nave said so to me. They never think that began when I was seven years old to work at my job. They don't seem to realize that I practice six hours a day right along.
 1t IS nerve-racking work tool Do- ing the same thing over and over, re- beating one passage perhaps hun dred times in the effort to do it per fectly. If they know how cramped my arms get from holding the violin, how my fingers ache! There have been times when my arms have been so tired I could not lift them to use a knife and fork at the table. Often my back and shoulders have ached so could have cried.
 But if I should stop practicing even for few days, should go back in my work. I mustn't do that. I'm like anybody else with something to sell. I've got to keep on delivering the goods"

THE TRADE AT HOME CLUB.

One of our neighbors had been boasting about the fine new lawn mower he had bought by mail order from some house hundreds of miles distant. One of our T. H. c. mem bers reports being with him when he opened up the machine. It was cer- tainly a sumner, as far as red and yellow paint goes.
 But night before last this man was trying out his mower on his new grass. He was not quite so sure about the value of his bargain. To be sure he has bought it for $7.97 where he understood the local people were sell ing the same grade for s9. But he had to pay 75 cents express.
 Then the thing was dull to start with, and he had to pay s1 to get it sharpened. The man who ground it said the knives were made of poor steel. He did not believe it would hold an edge for more than a few cuttings. Looks as if they were paying for their big organization and high overhead and real estate charges by using second grade stock" re-

FROM JOHN w. LEGGETT.

Owing to the order issued by the Arkansas State Council of Defense those of us who are interested in the construction of Columbia Hall, the main building of the Old Glory h. dustrial College, will learn with re- gret that this part of the building program has been deferred indefin- itely. But in lieu of this, we shall work in effort to erect the Betsy Ross Hall as soon as the ban is re- moved from building material.
 Several white friends will assist us in this work.
 As a stimulus MT. J. R. Cox pledges to donate fifty dollars if nine other patriotic citizens of Jackson county can be found who will donate a simi- lar sum. In making this generous proposition, MT. Cox is facing the logic of the future, therefore We take off our hats and bow to him.
 In his notes to the Imperial crown, President Wilson touched upon the '"reign of law" rights of small peo- plas," and International Justice" " From past experience, we have ev- cry reason to believe that he and his advisors mean to act as they have spoken. But, interpreting this in the light of reason, we know that it will take some considerable time and much prayerful training to bring about these marked changes.
 As head of the nation President Wilson speaks from higher reason. But can the mass of people take on these high ideals at once? 1 answer no! This will be demonstrated on the part of both the white people and the negroes. Indeed it will be as marked on the one side as it is on the other
 The properly trained negro will prove mighty factor in reconstruc- ton problems for he can step in line and do mans work in a mans place and take mans disappointmsnts. But he who will threaten to secede every time he cannot have what he wants when he wants it in the way he wants it, is menace to the state.

"Ever since 1 was eleven years old until after I started taking Tanlac, recently, I've suffered misery with my stomach" said Mrs. Kate Owen by, well-known Chattanooga, Ten nessee, woman, living at 121 Vine street, recently.
 "Yes, sir, for twenty-two long years I never knew what it was to be able to eat what wanted without terrific suffering afterward," she continued. q suffered with pains be- tween my shoulders and my stomach just felt like there was a hot brick in it. It would get all bloated up from gas that formed, and l would choke and smother so I could hardly get my breath. I was so nervous that often I couldn't lay in bed, but would get up and walk the floor for hours at the time.
 q had heard so much about the won derful relief Tanlac was bringing suffering people that I decided to try it, and it's tn honest truth, after talk ing five bottles I haven't a sign of trouble. I eat anything l want and never have any pains or even feel un- comfortable. The nervousness Is all gone, and I sleep sound all night long, and get up in the morning feeling fine and full of energy. I've gained twelve pounds in weight, and my improve ment is the talk of the neighborhood. All my friends compliment me on the way look now" Tanlae sold by all Jackson County Druggists,

TOUGH AND GERMAN.

During 1917 there died in Germany
100000 more men and women-Ger-
mans, mind you,-between the ages
of 55 and rs than died during the
year before, which in turn showed
higher mortality rate among the aged
than any pre-war year.
That is not remarkable. The best
food and the most of it in Germany
goes to the soldiers and to the ruling
classes. The aged poor live on near
food, and little of that.
But the remarkable thing in con-
nection with the above statistics is the
statement made by a high German
health official.
I'VE are glad of it." he declared.
1T proves that every day the German
power is increasing!"
And then he goes on to explain that
the abnormal death rate among the
old folks reduces the number of
mouths which demand food-mouths
of people who can no longer fight in
the trenches nor produce food or mu-
nitions at home.
The more persons upward from
55 die the more invincible will become
the fatherland," he added.
These old folks, be it remembered,
are the ones who in their younger
days bore the burden of kaiserism and
militarism for years, and for their re-
ward the kaiser DEGREES:

splendid success in arranging for the
affair next Wednesday night.
