Remember the good forget the evil
and much evil win disappear.
The cows on your farm should be
removed from pastures containing bit
ter weeds at least four hours before
milking.
One good thought deserves another.
BE sure you have good one--then
keep right on thinking.
Trees, like animals, are born, grow
to maturity, breathe, eat, sleep repro
duce and die. They are the anchor Of
civilization. Give them a chance.
There is an average of slightly more
than one mule and less than one horse
per farm in Arkansas. An increase
in the use Of horse and mule power is
necessary TO farm sufficient acreage
to give larger returns per man.
Leave the cotton thick in the row.
1t saves the cost Of thinning, produces
more early bolls and more cotton per
acre.

Ben Turpin's Grief.

The death of Ben Turpin's wife. told

sympathy of a great number of per-
sons. There was much that was
touching in the constancy and devo-
tion of Ben Turpin to his wife. He
LETT the screen several months ago
that he might nurse her. This was
widely known and the hope was gen.
eral that Mrs. Turpin would recover;
that Ben might come back to US and
let us look again on that grace of face
and form which had broken the hearts
of many lovely women. including the
Queen of Anchovia; wrecked many ru-
raj homes. and brought upon the hero
the horrid envy of his rivals in the
village. The Hollywood dispatch says:
"The motion picture comedian aban-
doned his work at the studios when
Carrie LemieuX Turpin became Sc
liously i'll last December and the call
Of the camera was unheeded month

Ben began to make us laugh in the
early Mack Sennett comedies with
Louise Fazenda, Billy Bevan and other
good people whose names do not at
the moment come to memory. Ben's
parts became more ambitious-more
lofty-and as Rodney ST. Clair, hero
OF numberless love dramas-heart af-
fairs, desperate and reckless-a host
OF people came to regard Ben as a
friend. He essayed high roles in
drama, and one recalls with pleasure
even with glee-when Ben, alias Rod
ney st. Clair, appeared in the town
hsH Of his native village as Romeo.
There were thoughts that Ben might
take on Othello with Louise Fazenda
as Desdamona and Billy Bevan as
Iago. and that finally he would arrive
as Hamlet with Louise as Ophelia and
Billy as the Ghost, the King, or some
thing. In Ben's comedy there has al
ways been that degree of intelligence
and that measure of good wit and
humor needed to make wise and dis
eliminating persons laugh. There are
million persons who would express
to this good comedian their sentiment
OF sorrow If they could.

Sportsmanship in Adversely.

! Considerable dissatisfaction has been
expressed over the distribution of
tickets for the world series games by
who claim that they have attended
games throughout the Summer are
! loudly lamenting the fact that they
were given tickets in the pavilion
when they asked for grandstand or
that they received only a polite rejec-
! ton slip from the club.
This situation Is as unfortunate as
it is inevitable. Practically every per-
son in Washington would like to see
the series. There are approximately
$4,000 seats in the park. With nearly
four applications for each seat it is
obvious that only one applicant will be
satisfied while the other three will
feel with varying degrees of intensity
that they have been Disseminated
against.
The club has announced that no
blocks Of tickets have been sold: that
tickets have not been furnished the
hotel neWs-StandS; that 1t will conduct
L steady campaign against scalpers and
that in so far as possible only two
tickets per person have been granted.
1t has also stated that applications
have been filed in the order they were
received.
on these assurances. and on the
logic Of the conclusion that the club
would under no circumstances de-
liberately ALLEVIATE its steady custom
ers. it should be fairly recognized that
the best that could be done has been
done. Mistakes have undoubtedly
been made in the rush and hustle and
confusion which surround issuance Of
tickets for a world series. There is
yet time and opportunity for the
remedying Of just complaints, and it
may be safely assumed that wherever
possible the club authorities will act
But to the tens Of thousands who,
proud OF the team and eager to cheer
it on TO the elimination OF its second
victorious season, and for whom there
is, physically, no room at the Clark
Griffith Stadium, the club can afford
no balm in Gilead. The best that can
be done for them in enabling them to
follow the series play by play through
scoreboard and radio announcement
will be done by The Star and others
Fairness, rising above natural disap-
pointment in the case Of those thou
sands. will prevail, and the cheers that
resound along Pennsylvania avenue
next week will bespeak loyalty TO a
team and club that have both done
their best in a hard JOB.
