Petition for Receiver.

The action before Judge Landis was
petition to appoint a receiver for
Morrison's properties. which have been
variously estimated at from $4,000
to Ss,000,o00. One of the contentious
was that Morrison had adopted the two
girls to prevent the city of ChicaS so
from receiving the estate. which, under
the will of his father, was to be used
for educational purposes if Morrison
died childlesS.
Morrison is alleged to have given
away to certain friends more than
$2,000,00o of his estate, during the past
seven wears

SHELTER THE COW

The milk COW is a delicate ma chine for the production of food. She utilizes her food both for heat and for milk, but she will use it for heat first. Cows in Arkansas do not need close, air tight stables, but it is not profit able to let them shiver in the cold rain. A dry shed, however crude and cheap, will pay a good return to any farmer. Then the milk COW must have milk pro- ducing feeds, such as pea hay, soy bean hay, peanut hay, clover, alfalfa or a little cotton seed meal, and she will give more milk for the children.

KARL JANSEN LECTURE

Karl Jansen, the Swedish Entertainer and Humorist, de- livered his popular lecture on Two Ways of Selling the Goods' at the opera house Tues day evening. On account of a late train Mir. Jansen did not reach Ozark until after time for his lecture to begin. The large audience was entertained with the picture show until his arrival. He was hurried from the station to the opera house and in a very few minutes he was before an appreciative audience.
 He has a fawless style and his splendid training places him in a class by himself. His discrip- tion of his native Sweden, his adopted country, America, and and love for the flag, and what it stands for, is beautiful.
 His parting message to Ozark was, Tell them they have fine material, and all they need is the touch of the Master Hand. :"

WASTE PATCHES

Now is the time thoughtful farmers are planning the sum- mer's campaign for a living and for a snug bank account next November. Why not utilize the waste patches about the small farm and also keep down the weeds. Here is a small patch for rape for the SOW and pigs to be planted the last of February or early March to be followed later by peas and again by late patch of rape; another patch for spring oats for the COW and chickens, to be followed by cow peas or peanuts; another patch of early potatoes. to be followed by peanuts or potatoes; another patch for early sweet corn for family or market and other patches about the place as the farmer chooses. Then every part of the ground not in one of the above crops should be seeded to one or more cIovers with oats possibly for the chickens and kept in something green all summer, for the looks" if not for the chickens, or for the COW or mule. Fight weeds with usable stuff.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT

Much has been said about rural improvement, bnt there is room for considerable change in the conditions in our small towns and villages. Why not get ready now for a great clean up" campaign sometime in Feb ruary or March. Too many village streets are worse than the county roads. Why not grade and drag these streets, improve the drainage, put in crossings and side walks, haul out the tin cans and rubbis sh. clean out the alleys and back yards, fence in the pigs and chickens, plant trees along the streets, a differ ent kind of tree for each street, fix up wide parkings and set to Bermuda or bluegrass, and then most import ant of all. look after the out houses. the greatest disease breeding factor in our small towns. Haul off the manure from the stables before the first of March, provide air tight boxes and use lime or Urea. with powdered boraX at rate of one pound per l6 cubic feet. The unsanitary privies in the village and small towns is the cause of more deaths than tuberculosis. Why not have this slogan for the villages and smaller towns, Let us make this a good town to live in" Those who want to know about what shade trees and shrubs to plant may write the Horticultural Department, College of Agriculture, Fayette- vile.

EXAMPLE OF LABOR EFFI.
 CIENCY

Efficiency of farm labor is often as important as it's distri- button. Two young men were blowing clover sod. Each had two horses hitched to a 14-inch walking blow. It was heavy blowing, and each team was barely able to blow 15 acres a day. One morning the men de- cided to try three horses on one blow. They did so, and to their great surprise one man and three horses easily plowed three acres per day. They plowed as much as two men and four horses had previously done and did it much more easily. It was even easier for the driver, because it is all ways easier to drive a team that is not overloaded. The new ar engagement released one man and one horse for other work.
