The message declares that the order to the Brazilian authorities enjoining the observance of neu. trality was only intended to have effect until Congress met. It continues:
 Today, in consideration of the fact that the United States is an integral part of the American union in consideration, also, of the traditional policy of Brazll, which has always been governed by complete unity ofview with the United States, and, finally. in consideration of the sympa thies of a great majority of the Brazilian nation, the administra- tion invites Congress to revoke the decree of neutrality. ;"

Body Identified

Greenville Miss, May 22.-
 Sheriff R. F. Milwee of Monroe County, Arkansas, arrived here this morning to iden .ify the body of the man killed by ex-Police-
 man Tom Burns at Avon, near here, Sun day evening. The man
 killed was going by the name of
 '. J. Jones. Sheriff Milwee was accompanied here by Mrs. Flea nor c. Brown, the mother of the
 pretty 14-year-old Julia Brown,
 who is alleged to have been ab- ducted some time ago by F. E. Dickins. alias Jack Brainard, and
 brought down the Mississippi River in a houseboat, the girl leaving the boat at Arkansas City. Both Sheriff Milwee and Mrs. Brown identified the body of Jones as that of F. E. Dickens,
 wanted at Clarendon, Ark, for
 the murder of a deputy sheriff and other offenses. The remains
 were later inferred here in the potter's field. Burns was given a preliminary trial before Jus tice Fred Lynch and released, ! the witnesses showing that Burns attempted to arrest Dick ems, that he resisted and was reaching for rife when Burns shot him.

Weeds Rob Corn And
 Cotton.

Cultivation pays because weeds rob corn and cotton ot great quantities of food and need
 ed moisture. Professor De F. Hungerford of the College of Az
 riculture, University of Arkan
 sas, Fayetteville, says that it takes about as much plant food to grow a pound of weeds as it does pound of green corn or cotton plapts Weeds also use great quantities of moisture which the crops may need before

the season is over. Consistent. thorough cultivation enables the farmer to kill two birds with one stone. He destroys the weed rob bers and stirs up mulch which permits the circulation of air and the warming of the surface soll but at the same time form ing blanket which prevents the eyap- oration of moisture from any considerable depth.

 The adoption of the 12 mill tax which was opposed by many and which would more than likely been defeated had there been a full vote, assures the district of a full term for the next school year. and will keep the district with it's head above water. It will also aid in making many needed improvements if the money is judiciously expended and by the time another year TO Is around in all likelihood not more than seven mills will be needed to carry on the educa- tional institution. The election passed off quietly and the people were generally satisfied with the results.

Proclamation Declaring
 A Legal Holiday.

o Idil OOIle JIGtbIDSS.
 Whereas, Our great and be- loved President Woodrow Wilson a Commander in Chef of the Army and Navy of the United States, has designated Tuesday. June 9th, between the hours of z A. M, and 9 p m-. as the date for the registration of all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 30, both inclusive, in which proclamation he has stated with all the elCquence of American Patriotism and American Ideal ism, that, the significance of of this conscription cannot be overstated It is new thing in our history and a landmark iD our progress. It is new method of accepting and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the com mon purpose of us all. It is in no sonse conScription of the willing; it is, rather, selection from a nation which has volun teered in mass. It is no more a choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is a selection of those who shall serve equally necessary and de voted purpose in the industries that lay behind the battle line. The day here named is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. It is for that req son destined to be remembered os one of the most conspicuous moments in our history. It is DO thing less than the day upon which the manhood of the count ry shall step forward in one sol i'd rank in defense of the ideals to which this country is conse- crated; land,
 Whereas, Arkansas should not and will not be behind her sister states in this exhibition of a nor al and patriotic united nation both for the cause of autocracy despotism and militairism; an6 believing that every loyal true American citizen of this state will be proud to avail himself ol the opportunity to do his par, toward making the world safe for democracy and plant world peace upon the tested foundation of political liberty; and
 Whereas, The war in which we are now engaged is the most stu pendous struggle of history and will tax every resource of every hamlet. town, county, city and state in our land; and
 Whereas, This is a challenge to all mankind of America's far flung battle line, fighting not for revenge nor for victorious as sertion of the phy sical might of our great nation, but rather for the vendication of human rights and human liberties, based on government of the people, for the people and by the people, in which world conflict Arkansas will never choose the path of sub mission and suffer the most sa- cred rights of our nation and of our people to be ignored or vio- lated or outraged by the present Prussian paranoia
 Now, Therefore, I, Charles H Brongh, Governor of the state of Arkansas, by virtue of the au thority vested in me by. the con stitution and laws of said state, and acting in my official capacity and pursuant to the request of our great President, supported by the official action of Congress and by unanimity of sentiment throughout the nation, do here by set aside and proclaim Tues day June 9th, as a state holiday, | for the purpose of securing the registration of all eligible citi- zens. 1 respectfully urge every

Modern Poetry.

Poetry. like every great force. has followed an evolution of Its own, and as it comes to us today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex- precision of broad communal orr na- tional feeling. and expresses now far more than it did. in far more subtle and intricate directions, the feelings of the individual. If it gives voice on public, national or international events 1t does so from far more specialized and personal point of view than of old, and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of the party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to lie for the future ip this direction.

When the Girl Proposed.

And have tried to make it clear to you in every way I knew. I've asked you to this house, times without num- Der. I've played tennis with you, and walked and talked with you, and ridden your rounds with you in your bumpy old milk wagon. I've simply thrown myself at your head day after day. But you--you wouldn't under stand. You wouldn't look at me. Nor listen. You mooned about, and moped your ridiculous heart out. Because you thought I was such blind, silly fool. couldn't look past your prop erty and your ill-luck, and see how splendid you really are. Because you thought l was such stuckup simple ton I'd not want to marry you, be- cause you were milkman. When I'd drive your milk cart, I'd chase the cows for you, if you wanted me to.- Woman's Home Companion.

Figuring colors of Metals.

A method by which numerical yaIues Tor the colors of metals has been ob- tained and described recently in for eign contemporary. The metal sample IS polished with emery, and is then photographed through blue grass screen. The time of exposure time of development of the plate temperature or the developer and all other condj- lions must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. Ihe density of the resulting negative Is measured in Sanger Shepherd densometer. and the result calculated 10 scnie in which the color value Tor silver Is o and that of copper is oo. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give a higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent, copper 7.5 per cent and is only just sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and : per cent of nickel.
