COTTON MEN ID SEE
 FAMOUS SEED FARM
TOURISTS WILL INSPECT NOTED SEED FARM AT EVANSVILLE,
 SOUTH CAROLINA.
HAS A COMPLETE GIN PLANT
Farm Employs Staff of Seed Experts Which Has Been Engaged in Breed ing Cotton That Will Mature Ear
 ly and Produce Large Yields.

Little Rock.-One of the most in teresting places to be visited on the tour of Georgia aud the Carolinas to be given under auspices of the Arkan- sas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce July 31-August will be the famous Coker seed farm near Hartsville, s. c. It will be visited August 5.
 On this farm a staff of experts has been engaged for IS years in breeding cotton that will mature early, produce large yields, yield a high percentage of lint, produce plants strongly resist ant to disease and weather damage, that will produce long, strong fibre and high quality of lint with uni form fibre and minimum waste. Dr. H. J. Weber, who recently resigned from the University of California to take charge Of the work on this farm, is the highest-salaried seed breeding specialist in the world.
 The farm is controlled by the Peoi- greed Seed Company of which David R. Coker is president. For the bene- 1t of the Arkansas tourists, MT. Coker has written something about the work of the farm in part as follows:
 My interest in seed breeding was aroused about IS years ago when l began selecting individual plants of short staple cotton on my Huntsville plantation and began plant-to-row breeding. I continued this work alone
 or several years, but f1nali- it became too heavy. Assistant breeders were engaged and the work rapidly grew both in prospects and expense. The work proceeded uninterruptedly for eight years before we produced a strain of cotton that we considered worthy of distribution.
 gro continue and make broadly use- ful the work that I had begun, it be- came necessary to commercialize this plant breeding work when the expense became more than our farming ope- rations could bear Therefore, the Pedigreed Seed Breeding Company was formed with myself as president. tke breeding force was enlarged, a commercial organization established and full equipment of machinery for cleaning and separating seed was in stalled. This included a complete gin plant.

Success Through Optimism.

At one time while building the Pana- ma canal there were eight thousand men engaged in the Culebra cut alone. Every night as much soil slid into the cut as could be taken out during the day. But there was not sign of dis couragement-the men enjoyed the fight. Colonel Goethals walked through the cut one morning just after an extensive slide. The foreman had been on the job since midnight.
 'Nell, how is everything this morn ing, MT. Hogan?" asked Goethals.
 "Fine, Colonel, fine. It buried that steam shovel over there and tipped over two batteries of drills and GOV cred all the tracks through the cut but one. but everything's fine, sir. We're diggin'"-H. H. Moore in The Youth of Nation.

WAR sH0Rn OF ITS GLAMoR
Modern Painters, Who Themselves Have Looked on Death, Depict
 Slaughter as It realIy Is.

For the first time in history war Is painted as 1t Is. The varnlsh. the glory has been taken off. It stands out in all it's sodden horror. The opening of the Salon des Artistes Francois, filled for the most part with canvases of men who have been in the trenches, show an astonishing ab- eence of battle scenes.
 Most of the painters have sought in- spiration elsewhere. Those who have found 1t in the war have rendered only the dull misery of life at the front.
 They show no clash of armies, these painters who have been through the war, no flourish of trumpets, not even fragments of general fights. But war as 1t is. A soldier, lifnping toward the lines, exhausted, despairing, hold ing up to his mouth handkerchief, dark as clot of blood is what one sees. The face Is distorted with suf- fering, and the uniform Is of that in- describable color which comes only from continual exposure to the ele- ments. Garry paints blinded soldier guided towards a relief station, Michel and Pouzargues show water-fooded trenches.
 If governments in the future wish more pleasant and cheerful war scenes they will have to call on art ists who stayed away from the front. Those who served were too close to death to paint anything but the truth.

Barton Town Reports Out

Barton town reports are now going
into the hands of the voters and will
be looked over with interest between
now and Tuesday, March meeting day.
The report of the auditors shows
that the net liabilities of the town
are $4741.36 whereas last year there
were net resources of $299.79. Much
of this difference went into the build
ing of the road which was washed out
between Barton and Orleans during one
of the cloud bursts last summer and
was an unforeseen item when estimates
were made last year.
There appears to be no special ex-
citement over town meeting this year
although something usually warns
the meeting up before it is over.
Aside from the routine business there
is little in the warning of special busi-
ness except the question of exemptine
certain properties in town, which arti-
cles were printed in full last week

Government Tax on Sugar Cakes

According to ruling of j. E. Ken
nedy of Burlington, collector of inter-
nal revenue for this district, every
farmer who manufactures small
sugar cakes will be liable to a $50
federal tax on the sale price of such
sugar.
A Rutland man who puts sugar out
in the form of small cakes asked for
information regarding the subject and
received the following from Mr.. Ken
nedy which clearly classifies small
sugar cakes as bearing a $50 tax pay
able to the United States govern
ment.
''Please be advised that when maple
sugar is manufactured and sold in
small cakes, with or without nut meats
dropped on top, in a form suitable
for use as candy, and which is actually
purchased and used as confection
it is taxable under paragraph nine
of section 900, revenue acts of 1918
when sold by the manufacturer"
