BONEHEAD PLAY OF N0AH'S
Asleep at the Switch When He Had
Opportunity to Benefit the
Human Race.

Boneheads have been pulled since
the dawn Of light. The idea that any
particular age sees them running wild
Is mistake. The first famous bone
head that history records was pulled
by no less a parsonage than old Noah.
Noah simply couldn't see things
right; he had no vision and, therefore,
missed the "Golden Chance" He had
40 long nights In which to get up and
put the two mosquitoes in the world
out Of business. He could have done II
with one smash Of his fly swatter. But
Noah snored away at the switch and
In time the dove appeared with the
olive branch and the next day the peo-
pie walked off the ark onto land-and
the mosquitoes went with them.
There are many other famous bone
heads that might be here recorded, but
none Of them equals old Noah's as a
work Of art, so the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose has decided
unanimously to place his name in the
hall Of fame.-Bert Walker in the
Topeka Capital.

FARM SPECIALIST HERE

Prof. A. D. McNair, Farm Manage ment Specialist, for the University of Arkansas, spent Monday in this coun- ty in conference with county agent A. F. Scheid, and visiting the farmers in the various parts of the county who are keeping farm accounts on books prepared and furnished by him. Under the present plan the books are distri- buted and the bookkeeping supervised and accounts collected monthly by the county agent.
 MT. McNair was very much pleased with the manner in which most of these books are being kept, which he says is above the average for other counties in the state.
 The books are especially prepared and designed to meet the demands of the busy farmer. It furnishes him prepared forms for putting down daily expenses and incomes that in any way affect the farming operations for the year. At the end of the year con- plete statement of the years business is prepared. This should be the means for any farmer to find the leak or errors in farm management, and should serve as a valuable guide for the following years.
