4 little Book That Contains Soma
 Startling information.
 A little book selling at only i've cents. postpaid. Is having very wide circulation-running up into the mil lions. It contains some very startling information respecting the meaning of the word Hell It claims to demon strate. both from the Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible. that Hell is NOT a place of eternal torment, but merely another name for the TOMB. the CRAVE. the STATE OF DEATH. It affects to show that man was not re- deemed from far-off place of eternal torture. but quotes the Scriptures prov ing that he was REDEEMED from the GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer's LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope. both for the Church and the World. Is resurrection hope based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book Is certainly worth the reading The information it furnishes Is cer- tainly valuable. far beyond it's trihing cost Order it at once from the Bible and Tract Society. fl Htckr Street Brooklyn, N.

Newspaper Men Are Kind.

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 In many respects newspaper men are the kindest and sweetest men on earth. In every town there are men who do not like the newspaper men and yet year after year these news paper men go on their own way be- ing kind to their critics. In no oth- CT line of business is so much over looked. Possibly it is because the newspaper man has more opportun- ities to see the frailty of his fellows than any other man. He comes in contact with so many. sees their weaknesses so prominently diss- played that he becomes kind thru sympathy.

GROWING ANIMALS ON THE
 FARM
No. 2, Sheep and Goat Raising. ny h. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Ami nal Husbandry. University

SSP anu Soat Haisin0. By h. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Ami.
 nal Husbandry, University
 of Arkansas
 A recent report from the Bureau or Animal Industry of the U. s. De apartment of Agriculture shows that the sheep industry has been on the decline during the last few years. The prices paid for mutton lambs on the markets during the last two years would indicate that such must be the case Fat lambs have been selling around l2 cents per pound this year. ana the demand seems to be greater tnan the supply Wool also shows an increase over prices of say, two years sso' We also find that goats shipped rom the Southwest to Kansas City nave found ready sale as mutton at rair prices where they reached the market in good condition. It would seem that an increase in production or both sheep and goats might well come from the South and the South. west.
 Ine sheep is serving it's best purpose as sort of scavenger on the farm keeping down weeds in pastures and on the farm in general IL is not uncommon to see we'll established pas lures put under cultivation here in Ar. kansas for no other reason than that noxious weeds had become so well established that the more desirable grasses were crowded out. A few sneep would have saved such pasture ana made mutton and wool in doing so' The goat, on the other hand, is at US best among the brush and oriars with which our Ozark hills are aoundantly covered. Whether one wishes to put such land under cultiva, tion or into permanent pasture, the nrst problem is the removal of the underbrush.
 while the sheep is generally con. sloered as a scavanger it is not best eo treat 1t as such and make 1t depend upon what it can find in the way of weeds for living.
 A few sheep will serve the triple purpose of keeping the farm clean of weeds, furnish mutton, WRich is one of the best sources or meat supply for summer use, ana produces a fleece which at present prices should show a neat sum as a clear profit The mutton value of the sheep would easily cover cost Of production. Fall lambs for the Christmas trade are possible In enis climate and their production would add to profits.
 The goat. especially the Angora, is essentially browser. although after oeing used for time on brush it has been found that they gradually take .o grass and neglect sprouts. Where IS the desire to brush the land goats snoaid be used instead of sheep. coats which have not been used too iong for such purposes should be se- ieeted as they have proven more de-
