BIBLE FOR CHINA
New Translation Has Been the
 Work of Many Years.
Said to Be the First Ever Put Into the National Language of the Race, and Almost Perfect Literary
 Production.

After continuous labor extending over more than a quarter of a century by Chinese and foreign scholars, the announcement is made a new transla- tion of the Bible has been completed for the Chinese people. The publica- tion of this translation at an early date, under the title of the Revised Mandarin Bible," is announced by the American Bible society. The compile tion of the work will, it is stated, place this particular version in the hands of more individuals than were ever reached by any other translation. There have been Bibles in China for them, but the forthcoming issue will be the first translated into the national language of the Chinese and it is claimed that it will be the most nearly perfect literary production in the Chinese republic.
 It will be interesting to many ob. servers the world over to take care. ful note in the years to come of the effect of this translation upon the masses of the people of China. From the point of view of the western world, China is not rich in literature. This estimate is not disputed by many of the Chinese educated in America, and European colleges. Confucius, when he edited what the Chinese de- nominate the sacred canOns, in the sixth century before the Christian era. prescribed the model Of Chinese liter ary form, and reached, in the belief of his followers, the pinnacle of phil oSophic wisdom. These classics, in- cluding the works edited and actually written by those who called them selves his disciples, possibly excel, in literary merit at least, the works of any other ancient civilization, and it is true that no other written words have for so many centuries nodded the character, culture, morals and gov ernment of so great a nation. The veneration given throughout the cen- turies to the wisdom of Confucius has, because of the constant study of his philosophy, preserved the language al. most unchanged for thirty centuries, and set permanent standard in the nations literature. In one of the books of this great series, that known as the "Analects" of Confucius, in which his views and maxims are re- tailed by his disciples, there are given what purport to be accounts of the habits and records of the teachings of the great Chinese moralist. In it there is found the sage's text on altruism, called the golden rule in its Chinese form. which, translated, reads: "What you would not others should do unto you, do not unto them" ."-Christian Science Monitor.

SOY BEANS A GOOD CROP FOR ARKANSAS

It IS unfortunate that farmers ger
 eraiiy do not appreciate the value of soy beans as crop" declares Mar tin Nelson, Vice Director and Apro. nomist of the Arkansas Experiment Station, University of Arkansas in q recent article published in Farm and Ranch. "As feed producing crop on a livestock farm, it is one of the very best. As cash crop, present prices of seed places it far in the lead of small grains. It is safe to predict that the soy beans will in the near fu- ture become leading farm crop in large areas of the southern states. 7"
 While the soy bean was considered as new crop few years ago, MT. Nelson points out that it is so well adapted to southern farming because its period of growth is short enough to allow of it being planted after wheat and oats are harvested that if is rapidly becoming established as a forage and hay crop.
 "Mediu into large growing varieties are preferable for hay, seed and hog feed," MT. Nelson says. "The Nam moth Yellow has come to be as near standard sany variety known, due to its habits of large growth and average good production of seed. This variety sometimes succeeds in matur- ing seed from plantings as late as the early part of July. For produc- ing both hay and seed, such early va- rieties as Haberlandt, Medium Yel- low and Peking are preferable to the well known Mammoth Yellow variety. Other good varieties are Barchet, Bill oxi, Chiquita and Early Brown"
 Soy beans grown on good soil can be expected to produce a two ton yield of hay that is desirable feed for horses, cattle, sheep, goats and other livestock. Furthermore, MT. Nelson points out that, "the fact should not be overlooked that the soy bean is a legume and the soils will be bene- fitted by it's growth.

Prof. Charles F. Marvin, chief of the United States weather bureau, and a new self-recording weather-observ- ing instrument called meteorograph, which he has invented. The instru- ment automatically indicates various changes in weather conditions at any altitude. It Is lifted into the air by large box kite secured to earth by piano wire. The wire is fed from a steel drum containing eight or ten miles of wire. Frequently at the six box-kite stations maintained by the bu- reau as many as ten kites are oper- ated on one line. One outfit broke away from the Georgia station and helplessly entangled mule in a cot tonfield. After three men had released the mule the meteorograph was found unharmed

A TIMELY RAIN

The rain that has fallen in this territory during the past week was worth millions. If it now clears up and we can have ten days more of sunshine we will have a splendid prospect for fine fall crops,
 Thursday morning we rode along the Y, & M, V, Railroad as far as Lula, and then fowrard to Helena, We spent a few hours in Helena, city of beautiful homes, great busi ness and manufacturing activity. In some fields the corn was higher than ones head. In other fields it was knee high. Where there was labor the corn and cotton were fairly clean, but here and there were fields that had not been planted because of the wet spring.
 In the evening as we turned the rain was falling. The rain insures good yield in the cornfields, wher the stalks are beginning to open at the top.
 We believe it would be well if the people of the south would break their corn land during the winter and be ready to disc or harrow and plant the first day in the spring when the ground is dry.
 Planting corn early, in well-pre- pared soil with lots of blowing, vii insure crop in West Tennessee, Ar kansas or Mississippi year in and year out, just as certainly as crop is being grown in Missouri or Ken lucky.
 The failure of many corn crops in the south is due to the fact that the land is poorly plowed and is not titled until after the corn is up.-The Com mercial Appeal.

Keeping Warm With Games.

Games were never so popular as now in country houses, and the req son is not far to seek. Living rooms are not heated as they were in the good old times, and guests, young and old, vote for games because they are warming. There isn't better game of ball than lives" known in the days of Queen Elizabeth and declared by her to be "the best sport she had ever seen. ."-The Gentlewoman.

MT. Wilson may be sick in his foot or lame in his arm, but his thinking apparatus works with precision and steadiness of Corliss engine. The aggressiveness of the Republican plat form is solely in personal attacks on himself. When it comes to declaring upon issues the platform is shifty evasive and delphic.
 MT. Wilson shows that the platform was made so as to gve the least of- fene to the varous groups in the Re- publican party. He challenges the platform leaders for evading defi nite declaration on the league of na- tions. He taunts the leaders for model ing their conduct after Bismark and ernhardi rather than after that of Lincoln and Washington. He de nounces the Republican congress for impotency during the 12 months of Republican control.
 MT. Wilson, the leading Democrat, of this country, dodges on nothing. Attacked by the Republicans, he makes a tremendous counter attack. He has made it so that the Democrats can be on the offensive from the very day to the close of the San Francisco convention.
 If the Democratic party at San Francisco is emphatic and forward moving in it's declaration and if the delegates nominate an aggressive leader of high character and good sense, there is a fine opportunity for a victory this fall

 hrlv i of these 5 states has a com ,ory school law for children up to

 nermits many exemptions. Both ,snts and children, through ignor- p of the value of schooling, are ! to take advantage of the legal Iht to dodge an education. In a re- N study of school attendance in Iveland. it was found that 2550 |Nren were so irregular in their at- Ldance at school as to interfere with er studies, and that the reasons for lying out of school were in many ,es trivial. Among foreign groups, jNren were kept at home on bar in or market days to act as inter- eters for their mothers.
 In addition to lax school attendance IS, 8 of the 5 states permit child 16 years old and younger to work n if they can not read or write have never been to school.
