TOWN OFMCIALS.
Tne following are the duly elected of
ficials of the incorporated town of Hut
tig:
Mayor—C. T. Thompson.
Recorder—W. H. Moore.
Marshal—Thos. Ashcroft.
Aldermen—L. A. Bodine, A. E. Lucas,
J. B. Crockett, D. A. Keasler and F. W.

Some are bachelors because they
are unable to choose between
beauty and intellect.
The wise man avoids evil, the
patient man endures it, but the
courageous man conquers it.
Many a man burns his bridges
behind him without first taking the
precaution to have them insured.
Many people are as proud of
what they accomplish as others are
of what they get around doing.
Give every man a square deal.
Upon this commandment hangs all
the law and profits of the business
world. __
As a rule the man who accomp
lishes the most substantial results
is the fellow who has the least to
say about it.
The man who lives only with
himself and for himself is apt to be
currupted by the company he
keeps.—G. H. Parkhurst.
FIGHTING FOR WHAT?
Russia is at war to gain her cen
turies old object of seizing Con
stanople and welding the Slav peo
ples into a world dominating Slav
empire.
Austria is at war to hinder Rus
sia’s aggrandizement and to blot
out the Serbian and Montenegrin
nationalties.
France is at war to regain prest
ige and to recover Alsace-Lorraine.
Serbia is at war because racial
and religious antipathies and Rus
s an money and intrigue controlled
the assassin who made himself
king of that turbulent country by
double murder of his royal prede
cessors.
Japan is at war because it plots
to seize China and exploit the
riches and resources of that popu
lous and helpless country in build
ing up a great Asiatic world power.
Germany is at war because it
means to remain the predominating
power in Europe.
And Great Bntian is at war be
cause German industry, patience
and skill were rapidly taking the
trade of the world from Britsh fi
nanciers, manufacturers and ship
owners, and events gave Great
Britian a chance to destroy that
trade competition by a war in
which all other parties to the con
flct were bound to suffer more loss
than Great Britian, no matter
which way victory went.
This war is just like every other
European war—a slaughter of the
peoples for the benefit and gains of
the autocratic and aristocratic
classes. And * these classes, no
matter how sweetly they sing to us
now. would direct their armies and
navies against us without the least
hesitation if they thought they
could make gain by doing so.
We repeat that it is true for the
American people to drop senti
mental sympathies with any of
these autocracies and aristocracies
and become heart and soul Ameri
can, jealous only of the honor of
our own flag, of the rights of our
own countrymen, of the freedom of
the world seas and. finally, of the
dignity and majesty of our own
dear native country.
PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE
FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO
•OILS OF ARKANSAS—HOW TO
PLANT.
The peanut grows best on well
drained, loose, sandy loam soils of
medium fertility, which should be
prepared thoroughly, this will make
less work in caring for the growing
crop.
When barnyard manure is used as
a fertilizer it should be applied to
the preceding crop that the peanuts
may get the resultant effect. Com
mercial fertilizer may be applied In
the bed of the row Just previous to
the planting of the crop. Apply 200
to BOO pounds of commerclaJ fertilizer
containing two per cent of nitrogen,
8 per cent of phosphoric acid and -I
to 5 per cent of potash. The per cent
of nitrogen should be increased if a
previous green manure crop has not
been turned under. Soils low in lime
should receive an application of BOO
to 600 pounds of lime to encourage
proper ripening of the fruit
Variety Types.
There are two general variety types
of peanuts; those with large pods, the
Virginia Runner and the Virginia
Bunch type and those with small pods.
Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The
Virginia type (s used chiefly for roast
ing purposes; the other are recom
mended for oil content and as forage.
The Spanish is the commercial var
riety for Arkansas.
Only the very best of the crop
should be saved for seed and planted
in a special patch. An Ideal plant
should produce a large number of
pods well filled with seed, uniform in
size, shape and color. The large pod
varieties of peanuts are always shelled
before planting, care being used not
to break the seed covering. Spanish
peanuts may be planted with or with
out the pod. To hasten germination,
soak the pods a few hours just pre
vious to planting. Plant in rows 2 to
2% feet apart, with the plants 6 to 12
Inches apart In a row, depending upon
the variety.
Marking Off Field.
In planting mark the field oil in
rows as In corn planting, and use a
one-horse planter similar to the one
horse cotton planter. For hand plant
lag open up the rows with a small
shovel marker and drop In seed at
proper distance. Cover to a depth
of 1% to 2 inches. Begin cultivation
with a harrow as soon as the crop 1r
planted. After the crop is well up,
start cultivating between the rows
with a small shoveled cultivator and
keep the soli In a loose condition for
pod setting. It Is desirable to force
loose dirt with cultivator up to the
plant, but do not cover the vines.

THE MAN WHO—
The man who loses his head
seldom lands on his feet.
The man who sells “short" wait
ing for a fall often gets a bard
one.
The man who feels that he Is
born to command should avoid
women.
The man who hasn’t the ghost ol
a chance naturally feels out of
spirits.
The man who comes and tells
you all his troubles will soon be
come one of yours.
The man who depends upon
wages will get rich sooner than
the man who depends upon wagers.
The man who finds he Is going
down hill should marry—he will
find marriage an uphill business.

Though hearts are trumps in love, a

To have a woman always agree with

Mr. Farmer and Live Stock Grower, the
Lubbock Sudan Grass $eed Association
Is calling to you to quit buying feed and buy $udan Grass feed.
The Lubbock $udan Grass feed Association was organized last
year and is composed of Lubbock county farmers who are pro
ducers of pure $udan Grass feed. Every crop handled by this
association, was inspected in the field before the crops were har
vested, by a committee of five men. Mr. V. L. Cory, superin
tendent, of Lubbock sub-station No. 8, a state experiment sta
tion, is chairman of said committee. All crops found to be
poisoned by obnoxious pests and weeds were condemed and not
handled by this association. Mr. farmer, do not be misled by the
“inspection certificate.” You have no way in the world to con
nect the seed with the certificate offered, f udan grass is a big
hay producer as a follow-crop after harvesting the wheat and
oats. It can be planted, with good results, up to July first. Pure
recleaned, well matured, officially inspected fudan grass feed,
forty cents per pound delievered. Seed that will please you and
produce satisfactory results. Free booklet on request—“The
Story of fudan Grass.”
