COLD WAVE MAKES
FIRES COMFORTABLE

r~onn tuesdays Dsfb
The minimum thermometer among
the government weather instruments
at Conway being out of repair, the
official temperature was not re-
corded during last night, but the tes-
tirony of the oldest inhabltant Is
that it was the coolest night ever eX-
experienced here in August. Accu-
rate private thermometers registered
h5 degrees above zero at o'clock this
morning, and the mercury was PROB
ablv considerably lower than that be-
fore the sun rose. Heavy blankets
were required for bed-coverings ana
fires. which were not unwelcomed yes
terday, were necessary to comfort
this morning.
The cold wave was widespread
over the central portion of the United
States, dispatch from Washington
last night stating that abnormally
low temperatures prevailed over the
upper Mississippi and lower Missls-
sippi river valleys and the upper lake
regions. In some places the weather
bureau reported the thermometer
showed temperatures which made rec
ords for the month of August. Frosts
were reported in many places. In
some instances they were heavy and
caused considerable damage to crops.
Over almost all of the sections
mentioned the temperatures were
from 10 to 20 degrees below the sea-
sonable average. The cold came down
from the Canadian northwest and
spread eastward, reaching the Allan
tic states today. Frost was predicted
as probable last night in Michigan
and northern and central Indiana
and Ohio.

PARENTS SETTLE
FIGHT FOR SONS

From Thursdays Daily.
A compromise order in a habeas
corpus proceeding brought by G. H..
Watson to secure custody of his three
minor sons from their mother, Mrs.
Amanda Watson, was effected at a
special sitting of the Faulkner chan
Gerry court by Judge Jordan Sellers
of Morrilton this afternoon. The Pc
titioner alleged that the mother of the
children had forcibly taken them from
his custody and was not giving them
the proper care and schooling. By
the order of the court Mrs. Watson
will be required to return with the
children from Pulaski county, where
she has been living, and keep them in
house to be provided by her hus-
band near his own home, giving Mr..
Watson the right to visit them and
requiring him to provide for their
support.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watson have been
married for about 80 years and are
the parents of nine children, of whom
all except the three involved in the
litigation are grown. They have been
separated for two or three years, but
are not divorced. The court endeav-
ored to reconcile them and secure
their promise to live together again,
but Mrs. Watson declined to do this.

WEEKLY LETTER OF
JOHN Il. PACE

Last week l wrote upon the sub
ject of ground limestone and rock
phosphate for Arkansas soils. A
great deal has been said upon the
subject of lining soils, but mostly
from the standpoint of correcting
acidity, or to be palmer to cure the
sourness of soils. This is important
and must not be overlooked, but there
are other benefits. A good deal of
land is called dead, or lifeless soil,
water-soaked soil, etc. These all
need ground limestone, because al
most uniformly, they are sour. But
they must be drained well to get the
full value of lime. Lime will do but
little good on land that is going to
remain covered with standing water
the greater part of the year. First,
drain or dry your land if it needs it,
then apply the lime. Use ground
limestone in preference to burnt lime.
The burnt lime is a caustic, and will
kill out some of the bacterial life
that is so essential to the soil.
All plants have some lime in them,
consequently all soils must have lime
in some form. Land that has been
cultivated a long time with no green
stuff, stalks, weeds or other vegetable
matter turned under, gets hard and
packed, and breaks up in clods. The
soil gets lifeless and poor. When
packed the air cannot get into it, and
it gets poorer and poorer. Lime will
loosen it up, make it crumble, and let
the air in and the water circulate
through it freely. This condition will
release more plant food. The lime
will have a chemical action on the
soil particles and release more plant
food. If you pillow under green stuff
the lime will help to change it into
plant food and enrich the soil. Long
continued cultivation of sandy soils
tends to make them more sandy. The
humus or vegetable matter rots and
is used up and only sand remains.
There is but little life in it and it
will not hold moisture. The air cir
culates too freely and dries it out too
rapidly. 1t will not hold fertilizer
we'll, and the green stuff turned I'M
der sours. Lime it. The lime will
help to overcome the difficulties.
Lime is an element needed in the sol.
to help the other elements. 1t will
make more plant food available. 1t
will warm and enliven the land, let
the air and water circulate properly,
stimulate certain bacteria in the soil,
and on the whole, make your land
more productive. Every farm that
can grow alfalfa should do so. At
least one acre in every 10 should be
in clover and the last crop to be
turned under every third year. In
the meantime, keep up the cow pea
habit. Grow them every year every
where you can.
In using ground limestone, put
four tons to the acre. In about four
years add about one ton to the acre
every year. You will not get your
best results the first year. Ground
Limestone IS fool proof" You cannot
use too much or hurt your land with
it. Buy carload. Don't try to
spread it over your. entire farm, but
put it on 10 acres. Next year do
and so on until you have
lined your entire farm.
John H. Page,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

The speed of bullets is measured In
several different ways and with the
most exquisite accuracy, even to the
millionth Of a second. A cylinder hav-
ing a circumference of 1000 MILL
meters r~evolves ten times in a Sec
ond. Each space Of n millimeter
will representNone t~en-thousandth OF
a second. Each millimeter space is
divided into one-hundredths, which
can be read with a Vernier scale. A
tube 100 meters long is filed with an
explosive and at every ten meters OF
it's length is fixed an insulated con-
ductor governing an electro-magnet
that sets in motion a pen or stylus
tracing lines upon the cylinder, the
surface Of which has been coated with
lamp black. When the charge is ex-
ploded, the breaking of the success
sive circuits fixes exactly the time
that elapses between the breaking at
every ten-meter interval, and this
gives us the speed of the explosion.

ON NARROW GAUGE TRACKS
Railroads Used for Warfare In Europe
Have Equipment That Is Espe-
elaIly Built.

Among the adaptations Of devices
Of domestic convenience to the re-
quirements of modern warfare is the
employment of narrow gauge rail-
ways in the supply Of trenches on
the battle lines at the front in En-
rope. More than 100 such trains, it
is reported, are now in construction
at works in Pennsylvania.
These trains, as described, will run
upon a track two feet in width, in
tunnels so small that they can reach
the firing line, right into the trenches,
unseen by the enemy, carrying am
munition, shrapnel, hand grenades
and arms. BY SO much, it is expected
the resources Of the trench fighters
will be supplied. The use Of such
miniature trains is an incident of the
evolution Of the system of under
ground close-to-hand fighting adopted
in this war.-Boston Post.
