AT LOCKSLEY HALL

Comrades, leave me here little,
While as yet tits early morn:
Leave me here and when you want me
Sound upon the bugle horn.
'Tis the place, and all around it,
AS of old, the curfews call,
Dreary CLEANS about the moorland
Flying over Locksley Hall.
Locksley Hall, that in the distance
Overlooks the sandy tracts
And the hollow ocean ridges
Roaring into cataracts.
Many night from yonder ivied easement,
Ere went to rest,
Did look on great Arion
slipping slowly to the west.
Many night I saw the Pleads,
Rising through the mellow shade,
Filter like a swarm of fire flies,
Tangled in a silver braid.

Pm rather sorry l began!"

FACTS ABOUT THE FLAG

After the adoption of the Declaration of
Independence in 1875, it was felt that
national emblem should be chosen, and on
June 14,1776, the resolution was adopted
in Congress that the flag of the Thirteen
United States shall be thirteen stripes,
alternate white and red, and that the
Union be thirteen white stars on a blue
field.
June 14th is kept as a national holiday
to celebrate the birth of our beloved BAN
ner.
The national holidays are such by gen.
eral custom and observance and not be-
cause of congressional legislation. Con-
gress has passed no laws establishing hol-
idays for the whole country. President
Wilson issued proclamation May 80,
1916, requesting that June IA be observed
as Flag Day Throughout the nation.
The word "Aag" is derived from the
Anglo-Saxon, "Aeogan," meaning ito float
or fly in the wind" and there are some
interesting customs and practices in con-
nection with the flag.
The end of the flag fastened to the staff
is known as the hoist, and the length from
the support to the free end is called the
fly. Flags are borne on the mast by vessels
to designate the country to which they be-
long, and also on war vessels, to show
the rank of the officer by whom a ship is
commanded. When a naval ship enters
the port of foreign nation, it hoists the
flag of that country and fires salute of
twenty-one guns.
To strike the flag is to haul it down,
indicating surrender; to dip it is to lower
it slightly and then run it up again, a
form of salute. A flag floating half way
up the pole is at half mast, sign of
mourning; flag reversed, that is, upside
down, indicates distress. A white flag,
often called flag of truce, is token of
surrender, or indicates that one of the
combatants wishes to communicate with
the other. A yellow flag waving over
hospital vessel or port means that the place
is in state of quarantine.-Ex.

A LOST CITY IN MEsOPOTAM1A

A striking instance of the service that
aerial photography can render to archaeo-
logy comes, according to the London
Sphere, from Mesopotamia, where the al
most obliterated site of an immense gar
den city on the bank of the Tigris was dis
covered and mapped by an aeroplane
camera. Without aerial photographs the
city would probably have appeared to be
only meaningless low mounds, scattered
here and there, for much of the detail
was not recognized on the ground.
The area was first photographed from
the air, then six-inch-scale blue prints
were made and transferred to the plane
table, and finally supplementary ground
surveys were made. The ruins extend
for some twenty miles along the left bank
of the Tigris, above and below the present
town of Samara, with a breadth of from
one to two and half miles. Near the
river the site is laid out regularly with
wide streets that intersect at right angles.
In some quarters the planning is less regu-
lar, but as a rule the streets are straight.
The blocks near the river are larger than
those farther from the bank, and no doubt
indicate that the weather. classes once
lived there. On the east side of the GEN.
trail quarter public garden was laid out
as qaartrefenille, with pavilion in the
centre. Scattered about the site were a
number of square detached forts with cir
cular towers at the corners
There was highly elaborate and scien-
tifc irrigation system such as has been
introduced in the Punjab only in recent
times, and an ancient canal skirted the
site. Lient. Col. c. A. Beazeley, who dis
covered the city, found also the ruins of
a barrage with full equipment of sluices
and regulators. He makes no attempt to
determine the age of the ruins.-Ex.

WHERE THE GRASS GROWS

Oh, let me hence to empty wastes
Where the kind wind sweeps free;
Where silence has her brooding place
And on the earth's untrodden face
The grass grows like the sea,
All gray-green, ripping to and fro,
When the soft breezes DER it blow.
Oh, let me hence to open plains
Where there is no mans mark;
Where sound is naught but natures sigh,
Or chance heron's lonely cry
Out of the gathering dark
The dark that in the land of men
Is pierced to aching light again
Oh, let me hence that I may seek
The balm of quiet space;
Choked in the dust of countless feet,
The bars which so vainly beat
Oft crumble from their place,
When sleep brings back old days to me,
Out where the grass grows like the sea.

$3,816,663

On the same basis all other property in the state paid only $15592, 652 The utilities actually paid more than S3,816,663, because they are subject to taxes not levied against other property owners such taxes as pole cor poration, franchise, and other special levies.. If all the utilities in Arkansas were forced out of business by reason of inadequate rates or unjust legislation the people of Arkansas not only would be deprived of the comfort convenience. protection, pleasure and profit provided by the operation of the light, telephone, water, gas and railway companies. but the rate Of taxation would have to be increased to make up the four million the utilities pay toward public improve ments, governmental expense and schools In addition to the S3,816663 practically every utility has signed for the voluntary school tax

 At $400 for 100 pounds the profit above feed cost for each 100 pounds of milk in herd No. 1 was S3.30; in herd No. 2, $3.12; in herd No. 3, s3.70 and in herd No. 4 $3.34; or at 50 cents pound for butterfat, the profit for each pound produced in herd No. 1, Was A cents; in herd No. 2, 42 cents; in herd No. 3, 53 cents and in herd No, 4, 51 cents.
 The total production of milk by herd No. 1, was 17,221 pounds, of butter fat, 74S.4 pounds; herd No. 2, 14, ,670 pounds of milk and 690.6 pounds of butter fat; herd No. 3, 11,186.5 pounds of milk and 494 pounds of butter fat; and of herd No. 1, 8,710.5 pounds of milk and 1922 pounds of butter fat.
 The total profit from the milk pro- duced by herd No. 1 at S4.00 for 100 pounds of milk was S5877S, butter fat at 50 cents a pound was $324. .06; from herd No 2, milk S45770, butter fat S2S4 .53; herd No. 3, milk S40390, butter fat S257.S6, and from herd No. 1, milk S307 92 and butter fat, S21S.59
 These records were kept during the summer months when feed costs were low and since it takes about 50 cents of feed day to feed cow it can readily be seen that some of the cows in the above herds will be mixed at a loss during the winter months when feed is high. But because milk pro ducts are also high, the margin of profit or loss between the good and the poor COW will be greater.
 The lesson that the First National Bank wished to teach the farmers was to keep good cows, know that they are good by using test and feed records, and then feed them well, but feed them according to what they win produce. Do not feed all cows | the same amount.
 It is planned to put number of herds in Washington county on a years test beginning with January 1. 1921. Any farmer who wishes to enter his herd can get information and the required blanks by writing to R. H. Mason. University of Arkan- sas, or w. H. Woodley, Agricultural Extension Division, Fayetteville.

RAzORBACKs HOLD OWLS TO

Even by holding the football squad Of Rice Institute down to a score of 0-0 on Thanksgiving at Houston, Texas, the Razorback team of the University of Arkansas did not win the championship of the Southwest conference for this year, although the fight was close one. This was tie last game of the season, and the decision really hinged on it's outcome
 Next years schedule is already heinz shaped, and some idea of the standing of the Arkansas team can be gained from the fact that Centre College in Kentucky is asking for a game to be played perhaps in Mem pflis. Centre won fame by playing against Harvard this fall.

MAKE OLD MACHINERY SERVE
 ANOTHER YEAR

Cotton, corn, hogs, cattle and other farm products, selling on declining market. plus the reluctance of trade channels to lessen former profits has caused general depression in busi- ness. The farmer will be the double sufferer next spring no matter what future trading will do.
 In the case of farm machinery and repairs for farm implements neces- sary for spring operation there will undoubtedly be shortage. The farmer does not have the money to pay present due accounts and mer chants do not have credit to place or ders for necessary implements and parts. Not having the orders the manufacturers will not produce the goods. As a result, next spring much machinery will not be available. Such a situation will give the farmer a chance to practice some good farm economy.

RICE SALES PROVE BIG BY
 COMPARISON
Small Demand Now Held Due to the
 Prevailing Financial Strain

With as many pockets sold during the present year as up to the same time last year, and 1919 was a ban ner year, a good demand for rice shortly after January l was forecast Tuesday by Max J. Winkler, member of the marketing committee of the Southern Rice Association.
 Statistics just made public by the Rice Millers' Association show that S63,263 pockets of rice were sold dur ing October, as compared to 1.007 ,o87 pockets sold during the same month last year, or a difference of only A. 324 pockets.
 - Practically the entire output of the rice belt, said MT. Winkler, has been placed under the control of the mar keting committee of the Southern Rice Growers Association. Work ing under the direction of the mar keting committee is valuation com mittee which sets the price at which clean rice should be sold. The price on the best rice, fancy Honduras, Tuesday was 3-4 cents pound. That the small demand for rice zat the present time is due to the finan- cial strain, which is holding dealers aff, and not surplus stocks was the assertion made by Mr. Winkler.
 Dealers have been buying from hand to 'mouth," said MT. Winkler, "and have no surplus stocks on hand. As soon as the financial strain is eased, which should be shortly after January 1, there will be big demand for rice. This condition puts the rice men in a better situation than the cotton or sugar men, as the lack of demand for those commodities is due to surplus stocks"
 In the special report just sent out by the Rice Millers' Association it is shown that receipts of rough rice during this season amounted to 2,282,- 523 pockets, as compared to 2,250. 166 pockets during the same time last year.
 Distribution of milled rice during this season reached 1895, ,183 pockets as compared to 1,705-199 pockets dur ing the same time last year Ship ments to Porto Rico this season amounted to 211 or pockets as com pared to S6,056 pockets during the same time last season.
 Stocks up to November 1 amounted to 965, 953 pockets as compared to 8S3,807 pockets last year. Stocks in New Orleans up to October 1 were: Rough rice, 145,054; .milled rice, 175,- 9.8, making total of 320,982 as con- pared to 296, 799 pockets last year.

DAIRY HERD TESTS SHOW SOME
 INTERESTING FACTS

In April of last spring the First National Bank of Fayetteville, Ar kansas, offered a series of money prizes to farmers of Washington county under the conditions thst the awards were to be made at the coun- ty fair and were to be given for the purpose of developing the dairy in dustry in Northwest Arkansas.
 Farms who competed for the prize had to enter at least five cows, and keep weight records of milk produc- tion and cost records of feed used during the period from May first to September 15. Some interesting and important data that every farmer who milks cows should have concern ing his herd was collected. The ma terial has been tabulated and con tains results from records as to the total production and the average daily production of each COW. the cost of production for each 100 pounds of butter fat produced by each cow, the total production of each herd, total feed cost, and the cost for each 100 pounds of milk and each pound of butter fat.
 A study of the results obtained win snow that although the higher pro- ducing herds cost more for feed and 100 pounds of r,ilk, yet by reason of the added production, the aggregate profit was greater
 The four herds receiving prizes were entered by w. A. Coe, Fayette- vile, first; L. I. Moore, Fayetteville, second; G. E. Lee, Summers, third and c. F. Beeson, Lincoln, fourth. Monthly butter fat tests were made on each farm under direction of Coun- ty agent, J. F. Backstrom. R. H. Ma son of the University of Arkansas Creamery, and W. H. Woodley of the Agricultural Extension Division.
 In working out the feed cost, all grain and hay was figured at cost price and pasture was charged against each COW at s1.50 a month. In figuring the profit, selling price of s400 for 100 pounds of milk and 50 cents pound for butter fat was taken. The feed cost of herd No. 1 during the period was $124.75; of herd No. 2, s129.25; of herd No. 3, $33.75; and of herd No. 4, $40.50. This total feed cost made the cost of 100 pounds of milk in herd No. l, 70

Public Utilities Pay One-Fifth of Taxes!

Public utility companies pay 20 per cent of all taxes collected in Arkansas
 This surprising fact is shown by the 1919 assessments. The total valuation of all property was S588, 161.065. Of this amount the utilities represented one e-ffth, or S115,656,47
 Consider what this means: All lumber mills, all mines, all fac tories, all buildings of whatsoever nature, all improved and unimproved land everything in the state, except public service companies, paid only S4 in taxes for every S1 paid by the public utilities.
