Mendoza Is Old CITY.

Mendoza is the metropolis of west

size carefully planned and able to
stand comparison with any town in the
new world or the old one the point of
municipal beauty. It looks distinctly
new, but as q matter of fact it is one
of the oldest towns in the western hem

SUPERSTITION or GEN. GRANT
Union Commander Believed Il Bad
Luck TO Turn and Retrace
His Steps

The country folk in the vicinity of
Grants boyhood home We're as super
sdtous as was the general run of
rural people in that day. One thing
grow ont ef these notions that fixed
itself permanently in the mind of the
youthful Grant thar had, no doubt
marked effect on his later life.
lie says that>he came firmly to be
lieye that 1t meant bad luck for one to
turn round and retraee his steps when
ON a journey. One might, with impu-
nifty return home without reaching his
intended destination, but he must do
It By another road--not the same one
he Travelled in going.
This feeling my have had some
thing to do with his entrance at West
Point. It is commonly known that his
appointment was not of his choosing,
but that Of his father. Grant himself
hung back and had to be pressed TO
go to the academy. Even after he was
well on his way-at Philadelphia and
New York-he sincerely hoped that
@'fiti4 dttItlt.ili lliI-lil ithItllth liAhA
would make his return imperative. But
he would not turn round and retrace
his steps.
The feeling seems % have grown
gradually into set rule with him that
after having set out to go anywhere,
or 10 do anything, be must 20 to the
end of the thing, and there must be
no such thing as turning back. That
was characteristic of his course in the
Civil war when he rose to positions in
which he had supreme decisions to
make.
The only time in his life when he
seemed near to breaking in on this rule
was when, after the Mexican war, he
decided to resign from the army and
change the whole course of his life up
to that time. But for the Civil war
that called him back, it is likely that
he would hardly have been heard from
again.

SHUTTING UP THE STORE
Visitors to South America Surprised
to Find the Shops Closed at
Night.

1t Is rather surprising to the for
eigner visiting South American eoun-
tries for the first time to find most
Of the best and prettiest shops almost
Dramatically sealed at night. If the
building IS of the older style of CON
struction the heavy shutters are closed
and locked by iron bars if a more
modern building, the flexible sliding
doors and windows are completely
drawn, and the passer-by can see
nothing within the shop.
All Is darkness save the light of the
street lamps; no brilHantly-lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to the street.
In European and American cities
the average merchant is willing to
spend money freely for nightly dis
play of his wares and merchandise
He realizes and appreciates the pub
lefty. The evening crowds upon our
streets are highly entertained and
even instructed by window displays
of the busy streets.
Herein lies the difference; for, as
q rule. the South American streets,
busy and attractive during the day,
are quite the reverse at night. Even
in some of the larger cities the old
custom 81 Theoretically sealing the
shop at night prevails.

A careful plowman can use the mare

with the mare ten days or two weeks
after the colt is born, provided the
work is reasonably light and the mare

It is not necessary that the colt fol

KEEP LAND BUSY;

As Soon as One Crop Is Off tho Land

Help feed the Arkansas troops and
their horses. Put something on stub
BILE land as soon as possible, and do
everything to help produce a surplus.
Make your land work as far as posi-
BILE all the time. As soon as the oat
and wheat crops are off the land. plant
something and keep the teams and la
borers busy. Remember, you are
working for Arkansas now.
The crops which can still be plant
ed at this season Of the year are the
old stand-bys-the eoWpeas, peanuts,
sorghum and sweet potatoes. Aside
from these can be mentioned the soy
bean and late corn. The velvet bean
can still be planted for forage or soil
improvement. The yields of forage
from these late planted crops are good
even though lighter than can usually
be expected from the earlier plant
ings. A combination of sorghum and
COW peas, seeded with a grain drill,
will probably produce as large a yield
of forage as anything. Corn planted
in rows five or six feet apart with
cowpeas, soy beans. or peanuts, drill.
ed through the middle is a good prac-
tice where grain is desired and the
forage can be pastured Planting
cowpeas or soy beans in the row with

except in the sense that It was ex-

Now, It is proposed there be a de-

Cost Control New Issue.
Government control OF coal and
metal prices is a new issue which
has lately become acute in Congress
and no doubt will lbe met.
Other propositions might be men,
toned which have arisen or will be-
come prominent though they were
little heard Of at the outset OF the
war.
The more the United States be-
Games involved in the war, the more
new legislation questions of i'm
portance may be expected to force
themselves to the front.
Remaining for consideration in the
way OF first-class legislative matters
before Congress in the original pro-
gram of the Administration are the
food control bill. the war tax bill,
and the Webb export bill.
Probably not far from two months
will be required before all these
measures will be enacted. The food
control bill will consume the rest OF
this month and probably more in the
Senate. On the war tax bill the Sem
ate will need a month for discussion.

Congress will be in Washington
until the day days and then some, in
the opinion OF the wise ones about

years.

TENDER !. and some of the least op-
timistlc say the extra session will run
into the regular one next December,
While the extra session will proba-
bly, not continue through the fall, It
is probable that IT will not be wound
up until well along in August. The
latter part OF August in recent years
has been a favorite time for closing
the session, and this year history
may repeat itself.
May Remain During War.
On the other hand, there is unques-
tionably a strong sentiment in Con-
gress in favor of remaining in ses-

while the war lasts. Many have sug

The developments of the extra ses-
