TO CARRY MONEY SAFELY.

In the June Woman's Home Com panion writer gives the following directions to carry money safely:
 You may have given only pass ing thought of where and how to carry money when you go travelling. To be safe. do not carry tickets, money and all valuables in one pocket. Buy a bill folder of sufficient size to take care of the railroad and steamer tickets, baggage checks, and so on. Probably the safest place to carry this wallet will be in the inside pocket of your coat, Your money-and in trav- cling in America it never is necessary to carry in cash any such amount as eight hundred dolars-will he safest and in the most convenient place for you if carried in a small leather fold CT in a side pocket of your trousers. Small change might be kept in the same pocket, but nothing else, for loose articles will be in the way when your fingers reach hastily for street car or cab fares. Money in a side pocket of ones trousers ordinarily is immune from pickpockets, much more so than if carried in the rear trousers pocket"

USE WASTE PATCHES.

There are too many waste patches on Arkansas farms. The general farming operations in the state, seed bed, blowing and cultivation are bet ter this year than ever before. More and better gardens are seen every where and we will have more corn and peas and other feedstuffs than ever before and, the Lord be praised, the number of farmers who will go up to October out of debt to merchant or banker will be greater than ever before. These men will not have to sell cotton if the price does not suit them. But now for the waste patches. Plant Sudan grass, peas, potatoes, turnips, mangel wurzels, sorghums, Lespedeza, pumpkins, anything that will be better than weeds; something for the table or for the stock Let every foot of farming land be utilized all the time. It will make the place look better, too.

The European war has increased the industry. Russian sol diers are given the seeds as part of their rations. They are either made into bread, eaten raw or parched. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of the seeds are consumed every year in Russian settlements in the United States. In addition to the food value, Russia is using the seeds for the manufacture of oils. soap and in the making of varnishes. The price of sunhower seedcake previous to the war was five cents a pound, while now it is eight cents pound wholesale About 1900 pounds of seeds can be produced to the acre.

they changed the number on the car
between Black Earth and Sank City

Mt. Horeb she went under the name
of Mrs. Mary Mckenzie because she
had had trouble with her husband.
