BOUQUETS.

But you should listen to the bou-
quets handed to me by the old sub.
seribers of the Pulaskian. If they
would just write them to me instead
of speaking them I could use them to
letter advantage, but personally I en-.
joy the ones handed to me in person

fore. That is my own observation
ana If all growers don't take an active
interest in the organization of state
association the price of sweet pota-
toes will come down. In Texas the
price was boosted by calling them
Vans and l believe that the name
Arkansas Vans" would take better
tlaan Macy Halls" because already
The Nancy Halls are outclassed by The
Cuban Vans, which is the coming
potato. The old niger chokers"
have won the name sweet potato and
has brought it into disrepute.
Mrs. T. Hoekstra is one of the first
and most persistent boosters for The
Pulaskian She not only gets up news
for it. but she gets SUBSCRIBERS. She
sent me to Mrs M. j. Zuber, of the
Zuber Mercantile Company, who sub
sclibed for it. I left a few extra
copies of the Pulaskian with her and
she said she not only would give them
out. but that she would take subscrip.
lions for it. Mrs. E. S. Dixon also
took the paper on Mrs Hoekstra's
recommendation.
Mrs. Jno M. Dixon has been taking
The Pulaskian from the first number
and recommending it TO her neigh
bors. She is delighted to see it once
more coming out in the Saturday
mails. My visit at this home, which
always enjoy very much, was cut
short by the honking Of t. M. Dixon's
car, for I had been promised ride
back into Little Rock by him. Mr..
Dixon finds autos a necessity. lie

Mr.. Brown has patch of Soudan
grass ready to cut. It certainly looks
fine / ran across some of it last
year and not only the growers of it.
but all their neighbors, who saw it
grow were carried away with it. Year
by year it grows in popularity and
predict that before long it will be as
popular in Pulaski county as sor-
ghGm. In 1915 | was so favorably im-
pressed with it that | sent to the
Texas plain for seed which | dis.
tributed amongst the readers of the
Pea Ridge Pod, so you see am
more than pleased to see it turning
out well, as | look upon myself as
sponsor for it. | hate to see the far
mers have a humbug in the seed line
palmed off on them and also do not
appreciate seeing people, who do not
know, handing out authentic informa.
ton to them. Having done my most
successful farming in the Texas Pan
handle | know something about the
products of drouthy country. hear
people saying that Kaffir corn is the
crop for dry year. Kaffir corn is the
feed for stock when you can raise Il.
but when you could raise it in the
Panhandle you could also raise good
corn AS a food or feed the grain
is almost identical with Indian corn.
As fodder it is much superior 10
Indian corn. Stock turned into
stalk field will not only eat every
stalk of Kaffir corn, but will also paw
the roots out of the ground and eat
them. 1t is probably the best fodder
that grows But for dry year you
want Milo Maize. The grain of the
milo maize is bitter like sorghum
and stock do not like it so well, but
horses and hogs will do as wen on it
as corn when they can't get the corn.
The grain is SO hard that most Pan
handle farmers have it ground before
feeding. 1t will mature crop in six
weeks after planting. If it don't rain.
it will just stand there and wait for
the rain and when the rain comes it
will make a crop For this reason it
seldom ever fails, even in the Texas
and Oklahoma Panhandles We are
going to have drouth here every year
now that our timber is all being cut,
so farmers and the Board of Trade
should get busy at once and secure
seed from the plains for next year.
For drouthy country Milo Maize Is
the crop par excellent.
Mr.. J. T.. Cloar is one of the Sweet
Home boosters for The Pulaskian He

A Conhar Tala

Four railroad men, engineer, fire
man conductor, and brakeman, were
in charge of a WOTk-train, some dis
lance from Baraboo. This is a true
story, too. These men one day soused
a pail \pf water down a hole and up
came poor little gopher, half drowned.
One of the railroad men saw some
fun ahead, so he put the little animal
in his dinner pail and getting cover
which wouldn't close down too tightly
to shut out all air from the little
animal, he, with the other members of
the train crew, went to their board
ing house, leaving their pals where
one of the girls would get them for
washing After supper the men sat
quietly waiting results and when a
girl appeared to get the dinner pals,
the men, of course, were all on tip
toe of expectation. Finally it came;
such a scream The men gathered at
the kitchen door, and here they saw a
girl or two on chairs, skirts gathered
tightly. and others standing by, all
wondering what was it that jumped
out of the dinner pail. The brakeman
went into the kitchen, boldly captured
little gopher in a corner. placed him
in one Of his pockets saying, I'VE must
have some more fun with you.

The Case Of Ireland vs.. Eureka
Springs
Eureka Springs, Ark.

The article from the pen of the pes
simistic prophet of Eureka Springs
criticizing the championship OF Ire
land created establishment to say the
least. Just why has this prophet
arisen? Is he part of the extensive
D7Cpaganda that is being spread
broadcast to discredit the claims OF
ireland for her meTited freedom? Ev-
4es-y honest man has a right to his opln-
ion: and fair and honest criticism is
always in order But is it necessary
when speaking of Ireland to open the
question with scorn and silly ridicule?
Can the subject be preached, only
through ridiculing Patrick and Bridget,
as ID these names did not exempllfy
the very finest, highest and nobiest
in the worlds history? Ridicule is
the cheapest argument that can be en-
ployed in controversy, for it does not
require truth for its foundation, and
but a low order Of talent for its dis
play. The sooner it is learned that
the day for ridiculing Ireland and her
claims for freedom is past, the better
it will be. Ireland's freedom is vital
question.
just why did we get into this war,
@ pessimistic prophet of the doleful
discourse? Was it not to make the
world safe for democracy. and to make
democracy safe for us? To grant self
discrimination to all peoples. justice
dor all peoples and countries, particu-
dairy the small countries? Such was

No, both of them were going to bed
early; too tired; wanted a good

When both of them retired, did they
realize the good nights sleep? After
awhile Mr.. Conductor and his brake
man assembled to the same bedroom

in one bed, and after the other two
men got good and ready for bed, they
tip-toed over to the sleeping men.
While conductor lifted the bed clothes
at the foot of bed, the brakeman
slipped the gopher under, patted the
clothing down, and both men slipped
parently dead to everything but pleas

contended that the killing OF Jensen
was deliberate, maintaining that py
means of a high powered glass the
Kruegers were able to single out Jen-
sen for a target.
The defense built it's case on a sell
defense plea, claiming the Kruegers
had fired only after being fired on ana
