Shiloh Notes

l ne Idr1eTS are dlilOoC thiO gathering their crops. and the! are still finding out that they ar' shorter still than we thought a first.
 Moving will soon be in ordel with the farmers and 1 find tha there will be many changes made in our community.
 RE Hawkins has begun work on his new bungalow for his home, just | mile south ot Shiloh, and when finished will be an ideal country home. We are glad to see our neighborhooc build up.
 G " Young anticipates build ing him nice bungalow. He has the plans ready and expects to begin work as soon as he can get the material. Another live man around Shiloh.
 We have quite a few live men around Shiloh and we had the opportunity of locating every one of them on last Sunday. in Pine Ridge township, when there was call for contribu- tion for the Y M c A work. Dr. Williams, Pres. of Galloway Col lege, delivered the grandest messages that 1 almost ever heard. Then he was followed by Mir Smith, one of the Y M c A Army Sec'ys. who made a powerful appeal to the people. Those men are worth their weight in gold anywhere. 1 can't see how any man with one drop of Christian or patriotic blood in them could stand idle and not respond. Bro. Hoy made a few remarks that were to the mark and made the call for contributions which amount ed to $247. 40 in cash and $50.00 in subscriptions, and our esteem ed friends west of the line be- tween the two churches. would not rally with us and it was left up to Shiloh to raise the allot- ment for Pine Ridge. am proud to say that. with $23. 40 given by the negroes and a few dollars subscribed by some loyal people who live out of the township helping us. we raised our share. Hurrah for Shilohl When you are in Pine Ridge looking for loyal people you can find them always at Shiloh. In our next weeks notes we propose to send in the names of everyone that helped in the Y M C A work out here. We sincerely hope that every American citizen will wake up to a sense If their duty until there can't be a stacker found anywhere, for it is our homes and loved ones, our soldier boys and their souls that are at stake. To think for one moment of being a stacker, God forbid. for it is up to us to line up with sacrifices of all kind. Some will have to give their lives, while others expect to give their time and talent, and the sooner it is placed before the people in the right way. the better 1t will be, for 1t seems that some of our people need to be educated in that light.
 Shiloh IS going to lose it's we'll loved and the finest workers that the Methodist Conference has ever been able to send to us, Rev H c Hoy, who intends go- ing as a I'M c A Sec'y. We will miss him and his kind wife who is ever ready to help in every possible way. but if they do go, we bid them God speed.

Most of European Rulers Have Also Become MonarChs
 In the World of Business

Royalty does other things than rul- ing. In the business world many or Europe's crowned heads are said to have achieved notable success, the fol lowing examples of which are pointed out by writer in Tit-Bits:
 The king of Spain is the proprietor of a large motor and bicycle factory near Madrid.
 The kaiser runs a cafe at Potsdam, close to his castle gates. He also re- ceives large dividends from a lager beer brewery in Hanover; and he Is the sole owner of the big and flourish ing porcelain works at Cadinen, which return him profit of about per cent on a capital of $5OO,OOO.
 King Peter of Servia owns shaw ing saloon and chemists shop in Bel. grade. Before the war, his majesty was the agent for well-known French motor car.
 The queen of Holland supplies from her dairy, near the palace at Het Loo, a large proportion of milk con- sumed by buyers in Amsterdam.
 Before the war the king of Wurt- temberg drew net profit of at least $5O,000 year from the hotels he owned in the Black Forest.
 The beautiful queen of sorely strick- en Roumania started, few years ago, a factory for manufacturing tooth picks. So successful was this enter prise before the war, that her majesty was able to make quite comfortable income out of it.
 The czar of Russia is a timber mer- chant. The duke of Ulrich of Wurt. temberg owns one of the largest cor set factories in the world. The grand duke of Saxe-Weimer is butcher.
 Archduchess Frederick of Austria invested nearly $2,500,000 In candle making factory near Budapest. The king of Denmark confines his commer- cial ventures to the stock exchange, and has made many considerable deals"
 The king of Sweden has a large in- terest In Stockholm brewery. A large brandy distillery interests the new emperor of Austria.
 King Albert of Belgium, when a young man, eourted fiekle fortune as a reporter on an American paper at a salary of $15 a week.
 The king of Bulgaria enjoys the rep- utation of being the shrewdest and wiliast of all royal business men. He owns theaters, cinemas, tobacco facto- ries, dairies and has made eonsidera- ble sums on the Austrian stock ex- change.

CORN NEEDED FOR
 BREAD---S SAVE II
Do Not Feed Corn To Your Stock Utilize Pastures-Corn Will Soon
 Be Needed For Bread.
By L. W. Osborn, College of Agricul tura TInivarsifv of Arkansas

By l.. w. Osborn, College of Agricul
 ture, University of Arkansas.
 Save the corn as far as possible in feeding the live stock. The wheat crop is short and we may need our corn for bread before another year. Be sure to use your pastures to the best advantage. Have plenty Of COW peas, soy beans, peanuts and sorghum. Remember, hogs make their biggest and cheapest gains on these crops. Use corn only to harden hogs. Pork hardened on corn ration two or three weeks before planting is found to be quite acceptable to packers.
 Spanish peanuts planted we'll along in July will mature and can be blow ed out and cured on poles in the field in the usual way The nuts can pe picked and marketed for oil or con fectionary purposes. and the tops ssed for hay. Soy beans can be cut for hay or allowed to mature and harvested for seed if the season is long enough. There is a shortage in the supply of Mammoth soy beans at this time, and a good demand for seed is likely to prevail next season. Paint manufao. turers are making a strong bid for supplies for soy bean seed to be used in making oil Cowpeas can be har vested profitably for hay and the seed obtaired at the same time. Late corn can usually be used to best advan- tage when the entire crop is harvested and the whole plant used for feed.
