 T dare say you are right" she said lazily. All the same, I don't quite un- derstand you. Miss Smith. You saved me in rather an awkward dilemma the other night. And now you want to leave me-
 Gabrielle smiled.
 "If l was of any assistance to you, It was for reasons that had nothing to do with you personally"
 Sylvia fidgeted irritably. What do you mean?' she asked
 Madame Arnaud, you are pretend ing. You want to pretend that the lives that you have linked to yours have really nothing to do with you that you are not responsible, that you are just beautiful, innocent woman sitting among your dreams on a noun tain top far above the turmoil of or dinary mankind. And you want me to pretend with you. But I really can't. As you said--I know too much. I'm a discomfort"

 If you please. madame. a lady wishes to see you-Mrs. Farquhar, from England"
 There followed brief poignant si- lence, Sylvia Arnaud's hand frightened convulsively on the bonbonniere, and she looked at Gabrielle with the help less appeal of child who suddenly realizes that it has lost itself in a crowd of strangers.
 "Tell Mrs. Farquhar that I--I am---"
 But Mrs. Farquhar was already in the room. She stood for a moment on the threshold, smiling at them both, with the delighted consciousness of having successfully performed the part of an agreeable surprise packet. Her appearance undoubtedly heightened the desired effect. She wore white dress and white toque Moreover, she was profusely powdered, and looked, if possible. younger and more dartngly self-assured than ever. For a minute, during which she hesitated. her bright eyes rested rather earnestly on Gabrielle Smith, who, lowing for mally, went out into the courtyard with grim amusement written on her small, sunburnt face. Whereupon Mrs. Farquhar advanced and kissed Sylvia on both cheeks
 My dear Sylvia--my dear little Syl- via--now I am sure am the last per son en earth you expected-an old woman travelling in savage country full of foreignersi It's almost inde- cent isn't it?"
 Sylvia smiled faintly. like someone awakened from stupor.
 "Oh. don't know Won't you sit down? certainly didn't expect any English person in this dreadful place If one can live in England" She broke off suddenly. What made you leaveg
 You see. I have been rather lonely. Since Richard left"
 "Ah. yes, of course" Sylvia sat down with het back to the sunlight, her hands cIaspei tightly in her lap.

Many Mena Women Are Learning
 the Cause.

Women often suffer. not knowing the cause.
 Backache, headache. dizziness, nervousness,
 Irregular urinary passages. weak ness, languor-
 Each a torture of itself.
 Together hint at weakened kid neys.
 Strike at the root-get to the cause.
 No other remedy more highly en- dorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Recommended by thousands
 Endorsed at home.
 Here's convincing testimony from Mena woman:
 Mrs. A. W. Baker, 706 Jansen Ave. Mena. says: My kidneys were weak and I have always thought that bad drinking water caused the trouble. I had a dull, steady ache over my kidneys, and it hurt me to stoop or lift anything. I suffered more during the day on account of being on my feet So much. My limbs used to swell and I often got dizzy. Sometimes my kidneys acted too freely. and then again, they didn't seem te act at all. Doan's Kidney Pills. procured from the Jackson Drug Co, soon helped me, and four boxes rid me of the trouble"
 Price soc at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney pills-the same that Mrs. Baker had. Foster Mil- burn Co, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.- Adv.

SOILS AND SOIL FERTILITY
No. 2. Farm Manure.

By De F. Hungerford. Assistant Agro- nomist University of Arkansas. Farm manure is. without question. the best fertilizer the farmer oan put on his land. The oldest experiment station in the world. located at Roth. amstssd, England, has conducted ex- pe1ments for many years comparing manure with various amounts of com. mercial fertilizers. In one of these tests the plot receiving no manure or fsruiizer of any kind yielded 13.1 oasnel Of wheat as an average for nfty years The plot receiving IA tons Of manure per acre each year yielded SS.b bushels as the fifty year average. Another plot was treated each year with fertilizer costing s15.25 per acre and produced 23.9 bushels fol wheat The only plot in the test Wnien produced as much wheat as the manured plot was one which received each year fertilizer at cost of S29.sb per acre. This plot averaged 36.s bushels of wheat per acre for fifty years. Countless other experiments have shown that manure is a valuable fertilizer and should be preserved and used accordingly.
 The reasons for the effectiveness of manure as a fertilizer are apparent when its composition and action in the soil is understood. Plants reou,re certain substances to make them grow lust as animals must have food. The most important of these substances are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot asn- These are commonly called plant foods because they serve as food for plants A ton of average manure contains 10 pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric acid and 10 pounds of potash. These quantities may seem to be insignificant, but pants do not require very large amounts although a lit..e of each is absolutely essential If these mater 'ais are bought in commercial fertiliz- CTS they are expensive. At the GUS. 'omary price for fertilizers the con. s'ituents in one ton of manure would eost $S.Sb. The cost would be very mucn more at the prices now pre- valling.
 The value of manure varies some. what With the feed the animals re- oeiVe' The richer the feed is in pro .ein the more nitrogen is contained in tue manure. For this reason the ma Aure rom animals fed on cotton seed meal bran, alfalfa hay or other rich 1eeos Is especially valuable. Nearly all or the nitrogen fed to a fattening Animai is returned in the manure.
 Manure Is valuable for other req. sons besides the plant food 1t con .a'ns' In every ton of average manure suere Is about 800 pounds of organic mater This has a very beneficial in- nuence on the physical condition of sue soh- It makes heavy clay soils more mellow and open, and 1t binds 'He sand grains together in sandy

This would interest the leading citizens and turn the teachers loose to work among oth- CT patrons of the schools.
 The argument of the opposition was discussed, as we'll as the best means for combating it. It was explained that the chief argument sc far was an appeal to the cred ullty of the rural people, who were told that if the amendment was adopted they would have to pay more taxes. 1t was decided tC reach these people through pub llcity and other means, and show them that no increase can be made unless they favor it. and at the same time point out the benefits Go be derived, which are far superior to any objection

PREDICTS END OF WAR.
Military Correspondent Says ConiIic
 Will Stop This Year.

London, June 2i-The Times mill itary correspondent in France writes that the opinion on the British front is that the war will be prot to a successful conclusion during 1916. This is based largely on the follow ing factors:
 Continually growing numbers of men and quantities of munitions on the entente front; extraordinary successes of the Russian armies, the arresting of the Austrian offen- siye in Trentino: the silencing of the German navy thru the sea battle of Jutland; the exhaustion of the Ger man reserves, as indicated by the calling up of the i7-year-old youths and the use of prisoners in the Ger man munition factories.
