Green feed for Hogs.
Green forage crops should sup
ply most of the feed for hogs this
fall and winter. Practical farmers
have learned that corn alone is
very expensive for hogs during pe
riods of normal prices. At the
present price it is prohibitive. If
hogs are to be grown with profit
corn must be supplemented by
green'grazing. Right now every
farmer should sow a few acres of
wheat, oats, rye, bur or crimson
clover. In many cases these crops
can be sown in the cotton or corn
middles. The earlier these croDS
are put in the more pasture will be
furnished.
If crimson clover is sown on land
for the first time there must be
proper inoculation. This may be
done by treating the seed with in
oculation material that can be se
cured free of charge from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C. It may also be se
cured from seed houses. Bur clo
ver seed, if sown in the bur, carry
the inoculation. On good soil noth
ing will make more winter grazing
than rape. The seed are cheap
and only about four pounds are re
quired per acre. A seeding may
be made now and another one in
February. Rape makes a fine mix
ture with wheat or oats.

Unnecessary Economic Waste.
The Missouri Pacific railway
company has issued and distri
buted a large poster over the terri
tory covered by their line showing
the loss of live stock by careless
ness and give the number of each
kind of animals killed by the rail
roads of Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana in the past five years, a
large part of which could have been
prevented by proper precaution.
The enormous annual waste of
live stock in this manner is valued
at approximately $8,000,000 and
enough to provide with meat an
army of 1,500,000 men for a
month. Surely this is an oppor
tunity for economy in which every
one may have a part. And it
should be the pleasure of every
citizen to assist the railroads to
miminize this loss as much as pos
sible during the war at least.
Convention Date Near.
Interest in the approaching Con
stitutional Convention is only pas
sive. The convention will convene
at the state capitol on November
19. The proposal that the con
vention meet, organize and adjourn
until such time as condition of the
country become more settled, is
gaining favor. Those who favoi
this plan argue that the time is in
opportune for writing or adopting a
new constitution, owing to the tur
moil of war. Just what the dele
gates will decide upon convening
is, of course, problematical. But
if a proposed new constitution is
written, the voters of the state will
have the deciding vote, and it is
assured that tney will carefully
scrutinize the new document, be
fore voting for it.

Arkansas Recruits for Army.
Since the declaration of war on
April 6. Capt. N. M. Cartmeli, U. S.
recruiting officer for Arkansas, has
furnished approximately 1.400
men out of the 3,000 the state
was asked for. They are still be
ing accepted on an average of six
a day, from the ten stations in the
state. The regular army is now
30,000 above its authorized
strength, but men are still being
accepted for the service to be held
in reserve. The heavy increase in
enlistments is shown in the follow
ing distribution of the 1,744 men
who have enlisted for the regulars
in the last year: September 46,
October 42, November 31, De
cember 89, January 100, February
63, March 74, April 288, May 353.
June 188, July 263, August 207.
Capt. Cartmeli hopes after cot
ton picking is over that he will be
able to secure more negroes for the
stevedore service, only 21 having
been accepted to date. Thirty-one
negroes have been accepted for
the medical service and only two
are needed to fill the Arkansas
quota.
Seed Wheat,
From reports received from dif
ferent points in the county, very
few farmers have ordered their
seed wheat. Planting time will
soon be here, and if you want seed
wheat, you must act quickly. The
following merchants have agreed
to handle the wheat:
Muse Bros., Junction City.
Wallace-Clark Mer. Co., Strong.
Edgar Lumber Co.. Wesson.
Union Saw Mill Co., Huttig.
J. H. Lewis & Co., Mt. Holly.
McDonald & Co., Smackover.
W. T. Flournoy, Lisbon.
J. F. Sample &. Co., El Dorado.
September Weather.
The highest temperature record
ed here during September was 95
degrees on the 8th and 9th and the
lowest was 49 degrees on the
12th. 'T'he rainfall was three inch
es, all of which fell prior to the 7th
of the month. The month was
ideal for cotton picking and most
farmers took advantage of the fav
orable weather.
There is morn <~’atarrfi in this section
of the country than all other diseases
fiut tog-ether, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh Is a
local disease, greatly Influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall’s Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

preparatory to sailing for France
at an early date for service in the
20th Engineers (Forest) Regi
ment. More men are arriving
daily, and soon the ranks will be
filled for the 1.500 who are to
form the advance guard of the

READS TABLETS OF AGES AGO
University Professor Discovers Fundt*
mentals of Christian Religion
Wera Evolved 2,500 B. C.
Dr. Stephen Langdou has just de
ciphered tablets in the University of
Pennsylvania museum which are thou
sands of years old.
The doctrine of a Messianic hope,
of tiie expectation of deliverance from
sin and suffering hy a God-man in
Ihe shape of a king, goes back (o at
lenst 2,500 B. C„ when the Sumerian
theologians evolved a theory which
has been the basis of Jewish and
Christian religion ever since, accord
ing to his discoveries.
The new tablets are of interest be
cause they show that the Sumerians
never lost hope that the restoration
to a state of sinlcssness and happiness
through the agency of the gods would
come and their faith was pinned on
earthly kings who were deified and
worshipped in the hope that one would
be a deliverer. Elaborate rituals
were made for all of them, but each
failed. Then came the Semite con
quest of Sumer Bnd the era of pessim
ism set In, as shown by the famous
epic of Giigamish, one missing book
ol which has just been^ found in thq
Xippur collection of the University
museum.
The Semites hnd no such Messianic
hope, since the story of Gllgamlsh,
hero of the epic of Gilgnmish. is the
antithesis of the restoration of Para
dise, and this Is the more Important
because Gllgamlsh himself was half
god. It is presumed ihn,t the Jews
got their idea of a Messiah from the
Sumerian epics rather than from their
own congeners in Babylonia.
The discovery is considered import
ant because it shows that the Su
merians who first gave an account of
the creation, flood and fall of man,
which were adopted by the .Tews, also
provided the first theme of a God
man who should sufTer death and re
deem the people from the loss of
paradise. All of these documents date
from before the time of Abraham and
apparently ore copies of those much
older. The fundamentals of Jewish
and Christian religion are shown In
tablets at least 4,500 years old.
OLD ALBUM FIRST ANTHOLOGY
Present-Day Passion for Gathering
Favorite Passages of Prose and
Poetry More Than Fad.
It Is small wonder that the number
of anthologies should be Increased
with every season, since the passion
for making them, so far from beiug a
literary fad, has Its roots at the very
heart of human nature. In one way
or another we are all collectors, and
the desire to group together in a sin
gle volume our favorite passages of
poetry and prose Is at least as old as
the Illuminated manuscripts of the
monasteries.
Moreover, in the generation immedi
ately preceding our own, this taste
was particularly luxuriant; and the
first anthologies of the current fashion
may be found in those albums of our
grandmothers, of which every family
preserves a few, where the melodies
of Moore and the lyrical fervors of
Mrs. Hemans are engrossed In the
neatest and most angular of callg
raphy. And nowadays, when every
thing that is written and collected
seems to find Its way Into print sooner
or later, nothing la more uatural than
that every man or woman of letters
should be represented by his own par
ticular anthology, as a sort of sign
manual of tnste and erudition.
The custom has also conspicuous ad
vantages, for oven the most capricious
collection must needs contain many
indisputable Jewels, and for tbeso
there can never be too many, nor too
frequent readers.Speaking gen
erally, then. It may be said with Jus
tice that there can scarcely be too
mapy of these aids to culture, and that
the more deeply they penetrate Into
the leisure reading of the 8tudent, the
more thoroughly will his appreciation
for what Is best In literature be fos
tered and developed.—Arthur Waugh.
