CONCRETE ON THE FARM.

The use of concrete on the farm is a development of recent years. It is now used in the construction of every thing from pits to silos. Even fence posts are being made of concrete.
 Of course, the use of concrete is not yet universal on American farms any more than the use of tractors is uni versal, or that every farmer operates an automobile. But the value of con- crete is being recognized. It's adapt ability and lasting qualities are beyond question.
 Wood is getting more scarce every year, and higher in price. It's cheap ness used to be it's strong point; and with this gone, there is little wonder that better material is being sought.
 The use of concrete is noticeable in Arkansas. Bridges, buildings and pits have been constructed of concrete, and silos of concrete appear to be in the majority. As in all other things, Arkansas farmers have not been slow to grasp an opportunity for substan- tial improvement.

Amendment No. 12 is measure which people of every political faith and interest can consistently support. Democrats, Republicans, Socialists and single-taxers will alike benefit by it's adoption. It will insure ample cd ucational facilities for children whose parents are unable to sen dthem away to school, and the stimulation of prop erty values will more than offset the nominal increase in the tax rate

COMMUNITY ENTERPRISES.

This time of year scarcely commu nifty that is not preparing to enjoy some special event during the sum- mer. Opportunities are boundless; it merely needs enterprise and energy to put on an event that will be topic of conversation throughout the entire district.
 For instance, there is the choice of Farmers Day, Pioneers Day, Schools Day, Merchants Day and Chautauaua.
 Surely nice assortment from which to make a selection!
 These special days are of recent vintage. In the old days they were of rare occurrence-nobody thought them worth while. There was no com munity spirit, no community pride that went beyond rootingg for the home baseball team.
 Conditions and circumstances have changed. Now it is a case of whet- ting interest in the home town. If this isn't done it will react on it's prosper ity in several important ways. If res dents are made to feel that their presence in town is appreciated, that once in a while they are to be treated as guests, when nothing is too good for them, there is more likely to be that cooperative spirit that makes for "real live town."
 Man and woman is sociable ami mai. If he doesn't get much socia- bility in his home town, no opportu- nity for intellectual improvement and entertainment he will attempt to get it elsewhere. The same is true of the farm. Lack of social intercourse that farm loneliness that writers used to refer to so frequently-inevit- ably leads to dissatisfaction and has been the prime cause of the erstwhile "away- from the farm" movement.

The common cottontail of Kan
sas is often called a rabbit, bnt
is neither a rabbit nor a hare,
according to L. R. Dice, instruct
or in zoology in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Several species of cottoutails
are native to this country, land
when the English settlers came
to America they called them rab-
bits on account of their resem-
blance to the true English rab-
bit," says Mr.. Dice.
In England there are rabbits
and hares of several types. The
socalled Belgian hare is not a
hare but merely a domesticate d
variety of English rabbit. One
difference between the hare and
the rabbit is that at birth the
hare is fully covered with hair
and able to run about, while the
rabbit is naked and helpless.
