Why Grimm Alfalfa is Best

What makes Grimm Alfalfa harder
than common alfalfa? Is it the wide
ly speading crown or the more wide
iy branching root system? Or is its
hardness just an inherited character
istic?
Probably all three have something
to do with it. The Grimm variety has
both branched and straight tap rooted
plants, but the percentage of branched
rooted plants is considerably higher
than in common alfalfa. This may
make 1t more resistant to the heaving
effect OF freezing and thawing wealth
er.
The crown of the Grimm variety is
larger, low set, widely branched and
spreading. 1t is often completely un.
der the surface of the soil. Common
alfalfa on the other hand has a small
erect crown which sets high above the
ground and is more exposed to freez-
ing and thawing.
One interesting Characteristic about
Grimm alfalfa is that it prepares itself
for the seige of winter. After the
third cutting 1t grows rather sluggish
ly. BY the middle Of October 1t might
grow or inches high, while the com
mon alfalfa might be foot or more
high. II begins to turn brown. be
comes dormant, and stops growing. 1t
In then ready for winter. II is like a
burrowing animal: it hibernates early
for winter. On the other hand the
common variety keeps right on grow.
ing until killing frost hits 1t. This
sudden change no doubt has q great
deal to do with the killing of alfalfa
The Grimm alfalfa is the early to
bed and early TO rise strain In other
words II is the first to slumber in the
fall and the first TO awaken to springs
call.
After Grimm alfalfa is planted IL will
stand much longer than the common
strain. Common alfalfa may stand
good for several years, but in mos'
cases 1t begins TO winter kill when the
field is two or three years old

Christians lnuade
 The Holy Land
Southern Methodists Send First Work. CTS to Palestine for Bible and
 Literature Distribution.
Special Correspondence)

Nashville, Tenn. - The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has the dis tinction of being the first Christian denomination to send workers to Pales- tine since the free regime inaugurated under the occupancy of General Al lenby.
 The Centenary European Commission of the Church, headed by Bishop James Atkins and Dr. w. B. Beauchamp, have already dispatched five colporteurs to the Holy Land. These will be followed by five more in the next few weeks.
 These workers will establish no sta. tions, but will follow the early Metho. dist custom of itinerating over the country distributing Bibles, tracts and Christian literature.
 This literature will be printed in the native dialects, and will be secured through an arrangement with the Nile Press in Egypt.
 Under the rule of the Turk such a movement would have been prohibited, but under Allenby there is perefct free dom of religions. The action of the Southern Methodists is the beginning of a vast scheme of missionary actiy. ity which will be carried on in the Holy Land.

INFLUENZA CAUSE OF
 TUBERCULOSIS INCREASE
Cr. S. J. McGraw of SI Dorado Makes Frank Statement tc Fight Disease
 With Seal Funds.

pr. g. J. NeCraw of El Dorado calls attention to the appalling effects of Spanish influenza in increasing tuber- cuiosis Dr. McGraw says:
 As for tuberculosis, we are just now beginning to see what bountt ful harvest the epidemic left Us. Tho influenza bacillus vas very much al home in preparing seedbeds for the great white plague.
 We now have many cases of active tuberculosis which before the cpl demic were latent or did not exist. in either case we have them OF our hands and their proper diagnosis and management, while 1t may yet De tune, Is one of our greatest responsi- tilities.
 Up 10 the present fhe medical profession as whole has been re- metant in pronouncing a case tuber- eular until the germ could be dem onstrated ir the aputum; then. al- most half the patients chance of recovery is gone, for the tubercle bacillus is not present in the sputum until there is an actual breaking down of lung tissue and the case is moderately advanced.
 In order to meet the tuberculosis situation which has been aecentuat- ed by the epidemic the Arkansas Pub lie Health Association is putting on is Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, n per cent Of which will be used to light tuberculosis in Arkansas.

sWIMMINC cAMPAIcN BEGINS

The swimming campaign, during
which women and girls who cannot
swim are to be taught, began Thurs
day of last week in the pool of the
Z. w. c. A. building, within Miss De-
wetta Burkitt, physical director, in
charge. She is being assisted bv
Misses Clara Adams, Ouida May
Adams, Lucille Bender, Vera Moore,
Lee Hold Cesario Flora Sutton,
Frances johnson and others. Glasses
that range from 40 to so pupils are
in daily attendance. and it is thought
that many new swimmers will be
added to the aquarium bunch by the
time of the classes ends next Satur-
day.
As an inducement to get the good
swimmers to aid as teachers, a spe-
cial prize was offered the girl who
would teach the most women and
girls how to swim. The prize will be
awarded at the sunt-night perform
ance next Tuesday night. At that
time several of the new swimmers
will give exhibitions of the art.

Thine was, before the experts

PASSING OF BOOZE

The melancholy months have come,
the saddest of the year, when we
must cut the high-ball out, also the
lager beer. The festive cocktails
disappeared, likewise the Tom and
Jerry, and no more egg-nOg we will
mix to make our hearts feel merry.
And as for juleps made with mint
and sugar, with cracked ice, that
rest them in a trice, they never will
be seen again, they're gone forever
more, and all the joy of life has
fled and left US sad and sore.
Goodbye gin fizz and whiskey
straight, your friendship we must
drop; goodbye champagne, your fes-
tive corks again will never pop.
Goodbye the foaming glass Of suds
with which our thirst we'd Stake, the
drink we claimed would always cheer
but not inebriate. And goodbye
booze of every kind, our friendship
we must sever, for you are banished
from our land forever and forever.
Wen irrigate with water now when
other tipple fails, and fill our thirsty
stomachs full of these darned Swiggle
tails.
The gilded bar Wen see no more,
the barkeep who had charge, in
greasy overalls now works all day in
garage. The glass decanters he
once filled with tempting liquid sin,
he's given to his wife to put tomato
ketchup in. The gorgeous diamond
that he wore with ostentatious show
he's traded as part payment for a
handsome bungalow. The dive down
on the river front, where toughs
would congregate, the rendezvous of
those who were depraved and profit
gate, has also passed, and now the
place is safe as one could wish, the
keeper has quit selling booze and
gone to selling fish!
The breweries that once turned
out the drunkard and the bum will
manufacture after this, soft drinks
and chewing gum, and where strong
drink was once distilled and bottled
for the trade, the gang pillow and the
tractor hereafter will be made.
The workingman who used to
spend for drink his hard-earned
dough, now takes his wife and chill
dren out to see a picture show. His
children now wear better clothes, his
wife grows young again, and he once
more holds up his head among his
fellow men. No more he'll stagger
home with his accustomed jag, and
in the busy walks of life again he'll
never lag. He'll never drive his wife
from home or beat her any more
unless she is a termagant and nags
him till he's sore. For frequently
the happiness of home has gone to
wreck because the wife has lots of
hell developed in her neck!
A revolution has been wrought, a
nation is made dry and booze is ban
ished from the land in the twinkling
Of an eye! Posterity will marvel
much in generations hence, because
their savage ancestors possessed so
little sense as to form a stupid habit
that brought no joy or gains, but
only caused them suffering and stole
away their brains. And in the days
that are to come, it is my firm belief,
that he who drinks will be despised
more than chicken thief
