GIVE THE BOYS AND GIRLS
 A CHANGE

In a recent speech before the Senate of the State Legislature, Senator Walker Smith of Mag nolia in support of the bill for an appropriation for agricul- tural extension work in the State during the next biennial period said :"Give the boys and girls a chance. Every county in Arkansas should have a coun- ty agent, if for no other reason than to carry on the club work because boys and girls who be- long to the clubs become inter- ested in the farm and farm life and are not easily attracted to the city. The city has no lure for youngsters with interest in the home place. Fathers and mothers should make their boys and girls partners in the farm ing business and fewer of them will leave the farm. We neeu every Arkansas boy and girl who live in the country today for our future modern, progress sive farmers and housewives. Let them join the 10000 boys and girls now in the club under the direction of the Extension Division and they will receive instructions for better farming methods and housekeeping. Now is the time for the child ren to join one of the several clubs, See your county agent and enroll them as soon as pos sible or write to W. J. Jernigan Old State House, Extension Di- vision, Little Rock.

and numbing his heart. The old

Poggin.
That individual had been considering
Fletcher's appeal.
"Jim, 1 ante up" he said, IAN if
Phil doesn't raise us out with a big
hand-why. he'll get called, an your
pard can set in the game"
Every eye shifted to Knell. He was
dead white. He laughed, and anyone
hearing that laugh would have realized
his intense anger equally with an as
surance which made him master of the
situation.
"POggin, you're a gambler, you are
the ace-high, straight-fush hand of the
Big Bend" he said, with singing
scorn. "I'll bet you my roll to
greaser peso that can deal you a
hand you'll be afraid to play"
''Phil, you're talkin' Wild" growIed
Poggin, with both advice and menace
in his tone.
"If there's anything you hate, it's
man who pretends to be somebody else
when he's not. Tibet sol"
Poggin nodded In Strengthening

"NEW T0LSTOY" IN RUSSIA
Litterateurs Have Become Excited
Over the Work of Ivan AIexei-
witch 5unin.

The May issue of the Russkaya
Mysl (Moscow), leading Russian
monthly, contains remarkable re-
view of story that had been pub
lished in Russia some months ago, ac-
COrding to the American Review of
Reviews. The author of the story is
Ivan AleXeiyitch Bunin, widely
known Russian poet, and its title is
The Gentleman From San Francisco"
1t Is perhaps no eXaggeration to say
that no other story that has appeared
In Russia in recent years has been ac-
corded such warm welcome as 1.-THE
Gentleman From San Francisco" And
this Is the more remarkable when one
considers that Bunin is by no means a
young or unknown figure on the Rus
sian literary field His reputation as
poet of high quality was made long
ago. He is now In his late fOrtles. In
1912 the honorary degree of academI-
clan was conferred upon him, and dur
ing the last twenty-five years Russian
critics have had opportunity to study
Bunin's literary powers and to learn
their potentialities and limits. This,
however, did not prevent him from
taking the literary world by storm
with his latest production.
The Bulletin of Literature and Life,
a monthly of high literary standard.
was the first to break to the Russian
world in recent issue the news that
Bunin's new story is nothing like any
of his former works. AS soon as at
tention was attracted to it, the periodi-
cal press began to write about it, COM
mending "The Gentleman From San
Francisco" in glowing and enthusiast

The little outlaw camp, with its
shacks and cabins and row of houses,
lay silent and dark under the paling
moon. Duane passed by on the lower
trail, headed into the road, and put
Bullet to a gallop. He watched the
dying moon, the waning stars, and the
east. He had time to spare, so he
saved the horse. Knell would be leay-
ing the rendezvous about the time
Duane turned back toward Ord. Be
tween noon and sunset they would
meet.
The night wore on. The moon sank
behind low mountains in the west. The
stars frightened for a while. then
faded. Gray gloom enveloped the
world, thickened, lay like smoke over
the road. Then shade by shade it
llghtened, until through the transpar-
ent obscurity shone dim light.
Duane reached Bradford before
dawn. He dlsmounted some distance

gaze riveted upon Poggin. There was
something leonine about Poggin. He
was tawny. He blazed. He seemed
beautiful. But looked at closer with
glance seeing the physical man, instead
of that thing which shone from him, he
was of perfect build, with muscles
that swelled and rippled, bullying his
clothes, with the magnificent head and

jaguar.
