house in his town on last Satur- day 75 bushels of crimson clover seed and reports of need of as much more. In another county 5000 hogs have been vaccinated in ten months by the county agent. and in an adjoining coun- ty without any agent 5000 hogs have dled from cholera in seven months. Thirteen cars of pure
 bred cattle, mostly bulls, have been brought into Arkansas since February, 1916, all of them in counties with agricultural agents.
 Not car of pure bred cattle has been brought into any county that is without a county agent. The county agricultural agent is the only employe of the county who is constantly at work for the farmers and for agriculture.

A Good Pasture.

A farmer near Forrest City has a 12 acre permanent pasture on which he pastured fir o m April 1, 1915 to Octo b e r 15, 1915, 50 cows, 5 horses and 12 sows m d t h e l r pigs. This is one of the great est pasture reports ever sent to the Extension Office of the Uni versity of Arkansas and U. $. Department of Agriculture at Little Rock. This statement was verified by many neighbors. The pasture has Bermuda grass for its base with bur clover, white clover, hop clover and Lespodoza, thus giving pasture for practically the whole year. Stock had been kept on this par ticular pasture every day for seven years. The farmer stated in a public meeting recently that these 12 acres had produced more money for him than any 30 acres on his form.

Perhaps broiled lizard will never find it's way to the menu cards of fashionable New York restaurants. but the United States marines attached to the American Legation at Managua, Nicaragua, have found, as en- trements to the lotus, fried or broiled iguana steaks, served with a pastry sauce made from alligator pears, to be everything claimed by the native epicures.
 The iguana, or giant lizard, has been used for food by the natives for many years, and iguana steak finds much favor with them because of it's gamey taste. The iguana is erbivor- ouS.

War, the Glutton.

Thousands of men. women and children are starving in Poland. American relief agencies, capa- ble of offering help second not even to that given Belgium, must stand aside and watch starva- tion end the work that cannon began.
 Why?
 Because England and Germany can't agree on terms. England demands that before relief is given, Germany guarantee that no native food shall be taken by the Teutonic armies now occupy ing Polish territory. Germany brands this condition as imprac- ticable.
 Arguments apparently have failed.
 One fact remains that war is a glutton. feeding itself an d its armies though all the world starve, possessed of such eager ness to starve its enemy that to accomplish this it will starve a friend.

The committee which is in i'm. mediate charge of the campaign being carried on in behalf ot Amendment 12 attributes the in creasing popularity of this meas. ure largely to the publicity being given it by the press of the state. There is hardly a newspaper in Arkansas which has not shown a highly generous spirit in cooper ating with the committee.

Never before, perhaps, in the history of Arkansas has any piece of proposed legislation re ceived such solid endorsement as that accorded Amendment No. l2. It has been approved by the bankers. editors. churches, lumber men. Federation of La bor. Farmers Union, sc h % teachers and directors. and in- numeraole civic and political or. ganizations.

Since Ed J. Higgins has been at the helm of the Branch News that paper has developed into a real live, neat and newsy paper. The News now ranks among the best country papers in this sec tion of the state and is a mighty good advertisement for the town of Branch. Any neat, live news paper advertises its town to a good advantage while the poorly gotten up and shabby looking newspaper operates to the re. verse.

A preacher at Oklahoma City recently told his hearers to avoid making enemies. We'll. maybe that advice is all right. Did you ever see a man without enemies who was worth a continental ? In the course of human events you are sure to make them. There is no way to avoid it. The man without enemies is back number, a misfit and a molly coddle. and will never get three feet from tn e starting point. We've got enemies and know it, but we go on just as though they did not exist. This is a big world and there is room for us all, be we friend or foe.

Do We Need a Night Watch?

What about a night watch for Ozark during these dry times when tiny spark might ignite a whole block of buildings Wouldn't it be a good investment to employ one?

The Christmas dancing season for
the young society people would be
desperately dull were it not for the
party planned by the members of the
Tivoli and Varsity clubs and the high
school set, to be given Wednesday
evening, January 8. at Kellam hall
Since the deadly blows that have been
struck at the high school fraternities
have sort of put them out of the run
ming in the matter of holiday enter
tanning, at least, the Christmas season
for the young people is not what it
used to be, and the combination
party for the third of January will
do it's best to replace those dead and
gone gayeties. The young set is look

A few days before the last primary,
the wife of a candidate for a state Of

merchant and fixed her eye on
The price was little higher than she
had expected to pay; so she said that
she would wait until after the pri-
maries, and if her husband was nomi-
mated she would feel safe in buying
the sweeper, since his election was
pretty sure to follow the nomination.
The same day man called at the
store and saw the same sweeper. He
was clerk to the man now holding the
office the other man aspired to. IF
you can hold that sweeper for me-"
he said. until after the primaries, I
think I can buy it. If the boss is

agreed to keep the sweeper, since he
knew he had the deal cinched, coming
and going. One of the two office
hunters was sure to be nominated,
and so the obliging store keeper made
two reservations on the same article,
and marked it sold.

The men who finance the dancing
clubs have their own troubles. it
seems, since there are always a few
who want to dance without paying the
fiddler. 1t is being whispered among
those who dance with an exclusive
club of the young crowd. that it will
be advisable for the debutantes who
expect to attend a Christmas party to
be given by the club, to find out, as
automatically as they may, of course,
whether or not the dues of those who
have asked to be their escorts, are
paid. A little oversight in that regard
might lead to some embarrassme for
both escort and escorted.
