TELEPHONE TALK

Two ladies were talking the other day and in some way the telephone subject came under discussion. They both had party line telephones. One of the ladies was telling about how mean some body in her neigh borhood is. To use her own language, the somebody will
 talk to some other fool for half an hour and never say anything either, and here 1 will be nearly wild to order things for dinner or tell Tom what l want him to fetch home. Are you bothered that way? The other repli6 q: T used to be, but Pm not any mora, A friend of mine told me how to put on a choker and I will tell you.

ALFALFA AND SWEET GLOVER

These are two valuable crops for Arkansas and the acreage should be greatly increased. These require we'll drained soil and neither will do we'll in acid soils. Both require a good seed bed. The preparation should begin early and the seeding may oe done from August 15 to October. If alfalfa is to follow oats or wheat the land should nave covering of manure and this plowed under before the 1st of August and the land well worked and not seeded for at
 east four weeks. If the land is not to be manured it may be bet ter to disc it thoroughly immedi- ataly after the grain is cut and keep it well worked but not blow it at all. Always seed af- ter a rain when the ground is
 moist. Do not seed alfalfa or
 sweet clover on very poor land, Work it up with peas, beans and Lespedeza for a few years
 If alfalfa or sweet clover is to follow cowpeas. disc the ground right after cutting the peas and harrow but do not blow. Never seed alfalfa in freshly plowed ground. It should have four weeks in which to get firm seed bed. Write Extension Di- vision, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville or Little Rock, for bulletins and suggestions, or see the county agent.

CRIMSON GLOVER

Arkansas farmers will plant more peas, beans and peanuts in corn this year than eyer before. So much for enriching the corn ground and getting feed for pigs and cows. Next we must push for crimson clover in the cotton fields. Let every farmer in Arkansas set his mind on five or more acres of crimson clover this year or at least one fourth of this cotton acreage. Then it will pay to SOW rye or oats in all the rest of the cotton acres for a winter cover crop. The Extension Service of the University of Arkansas and the United States Department of Agriculture is starting on cam paign for more green fields next winter. Fifty-nine of the best county Agricultural agents in America are working in Ark ansas for winter cover crops and double crops, peas. beans and peanuts in corn and crimson clo- yer and rye or oats in the cotton and no bare fields next winter. Write Director Cooperative Service, Old State House, Little Rock if there is no county agent in the county.

WHAT AFTER WHEAT?

Every man who grows wheat in Arkansas wants peas or early SOybeans, or one of these crops with sorghum on the land after the grain crop is taken off. But many an acre grows up Tn weeds because of failure to get these crops in. Why? By har- vesting time the wheat or oats land has been tightly packed by the winter and spring rains. Much moisture is needed to ma ture the grain crop and the soiI therefore is usually quite hard even when the grain is cut. As soon as the protective crop is taken off the soil dries very rap idly and is soon too hard to blow
 REMEDY: At the time of harvesting set shocks in rows and have the disk harrow follow right behind the shockers that day if possible or not later than next day. The harrow breaks the surface crust. stops the rapid drying out, causes the moisture coming from below to stop near the surface. and results in soften ing the land, which in a few days time or as soon as the shocks can be hauled out will be in good condition for breaking or disking again. Seed to cow peas or early soybeans, or either of these and sorghum. Don't wait for rain which may come too late.

HOW TO GET ON IN THE WORLD

Most of our successful men be- gan life without a dollar. They have won success by hard work and strict honesty. You do the same. Here are rules for getting on in the world:
 1. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes one rich, and when it does, riches are a curse.
 2. Work. The world is not going to pay for nothing. Ninety per cent ot what men call talent is only a talent for hard work.
 3. Enter into that business or trade you like best, and for which nature seems 10 have iittad you, providing it is honorable.
 1. Be independent. Do not lean on others to do your thinking or to conquer difficulties.
 ,. Be conscientious in the dis. charge of every duty. Do your work thoroughly No one can rise who sights his work.
 6. Don't try to begin on top.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Members Of the Gen.
trail Presbyterian Church Upon the
Resignation of Their Pastor.
Rev. II. Kerr Taylor.

Never, perhaps, in the history of our
little city, has the relationship between
pastor and people been more sorrow
fully and reluctantly severed, than yes
torday morning at the Central Presby-
terrain Church when the young pastor
Rev. II. Kerr Taylor, requested that
the congregation unite with him in
asking Presbytery for his release to go
to- China.
Although his stay here has been
brief, he will never be forgotten by the
people to whom he has ministered. In
their memory, he will live as one who
has kept close to the Master; gaining
from Him much of His power and at
traction; in their hearts, as one who
has learned His love and impaired it,
winning all who have come to know
him, In return.
At the congregational meeting APP
preciative resolutions were adopted.
Other transactions at this time were
the election of Mr.. J. Condit Stevenson
as an elder and Mr.. James b. Ross as
a deacon.
Mr.. Taylor will remain with the Cen
trail Church until after the seventeenth
o. this month.

GEORGE {. COLBY
Famous CartOOnist VIII Appear on the
Local Stage ON Next Monday Night
In the High School Building
Draws Remarkable
Pictures.

Mr.. Colby, the cartoonist, VINO will
appear in the Maysville High School
auditorium tonight in appearance is
almost the living image of the immor-
tai Bill Nye. AS he talks to his au-
dicnce he transfers a variety of con-
eptions from his imaginative brain to
.hs concrete form of crayon pictures
Some of his pictures are amusing
some, such as his landscape scenes,
are as beautiful as paintings. Many
corridors and classrooms in public
school buildings in Chicago are orna-
mented with large crayon pictures that
are souvenirs of George f. Colby's
popular entertainment New Ideas In
Crayon."
The Chicago Tribune in speaking OF
Colby says that he is remarkable for
combining in his treatment strength,
sentiment, delicacy and a namless
charm. The Chicago News says, "Mr.
Colby's talks are full of surprises, and
one marvels at the sudden appearance
of pictures both beautiful and comic as
they come out of a mass of color and
lines"
The most effective transformation
that is attempted by Mr.. Colby is that
embodying the arousing of Mount
Nesuvius from slumber to rage. He
draws in colors of crayon illustrations
Of the famous mountain as viewed
across the beautiful bay of Naples,
the artist darkens the sky with a
sudden brush of black smoke from the
crater This addition to the scene Is
quickly followed by the issuance of
a stream of fire and lava. which pours
over the bowl Of the crater and down
the mountain side. The picture is rap
idly altered to display volcanic fire
lighting IN a cloudy sky and being re-
Elected In the waters of the bay.

REGISTRATION PICNIC At
SOUTH UNION A SUCCESS
Many Voters of Precinct Register and
Sign PetitiOns-GOOd
Program.

Despite the threatening weather
last Thursday morning, the day
chosen for a general registration by
the peopel of South Union precinct,
a goodly assemblage gathered to reg
lister and to sign the initiative petit
tions, which were on hand for that
purpose, and Mrs. Randall, the regis
tration clerk for the precinct, was
kept busy from early morning until
late in the afternoon adding new
names to the rolls.
A sumptuous dinner was served in
the church at noon, after which some
time was spent in singing patriotic
songs and other airs, and then Rev.
D. A. Thompson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church Of Olympia, gave
an interesting talk on direct Legis-
lation." with special reference to the
prohibition movement. He paid a
glowing tribute to woman's influence
in political matters. Mrs. A. E. Shell
don then made a few remarks regard
ing the possibilities of improving gen.
eral conditions through the law-mak-
ing power in the hands of the people.
Taken as a whole, this first at
tempt to make holiday of registra-
tion," says one of those instrument
tai in it, may we'll be counted a COM
plete success, socially, intellectually
and patriotically, and it is to be hoped
that other precincts will go and do
likewise
