would not watch her creep in,
A prodigal, homeward returning
With wind flowers palldly burning
Like tapers assoiling her sin;
Not with the soft-hearted breeze
And the showers compassionate
chorus
Would | watch her crouch, weep
ing, before us
And raise her from pentcnt knees.
Let those who aoish, harh to the sob
bing refrain
Of the wiutcr's deception, the desc
late pnlN
And giuc hc'' their hearts for be-
t,ayal again.
But on the bleak hills of the North,
Where drifts strike their tents and
surrender,
would watch for the maid in
her splendor.
j would see her triumphant ride
forth,
shall know that the winter has
flown
By the shouts of the freed water
courses.
shall hear the swift trample Of
horses,
| shall see her ride back to her own.
In the clattey of steel sheW return
from the fyon
With the uiSor aloft on her helmet
Of gray
And O. strand Of her golden hair
blowing Gstroy.

being an American citizen is the knowl-
edge that you'll never be called upon
to act as premier of the Irish Free
State. But on the other hand, no sub

KNAPP IN APPEAL
 FOR ACREAGE CUT

Little Rock, March l.-Dean Brad ford Knapp of the college of agricul- ture of Fayetteville has issued cir cular on Safe Farming for 1922"
 Those who have been reading the signs of the times appreciate the danger of a larger cotton crop, ac- companied by boil weevil and decreas- ed food and feed crop. Dean Knapp says:
 "A campaign of education should be conducted by all farmers organiza- tions, by the extension service, and by banks and business men of the entire state, to warn farmers and business cotton in 1922 and to encourage them cotton in 1922 an dto encourage them to follow safe farming program by the production of home supplies and of food and feed. We urge that if every farmer in Arkansas would pledge himself and actually produce all the corn, hay and forage, feed and food necessary for the people on the farm, and for all live stock, this in itself would decrease the acreage 1 devoted to cotton below that of 1921 .'

HART NEWEST STAR IN BULLDOG RANKS

Pine Bluff, March 1.-Pine Bluff ' NJ. C. A. basket ball team played a far superior brand of ball last night and defeated Hendrix College, 28 to 23. The game started in the same way as the first game. Hendrix scored first and went four points ahead before the "Y'' was able to get a good shot at the basket. The col lege team forged ahead until it was leading to ?. Then then local team began to count until it tied the score at 12 to 12 After that the Bulldogs made only one free throw while the "Y scored nine points before the half ended.
 Between halves Coach Dale Jones must have put the old pep in the Methodist boys, for they came back with such fight that they completely swept the "Y" team off it's feet. Near the close of the half the "Y" players found themselves and pulled out of danger.
 The game was exceedingly rough, both sides being fouled often. Tuck Hart, Pine Bluff boy, was the star on the college team. He scored IT points. His floor work also featured. Alexander's accuracy on free throws was the feature of the "G' teams
