MUSIC STUDY CLUB
HELPS RED CROSS

/One of the most liberal donations
yet made to the Red Cross fund was
that of the Music Study Club of Amer
icus, when it gave the last cent in the
treasury to the cause.
A meeting of this branch of the
State Federation was held Thursday
al the Carnegie library and this decis-
ion was reached at that time. This
money, amounting to $4,000 repre-
sents hard work by this earnest org
anization for good many months past
and was the fund which they were col
lecting, little by little, with which to
purchase a piano for the use of the
club. The members, however, feel
that there is no grander, no better use
to which this money could be put than
to give it to the uses of the Red Cross,
which they consider so much more
important at this time than any per-
sonal or club benefit that could be de-
rived from it. They feel too that the
knowledge that our boys at the front
will receive care, medical attention
and maybe be saved from death itself,
will more than repay them for the
self denial practiced by them in MAX
ing this donation.

Worlds Whirfing Wonder, Greatest
of All Women Skaters, Especially
for The Day-Book.l

They think 1 am wonderful when
I do circles backward, but it is not as
hard as some simpler looking figures.
The first thing to do is what is
called "scuIling." In learning to
skate backward it's better to have
a friend help you.
"ScuIHng" is making wavy lines on
the ice by swaying from side to side
and throwing the balance Of the
body from one edge to he other. Do
this often enough and you will dis
cover you are making slight out
side edge on each side as your/body
changes balance.
Take the, foot which you are not
skating on off the ice, carry it for
ward and thrust to the outside edge
of the skating foot. Increase the
size Of this edge and you will soon

In the open ground we may safely plant radishes. lettuce. tur- nips, peas. beets, carrots. onions. spinach, kale, Swiss chard, pota- toes and mustard. For the small seeds which are planted it is good idea to see that the soil is 6rmed over them as soon as planting is done. See that the crust is kept broken over the rows so that the seed can come up when ready. Keep on the lookout for the appear anCe of insects. Cabbage worms. potato bugs and other leaf eating insects can be easily controlled by dusting the plants with arsenate of lead powder or by dasting with a mixture of equal parts of air slaeked lime and Paris Green. Arsenate of lead powder is always to be pre- ferred to Paris Green as the latter will cause burning of tender plants.

FARMING A BUSINESS.

Farming is now recognized as business and to win you must use business methods. The time is past when the farm products can be loaded up and hauled to town at any time, regardless of the condi- tion of the markets. No business farmer is satisfied to take just what he can get at almost any time for his products. If farm is to bring the greatest profits, a farmer must always take advantage of the best market. To be a producer is only half the game. Good salesmanship is also essential. Remember the law of supply and demand always holds good and determines the price of any product. When the markets are glutted prices are always poor. The way to keep off the glutted market is to read the market re- ports, and sell when the price is right.

HALF AND HALF NOT MERcHANr4RLE.

S%L/ S ss sS ek sa y7a HALF AND HALF NOT MERcHANrARLE.
 As a result of the warning issued by the U. s. Department of Agri- culture, the Little Rock Cotton Ex- change has amended it's rules so that cotton known as half and half and other varieties producing staple less than zz8 of an inch in length are declared unmerchantable and may be rejected by the buyers if they see fit to do so. In the warning issued it is said that as the variety of seed planted IS the pri- mary factor in determining the length If staple and as there are early maturing prolific varieties which produce a staple of at least an inch n length, no farmer or com munity is justified in planting an in- fenor variety or in expecting taa full market price for q deoased art iole of commerce. h view of the approaching planting season, the Department wishes to reiterate. these warnings for the benefit of the entire cotton belt. The pro- ducers of cotton for their own well fare ought to heed this advice and should exercise judieious care in selecting seed. Farmers should not plant variety of cotton that usually produces a staple of less than >8 of an inch in length because the short staple comes in direct competition with the inferior cotton of india and because competent buyers discriminate against ex- tfemely short staple. he farmer who produces cotton of the better quality in counties where half and half is grown is unjustly injured because the buyers in Arkansas usually buy in hog lots from mer- chants and this short staple when discovered is always discrminated against to the disadvantage of the better cotton in the lot. Let US  help keep Arkansas cotton from de- teriorating into an inferior product.
 WHY NOT HAVE A GOOD COW?
 Give the children milk instead of tea or coffee. According to a bull letin recently issued by the Pasteur Institute of Paris, milk as a natural stimulent is highly recommended. In this bulletin they state that milk should be used to take the place of alcoholic drinks in the trenches as well as in the hospitals. This is an interesting statement when we re- member that milk is the most i'm portant food for growing children. In addition, it contains everything needed by the baby and everything but iron required by the adult. Milk will not only help make healthy robust children but if used freely by adults will save the meat bills and make the serving of a well bal anced diet easy.
