Liaht From the Earth.

The darkest part of the sky is al ways aglow. The earth itself gives off a lot of light. Scientists of the Franklin institute have measured this earth light and have found that it is of the order of one-tenth part of the intensity of a star of the first order oi magnitude It is attributed, at least partially, to a permanent aurora bore. alis which is revealed by the charac teristlc green ray observed on ob scure nights in the whole heavens.

All in the Vision.

Some people think that everything in the world is twisted and corrupt, and that no human being can be trusted. Others who are wiser feel very differently about it, As Ruskip says Tn all things throughout the world, the men who look for the crooked will see the crooked, and the man who looks for the straight will see the straight"

MORE POULTRY
THE NECESSITY OF PRODUCING AN EXTRA POUND OF POULTRY PRO- DUCT FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN THE UNITED
 STATES.

Before another matching season, the great United States will, no doubt, be in the deepest throes of the world S most cruel war and no one can foretell the countless thousands that may be crying for bread It is up to the United States, the worlds greatest, richest and most resourceful nation, to not only look after the welfare of her own citizens, but to give aid and assistance in supplying food to countless thousands of suffering humanity in the torn and stricken war zone. The great agricul- tural resources of America must pre- pare to assume this burden. Every one of us must do our bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must bear it's share. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most quickly produced meat of all the various sources of our meat supply. Here, we have an opportunity of pro ducing an extra one hundred million pounds if the American farmers, the fanciers and breeders will give their attention to matching during the months of June and July.
 It is a well known fact that the avail able supply of meat products is today the lowest in our country, per capita, in the history of the United States. In order to meet the extremely danger ous condition, we have within ourselves a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be worldwide cry fol food. Let us all join enthusiastically in the propaganda of helping in the probable time of need, by putting forth now every effort to meet, in a measure the demand that is sure to come for un- told quantities of food stuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a greater demand than in the next tWenty-four months that are to follow.
 Let us all try to be a factor in the production of an extra hundred million pounds of poultry meat which is less than one pound additional for each man, woman and child in the United States.
 The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued an estimate that upwards of seven hundred million of dollars is the annual tribute paid by American to the garbage can. Why not convert this into feed to produce poultry and eggs.
 Every home can have a self support ing and profitable flock in the back yard by converting the offal from the table and kitchen into the very choicest of poultry feed. Why such an astound- ing waste. an utter extravaganza that costs Us nearly seven dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States?
 It is not unusual for the fanciers to quit matching with April. Let me urge that matching be continued during the months of June and July in large part of our country. Let the old hen do her part-fill up the incubators- keep them going through these months the results will be worth while. Let us be prepared to consume every bit of table and kitchen scraps and make them a SOllrca of pr0fit

In Memory of Ardath Thurman

On Monday, May 2l, 1917, a dark shadow was cast over the ho me of Mr. and Mrs. J. w. Thurma an of Grand View. Ark, when the death angel came to claim their sweet little daughter, Ardath. She was only sick 48 hours with scarlet fever although never bless ed with good health Ardath was a bright and cheerful little girl and carried sunshine where ever she went. Her death comes as dark shadow to her friends and relatives who loved her so dearly, but cannot mar our memory and when a brittle thread that holds a pure and innocent life like that of Ardath is broken, although it leaves many broken hearts, the grief of loved ones should be lessened by the knowl- edge that she has gone where sick ness and pain and death are unknown "Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding Der the spells that death has won,
 We would at this solemn moment Calmly say: "Thy will be done Ardath is gone but not forgotten
 Never will her memory fade,
 Sweetest thoughts will ever finger
 Around the grave where she is faid. Dear father, mother and brothers, We ask in this sad world of grief
 That you will take your troubles to Jesus,
 And he will give you sweet relief.
 Farewell, farewell, dear Ardath, There are none to our hearts more dear, It is hard to give you up, dear Ardath, But your presence makes heaven more dear. Yet again we hope to meet you
 When this weary life is OCT And in heaven with joy to greet you We shall meet to part no more.

School Notes

The school quit work for the first time in the year last Friday and went for picnic. The mill dam on Osage was the objective point and although the day was lowering an early start was made the boys being we'll laden with lunch baskets.
 Jupitu Pluvius was propitious for once and the day cleared up, but the rain of the night before had filled the creek and the fish coyly refused even to nibble, but the lunch was demolished and happy day was spent and at eventide the tired picnickers wended their way homeward, Geo. Firestone proudly bearing the one lone trophy, six ounce cat fish, or more properly, kitten fish.
 The sermon for the graduates will be preached at the M E. church, South. by Rev. Sherman, next Sunday even ing at 8 clock. Music will be furnish ed by the school.
 The high school chorus will sing at the flag raising exercises next Tuesday
 Letter from Ft. Logan, Colo
 We are permitted to extract the following from a recent letter written to Mr. and Mrs. G. H. lanes, from their son, Thomas, who is in army service, stationed at Ft. Logan, Colo. He says: ''I am at the fort yet and will be here for some time. 1 am on guard duty. There are three recruit compa- nies here and each one has twenty one men for guard every third day. We drill one day, rest one day and go on guard one day. They are sending out about one thousand recruits a week here now. We have all we can eat and it is put out in good shape. We have good quarters to stay in, steam heat and electric lights in our barracks. "
 "How is every thing down in Arkansas? It is raining here-when it don't rain t snows. There is snow on the mountains here the year round. My mind wanders back to the warm days spent in Arkansas this spring. Hope this will find you all well.
 Your low 2 son,
 Thomas lanes. :"
