MISTAk ES WILL HAPPEN

Once in while our attention is called to a typographical error, or a line out of place in the Bee. We are aware that mistakes sometimes happen, but are you aware, dear reader, that the us- ual edition of the Bee contains over 1000 lines of reading matter, or over 10000 words, or charae- ters. Remember that each one of these characters have to be mani pulated one at a time, and then imagine, if you can, any other line of business where so many dis tinet operations are required and where fewer mistakes are made than in the printing of a news paper; and then prehaps, you will not think in strange that typo graphical error should now and then creep into your favorite news paper.-De Queen Bee

SOME WEATHER, THIS

It is to be definitely understood that this little verse on the present beautiful, exquisite, delightful wea- ther was written at noon-t time; while the air was blowing with a breath of spring: as the notes of the first robin and the blue bird were being waited through tthe open door and window, on a most pleasant breeze; and 1t is highly possible, and more than pro- able that before the linotype metal gets cold the weather will be coming through the peach orchards with a whiZz and Whirr. and the thermometer registering close te the zero mark So while We can write of Spring, let $ write.
 You know We have that timid feeling about continuing this breezy essay that February is just around the cor ner, and ohi you February; not only is t the month of St Valentines. Geo. Nashington's birthday, and the rev- ival Of the cherry tree episode; and the natal day of Abraham Lincoln; but t is alse the month most dreaded in this portion of Arkansas. some times We don't haze eiafer here until tie short month of February, and when t does happen, the twenty eight days of the month afe entirely too long. Last yerse-IIere's hopin' that February will have just as much pity on the poor mans coal pile as possible and let us have fishin time again.

CIGARETTES GIVEN JOLT
Smoking Coffin Tacks" Keeping Young Men Out of Good Posi-
 tions-RepIaeed by Women.

Women are displacing young men in factories, offices and in responsible positions because of the male seX's de votion to tobacco. especially in the form of cigarettes, asserted Dr D H. kress, of the Medical and Surgical Sanitarium, Washington D. C in an address the other day at First UniYe- salist Church. Walnut Hills
 "Unjel the immediate stimulus of the cigarette thefa ale hose who are able to do good work, but they wear out early and usually end n a sanitarlum fer treatment" maintained the we'll known dietetian, who is passing ten days in Cincinnati featuring eH health topics advocating vegetarian diet.
 There are more giris= in American high schools than boys. he said, not because boys prefer to and have 10 work, but because so many of them form the cigarette-smoking habit. are unable to concentrate their minds, be come nervous and restless, and after a tune lose all interest in books.

MILLION BUSHELS
 OATS LOST N I9I6
Twelve Per Cent of Crop Is Destroyed By Smut-The Best Remedy
 Is Formaiin.

The plant disease survey made dur ing the last year and covering more than oue-half the counties in the state shows that smut caused the loss or 13 per cent of the oat crop according to the report of J. Lee Hewitt, Plant Pathologist with the University of Ar kansas, who says that there was little disease and loss where the seed had been treated with formalin before planting.
 Ten million bushes of oats were produced in Arkansas in 1916. Twelve per cent of this crop. or 100000 bushels were lost because of smut. The average yield for the state was 27 bushels per acre; consequently, three and one-fourth bushels per acre was the average loss. With oats at 70 cents a bushel, tn average farm price, $156 was the average money loss per acre. By treating seed with formalin before planting with cost of about two cents per acre and the work. this enormous loss to the farm CTS of the state could have been avert ed. Every farmer in Arkansas should see the value of the fomalin treatment and use it before planting the 1917 crop.
 Two Causes of Loose Smut.
 Loose smut may be caused by either of two fungi which are so similar that they may be considered as one in the

The boot some times hides the smutty heads which then appear only as immature or bar ren plants 3 Smut ripens several days before cutting. and may blow away. leaving the smuttv stalks naked and not noticeable
 Smut is parasite plant that grows inside of and feeds upon the oat plant. Smut robs growing oat plants of nour- ishment and weakens them. some times so much that they cannot push their panieles or heads out of the sheath of the upper leaf
