Urpubla In China
The world's youngest republic
was formally estaolished April 8
when the joint session of China's
Parliament met at Pekingforinaug
ural ceremonies. Five hundred
out of 596 representatives and 1 77
senators out of a total of 274 re
sponded. all of them earnest looking
men of mature years dressed in
European fashisn with frock coats,
sat silently awaiting the hour of
opening.
When the clock struck 1 1 and
the bands played the natioal anthem
the assembly arose and an enthu
siastic scene followed. The brief
opening followed and then the Par
liament adjourned tomeet April 18.
China enters upon a re ublican
form of government with bright
prospects. Her people shook off
the shackles of despotism, arose
without bloodshed or oppression of
rulers and set the machinery of
'•epresentative government in mo
tion.
It is confidentally expected that
the United States will recognize the
Chinese republic and that friendship
and good-will between the two na
tions will fellow.
Will Improve Rural Schools.
The strategic point in carrying ou
i any work or plan looking to the im
l provement and betterment of th
, rural schools is the county superin
tendent. Efficient county super
j vision will to a very great degree
mean an efficient system of schools
for that county.
In summarizing the work of a
county superintendent an eminent
school authority in a recent address
said in part:
"The work of the State Superin
tendent must be done and his plans
executed largely through the.coun
ty superintendent. No local and
permanent plans for the improve
ment of public schools, townships i
meeting, etc. can be set on foot anu |
successfully carried out save un
der the leadership of an energeti'
county superintendent."
"All campaigns for the education ;
of public sentiment on educational
questions and for the advancement j
of the work of public education ,
along the all neeoful lines are doom- I
ed to failure or. at least to only par -,
tial or temporary success withou. j
the active help and direction of a
county superintendent konwing his
people, knowing the conditions and 1
needs of his county and enjoying
the confidence of teachers, officers i
children and patrons."
"No real county system, compos
ed of a large number of separate
schools unified and “correlsted in
their work, each pursuing a proper
ly arranged and wisely planned
course of study in the subjects re
quired. and the whoie system fitting
into its proper place in a great state
system, can ever be worked out
save through the aid and under the
direction of a county superin
tendent with an adquate conception
his^work and with an ability to do it."
In those counties of Arkansas
where county superintendency has
been adopted and where countv
superintendents are at work rural j
school conditions are being greatly
improved.
Every county in the state that
has not yetadopted county superin
tendency will vote on that import
ant qestion at the school election
this year. The prospects are that
many new counties will adopt this
plan of work for their schools at
this election.

Death darkened the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Chancellor 1 !2
miles southwest of town on Satur

when the soul of Aubra their be-,
loved son passed into the arms of

1901 and would have been 12

which caused his death was malarial j

suffered only eleven days. Tha'Ve
mains was laid to rest in Harper
Springs cemetery Sunday after- '
noon, at 5:30 o’clock the services
being conducted by Rev. W. T.

attendant in Sunday School and
a diligent student in the pjbiic
school and in his ioss the bereaved
parents-have the sympathy of all.

Every farmer has seen it provec
that rotation of crops Days; tha
live stock pa,ye; that leguminotr ,
fertilizers pays: that commercid ;
; fertilizers pay: and that scientific ,
care of the orchard pays; the
' cotton is not the only money cro
'that can be grown in Arkansas
j '.hat seed selection pays: that shal
| low cultivation and lots of it pays
and that a hundred other com
partive!y new ideas have commor ;
sense in them after all. The truti
of which, nearly every farmer o
anvone else, would have been s!ov
to admituntil shown.simply bec.au ■!
the great majority of ihese idea
sprang from, the experiment statior
work and demonstration work aiv I
were given to the farmer by the sr
called "book farmer."
The time has now come in A
kansas when good judgment de >
mands that we throw aside all ou
little prejudices and don the spin'
of hearty co-operation with all thos^
who are being paid to transmit a
little of thr truths learned by ex peri
ment and especially to agree when
we have so many concrete examples
of good practical scientific farming
in every community. Prejudice is j
the worst enemy to progress on the
farm. Wh *na truth is shown goon
judgment demands that we accept
it or abide with the results. The
"book farmer’ is the farmers best
friend.
In th'S office we have books on 1
nearly every harm subject, and the j
results of thousandsof experiments.!
the majority of which have been 1
proven to be sensiole by our own 1
farme-s in A-kunsas. There are
very few farmers '- ho are able to
buy text books or have time to keep
up w'tli the experiment work. We
are here for your sevices. and
we have the experiences of thou
sands of others in every phase of
farm life, which are yours for the;
asking. Let us hear from you.

The number of bales ginned in
Union county in 1910 was 5.730:
