STUDENTS ARE GIVEN
CRINIINOLOGY TEST

Miss Graves class IN English at the
high school took a lesson in criminol-
ogy this morning to see how this
method of detecting criminals would
work out After the first test, the
students were able to tell what crime
the criminal had committed.
A list Of words were given the stu
dents relating TO the crime. A stu
dent was sent out of the room to steal
a pocketbook from the principals Of
flee. When these words were given
him he was TO tell the first word that
came into his. mind. Naturally, he
would tell something concerning the
theft, and from what he said. the stu
dents. who did not know what he had
done. were able to tell exactly what
the crime was.
This is the first test of this kind
and Miss Graves is well pleased with
her experiment. This method is oft
en- used by detectives on criminals
and is taught in many Of the higher

Students In Public
Speaking Appear at

Three more members of the public
speaking class spoke to the students OF
the high school this morning at the
regular weekly assembly. This is the
second time that students of this
class have spoken before an audience
and from all appearances, some good
material will be developed. Principal
Drill is in charge of the class.
The first speaker on the list was
Walter Snyder, whose subject was
Science at the Front" In his speech
he told what place science has taken
in this war.
Claude Snow spoke on the "Origin
and Story OF the Flag" He said that
flags We're used over thousand years
ago by the barbarians to distinguish
the different tribes. His manner of
speaking showed that his speech was
well prepared.
Paul MOrtimore was the last speak
er on the list and he told of the work
OF the Y. NJ. G. \. He brought out the
fact that this was Protestant insti-
tuition, but was non-sectarian. Eie

Mr.. Green, who served here very sue
cessfully last summer, is to be here

SAVE SEED CORN
 FOR NEXT YEARS
 SPRING PLANTING
Begin to Save Seed Early, and Keep It
 Stored Away From Other Corn.
(By Martin Nelson.)

Fayetteville, Sept. 6.-In order to be on the safe side, it is imperative to look ahead and provide next years seed supply. Let us make the most of what Arkansas has. This applies to all seed, but especially to corn.
 Good local grown seed corn is safer and less expensive than imported Nor thern grown seed corn. The actual condition of Arkansas seed supply should be determined early. To do this it is necessary to separate the seed from the balance of the crop.
 An earlier bulletin urged the pre- servation of all good seed from the 1917 crop. It is the special purpose of this bulletin to call the ottention to the best use of the 1918 crop, and the uncertainties that attend this crop.
 Save seed corn. Begin now. Have the stock of seed from this crop sep arated and stored apart from all corn but not suitable for seed By this means each man will know what he has for his own use and to spare: The next step will be to test this seed and know whether or not it is all good. In due time the experiment sta tion, by the aid of the Extension Di- vision, will collect representative sam ples of seed corn from all parts of the state and test them for the farmers; however, this test will be much more helpful if seed is gathered and stored separately before the sample is talk en.
 The work of the Experiment Sta tion has proven that poorly filled, shrunken, or chaffy corn, made so by the drouth, is frequently unfit for seed even though the corn looks fair ly well on the surface. A germination test will show what the drouth has done to the crop. If the test shows good seed the farmers may feel safe. If the test is low one of two things should be done-make a test of indi- vidual ears and retain only the good ears or get supply of seed that shows satisfactory test. By all means let the doubt that attends drouth stricken crop be settled early.
