der the direction OF Mr.. Chamberlin,

on display. but potatoes and roots
were most common, and showed ex-
cellent work done by the members.
This club was organized in the Bot
any class last spring, II being COM
pulsory for members Of the class TO
have gardens before completing the
course. However, the compulsory
phase was soon lost sight OF by the
boys in view OF their interest in the
work. Each member was required to
have a small plot Of ground, buy their
own seed and perform all work in the
garden, and so make the garden a
| business proposition, as we'll as
sure way of learning the practical
points of Botany. The boys were un-
der the direct supervision of the di-
rector during the spring, but We're
left entirely to themselves during the
summer vacation. At the opening of
school this fall the work was immedi-
ately taken up by the director which
resulted in the recent exhibit
Fifteen boys started in the club but
three dropped out during the summer,
leaving twelve, who completely fin
ishcd the project The work was
judged ON general condition OF garden

given to those receiving the corres-
ponding places. Theodore Semke re

ports sent from other parts of the

to develop the cooperative idea in
agricultural pursuits. to teach to the
members the culture of plants, and to
develop in the members a sense OF
responsibility TO themselves and their
home.

Weather and Crop
 Report for State

Below we publish the Weath- CT and Crop Bulletin for the state for the week ending April 18th, as sent out by Section Di- rector fl. s. Cole, of Little Rock:
 Moderate temperature pre- vailed during the week with heavy showers on the 20th in northern portions of the state, amounts of over two inches oc- curing at a few places in the northeastern counties; but only moderate showers occurred in central and southern portions. The soil is reported in excellent condition in all except a few northern counties where it is too wet, which is causing delay in corn planting.
 Cotton is up in southern and part of it is up in central portions, and where up excellent condition and good stand are re- ported; in northern portions it is coming up in some places and being planted in others. Corn is up except in the extreme northern counties where delayed by wet weather and is reported in excellent condition by nearly all correspondents, a few re- porting that replanting was ne- cessary and few reporting in- jury by cutworms and hail. Wheat and oats are in good con- dition in most places. Alfalfa cutting is in progress and the weather was favorable for cur ing nearly all week. Vegeta- bles are coming on rapidly and the earlier kinds are plentiful in the market. Strawberries are coming into market, but are still rather scarce: a large crop IS ex- pected. The prospect for apples and for peaches, except in the extreme northern portions, is excellent.

Million Dollar Mys-
 tery Pleasing Many

The Million Dollar Mystery, the popular moving picture serial which is being shown at the Star Theatre and which is being run in The Spectator, is growing in popularity every week. Manager Byram of the opera house states that each night the Million Dollar Mystery is shown, good crowds are in at tendance and that all seem pleas ed with the serial. Readers of The Spectator are loud in their praise of the serial and many congratulations have been re- ceived upon our good fortune in being able to secure this popular story.
 Today we are running six episodes of the serial which will put us up ahead of the pictures at the Star Theatre in order that our readers may read the story and then see it acted, thus making it more interesting to them than the ordinary story and helping them to understand 1t better.
 We want you to read the Mil lion Dollar Mystery and then after you have read it, we want you to see it in pictures. Two episodes will be run in The Spectator every Friday and the pictures will be shown every Monday and Thursday night.
 Read the Million Dollar Mys- tery.

Sells Second Trac-
 tor in Franklin Co.

A local hardware firm at Charleston recently purchased an 8 l6 horsepower oil burning International tractor and gang blow and will place same in operation in that section of the county. Commenting upon the purchase of this modern ma chine, the Charleston Express goes on to say:
 This is the second tractor bought in Franklin county. The first, the same make as this one. was bought by Thos. Carpenter of Webb City, and has been in use for about a year. We are told that Mir. Carpenter is well pleased with the implement.
 While lots of people look upon the tractor as unpractical-just as the automobile, airships and wireless telegraphy were looked upon ten years ago-we dare say that in a few years they will be in general use here. The tractor the local hardware firm has is a nice size for convenient use on most 80 to 100 acre farms. It is made to be used for station ary work as we'll as tractor. ;"

Many Rocking to
 F ore st Reserves

Many homeseekers are hocking into this section of the state now to locate on the land that was recently eliminated from the Ozark National forest. This land was opened for settlement on the 20th of this month and can be filed on on the 18th day of May.
 Many are locating in the south part Newton county and many are going to Harrison, and going into the mountains from that town. The largest number will be in Stone county.
 The greater number of home seekers is coming from the northern States-Dakota, Mis- souri, and as far northwest as Montana. Many are coming from the larger cities. Most of those who come from the cities were reared in the country and are anxious to get back to the farm.
 Most of the people expect to raise live stock and grow fruit on the land. A large per cent of the land in the mountains carries deposits of ore.

est of Wells Show
 M u C h Gasoline

That the gas obtained from at least one we'll in the Kibler field adjacent to Fort Smith contains sufficient gasoline to permit it's abstraction to be made at a profit, has been determined. The well is the Wildcat No. 1 in section 28, 9, 30 Crawford county. Mon- day Graham Williams of Sapul- pa, Oklahoma. son of Ali Will Hams, made a test of the gas in the Grove No. l, the Clear Creek No. l and the Wildcat No. l. A report received today shows that the gas from all three wells contains gasoline. but only in one. the Wildcat, is the quantity large enough that it can be taken out of the gas at a profit. This test gives the specific gray ity of the Grove we'll as 55, the Clear Creek is 5S and the Wild cat is 67. The wells are situated in order named on a line running west to east. and the specific gravity Is accepted as another indication that the farther east the wells are sunk, the bigger producers they will prove.
 The apparatus used in testing the kibler gas for oil is said to be the most successful in deter mining the presence and quan- tity Of gasoline in gas. The separation takes place in the mouth of the we'll and the gas is turned back into the mains for dinary consumption. Alb. stracting the gasoline has very little effect upon it in detracting heat units. according to those who are we'll informed on the subject.

 Manager The Spectator,

 Dear Mr. Cox
 Your contest letters have been referred to and same have been carefully gone
 For the 1st prize would select the letter by J. L. Cummins the ad of the Ozark Lumber Company is of the attractive pieces of advertising that has to attention lately It practical both from perso nal and business standpoint and know advertiser must have been repaid several times the cost of the ad This ad gotten up in such manner attracts attention the minute reader glances your paper
 The End prize would award to Mrs. Geo. L. Rowe of Denning and will admit that the ad of the Ozark Va riety Company, is attractive but in my estimation believe the Ozark Lumber Companys ad the best of the two While The Spectator is a real newspaper and has large circulation and you publish that is while it is it certainly pays advertise in up to-date newspaper
 Third prize would adjudge to Miss Leta Townsend because agree with her that the day has passed when the advertiser pays his good money to the publisher simply to help and support worthy local institution. will also agree with Miss Leta that the picture the ad will attract attention, but much if the ad gotten up in readable annerto have the written in such that when your eye glances the page where the ad is inserted attention drawn the article, and have read with much in terest that you would have if the cut is left in.
 Fourth prize would select Guy C. Smith. of Wich- ita Falls Texas. have often noticed the ads of Nichols Wakefield and will agree with him that the ad in a very good and doubt has been of great service the advertiser. Now can't quite agree with Mr. Smith garding space which it occupies the first page and believe, Mir Cox you will agree with in this remark Very few Metropolitan papers will accept advertising for their front page they wish this valuable space insert the live and very timely which is breaking day. Of course am like you, If were ming country weekly certainly would accept ads for the front page but would be double that for the inside pages.
 Yours for service,

Mine Rescue Car
 Coming to Denning

According to advices reaching here from Washington, D. c. Mine Rescue Car No. 4 of the U. s. Bureau of Mines, in charge of Foreman Miner John Board man and crew of trained men will be at Denning on May 9th, remaining at that place until May 18th. From there they will go to Pittsburg, Kansas.
 This mine-rescue car is one of eight now in use by the Bureau of Mines for training miners in first aid and resue methods and the use of oxygen breathing ap- paratus. Each car has crew that includes two experienced miners, a mining engineer in charge, and a mine surgeon. and is equipped with the latest rescue and first aid apparatus and supplies. At a moments notice the car is ready to pro- ceed to the scene of mine dis aster, where the bureau men place themselves under the direction of the state mining in- spectors and mine o fiji ci a S to do everything possible to assist or save miners who may have been injured or or entOmbed.
 The saving of human life and lessening the sufferings of in- jured miners are the central features of the bureaus work.
 Miners are shown how to use rescue apparatus, and how to take care of an injured comrade. The lectures are illustrated by lantern slides and moving pie lures which show good and bad methods of mining and how many accidents are easily pre- vented. These lectures are given in the car when a a suitable meeting place cannot be procured elsewh ere, but lan- tern slides and moving pictures cannot be shown in the car. Each car carries oxygen breath ing apparatus, a supply of oxy- gen cylinders. safety lamps. a field telephone with 20O0 feet of wire, a collapsible steel mine cage. an apparatus for reviving miners who have been gassed. and the charts. splints. and ban dages for demonstrating first aid methods. Some of the train ing with rescue apparatus will be made inside the mines, also in smoke and fumes, so that wear CTS will understand the value of the apparatus and how to use it. A miner wearing the apparatus can enter a mine immediately after an explosion and work in smoke and black damp for two hours.
 Many thousand miners have been trained in the use of their rescue apparatus at the Bureau of Mines cars and stations. It is hoped that in the near future every miner in the country will have a working knowledge of the apparatus. and that every mine will have equipment ready for use in case of emergency. Many miners have been saved after explosions by rescue parties wearing the apparatus. Also, the apparatus has proved of great value in fighting mine fires.
 Free instruction and training in methods of first aid to the in- jured are also given by crews of the rescue cars and stations and this instruction is given either in connection with rescue apparatus training or entirely separately, hence is applicable not only to underground workers, but to all those employed in or around the mines and metallurgical estab-

A Maids Way With a Man.

"And I have tried to make it clear
to you in every way knew. I've ask
ed you to this house, times without
number. I've played tennis with you,
and walked and talked with you, and
ridden your rounds with you in your
bumpy old milk wagon. I've simply
thrown myself at your head, day af-
ter day. But you-you wouldn't un-
derstand. You wouldn't look at me.
Nor listen. You mooned about, and
moped your ridiculous heart out. Be
cause you thought I was such a blind,
silly fool, I couldn't look past your
poverty and your ill-luck, and see
how splendid you really are. Because
you thought I was such stuck-up
simpleton I'd not want to marry you,
because you were millkman, when
I'd chase the cows for you, if you
wanted me to. "-Woman's Home

The Picture Theaters.

To the Editor: Anent the recent
raise authorized by the Dallas coun-
ell, permit me to ask space for this
contribution from The Journal s edi-
torial page.-W. P. Lewis.
Vancouver, Wash, Sept. 15.-To
the Editor of The Journal would
express my views regarding picture
theaters. | feel that their value is
seriously underestimated. My thought
is that since the saloons have been
closed the movies are of inestimable
public value while the saloons were in
operation they served the working
class as club rooms. Working men
could meet there in the evenings and
spend a few hours in social enjoy
ment. BY the closing of the saloons
laboring men were deprived of this,
their accustomed source of recreation.
There was nothing left to them but
work and sleep. Fortunately, the pie
ture house has succeeded in supplying
a want which was ignored by the
philanthropist.
am patron of the movies, and
am pleased to note that many OF
those who formerly frequented the
saloons are now to be seen regularly
at the pictures. This brings the
thought that in no better way could
our city fathers serve the best inter
ests of their constituents than by en-
couraging the picture houses. They
not only offer pleasant entertainment
but their influence is unquestionably
of an instructive and educationa
character, to such degree, in fact
that it may be felt that to then
should be extended the same consider
alton as school and church, and be
exempt from all manner of taxation
