Why Juries Get Tired.

Considering the number of speak.
ing attorneys on both sides. the wesrt-
ness of the jury in the Means case
did not appear surprising. And not
only was there a great string of adj
dresses, but the addresses were re-
markably long; five hours for one
speaker, as an example. 1t is really
amazing how much argument and elo-
cution must be massed for the attack
on The minds of men who have heard
every item of evidence and who are
supposed to be fully capable of form
ing intelligent conclusions.-Savannah

The Americas Times-Recorder
writes a splendid editorial on the
beautiful custom of remembering the
editor" saying in part, This custom
Is really delightful one at all seasons
but strikingly so when the quail is
in bloom, when the syrup pots are
boiling, when hog killing time is with
us once again, when peaches ripen on
the limb, when turkeys strut their
most when sweet potatoes are ready
for plucking, the ehitterling crop is
at its height and when the strawberry
bushes en- the vine" If the editor
isn't loaded down with Christmas re-
membranes, all we gotta say he isn't

A CRAFTY ANIMAL.

Not only from nc eminence Of spe-
cial editorial writer for a Kansas city
newspaper does Col. Theodore Boose-
volt hurl thunderbors at the present
national administration and it's method
Of conducting the war, but in that ex-
abed position which he has created
for himself as critic extraordinary
Of everything under the sun he is con-
Jinyaily finding fault
Even the Heart newspapers are tax
ing Colonel Roosevelt to task for his
persistent practise of disregarding the
forts Of President Wilson and the
'at-2' 5 assistants, all of whom are
bending every energy and every bit
Of intelligence they possess, as well
as their intense patriotism, to a con
scientious endeavor to lead the nation
skillfully through the mightiest strug-
Gle in which this or any other coun-
ny has ever been engaged.
The trouble is that Roosevelt still
wants to be president of the United
states for third time!
one Mr., Roosevelt protested to vir-
taously reverence to the third term
tradition He twice declared that he
would not aspire to third term, but
it was mere Caesarian hypocracy. He
spurned it twice so that on the third
occasion he could better yield
However, the people of the United
States interposed between him and his
ambition, and he failed.
SO the colonel is going to run again!
But even this prospect should not
cause any grave concern among the
Democrats. The colonel is no long
er bogie-man He is at low ebb. The
people at last understand him. They
have put him down as an office-seek-
or and as a politician.
Said Adam Smith in his Wealth of |
Nations:"
That insidious and crafty ami
NAL yulgarIy called a politician
whose councils are directed by the
mornentary i1uc uat.ons Of affairs.
That's Roosevelt for you. It's a !
marvellous silhouette of him, a perfect
study in black and white.
Once Roosevelt had an immense per
sonal following He was the hero of
tie advocates of the strenuous life. He
had disciples among the peace work
ers. He cultivated the esteem of
philosophers. His amazing versatility,
his SNOWY pretense, his superb skill
at procuring publicity, his swagger and
buster, all had the country dazed and
dazzled and fooled.
But the glitter has worn off The
tints are fading and we see the colonel
tints are fading and ew see the colonel

For Nh Roosevelt is a broke man.

the POLITICIAN professional poll
tician, by now we might say-and he
has an Unsuitable thirst for Office. He
would probably like to be president for
life, as well as president for a third
term. And the people of the United
States are hardly likely to trust any
man with such an opportunity, with
SO much power IT is inconceivable
that they will take such a chance with
man like we now know Roosevelt
to be-

FARMERS DUTY IS HELP FEED TOWN

Dr. $. P. Weigart Tells in Specific Terms, When,
 What to Plant.

Timely and valuable advice for the farmer featured the meeting of far mers yesterday at 1 30 D. m., in the assembly hall of the chamber of com merce, addressed by Dr. s. P Weigart of Little Rock. district agent for the United States department of agricul- turc who has charge of the entire district of southeast Arkansas.
 There were eighteen farmers in at tendance who cvinced the deepest in terest in all that Dr. Weigart said. The speaker lost no time in prclimi- nary statements. but went direct to the point by saying that the idea which should be uppermost in the minds Of the farmers is to raise feed stuffs for man and beast to the fullest extent of his soil and ability to culti- vate. farm and harvest
 Also they must raise tho stuff fo" their own stock and for their live stock in the cities, and in the timber land where live stock is worked, and the surplus to be exported to Europe for tho war necessities of the allies, fer each and every one is doing his or her part in tho game of life. that all must live.
 He spoke in plain terms about tho manner in which fodder should be gathered and what to plant for the fall crop. and when to plant, all of which is of the greatest value to the farmers.
 He emphasized the fact that corn ought to be cut when ripe enough for fccd The time 10 cut it is when part of tho leaves turn yellow and the sh"ck begins to turn brown.
 Speaking of pea hay. he said. "Pea hay should be taken up when the leac is we'll wilted. Pea hay should not be left on the ground where the wat"" can bo drawn in through the root aud sent through the vine and into the leaf This is very injurious and il rret bc avoided"

RED CROSS WOMEN WORK
ON A WAR RUSH ORDER
100000 Surgical Dressings to Be
Made for 1873 Battleships
and Destroyers.

With the District Chapter of the Red
woman workers in ten of the largest
Red Cross chapters are working on a
rush order for more than 600. 900 sur
eical dressings for 1ss battleships and
destroyers. This work is being ex-
pedited at the request of Surgeon Gem
eral William c. BREASTED of the Navy
Department.
The surgical dressings are to be pre-
pared by the woman workers in the
Red Cross chapters at Washington.
Baltimore. Philadelphia. New York,
Chicago. Cleveland. Pittsburgh. Allan
ia. Boston and the northeastern divi-
sion. these chapters being chosen be-
cause their proximity to New York will
expedite delivery. 1t is expected to I'LL
the order within the next ten days.
Women qualified in the various chap
tiers to make surgical dressings are
working night and day for the rapid
who have taken the Red Cross course
in the making of these bandages are
eligible to engage in the work.
With the declaration of war there has
been rapid increase in the number of
women taking the Red Cross surgical
dressing courses. In June. Ala certifi-
Gates were issued to women who had
taken the course of eight lessons of
three hours each. and in the first ten
days of July LTD certificates were is
sued.
Each chapter will supply the battle
ship named after that particular state
and others in which they might have a
geographical interest. Thus the Chi
cago chapter will supply the Chicago
and the Illieois New York will sup
ply the New York and the Albany.
These boxes as completed will be
shipped by chapters direct to the Bush
Terminal at New York for distribution
to the ships.
