REMARK ABLE REPTILES.

During the time of deposition of the clays constituting the Morrison shale in Southern Colorado there existed d great variety of remarkable reptiles of huge size. Their bones, which are in places abundant, are the remains of animals tha were mired in the soft clay of which the Morrison formation largely consists. Some of these crea- lures, such as the Brontosaurus, were 60 feet long. Mony of them had re- markably small heads, notably the Stegosaurus, which had so diminutive a brain that it-must have been very stupid. This animal was undoubtedly very clumsy also, but it's huge size and protective armor aided in its pre- seryation.-U. s. Geological Survey

TUBERCULOSIS GAN BE CURED
 AT HOME.

It is not necessary to seek change of climate. The climate of Arkansas is good; and after all it is the oxygen that fights tuberculosis and this oxygen can be secured from the fresh air of this state as well as from the fresh air of Colorado. Ii is true that the air of certain states is dryer and the climate more agreeable, but if you live according to rule here YOU can get the best out of fresh air and work toward a cure
 If you want to know more about this. or if you want to save others from becoming tubercular, write the Arkansas Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, City Hall, Little Rock.

MORE OATS FOR ARKANSAS.

This last year was a bad one for oats and some farmers seem just a trifle discouraged about the oat crop for this state. It is not wise to drop a crop because of one failure but rather to learn from the failure. It is the opinion of the county agents or the fifty-two counties that have agents that oats must be considered a good crop for Arkansas. In the first place the farmer can have a good market for the grain right in his own stable. He will have good market for the straw in the same place. Straw IS rated as having a value of about S2.oO simply as a fertilizer plowed under. When used as bedding for stock to absorb the liquid eXcrement and as means of saving the solid eXcrement it can easily have value of $4Oo ten. Then after oats plant cowpeaS and it is easy to find a good return from the field for the year. After peas the field may be seeded again to wheat or rye or oats for winter pas ture and cover crop. Oats should be considered a profitable regular crop for most Arkansas farmers.

results which are likely to follow in the way of serious shortage of labor in parts of the South.
 The strict enforcement of present laws and ordinances and the enact ment of still more stringent regula- tions are proposed in the places threatened with labor depletion. It is declared that the invading agents have inspired the negroes with a sort of frenzy for work in new fields, in spite of the fact that negro laborers from the far South almost invariably find that they are unsuited for the rig ors of winter in the North.

PASTED PARAGRAPHS.
I SAW HER.

one wore the most expensive hose, And shoes to match the color red; Her hair was bound by one of those Quaint caps that snugly fit the head Her suit was silk and finely wove. And well became her figure trim. Yet greater wonder; when she dove l learned that she could also swim.
 Detroit Free Press. 1 saw her in a movie film, A creature with an angels face, A pretty form, divinely slim, And movements of eXpisite grace. She wore a most exquisite gown, With things to match from shoes to hat;
 And not a woman in the town But cnvied her-you bet on that. She was, to make it brief, a pearl; Just get your mind around that fact But greater wonder, this here girl Although a movie star-could act.
 Springfield Union. saw her in kitchenette, And she had been bride since June About her condiments were set, And she stirred something with a
 spoon. Fair was she, and divinely plump, And her red lips were cupid bows; Her chin was like a sugar lump, Her cheeks the color of the rose. There was a dimple in her arm, I paused to take another look At this young bride so full of charm Who-strange to chronicle-could
 cook.
 Houston Post. saw her step upon the stage, And thought she was divinely fair; \ creature who'd be quite the rage If she resided anywhere. No bathing beauty on the sand Fer had more bewitching face; She held some music in her hand And struck a pose of wondrous
 grace. And then she opened her lovely mouth And warbled words about the spring And perfumed winds blown from the
 south
 And, strange to say, that girl could
 sing.
 Birmingham Age-Herald. saw her in an auto wreck, The other chauffeur didn't care" Upon her words she put no check, And goodness!-how that girl
