HOLY WEEK oBsHzRvANcEs.

Formerly Holy Week was little nos ticed outside of the Roman Cath olic and Episcopal churches. Other re- ligious bodies were fearful of annfvers- aries and occasions which seemed to them contrary to the simplicity of their faith.
 But there are few churches that do not observe this occasion. It serves it's purpose, in bringing closer to the world the persona1ity of Jesus. As his words and acts for the last fatefuI seven days are studied, he ceases to be mere historical character. He becomes the representative of divinity. tne herald Of a. new day of faith and enlightenment and hope. with some personal message for every human soul

 And none to love me on the earth ''
 It is not when life is youAg that the average youth appreciates home. The average young man of twenty or thereabouts feels like a caged bird if for any reason he is required to re- main home after he has risen from the dinner table. He scarcely knows what to do with himself
 When he does start out of an even ing more often than not he has no particular place to go. His theory is in the four walls of home. He meets the young fellows he chums with on street corners. Such youths have not reached the age and dignity of being club members. In punches. they drift hither and thither wherever their fan cy wills. One evening they take in a show. Anot1szr night, they go to see a boxing match. On another to a five mile walking stunt. Take some pretty girl to a dance the following night; play checkers or cards the next.
 They try to get up as much enthu- siasm among their number as the young women do over their bridge parties. There's not a night in the week that they do not go in for some sport. They would not be averse to taking long outings Sunday evenings if stern parents did not insist. upon their accompanying them to church. The bohemian life a number of them lead deters such young men from con- templating marriage and having a. home of their own.
 From 20 to 30, with this class of men, life fits on like a dream. Their sis ters wed and there's a spare bedroom in the house. That's al the difference they note. Mother is always sitting up waiting, no matter how late it is, when they turn the 1atchkey in the lfIO Tho 1~On1xy 1nfio hat ha1. hair is turning from brown to silver gray and that wrinkles have usurped the comeliness of her face. They do ont know of the anxiety concerning their future which brought those wrin- kles.
 The youth who finds home irkso1ne evolves into the man with taste for roaming. He is never satisfied until he has pushed out into the world for himself, seeking new fields. It is not until; he has a decade of years of hard struggling among unsympathetic stran- gers that he begins to appreciate the dear. home that he thought so little of in his younger days. Strangers are civil 1to him when he pays his way. Icy have no mercy on his pocketbook If loss of position befalIs him, or i1l- ness comes to him he is quickly made to realize that his room is better than his company so far as they are con. cerned. If he breaks an ankle disIo- actes his wrist, boils come on his neck or he suffers the torture of lumbago or teeth pains, they are not slow to let him understand that the hospital is the best place for him, not a boarding place.
 When aff1ictions beset a man how his thoughts and yearnings will turn to the dearest spot on earth-hone, sweet home! People wonder why con frmed bachelors are induced to wed. The reason is apparent. They have seen the need of having. some one to love them and of having a home, be- ing tenderly care% for The older a. man grows the more hold home and dear ones has upon him.

WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

R. c. J. writes: q was introduced to a, nice girl, whom fell in love with during a short vacation. She prom ised to write. Last letter from her was dated over a month ago. In it, she told me she certainly would send me her photograph. Have received no answer since. Should I give up hopes of hearing from her again? I know she truly cares for me. Ought to write and ask an exp1anatfon7 7''
 That would not cause her to regard you as highly as if you wrote a very pleasant, bright letter to her. Last re- hinder may be: Received no pho tograph.'' Those not engaged cannot assert authority without loss of love -cftttzueG.

 WON FAIR LADY

B. S. writes: "A pretty young lady escorted with chiva1ry two months. was deeply devoted to her. Another goes with her now. She is to quit me just for this reason. She does not know his character as do. What is the best attitude for me to take? Do not like to think she may come to a, sorry end if I can ward it off.''
 You may not have engaged her at tent1on by heartfelt talks. Another may conclude she is free to woo and win. Seek to gain her favor, if possi- ble, without delay

Why Kansas Likes Prohibition.

From William Allen Whites story of how Kansas "swore off, and of why the ''swear-off sticks" in the Saturday Evening Post, we cull the following facts
 Kansas consumes per capita per annum 1.25 worth of liquor for all purposes, as against the average American consumption of liquor $21 a head. Forty eight of Kansas one hundred and five counties did not send prisoner to the penitentiary last year. Eighty-seven counties did not send an insane patient to the asylums. In fourteen counties no jury has been called in ten years to try a criminal case.
 Fifty-three counties have empty jails. Thirty -eignt coun- ties have empty poor-houses. The Kansas death rate is seven and one half per thousand, the second lowest in America.
 Bank deposits have increased in ten years from $100, 900, 900, to $220, 900, 900.
 The average holding of taxable property is $l, ,666. 92, the largest in America.
 Kansas has decreased its State debt faster than any other State.
 It has over eight thousand students in colleges and in other educational institutions above the high school grade, more ac- cording to population than any other state.

War off American Coast.

The war has been brought close to America by submarines of the German navy which sank six ships off the eastern coast of the United States in an at tempt to blocade the ports of this country to prevent supplies from reaching the allies.
 Four British steamers, one Dutch and one Norwegian were sunk.
 The vessels were loaded with supplies for the allies, except the Dutch steamer which car ried a cargo consigned to the Netherlands government. This ship was valued at $l, 800, 900. The government of the Neither lands will protest to the Ger man government and demand damages.
 A United States steamer, the Kansan, bound to Geneva, Italy, with steel for the Italian govern ment, was held up but released when its nationality was learn ed and allowed to go on it's voy- age.
 The sinking of ships so near our coasts caused great slump in the cotton market.
 No lives were lost so far as learned, American destroyers being rushed to the scene and picking up the crews and pas sengerS.

to all other crops for summer grazing. Peanuts lower the cost of pork production on ac- count of their fattening qualities but corn or other grain must be used with them to harden the meat. Soft pork is no objection if the meat is intended for home use, but where the hogs are to be sent to packing houses, it is a serious objection.
 MT. Hill raises pork for his family and help, the surplus going to market. Can you get more in return for an expen- allure of $95 than the value of 3,500 pounds of pork? Do any of your staple crops bring you a greater return than this? Bet ter breeding and better feeding in hog-raising would soon in- crease the >hog-raising industry, and put the growing of staple crops where they belong, in the second class in Arkansas.
 MT. Hill is not the first man to demonstrate the practicability of cheap pork production in the south. In tests made in Ala bama it was found that in food value one acre of good peanuts was equal to 57 bushels of corn in fattening hogs. In Arkansas it was found that an acre of pea nuts produced nearly three times the amount of gain per acre of corn would.
 While the gains made on an acre of peanuts may have been exceptionally high, it shows the important place this crop can occupy in economical hog feed ing. It also enables one to see the superiority of peanuts over corn in making gains. Another advantage that should be con- sidered, since it is an important one in farm management, is the increased fertility of the soil on the land that grew the peanuts.
 When we all begin to grow a few acres of peanuts, cowpeas, sorghum, clover. etc., for hog pasture and cease depending on expensive corn for feed, that soon will production become profitable in Arkansas generally. Arkansas Homestead

Conscript Wealth to Pay
 Cost of War

'
 The Trades Union Congress of the British Isles at the annual meeting last week unanimously adopted a resolution favoring the conscription of the large fortunes of England to pay the cost of the war.
 This resolution is especially in. teresting because of the fact that the enormous cost of the war has caused large part of neutral nations to wonder if it will ever be possible for the warning nations to pay their debts, and if the vast sums due the subjects at least part of the nations engaged will be repudiat- ed.
 The Trades Union Congress, which represents over 5000, 900 organized workers, thinks that as the working people are giving their lives to the nation the veal thy people should give the mon- ey. They claim that 90 percent of the soldiers are working men, and the men and women of the working class are manufacturing guns and shells for the army and growing troops to feed the nation. Believing that they are doing their full duty to their coun- try during the war they think they should not be taxed for years to come in orderto pay the debts of the nation, while the rich live at ease on wealth they have accumulated on the profits made on manufacturing material to carry on the war.
 | This will be a live question
 throughout Europe after the war, and if the working men. who are more powerful in Europe than in America, succeed in making the Kruffs. Armstrongs and
 other great manufactures give
 up their vast war profits it will , be the longest step toward pre- venting future wars ever taken.

Negroes Bolt State Ticket.

The negroes of the state are at sea with reference to their po- litical allegiance. They have declared in convention that they do not consider themselves obli- gated to support Wallace Town send, the Republican nominee for Governor, and the leaders say that very few will vote for him. It would be a radical change in policy to support the Democratic nominee, and yet that is what the leaders say thousands of them will do.
 There was an effort to arouse sufficient interest to put up the name of some prominent negro as their own candidate for Gov ernor. ScipiO Jones of Little Rock and a Helena negro were prominently mentioned, but their political ambitions could not be worked up to the sticking point. and last Saturday, the last day for the certification of candidates passed without any action being taken.

Too Proud to Beg

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. Too proud to beg, and finding himself on the verge of starva- tion because of the impoverish ment of, his noble family in Europe, Count Franz LaZarinni, a remittance man well known in Central America, went to a jungle near here and kept him self alive for five months by eating monkey flesh, and roots and berries.
 A party of United States ma rines while on a big game hunt ing expedition discovered the titled foreigner and brought him back to the capital.
 The Count, half starved and nearly mad because of privations he had suffered, fought his res cuers and begged them to let him remain in the jungle. The marines overpowered him how ever, and are now attempting to nurse him back to health and reason at their commodious barracks in the American lega- tion.
