THE LONG ROAD


We ere women together-my mother
and me,
with our eyes on the dun gray
past,
And he pain che knows Is the pain
I see,
Tef our ways are one at last.
oh, The roads were rough and the
sharp wind tore
Al she battered fiercely ahead;
Ard my brain grew sick and my
heart grew sore,
But followed her whittier, she led,
For 4 mothers cry is a daughters
cry
And the load is the same hard load.
And the mothers lag and the daugh-
ter's fly
rn they meet on the fint-strewn
roadl
n was sweet to rush to her yielding
but it's better to clutch her hand,
And we know our love is the love
that's best
And both of us understand

That Chevrolet.

If you want to make a-tour,
| Out about Deer Lodge;
! You had better take the Overland
The Ford or the Dodge.
If you want to get there before
The close of the day,
You had better not start
With your old Chevrolet.
For you can't alwayshave
Such splendid luck,
AS to get your children on
Some ones truck.
The better thing for you to do,
Is to harness your horse
and saddle him too.
Then tie him behind
Your Chevrolet;
And take your seat
In the usual way.
Then start right out,
In very slow speed;
For the power that's behind,
Will soon be the lead.
And when you have learned,
That your engine is dead,
Just hitch in your horse,
And go right ahead.
Your son will mount
The saddle with a grin;
And you hold the steering wheel,
Till the horse pulls you in.
And while you are resting,
In sweet repose;
Just control your temper,
And pull at your nose.
Then say to your neighbor,
When he comes on the seen,
l think my Chevrolet is
A splendid machine.

DISCOVERING A MISTAKE.

Some counties where officials felt that it was necessary, in the face of
 the grave business conditions, to economize by dispensing with the county agents, are now discovering that this was a serious mistake. Face to face with the necessity of diversi- fying without the exact knowledge of what to plant or how to go about planting them; with the absolute ne cessity of cutting the cost of produc- ton from one half to twO-thirds be low that of last year not knowing just how to reduce this cost-cutting with out reducing the yield; with the im- portance of selling every firm pro duet at the highest possible price without a definitely organized co-op- erative selling association; win the desire to increase the livestock on the farm without thoro knowledge of breeding, care and feeding and of dis
 ease control, with the will to plant home richards without the knowledge of spraying and pruning; withmort- gages or notes falling due on land and equipment without knowing how to get extensions of credit, there has never been a time when a county agent has been SO vitally necessary to farmers of any county in the South as during this year of uncertainty.
 Much as they may desire to do so, county authorities cannot ecomonize, by cutting off their county agent, for this is not economy. They save some few thousand dollars that go to pay the salary, but they rob the county of from ten thousand to several hundred thousand dollars of income which the county agent will bring into the county by his work. No good county agent should be regarded as an ex- pense, but as productive agency that brings in wealth to the county many times over his salary every year. It is all right to economize, but care should be taken not to econ omize by cutting off the source of supplies.-The Progressive Farmer.

 There is bill in the legislature at this time which, if it become a law, will require that all applicants for licenses to teach in the public schools have a minimum amount of narmal training. In order to give all a chance to get this training, arrange ments have already been made to have a six weeks normal for rural teach CTS at each of the agricultural schools beginning on the 9th day of May and closing on the 11th of June. There will be six days of school each week. l presume the teachers of Polk coun- ty will be expected to go to the one at Magnolia. There will be no cost to the teachers except transportation and boatd. Board will be in the dor at cost. The total cost to us should not exceed $35. It is expected that large per cent of the teachers of our county will attend
 
 House bill No. 365 provides that all taxable property be assessed at 100 per cent value for school purposes only. Several of the Polk county dis tricts would be glad to see this pass as it will double the income from the local district tax. Even those who do not need more funds cannot object to this because they have only to vote a lower rate than at present in order to keep the income where it is at pres ent

RECORD BREAKING
 FALL OF SNOW
Measurement by Official Government Observer in Mena Set Depth at IA Inches. Some Others Claiming
 More-Much Inconvenience.

Fridays snowfall was a record breaker in Mena and vicinity. Never before in the history of record keep ing has there been so great a fall of the fleecy beautiful. Old timers who have lived in this section for 40 years report that they do not recall any winter when the snow fall was as heavy as Fridays.
 While the official record showed snow of l4 inch depth Saturday morning at o'clock, number of individual observers report slightly larger snow falls. l.. G. Bell, who lives on De Queen street and has an elevated walk leading from his home to the barn, reports that the snow in this elevat- to shovel the walks clear of snow. Business houses with fiat roofs were forced to get workers busy on them and remove the snow before damage resulted.
 There were mighty few horse drawn vehicles to be seen on Mena's streets Saturday and still fewer motor cars. Two young members of the fair sex who were unable to navigate home ward journey Friday night remained downtown with friends, and Saturday morning chartered a mule drawn wagon to take them home. And the mules had job.
 Fred Duke of the Duke Magruder company, managed to get attention for the "Sale of Sales" out of the unprecedented snow storm. Last month a sale of the company was hindered by inclement weather, and now still greater sale was handi- capped the opening days by much worse weather Fred was blamed for the big snow in a lot of good natured chaffing.
 There is no question that it was deep enough to cause world of trou- ble and annoyance. Veteran employees on the Kansas City Southern railway say they did not recall heavier fall of snow on the Mena division. The local force of track workers was kept busy Friday ahd Saturday in keeping the switches clear and in working or der
 Many of Mena's clerks were late for work Saturday morning and some did not report for duty at all, it be- ing impossible for some of the young ladies to make their way thru the deep drifts. Those of the sterner sex that were on hand early found that the principal duty of the morning was shoveling snow from walks and roofs

HB WANTED TO BE HANGED
 QUITE PUBLICLY.

A Chicago murderer who was hanged one fine morning recently, kept the newspaper readers of that cty entertained during the last week of his life with his denunciations of capital punishment. One day he sug- gested that they publicly hang him in Grant park, which is the lake front adjacent to the business section and it's teeming millions. He said that hundreds of thousands would see him swing and that the gruesomeness of capital punishment would be too much for g5 per cent of them.
 He forgot to speak about the effect on those hundreds of thousands if they had all witnessed the fearful spectacle when he walked into a res- taurant and shot the proprietor dead, nor of the gruesomeness to the people in the dining room when the murdered mans blood was spattered over their tables. We rather imagine that those diners thought pretty well of capital punishment at that particular moment and wished that they could pull the rope.
 Thus it is with all assassins. They forgot about their victims whose joy ous lives they have plotted out, of the wives and mothers and children whom they have stricken with grief. They only think of their own miserable selves of the terrible thing it is for the law to take a life that had no com junction in plotting out another life.
 Perhaps capital punishment should be abolished in the promotion of a greater civilization, but certainly there are two sides to the question.
