ACT NO. 3 TO YOUR INTEREST.
As a tax-payer it is to your per
sonal and individual interest that
the receipts and expenditures of
county, city and improvement dis
tricts be published. Even if you
don’t care to analyze or even read
the reports, the very fact that thf y j
have to be published is what is im- i
portant to your interests. The of J
ficial who knows that every finan
cial transaction of his office is go
ing to have to be published in the j
newspaper of his county, is going
to be an economical, careful and
more efficient public servant, no
matter what his conduct might be
; f no publicity were required by
Jaw. Act No. 3 to be voted on in
September is the act that requires
publicity in public affairs.
Agiicultural education holds the
-young min’s head up and makes
him proud of the farm and his work.
The young man who by a study of
,-Agriculture learns the phases of
icomntry life is not only content to
return to the farm but glad of the
opportunity. On the other hand,
an agricultural education secured
away from home gives the student
a broadened vision which develops
tiim in a personal way.
Speaking of smooth individuals,
there is a Kansas man whose wife
was away and who was heard talk
ing the most loving gush to his
ethnographer. A scandal started,
«out the man proved that he was
dictating a letter 10 his wife. Kan
sas has always had the reputation
for turning out some pretty smooth
fellows.
The law requires that the de
linquent tax list be published in the
newspaper. Do you hear anybody
saying that this is not right arid
proper? Why isn't it just as right
and proper to publish a list of tax
payers who have their assessments
reduced by the county judge or
board of equalization? The public
has a right to know. Vote for Act
No. 3 in order to get publicity in
public affairs.
Amending the constitution may
be a good way to give Arkansas re
lief from a lot of situations that are
entirely unfitted to modern con
ditions, but the belief is growing
that a constitutional convention is
the best way out of it. if-the con
vention is controlled by the right
sort of men.

An exchange believes if men
would pay as much attention to
their own internal arrangements as
they do to the machinery in their
automobiles, they would be much
happier and live longer.
Resorting to physical violence is
a poor way of settling disputes, but
there are certain occasions when a
man feels that the privilege of
evening up things is worth just
about $5 and costs.
PLACE OF TREE IN HISTORY
Always an Object of Veneration and
Treasured From the Earliest
Times.
Flow truly the tree bar been treas
ured in old* n times! One has only tn
lurn to thp Old Testament to under
stand. The voice of God caine to
Moses from the burning bush; and
David, when he inquired of the Lord,
how and when he should attack the
Philistines, was told, "Thus shalt not
go up; but fetch a compass behind
them, and come upon them over
against the mulberry trees. And let
it be, when thou hrarest the sound of
a going in the tops of the mulberry
trees, that then thou shall bestir thy
self; for then shall the Lord go out
before thee, to smite the hosts of the
Philistines.”
To the .lews, the willow' was at one
time an emblem of joy. At the insti
tution of the feast of the tabernacles,
the children of Israel received the
command, "Ye shall take you on the
first day the boughs of goodly trees,
branches of palin trees, and the
boughs of thick trees, and the willows
of the brook.”
Much nearer, because associated
with the holiday still so kind to our
children, are the Druid festivals, the
Christmas tree, the mistletoe. And
the Druids not only worshiped the oak
tree, but made of it their temple of
justice where their courts of the peo
ple were held. They seemed to feel
in its strength and permanence, its
beauty and kindness, a source of in
spiration in dealing with the cares
of their people and ip helping to dis
pense mercy and kindness.
Your Children’s Manners.
Some of the things we say against
the immigrants sound very strange
from American lips. We speak of the
corruption of our children's manners
through contact with immigrant chil
dren in the public schools, when all
the world is scolding us for our chil
dren’s rude deportment. Finer man
ners are grown on a tiny farm in
Italy than in the roaring subways of
New York; and contrast our lunch
counter manners with the table man
ners of the Polish ghetto, where bread
must not be touched with unwashed
hands, where a pause for prayer be
gins and ends each meal, and on festi
val occasions parents and children
join in folk songs between courses!
—Mary Antin in American Magazine.
Shakespearian Tobacco.
Regarding a reader's query on the
absence of reference to tobacco in
Shakespeare's plays, I write to recall
one indirect instance. In “King Henry
the Fourth" Hotspur, speaking of a
certain lord, says: “And 'tw-ixt his
finger and his thumb is held a pounce)
box. which ever and anon he gave his
nose and took it away again. Mho.
therewith angry, when it next came
there, took In snuff.” I might venture
a conjecture that there are not more
instances because a majority of the
plays were written in tobaeooless
times*. As it was. Hotepur lived long
before the discovery of tobacco or
of snuff, or, indeed, of America.—

PAUL BARNES’ CHARM
—•♦•—
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.
"Paul iiarnes is so ethereal—that is
his charm," lisped Miss Minerva If.
win. apropos of the man she expected
' 10 marry.
Tier close friend, Ada Warner,
looked impressed. Not so, blunt, plain
spoken Jerome Haight, her fiance. He
was a great, honest bear of a fellow.
Haight had been obliged to work his
own way in the world. Practical
common-sense was his basis. He had
little patience with the constant aes
thetic pose of Miss Irwin, and was
glad when she was gone.
"She is so cultured, so refined, isn’t
she, now, Jerome?" spoke Ada, with
a rather longing and mildly envious
sigh as the visitor departed.
"Is that what you call it?” asked
Jerome with a smile. "Why, her
high attainments,' as she lisps them,
! don’t appeal much to me. I don't see
j much else but the ardor of a faddist
in her new affiliation.”
“Oh, Jerome! remember she is my
i friend.”
"And you are worth ten of her,”
insisted Jerome convincedly. "Don't
let her spoil you, dear. Ever since I
heard of her she’s been running after
this and that new cult. Now she is
devoted to—what do you call it?—that
‘soul shop.’ ”
“You shock me!” protested Ada.
"There is a select little group in the
city who have organized a new spirit
ual congress. T-hey meet, discuss the
higher ethereality, and really some of1
tlieir literature is Inspiring.”
“Put for what end?” challenged the
critical Jerome. "Where lies the util
ity? Do they raise the helpless? feed
the poor? Ah. no. They comprise a
mutual admiration society. I will ad
mit, the lady devotees l«ok filmy and
delicate in thrir affected oriental cos
tumes. T acknowledge that they’ve got
poor I’arnes so refined down that he
manicures his finger nails four times
a day. That wavy blond mustache
of his is a dream. The new flowing
cut to his overcoat suggests a French
exquisite of the French monarchy. He
daw dies his time away, though, and he
isn't ranch of a man.”
Ada. was quite incensed and pouty
at all this, but her emotions subsfded
as her fiance parted from her in his
heartsome, honest way. Certainly he
was a lover to bo proud of! There
was no pretence about Jerome Haight.
He had experienced hard knocks in
his young career, and they had made
him practical, a rising, dependable

man of business. There was not hi*
superior in athletics in the village, he
was straight as an arrow, strong as a
lion. He was truthful, self-reliant.
Miss Irwin was indeed spoiling Ada.
There was no doubt that in joining
the cult her lover had improved so far
us au ability for petty drawling high
art ideas was concerned. He bad
grown immaculate in his dress. To
pick a flower, he would have hewn
horrified to vulgarly snip it from the
\ stem without a napkin or a handker
chief to protect the tips of his spot
i less lemon colored gloves. He never
| smiled. To laugh outright would have
j disturbed his aesthetic ideas for hours.
He became a drone and acted bored.
"A balanced serenity," was the way
Miss Irwin described the tired, blase
! pose of her inestimable suitor. "And,
oh! he has such poetical ideas! IKt
gave me a bunch of violets last even
ing with a deliciously apt sentiment!
‘They seemed to kiss with a hundred
fairy delicate lips, their beauty spoke
like a song.' ”
At which Jerome gritted his teeth
and almost snarled, and commented in
au undertohe: ‘Hot!”
Twice Ada asked her lever to accom
pany her to the city and attend one
of the readings at the “soul shop."
The high priestess of the cult was to
preside. She was described to Jerome
as some rare princess of light, beauty
and brains; but he resisted the mag
netic influence.
"1 understand that she collects two
dollars a head in advance at these
aesth* tic seances,” he advised Ada
!'nines inherited his money; 1 have
1 to earn mine. I'm saving it for a little
home for you and me, one of these
days. We won't waste time and money
listening to a lot of mushy trash. We'll
take a right royal spin on the river,
dear. Bracing air, the invigorating
skate glides—they are worth all the
i stufTy, idealistic nonsense of your
clever ‘high priestess of the soul shop,’
believe me!"
And Jerome looked so strong, so
noble, so intensely humanly perfect
that Ada began to think that there
was a force and meaning to his self
reliant ways, that promised something
better of a future than the azure
tinted, pearl-tipped pictures painted
by the impressible Miss Irwjn.
Certainly it was a jovial, inspiring
scene to participate in, that of the
following evening. All the village was
out on the river, it seemed. Laughter,
exercise, health—the atmosphere was
pungent with their Influence. Miss
Irwin appeared for a moment to look
on, shrugged her dainty shoulders at
"the common herd" and went home.
Her escort, Barnes, shivered. It hurt
his sensitive feelings to see people
enjoying themselves in this crude
way. ’
"Wait—wait!” spoke Jerome, half
an hour later, as amid the rare ex
hilaration of the sport, Ada dashed
away from him with a gay trilling
laugh of defiance.
“Now, catch me if you can!” was
the quick challenge.
They had skated beyond the center
of sport. Ada was away like a sprite.
She managed to get a fair start in ad
vance of Jerome, and glided along
recklessly.
"Stop! Turn quick!” shot out
Jerome. “A danger sign. Ada!” and
his shout was a thrill as he noted
what had happened.
Heedless of the sign Ada had swung
past It. There was a warning crackle
and then a crash. She fell as a break
in the ice tripped her up. Then, half
engulfed in the chilling flood, her head
struck a projecting spur of ice.
Just in time, but not until Ada was
half submersed. Jerome reached her
side, lifted her while his skates were
fairly dancing ever the swaying sur
face, and bare her out of the peril
that menaced..
imrimg. spf'iiK. iih in
love and alarm, but a dark bruise
showed on Ada's forehead. She lay
limp and senseless.
With a jerk Jerome tore off his
overcoat. He wrapped Ada within It.
Then with the strength and vigor that
was not born of the "balanced seren
ity” of the "soul shop,” he darted
away like an arrow.
Ada’s hurt was slight, but the doc
tor summoned at the Warner home
told Mrs. Warner:
‘‘If she had not been brought to
shelter and warmed as speedily as
she was, the cruel cold might have
done something severe for her.”
"And if I had been with Mr. Barnes,
five miles from a house, what would
have become of me!” Ada whispered
penitently to Jerome.
“Yes,” responded her lover with a
smile, "I can fancy our delicately bal
anced friend carrying you to safety!”
“Oh, Jerome! can you ever forgive
me for ever trying to ‘refine’ you
through a course of lectures at that
dreadful ‘soul shop?’ pleaded Ada, two
evenings later.
‘‘Why, what has happened now?” in
quired Jerome.
"Paul Barnes has eloped with the
high priestess of the cult,” was the
stunning announcement.

URGES USE OF GOAT’S MILK
English Society Points Out Its Mani
fold Advantages Over the
Product of the Cow.
-•
That many diseases are spread by
milk is a fact on which physicians
are agreed. But they differ widely as
t£> how the milk shall be made pure,
j Of course the ideal method is to in
sure the cleanliness of the dairy
farms, the health of the cows and the
sanitary condition of the pails, cans
and bottles in which the milk is
placed. But this is both difficult and
expensive.
Many physicians urge the pasteuri
zation of the milk, that is to say, its
heating to 140 degrees F., and its be
ing kept at that temperature for half
an hour. Others say that this destroys
the food value of the milk and it is
better to run the risk of septic sore
throat, tonsilitis, scarlet fever, typhoid
fever and diphtheria than to drink
milk that is valueless as food.
Another suggestion comes from an
eminent English physician. Dr. Walter
Edmunds of London, who urges thirt
cows' milk be discarded in favor of
goats’. Writing to the lancet, he
says:
“Goats practically never have tuber
cle. therefore their milk can be given
without pasteurizing; further, it can
he obtained fresh and clean. I once
caught in a test tube milk from the
! teat of a goat being milked by a boy;
the test tube was placed in an incuba
tor and remained sterile. Goats are
small and cleanly animals, and can be
kept in health even in the center of a
large town; their milk is said to be
better for infants than cows’ milk be
cause the curd is finer.”
The Goat*society of England calcu
lates that for every 2Vfe cents spent on
the keep of a goat it returns one
quart of milk.
American Scholarship.
If American scholarship is not in
place it is in power. If It does not
carry the election today, it determines
the policy of tomorrow. Calm, pa
tient, confident, heroic in our busy
material life, it perpetually vindicates
the truth that the things which are
unseen are eternal.—Ueorge William
