Unhappy In Friendship.

Many people expect too much from their friends. They may themselves be so thoroughly genuine and sincere that they expect all their friends to bs the same, and when they discover little faults in their idols they feel the disappointment most acutely. Do not pitch your standards too hign, hen you are less likely to have your idol shattered. Try to remember that friends will never disappoint us if ws observe two simple rules: CD to find out what they are; e to expect them to be just that.

MAKING EFFORT ID
 AVOID FOOD WASTE

The big planters of the Scott neigh. borhood, near Little Rock. who long have been recognized as the most up anl also the most prosperous, are go- ing. to raise more food and feed stuffs than ever before, and they are making a concerted effort to avoid waste.
 It is not necessity that compels them to do this, for all of them are financially able to buy practically any thing they want But it is their idea that by avoiding waste they can sdo their bit" toward making more food available for shipment to the Allics in Europe.
 The idea first was suggested by H. c. Brown, secretary of the Scott Cot ton Growers Association and one of the most enthusiastic members of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. Mir. Brown is practicing what he breaches, for he has installed in his home corn grinder. Instead of buy ing flour, he buys wheat and makes it into four with his corn grinder. He uses less wheat and saves four dollars barrel, and he says that the whole wheat bread is much more paltabls than that made from the ordinary commercial -four He intends to stick to whole wheat four, war or no war.
 MT. Brown outlined his ideas at a meeting yof the wives and daughters of the Scott planters. and they hayo entered enthusiastically into the cam paign to eliminate waste They have held meetings with Mrs. Houston Gean. teacher of domestic science in the Scott school, and she has suggest. ed many ways of saving.
 Also MT Brown has suggested to the planters that they talk to the ne groes on their plantations and urge them to avoid waste. For one thing, he said, that most negro tenants have more dogs than they need, and that if the surplus dogs were killed, some saving would be made. He said that many negro tenants keep horse just to drive around on Sundays, animals that are not really needed for work. He suggested that such animals could be sold to persons who really need them, and to whom the cost of feed. ing would not be an unnecessary ex- pense.
 Too much cannot be said on tho subject of raising more feed and food" says MT Brown. However, we feel that the conservation side of the question has been overlooked, and We feel that if properly investigated and handled, just as much good can be done as by the production of more food crops. It is very hard for people who always have had plenty to believe that in a few months the necessities of life may be scarce and hard to get. But remember that the people of Flu rope are living on half rations to none at all, and we must feed them or they will starve. This war may last only few months and it may last for years, especially if Russia should make a separate peace.
 There are many ways by which each of us can cut down our living ex- and the value of what we eat and while we may be able to buy all we want, we should remember that the food that we can do without and thus save, leaves that much to help some one who needs it"

for supper, bitterly denounced the en- tire case { as "frameup," which he said was conceived in shame and in- iquity," and brought into existence with the assistance of an "anscrupu- lous detective" (MeGraw) and a 'Ju- das Iscariot" (Burgess). He attrib- uted the entire case to a conspiracy to ruin Sims, and ascribed motives of vengeance to Prosecutor Dunaway and Mayor Charles E. Taylor. Anger over removal of MT. Dunaway's name from the proposed University Removal Board" by Sims while a senator, and controversy over an alleged Little Rock milk trust" involving the city milk inspection department were the motives attributed to MT. Dunaway and Mayor Taylor by MT. Rogers.
 Heated denunciation of McGraw, the detective. the Burns detective agency and detectives in general. formed a part of the address of MT. Rogers. He declared that such detec- tiyes are expected to get results, "by fair means or foul" and that they "al- ways manage to come home with the bacon" MT. Rogers charged McGraw with conceiving dirty scheme to rob a man of his name and position by manufactured evidence"
 Says Money Slipped in Pocket.
 MT. Pogers charged that the money found on Sims had been slipped into his pocket by the detectives while they were pretending to search him for a gun" He closed his address with an impassioned appeal for jus tiee for Sims, not only for his own sake. but the sake of his wife and children and aged father. and drew a picture of the judgment which he said must some day come to those who hatch four schemes to murder char acter and reputation"
 Just preceding MT. Rogers address Colonel Murphy closed an eloquent appeal in which he also charged a vicious. conspiracy" aimed at get ting Sims. Colonel Murphy especial ly attacked the way in which he said Sims had been robbed of his constitu- tional rights to make bond and seek counsel on the night of his arrest. He declared that MT. Dunaway and Mayor Taylor had combined to violate the most sacred rights of free men" by depriving Sims of freedom, the com fort of friends and the advice of coun- sel. He characterized the affair as "an iniuitous proceeding." He laid stress upon evidence which showed that MT. Dunaway asked Judge w k. Woodruff not to fix bond for Sims, or if it was fixed, to set it so high it could not be made. He also re- ferred to the way in which Sims was refused liberty, even after bond had been made. and how new charges were preferred before non-active justice of the peace, who could not be found later by friends anxious to secure bail.
 Colonel Murphy declared that the trading stamp bill had been killed be- fore the detective McGraw met Sims for the first time.

For number of years need has been felt
among irrigation companies for meter that
would record the quantity of water delivered
to irrigators in definite units of acre-feet, and
at the time a meter that would be low
priced, reliable, and free from much of the
usual attention required by recording devices
now on the market The Lyman Meter is the
result of seven years experimenting and is the
fulfillment of this long felt want.
1t is simple in construction compact, small
in size and weighs less than five pounds 1t is
not affected by silt weeds in the water and
is sensitive to the slightest fluctuations in the
weir discharge. It be quickly and easily
installed on weir by anyone and requires no
other than ordinary attention during the irri
cation season.
1t is the simplicity of construction of the Ly
man Meter, and It's freedom from complicated
parts that make it trustworthy as well as low
priced
Every irrigated farm should have one.
The sale of only 5000 meters will make this
stock worth 100000 per share
