THE KNOCKER
After God had finished the
rattlesnake, the toad and the
vampire, He had some slimy
subsance left, with which He
made a Knocker.
A knocker is a two-legged
animal with a corkscrew soul,
o wafpr-cinnkprt hrnin and a
combination backbone, made
of jelley and glue, and where
other people have their heart
he carries a tumor of rotten
principles.
When a knocker comes
down the street, honest men
turn their backs, the angels
weep tears and the devil shuts
the gates of hell to keep him
out.
No man has a right to
knock as long as there is a
hole of water deep enough to
drown himself in, or a rope
long enough to hang his old,
dirty, stinking carcass with.
Judas was a gentleman com
pared to a knocker, for after
betraying his master, he had
enough character to hang
himself, and a knocker has
not.—Exchange.

ARKANSAS NEEDS MORE'
LIVE STOCK ON FARMS
Since 1900 there has been
a 30 per cent decrease in the
number of beef cattle in the
United States. During his time
[the population has increased
about 40 per cent.
While business depression
has affected the cattle market
adversely, it would be well
for Arkansas farmers to con
sider that this decrease means
a considerable depletion.
Present conditions indicate
that this is a favorable time
to improve the quality and in
crease the number of animals
on many farms of the State.
It s likely that very few breed
ing cattle will be sold from
Arkansas- this year because
of present market conditions.’
Crop reports indicate that
pastures have improved in
most sections of the state and
that the prospect for a hay
crop is now up to the 10 year
average. It would seem to be
folly to put young growing
cattle or breeding cows on the
market with such prospects
for pastures and feed and con
sidering the fact that now
there is only one beef to
pvpw twn farms in fViP Stafp
SCHOOLHOUSE BURNS
Newport,Aug.l—The school
house at Centerville, about 17
miles from here, was destroy
ed by fire of an unknown
origin Sunday night. Plans for
the erection of a rural con
solidated high schol at Center
ville are well under way, and
it is thought that the build
ing will be ready for the
opening of school in the fall.
Bird Friends of Gardener.
Few people realize the value of birds
in heaping Burden insects under con
trol. Even the despised English spar
row sometimes eats a worm. I have
watched them for hours, busily chasing
moths which the birds go after with
far more energy than they ever display
In gathering seeds.—Exchange.
Little Sympathy for Him.
“Rendin’ ’bout what dem soldier men
went through.” said TT«r-*!r Ebon, “!*
K’ineter make it mighty hard to sym
pathize wif de man dat complains
'bout a little thing like a hot day.”
Daily Thought.
Words and feathers the wind carries
away.—Herbert.

Some of Brown’s
Brown Scraps
the field of life
Life is a field with such a soil
That naught it yields without the toil
Of brafn, of heart, of hand;
And he who fails this law to heed
Will live to know, and feel his need,
He’ll find but thitsle, thorn or weed,
Will grow upon his land.
For He who made the field hath said
In sweat of face we eat our bread,
. And man hath found it so.
Man breaks the soil and sows the seed,
That Nature’s Sun and rian must feed,
For Nature knows the things they need
To make them live and grow.
God works with man and man with God,
On sea, or air, or turfted sod, _
In nature and in grace;
Man plows the soil and sows the seed,
God gives the sun and rain to fee,
So each one thus supplies a need—
Each working in his place.
So God has give man a mind
_With which to think to know to find
The thing that’s wrong or true.
Man may select the seed to sow,
To grow the crop he wants to grow—
A crop of weal or one of woe—
The rest will Nature do.
With Summer heat and Winter snow,
The years so fleet will come and go,
Till all shall see the throne.
God on the throne as white as snow,
With open bood, will read, and show,
Then every living soul shall know
They reap what they have sown.

FATE OR GOD
Do mortals know or is it so,
That life’s a plan fixed on a chart,
And that a hand wrote out the plan
Long ages ’fore this world did start,
That every thought and word and deed
Is but a cog within this wheel,
And do wre learn that it must turn
To make us think, or act, or feel.
Is that great wheel—the wheel of fate,
That turns in heaven, earth and hell;
Must men and angels on it wait,
And demons move beneath it’s spell?
Is there in this great universe,
A living force, a moving power,
To help one dodge a coming curse,
Or grasp a blessing in his hour?
If there’s no intervening power,
Then each must bide his time to start
As wdse or fool, to fill the rule
As stated for him on the chart
Man is but, then, a helpless worm,
Helpless to walk, to run, or fly,
To whom fate gives the right to squirm,
To live, to suffer, and to die.
Without a wray to change his day,
Control his action, or his state,
And though he may desire or pray,
He’ll find no listening ears on fate;
Each man, and beast, and bud, and bloom
Must rise, or fall, at fate’s decree,
And from the cradle to the tomb
There is no freedom—none are free.
Oh take away this thought from me,—
There is a God, and he is just;
Fate has no iron bound decree.
’Tis God, not fate, in w’hom we trust;
He wratches all in earth and sky:
He notes each sparrow in its fall.
He hears His children when they cry,
And sheds His mercy over all.
Then do not talk of dark decrees,_
That life is planned and manned by such;
Such doctrine might some devil please,
To help him hold his fiendish clutch
On some poor, lost, benighted soul
That worships at the shrine of fate
And blindly misses life’s true goal
Until he cries, too late! too late! !
FEBRUARY
January, you must go
With your winter wind and snow.
February, like a queen,
Comes along and slips between
Winter’s freeze and snow and mud,
Springtime’s breeze and glow and bud,
Winter’s frost and fog and gloom,
Springtime’s song of frog and bloom; ?
So of thi$ month it may be said,
It’s ’twixt the living and the dead.
It is to us the time of year
That sounds the resurrection near.

A Farmer’s Store
Our storehouse is the farmer’s market place.
It is a square deal store where farmers can bring
their produce and know they are going to get the
best market prices that conditions afford.
Our Store is the place where the farmer can
buy his flour, sugar, coffee, and feedstuff under
the same conditions as when he sells to us—the
square deal way.
We are proud of the confidence the farmers
of this section have in us and we appreciate their
patronage.
