For every man with limitless energy
The astounding demands upon american
industry OPEN unparalleled opportunities

of the source of one of the worst of all
wastes-the constant jarring and jolting
Of the delicate nervous system with every
step on hard leather heels.
The average person takes 5000 steps
a day suffers 5000 such shocks, every
one hammer blow to the nervous sys-
tenn. Here is one of the great causes Of
fatigue in modern life.
Remoue this cause of fatigue!
You can avoid this useless waste Of
energy. O'Sullivan's Heels absorb the
shocks that tire you out.
To secure the resiliency, the sprinei-
ness, of O'Sullivan's Heels, the highest
grades of rubber are blended by a special
formula. With this blend of live, spriny
rubber are ''compounded" the best tough
ening agents known. The compound is
then "cured'' or baked under high pres
sure.
This is why O'Sullivan's Heels absorb
the jolts and jars of walking. The same
process that makes O'Sullivan's Heels
resilient gives them their great durability.
O'Sullivan's Heels will outlast three pairs
of leather heels-ti1ey often outlast two
pairs of ordinary rubber heels.
Stop pounding away your energy. Go
to your shoe repairer today and have
O'Sullivan's Heels put on your shoes.
Insist on GETTING O'SullWan's!
NOTE-A wise economy these days is to have

Fatigne-he greatest enemy to
your success today
Whatever you're doing-in office
or shop, in business life or indus
trial life its the same story: you
must have energy to stand the
strain!
Yet the conditions of modern
city life are making it harder and
harder for us to preserve this vital
force. Shut in on every side by
walls of stone and steel, subject to
incessant nervous strain, forced to
work at an ever-quickening pace,
millions of Americans today are
suffering from overfatigue. Every
morning they are tired before they
start-evcry night they go home
exhausted. Disease stands ready
to fasten on their depleted organ
iszns. Day by day fatigue slows
down their pace. Their energy is
gone e->success for them is
impossible.
A certain amount of fatigue is inevi-

energy needlessly. Many are unconscious

toes, cotton and live stock for the past year made profit of practically $40, 100000. M
 Of the club girls engaged in gar dening, 2,546 have raised gardens of one-tenth acre in area. Other girls raising gardens exclusive of those with the one-tenth acre plots, planted BPS acres to vegetables, making a to- tai of LIPS acres put to gardens during the past year by club girls of the state.
 The number of club members en- gagged in raising corn was 2,097. This number raised. a total of 45,92S bush els of corn with an average yield per acre for Arkansas. The, value of this corn raised by club members was more than SAT 7,500.00. The total num- Der of pounds of pork raised by club members during the year is S89,063
 Club work for the entire state is under the direction of w. J. Jernigan state club leader, but in each county where the clubs are organized the work is supervised by the county farm and home demonstration agents These agents working with the Fix tension Division of the University lend assistance to the club members and advise them on the proper meth ods of culture.
 The work with boys and girls, how ever, is only one phase of the Exten- sion Service. The county agents work with the farmers and farm women also, helping them to solve their problems. Besides the county agents, there is a corps of specialists in the different phases of farming who assist the county agents in help ing the farmer to market his prod ucts, aiding him in selecting breed ing stock for his livestock herds, and helping to form organizations so the entire county or community may come together and unite their efforts for mutual benefit.

ministrations in an exceptional dis play of zeal fastened the civil servica on the Government. Basically the idea was right, and theoretically it registered hundred percent. As a practical proposition it demonstrates itself most capable of perpetuating evils it creates than it does in cor- recting it's own imperfections. Doubt less the making over the Govern ment" will register a large number of instances of turning the rascals out" But their places will be taken by new favorites, and in the end Un- cle Sam will more likely be found putting up another million dollars a day, instead of saving it as result of the well-intentioned Reavis- Shoot plan. In the Taft regime a presiden- tial commission on economy and eff ciency attempted this anne kind of task, and they collected an immense amount of fine material. By the timo it was ready for use Congress went off in a chase of some other kind of a bug, and the scrape-heaps got the melancholy results. Pardon the pes simism, but twas ever thus!

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

The total number of boys and girls enrolled in agricultural and home eco- monies clubs in Arkansas for the year 1920 is 26,664, according to data just compiled and turned to M. T. Payne, Director of the Agricultural Extension Division. University of Ar kansas, by w. J. Jenigan, state boys and girls club l eader.
 During the past year boys clubs have been organized in 50 counties of the state. Girls clubs under the supervision of Miss Connie J. Bon- slagel, state home demonstration agent have been formed in 43 coun- ties of the state. Activities of the boys and girls clubs are composed of work in raising gardens, the can hing of fruits and vegetables, and the raising of poultry, pigs, calves, sheep corn, cotton, peanuts and potatoes.
 The total value of products raised by the club members for the past year is over S363, 100000. Profits have been figured for 6,710 boy club mem bers engaged in raising corn, peanuts potatoes, cotton and live stock, and it has been found tha this number has cleared $76,919.00 above the cost of raising their products. As these fig lures are for but little more than half of those engaged in these five activi- ties, MT.

Making Over The Government

There is no end of foolish talk to the effect that the new administration will change most everything in the
 Gover9ment. As a start the Reavls- Shoot resolution which got through in the Senate last session has gone through the House and up .o the President. This, the papers say. "re- organizes the entire federal govern ment and will save Sl 100000 day. Which is. all fine piffle, What the res oiution actually performs is to pro- vide joint committee of the Senate and House "to make a thorough in- vestigation of the government estab- lishments as now operated and to re- port recommendations for eo-ordina- tion to Congress-" This is fine stuff 1t has b cen fine stuff pretty nearly ever since George Washington was president, which is the period mark Ing the beginning of attempts at greater efficiency in government. We have had lot of talk about the bud get system. and it has supplied great hope for better things. But people seem to forget that the country is growing and that as itAgrows the Gov ernment must enlarge. In that pro- cess reforms in methods are always in order; and new administration is always fine time to "start some thing" Years ago one of these ad-

 Railroad Earnings Below Expectation
 A tabulation from figures reported by the railroads to the Interstate Commerce Commission show that the net railway operating income for De- tober of Class One carriers totaled $91, ,76l ,090, which is more than twen- ty million dollars, or over eighteen per cent below the amount expected to be earned under the increased rates fixed by the Commission in accord ance with the Transportation Act. On the basis of the net operating income for October, the railroads of the coun- try would earn annually four and nine -tenths percent of the value of their properties as tentatively fixed for rate making purposes at S18,900,- 100000, by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This is an increase of threefourths of one per cent over that for September as computed from the net operating income for that month.
 Complications show that the net operating income in every district fell below the six percent basis, the Eastern district being 29.7 percent below, the Southern district 16 per cent below, and the Western district 9.2 per cent.
 Reports show that the net operat- ing income of 203 carriers for Octo- Der were S1.61 percent of the amount expected to be earned by them under the rates fixed by the Commission, while the net income for botlN Sep tember and October was 75.3. per- cent of the amount anticipated for both of those months.

Fiction In Civic Improvement

Professional civic improvement propaganda apparently thriyes on telling the public that industrial en- terprises that seek to use our natural resources are greedy" and the pre- Judices against the bogeyman of childhood days are restored in the minds of rown-ups until we are gullible enough to believe the kind of stuff that was popularized with ref erence' to Niagara, to the effect that for every tub of water used for in- dustrlal purposes that the scenic won- ders were "despoiled," because the water wheels were reported to have drunk up the Niagara River, instead of having broken into "veiled spray. ,, as 1t was borrowed for a few mo- ments to produce power for industry Today the great power houses are among the spots admired by the visit ors to the great Niagara. It is like ly that there would have been none of them if the professionals in "civ- lc improvements" had been permitted their undisputed say in matters.
 The fiaring declarations being mailed Tn profusion to all parts of the country saying that "theNational Parks are in Imminent Peril" are about as true as it would be to de- clare that beautiful horse would cease to be pleasant to look at if placed in a harness, or a beautiful city street despoiled of it's civic mag nlflcence if bordered by handsome and useful habitations past whose doors automobiles and trucks piled. in carrying on the affairs of a practi- cal world.
 Of course no one wants the Nation al Parks to lose one whit of their natural magnifcence; but the senti- mental tommies who were responsi- bic for tieing up the waterpower re- sources of the United States for half a century had preferably better drown clinging to their last straw than be tolerated in their efforts to spread national parks out over wide desolate spaces where they will serve no useful purpose, or even afford in- terestlng scenery to look at. It would be just as reasonable to ex- pect the Pennsylvania and West Viz glnia coal fields to be set apart for national parks, since coal and water power bear an identical relation to

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E. Jones
The Two Angels

A poem written in 1855, has been brought to light, and used in illus trating the controversies relating to the development of certain water powers in the National Forests. Ow- ing to it's singular beauty it is here given:
 "At every waterfall two angels stay, One clothed in rainbows, the other
 yelled in spray.
 The first the beauty of the scene re-
 veals,
 Then last revolves the mighty water
 wheels,
 And there those white-robed sisters
 ever stand,
 Utility and beauty, hand in hand"
 Civic associations do well to court the angel of the rsinbows, but beauty that plays the dog in the manager to prevent utility from performing the useful work she has to do, is certain ly a selfish maiden.
 Recent maps of the Yellowstone and other principal national parks nowadays are accompanied with per spective diagrams showing how it is proposed to enlarge them, and the schemes are so magnificent in some cases that one wonders why the civic organizations do not claim a few States and be done with it. They pro- pose to tie up vast areas in park en- closures to an extent that will de- prive the surrounding country of all benefits of their water powers In California, the state is dependent up- on the water-powers. of the mountains for electric power, and the enlarge ment of national parks according to schemes that have been brought out, would seriously handicap existing industrial relations. Then in Idaho land capable of bringing forth annu- ally S10,000,000 worth of food and giving means of livihood for 10000 people is to be bottled up in the Southeastern portion of Yellowstone Park, instead of permitting the use of 5000 acres of unsightly mosquito ridden swamp to be transposed into beautiful lake, to serve as the res ervoir and power-creator for a great and fertile region that it would serve.
 One hundred and thirty applica- tions for water-power development have been received by the Federal Power Commission. These projects call for an industrial development ex- ceeding billion dollars, and the de- velopment of nearly a billion horse power. It means employment for hundreds of thousands of men in the next few years, at period when un- employment may be too general. It means that the eternal struggle for coal will cease, because water-power and the electric energy it will supply will supplant in thousands of cases the roaring fires that consume the inexhaustible coal resources of the country.

SECOND POTTER RECITAL
RENDERED WITH SKILL
Pianist and Soprano Delight
Auditorium RatronS.

The second of the Potter recitals
was given at Masonic Auditorium last
evening with Louis Potter, pianist,
and Ruby Potter. soprano, in a joint
recital. Mr.. Potter playS with de-
lightfully clean-cut style, with ad-
mirable Difference to the truth of the
composers message and a pure and
very lovely tone. His interpretations
are sane, balanced, with due regard
for type, essentially musical though
not temperamental.
Two sonatas, the Beethoven G minor
and the Scarlatti in G minor, showed
full-toned execution and good
rhythm, the Beethoven adagio having
grace and charm that brought out
the purity of this music, yet held also
it's breadth of form. The greatest
breadth of the program was in the
lovely Franck prelude, Fugue and
Variations" arranged by Harold Bauer
and given here for the first time. The
theme of the prelude was given with
real song quality. while the fugue, a
free one, held variety of color, and
the tone work in the development of
the variations had a balanced har-
mony and excellence in command of
form.
Chopin group. two MacDowell
numbers and the MosZkowski Il major
Waltz were more panistic that i'm
aginative, the depth of the MacDowell
chords beings missed. The recital was
refreshinEly musical, sane and whole
some. though it did not touch the
emotions.
Mrs. Potter. lyric soprano was at
her best in the care Selve" of Handel
and the graceful Pastoral of Yer
acini Her voice is appealingly sweet,
pure and Free. IL is also essentially
light in timbre, more suited to Mozart
than to Hugo Wolf and Richard
Strauss, two of whose songs she gave
but they were too broad for the quail
ity of her voice.
1t is like shoemaker sticking to
his last. SO free and light voice
that Is possessed OF so much sweet
ness, has a literature of its own. 1t
cannot scale the heights of the
Rims, ky X orsakoff Hymn to the

and cello, for though 1t was under
stood muscally by this little artist
IL requires a bigger outpouring.
Musically, IL is gratifying to hear
the best Of music over and over again.
IT'S educational value is inestimable.
Mrs. Potter sang with MacFayden
"Cradle Song" with much beauty, but
her Handel was so. pure and lovely
that II overshadowcd her other songs
and made one want more of the same
type.
Gertrude MacRae. at the piano,
was notably artistic In her accom-
paniments. Her interpretations were
rarely sympathetic yet individual.
and her tone values delightful. She
possesses that rare thing, the gift
for accompanying. Liza Lehmann's
