Really the "old World"

So far as mankind is concerned, the
"old world" deserves its name. The
strongest proof of the comparatively
recent settlement of the western CON
tinent is found in the physical uni
formity of its native inhabitants. When
Columbus came, one type prevailed
from Hudson's bay to the Straits OF
Magellan, and the variations from that
type were less than those which mark
off the Dane from the Corsican. The
explanation is clear: There had nct
been time for the settlers OF America
to separate into such clearly marked
races as those of the eastern hsmi-
sphere

4 hound and a poodle were chatting
together. Suddenly the poodle said:
II wish we were like the dogs of AT
RIGA" "Why?" asked the hound. "The
dogs of Africa are so strong they can
attack a lion," said the poodle. "But
do they gain the victory" asked his
friend. "Well," said the poodle, Il
cannot say they do. But fancy being
able to attack lion!" The hound
looked wise. 'If they attack and don't
win, all can say is that they're very
little stronger, and certainly much
more foolish than we are"

USING Ferns as preservatlve.

1t was discovered some years ago
that the leaves of the fern plant.
which grows almost everywhere, are
excellent preservatives for packing
food, fruit and even meat. In the Isle
of Man fresh behring's are packed in
ferns and arrive on the market in as
fresh condition as when they were
shipped. A number of experiments
have demonstrated that potatoes
packed in ferns keep many months
longer than those packed in straw. In
fact. potatoes packed in fern leaves
are as fresh in the springtime as when
they we're first dug in the winter.

Among the Farmers

The greatest showing of spring
chickens I've seen on my rounds
so far, | saw this week down at
Farmer Dunhams. 8 miles south
of Brifkley. He has about 300
little chicks and many of them
are good size fryers now. | saw
a bunch of pretty white belted
Hampshire pigs there too.
I'd like to buy a good anvil
and forge and a double barrel
shot gun, and | wish you'd ad-
vertise my wants in the ARGUS, "
said Farmer ]. c. Guthrie, (P.
0. address. Brinkley.)
Eugene Skillern, the clever
Richland farmer, reports the
roads from Dark Corner to
Brinkley in absolute perfect con-
ditions for use of air craft but
next to impossible for buggy
and wagon traffic. Of course the
loss of a little thing like $500
worth of trade per year to the
Brinkley business houses from
Dark Corner is of no consequence
or else there would be some at
tention paid to keeping this road
at least passable, so the Richland
township farmers think.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Wallace of
Rosebud Farm, were up from
Monroe yesterday trading with
ARGUS advertisers. Friend Wal
lace says that the live. fresh ads
that appear IN each week S
ARGUS are good reading to the
farmers and that it pays 'em to
read these ads.
Chas. Loewer, the clever rep
resentative for the machinery
house, Southwestern Supply Co.
of Little Rock, was down south
of Rrinkley yesterday selling
farm machinery. He says that
those Allendale and Keevil farm
ers are about the liveliest, most
progressive bunch of farmers in
this section. Just wait until the
new rock road down into that
country is finished and you'll see
things come fast.

Anniversary of the First
Real Talking Machine

The first really effective talking
machine or photograph was the in
vention Of Thomas A. Edison, and
the principle of the machine was first
announced by the wizard forty years
ago today, Nov. 27, 1877. The phe-
nomena on which the photograph is
based was discovered by Edison while
engaged in experiments for a totally
different end. Following the an
nouncement of the eminent electrician
a number of inventors in America and
Europe took up the idea, but their
machines were very crude. For ten
years after his first revelation Mr..
Edison did nothing to perfect the in
vention. Then, perceiving its WON
derful possibilities, he gave it much
careful study, and in 1889 produced
the phenegrapt substantially as it is
known today, although vast improve
ments have since been made, The
tinfoil first used for cylinders OF rec
ords has been replaced by a wax COM
position. Long an object of derision,
the talking machine" is now an ar
tistic and commercial success, repre-
ducing with marvellous exactitude the
voices of the worlds greatest singers
and orators. The preservation of
these records will enable posterity
centuries hence to listen to the voices
Aof the great men long dead.

HOME GUARD IS
GOING TO Be A
NATIONAL UNIT

The formation Of a new national
militia throughout the country, to
take the place of the National Guard,
which is now incorporated in the reg
ular army, is announced in the Army
and Navy Journal of November "a.
This national body of troops will in
clude, it is said, the Home Guards OF
the various states and, Connecticut,
one of the first states to organize a
Home Guard, will contribute it's
quota.
The new organization will be under
the command of Colonel Jesse mel
Carter, U. s. Cavalry, with rank of
brigadier general Colonel Carter has
sent out certain memoranda and ques-
lions to the adjutants general of the
different states and the organization
of the new militia will not be COM
pleted until answers to these have
been received.
Colonel Carriers memorandum to
the various states adjutants general
called attention to the proclamation
issued by the President with refer
ence to enemy aliens in this country
and asks their aid in carrying out
promptly and effectively the regula-
lions put into force. Answers were
requested from each state to the fol-
lowing questions: What forces are
now available in your state for this
duty? Are there any forces suft1-
GENTLY strong to do the work effec-
lively? What facilities are available
for the transportation Of state guards?
What do you see in your state that
needs more effective policing? What
facilities Seem to be menaced by an
alien population? Will there be any
objection to having state guards or
troops e1nder the direction of the bu-
reau of militia affairs. Will state
guards and state constabular1es OBJ
ject to being employed in the enforce
ment of the Presidents proclama-
tion?''
| Adjutant General George M. Cole
who received Saturday afternoon such
a QUESTIONABLE said that connecticut
| is well prepared to aid in such pro-
tective scheme but that the exact
| part that this state may play depends
upon conference with the governor.
After this conference the states posi-
ton will be determined and anwers
to the governments questions sent to
Washington.
