Washington never whined, he never
begged; he simply showed the need.
He was a teacher, like Socrates,
Comenius, Luther, and he injured to
the end. Despite the allurements of
domestic political preferment and the
|enticements of foreign posts, he died
teacher, friend of the child.
Thus we see a slave boy, painstak-
ing to a fault, by his singleness of
purpose, with limited education, place
himself in the front rank of the worlds
scholars, whose counsel statesmen,
presidents, kings and an emperor
sought. He was swerved from his pur-
pose neither by the Establishments of
friends nor the vicious and incessant
shafts of his detractors.

COURAGE.
By Nelson C. Crews.

By 4NGIoUH o OI0Wb.
People whose only idea of courage
was noise and buster have said that
Mr.. Washington was too conservative,
yet those who knew him best knew
there was no man more truly courage
Gus and that he could wait and suffer
and endure without complaint to be
sure that he was right and then the
achievement of some great victory
demonstrated his wisdom. A small
man may be measured in day but a
great man like Booker t. Washington
cannot be measured in generation.

black night like the advancing light
that will not be put out, but grows
larger and larger with its closer view
until astounding the eyes and illumi-

going up thru the devious paths of
existence. This labor for good, this
apostleship of right, this overcoming
of prejudice, this surmounting of OBJ

Critics thought they would smother
this light; they would ridicule this ef-

THE STRUGGLE.

hE HOGGEE.
What is it to be Negro,
But to feel a sharp spur within,
Goading us to high endeavor,
Pressing us on our goal to win?
For our best must e'er be better
Than the work of Saxon race,
Ere the Negro is accorded
With the white men an honored
place.
So the black man takes the challenge
And registers his vok on high,
To make good when chance is Offered
Or tell to God the reason why.

UNCLE SAM ABRoAD.-Nearly II
years experience in foreign coun-
tries has brought me into close per-
sonal touch with some twenty of our
representatives abroad and the re-
cent naive statement that one of our
diplomats" had large interests of his
own to protect in the country where
he is located and the case of Exon
cul Thompson of Aal-La-Chapelle
who ut-TeutOns- the Germans them
selves as a special pleader in their be-
half, are the immediate causes Of my
supplying the following information
at this time.
While race, nationality, financial
interest, religion, etc., will always re-
main strong factors in determining
the viewpoint of the majority Of man
kind, my observation among our dip
lomats in the smaller countries and
especially so with. American consuIs
abroad is, that they and their fam
lies become so strongly affected with
social ambitions that they uncon-
sciously lose their Americanism and
become special pleadeTs for those
among whom they live and move
socially" as against the interests Of
Americans who appeal to them.
While the idea has not gained the
complete recognition Of psychologists
and sOciologists, the truth remains
that in the majority of cases social
ambition is the greatest controlling
force in human society and those
Americans among the second grade
diplomats and consUls who have
never before enjoyed social distinc-
ton and who as U. S. representatives
suddenly come to occupy a iplace of
prominence in the countries in which
they are appointed. become intoxi-

TO THE FARMERS AND guss.
 NESS MEN OF ARKANSAS.

The National Farmers Union has undertaken the task of hold ing general mass meetings of farmers and business men in tl,a cotton growing states of the South, for the purpose of putting on a firm and substantial footing a movement to market the cotton of the South, gradually, as the spinners need it for manufac- turing purposes. This movement has been stimulated by the ac- tion of the Secretary of the Treasury in making 1t possible for the producer to borrow money on their cotton at 6 per cent, and hold it until such time as they are ready to market 1t. The date fixed for the meeting in Arkansas is September 28, and Little Rock IS to be the place of meeting.
 1 am hereby in favor of this movement, and believe with the hearty cooperation of the busi- ness men and farmers. a plan can be adapted under which the cotton of the entire South may be marketed at not less than twelve cents pound.
 l earnestly appeal to all pa triotic citizens, who can do so, to attend this Convention, and lend their counsel and wisdom to the adoption of such a plan as will make it feasible and possible to market the cotton crop gradually, as the market demands it, to the end that the crop of 1915 may be marketed at it's full value, free from every influence of the speculator.
 Come, one and ali, farmers and business men, who are in terested in this matter.

 Commissioner.

FIX UP ROADS NOW.

Good roads are worth more to the farmers than they are to any body else; worth more as aids to marketing and for school, church, and social pleasures. The time to fix roads is not when they are impossible but now, if they need fixing. Now IS the time to go out and grade up the bad places, open up the ditches for good drainage, fill up the low places and put in good concrete culverts. Drain age, grading and dragging are the A. B. C's of good roads and these should be attended to be- fore November. While this is a good time to fix roads it is also a good time to fix up walks around the house, out-buildings on the farm and fix the drainage away from these buildings. Oct ober is d great month for fixing up" for the winter. A bulletin on the drainage of farm land will be furnished by the Exten- sion Division of the University of Arkansas, and also informa- tion on the fXing-up and draining bad roads.

This sauce is not likely to mold; but as a precaution against spoil ing it is advisable-afte filling the jars and putting on the rub bers and tops to place them in the clothes boiler and sterilize
 them for about 30 minutes. If this sauce is properly made, it will have a bright red color and a rather mild sweet taste. It is delicious when served with meats, oysters, baked beans, etc.

WEEKLY LETTER OF 10 FIN E.
 PAGE

The farmers should blow under the peavine stubble instead of cutting a second time, as many are doing. Flow under the green vines this fall ana they will enrich your land for next year more than their value for hay. Do all the fall breaking you can, and pioW deep. It was easy to make a crop this year because the season was good, and plenty of rain fell. Next year it may not be so. Rememb- CT that almost any method of cultivation will make a good crop in a good season, while 1t takes the best methods and greatest care and labor to make a good crop in Q bad season. Next year may bring us a bad season; hope for the best, and prepare for the worst, is a good policy in farming.
 Reduce your cotton acreage, Get more land into hay and pasture crops, Such a system simplifes farming. You can follow a hay crop with any crop you like. You cannot do that with a cotton crop. Hay is easy to grow and is valuable. It pro- vides a means of lessening labor and costs, and brings good returns. A crop of corn at forty bushels to the acre is not a more profitable crop than a ton of good hay to the acre, all things considered. ii you can do so, provide pasture flor hogs, horses and cattle. Thus the stock gather that muchA of the crop and feed themselves. A pasture is much better than out sid e range. Be sure to save enough seed peas for next year, and some to spare for your

CHILE SAUCE RECIPE

The following recipe which was sent out in a bulletin news letter prepared and issued week ly by the agricultural depart ment at Washington. will be found delicious. popular and economical;
 Seald and peel sound, ripe, red tomatoes, Chop into small pieces by pressing through a half inch screen or by running through Q course meat chopper, 36 pounds of tomatoes, 2 pounds chopped onions, 10 ounces ripe bull-nose peppers (after stems and seeds have been removed.)
 The bull-nose peppers should be hot enoagh to give the proper flavor to the sauce. In case they are too mild a small amount of cayenne should be added. A pound of the large sweet, or Chinese pepers, if they can be had, will also add richness and color. Put into 9 granite~Ware or enambled kettle and concen- trate to Is pounds. Because of the tendency to settle on the bottom of the kettle and burn, it is a good plan to allow the tomatoes to stand for few minutes after chopping, during which time considerable juice will separate out. This can be poured off and placed in the kettle and concentrated before the rest of the above ingredients are added. After concentrating to Is pounds, add / II pounds of cider vinegar and 3 ounces of salt.
 Concentrate further to IS 1-2 pounds. and add $ pounds of sugar. Boil slowly five to ten minutes. Put into jars that have been washed in boiling water and seal while hot. The above quantity will yield about g pounds or sufficient to fill IS to 20 pint jars.
 Throughout the boiling care must be exercised by stirring to keep the ingredients from set ting to the bottom and burning. This is especially necessary after the sugar is added. In order to weight the contents of the kettle at different stages in the process of concentrating, the weight of

 DIVIDEND

We read much in the public press today of loyalty to our country"
 It is well, for if any man on earth has reason to feel loyal to his country for benefits con- ferred, that man is the Ameri- can citizen.
 But there is another loyalty which ranks side by side with that of country, and that is "loyalty to home and home people. ''
 We have community here n which any people might feel a just pride, and We have 8 people wholly on a par with the com- munity, though there are times when we are neglectfui of our interests and unmindfui of the disintegrating cons cquence8 which invariably ensue.
 Loyalty always pays its divi- dend, but loyalty to home and home people pays a double divi- dend.
 Let us be loyal to country by all means, but let US be doubly loyal to our home people and our home institutions, for 1t is by this means only that we may thrive, and flourish, and grow as a collective unit in the marts of the world.

Another season of instruction for the youth of the community is before us.
 Let us meet it as becomes an enlightened people who seek to give their ofsprings an educatio n which will enable them to sue cessfuIly cope with the many obstacles that will beset their pathway through life.
 But this is up to the teachers what can we do?' you say. We may perform our own duty in the premises by extending to fine instructors OUT loyal support and encouragement, both by act and word,
 We may impress upon our children the necessity and i'm portance Of absolute obedience to the will of the teacher.
 We may instill into their young minds the knowledge that unless they improve their edu- cational advantages and oppor- tunities of today, the commercial advantages of tomorrow will pass them by.
 This is a day of education, and the man whose mind has received the proper training will be found invariably in the ascendent, fill ing the important positions of life, accumulating the financial competence which their unedu- ated brothers seek in vain to |the end of their days. Itis vitally necessary that our l children of today receive every educational advantage possible tobestoW upon them, and this may only be accomplished to the fullest extent by working in harmony with both teacher and pupil.
 Be not nasty in condemning the teacher for trivial things, but rather bear in mind that the child who comes home with complaints often voices condi- tons which exist mainly in it's too vivid imagination.
 Remember that the teach CT has reached the age of dis cFetlon the child has not. The reasoning capacity of one has been broadened and developed
