Arkansas Girls College Nationally Patronized
Announces Department of
 Child Welfare

Crescent College and Conservatory for girls has had prepared map of the United States. which is very strik. ing, showing in black those states which have been represented with students in Crescent during the past four years, and the number from each state. It appears that this institution with an enrolment limited to so girls has attracted girls from 3l different states in these four years. And this for a college in Arkansas and only in it's tenth year.
 Arkansas people are not generally aware of the national reputation of Crescent College. Few people know it established a new class of Colleges when in 1909 it annouced itself Junior College. It has set the pace for modern and progressive methods. Its various departments are each year inspected by state universities and it is fully accredited
 Siezing upon the advantage of healthful location at health resort in the Ozark Mountains,it stresses health first, has graduate trained nurse in charge of the hygiene of the school and retains trained dietitian for it's boarding department. It's latest startling announcement is the introduc- ing of school of Child Welfare. offer ing instructions oi, ..3w to feed, bathe, care for and teach babies and childron. It plainly faces the fact that girls are later to be wives and mothers and sets for itself the task of preparing young women for their important duties which will be theirs. This is a question of vital importance and the aim is child conservation. The head Of this department is no other than Mary Breckinridge Thompson, wife of Crescent's President and daughter oi Honorable Clifton R. Breckinridge. Mrs. Thompson is recognised as an authority on Woman and Baby Hygiene.
 Residents of Arkansas will do wei to consider the institution in the selec- ton of a school for their daughters. tfMany of them choose other schools 1T Arkansas because they represent certain churches. without Investigating 1 the high standards and modern methods of this institution. Other select schools ] in other states for the name of going away. or to obtain biz school where ] individual attention is impossible. Crescent girls are prepared to do some 1 thing when they finish, whereas girls from the average school go home ane wait for something to turn up.
 Crescent special departments Music, Art. Expression, Household Arts, ane
 Business. are equipped with specialists of unusual ability and reputation. anc i it's graduates may be found in nearly every state occupying important i positions.
 We think this school which is attract | ing so much attention in other states ] from New York and Connecticut tC California and Washington should draw
 the attention of fathers and mothers in Arkansas. Eureka Springs Times

Iickt me awful hard. If the editor
makes a mistake folks say he ought
to be hung; but if doctor makes any
mistakes he buries them and people
dassent say nothing because doctors
can read and write Latin. When the
editor makes a mistake there is law
suits and a big fuss; but IL a doctor
makes one there is funeral, cut
flowers and perfek silence. A doctor
can use a word a yard long without
him or a.-ybody knowing what IL
means; but if the editor uses one he
has to spell it. If the doctor goes to
see another mans wife he charges
for the visit; but if the editor goes he
gets a charge Of buckshot. When
the doctor gets drunk it's a case of
being overcome by heat and if he dies
its from heart trouble; when an ed1-
tor gets drunk it's a case of too much
booze and if he dies its the Jim jams.

editor has to be born."-Lonaconing

AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS ORGANIZED.
BY COUNTY AGENT GROVER KINZY AND
REUBEN BRIGHAM, STATE BOYS
CLUB AGENT.

Mr. Reuben Brigham, State Boys
Club Agent, with the County Agent
has organized this week agricultural
clubs at Sykesville, Sandy Mount,
Hampstead, Manchester, TaneytoWn,
Uniontown and Westminster under
the leadership of Miss Margaret A.
Carter, Mr.. U. H. Shipley, Mr.. E. K.
Coughran, Mr.. n. E. Basler, Mr.. H. c.
Lester, Mr.. H. B. Fogle and Mr.. c. H.
Kolb respectively. Other clubs will
be organized at Silver Run, Union
Bridge, Middleburg and probably
Gambler. Through these clubs the
State hopes to give every boy in the
county a chance to join either the
State Corn Club, Potato Club, Pig
Club or Poultry Club. Any boy be-
tween the ages of 10 and is in school
or out who shows a desire to be sin
cere in his efforts and willing to fol-
low instructions can join these clubs.
Two boys from each county will again
be taken on the State tour or given
something equally good.
If boy joins the corn club he must
rent an acre of ground, do all the
work himself, and keep an accurate
record of his crop. If he joins the
Potato Club he must rent an eighth
acre of ground, do the work himself,
and keep an accurate record. If he
joins the Pig Club he must buy pig
eight weeks old in April, care for 1t
according to instructions, and keep an
accurate record. And if he joins the
Poultry Club he must set at least
three settings of eggs from pure bred
chickens and raise at least seven pull
lets and one cockerel.
In the autumn a community show
or fair will be held so that the boys
may exhibit their pigs and chickens
and samples of their corn and pOta-
toes and have them judged. Then a
county meet will be held and the win
ners from each section will compete
there for the county prize and lastly
the corn and potatoes can be taken to
Baltimore and entered in the boys
department for the state champion
ship.
The object of the time and effort
spent in establishing these clubs are
we'll summed up by the Department
of Agriculture as:
l. To encourage and train the boys
along the lines of the activities of
country life.
,. To put into practice the facts
of scientific agriculture.
3. To bring the school life of the
boy into closer relationship to his
home life.
+. To assist in the development of
the spirit of cooperation in the fam
lily and in the community.
). To dignity and magnify the vo-
cation of the farmer by demonstrate
ing the splendid returns which may
be secured from farming when it is
properly done.
6. To enlarge the vision of the boy
and to give him definite purposes at
an important period in his life.
I. To furnish to the aggressive, pro-
gressive rural school teacher an OPP
portunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching of
agriculture with actual practice.

to use much more of this native food.
Properly cooked, corn is wholesome
and heartening in variety OF forms.
Ignorant cooks spoil it by too much
shortening or make it need1essly ex-
pensive bv the addition Of eggs. A
New Yorker that sings Dixie has or
pretends to have childhood memories
of corn pone OF more Spartan struc-
ture, fit to rank with the scenes OF
old Scotland as a maker Of men.
1t is odd that a food so rich in cal
cries is more eaten in our South
than in the North. 1t is much the
same in Europe. During the famine
of 1S47 the people Of Ireland did not
know how to use corn sent to them.
Murphy, patriotic evan
gel of a noble food, had little encour-
agement in Germany, though now
they would welcome his goods. In
Southern Italy and Sicily, where they
call it Turkish grain" corn is more
used.-New York World.

FOREST NOTES.

Approximately 1O,39O acres of de-
nuded lands within the National For
ests were reforested in the fiscal year
1916. The total number of trees plant
ed was 6,146,638, while $3.50 pounds
of tree seed were soWn.
There were 133,442 more cattle and
horses, and 605,338 more sheep and
goats using the National Forests in
1915 than in 1915. This increase was
in spite of large Examinations of graz
ing lands from the Forests. 1t is &C
counted for by improved methods Of
handling stock and by more intimate
knowledge of the forage on the
ranges and their carrying capacity.
The number of fires suppressed on
National Forests lands during the
calendar year 1915 was 1924, as
against 7,01S in 1914, and an average
annual number of 4,759 during the
past FIVE years, says Henry S. Graves,
Chief of the Forest Service, in his
annual report just published. While
more than the average number of
fires occurred the timbered area burn
ed over was but 155 ,416 acres, or 80
Der cent. less than the average per
year for the period 1911-1915 1nclus-
i've. The average loss per fire was
s6O,41. Forty-four per cent of the fires
we're confined to areas OF less than
One-auarter of an acre.

THE Rid WAS RIGHT.

A little boy was given the stunt by
his father to write an essay on edi
tors, and here is the result: Il don't
know how newspapers come to be in
the world. | don't think God does
for he hain't got nothing to say about
them and editors in the Bible. I think
the editor is one of the missing links
you read Of and stayed in the bushes
until after the flood; and then came
out and wrote the thing up and has
been ever since. 1 never saw dead
one or heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is mighty good one; but
the editor goes without underclothes
all winter and don't wear any socks,
and paw amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. asst paw if
that was why the editor had to suck
the Juice out of snowballs in the winter
and 20 to bed when he had a shirt
washed in the summer. And then paw
took me out in the woodshed and
