The Loom of Life.

It is a solemn thought that every one of us carries about with him a
 mystical loom, and we are always weaving-weave, weave, weaye-tnls robe which we wear, every thought a thread of the warp every action q thread of the weft. We weave 1t, and we dye it, and we cut it, and we stitch it, and then we put 1t on ana wear it; and it sticks to us. Like q snail that crawls about your garden matches and makes its shell by pro- cess of secretion from out of its own substance, so you and l are making that mysterious solemn thing, we cal character, moment by moment. It IS our own self modified by our actions. Character is the precipitate from the stream of conduct which, like the Nile delta, gradually rises solid and nrm aboye the parent river, and confines It's fiow.-Alexander Maclaren.

Among the Farmers.

I note where Willis Grisham a former Brinkley farmer boy has gone from the Grisham farm near Rondo to Holly Grove to work in the splendid mercantile establishment of R. Abramson Co.,, at Holly Grove.
 The many progressive farm CTS of this section will be inter ested in knowing the out come of the recent test to ascertain the cost of blowing with trac- tor, as conducted at the Ark ansas University Agricultural Department, which recently conducted a blowing test for 32 1-2 hours. Somewhat more than 34 acres of land were plowed. The exact cost per acre was found to be about $1.
 Following the 32 1-2 hours of actual work the tractor was run for 1 3-4 miles. After the engine had been running for AS hours it was still cool.
 Arkansas now has AZ count ies free from Cattle Ticks, and the nice part of it all is that Monroe County is one of the AZ.
