Agricultural Education.
Now1 when our agricultural colleges
in every state are busy and the hun
dreds of boys who are to become the
farm leaders of the future are getting
down to their studies, the following
thoughts on the need of agricultural
education, voiced by Professor H. J.
Waters of Missouri, may be opportune:
“The farmer of tomorrow must face
more serious responsibilities than the
farmer of yesterday,” says Dr. Waters.
'Farming becomes more complex and
difficult as our country develops. The
public domain has been exhausted.
The agricultural area must from this
on be subdivided to support the ever
increasing number to h° provided
with the opportunity to earn a liveli
hood. New and difficult problems are
constantly presenting themselves an 1
must he solved before success is pos
sible. New crops; new demands of
the market; new pests of Insects and
weed; new diseases of plants and ani
mal; new conditions of soil and crop
ping all demand an intelligent and
scientific treatment. However success
ful, therefore, the farmer of yesterday
may have been without the benefits of
scientific knowledge, it is certain that
the farmer of tomorrow will not find
the practical experience of past gen
ni'atirmc uHuniiafp tf the nPU' a n ■ i
changed conditions under which he
must labor.
“The present day collegiate course
in agriculture fulfills all of the reason
able requirements of a liberal educa
tion. disciplining the mind unite as
well as the classics at the same time
that it furnishes information of incal
culable value to the farmer in conduct
ing all his business. It is not al! ot
success, however, to make money. The
educated man lives better, gets more
out of life, and is a better and safer
citizen."
That boiling hot soap suds that
you throw away every Monday is a
great thing to kill mites, if you take
a spray, or cup or dipper and throw
it all over the inside of the chicken
coop.
Green feed is a foundation of vigor
in chickens. Remember this and gc
1 something saved up, so you can sup
ply them in winter.
i
There must be loyalty upon the pan
of members of any organization if i’
expects to succeed.
The man who has an account at the Bank has many
advantages over the one who carries his money in
his pocket — he learns to save the small sums which
the man who carries his money in his pocket spends
for the hundred-and one things be does not really
need and could get along just as well without.
He pays his bills by check, increasing his credit,
and always has a receipt. He takes good care of his
account and increases his credit at the Bank.
He can. at any time, tell where his money goes and
see where there is a possibility of saving a little more
for business purposes.
Unless you have a Bank account, right now is the
time to start. CVmie in and do it today.

Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Murphy who
moved to Hope a few years ago have
r.'turnd and will probably make New
ark their home again. Their many
friends are glad to welcome them back.
Mi’, and Mrs. E. \V. Magness will
leave Monday for Fort Smith to attend
the meeting-of Head Camp F, Wood
men of the World. They go as dele
gates from the local organization,
Mr. Magness representing the Camp
and Mrs. Magnes.s representing the
Circle.
“Patronize home institutions,” cries
the country editor from week to week.
“That’s right,” says the merchant,
“give it to those who go to other towns
to buv voods.” Then with his heart
filled with kindness to the loyal editor,
he sends his job work to Kalamazoo,
or utilizes a piece of wrapping paper
to write an order on for goods or send
a statement to a customer. Funny,
isn't it?
A petition is l>eing circulated ask
ing the legislature to detach a lot of
territory east of town from the Big
Bottom Fencing District. The same
territory was added to the district by
a special act of the legislature two
years ago. Litigation arose over the
construction of the fence and the land
has never been fenced, the case being
finally appealed to the supreme court
where it is now' pending.

HOT
SPRINGS
Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Nyal’s Hot
Springs Blood liemedy
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
