THE writer is gratified to know
that Hon. C. H. Moses, at pres
ent the Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral of the State of Arkansas,
has been chosen by Governor
elect c. H. Brough to be Private
Secretary to the Governor. Mr..
Moses was associated with and
assisted the ARGUS editor in the
organization of the Arkansas on
Wheels trains during the years
of 1911 and 1912, proved himself
to be a young man of sterling
worth, highest honor and integ-
rity, with a proficiency of ability
and talent rarely found. He is
a true man, clean, kind and
pure and will reflect honor on
the Governor and state.

My old friend Alex Oehlslager
of the Fair View Farm" near
Wheatley, has purchased a fine
new Chandler Auto and comes to
Brinkley now because it is so
easy to drive it over the road the
the Brinkley commissioners built.
D. H. Smith. the clever rice
grower south of Wheatley, was
in Brinkley this week in his Ford
and reports that he has just sold
his rice at $1.00 per bushel. He
raised in excess of 10000
bushels this year and averaged
over so bushel per acre. Next
season Friend Smith will put in
500 acres of rice.
The scramble for land to grow
cotton on is strong now. The
third and fourth plan" is pop
ular rentals for the landlords for
next year and tenants are striv-
ing this time for an opportunity
to pay straight money rent.
Strange change up, isn't it?
J. H. Miley, the yam man of
Keevil, was in Saturday and
with him his young son, T. L.
Miley, who brought in a bunch
of young hogs from s. to 210 lbs.
in weight which sold at 10 and
II cts. on foot. Friend Miley re-
ports that they have shipped Z
cars of yams from Keevil this
season and netted so cts. per
bushel. 1t is beginning to look
like those Keevil farmers are 60
ing ahead and solve the market
ing situation in face of the lack
of disposition on the part of our
business men to lend them a
helping hands. My hat is off to
that live Keevil bunch of pro-
gressive farmers who are doing
things.

STORY WITH A MORAL.
How Worthless Mining Stock Taken
for a Debt Made . Fortune.

There is a wholesale liquor dealer
in Chicago who has reason TO believe
that some mining stocks are worth
money. Years ago he trusted an Ari-
IONA saloon keeper to- the extent OF
$4,000 and when prohibition came, lost
his money and all hope of recovering
it. The saloon keeper was, however,
an honest man and made earnest ef-
fort TO settle his debts. Among his
possessions was a certificate for 1000
shares of stock, worth one dollar par,
but then selling at considerably less.
This he offered to his Chicago cred
itor. and the latter, seeing that he
might go further and get less, accept
ed 1t in full payment of the debt. Two
weeks ago he sold that certificate at
the rate OF $42 share-or $168,0O0. II
was United Verde Extension stock
one OF the big sensations OF the last
decade. This is a true story and the
man is a min law Of one Of Spo-
Ikane's most prominent business men
There is moral to this story, OF
course, but It is neither that one
should enter the wholesale liquor bus
mess or trust saloon keepers indis-
fortunately.

IL TIE WAR SHOULD STOP.
Condition That Would Confront the
Workinomsn of This Country.

Workinomen OF This Country.
(Trenton, n. j., State Gazette)
If the war were to stop today the
workingmen OF this country would
quickly find themselves working I'M
der the same conditions that they
worked in the days of Cleveland.
Through the gates opened by Presi-
dent Wilson, European made goods
would flow to this country.
The prosperity that the American
nottingham now enjoys would be
shifted to the other side of the Allan
tic.
The soup houses that were closed
at the beginning OF the war would be
reopened.
Thousands of wage earners in Tren-
ton, now proftably employed would
be forced back into idleness.
The democratic party boldly de-
mands that the people give 1t credit
for the prosperity they are enjoying
at the present time. They say 1t is
due to democratic rule under Wood
row Wilson.
But the democratic party doesn't
undertake to she@ where, during the
past four years, it has opened mar
ket for American products.
1t doesn't undertake to prove by
either facts or figures that the pres
ent prosperity of the American people
SIS due to the democratic free trade
policy
1t doesn't point to single legisla-
tive act enacted during the four years
of Mr. Wilson's administration that is
responsible in the slightest degree for
our prosperity.
1t simply claims credit for condi-
ton that has grown out of circum-
stances over which it has no control
condition due wholly and entirely to
the European war.
1t would be just as reasonable for
the democratic party to claim credit
for the war as it is to claim credit fol
the prosperity that the war has
brought us.

ROCKS ABSORB WATER.
Estimate of Liquid Contained in the
Crust of the Earth,

Crust of the Earth.
The amount of water held In the
rocks or other materials composing
the earth varies greatly, owing to
many causes. The amount absorbed
depends on the poroslty of the mate
rial, the slope of the surface and the
size and abundance of joint cracks.
assures, and cavities. The amount of
water in drift or surface materials is
dependent to some extent on the ma
ture of the underlying rock, and the
amount which finds its way into the
solid rocks is dependent on the thick
ness of the everything surface deposits.
The amount of water contained in the
earth's crust (to a depth of miles)
has been estimated by different writ
ers with widely different results. A
recent estimate is given by Fuller, of
the United States geological survey
department of the interior, who con-
cludes that the total amount of free
water in the earths crust would be
equivalent to uniform sheet over
the entire surface of the earth having
a depth of about 100 feet. This is but
small fraction of the estimate made
by other writer's.
