next spring. After all this he is
ready to start to school. Of course
there is not much more of the
school to come and the boy looks
upon it as a sort of recreation or
holiday, consequently, before the
teacher can engage his best in
terests in the work of the school
the school ends. This same par
ent will sometimes complain that
his children have not learned a
thing and the teacher is no good.
This sounds a little like talk,
at least, twenty years old, yet
some of these notions and prac-
tices still exist in Crittenden
county. The results are that a
census taken last spring shows
four hundred and ninety-fve per
sons over twenty years old are
unable to read and write. 9th
ers think that if their children
can complete the common branch
es by the time they reach their
majority that it is time enough
and all they need. Others think
that half of this is enough. 9th
ers don't think at all. The most
phenomenal thing that has come
to me in my six years experien.
ce as County Superintendent oc-
cured last fall when the father
of four children of the school age
sat whole afternoon and dis
cussed with me how he might
evade the compulsory law and
keep his children out of school.
He went so far as to say that if
he were fined he would lay it out
IN the county Jail, then after he
got out it would be the same
thing over. He had no objection
to the teacher either.
To my mind this is no less a
crime than robbery. We have
heard it said many times that a
child never pays for its raising.
While | think this is the man
who never sees anything but the
dollar mark in the transaction,
yet this same man can repay this
debt and follow the Golden Rule
by raising another child and per-
him to avail himself of
the privileges and advantages of
the day in which he lives, If he
willfully prevents him there is
no other that will fit the case so
well as robbery" While there
is still some missionary work to
be done along this line in Crit
tenden county we are delighted
to note that this class of citizen
is fast leaving the county. They
are now but a few. A little mon
ey added to the public fund, a
few months added to the regular
term OF school, a little more time
and energy given to public COM
interests in a few years
will succeed in exterminating
him, Let's have a spring school.
Yours very truly,

PLANT Trained to Three stems.

soil, the transplanting being done in
such a manner as to insure the mini
mum check in growth
Two or three transplantings while
in plant beds are essential to secure
short, strong, stalky plants with
compact, fibrous root system.
In transplanting we move a chunk
of earth about four inches square with
each plant. We make rows three and
a half or four feet apart and space
the plants 16 to IS inches in the row.
Each plant is confined to a single
branch and trained to stake. Strong
twine Is used to secure the plant to
the stake, one such support being
used just below each cluster.
The string Is first made secure to
answer and then the stalk inclosed,
a double knot being necessary in this
case. Ample allowance should be made
for subsequent growth of stalks. -
A lateral will appear at each .aaf
joint and these must be removed at
once in order that the entire strength
of the plant be directed into the
growing of the single stalk and the
development of the fruit cluster there
on.
In our own experience we have
found that this method of culture has
decided advantage over other meth
DDS. First. gain is made in securing
early maturity of fruits; second, the
fruit is larger and finer in quality.
While there are not SO many indi-
vidual fruits as where permitted to
branch freely. there is gain in size
and very decided gain in the number
of perfect specimens.
The fruit being held suspended, the
influence Of the suns rays reaches
every portion of its surface, resulting
in higher and more perfect coloring

LIQUOR DEALERS BARRED.

The Manufacturers and Dealers as
sociation, an organization Of the liquor
interests with headquarters in Chica-
go, is offering to furnish newspapers
with antiprohibition material. In his
letter to the editors Mr.. Daniels, busi-
ness manager of the association, says:
This is not liquor organization. We
do not accept as q member anyone who
deals in alcoholic liquors. We are tax
paying business men who help make
the wheels OF commerce go round" 1t
may be in order to ask. why discrimi-
nate against the liquor dealer? From
the standpoint Of the above-named
antiprohibition commercial associa-
tion he is necessary factor in making
the wheels go round. Does the liquor
trade, wholesale and retail, view with
approval this ostracism by manufacture

A. G. Findlay of Seattle. royal
chief of the Scottish Clans, is travel
ing salesman whose work takes him
into every city of considerable size in
the far West. This is what he says:
National prohibition is not far dis
tant-of that feel certain from the
satisfaction which prohibition is Civ

note that stores report marked In

which they are doing and that the in

ate means report that collections are
very much better, payments made
more promptly and, in a much in
creased proportion, without 'dunning.
zone entire set Of arguments against
prohibition is, 1t seems to me, knocked
out by what is seen to be happening to
the saloon. The poor mans club, the
saloon has often been called by some
who sought to defend it and the at
tempt has been made to call prohibition
class legislation, as depriving the poor
man of place for social intercourse

PORTABLE CRIB IS FAVORED
Great Convenience In Feeding Hogs
Ia Distant Fields-Save Feeder
Many Extra Eteps.

\ Portable corncribs holding from 100
to 200 bushels are great convenience
in the summer feeding of hogs espe-
cially when the animals are being
kept in q distant field. Even when
they are fed in yards, the portable
cribs will save the feeder many steps.
II the cribs are built on slkids, the
feeding may be distributed in summer
SO as to keep the feeding lots more
wholesome and the manure better dis
tributed. Many farmers use wagon.
but when left standing out in all kinds
of weather. the wagon box soon goes
to pieces. A portable crib costs little
and win answer the purpose better
than q wagon. The crib should be
constructed of hight yet strong mate-
