ABOUT ERRORS.

There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.
 It is only an error of judgment to make a mistake, but it argues an infrmity of character to ad- here to it when discovered. The Chinese say, 'The glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall. ;"
 To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the flu ture. Sometimes we may learn more from a mans errors, than from his virtues.
The Spectator., 1916-05-09
ROOT CROPS AND PUMPKINS.

In the campaign for stock. farmers should not neglect the root crops and the pumpkins. A farmer near Warren had over 800 bushels of turnips last year from single acre of rich land. Every farmer who has even one COW should have a patch of man. gel wurzels or turnips or carrots and he should not fail to plant a few pumpkin seeds in his corn or along waste patches. A pumpkin a day may keep the sheriff away. The Extension Service of the Arkansas College of Agriculture is advocating tht growing of root crops and pump kins to supplement the othel feed crops and then
 The pumpkin pies!
The Spectator., 1916-05-09
DOUBLE CROPS.

Two crops of Irish potatoes from every patch, corn and peas, corn and soy beans, corn and velvet beans, and cotton and crimson clover, will be great combination this year. Plant rape after the last cultivation for hogs, corn and peanuts and corn and rape with hogs running to both patches or fields. It may not make real hard meat but it will make mighty cheap meat. Let us make great campaign this year for peas, soy beans and peanuts in every acre of corn and then crimson clover or rye in every acre of cotton.
The Spectator., 1916-05-09
EDITORIAL COMMENT
THROWING STONES.

In the long ago in the Judean country party was brought to the only perfect judge the world has even known, accused of sin, taken in the act, the Good Book says. The scribes and Pharisees said the party should be stoned. The good judge suggested that the one without sin cast the first stone. The narrative goes on to say that there were no stones thrown that day. The race has changed since that time and one is lead to believe that it is trying to make up for lost time. A person does not have to misstep in these days just let the appear ance of evil show and the rock pile begins to move. The ques- tion of guilt or innocence is an after consideration. Throw the stones first seems to be the or der and consider later on. Too many of us are not busy enough attending to our own business and therefore have time enough to throw stones at our neighbor who may be just as guiltless as we. It would be well for us to know that our neighbor IS at fault before we begin throwing stones, and even then it is much better to let the stones alone.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby de- stroying the foundation of the disease. giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na- ture in doing its work. The proprie- tors have so much faith in the curative powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
