Nothing to do With Generals.-A
traveller stopped to chat with a farm

work in his fields.
Most of these men are eX-so:-

Two of 'em. One was a private.

But what aboIt the major and the

farmer with some hesitation.

LIKE A COMIC OPERA
Graphic Pen Picture Of CONSTANT
nople

nOpie.
This great capital, always the
meeting place of Europe and Asia
with a sprinkling of Africa thrown in,
is today the most fascinating town in
the world, writes Milton Bronna from
Constantinople, Turkey.
It's streets present veritable con-
gross of nations.
Take forty choruses from comic
operas and roll them into one, and you
would not have the color and the wide
and wild variety of costumes that five
minutes present in the narrow streets
of either the Pera, the Galata, or the
Stamboul section OF the city.
Constantinople was always bewild-
erinS, but never more so than at pres
ent. now the Turks are not even mas
tcrs in their own house.
Nearly all of Turkey in Europe is in
the hands Of the Greeks. The same
race has taken large slice of Turkey
in Asia.
The Turks who are fighting the
Greek in the wilds Of Anatolla have
their own government and do not rec
ogniZe the Turks of Constantinople,
although this is the historic capital OF
the nation.
And the Turks OF Constantinopl",
while they police this city and a little
territory to the west of it, and while
they examine the imports for customs
duties, know that the foreigner is boss.
The English, French and Italian arm
les are here and those in command
also command the city.
Moreover, ships of the three allied
nations are in the harbor TO enforce
their orders. if necessary.
These armies and navies OF occupa :
ton but add to the color OF the streets.
Take look At the crowd with me.
Everywhere you sec red fez caps.
Most of these are worn by Turks, bIi
not necessarily so. The Greeks and
other Levantinc races whose members
were born here also often wear the
fez.
Those women coming along, in black
and with thin black wells over their
faces, are not in mourning. They are
Mohammedan ladies of the old school
who still believe in keeping their
countCnanccs covered from the light
OF day.
But now you will see the new and
young and emancipated Turkey. They
are three pretty Turkish girls wi
dark hair lustrous eyes, brilliant tee,h,
and pale olive skins. One is dressed
in gray silk, another in purple and
still another in navy blue. They wear
10 wells on their faces. Instead, they
have the veil fixed so that 1t is a
pretty frame for their charms.
Now let's walk away from here and
go into the narrow, twisting, crowded
noisy. smelly streets of old Stamboul
where the Turk carries on business.
There are not SO many Europeans
herc-only few British and French
military police and some dark skinned
IIindus to control their own cOntin-
gents of soldiers.
Over here you are in the land of the
Arabian Nights. The very scenes de-
scribed in that immortal book are still
being enacted

FIGHTING RATS
Continued From Page One.)

was assigned to this important case.
He found that it was an appa ling eX-
ample of the variety and versatility OF
the mouse and rat family. For one
kind of rat and three kinds of mice
were at work in this valuable orchard.
The mice were short mice, pine
mice and meadow mice. Some of them
worked underground and some on the
surface. Some Of them worked at night
and some during the day.
Poison did not Ct first tempt these
animals because they enjoyed :he ten
der roots of the fruit trees more than
any bait which was offered, end also
because the rain and dew washed the
poison off the bait. Professor Silver,
none the less, ultimately succeeded in
poisoning a good many Of them by
placing the most tempting bats in
glass cases which the mice could enter,
but which protected the bait from the
weather. He also caught many of the
animals by the use of small steel traps.
The third measure employed was that
CT warning all of the surrounding far
mers not to kill hawks or owls, as
these birds are the greatest natural en-
emies Of all kinds CT mice and rats.
AS a result of all these measures the
mouse and rat population of the eXper-
mental farm has been greatly reduced,
and it seems certain that the animals
will not succeed in thwarting some
lines of government work there, as
they seemed about to do. The work Is
perhaps most important as a demon
stration of what can be done. Doubt
less many farmer has despaired of
his orchard because Of the rodents. He
should take heart. BY persistence and
the use Of right methods, rats and mice
can be exterminatcd everywhere, from
the city cellar to the farthcst outlying
farm.

Essay On Air.-The modern ideas
on education are all very we'll so far
as they go, but there is an old and
well-cried proverb which says that a
little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Perhaps that is why Johnny Jones
essay or air ran like this:
Breath is made of air. We breathe
always with our lungs, except a
night, when our breath keeps life 60
ing through our noses while we arr
asleep. If it wasn't for our breath
we should die whenever we slept.
Boys that stay in room all day
should not breathe. They should wait
until they get outdoors. a lot of boys
staying in a room make carbonicide
and carbonicide is more poisonous
than mad dogs, though not just in the
same way. 1t does not bite, but that's
no matter so long as it kills YOU"

Gold Mining Will Become
 Reality in This Section
Company With Capital Stock of S16O O0O.OO Will Start Work on Sanders Farm Big Scale in Near Flu
 ture and Expect Big Paying Proposition

came here to find a strip of ground probably 25 feet square where this mineral could be found, but that the outlook was the best he had ever seen. Every geologist that we have talked to is like every driller of an oil we'll we have ever read about. Every driller has brought in a bunch of wells in every field. Every geologist has been in every mineral field in the world. But at that, we are not say ing that any men of either of these vacations are not telling the truth.
 The outstanding man in this field, in our opinion, is w. T. Barr. Mr. Barr is a fellow who works, and does not talk much. If he should lose out in this deal he has made an honest effort with the pick and shovel and worked be- cause he had confidence.
 Our knowledge of gold is very limited and we do not know for certain that we could identify any of the min eral were the American eagle and '1n God We Trust" stamped on one side, so our opinion as to the real mineral being in the ground and the knowledge of how to find it would not be worth very much. MT. Sanders and Mr. Barr who have been doing the prospecting work, were not at home on our visit to the mine, and we went out to pass on it without any of the company members to express our opin- ion to. We found a deep shaft, extending about forty or fifty feet from the bed of a little branch, and it looks as if it took lots of hope and pep to dig this hole. Much of the findings taken from this has been put through the fire near the shaft and sever al small pieces of mineral were found on the ground.
 Lady is Hopeful
 After visiting the mine and coming back to the Sanders residence, Mrs. Fred Walker, a neice of Mr. Sanders, kind ly agreed to explain lots of things we don't know about minerals, and gold and plati- mum in particular. Mrs. Walker says she has heard it talked about and seen it work ed with so much, and has seen every new prospector and their reports on the field until she believes there can- not possibly be any doubt as to the richness, of the find. Yet, strange to say, we know a lot of people who are not interested either way, who are knocking this thing with all their might. A trip to the Sanders farm and a talk with Mrs. Walker might change their opinion.
 Mrs. Walker has two bright, cheery little daughters, Cleta and Christabelle, who also took great delight in helping their mother explain the diff erent formations of earth

Sanders farm and vicinity.
 Company is Organized
 w. T. Barr and John Puck ett returned from Little Rock Tuesday night where they completed the organization of a company to be known as the Independence Mineral Company. The incorporators are w. T. Barr and John T. Puckett of Batesville, Jno. P. Streepey, J. E. Watson and Clay Stewart of Little Rock and Roy M. Watson of Chica. go. The company is incor- porated under the laws of Arkansas and is capitalized at $160,000.00.
 Begin Work Soon
 With the completion of the organization, plans are now being made to put machinery on the ground as soon as pos sible and actual work of dig ging is expected to commence about the 10th of August. Work of building sheds and other preliminaries at the mine will probably be started earlier.
 The company plans to work on big scale according to information given out by parties who are interested in the project. The company has quite an acreage in the vicinity of the Sanders farm, and where they have leases on two forty acre tracts ad- joining each other a small re- ducing plant will be located, and it is expected that eight of these small plants will be bought and placed in opera tion.
 A large finishing plant will be located near the main cut of the company on the San ders farm, within sight of the Sanders residence, and all the mineral from each of the small plants will be worked here again and prepared for shipment.
 A Visit to the Mine
 A Journal representative went out to the Sanders farm Friday to inspect the work that had been done. We de- cided Friday was a good day for the mine, we also decided that today is a good day for the mine, or that any day and every day will be good days for a gold mine, if the hopes of these geologists who have been working in this field pan out. Some of the geologists who have looked over this field state that they have never seen a field as rich in their life. One fellow said that he expected before he
