PAYING THE PRICE

we are always paying the price for
the things we lose or gain.
Out or this life of the mingled gift
of gladness and of pain;
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t is always paying the price for
life, no matter where we begin,
we sit sometimes with little dream
think of the things that were
nice.
IL all comes over us, lucky or sad,
that we've had to pay the price.
The magnate pays it for his, as the
pauper pays it too;
And the saint pays just as the sim
ner does and the unsaved have
to do;
In all that we have and hold, or in
all that we've thrown away.
1t is sure in the end to come to this
that there was price to ray.
We pay it for love and peace, for
cheer and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going
astray, we pay it for doing
wrong;
In all that we are or seem, in glad
ness or grief or pain,
we are always paying the price for
the things that we lose or gain

GROW MORE HOGS.

Arkansas should have twenty times as many hogs as are now in the state Why not a campaign for one or more pure bred sows on every Arkansas farm? Bankers are ready to lend money to farmers for year at per cent for purchase of pure bred bulls Now the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. $. De partment of Agriculture would like to suggest that bankers offer to lend money for the purchase of pure bred gilts. If in a county forty farmers who now do not own one pure bred hog could be helped to buy pure bred gilts in November, gilts bred to far row about the last of February, t would start movement for more wealth among the small farmers.

CISSIE LOTUS COULD MIL
 TATE IRVING OR BERNHARDT

Walter Prichard Eaton, in the No- vember American Magazine, says in an article about famous mimics:
 "In the days when Cissie Loftus was delighting vaudeville audiences with her limitations, she used to give an imitation of Lillian Russell. Miss Russell countered by giving an imita- tion of Miss Foftus' imitation of her. But to an artist like Miss Loftus that presented no difficulties. She merely came back with an imitation of Miss Russell's imitation of her imitation of Miss Russell! The fair Lillian there upon retired from an unequal contest.
 "Cissie Loftus could initiate any body. The present writer once heard her, in the course of a casual conver- sation, initiate most thrillingly Sir Henry Irving in a blank verse death scene. Then an imaginary curtain de- scended, and you heard Sir Henry, in a totally different voice Ono less un- mistakably his) inquiring in very Saxon prose, where in - were the red lights? Standing on the stage of a theatre, without change of costume, with the flicker of smile on her rather wistful face, she would range from Sarah Bernhardt to Ethel Bar rymore, so that you almost gasped at the uncanny cleverness of it, and if you shut your eyes you could hardly believe that the actual persons were not present. Hers, of course, was an extraordinary gift of mimicry, and it brought her in a thousand dollars a week, much more, probably, than she could command as an actress"

APPEASING THE BABY.

It isn't all honey being the eldest girl of family, as Marjorie often finds. Particularly does she get az gravated when told to put Baby Dora to bed.
 Dora has the common infantile com plaint of wanting everything she can think of before she will condescend to go to sleep.
 "I want a drink of milk" she an- nounced loudly one evening when Marjorie had already made several trips upstairs.
 "I lit the gas for you, didn't I?" de- manded Marjorie, standing accusingly by the bed of the babe
 No answer.
 And I've brought you your Teddy bear and the black doll ?"
 Still Dora vouchsafed no reply.
 And gave you a piece of white paper and nice pencil ?"
 This time Dora pouted assent.

WINTER COVER CROPS.

Farmers should not forget the value of wheat, oats and rye for cover crops. There are four distinct values of these cover crops: CD Winter pasture; @ lessens washing of soil; (3) the green plant uses plant food that is being liberated and when plowed under said plant food is saved that would other wise be lost; (4) the growth to be plowed under in April will add to the humus supply, thus adding to the fer tility of the soil and also adding to the misunderstanding capacity. The Extension Divisions of all southern states have been urging a campaign for more winter cover crops, the non- legumes where the clovers cannot be seeded.

SENIOR CABRERA HAS FIX
 PLANNED CARRANZA DEGREE

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 20.-Senor Cabrera, head of the Mexican delega- tion, explained today Carranza's die tatorial decree, abrogating personal guarantees, by which people may be arrested and shot in Mexico without trial He said:
 This decree is for the purpose of protecting the government and the people of Mexico against bandits and like lawbreakers. For example those who wreck railroads, who hold up and rob travellers and commit other crimes under the preteXt of war are being dealt with in summary fashion. in the case of such crimes there is no trial. If guilty, the prisoner is imme- diately executed. It cannot be said that Mexico is entirely under martial law. Only those crimes which may be construed as crimes against the state are punishable without trial and without appeal"
 The American delegates, however, have received information from Unit ed States consuls and former Ameri- can residents in Mexico that Car ranza's decree is being stretched to include every conceivable offense. For this reason, they said, the Carranza administration has become a veritable reign of terror
 The American commissioners were also informed that Carranza's aboli- tion of personal guarantees before the elections will make possible for the Carranzistas to terrorize all opposi- tion into supporting the first chiefs candidates.
 Because of the insistence of the Americans that Carranza guarantee his promised social economic and po- litical reforms in Mexico, the Mexican delegates have wired to Mexico City for further instructions
