AMERICAN OFFICER LEADS LONESOME
 LIFE IN CASTLE
Luxuries of German Nobil ity Seem to Mock Home
 sick Sammies.

Coblenz, Feb. 16.-f Correspondence of The Associated Press. l-In a great castle on hill and with count and countess and their four daughters as his nearest Heighbors dwells today the lonesomest American in all the occupied territorv of Germany FTe is Lieutenant John W Scott, of Detroit commanding Company K. 28th Infan- try, on outpost duty at the stepping off" place of the Coblenz bridgehead where It skirts beautiful valley stretching away toward Berlin.
 Just across the hallway from the quarters of the Lieutenant on the second floor of the castle, Count and Countess von Walderdorf have been allowed to remain by courtesy of army officers But the Germans keep to themselves, looking upon the Americans as invaders, and an army anti-fraternization order prohibits Lieutenant Scott from visiting them.
 On the first floor of the castle if ty American soldiers have their beds and mess and large living room where they play cards and enjoy each others company during the long even ings and tell of their war experiences and of all the wonderful things they intend to do when they get home again. Lieutenant Scott spends his evenings, alone, devouring book after book
 Have Few Visitors.
 Visitors are few at this further most outpost across the Rhine twenty miles from Coblenz. During the day the Lieutenant makes his rounds, visiting one sentinel after another. always alone At the foot of the hill crowned by the castle of Molsberg is the village of Molsberg of which Lieutenant Scott is military comman- der, but he talks to the townspeople only on questions of business. And so day after day, the Lieutenant meets no one excepting his soldiers and the civilians on routine matters of duty.
 The meals of this lonliest of Amer jeans are served in his quarters where he dimes, alone, with giddy green war rior tapestry figures gazing down upon him from their places on the walls just where they were hung something like three hundred years ago. The figures of one panel picture gay and jolly party and all the oth- CTS suggest companionship in some form,
 The officer has telephone which reaches to Montabaur, the First Div ision headquarters, but it's use is re- stricted to business only. There are other conveniences too including cleo tric lights and running water and a wonderful stove reaching halfway to the ceiling and at the bottom the old German makers name and the date 1764. But to the lonely Lieutenant even the fire in the stove sometimes seems almost cold.
 Lieutenant Scott's nearest Ameri- can officer neighbor is five or six miles away out across the eight thous- and acres owned by the Count. Af- ter dark visits are out of the uues- ton. And so when overcome by lone someness. and weariness from reading, the Lieutenant tumbles into sev- enteenth century bed which stands in the same position it has been all these years. And within easy reach is the telephone by which he knows event ually will come the welcome news for which so long he has been longing We've been ordered home"

FARMING HINTS
 THAT ARE HELPFUL
Prepare Seed Bed Properiy.

Due to the fact that farming opera tions are quite late in opening up in Arkansas there is tendency to only half prepare the seed bed This should certainly be avoided or the final production will show poorer re- suits. A well prepared, deep, roomy, {, we'll pulverized firm seed bed is es- seniar for best results.

Iauds Americanization Work.
 Mr. Cook spoke at some length on Am ericanization, showing the very great i'm mportance which the nation and the state attach to this work and explaining in detail the proposed ex- penditures for this work in this city.
 Ut isn't the foreigner alone who needs Americanizing. There are some people on this side of the track who need it. We have got to get closer to the foreign CT, understand him bet ter and create a mutual sym pathy."
 Favors Tenc1ers' Salaries.
 Tn discussing the school question, Mir. Cook said that the proposed in- crease in teachers salaries was not out of proportion to the increases in salaries in other professions and trades due to the higher costs of all the necessities of life. He defended certain expenditures for fire escapes and other needed improvements in the interest Of the life and the health of our children. He declared that while there was criticism from some quarters it was his belief that the educational program for the City of New Britain was one of the moro modern in the country.
 He also discussed tho needed ex- penditures in the fire and police de- partments saving the rapid growth of i our city demanded an increase in l fire and police protection, which could 1 only be had at an increased cost. 1 Tn closing, Mir. Cook said that if ] these things were needed in the best 1 interest of our city it was every man $ l duty 10 stand for the added eXpendi- ] tl1rc no matter if it raised his taxes l or his rent.

 tSSted in these vital matters con- lSefming the city and should take more Interest in all of the affairs concern ing civic life. He justified discussing these matters from the pulpit by cit ing the prophets, who always raised their voices in defense of the people, even in the face of kings and rulers. He also used instances in the life of Christ and the fathers to show that they considered it their duty to speak out on questions of civic righteous ness. He said that the big work, for example, of John Calvin was not his theology, but what he did for the city of Geneva. He also cited. as more m odern men, Phillips Brooks and Henry Ward Beecher.
 City Not Assessed 100 Per Cent
 MT. Cook went on to say that he was taking this matter up at this service, in particular, because he had found through conversation that there were many people who did not fully understand many of the issues involved in the discussion, and he be- lieved such an open meeting where there could be free and full discus sion, would always prove beneficial. MT. Cook then explained the two tax districts of the city and why there was an extra levy on the second, or inside district. He also showed just what was taxable in any concern, and said that the taxable valuation of a factory Or a business in any city n1i fight be much below the real value of the business. You cannot tax he said, the patronage a. man has built up through i his business, yet that may be worth 1 more to him than his building and 1 stock.
