereupon Aunt Mary opened her work bag, and produced twenty four golf balls.-Youth's Companion.

20 Tons of Potatoes Per Acre

According to the current issue of Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, some of the logged-off lands near Ia coma, Washington, produce 20 tons of potatoes an acre. Follows is brief extract from the little artice setting forth the facts:
 After the lumber companies have cut down the timber they sell the land The purchasers remove the stumps, and plant the land to potatoes.
 Potatoes make very good crop on logged-off lands. The cultivation necessary for successful potato culture puts the soil in an excellent condition of tilth, and much plant food is made available for succeeding crops.
 "The large amount of humus in the soil of former timber tracts is due to the leaves and other vegetation fall ing and rotting on the ground for centuries"

The Origin of One Worthy Wheeze.

Much of the worlds best humor has it's origin in the little print shops out in Kansas, says the Kansas City Star. Almost year ago a Kansas editor wrote a paragraph substantially as follows: Every time I look at my grandfather's sword I want to be a soldier. But every time I think of my grand-father's wooden leg I change my mind" The Star used the para graph with proper credit and away it went. From New York it went to London, and now it is on it's way back. Last weeks Life had it credited as follows:
 Every time I see grandfathers sword and medals" said Bill, q long to take part in universal war"
 Then, as an afterthought, Bill said: But every time 1 look at grandfath- CTS wooden leg I long for the advent of universal peace"

INQUIRIES CONCERNING IN
 QUERIES ABOUT ARKANSAS


 We print below clipping from the Four County Courier publication recently started by Sam Samson and Sam Branch.
 "There are frequent press notices that John H. Page receives many let ters from people who want to come to Arkansas to get homes. What be- comes of these notices? Does MT. Page have a few real estate firms in his circle who help to keep Page in office for favors shown? There is no report of families that he has caused to locate in Arkansas. This may be due to his modesty CD A tree is known by the fruit it bears."
 These publishers evidently have not gone to the trouble to secure the names of those making inquiries about our state or they would have been printing them each week as they were mailed out by MT. Page. It is pos sible that they did not know that they were furnished for the press. Any way they should secure the list as it is made up and publish it in their pa per. We publish the latest list of names received by MT. Page and re- quest that the publishers of the Four County Courier (Messrs. Samson and Branch) insert it in the next issue of their paper so that the population of their community may be increased:
