famous bard. He explained the pc

it differed from that of other nations.

AVOIDING BRAIN STORMS

One of the first effects of war is
q rapid shifting of values. Much that
has been gradually instilled into our
minds and habits through the slow
processes of civilization we are called
upon to abandon ON a moments no.
uce. The young mans lighting in
stlncts, for example. which were re-
strained by the strong arm of the
law are, on the outbreak of war, re-
klndled by every device.
Along with the necessary abandon
ment of ordinary praiseworthy char
acteristics there go some other ideals
and interests which there is no need
TO abandon. Indeed, some of these
things are absolutely necessary TO the
maintenance of life and sanity dur
ing war times. Among these are
physical play and recreation.
If there is ever a time when peo-
pie need to Llay TO keep healthy bod
les and minds il is during such times
of stress as war brings. And yet
sensitive people feel a sneaking sense
of shame over their desire and neces-
sity for play. 1t seems comparable
TO smiles at funeral
In some splendid war pictures re-
Gently exhibited in Milwaukee, | was
struck especially by the playfulness
of the British soldiers. Ii has been
said that nothing but actual fighting
will keep these irrepressible TommieS
from football and other sports. Some
body has said that the Allies viii win
largely because the Anglo-Saxon is s
lover of outdoor sports and that in tht
long run the sportSmen will win.
War is depressing business and ar
increased amount of insanity viii
doubtless result from it. not alone
among the soldiers themselves, bu
among others with sensitive nervou:
systems. If this be so. it is but com
hio7 sense for people to keep theil
balance as completely as possible
And it is a scientific fact that clean
wholesome play is one of the bes
mental balance producers.

OVER AT MARSHFIELD

A. G. Burg of the Marathon County
School of Agriculture, attended
meeting of farmers at Marshfield, last
Friday. The object was to observe the
experiments that were carried out at
the state experiment farm in that
city. The principal ones of which
were with commercial fertilizers Of
rock and acid phosphates and lime
stone. There were about $50 far
,mers present. There was a basket
picnic in connection and a general
good time was had. The farm is about
miles out of Marshfield.

at the home of J. D. Richards for a drink of water Mrs. Mary Richards informed me that the well was dug 100 years ago by MT. Richards grand father The we'll was never drawn dry but once, and that was during the civil war, when 500 soldiers camped there. They cleaned it out then and found about wagon load of dippers, buckets, etc, in it. With another war on I would suggest that the First Ar kansas go out there and get a drink, just to be sure that they drink in the same kind of courage and fighting spirit as was exhibited by the Arkan- sans and Texans of that time
 The large hollow stone bowl they water their chickens out of is older than the we'll It was the mortar in which the former Indian inhabitants of that neighborhood ground their corn.
 MT. Richards parents and grandpar- ents are all buried on this place. MT. Richards is sixty-eight years old, and was born there, right in the same yard he now lives in; has been married 40 years, and Mrs. Richards says that during all their lives they have never even packed up to move. They have fourteen grandchildren, varying from a little girl pretty enough to turn the

 Saturday night I intended to stop with Will Landtrip, but instead spent it at Trammel Lake. Mrs. Lantrip is daughter of John Lee, who owns the lake. There is a 300-foot bridge across the lake, and only those people who help keep it up are allowed tp fish ;n the lake. Saturday night Mi. Lantrip, John Trammel Louie Lee and Oscar Davidson spent the night there with their families and fished, There were twenty-two persons altogether. The men were expert fishermen, and for supper had all the fish the crowd could eat. For breakfast they had fourteen more good sized fish, from eighteen inches down, which made a bread pan full more than could be eaten The men said tnelr families had been begging to spend the night fishing on the lake all the year Some of them complained about the mosqui- toes and the loss of sleep, however, but the midnight fish supper was en. joyed by all Fish are very abundant in the lake, and all night long they could be heard flouncing in the water which is twelve feet deep and sur. rounded with beautiful, tall Tupelo gum trees. which, in my former visit mistook for cypress. There was the hooting of owls, story telling, singing and fishing, with no thought of the high cost of living, for the fish were to be had for the catching and the bee trees for the cutting. All present, ex cept myself, belong to the Lee fam flies, who practically own Brushy Island.
 After breakfast l informed them that Jupiter Pluvius was only waiting for the crowd to get home in order tc water the island, as it is his custom to always send a rain when I go tc the country. My prophecy proved to be correct, for it commenced to sprin kle before we got home, and continued to rain all day, and then through the night This is the first rain the island has had in five weeks. Everything from Argenta out this way was suffer ing for rain, and more is needed Gravel Ridge did not get as much

took a trip through Brushy Is- land over R. F. D. :. Jacksonville, and R. F. D. l, Levy to Cato just to see if there was any one ln that community wanting The Pulaskian enough to pay cash for it, was out Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday and the following said yes at one dol lar a year cash in advance: Frank CaIva, Miss Oracle Bean, Ed Herman w A. Harrison, E. M. Herman, J. J. Todd. J. w. Todd, Roy H.

 One day last week I called at the home of Frank Furrer, on the Twelfth street pike. I asked the lady who came to the door if they would like to take the Pulaskian, and she said NO, we get the Gazette and Democrat. At this an old lady spoke up and salG; "That is the paper that has the county news in it. We want it. Take it and pay for it now.
 Mrs. John Lee of Brushy Island rec ommends the Pulaskian to her frlends as the best paper she takes, and ad- vises all to take it.
 Frank Calya is an up-to-date llalldh farmer of Brushy Island. He mas d fine fr,,it farm. He was surprised to learn in the Pulaskian of the Italian colony near Ledwidge, and is well pleased with the discovery.
 Seeing desire expressed py Muo Alley that I visit that community, l started out Saturday morning to do so. It rained all day Sunday. and as heard that Mud Alley had all the ram if wanted, I skipped it and went to Gravel Ridge. It was sure dry on Brushy Island when I got there, ana everybody was discouraged, for the boll weevil infested the cotton and rain must be had at once or the corn would be ruined. There was not a sign of rain to be seen, but it did rain, and the last thing heard as l left the island was from a man who had just r,n one furrow in his cotton: Tt is too wet to blow"
 On the way to the island stopped

CLUB WOMEN 10
 TALK OVER WORK
THlRTY.FIVE REPRESENTATIVES OF PULASKI COUNTY COM MuNlTY CLUBS TO MEET
 HERE NEXT TUESDAY.

Eleven Pulaski County Community clubs will send delegates to the coun- ivy convention which is to be held at Forest Park next Tuesday, at which time a county association of such clubs will be formed. and affairs of interest to all communities will be discussed
 Each Community Club is entitled to three delegates, the president, the secretary, and an elected delegate. The same plan will be followed by the city clubs which are interested in work of this character, making the attendance at the convention about fifty women.
 The meeting will be called to order in the auditorium at the park at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Enroll ment cards will be distributed and filled out, which will be the identifi- cation cards for those in attendance. The morning session will be spent with the organization and addresses, and the afternoon will be consumed with the perfection of working plans for the various clubs which are members of the county association
 Among those who will address the convention are: B. c. Powell, chair man of the executive committee which has in hand the agricultural preparedness programs, as well as chairman of the agricultural com mittee of the Arkansas Bankers As soeiation; Mrs. G. w. Garrison, who will speak on health; Mrs. w. T. Rob erts. chairman of the Curb Marketing Board Mrs. F. w Aydelette, who speaks on "Civics'; Miss Mary Me Cabe, who will talk on the State Council of Defense; Mrs. Minnie D. Fuller, who speaks on Suffrage, and Mrs. Clio Harper, who speaks On school improvement.
 Lunch will be served at noon by the Little Rock delegates at the park in picnic style.
 The meeting will close promptly at 3 o'clock in order to permit the country delegates to return to their homes before night.

rain as Mud Alley, but west of there the rain was much heavier. With our Gravel Ridge correspondent, Miss Gladys Hardcastle, l got one of the best dinners I have had in many a day, and excepting the flour, sugar, salt and coffee, it was all home grown
 I returned to Little Rock through Brushy Island Wednesday and took particular observation of the country through which l passed.
 Jno. Kelley, who is farming on 2 large scale just across Kellog Creek. informed me that a crossing on that creek was declared a public road by the first county judge, Judge Hill, and that he is going to build bridge across the creek there to get road started. Little Rock should see to 1t that this road is built through Brushy Island to a connection with the Jack sonville road from Gravel Ridge at the bridge across Bayou Meto. This road will be the most direct route to Jacksonville, and will lessen the dis tance from Gravel Ridge and Mud Alley to Little Rock one-half and at the same time will open up for set tlement rich virgin country, right at Little Rocks front door. The route is practical and it will be an easy matter to build road over it.
 There is an indian curiosity near the home of John Lee, on Brushy ls- land, about seven miles from Little Rock, which will well repay frequent visits.
 It is a spring dug out of the solid rock The hole is about fifteen inches in diameter, and of the same depth, just large enough to dip a bucket of water out of. The water contains iron, probably some sulphur and 2 little oil. The water enters from tie bottom, through small hole about one-half inch in diameter. The water has many healing qualities. one oi which is that infamed eyes will be cured after three baths in it. MT Lees grandfather was one of the first to see the spring after the Amer ican occupation and the spring was then, about 100 years ago, about as it now is.
