On South College avenue at the c.,
B. & @. railroad crossing, about s
O'Clock Saturday night, an auto be-
longing to Frank Whan of Burgess
and which was being driven by his son
Lawrence, was struck by the special
train which had arrived with fair ma
terial from Kewanee, and was totally
demolished. The train was backing
up when it hit the auto, and the ap-
prOach was not noticed by young Whan
because of the c. B. Barr storehouse,
which stood as an obstacle on the
right hand side of the street as the
auto approached from the north. AL
though the gateman was at his post,
the signal gates were not down. The
rear end OF the train caught the new
machine at the front end and pushed
it off the pavement at the left hand
side, striking the ties at that place.
Several of these were torn up. Whan
was able to jump from the machine
and so saved himself from probable
death The auto, which had been own
ed but about six weeks by Mr. Whan,
was total wreck All four wheels of
the machine were crushed, while the
body was rendered unrepairable. The
engine was the only part Of the auto
which was uninjured, it being left
practically intact Why the crossing
gates were not closed at the time of
the accident is a question.

JOHN Fl. sENTER.

Possessing undoubted ability, having
marked gift of oratory and being 4
very companionable man, the late Johr
II. Senter of Montpelier stood out as one
OF the prominent men of Vermont of the
present generation. As lawyer he was
very capable, as a politician he was very
adroit, as citizen he felt impelled by
many high motives, as public servant
he gave self-sacrifcing devotion to his
trust. Withal, he was warm hearted and
generous, even to fault. Those qualif.
cations brought recognition of marked
variety to John II, Senter, and they Sc
cured for him a wide friendship among
those who Were able to see the big things
in mans life despite the idiosyncrasies
OF temperament which go with human
nature. The generous impulses of the
man, his kind-heartedness, his hatred Of

The nation should, the colonel said, be
prepared TO take its own part. A conn
try that cannot defend itself often is as
fertile source of evil as one which does
wrong to others, he said, continuing:
whatever may be the case in an in
fnitely remote future, at present no peo-
Pile can render very great service to hui
manity unless as a people they feel an
intense sense OF national cohesion and
solidarity. The man who loves other
nations as much as he does his own
country stands on par with man who
loves other women as much as he does
his own wife. The United States can
accomplish little for mankind save inso-
far as within its borders il develops an
intense spirit of Amerieanism. The pro-
fessors of every form of hyphenated
Americanism are as thoroughly the foes
Of this country as if they dwelled with
out its borders and made active war
against it. Once it was true, as Lincoln
said, that this country could not endure
half free and half slave. To-day it is
true that it cannot endure half Ameri-
can and half foreign. The hyphen is in
with patriotism.

Pleasing Melodies Will Be Heard at

Melodies that set you humming, fine
dramatic story revealing the romance OF
saucy princess and the naughty prince
charming. and an endless skein of spark
ling comedy that keeps the audience con
vulsed with laughter, are some of the
reasons, only some, for the tremendous
success during its long run in New York
and the present triumphal revival en-
tour of "The Spring Maid"
Andreas DIPPED, of Metropolitan grand
opera fame, is responsible for its return
to activity this season and the fact OF
this well known impressario's connection
with the present tour lends assurance
that brilliant cast has been gathered
together. Miss George Campbell, the
dainty little prima donna soprano, who
plays the part Of the sauey Princess
Bozena, scintillates as radiantly as the
most yociferously heralded star. Miss
Francis Golden is a most captivating
soubrette and her rabbit dance is one of
the most delectable hits of the entire
performance. Ben. Byron, as the bur
lesque tragedian, contributes one of the
richest comedy charaeterizations seen in
light opera in years, while Arthur Wool

FLYING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

The announcement, from British
source, of the construction of an aero
plane engine by the Germans which il
capable of developing speed of lsC
miles per hour seems well-nigh unbeliev.
able; but the origin of the information
lends some strength to the report in
asmuch as the British are loath to give
credit to their great foe unless absolute
ly required to do so. This engine is
without doubt the highest development
yet reached in the construction of mo-
tors, and it is so far ahead OF any en-
gines previously in use that it gives the
Teutonie powers marked superiority in
air battles over either the British or the
French, once they have acquired enough
of these rapidly moving battleplanes.
Thus again the German policy Of efficien-
cy reveals itself; with them there is
nothing so good that there is not some
thing better. So they set to work to
get something better. This they seem
to have attained in the development of
the high speed motor for the flying ma
chimes. The new motor promises to add
materially to the conquest of the air
when the war shall have ceased. just
prior to the outbreak of the hostilities
there was much talk about an aeroplane
which could cross the Atlantic ocean,
and plans were actually being laid for
such wonderful trip. There was great
skepticism at that time and the pros
pective oversee navigator was ridiculed
and called fool. However, the appar-
emit impossibility of the performance is
reduced to almost probability by the
latest product of German ingenuity. II
an engine which is practicable, has been
perfected that will carry battleplane
with all its equipment at the rate of $50
miles an hour, it viii be easily possible
to fy across the Atlantic ocean inside of
a single day. Even allowing that the
maximum speed of the engine may not
be maintained all the time it would be
possible to cross the Atlantic from Fish
net to Halifax in the time now taken
for railroad trip between New York
and Chicago. The war promises to revo-
air transportation.

cred impossible under other conditions
unless there had arisen fresh hope OF
support rather near at hand. Possibly
the reported landing Of British and
French troops at piracus and Phalerou
in close proximity 10 the Greek capital
may have led to the belief that Greece
was about TO Join htr strength with the
entente allies despite the efforts OF King
Constantine. II has seemed for some
time that a large section Of the Greek
people We're inclined 10 side with the en-.
tente powers possibly that element has
grown so strong that King Constantine
cannot resist the pressure. This would
account in some measure for the renewed
determination OF Montenegro to fight III
out with Austria, providing, of course,
there is truth in the reports which are
coming through the London censorship.
Again the dumping of the allies army,
which has been operating on the CALI
poll peninsula into the Balkan regions
would so strengthen the position of the
entente powers that such little depend
ent state as Montenegro might take fresh
courage under the splendid example Civ

arate peace from Austria AT any rate,

The Forty Acre Farm.

The following plan is suggested by the extension division of the Univer- sity of Arkansas and United States department of agriculture. There is nothing arbitrary about it and each farmer should modify it to suit his conditions. A larger farm should have more winter oats, more corn, more pasture and possibly some wheat or alfalfa or sweet potatoes or a little more cotton. Write it Out on a sheet of paper and see chow it looks-Corn and cowpeas, 10 acres, Sudan grass, 2 acres; oats and lespe- deZa, acres; peas, soy beans and peanuts, 4 acres; garden and potatoes, 1 acre; sorghum for syrup, acre; permanent pasture, 3 acres; cotton for cash, 12 acres; (crimson clover seed in August)
 On such a farm there should be the following livestock: Mares, 2; colts, 4 @ of them year old or under 9; milk COWS, 2; calves, @ of them 1 year old or under D, brood sows 2, and pigs (kept to 10 months of age). hens 30 to 100. and few roos- ters, these to be sold the first week in June.

BETTER FARMING
 HINTS.
T,he Summer Wood.

Is there white farmer in Arkan- sas who does not have his summer supply of wood ready? Is it far to the wife or fair to the farm work to fool along and cut wood each day for the good wife? How much wood was used last year? Then get it all cut and split and ricked neatly and covered and enough to do until next November. It will add to the happi- ness of the family and save squab- bles. The boy who has to cut wood every day all summer will run off as soon as he is old enough. The eX- tension edivision of the University of Arkansas will start a campaign soon for oil or gasoline stoves for the farmers wives.
