The leaf of alfalfa is divided
into three leaflets, the middle
one uf which has short stem,
differing in this respect from
red and alike clovers, in which
the center leafet is attached
directly at the base. This
difference in the two plants readi.
ly enables one to distinguish
alfalfa from red clover when the
plants are very young. AS the
plants become older the leaflets
of the alfalfa become more
elongated than in the clover.

In 1909 the value of sugar
beets per acre was exceeded by
four other crops-hops, tobacco,
sugar cane, and sweet potatoes.
The acre value of beets was
nearly four times the value of
corn or wheat, and more than
four times the average acre value
of all cereals.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

1t is question on which the people
are more or less divided as to wheth-
er Pemiscot county needs worse IA new
court house or better road system.
That both are needed no one will at.
tempt to dispute and the time is com
ing when both will be had. The road 8
are good part Of the year, but the
courthouse is bad the year round.
On the other hand, state and nation
aid may be had sooner or later and
help out on the road building, but
the courthouse must be built by the
county alone. If we can't have both
now, we should try to obtain one or
the other. r.-Caruthersvil Democrat.
That is good, sensible talk,
and we endorse that kind of re.
asoning, even if we must take
issue as to the people being
"devided as to which they need
most-a new courthouse, or good
roads" AS to which of the two
the PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY
would prefer to have first there
is absolutely no division that we
can discover, and we have taken
great pains to talk with all the
people we can from all parts of
the county. Leaving the question
of good roads out entirely, we
find the people, for other re.
asons, perhaps as we'll not to re.
peat, unanimously are opposed to
taxing themselves to build a new
courthouse at this time, and lay.
ing both questions before them
it is an absolute libel upon their
intelligence to say they are
divided upon what they would
choose to have first. That we
need both is true, very true, and
we shall further say very un.
fortunate. but we agree if we
cannot have both, and we cannot,
we should have the one we need
worst first. In the development
OF any country, good roads ought
to be first of all-it is the founda.
tion upon which all others pro.
gress rests. 1t is just as vital to
to have good roads first, as it is
to build the foundation of your
house first, and it is just as
foolish to try to develop a county
without roads, as it is to con.
struct a costly and handsome re.
sidence with a temporary, or
faulty foundation. There are a
great number of people in
Pemiscot county who have no
need whatever for a courthouse
as to their personal use, but
there is not man, woman nor
child in Pemiscot county but who
has need for good roads and
would be benefited by having
same. If the people of the county
cannot be interested in good
roads they certainly cannot be
in courthouse. This
is evident.

One went so far as to say the
government should either pay
for the advertising space or to
commander it, without charge,
that is to compel the publisher to
devote space free.
AS far as this office is con.
cerned, we are patriotic, and
have and will continue to give
some publicity on patriotism,
but with the attack made on the
country newspaper as it is being
done, our space is open for adver-
tising, but must be paid for. We
do not get something for nothing:
we pay for it, ami pay heavily.
When we have to devote space
free, we will close shop.

Millionaire Widow Catche,

and the result was the hurried de-

Washington Believes There 10 No
Chance of German Revolt.

WASHINGTON. sept 26.--Amer-
lean officials believe there is no i'm
mediate chance OF a revolution In
Germany to overthrow the Kaiser.
While official advices Indicate n
growing discomfort within the empire,
particularly among women, authori-
ties have concluded that the Germans,
so used to Kaiser domination, will
cause no upheaval until further cas-
ualties open their eyes to the stu
pidity OF living under a murderous
autocracy.
On this theory Secretary of War
Baker. Secretary OF Navy Daniels and
Others engaged In shaping America
for war against this autocracy are
laying their plans with two or more
years OF conflict In mind.
