Urges School of Tropical
 Agriculture for South

New Orleans, May 2S Pl-Roy Tasco Davis, American minister to Costa Rica. stopped in New Orleans long enough on his way to visit his Columbia, Mo, home to say that school of tropical agriculture should be established in the south.
 "The future of the Caribbean countries lies in agriculture" said Mir. Davis. There are hundreds of thousands of acres Of undeveloped lands there as rich as the Garden of Eden, but there are no schools to teach scientific culture of the soil. Numbers of Costa Ricans have asked for information about col leges of agriculture to which they could send their sons for learning

The Missouri Pacific operates number of high class trains from St. Louis carrying tourists via the Southern route to California. One mail train makes an average speed through the state of forty miles an hour or better. One passenger train running from St. Louis to Fl Paso reaches the Arkansas Texas border twelve hours and thirty-fiye minutes after leaving St. Louis 493 miles away. The fast western trains of the Rock Island make about the same time.
 Railroad officials think it is time that the old slow train idea was laid away and that the news agency aided them by barring the joke book from the trains.

NOTED SLOW TRAIN
 IN ARKANSAS GONE
This State Now Has Usual Fast
 Expresses

Little Rock, Ark, May 2S Npl- The historic Slow Train through Arkansas" passed from the picture many years ago and the promotion departments of state railroads in tend to keep it so.
 The coming of heavier steel and well-built road beds brought the same transportation advance here as elsewhere and railroad officials say trains are no longer slower in Ark ansas than in other states.
 It was this and the fact that the promotion departments of the roads are endeayoring 10 show the world that Arkansas is not behind the times, that led to the dropping from the stocks of news butchers" on at least one railroad of the old joke book bearing the slow train title.
 There was a time when the slow train through Arkansas was a fact In those days the equipment was light and often of the cast-off variety. Rails were light and road beds were poorly made But today it is different, The Missouri Pacific runs some of the fastest trains on the main line from St. Louis to Tex arkaua and thence via the Texas and Pacific 10 Fl Paso The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific runs some fast trains over its lines in the state, while the Cotton Belt and the St. Louis and San Francisco also have several SDppdy trojpr
 The Missouri Pacific and Rock Island run trains between Little Rock and Memphis, a distance varying from 1@5 10 150 miles, in three hours and twenty minutes. The Rock Island takes less than six hours for ono of it's fast trains from Hot Springs to Memphis, distance of 195 miles, partly through mount ains.

young man staggered into 4 New York police
station the other night and bltcd out that he had
taken poison. At the hospital it was found that
ne spoke the truth and that it was too late to d,
anything about it. So they started to examine a
sheaf of notes he held crumpled in che hand
The young man was poct-a poet of more in
spiration than ability, apparently. He had failed to
make the grade. One Of his notes said that he had
been left out in the cold in golden world that was
made for chosen few Another note confessed
Il an, in every true sense Of the word failure"
Probably there is no grown person in the ccun-
try who has not, at some time another, let his
mind rest for instant two on the idea of sui
eide For all CT us, at times have the feeling that
we are left out in the cod and death seems such
sure, easy solution for our troubles
But most of us don't take it, Instead we find
some way to push down the Encouragement and un-
happiness, tighten lips and decide to keep
on living for while.
For we ncurable optimsts Even the young
poet in New York was, in a way. Fer the world
that was cruel to him he knew that it was really
4 golden world" though he felt that it could
be only tn very few. And we are like him
Beaten, crushed disappointed, nevertheless feel
that life is, after all meant to be sweet and joyous
and down IN the bottoms of our hearts hope
blndly, that somehow can win through 70 a
plete realization Of all that it be.
Sometimes this deeply buried hope fools US, lead
ing through intermnabe weller of con-
fused aspirations and frustrated ambitions, and
never letting us reach than a glimpse Of the
dazzle of this golden world
But always it leads us. And this is very for
tunate. For all of the progress of the world can
be traced to this blind, unconquerabc hope.
Perhaps the cave men had some notion of golden
world where wild beasts would not always be 4
menace and famine would not kill whole tribes
every lean year Probably the early Mediterranean
explorers pushed their frail cockle-shels around
the corners Of dark Europe in the hope that some
sort Of golden world might spring into being in new
lands that not cast in the groove of the old
Surely this hope lighted the eyes eff the hosts
of men who have given their lives for liberty AMI
freedom. The pioneers have always known it, ami
martyrs without number
To be sure, not all of reach full en- Joy
ment Of this golden world for it does sometimes
seem to be reserved fer the chosen few. But,
though may not realize it, struggles for it,
inssten hope that it does truly exist, bring
ing nearer and nearer the time when everyone on
earth can enjoy it.
And in that day disappointed poets won't
think of suicide.

Editorial Comment
NestOS Announces.
(LaMoure County Chronicle)

(LaMOure County ChrOnlcle)
straightforward, courageous, uncompromising: -
such are the characteristics of the announcement
by former Gov. r. A. Nestos Of Minot of his can
ddacy for the office Of United States senator 1t
is printed in another column and is we'll worth
reading.
Mr.. Nestos makes it clear at the outset that under
no conceivable circumstances would he again be-
come candidate for governor, while at the same
time he states that he is "vitally interested that
there should be elected for governor and all other
state Offices men who are uncompromsing oppo-
nents Of radcalism, who favor curtailment rather
who will work necessarily and intelligently to re-
duce public expenditures and appropriations.
With delightful candar Mr. Nestos says that "the
wish to become United States senator is an ambi-
ton which man may properly have and frankly
admit He does not pretend that he would have
to be dragged-kc Cincnnatus from the plow-
to that post Of honor, but simply avows that 81
lieve that my training, associations, understanding
CT national and northwestern problems, and my in
hcrent sympathcs are such that should be able to
represent my state ittingy and with at least ordi-
nary efficiency"
Who would cavil over this declaration? Who
will question the fitness CT r. A. Nestos for the
office to which he aspires? Who doubts that his
training, his grasp Of national and local prcb-
lens and his inherent sympathies combine to make
him an ideal candidate for the office of United
States senator?

In Alaska, news dispatches say, wolves are to be
fought from the air.
Great packs CT ravenous wolves are roaming the
snow covered wastes, killing the government pro-
tected herds Of reindeer ard caribou on which the
inhabitants of Alaska depend so largely for food.
The wolves creating serious situation.
SO aviators will fly the open country carry
ing bombs filled with shrapnel. These bombs will
go down on the wolf packs - and the caribou and
reindeer will be safe.
A fine idea. Only think of the fate Of the
wolves Probably so per cent Of them won't be killed
by the bombs. They'll just be crippled and left to
starvc in agony en- the arctic wastes.
It's rather cruel way to do it.

Wants Rejoicing at Funeral

Cincinnati man, dying, left orders that $l0G
Of his estate should be spent to furnish music for
his funeral and provide luncheon for the singers
and for his friends.
Nothing unusual in that. the face of it. Sol
cmn feasts and wailing drges have characterized
elaborate funerals ever since the days of Homer.
But this Cincinnati reversed the usual idea
Instead CT an occasion of mourning he wanted the
luncheon to be time of mirth and smiles; and he
asked that the music sung at his funeral be of a
light, cheerful nature. The whole ceremony, he
thought, should be festival of rejoicing
That's news because it's unusual But did he
have the right idea?
To answer such question is to take all our
tions about life and death out of the musty closet
where we ordinarily keep them, and examine them
thoroughly.
1t is largely because our notions on those mat
tiers are so confused that the funeral is ordinarily
a time Of such unrestraned grief.
We know that IL is sweet to be alive. The fine
joys Of human friendships, the pleasures OF walk
ing in the streets and mingling with other and
women, the struggles and victories and defeats
that make up the daily routne-these things for
most Of us, are good, and when one Of US is called
to leave them all and go, do not know where,
we greve. For can see surely only that our
friend has had to give up life in exchange for some
thing that may be better--and may not.
And Sc, when man requests that there be no
sadness at his passing, but gaiety and gladness, we
are surprised.
Probably we will never be able to attain to a
stcadfastness Of faith sufficient to keep US from
mourning when loved ones die. The mere pang Of
parting, even If we are sure that those who have
died are happier than before, will always bring the
tears Yet we may hope that we can reach a calm
ness and gertrude that will enable us to say,
oochd ~

dear fairyman went to take a drink

he picked up his inkwell by mistake
and drank all the ink"
"That was tcrrible!" said Nancy.
Did he die? ?"
NO." said the Fairy Queen.
"Fairies don't die. But he turned
black all over at once, then green,
then purple, then blue. He's blue
now, and his hair is orange. Beside
that he is. in most peculiar condi-
zion. He. can't stop writing. He
just sits with a pen in his hand and
writes and writes and writes all the

If he had drunk red ink, any cherry
