CAUTION TO FRUIT GROWERS.

As a nurseryman, and as fruit grower who has made nearly every mistake planter can make, but with al success enough to remain in the business and also take state pre- nium occasionally. We would eau tion fruit planters to beware the ad- vice of people in other states telling them what and how to plant 1t. You may know how ridiculous it is when our university at State Plant Board advises altogether different varieties for different parts of our state a bull letin is issued, naming sorts best adapted to your part. Imagine some one 300 and 2,i00 miles away giving advice along this line. In the north part of our county, owing to altitude, varieties of fruit will flourish that wouldn't even live in the central part. Right on your own farm local condi- tions must be considered Some sorts won't co well on low. sour soils These same sorts might do all right there on other roots. For instance, plum on plum is all right on lower soils. Plum on peach we find better on higher, dryer soils. Cherries are particular here as to the roots they are budded on for the soil they are to be set in. We could go On indefinitely but this will show you the folly of advice from people who know nothing of our conditions. Ask the Plant Board for the best sorts in general for your part of the state, then ask some of your local growers what their best varie- ties are for here. Notice his orchard. Some of the trees are beautiful and symmetrical, others with scrapgy, crooked limbs bowed like umbrella ribs. Perhaps your eye will be caught by the beautiful upright tree. but take another look at the poorer shaped tree. It is the tree that 9 times out of 10 is pullel out of shape by heavy, continuous bearing. How is your sub-soil? We find well branched root best, where rocks are close A tap root on deep, we'll drained soils. In planting an or chard the hardest work should be done from the chin up.

A GREAT THING FOR MEN \

The announcement that Mena is tS have new and fully adequate high school building is about the best piece of news that has been recorded m years. It means that, one way or an other. Mena can and will provide for the education within her own borders of her young folks. And this is just the best attraction that any little city can offer to high class people.
 It seems wonderfully fitting thing, too. that the new school building should be located on such wonder fully attractive site at that chosen, Stilwell Park. This tract is not diffi- cut of access, is high and commands most splendid view of the city and the mountains, and will also display to best advantage to home folks and wis., itors the fielding it is proposed to con- struct.
 The material, native boulders so plentiful here, if well selected and properly handled. will add to the rug ged beauty and the stability of the building, at the same time saving a large amount of the cost that would result from the use of brick or other materials that had to stand the ex- orbitant freight rates of this day and time
 This is great enterprise for Mena, and, above all other things, should be handled with the eye to giving the people 100 cents in value for each dol- lar spent.
 The school board is to be congratu- Ia on its efforts, and given every encouragement and assistance possi- pie in the task that has been as- stunned.
 It's big thing for Mena.

Radish Season Is Here.

Radish Season Is Here.
 Two orders for radish seed have been sent off this week. It is now time to plant. A moderate freeze will not hurt the young plants. Have your ground we'll prepared and apply fertilizer broadcast, $50 pounds per acre on new ground and 500 pounds to GOO pounds per acre on old land, A mixed fertilizer of 8-4-4 formula is good or acid phosphate and cotton seed meal half and half for old land. For new ground mix two parts acid phosphate to one part cottonseed meal.
 One hundred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre should be applied broad cast, as top dressing, after the plants have four leaves. Deduct this 100 pounds from the total fertilizer to be applied to get the amount to be ap- piled before seeding.
 Remember all truck crops are risky. The radish is the best risk of any be- cause there is little at stake. The acre patch should be more popular.

DOGS IN HISTORY AND LEGEND

The dog is placed at the feet of women in sculpture to symbolize af- lection and fidelity.
 A dog at the feet of Crusader was symbolic of the fact that the Crusader followed the standard of the Lord as faithfully as the dog follows the foot steps of his master.

 Cerberus, according to Roman mythology, was the three headed dog guarding the entrance to the internal regions. Hercules dragged the mon- ster to earth, but released him.

CIVIL SERVICE BODY

Arkansas Senator Charges Commis. sioners Prostitute Office of
 Partisan Purposes.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Members of the civil service commission were at tackled in the Senate today by Sena- tor Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, who charged they were 'prostituting their office for partisan purposes.r
 "I'he commission is lending itself to the most outrageous abuses, said Senator Caraway, citing Arkansas cases in which he declared the com- mission had raised examination grades of politicians who were seek ing civil service jobs.
 The Arkansas senator asserted the commission had refused to permit any one to examine the papers in these cases and added:
 "They are lending themselves to positive fraud. Their conduct is shocking"
 Senator Caraway's objections suc- ceeded in holding up temporarily a proposition in an appropriation bill to increase the salaries of commits sioners from $5,000 to $6,00O

VALUES OF FOODS.

Many people advocate eating no
meat, many red meat only. many
, all meats but the red ones. All can
bring an imposing array of facts,
reasons for their choice. These
things. | think, are matter not
only of individual needs, but mo-
mentary needs. This year you may
flourish if you go without meat.
Next year your system may require
it. / can only suggest that you ex-
pertinent until you find out which
way of eating agrees with you best,
meantime needing certain funda-
mental laws of diet which we all
know to be true.
Since meat is very noruishing,
you must, unless you are reducing.
eat more eggs, butter, cream and
nuts, than you otherwise would. But
il something seems wrong with
your way of eating l would suggest
YOU eliminate q certain amount OF
starch before you do without meat,
and see how you feel then. Go
without cake, pastry, bread-or
rather, take a little toasted--and
take half the usual amount of po-
tatoes. Do without very starchy
buildings too. Too much starch
often causes Indigestion, heartburn.
headaches, constipation and several
other ills.
