HOT SPRING co. WHEAT
 ABOVE THE AVERAGE


 On last evening Mr. Geo. Doyle, of the Cape County Milling Company, one of the largest in the world, who does all the wheat buying for this conl- pany in Arkansas and Missouri, spent the evening in Malvern and while here enered the Miller Drug Store for 3 cool drink and was attracted to the jar of wheat on exhibit at the soda fountain. Upon making inquiries he found that the wheat was raised in Hot Spring County by Mr. Batchelor on one of E. o. Kilpatrick's hill side farms near Rockport, two miles north vest of Malvern and that produced about fifteen bushels per acre, all of the same variety and quality and was thought to weigh four or five pounds overweight per bushek.
 MT. Doyle at once informed Mr.. Gus Berger, to whom he was talking, that he had bought thousands of bushels of wheat this year and that he had not examined but one batch that had weighed 50 rounds, the standard weight to the bushel, and further, that he wanted to weigh or test some wheat which did test out standard weight or over. Thereupon Mr. Doyle return ed to his hotel for his testing machine and found the wheat to test out ex- actly 50 pounds per uushel, the second he had seen this year.
 MT. Doyle was very much surprised to learn that Hot Spring County land would produce such quality and quan- tity of wheat, especially hill land. He advised that the wheat be kept at home and that as many as possible of the farmers be supplied with the seed as it was all one grade and kind Mr. Berger informed him that MT. Kil- patrick was receiving $500 per bushel for same and intended to plant next fall all that he did not sell between this and sowing time.
 Farmers will make no mistake by sowing at least 10 acres in wheat this fall. Land well prepared and good seed will bring the desired results.

Overcominu Difficulties.

Tell me the name of one man who
has really made good without hard
ships, struggles and suffering. Any
time you make up your mind that
there is no use in further trying and
that you will wait for some opportu-
nifty to come along, call out the re-
serves and have the whole force club
you into action. If you have any idea
that you can make a success sitting
down, while men of mental energy and
great physical strength are working
for all they are worth, you have one
more guess coming. If you are not
ready and willing to fight, and fight
hard, you are in the middle Of the
stream, near the falls. It's all easy
with you now, and will be-until you
strike the rOcks.-Silent Partner.

Value of Punctuality

Business and industry in this cOun
try have been reduced to system that
compels the admiration of the world,
yet it is doubtful if the great masses
of the people have, learned in a practi-
cal way the value that should be placed
on punctuality.
True, employers insist that their en-
plOyees be on time at their work, but
many of these same employers will fail
by .l:,,lc III ho..r to keep an appoint
ment and undertake to offer excuses
for their failure. A note at the bank
compels promptness because of the
consequences that may follow neglect
to give it attention, but the loss to
others by lack Of punctuality may be
of serious character.
The failure of so many people in be-
ing prompt in all their relations to
others probably lies in the fact that
they magnify the lack Of punctuality
in others and minimize it in them
selves, thereby making way for lax
ness that becomes a harmful habit to
all whom it affects.-Pittsburgh Dis
patch.

A GENERAL SURVEY 0F
The WAR.

Thursday, Jan. 25.-Three terrific
battles are in progress on the frozsn
swamps of the Riga region. Late dis
patches from Berlin report an advance
for the Germans on both sides of the
river Aa.
Earlier in the day Berlin announced
that Prince Leopold's troops had cap
tured Russian fortified works aionc
a front of six miles, taking ] 700 pris-
oners and thirteen machine guns. Fe-
trograd reports yielding about 9 third
of mile of ground at one point but
saws a counter attack recovered other
positions
Friday, Jan. 26.-Germans captured
French trenches on line of a mile
about Hill 304 in the Verdun sector.
Paris reported later hiatt the attack
ers were driven out with great losses.
British in Asia Minor captured LOO
yards of Turk trenches at Kut-el-
Amara.
Saturday, Jan. 27.-By pouring rein
forcements into the Riga region,
where the Germans have been press
ing northward over the frozen Tirul
swamps, the Russians apparently have
stemmed for the present, at least, the
advance toward the covented Russian
Baltic port
French failed to recover positions
gained by the Germans on the Mouse.

by the Russians.
Further attempts of the Germans to
advance on the Riga sector were re-
pulsed, with heavy losses.
French troops launched a success
full attack against the German posi-
tons between Les Eparges and the
Calonne trench, on the right bank of
the River Mouse, north of Verdun.
Numerous German dead were found
by the French in the Teuton trenches
and important booty was captured.
Monday, Jan. 29.-On the front in
France, near Hill 304, the artillery
bombardments on both sides have
been rather severe, and grenade fight
ing also has taken place. Several Ger
man and French attacks against de-
lenses broke down, with heavy cas-
ualties.
While Berlin says the British, in
their attacks against the Turks on the
Irak front, in Asiatic Turkey last
week, suffered heavy losses and in ad
dition met with repulse, London as
serts that Saturday and Sunday thu
Britishers, in attacks, gained complete
possession of Turkish first and Sec

HUGE BRITISH FLEET
is SEEKING RAIDERS
Entire North Atlantic Squadron
Off New York.

NEW YORK, N. Y. - The entire
North Atlantic squadron of the British
navy has been ordered into waters ad-
jacent to New York, it was authori-
tatively stated here.
Reports of steamship masters
brought to this port and taken to Hal
flax caused the issuance of orders
to the squadron to search for a Ger
man raider.
From sources close to the British
consulate it was learned New York
harbor waters" might mean any spot
on the Atlantic within 200 miles of
New York, giving color to reports of
a German commerce destroyer 200
miles off Sandy Hook
Orders were issued after masters of
various steamships had reported mys-
ferrous ships sailing about. At least
two steamship captains declared they
were positive the vessel was raider.
An embargo has been placed on wire
less messages reporting positions of
ships sailing under flags of the allied
nations.

DIRECTION IS REAL SECRET
OF GOOD GOLF

Harry Vardon, the famous English
champion. holds the distinction of be-
ing the greatest golfer of all times.
Why? Simply because his game is
founded on the principle that direction
is the real secret of successful golf.
There are many who can outdrive Var
don. but no one can tell the star Eng
lishman how to get better direction.
The superiority of Vardon's game
over Rays was plainly seen in their
matches in this country in 1913. Ray,
trying for distance, would invariably
outdrive his companion, only to have
his ball frequently land in a bunker.
Vardon gladly sacrificed distance for
direction. and his drive was always in
a good lie for a second shot.
Vardon not only strives for direc-
ton himself in all his tournaments.
but he advises beginners to do the
same when learning the game. Get
direction first and gradually work for
distance is VardOn's valuable advice
to the novice.

coffin shed no fragrance backward over
the weary way by which the loved
ones have traveled.-SeIected.

French Operas.

The earliest operas in France were
composed by Lulli at the end of the
seventeenth century and Rameau at
the beginning of the eighteenth cen
fury, but they were little more than
limitations of the Italian style. The
basis of the French opera was laid by
Gluck in the latter half of the eight
zenith century. Meyerbeer, Rossini,
Gounod and Thomas represent the
most popular of the successors of
Gluck, with the more modern Massenet
and Carpenter.
