SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Psychic Defense.
Everybody has, they say,
A little complex Of his own,
Which helps to pass the time away,
And calls on others to condone.
Everybody claims the right
In an emergency to show
That he has traces large or slight
OF impulse or Of libido.
Everybody i'll at ease
When it's time a case to try
Finds some little things like these
Better than an alibi.

"Betty's mother was one Of the bill
lions who become mothers because
they cannot help themselves. She
bore children for the same reason
that weeds bear flowers, and weasels
multiply, and jungles are populous
with little savages. She was the
helpless victim of the self she drew
have never touched" And right along
here-'1t is not usual or respectable
to write the truth about mother
hood; therefore, the women who
triumph in this most difficult of ca
reers are robbed of their rightful
praise by an idiotic habit of pretend
ing that all mothers are divine and
all homes temples OF virtue, and that
the world would easily be saved If
children would only obey their
mothers and stay at home. 1t makes
no difference that history is packed
with proof that really good mothers
are as rare as really profitable homes;
and that the beginning of most sue
cessful (and unsuccessfuD lives has
been the departure from home"
Betty's mother was a wrong one
with not a single handsome thing
mentioned of her in her whole life.
And so, since perfect scores are i'm
possible In this world, one is tempted
to wonder If malice or oblivion were
not her biographer instead Of the
perfect all-mercifui truth.

Having i'm a very unintelligent way
tried to impress on the minds of your
many readers the Importance of county
and state fairs in order that our pro-
gressive people (and all should be
prOgressive) can see what others are
doing and what we can do if we will
only exchange ideas ON different
phases of agriculture, horticulture,
stock raising, dairying, poultry, wO-
mems work and various other indus
tries that go to make up the history
of an agricultural community which
we should and must do if we do our
part in the race of life and for the
betterment of humanity. In this fast
age of life we cannot live to ourselves
but must work in harmony and all
strive to excel in harmony and
unison in order to acquire the great
est degree of success which. is not only
our privilege but our duty as good
citizens.

of Arkansas which has well been de-
nominated the wonder state Of Ameri-

any better sense than to think that
Arkansas is the best place for the com
mon people of any of the other AZ
states of the Union. 1t may be that as

an undisputed fact that Arkansas is
blessed with the greatest undeveloped
resources of any state in the Union
and only waiting the investment or
capital to develop and astOnish the
world. Our water power awaiting
development the greatest. If it were
developed as il can be ii would furnish
power for the running of half the
United States. And Arkansas has the
greatest mileage of navigable rivers
in the L. s. The climate is IDEAL, not
too far north nor too far south, so that
we can produce all kinds Of products
except the tropical and semi-trOpical
that can only be produced in the ex-
treme south. And as to fruits, berries,
vegetables of almost all kinds we can
not be excelled with the proper culti-
vation and attention and that must be

Our annual rainfall is between 40
and 80 inches, sufficient to assure
reasonable crops any year and bumper
crops quite often. All the grains and
cereals grow here exceptionally well,
