Stop And Think.

Where is. Crittenden County
along educational lines today?
First let us take a brief review;
The schools. a few years ago
were not standardized, and
graded; the school fair was I'M
known, there was little, if any
destruction made between the
teacher who prepared to teach
and the one that 'crammei" for
examination. Our attendance
was As per cent of all the children
within school age, less than half.
Parents were uninterested.
But let us turn from the dark
picture of the past and joyfully
gaze upon the present.
Our schools are graded, giving
the country child the same ad-
vantages, as the city child. We
have a splendid school fair each
year of which Crittenden County
is proud.
Our teachers are better pre-
pared. We have a county agent
whose great educational work in
agriculture We cannot estimate,
and who would have been i'm
possible to obtain had not our
people been awake to education
al interests. Our attendance
has greatly increased from AS
per cent to SO per cent. Over half
are now getting what belongs to
them, due to the fact that the
parentS are more interested.
As we note the great forward
march of our county, we stop to
ask, what caused the revolution.
And which one volume we al
will say. The right man 20. i

THE RICHES OWNED BY
KENTUCKY FARMERS

The farmer to-day represents new
generation of intelligent, independent,
thrifty people with money and incina-
ton to be progressive. The farm prod
ucts of this year bring to the farmers and
planters probably five billion dollars,
which would prove that they could corner
the money market Of this country if they
got together and used it as one man.
Strength, strenuosity And the future
health of the American people depend
upon our country folks. As q rule,
country folk are hcalthierihan those who
live in our crowded cities. Consumption
is q disease of civilization. Life in the
open air and sunshine gives vitality and
health. Nature is the great teacher and
developer OF mankind. Peopl6have more
faith in a remedy which is taken from
nature, from tSc vegetable Kingdom, than
from any other source. A remedy which

DON'T LOSE YOUR PUNCH

If you feel growing dissatisfaction
with life and i'll health seems TO threat
en- you without the symptoms of any
specific disease showing, your nerves
are probably undernourished because
your blood is thin.
Take a moment to examine into Your
own case. Have you lost the ability
to make quick decision and take
prompt action whenever necessary or
do you worry and hesitate in ihdecision
and consume an undue amount of time
over things that you used to do quickly?
Are YOU prematurely old?
Don't let the arteries in your brain
get hard. Don't let thin blood starye
your nervous system. Proper diet for

A Spanish. Mecca.

In the historic city of Seville, near
the famous cathedral and occupying
frontage Of about two hundred feet,
stands building that is of paramount
interest to the people of practically all
the American republics. Because Of
the contents of this building, Seville is
becoming the Mecca Of American his
torians. The structure Is veritable
treasure house Of authentic facts con-
corning the colonial period Of all the
new world, as we'll as mine of in
formation relative eto the early his
tory Of very large part of the United
States. The house is known as the
Casa Lonja and the treasures it con-
tains consist Of the general archives
of the Indies, that wonderful collec-
ton Of unpublished, unedited, and for
the most part even unindexed original
documents, reports, letters, etc., which
practically embrace the administra-
ton of the colonies under the domin-
ion Of Spain in all the Americas.

Abusing the Feet.

The weight Of the body in standing
and walking normally comes down on
an elastic arch composed of II bones
Of different shapes, joined together by
igaments and connected with muscles.
This complicated structure must bear
at each step the entire bodily weight;
and, instead of being left to perform
it's function naturally, as is the case
with the, knee the elbow and other
joint structures, the foot Is incased
from early childhood in a restraining
leather covering that congresses and
deforms the fore part of the foot
Here, then, is a process tending not
only to distortion, but also to the
great weakening Of the muscles at
tached to the foot, many Of which
have their origin at and even above
the knee joint. And so there is after
very little walking much fatigue, pain
throughout. the lower extremities,
backache and even headache.

Some of Them In England Have Yield
ed Enormous Crops Of Hay or Been
Grazed for Years.

No part of the farm pays better than
a good meadow and it should, there
fore, have the best attention. In Eng
land we find the best meadows in the
world. Some of them have yielded
enormous crops Of hay or been grazed
for 300 years. They tell you there
that it takes a century to make a
meadow. England is also the land Of
great beef cattle. Good meadows and
cattle are inseparable.
Do not fail to top-dress the meadow
with farmyard manure, in which 200
or 300 pounds Of acid phosphate per
acre has been mixed. or the acid phos-
plate may be broadcasted after apply
ing the manure. If no manure is avail
able, from 400 to 600 pounds Of acid
or half acid phosphate and half bone
meal should be applied. Treat your
meadows right and they will return
long profits.

INCREASE YIELD BY FLOWING BEST ATTENTION TO MEADOW
Work Done in Early Fall Is Most Sat-
isfactory-Weeds Are Destroyed
and Soil Pulverized.

Repeated trials have shown that
early fall blowing gives much better
conditions for a crop Of green the fol-
lowing year than late blowing gives.
While August is dry, hot month and
other farm work presses, it is advis-
able to do as much blowing as pos
sible. On clean land no further treat
ment is needed. On weedy land the
August blowing should be followed
by occasional disking or narrowing,
or by replowing in October.
Such treatment destroys many Of
the weeds and pulverizes the soil, so
that good supplies of plant food are
available during the next season. In
addition, it gives a longer blowing
season and a chance to do better
work. Early blowing and good plow-
ing are important steps in getting bet
ter than the average yield.
