PECANS FROM ONE TREE
SELL FOR $4,000.

Vernon Jones, of near town,
threshed a pecan tree on his
place this week and the nuts from
this one tree brought him $4,000
cash. lie sold them at 25c a
pound. This one instance illus

raising in this section. A pecan
orchard in the overflow land of
the upper bottoms, if properly
looked after, would make one rich
in a short time, and the bearing
trees are already there.

Bringing Up Children

This is something nearly every household has to do.
And parents bring up but family in life time,
and rarely have chance to do it again. We ought
10 study about it a good deal when first begin.
The master rule for bringing up children right is to
keep them busy.
1t wise old proverb that says, "Satan finds some
mischief still for idle hands to do"
Is it Just lovely how children love to do things
The boy hold the lines, drive the cows and
swing an axe long before he is able to do such things
And the little girl is eager to cook and and be
woman Is it not strange that older people not
wise enough satisfy these desires of children and
lead them on from task to another that they shall
enjoy their work and be glad OF the pleasure brings
And the most interesting and important work is not
always with the hands, Children also love to solve prob
lens and guess riddles and their minds Somehow
this passion for learning gets starved out and disappon
ed and the child that at ten is eager and interested at
twenty is stupid or perverse.
There are many other things that parent has to
study but the master rule for bringing up children
right is to keep them happily busy

- "e~"y ceHSofous.
Washington, Feb. 21.-The United
States has completely shut of any
hope Of a settlement of the Lusitania
case with Germany through the ma
chinery Of international arbitration.
The refusal to arbitrate, II is under
stood from an official source, is based
on the ground that the vital interests
and national honor OF the United
States being involved, the matter was
one which could not be submitted to
arbitration.
II was the second time such a pro-
posal has been turned down and II
was rejected finally at the last con-
ference which the secretary of state
had with Ambassador Bernstorff.
The first proposition was made soon
after the Lusitania was sunk At that
time 1t was rejected on the ground
that the United States had no assur-
ances that pending an arbitral decision
by The Hague court to which Ger
many proposed to submit the dispute,
Germany would not continue sinking
merchant vessels without warning.
Subsequently, however, Germany in
formed the United States that she had
rescinded her former orders to sub
marine commanders and that hence
forth the rules OF international law
requiring due warning and care for
the safety Of passengers and crews
would be strictly livel up to.
At the last conference with M.
Lansing and in the light of the assur-
ances just referred to, it is said Count
Won Bernstorff renewed the PROPOSE
tion, the sole question to be submit
ted to arbitration being that relating
to disavowal
Germany, he said, greatly deplored
the loss of American lives on the
Lusitania and was willing to demon
strate the extent Of her regrets by
paying an indemnity. She could not,
the ambassador insisted, admit that
the attack without warning on the
Lusitania was illegal.
This attack, he is said to have in
sisted, was a reprisal against Great
Britain's illegal blockade.
Secretary Lansing, II ia understood.
held that the right Of Americans to
be on board the Lusitania could not
be questioned; and that their right to
protection under international law. &C
corded to neutrals on the high seas
and was too firmly established to ad-
NIT of debate. That this principle
should be acknowledged by Germany
in any settlement of the Lusitania
case, the secretary insisted, was a
matter of vital interest to this coun-
try and that, therefore, the United
States could not. with self-respect.
submit to arbitration.
While conflicting press reports con-
tinue to come from Berlin as to the
reply which Germany will instruct
Count Won Bernstorff to make to the
final proposals Of Mr.. Lansing. neither
at the state department nor the Ger
man embassy has any ofiicial forecast
been received.
In Official circles the situation was
described as unchanged, still grave"
but not necessarily dangerous.
