How Luther Valued Music.

Luther had a keen relish for the beautiful in music, but the relief and comfort 1t afforded him through ex- pressing his own feelings were with him trivial commentators as compared with it's use in bringing home Gospel truth to heart and conscience. The melodious cadences and clear and brilliant phrases of sacred songs were for him golden characters by which the knowledge of God was to be im- printed on the memory. Never Is the singleness of the mans heart more conspicuous-the concentration of his soul upon one grand life-purpose more evident-than when, with congeniai toll, he sets to simple words and sim pie tunes, for children to sing, the main verities of Christian faith, the main facts of Christian story.
 Luther gave the initiative for count less psalms and hymns and grave sweet melodies, sung by the Protestant vanguard of mankind. The best re- ligious inspiration of these last ages Is in spiritual song.-From Peter Bayne's Martin Luther"

SIGNS SEEN IN THE FLOWERS
Many Popular Expectations Are Woven About the Raising and
 Handling of Various Blossoms.

To burn faded flowers Is sure sign of coming sorrows. To plant a flower hedge Is to bring good luck. If a per son wears flowers with the stems up- ward it Is sign that he or she is in love and does not know it. To have flowers wilt quickly in the hand denotes III health.
 If a person smells flowers gathered from a cemetery he will lose the sense of smell. It is considered unlucky to gather flowers out of season, as before and after the season they are said to belong to the fairies.
 The first wild flowers which are gathered by young woman in the spring are supposed to give the initials of her future husband. Spearmint Is believed by some to prevent illness when worn about the wrist.
 If catnip is held In the hand un- Ill heated and then put into the hand of another, superstition says Shat Il will so control that person that he or she cannot leave you as long as the catnip is retained in the hand
 Pennyroyal is said to make a quar- relsome husband and wife stop bick- ering if It Is given to them by some friend.

SOUND TO CONTROL MACHINE
Remarkable invention Demonstrated in London Is Based Upon the
 Principle of Resonance.

The distant control of mechanical operations by sound, as demonstrated In London, depends upon the principle of resonance, or the setting up of re- enforcing sympathetic vibrations by sending out the note for which the ap- paratus is tuned.
 The resonator consists of tele- phone transmitter and receiver, placed near together face to face in closed cylindrical casing, with tube contain ing a piston extending at the back of the receiver. The piston lengthens or shortens the column of air behind the receiver, and thus changes the vibra- ton note of the transmitter and re- ceiver diaphragms. The transmitter is connected to the primary current of an induction coil, with switch battery, resistance, and an ordinary post office relay in circuit; the receiver is cou- pied to the secondary circuit. When the proper note vibrates the di- aphragms, the armature of the relay is moved closing the local circuit, and this can be adapted for starting and stopping an engine, releasing bombs, or other purposes.
 For controlling dirigible, the sounds might be sent from the ground by a siren, the note of which would be adjusted by varying the speed. Diff ferent notes could be made to perform different requirements and in guiding an airship, turning the rudder to the right, to the left, elevating, depressing speeding up the engine, and slowing 1t down would each have its special note. To avoid discovery of the means Of performing any operation, the appar- atus could be designed to respond af- ter n definite number of repetitions of the right note, or only after a combl- nation of different notes.

Your sweet potatoes are too val uable to let them rot. The home potato bill properly managed will be all right for small quantities ot potatoes but the inexpensive store house is better for large quantities and will more than pay for itself in potatoes it keeps from rotting. In addition to proper care in digging and sorting, ventilation and the temperature have much to do with the keeping of sweet potatoes. How to control these features is discussed and the various storage methods given in Bulletin 124 is- sued by the College of Agriculture at Fayetteville. Write for this bulletin today.

LAST GALL FOR WINTER OATS.

If you hurry there is still time to put in winter oats. This is a yalu- able crop for most Arkansas farm CTS because it not only furnishes great quantities of feed but 1t can be followed by a crop like COW peas which will help build up the soil and furnish an abundance of hay or can be ploWed under. The experts with the College Agriculture urge thorough preparation of the seed bed and the use of the drill in seed ing if possible. Planting after Oc- tober 90 in Northern Arkansas and November 1 in Southern Arkansas has often brought large yields but 1t is not considered so safe as earl fer planting.

BOIL WEEyIL IDEA EXPLODED.

Much has been written about the control of the boil weevil by fall blowing, but Geo. G. Becker. state entomolgist with the University of Arkansas, says:
 If cotton stalks can be uprooted and plowed under deeply by No vember 1, some good will be done in the northern part of the state and a great deal more in the south ern part toward the control of the boil weevil. However, after Mo- vember l this method will not pay in Arkansas because practically all of the weevils have left the cotton after that time and are hibernating in the trash and rubbish, along the fence rows, the ditch banks and roadsides. Destroy as far as possi- ble these hiding places and you will not only get large numbers of the boil weevil but all kinds of injurious insects. PloW under the trash and rubbish as far as possible.
