CLOVERS AND COVER CROPS.

Circulars on clovers have been sent to all the bankers in Arkansas. to all county judges and to all secretaries of commercial clubs and to all county agricultural agents and will be sent to anyone on request. Everybody in Arkansas ought to know about the great value of clovers and all pros porous farmers are urged to SOW at least one acre of crimson clover. bur clover, or alsike clover or Bermuda or orchard grass before the first of October. Then with a small patch each farmer can next year raise his own seed for larger field. After a farmer has arranged to SOW a few acres to one of the clovers he should then plan to SOW wheat, rye or oats on many more acres of his cotton or corn for winter cover and pasture crop. Let us quit having bare fields IF the winter and letting our soil wash away. How many now will vote for green fields next winter 7? Write the Director of Extension Di- vision, University of Arkansas and U. $. Department of Agriculture, Fay etteville or Little Rock, for bulletins or see the county agent, if you have one. If you don't have a county agent tell your county justice that you want one by next January.

THE RURAL SCHOOL TERM
Talk Four.


 The lack of equal school privileges for the farm boy and the farm girl IS compared with the school privileges provided for the city boy and the city girl, in length of school term, in equipment, in professional supervision and in the qualification of teachers, are injustices that might have to be tolerated in a despotism but are dis criminations that should have no place in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. But we4 are not through yet with the length of the school term as one of the rank est discriminations against the farm boy and the farm girl in oul public school policy.
 The per cent of daily attendance ot every 100 pupils enrolled in the rural schools of Maryland, according to the Bulletin of the Bureau of Education 1913, No. s, entitled "The Status of Rural Education in the United States, by A. C. Monahan, is only 5l per cent, the lowest percentage of a'' tendance in the rural schools of all States in the Union. Delaware comes next with 5l.4 per cent. Colorado ranks third with 53.6 per cent lh' three States ranking highest in per centage of daily attendance in the rural schools are as follows: Oregon 9O.6; Connecticut, S8.4; Massaehu' setts, 86. It is evident, therefore that Maryland with the lowest per centage of rural school attendance, IS 39.6 per cent below Oregon with the highest percentage of rural school at tendance.
 1T the rural school attendance wete raised from 676 per cent-the aver age daily attendance in the rural pup llc schools of the United States 9O.6 per cent, the average daily at tendance in the rural public schoo'S of Oregon, it would mean an increase of rural school term in effect and !" the aggregate for the country at large or 23 per cent. It would seem tha' 9.4 per cent of the actual enrollmen' as In the case of Oregon, is a sufficieH' allowance for all reasonable absence' such as sickness, necessity of pupl' belng absent as wage earners in oroe to properly support the family, ap" all other reasonable excuses. OregO" has found it so. What Oregon ha' done every other State in the Uno' can do if it only will. Who is reau' to say that every State should not o' this for the farm boy and the lar" girl?

 "The Spider" an extraordinary Paramount Picture produced by the Famous Players Film Co.,, gives Pau line Frederick an unusual opportunity for the display of her amazing talents as the subject presents her in two di- versely opposite roles, Valerie St. Cyr, notorious Parisian beauty, and her deserted daughter, Joan In the impersonation of these dual but dis tinct characters, the superb emotional artiste performs miracles of charac- ter interpretation and of dramatic portrayal. The tremendous power Of Miss Frederick's art and the wide range of her screen capabilities were never so forcefully Illustrated as in her compelling delineation of this unique emotional drama.

L<ake Is Careful Man,

While the elements were threaten

grandstand yesterday those present
talked baseball. Among other things
and personages. Leake, the pitcher Sc
cured by the Virginians from Rocky
Mount, who pitched against Buffalo
Tuesday. was mentioned. From the
conversation OF those present It ap-
peared evident that Leake deserves
the credit of being called one of the
most careful players on the Richmond
team. 1t was brought to the notice
or the fans that Leake never threw
his glove on the ground Instead,
he brushes the glove off and lays It
carefully In front OF the dugout
Another instance of his carefulness
brought out during the investigation
was that when Leal1 catches a bat
ted ball and men are on the bases
he always takes ample time to watch
these men before throwing to the
base at which he wishes to catch his
man. Also 1t was talked that Leake
is one of the best fielding pitchers
in the Int circuit However, this Ia
up to the fans to decide and the
former Virginia Lacquer will have to
participate in full game of nine in
nines before he can be properly
judged.
