THE FRIENDS OF THE FARMER.
The plan of the Saint Lduis
banker to assist the cotton farmers
of the South is a further indication
of the nation-wide interest which is
being manifested in the problems
of the man who follows the plow.
The movement is not intended
as a plan for purchasing cotton,
but is designed rather to make
available a fund of $150,000,000
to loan on cotton at not to exceed
six cents fer pound for the purpose
of making cotton a liquid asset,
i tabilizing its price and bringing
about normal conditions again.
It has been said that it takes
great calamities to develop our
friends and the present crisis is
proof positive that the farmer has
friends in every line of industry
who are willing to share his mis
fortunes and lighten his burdens.
Strong men are strong only as they
cooperate with other men, and the
rpirit of friendliness on the part of
the business man towards the far
mer augurs well for the future of
the agricultural interests of the
nation.
Tiff OUTLOOK BRIGNTFNS.
More rapidly than could have
been expected by anyone who
measured the magnitude of war in
fluence upon world trade, the situ
ation is being cleared up so far as
business conditions are concerned.
The nations at war as well as other
nations are coming into our mar
kets heavi'y for foodstuffs, manu
factured products are in demand,
the cotton siturtion is tending to
ward betterment, the banking in
terests are being put into shape,
the Reserve Banking system with
all its power for good is being mo
bilized, the first rude shock of war
to world finance is being overcome,
and we are preparing to go to work.
With faith in ourselves and faith in
our country's limitless potentiali
ties we can now plan to do busi
ness. The clouds are beginning to
break away.— Manufacturers Rec
ord.
HAS FAITH IN THE SOUTH.
The Royal Baking Powder Co.,
of New York, have instructed all
their representatives throughout
the South to join the buy-a-bale of
cotton movement and in a letter
have the following to say of our
country:
“While we shall lay out some
money on this campaign we shall
rot lose any. We know the South.
The predominating characteristic
of Southern people is loyalty, and
the principle of “you buy our goods
and we will buy yours" has had and
will have an excellent application
in this case.
“Whatever affects the South af
fects us. The appalling conditions
abroad, threatening disaster to so
many peoples, unites all sections
of our own country, and in the
strengthening of that union forti
fies our foundations and assures
our prosperity in the years to
come.” __
“Made in America” may be a
slogan that will stick. American
manufacturers may instill in the
hearts of our people a more patri
otic regard for those things which
can be made at home. A home
market for home products should
be the wish pf every loyal Ameri
can. Germany has been built up
into the greatest European nation
because her people have been in
fluenced to buy only those goods
which can be made at home. Let
Americans learn their lesson from
this war. _
“Let’s Make Our Land Feed
Beast and Man” is the slogan of
the Arkansas Profitable Farming
Campaign which is being pushed by
the various government, state and
railroad agricultural departments.
It is a shame that this campaign is
necessary, but it is, nevertheless,
and we earnestly hope that Union
county will wake up and get her
share of the excellent results that
are sure to follow from it.
There is no glory in war. Even
the general whose army makes a
particular brilliant charge or whose
artillery after a gruelling duel si
lences the forts of the opposition
even such a commanaer, we be
lieve, must sometimes awaken in
the night after a horrifying dream
of carnage and dealh. How can
any human being with a conscience
find glory in the wholesale murder
and maiming of innocent human
beings?
A great many people will not
complain seriously when they learn
that there is to be a cigarette pa
per famine. The white papers
have been shipped to us from
France and Austria. War, then,
seems to be a blessing in disguise.
IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFINE TIME
Measure of It to One Man Is by No
Meana the Same That It la
to Another.
Time Is something which cannot be
adequately defned. It la what scien
tists call a relative thing—something
dependent on other things. It Is, of
course, measured by events, or rather
the sequence of events.
Suppose, for instance, that It takes
a man one second to raise and lower
his hand. If there are other beings
that can perform the same action In
a hundredth of a second, that period
will be a second to them, for after all,
we measure time by the number of
physical actions we can perform. This
being the case, certain Insects that
live only a week have really lived
several years.
If we can Image human life on an
electron, that tiny particle of modern
physics, a thousand of which are found
In an atom of hydrogen, one second
of our time Is about twenty billion
years to them. On the other hand,
if we can Imagine that stellar sys
tems have life, one of their seconds
Is about twenty billion of our years.
A great many things depend upon
this Idea of time. One minister ex
plains the miracle of turning water
Into wine by saying It all means sim
ply that the time of growth of 'the
grape was shortened. The reason a
quick, active man accomplishes so
much more in the same time than a
slow one Is that he lives by a differ
ent system of time than the other.
OCCUPATION FOR THE WOMEN
Both Pleasure and Profit to Be Pound
In the tCeepfng of Bees, 8aya
One Who Knows.
Beekeeping means not only pleas
ure and profit, but a more healthful
condition of body and mind. It Is well
adapted to women and fits In with
other work. It is not necessary to de
vote any regular time to It, as you can
generally plan for It according to the
work you have on hand, and the sea
son Is practically confined to six
months of the year, writes Emily L.
Tucker In Farm and Fireside. As to
location, it le possible to keep bees
In the city even on the roofs of build
ings. but of course It is much better to
be in the suburbs, and better still In
the country. My sister and I have
kept bees for the past eight years. We
started with only two colonies. At
the end of our first season we had In
creased our colonies to four and had
taken off 26 boxes of honey, besides
several more boxes partly finished. We
gradually increased to 19 colonies, but
found that was too many to care for
with our other work, so we have only
13 at present. Our crop of honey
varies according to conditions. Some
seasons we have had over four hun
dred and fifty boxes of honey, besides
many unfinished boxes that we keep
for our own use. What we sell retails
for 25 cents per box. but we make a
special price to dealers. The net
amount received for honey adds quite
a little to our income.

SHOW BELIEF IN THE BOY
Youngster Will Almost Invariably
Prove Worthy of Confidence If
He Is Given It.
Is there a boy problem In ynr
home? If so. you are looking for its
solution. It Is to be found In a little
sentence of four short words: Be
lieve In the boy.
It is a sad day In a boy’s life when
he hears a parent say, "I have no con
fidence in you.” And yet parents—
well-meaning parents, too—say these
very words to their boys, and other
parents say them as plainly by actions
as If they had spoken.
A boy’s daily chores included looking
after the barnyard, milking the cow
and caring for the family horse. On
several occasions the faucet that sup
plied the tank with drinking water was
found open and the barnyard flooded.
Of course, the boy was charged with
carelessness. He stoutly denied hav
ing left the faucet open; but he was
threatened with pftnishment next time
such trouble occurred, and he missed
it only by chance. The cook happened
to look out of the kitchen window just
in time to see the old bay horse turn
the faucet with his nose. He had
. probably learned the trick by accident,
and was smart enough to draw nis
drinking water fresh.
Many a boy has been punished for
Just such acts which he never commit
ted, so be slow to judge the boy. The
normal boy Is quick to respond to kind
ness and just as quick to be hardened
by unjust judgments of those in au
thority. More than one boy came safe
ly through the stormy years of his
teens not because of but in spite of
the system of discipline to which he
was subjected in the home.—The Moth
ers' Magazine.
MYSTERY OF EASTER ISLAND
None Can Tell of What Race Were
the 8culptore Who Carved the
Immense Images.
x
Huge and grotesque stone Images
stand and lie over the fertile surface
of a deserted Island far south In the
Pacific. It Is a place that Poe might
have sung Into existence or Rider |
Haggard created for the scene of some
fantastic romance. Even Its naira,
Easter island, seems more literal '
than geographical. Easter Island,
2,000 miles from South America and
1,400 miles from Pitcairn Island, has
on all the 45 square miles of its area
less than two hundred people. But It
has other inhabitants, great masses of
rock, 600 In number, each carved into
the semblance of a human figure, the
origin of which is a mystery. These
statues weigh on an average from ten
to twelve tons each, some of them
reaching a weight of 40 tons. A few of
them stand on strong platforms 400
feet long, and many similar platforms
stand untenanted.
At the quarry, which Is a crater
(for Easter island is of volcanic ori
gin), a number of these Images lie
half formed as the vanished sculptors
left them.
There is another crater where the
crowns of the figures were made from
rock of a different sort. Here, too,
are found unfinished specimens.—
Churchman.
Ignorant Tourists Bring Dangers.
Ignorance can da as much harm as
malice. Travelers with the most in
nocent intentions in the world delight
in bringing back with them souvenirs
of their travels, and few have any con
ception of the ease with which disease
is spread among plants and animals.
Because of its traffic with China, Jap
an and the South seas, San Francisco
in particular is a favorite port of en
try for strange and obnoxious Insects
—or would be if the various exotic
seeds, fruits aiW plants which have
attracted their attention In the Orient
and the tropics were not ruthlessly
taken from the Incoming tourists. In
one instance, for example, some
strange looking beans were found to
be swarming with weevil. The Indi
vidual from which this precious prize
was taken may have resented the gov
ernment's action as a piece of petty
interference with a personal hobby,
but the government saw in the beans
not a hobby, but a very vital danger
to the vegetable gardens of the coun
try.
Atmosphere Above Earth.
It has been estimated by one scien
tist that at an altitude of 300 miles
above the surface of the earth the at
phere is composed entirely of coront
um; and that farther up still the coro
nium exists, getting thinner as it ex
tends into space.
At a height of 130 miles he esti
mates that the atmosphere consists of
about equal par‘s of coronium and
hydrogen, and at 45 miles the conb
nium is an appreciable part. Nearer
the earth there is less and less of this
light gas, until at the surface of the
earth—If it exists at all—it Is only In
a very minute quantity.
Proper Age for Marriage.
In anclfnt Rome men sixty years
of age and women of fifty were pro
hibited from marrying. Aristotle, in
his Politics, says that eighteen is the
best age for a woman to marry, and
twenty-five for a man. An eminent
British medical authority fixes the
physiological age for the marriage of
the male at from twenty-two to twen
ty-five, and from seventeen to twenty
one for that of the female. This may
be true physiologically, but other con
siderations suggest an age more ad
vanced. How can the calf-lovq of
seventeen or twenty-two know its own
mind ?—Exchange.

TEMPTED TO WITTICISM.
Pedestrians in Broadway, in the
neighborhood of ('anal street, saw a
sign in the doorway of a loft build
ing the other day that brought a
smile to their faces and then gave
them an opportunity to exercise their
sense of humor. A manufacturer
who wanted to engage the services
of several new employees had hung
out this placard: “Wanted, young
girls to learn work on feathers.”
Without doubt ninetv-nine persons
out of every hundred who noticed
the sign remarked, “There is a
chance for anyone looking for a soft
job.”—New York Tribune.
Easy to Reduce Flesh.
It Ib said worn* u can reduce their
weight much easier than can men.
This Is probably accounted for by
their home training.
Woman’s training in the home Is'
one of such constant forced self-denial
that when it comes to working like
seven horses 8nd going without any
thing to eat the ordeal is in the na
ture of a vacation.
Every woman of family is used to
making sacrifices; it becomes second
nature.
After doing all the unpleasant
chores around the house for every
member of the famllv—putting collar
buttons In papa's shirt, sewing on but
tons for big brother, telephoning for
the tailor to send for clothes, wrest
ling with every domestic problem and
downing it—the trifling matter of
working off forty pounds is child’s
play.
Dress Same as Rent.
A French judge has given a unique
decision on a contested dressmaker's
bill. The dressmaker sued the hus
band of a customer for $2,800, the
cost of dresses and cloaks which he
had delivered. The woman's husband
refused to pay, saying that the trades,
man had, at his own risk, allowed his j
wife an absurd credit.
The court inquired into the rent paid
by the defendant. Learning that it
was $800, the court decided that no
woman ought to spend more for her
year's clothes than her husband spent
on his year’s rent, and ordered pay
ment of $800 and costs to settle the
dressmaker's bill.
Helped Snake Get Coat Off.
Snakes in captivity sometimes find
great difficulty Jn getting rid of the
skin which is shed every year. In a
state of nature they rub off the skin .
against the roots and herbage.
In the Bombay Museum there was
an Australian diamond snake, which
appeared likely to die because it could
not get rid of its skin. It was quite
blind and refused all food. An Eng
lish surgeon happened to see the pre
dicament and volunteered his services.
He engaged the native keeper to hold
the snake, and then with knife, scis
sors and forceps he ripped the old
skin down the back and performed
the delicate and risky operation of re
moving the membrane which adhered
to the eves
