STATE VETERINARIAN
Ur. R. M. Gow, the Statt
veterinarian, in the e mploy o
the Arkansas College of Agri
culture, lives in Little Rock ant
has offices in the Old Stats
House. He has charge of ths
State Serum plant for the man
ufacture of hog cholera serun
and has three assistant veterin
arians. one devoting his whole
time to hog cholera control
another to general problems
hog cholera anthrax and othei
contagious animal diseases ant
the third almost entirely to tick
eradication work to be conduct
ed under the state law ant:
through the state tax in the dis
trict lying west of the White
River.-The serum for hog chol
era is manufactured by the Col
lege of Agriculture at the Little
Rock plant and sold to the far
mers at cost. The solution for
diping vats for tick eradication
is furnished free by I)r. Gow
for all vats in counties in the
tick eradication district. All
county agricultural agents arc
in constant communication with
the State Veterinarian, *and
farmers should report out
breaks of animal diseases
promptly to the county agent
or to Dr. Gow.
PLANT BERMUDA
Feed for the stock twelve
months in the year, Bermuda
pasture for summer and Ber
muda hay for winter can be
had on any farm. Why grow
more cotton to buy hay when
Bermuda grows so readily ev
erywhere- Bermuda is the
cheapest feed that can be
grown. Bermuda is adapted to
nearly all soils. It is hardy and
drought resistant. But above all
Bermuda grass is the richest in
feeding value of any grass
grown in the South. Its protein
content is higher than that of
any grass known. Pasture the
Bermuda already on the place
and get some more started for
hay. Start it during April or
May. Use pieces of sod planted
in rows three feet apart or sow
six pounds of seed per acre.
Start Bermuda and then grow
livestock on it.
WHY NOT BE SAFE?
It will be the part of wisdom
on the part of each and every
farmer in Arkansas to “play
safe” this year and grow
enough feed for all his stock
and enough meat and vegetab
les for his family for a whole
year. “Corn. Clover and Con
tentment” and “Pigs, Peas and
Prosperity” will be good slo
gans. If the European war con
tinues we can only market ten
million bales of cotton and il
farmers grow fifteen bales they
may expect to get about si*
cents for it. Plant a little more
corn, larger patches of peas
soy beans and peanuts, and a
larger field of Sudan grass
and another acre of sorghum
i and a bigger garden, and gel
another cow or a few calves
and a few more pigs and be
safe, and then hold cotton un
t til December or January. Why
not?

Sister Gladys is a shadow of her barmy former self,
But her lovely frock for Easter is upon the wardrobe shelf.
Myl 1 he way she bluffed and bullied till the woman worked at night
Though she said her eyes were failing and she needed better light,
bather looked at Gladys outfit, then his brows knit in a frown
And he went around all morning with his lips drawn grimly down

And the hats O, they are beauties! Mother has the dearest thing
U ith a bunch of apple blossoms and a cunning sea gull’s wing.
She things that it is too youthful, but my goodness! Nowadays
H omen wear hats that are girlish till they ’re eighty, anyways.
Sister Alice she was lucky! Hers is just a week from France—
Hut when father saw the price mark there was anger in his glance.

Sister Gladys got a model that ’s exclusive, and brand new;
It is just a simple bonnet with a trimming of pah blue.
■\inety dollars and it’s charming and is simply rich and grand,
But dear father kicked about it, for he couldn’t understand.

That s as costly and as splandiS as this hat and dress of mine.
Mother tooli his silk hat Thursday, and has had it ironed now,
And the cleaner says his clothing can be furbished up somehow—
So he hasn’t any bother, and we’ll all be out at oiurch—
Though he says he 'll give the heathen all they find if they will search
Through his pockets for a penny! Father grumble* like a brute.
Why, a man is always stylish if he has a Sunday suit!

LIST OF MEMBERS OF
NEXT LEGISLATURE
Complete Roster of Both
Houses ar, Shown by Returns
From Democratic Primary
Complete returns from all
counties, which give the choice
of tli people for the legislative
session of 1917, disclose some
interesting facts. The first of
these is the comparatively few
members of the House to be re
turned. There are only 11m m
bers of the 1915 session suc
ceeded in convincing the voters
'they would be of material as
sistance in country salvation,
but there will still be quite a nu
cleus from which a Speaker
may be chosen. The new mem
bers are not so modest as those
of former sessions in this res
pect. for already a number of
those who have not had prev
ious legislative experience, are
letting it be known that they
will accept the Speakership if
it is thrust upon them.
The interest in the Senate of
1917 was apparently not so
keen over the state, for three
of the newly elected m- mbers
had no opposition. Nine of the
recently elected Senators have
- had previous experience in law
making in the House. Twenty
two members of the Senate are
• lawyers, one is a physician,and
one is a preacher.
The House shows in its list,
several members who have pre
viously served in the Senate.
■ It has been intimated that
i the attitude of members in 1915
■ on the Sawyer racing bill, had
considerable to do with the
I failure of many to return. This
■ is hardly possible, though of
The 14 who come back, onh
Hamilton, Camden.
Twentieth*—J. O. A. Bush
three voted in favor of the bill
It is also claimed that the hallo
[of others on the statewide pro
h ibit ion bill caused many to bi
among the missing in 1917
Those who circulate the repor
allege that the people resen
the passage of the bill,but mos
! of those who came back votei
for the bill, as well as agains
the racing bill measure.

ter of the members of botl

I wonder il they know it, those little ones whose ,
days
Are spent where sadness hover* and beauty
never strays; ,
Whose childhood ceased the moment that they
had strength to bear
The burdens which were waiting, whose little
(aces care
Has maned with cruel fingers, whose eyes have \
lost their glow.
Whose hopes have withered early—I wonder
il they know? ‘
The bells are ringing loudly, the splendid
anthems rise.
And hatred is forgotten and ruthless frenzy
dies;
The story of His glory we gladly hear
again.
And for a precious moment Love comes once
more to reign;
But they whose cheeks are pallid, poor little
heirs of woe,
Who sit in darkened hovels—1 wonder if they
know ?
I Around the altars lilies in spotless white are
set,
I That we may still remember, that no one may
forget;
The brave words that He uttered we solemnly
repeat.
We learn again the lesson and deem the learning
sweet;
j His message to the children is reverently
heard,
But arc the little toilers by glad emotion
stirred ?
His promise is repeated where heads are gravely
bowed.
Men cease a while to covet, and women, fair
and proud.
Kneel piously and humbly and for His
mercy prav,
foi
Their vanity forgotten, their envy put away;
We sing that he is risen, the lordly and the
low.
But, poor, wan little toilers, I wonder if they
know ?
Ring out, O chimes of Easter, that all mankind
may hear.
That pride may be forgotten and love may
reappear.
That they who proudly covet and they who
foster greed
May hear the saving message and, hearing, pause
to heed—
That they, poor little-toilers, condemned to early
woe.
And cheated of their childhood, at last may
gladly know!
