Just Our Luck.

About the middle of last week, :, with our coat cast aside, our collar open and with palm leaf fan, to agitate the still, warm atmosphere, we began to spread ourself on an article, captioned "The Sunny South ;" for then the roses were in bloom and the fruit trees had began to bud, while the gaudy- winged butterfly lazily foated through the ambient air. But woe, is me. Of sudden we heard rumb ling noise away back up the country, and before we could say "Jack Robinson,n the Boreal blasts, "came down like wolfe upon the fold, o and "froze the blood in our young veins.o To make long story short, a drop in the temperature from 76 to 12 degrees in ten hours is going some, but that Is about what was done here between Wednesday noon and night, of last week.

 do not give the allies the exclus- i've right to purchase them" :"
 "When the war began, both sides to the combat had this right and exercised it. England since has established her suprem- acy of the seas and has so over come German comm cree that
 ne latter can no longer carry on this traffic, and to now place an .mbargo on the exportation of arms, would in the opinion of many, constitute an unfriendly act"
 The above from Senator Rob. rnson's speech is q clear, concise and complete answer to the German sympathizers who are asking this Government to put all Stubdi So VII dl HIS dili h'h munition. It is only because the great high seas are under control of Germany's enemies that the pro-Germans are yell ing themselves hoarse for em- bargo. Suppose the German navy shohld get up courage e. nough to go to battle with the English fleet, and destroy 1t and become mistress of the seas, is anybody now living fool enough to think these embargo howlers would want 1t then? Senator Robinson, who is one of Ameri ca's brightest citizens and most eminent statesmen, has correct lv sized up the situation, and to him and others of like compre hensive vie Ys, the American peo pie can safely trust their wei fare.

Boys Corn Club Work in
 Drew County.
By C. C. Randall.

Mir. Farmer, are you interested in that boy of yours? Would you like for him to be successful in life? It might surprise you what the boy can do. Will you give him chance? See what other boys have done and then see that your boy has chance. It may mean a great deal to him.
 Here is what some boys have done Boy Corn Clubs have been conducted in the Southern States for six years by the United States Department of Agri culture, the Agriculture Colleges and other cooperating Agences.. During this time l75l boys each have produced more than 100 bushels of corn to the acre. Of that number, 26 each produced more than goo bushels per acre. Nearly

Hon. Sam. M. Taylor, for
 Congress-.

In another column in this pa per appears the announcement of Col. Sam. M Taylor, of Pine Bluff, as a candidate for re-elec- tion to Congress from the Sixth District. Mir. Taylor is so we'll and favorably known to our peo- pie, as one of the best and most faithful members of Congress that the District ever had, that commendation almost seems su- perhuous. His rise in Congress has been phenominal, for new member, and while he has only been member for one term, he is now recognized by his colleag- ues as a leader in the House. His election, recently, to the import ant Committee of Rivers and Harbors, the one big Committee of the House, was a tribute to merit which his friends and con- stituents fully appreciate. We may have something further to say of Col. Taylor's candidacy at another time, but for the present ask your consideration of the following sketch from the Car lisle (Lonoke County) lndepend- ent:
 'In speaking of the qualified tions for public office Thomas Jefferson said the voter should ask, touching the candidate, this: "Is he honest? Is he faithful? Is he competent? Is he true to the constitutional"
 In answer to these questions we are truly of the belief that our congressman, Sam M. Fay Tor. has lived and acted in ac- cordance with each of them, and we cannot refrain from making some remarks in common there with.
 To commence with, the dis trict could not be more ably and

 ARKANSAS RECORD IN THE CORN
 WORK.
 purinp the year 1913 the corn cluo work was conducted in 70 counties III Arkansas. The total membership oi all the clubs during all that year was 2359 boys. According to the reports ol the boys who sent in their statements an average yield of 45 bushels ah acre was secured. This is more than double the average yield for the state made under the old methods Of cuiu- vation Eighteen of these mempers' one of which was girl, grew l99o bushels of corn on IS acres of lana with an average yield per acre ot lot bushels and an average cost of prodne tion of Is cents per bushel.
 OBJECTS OF THE CLUB WORK.
 I. To encourage and train boys a long the lines of the activities ot country life.
 3. To put into practice the facts Of scientific agriculture obtained from books, bullentins, etc.
 3. To bring the school life of boy into closer relationship to his home life.
 1. To assist in the development of the spirit of cooperation in the family and in the community.
 ,. To dignify and magnify the vo cation of the farm CT by demonstrating the splendid returns which may be SC cured from farming when it is proper ly conducted.
 6. To enlarge the vision of the Do, and to give him definite purposes a an important period in his life. "Girc A4." What part can the Drew coun ty boys play in this great game? Ar the boys of other counties and othe states naturally more competent t grow corn? No. Are the soils of othe sections better adapted to the growth of corn? We don't believe so. Father! let's bring the boys to the front. Ther is lots to win and nothing toIlose. If tn boy can make big yield on one acr he can do the same on ten or eve fifty. The final result is that he wi be a good farmer, business man an leader in his community. Give the bo an acre. Then give his name to you County Agent and he will do ever, thing he can to help the boy.
 Every boy will be given equal tim and interest by the demonstrator.
 The list of prizes in club work wi be published in this paper soon.

THE MEXICAN TROUBLE.

Last week, down in Mexico, some 16 American miners, who were travelling by train to a mining camp, in Mexico. were held up and murdered by a band of Villa bandits.
 This internal outrage was com. mitted for the sole purpose of plunging the United States into war with the Carranza Govern ment in Mexico; and many ''jlngoes" yelled loud and long for President Wilson to send our troops, forthwith, down there and avenge the killing. But the President, who IS governed by law and reason instead of pas. sion, declined to act upon such precipitated suggestions, and has determined to give the rec ognized authority in Mexico a chance to redress the appalling outrage. 1t was unfortunate that these American miners should have ventured into Mex leo at this time, before order had been fully restored; but as they had the right to go, and their interests demanded that they should go. they were clear ly within the pale of information al law, and their brutal and in. human butchery calls for redress and reparation. President Car ranza, of Mexico, has vouch- safed that he will run down and visit condign punishment on the Villa bandits who murdered the Americans, and our great Presi- dent, believingin the golden rule. as applicable to nations as we'll as to individuals, has very wise ly and considerably decided to leave the matter with the head of the Mexican government, at least, for the present time.
 If the tragedy had been re- versed, and it had been Mexi- cans killed by American bandits, on American soil, and our Presi dent had given his word and honor that his government would punish the offenders, how many of the "jingoes" that are now clamoring for the invasion of Mexico would tamely submit to the Mexican army invading our country to avenge the kill ing? We venture to say, not one.
 Aside from the Republicans, who are seeking to make politi- cal capital, and a few unthink. ing, unreasonable hot the great majority of Americans will heartily endorse the course of President Wilson in this trying event.
