Alma was the youngest child of n
rich family. She was not spoiled. Her
sister WAS spoiled and petted until she
was real mean.
Minnie did not want to obey any
body. She wanted her way about
everything. Her mother and father did
not know what to do.
They finally gave up all hone of re-
deeming her. hut il distressed them to
see her so maynard.
Alma was different. She was kind
and loving, and Yet obedicnt She
obcyed when she was spoken to. and
did not ask: What for?" and "Nhy?'
one wintry day the ice had covered
the ground, and II was misera bly, cold
outside. The children wanted to go
skating, hut their mother objected
NO. she said. you must not go il
is too cold. and, besides, you might fall
and hurt yourself
Alma left the room like an obedient
child should have. but Minnie STAYED
and begged and leased her mother.
Her mother was firm, however. and re-
fused to let her GO Finally Minnie
left the room.
Il think it's shame that wo can't
play out of doors to-day" She said.
Let's go anyway"
THAT would he wrong" said Alma
Wait until another day. and then we
may go"
Minnie left her sister to herself and
put on her coat cap and lcggins and
went to play anyway
There was Il fine place to skate not
far from the house, 50 she went 10 THIS

THE SEASONS.

First comes spring,
And with her She brings
EArly wild flowers.
And the April showers.
Then comes summer with all her 10Y,
And she brings to every girl and boy
Apples and peaches with rosy cheeks.
That we enjoy for many glad weeks.
Next is autumn,
Aud with her call
All the gayly colored loves then
And leave the old tree standing alone
Till spring comes again with her haapy
song.
Then is winter
And the snow falls hard,
And we go coastng in our yards,
And Santa will come before long with
his toys,
That he brings to good girls and good
boys.

ment. It was prepared for seeding under the direction of George K. Lowe, Pulaski county demonstration agent.
 Most of the farms around Scott have been seeded with comparative small acreage of crimson clover" says MT. Lowe. eff these demonstrations are successful the acreage will be greatly increased next year
 The only objection to crimson clo- yer is that the farmer has to wait un- til May l or later before he can blow under the crimson clover and plant an other crop. If he blows it under soon- CT, it will not have attained a suffi- cient growth to be of much benefit to the soil. Therefore it is not practical to attempt to follow crimson clover with cotton, especially when we have every reason to expect the boil weevil next year If cotton is to be success ful under boil weevil conditions, II must be planted before May 1.
 The most practical crop to follow crimson clover is corn planted during May This will enable the farmers to realize the benefits of the clover crop

When a boy one of my chief pleas ures was the county fair. I looked forward to it all through the year, and I must confess that this feeling has not completely left me yet. 1 was always a healthy boy, and 1 am also a healthy man, and when l go to the fair I will enjoy it just as much as that there is always something new and wonderful, so that it will be en- joyable just as it was years ago.
 But what about the man who goes to the fair-and the same applies to the women and children-whose liy CTS are sluggish, who are palid and languid? Does it not seem as though they are throwing their money away, and squandering a lot of good time?
 There is absolutely no reason for am here seven days of the week offer ing to treat their cases at the bargain price of $1 for each treatment, pro vided they come with cash in hand.
 Pulaski county will do itself proud at the fair which opens next week at Forest Park. Every community O. the county will participate, and those who attend must marvel at the inn provement noticeable in live stock and agriculture. But the sick person razorbacks eat acorns, for all the pleasure he or she will get out if this wonderful sight
 My advice to all those who are not feeling we'll this week is to come to my office and let me put them in condition for the big event. It is worth S1 of anybody's money to be able to enjoy life, and it is worth far more than that to learn if you have any thing chronic the matter with you so that you can put yourself under treat ment and prolong your life.
 Remember I am graduate of two schools of medicine, and am regular practitioner. I examine you as do all physicians, and not only prescribe but give you the medicine as well, and all for $1 per visit cash.
 My new hospital, in the quietest and most restful part of the city, has far exceeded my expectations. I have treated there a class of patients or the very best They have found con ditions there ideal, and all who have left the place, cured and ready to en- joy life again, are walking endorse ments for my hospital.
 My office is open most hours of the day, and am always glad to have you drop in and consult me, whether you take treatment or not. But do not fail to see me if you are not feeling we'll enough to go to the fair and get everything possible out of it.

PLAZA HAS STAR PRODUCTION

CnrlValed in the art of character
ization is William Tedmarsh of the
American Mutual forces.
Evidence Of his forceful capability as
a photoplayer is given in his realistic
Interpretation Of Satsuma. the Ian

marine" the American Mutual pre-
paredness photo-noyel and Of Quabba
the hunchbaCk. in THE Diamond from
the sky, and many more recent roles
Four years ago. upon making his
screen deput William Tedmarsh i'm
mediately compelled recognition Of the
dramatic talent with which nature had
endowed him. As his popularity and
fame spread. he became Familiarity and
affectionately known as Ted" the
wizard of makeup
a catalogued list Of roles in which
he has since won distinction would ex-
tend far beyond the limit here per-
mitted His most notable portrayal is
that Of Satsuma in The Secret of the
Submarine closely seconded by his
Quabba, I'm which part he scored a uni
versal triumph in The Diamond from
the Sky"
Mr.. Tedmarsh is endowed with a
rich sense Of humor. After playing the
lead in Love is Blind" he is quoted
as saving, the leading man was blind
so l led him around" A favorite
pastime is to stretch his limbs under
the dining table Of some kind friend.
There | am stronger than horse
radish,' he explains in his jocular way
In a recent interview Mr.. Tedmarsf

subject of superfluous or careless make

said MIR. Tedmarsh, in his forceful
| precise way. Some are gifted drama {.

women and well-set up young chaps
| and some are hopelessly lacking talent
| But they all have one common fault
too much makeup. The most per
