SIX ARRESTED
FOR FIGHT AT
PEACE MEETING

Baltimore, April 2.-Six men are
awaiting jury trial today charged with
disorderly conduct in connection with
the patriotic demonstration which cut
off an address that DR.. David Starr
Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stanford,
Jr., university, was delivering last
night at a pacifist meeting.
While the meeting, under the aus
pices of the American League Against
Militarism, was in progress in the
Academy Of Music, a counter demon
stration was organized I'D front Of the
Baltimore City college, adjoining the
theatre. The crowd of anti-pacifists
was made up largely of prominent
business men, educators and students,
among them Profs. Rober. W. Wood
and John H. Latane Of Johns Hopkins
university and r. Lancaster Williams,
a banker.
banker, carrying an American flag, the
anti-pacifsts attempted to enter The
theatre but the doors, which open
outward, were guarded by policemen,
who succeeded in clearing the street.
The crowd returned, however, and
pushed Osbourn, the standard bearer,
up the steps. A police captain tried
to wrest the flag away and when it dis
appeared the crowd behind Osbourn
swept the police aside and with a roar
burst into the building.
Police reserves summoned from all
over the city broke up the crowd and
the meeting ended. Douglas G. Ober,
one Of those, arrested, was so badly
beaten that he had to be taken to
hospital.

said to have been poisoned within the
last two days in Kane and Washing

could not give any information as to
the poisons involved in the range

ion that waterholes on the ranges had
been poisoned.
The trouble is supposed to have

result Of litigation in the courts of
Prescott, Ariz., between cattle and
sheep men concerning the availability
OF grazing lands on the Arizona bor-
der.

Green feed for Hogs.

Green forage crops should sup ply most of the feed for hogs this fall and winter. Practical farmers have learned that corn alone is very expensive for hogs during pe- riods of normal prices. At the present price it is prohibitive. If hogs are to be grown with profit corn must be supplemented by green grazing. Right now every farmer should SOW a few acres of wheat, oats, rye, bur or crimson clover. In many cases these crops can be sown ID the cotton or corn middles. The earlier these crops are put in the more pasture will be furnished.
 If crimson clover is soWn on land for the first time there must be proper inoculation. This may be done by treating the seed with ln- oculation material that can be se- cured free of charge from the U. s. Department of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. c. It may also be se- cured from seed houses. Bur clo- yer seed. if sown in the bur, carry the inoculation. On good soil noth- ing will make more winter grazing than rape. The seed are cheap and only about four pounds are re- quired per acre. A seeding may be made now and another one in February. Rape makes fine mix ture with wheat or oats.

Unnecessary Economic Waste.

The Missouri Pacific railway company has issued and distri- buted large poster over the terri tory covered by their line showing the loss of live stock by careless ness and give the number of each kind of animals killed by the rail- roads of Missouri. Arkansas and Louisiana in the past five years. a large part of which could have been prevented by proper precaution.
 The enormous annual waste of live stock in this manner is valued at approximately $8.oOO,OoO and enough to provide with meat an army of l,5OO,OOO men for a month. Surely this is an oppor- tunity for economy in which every one may have a part. And it should be the pleasure of every citizen to assist the railroads to minimize this loss as much as pos sible during the war at least.

READS TABLETS OF AGES AGO
University Professor Discovers Funda. mentaIs of Christian Religion
 Were Evolved 2,5oo 8. c.

Dr. Stephen Langdon has just de- ciphered tablets in the University of Pennsylvania museum which are thou- sands of years old.
 The doctrine of Messianic hope, of the expectation of deliverance from sin and suffering by Goldman in the shape of a king, goes back to at least 2.500 B. o. when the Sumerlan theologians evolved theory which has been the basis of Jewish and Christian religion ever since, accord ing to his discoveries.
 The new tablets are of interest be- cause they show that the Sumerians never lost hope that the restoration to state of sinlessness and happiness through the agency of the gods would come and their faith was pinned on earthly kings who were deifled and worshipped In the hope that one would be deliverer. Elaborate rituals were made for all of them, but each failed. Then came the Semitic con- quest of Sumer and the era of pessim- ism set in, as shown by the famous epic of Gilgamish, one missing book Of which has just been found in the

OLD ALBUM FIRST ANTHoLo oGY
Present-Day Passion for Gathering Favorite Passages of Prose and
 Poetry More Than Fad.

It is small wonder that the number of anthologies should be increased with every season, since the passion for making them, so far from being 6 literary fad. has its roots at the very heart of human nature. In one way or another we are all collectors, and the desire to group together in a sin gle volume our favorite passages of poetry and prose is at least as old as the Illuminated manuscripts of the monasteries.
 Moreover, in the generation immedi- ately preceding our own, this taste was particularly 1uxuriant; and the first anthologies of the current fashion may be found in those albums of our grandmothers, of which every family preserves a few, where the melodies of Moore and the lyrical fervors of Mrs. Hemans are engrossed in the neatest and most angular of calig- raphy. And nowadays, when every thing that is written and collected seems to find it's way into print sooner or later, nothing is more natural than that every man or woman of letters should be represented by his own par ticular anthology. as sort of sign manual of taste and erudition. The custom has also conspicuous ad vantages. for even the most capricfous collection must needs contain many indisputable jewels, and for these there can never be too many, nor too frequent readers. =. Speaking gen. orally, then, 1t may be said with jus tice that there can scarcely be too many of these aids to culture, and that the more deeply they penetrate into the leisure reading of the student, the more thoroughly will his appreciation for what Is best in literature be fos-

Arkansas Recruits for Army.

Since the declaration of war on April 6, Capt. N. M. Cartmell, U. s. recruiting officer for Arkansas, has furnished approximately 1.4OO men out of the 5000 the state was asked for. They are still be- ing accepted on an average of six a day, from the ten stations in the state. The regular army is now 3O,OOO above it's authorized strength, but men are still being accepted for the service to be held in reserve. The heavy increase in enlistments is shown in the follow ing distribution of the l,744 men who have enlisted for the regulars in the last year: September 46, October AZ, November 51, De- cember 8o. January 100, February 65. March "A. April 288, May 353, June 188, July 263, August 2Oz.
 Capt. Cartmell hopes after cot ton picking is over that he will be able to secure more negroes for the stevedore service, only 2l having been accepted to date. Thirty-one negroes have been accepted for the medical service and only two are needed to fill the Arkansas quota.

Nippur collection of the University

Nippur collection of the University museum.
 The Semites had no such Messianic hope, since the story of Gilgamish, hero of the epic of Gilgamish, is the antithesis of the restoration of Para. disc, and this is the more important because Gilgamish himself was half god. It is presumed that the Jews got their idea of Messiah from the Sumerian epics rather than from their own congeners in Babylonia.
 The discovery is considered import ant because it shows that the Su- merians who first gave an account of the creation, flood and fall of man, which were adopted by the Jews, also provided the first theme of God man who should suffer death and re- deem the people from the loss of paradise. All of these documents date from before the time of Abraham and apparently are copies of those much older. The Fundamentals of Jewish and Christian religion are shown in tablets at least 4,5OO years old.
