PLEDGES TO CENTRAL
 BUILDING FUND DUE

Pledges on the Central College build ing fund are now due and donors are asked to make payment as promptly as possible as delay might retard work on the building now being construct ed. President Doak s. Campbell re- quested that payments be made either direct to the college or any of the banks here.
 Concrete foundations for the build ing have been completed and the con- tractors will soon start the super structure. Only a small amount of weather proofing remains to be com pleted on the foundations. Market conditions have made it easier to ob- tain building materials and work will hereafter progress more rapidly, it is thought.

More Eggs Would Relieve
 Some of Cotton Worries

"0n one farm l found different con ditions. The farm had modern poul- try house, 14 by 40 feet, open front shed roof, facing south. Perches were arranged on level with the dropping boards. The floor was dry and GOV cred with oak leaves to the depth ot 12 inches where 125 hens were work ing hard at sunset to fill their crops before roasting time. I found fom pans containing butter milk under z shed and 1 was sure that eggs coulG be found. As reward for good treat ment the flock returned 62 eggs that day.
 I've should like to see a flock of uniform standard poultry on every farm in the state and shall not con sider our mission a success or in any way complete until this has been ac- complished. No until we do have standard breed flocks can we expect to demand top prices for our products in competition with A-grade products
 However, the world was not made in a day, so right step in the direc- tion of developing uniform focks is the next best thing we can do. Dis pose of that scrubby, scaly-legged narrow, knock -kneed rooster and get standard bred Plymouth Rock Rhode Island Red, Orphington, Leg horn or any other good vigorous utility bird and you will be so well pleased with the improved flyers, bullets and egg production next year that you will go the whole way another year with an exclusive flock of standard bred fowls"

Fayetteville, Dec. 20.-H the poui- fsy fioci1s of Arkansas were housed properly aad were all securing the right kind of feed, now that eggs in Little Rock are nearing the dollar mark and in New York are quarter of the way on the second dollar, the state would not have to worry about the low prices of cotton. If farmers w,so have poultry hocks are not sup plying a part of these "golden eggs Gi IS thesr own fault, declares H. B Lsansden, poultry specialist of the az y,cuitural extension division, Univer- s.ty of Arkansas.
 Recently visited eight farms in aae day in company with the county farm agent for the purpose of culling tbe focks because they were produc- lag no eggs" says MT. Lansden. "On seven of these farms I found that an average of T5 hens were being main. t,,uted that were laying an average of one dozen eggs a day. A few had poultry houses of the makeshift type wsth two-inch cracks on all sides roosts of the ladder type reaching from thef ront entrance to the cave of the back wall and the entire floor covered with from two to four inches of manure The focks had no quar- ters in which to spend cold wet days. The feed consisted wholly of corn and 10 many instances was fed from the back kitchen door. As for egg pro duction. 80 per cent of the hens were capable of producing eggs under prop CT management and feed. There were fett few hens to be classed as culls.

Big Men Who Are Unusually
Bright Are in the Minority

It is generally accepted that great
development of the powers of the
brain is usually accompanied by only
moderate animal or physical life. In
those cases where high development of
both is found, 1t is emphatically mark
ed by shortness of existence or defec-
tive vitality in the structures of or
ganlc life and low organization. Men
tai celebrities of large stature have
been in a noticeable minority, and the
standard of health very low in fact,
according to John o. London's Week
~, from Alfred the Great to Schiller
the physical defects have been pain
fully apparent, and the roll of death
less names seems to be the list of a
gathering of invallds and cripples.

THE MIDDLE AGE

Our youth began with tears and signs,
With seeking what we could not find;
Our verses were all threnodies,
In elegiacs still we whined;
Our ears were deaf, our eyes were blind,
We sought, and knew not What We sought.
We marvel, now we look behind;
LIES more amusing than we thought
Oh, foolish youth, untimely wise!
oh, phantoms Of the sickly mindi
What? not content with seas and skies,
With rainy clouds and southern wind.
With common cares and faces kind,
With pains and joys each mornina
brought?
All, old and worn, and tired we find
Life's more amusing than we thought!
Though youth turns spectre-thin and
dies
To mourn for youth we're not inclined;
we set our souls on salmon flies,
We whistle where we once repined,
Confound the woes of humankind!
BY heaven we're well deceived" I wot;
Who hum contented and resigned,
"Life's more amusing than we thought"l
ENVOY.
o nate mecum, worn and lined
Our faces show, but that is naught;
Our hearts are young meath wrinkled

busy little creatures whose graceful
motions and interesting habits con-
tribute much to the entertainment OF
all mankind.
"It was in the eternal fitness of
things that the squirrels should do
something for nature in return for the
gift of a joyous existence; so they set
about helping her to plant her garden.
The chipmunks buried beech nuts and
chestnuts and acorns in the ground,
and thus did their part in the scheme
of scientific forestry. The red squir-
rels dropped hazelnuts, butternuts,
cherry stones and pine along
the walls and fences and s~traightway

Graphic Chart Shows That
Human Life Appeared Late
in the Quaternary Period

A geologist, writing to the Scientific
American, describes by means of q
graphic chart the comparative lengths
of the different periods of the age of
the earth. He places the age of the
earth arbitrarily at 100000 years,
represented by a clock dial of "a hours
100000 years to each hour.
On the above basis the first six hours
of the clock represents Azoic time, the
earliest conjectural period of the
earth's formation = 100000 years;
the next six hours Eozoic and the next
eight Palezoic time-1S,000 900 and a.
100000 years, respectively-periods of

FANATIC VISITS DENVER,
 SHOCKS CHIEF OF POLICE

DENVER, Dec. 28-The chief of police of this city has asked the district attorney to investigate the activities of Joshua Sykes, leader of a cult of 500 who call themselves the followers of Jehovah.

 Sykes is known in Oakland, where a crowd of citizens recently became incensed over the reports of his teachings. They tore the American flag from the altar, burned his tent and threw Sykes into the Baptist fountain which formed a part of his tabernacle. Immediately thereafter Sykes told of having "vision" and his followers to accompany him to Denver.
