He had cast the chest into the sea. and it would take a dozen expert divers to locate 1t. And now, atop of all these wor- ries, the child must fall in love with the first conner! It was heartbreak- ing. Norton, so far as he had learned. was cool and brave honest and reli- able in pinch; but as the husband of Stanley Hargreave's daughter, that was altogether different matter. And he must devise some means of putting stop to it, but
 But he was saved that trouble.
 Mongoose and cobra, that was the game being played; the cunning of the one against the deadly venom of the other. If he forced matters he would only lay himself open to the strike of the snake. He must have patience Gradually they were break ing the organization, looping off a branch here and there, but the peace of the future depended upon getting grip on the spine of the cobra him. self
 The trick was simple. The count ess had news; trust her for that.

DON'T LET YOUR SWEET poTA.
 TOES ROT.

The sweet potato is too valuable to permit to rot when it can be saved so easily and with no expense. If sweet potatoes are carefully handled with out severe bruising at time of harvest, are properly assorted with the rotten potatoes thrown out before storing, and are we'll ventilated for ten days after milling they will not rot. Where potatoes are grown for home use only it is not necessary to have an expen- sive potato house. The home potato hill properly managed will always save the potatoes. he details of this method and others are given in bull letin No. 124 of the Arkansas Experi- ment Station which can be secured by writing the College of Agriculture or the Extension Division, Fayette- vile.

FALL FLOWING TO CONTROL THE
 BOIL WEEVlL.

To protect next years cotton crop, destroy the feed and riding places of the boil weevil now. Weevils stop feeding and hide in old cotton stalks, burs and bolls and other trash with the first freeze. Destroy their food supply and shelter before the freeze by blowing under all rubbish and cleaning up the fence rows and corn CTS. When freezing weather comes the last generation will be exposed and great numbers will be destroyed and few will be carried through the winter in our fields to attack next years crop. Now is the time to do effective work. Remember, blowing under waste materials in the fieiTis before December 1 will not only help to control the boil weevil, but it will do much to maintain the fertility of the soil

THE CIRCUS PARADE.

Did you ever wait for circus parade? And go where it promanades? You wait for just an hour or two; Your kids get restless, so do you. Then someone steps upon your foot, And you'd like your fist, in his jaw,
 to put. The youngsters all want red balloons, And dirty themselves like little
 baboons. The sun streams down upon your
 face, You get hot, tired and thirst and have
 such 9 taste, You say, Why don't it come along? What tine it's it coming? Is my watch
 wrong? Which way does it go? Oh! Never
 again." But you hear the band and all is
 amend Then you see the parade as days of
 yore, Ut was the same durn parade as the
 year before"

hound and other herbs with medici- nal and other properties. These are now considered old-fashioned and few pay attention to them, but if the farm CT will glance occasionally at the market quotations he will put the fence corners in sage or other herbs or spices.
 Sage is today selling at 30 cents a pound. A few years ago it sold for four. It takes considerable sage to weigh pound, but square foot of ground will grow considerable of it.. The roots are hardy and once planted the farmer need do nothing further until time to cut and dry the leaves.
 It will pay handsomely for the farmer to grow these little things that will add to the bank account They will do as much along this line as a busy lot of chickens.

FOR MODEL DAIRY
 NEAR THE CITY
AUTEN FARM BEING STOCKED WITH PURE-BRED HoESTElN
 AND GUERNSEY COWS.

H. F. Auten will establish a model dairy on his farm northwest of the city. He is stocking the farm with pure-bred Holsteins and Guernseys. The Holsteins will give an average of 5000 quarts year and the Guernseys an average of 4,000 quarts year At the present retail prices of milk i'll Little Rock, these COWS would earn $660 and $40. respectively, and they consume about $50 worth of feed a year. All the COWS are young, healthy and tuberculine tested.
 MT. Auten says that while a good COW in Wisconsin gives eight gallons of milk per day in Little Rock five average cows are required to give that amount, and that it is a great loss to feed five cows to do the work that one should do. In Wisconsin, he said, good grade cows cost from $125 to $50 apiece.
 While on recent trip to Wisconsin MT. Auten inspected dairy plants and methods of producing milk. In start ing his Lincoln avenue dairy, he will insist that Cleanliness and Purity" shall be the watchword. He intends to have his cows brushed, rubbed down and where necessary washed each day so that the product of the dairy will be so pure as to be fit food for inva- lids and babies.

MRS. BABcock,s NEW COMEDY.

Continued from Page D. ,4mes increased when lilly, in won derful speech made from molasses barrel, portrays the use of Piedmont's Pills as a tick eradicator.
 During Tilly's brief stay at Stone Center, Jimmie May, the giggling and none too bright daughter of Huekbee, 1 falls in love with the young man. Jimmie Mays affectionate nature IS about to involve young MT. lilly in an embarrassing predicament, when having sent in an enormous order 1 for Piedmont's Pills, he silently steals away.
 Returning to the city, he receives generous pay for his unusual success and is offered a contract by Manager Piedmont. Learning, however, that the Piedmont Pill Company is in need of a stenographer, MT. lilly de- cides to return to his former identity and as Miss Tillie Thomas secure the stenographic position To this end clothing and a beautiful new wig are secured.
 That same afternoon a very pretty and stylfshly attired young girl calls on Manager Piedmont and applies for l the position of stenographer She gives her name as Miss Tillie Thomas Complications ensue in the last act A letter is received from the irate Huckbee, who swears vengeance oa young Piedmont, and declares that he will shoot his cowardly hide full of something worse than Piedmont pills if he does not return to poor heart broken Jimmie May Piedmont, final 1y suspecting that Miss Thomas and MT. lilly may be the same, involves her in such hopeless tangle that she finally drops her brave little head on his desk and sobs.
 Manager Piedmont watches her moment He bends over her.
 Piedmont-Dont cry, little girl don't cry. Just tell me all about it.
 Miss Thomas fsobbing)-I can't! can't!
 Piedmont-Oh, yes you can You are game. You are the gamest girl I have ever seen, Miss Thomas.

 Piedmont-Of course, will believe you

 Piedmont (smiling) )-Don't worry about these lies. Lies, my dear Miss Thomas, that get results on the scale your lies have done are not lies. They are works of art. Now, you are going to tell me the truth.
 Miss Thomas then tells her story. winding up by saying, And now here 1 sit before you. And I feel like a poor little weak fish caught in a big, strong net and you are holding the net-what are you going to do with me?
 The story turns out all right, ana while there is human interest in it. there is none of the sob value that marks Nanny"

ADVISE HOLDING TURKEYS
 FOR DECEMBER TRADE

The Goodwin@& Jean Company is now issuing weekly bulletins to the poultry producers, hoping in this man. ner to encourage the growing of poul- try. This company will give the poul- try faneiers advice upon when and how to sell their product, and thus in- crease the supply.
 The weekly letter issued by the Goodwin & Jean Company follows:
 The fall season is on and every farmer is planning to arrange his poul- try flock to get the best price for the surplus and at the same time keep plenty of stock that will be profitable during the winter and spring.
 There is no question that poultry is the best paying crop on the farm and gool poultry houses with plenty of feed and care will be paid for with interest, by the hens producing more eggs during the winter and early spring.
 Take good care of the eggs too.
 Selling Poultry.
 We want several cars of full feath- cred geese any time after this date and will pay more than you ever be- fore received for geese at this season.
 Bring also eggs, ducks, chickens, hides and anything that you have to sell at this time.
 Begin now to fatten and get your turkeys in fine condition for the mar ket beginning November 10, but re member the December turkey market is usually higher than November.

HORSES NOW ATTRACT ATTEN-

fiOINs
 In this day of the automobile the horse and the mule are being driven back into the woods where motor cars cannot be used. That they are not disappearing entirely is shown in the heavy sales of harness and saddles which are being made by concerns which manufacture them.
 It takes a very fine car, or one built along peculiar lines, to attract atten- tion nowadays, but a fine team of horses or mules, especially if they are properly set off with harness to match them, will make the natives sit up and take notice when they pass down the street.
 As long as there is human nature there will be desire to look upon good horse flesh, and the harness manufacturers need have no fear as long as the breeders will produce it.
