Many People Dug up Piece Of Smoked
Glass and Gazed Intently at
Free Show In the
Sky.
LASTED FOR TWO HOURS
Sun Was Seen to Enter Shadow al
e:15 and Emerged From il at II
o'cIock-Was Only Par
TALLY ciouded.

The big show which was visible In
heokuk was puiied off on schedule
time this morning, but proved some
thing of disappointment to people
who expected that there would be
more of demonstration. Smoked
glass was in demand, and with the
aid of this the sun could be seen en-
terlng the shadow. Ahe sun was in
total eclipse in some parts of the
world, but in North America, it was
only partial dimming OF its light.
The sun went into lie shadow at
the schedule time, 9:15, and emerged
from 1t close to IL o'clock. It seemed
that only the very lowest segment of
the sun was affected. The shadow
passed from west to east over. the
sun. q 1t appeared as a little round
spot, black as ink, crossing the bright
globe. It was observed at its best be-
tween 9:45 and 10 o'clock when the
shadow was more nearly across the
center Of the sun. At no time did the
shadow show above the very bottom
rim of the sun.
The effect was more like that of a
f1lmy cloud passing over the sun, so
far as earth beings were concerned.
The sunlight seemed to become bit
dim at. the height of the eclipse
1t was in the summer of 1869 that
there was total eclipse of the sun
here. This was during the building
of the old Des Moines rapids canal,
and recalled by many people, as
the time when the men working on
the canal quit work and FASTENED
home, many of them believing the
world was coming to an end. Chick

REDUCING COST OF FAILURES

Farming las not been reduced to an exact science like many other busi- nosses. consequently one who sue c.eds at farming must of necessity hc versatile. A successful farmer must know more than how to grow crops. He must know how to market the products of the farm.
 The business of farming requires knowledge of plant life soil manage ment. livestock raising and many other things, each sufficient within itself to occupy the attention of a master mind. Successful farm man. agement depends upon business acu- men as well as farm practice with knowledge of plants and animals,
 Business men who have mastered one line or one kind of business by hard work and close application are apt to think that farming is easy and its requirements far less than it is They are apt to censure those who have had no training for farming, but who are required to "labor and to wait" under many difficulties.
 The time has come when farmers may find information that will help save mistakes and reduce the. years of experience required to master the many principles of progressive farm ing. Thefact that successful farming is dependent upon so many factors makes it all the more important to seek information and thus learn how to avoid failures and reduce the eX- pense of experience.
 It would probably help us if we would confess humbly that we do not know how to farm. We could at least put the world on notice that we need information of the usable kind. The advisers" might not be able to "give advice," but they might direct us to the information. This is what the farm paper does. It gives informa- tion in practical experience.-Farm and Ranch.

DIVERSITY IN INDUSTRY
 IN SOL I'll AND SOUTHWEST

Reports to the Manufacturers Re cord for the week show wide diversity in industrial developments in the South and Southwest In every uirec- iion business activity is improving, although il ma " cases hampered by inability to secure machinery or goods ordered. In some cases this is due t. overcrowded condition of manufac- turing enterprises, especially in the North and West, and in some cases delays are due to the inability of rail roads to handle traffic promptly The announcement from the Interstate Commerce Commission that the Southern Railway has been author ized to make export freight rates to Charleston on a parity with rates now prevailing to Baltimore and Norfolk promises to mark a revolution in the development of foreign trade through Charleston, and at the same time re- suit in stimulating foreign bushes through all Southern ports. The con gestion of traffic at Eastern ports and the overcrowded condition of railroads in the handling of business from the West to the East can only be ade- quately met by turning much of this traffic from the West through South Atlantic and Gulf ports. The move ment by the Southern Railway look ing to the development of this traffic through Charleston should mark the beginning of a great increase in for eign trade through all Southern ports.
 The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railway, which has been responsible for the organization of many new lines of industries in Tennessee and Carolina, now reports that arrange ments have been concluded for the establishment at Erwin, Tenn, of a seVen-kiln pottery for manufacturing tableware, using as raw material feldspar and flint from that section, and clay from North Carolina. It is believed that this will be followed by the establishment of other pottery in- dustries in that section, and possibly in other parts of the South where the raw materials are found in such great abundance.
 George R. Wright, president of the Louisiana Fiber Board Co.,, Bogalusa La, and associates are proposing to build at Hattiesburg, Miss, a plant to manufacture box fiber and paper boxes at reported investment, if plans are matured, of from $750,000 to $1,000,000.

BUY A CANNER.

Three thousand enthusiastic Ar kansas girls and a thousand farm
 women are enrolled with the EXten- sion Service of the University of Ar. kansas and the U. s. Department of Agriculture this year in canning con-
 tests. They are going to can enough
 tomatoes and beans and other things
 to feed a multitude But why not
 on every farm? This is the year of
 preparedness and every farm house
 in the state should have this fall a cellar full of canned goods for the
 family. Don't think it is your duty to support the town grocer by buying from him a supply of Michigan toma-
 toes and peaches. Let him buy your surplus cans of garden stuff or trade Icoffee and sugar for it. Almost every thing can be canned, tomatoes, beans,
 beets, corn, peaches, strawberries, sausage, beef, in fact about every thing that can be grown. Make a home canner of old tubs or buy one of the three fine canners made in the state. For bulletins and information labout canning write Extension Ser vice, University of Arkansas and U. IS. Department of Agriculture, Little Rock.
