It is easy for a good man to make
a bad break.
The man who takes advantage of
another man because he is in a po
sition that is temporarily unassaila
ble is not much of a citizen.
A Missouri man advertises for a
wife weighing 300 pounds and whc
is six feet tall. Some people sim
ply can't get along without a boss
A magazine paragrapher remarks
that some people are like wheel
barrows: They have to be pushed
And others are like wagons: The;
never get anywhere without a pull
Blessings sometimes come in pe
culiar disguises. An eastern mai
lost $15 worth of chickens on
night a few days ago. The nex
morning he found a purse contain
ing $00, left by the thief who, evi
dently, was in a hurry to get awaj
Colonel Goethals comes to Pres
'dent Wilson’s rescue by sayini
that we should never permit th
Canal to be used free by one natioi
while we impose a tax on another
That is the view taken by all patri
otic Americans who believe in th
square deal. No matter wha
jiigh - sounding political platforn
phrases —written for popular con
sumption -may say. this countr
cannot afford to abrogate a treat
which states plainly in purport, i
not in so many words, that thi
square deal shall be assured on 1
every occasion. The opening of
the Canal gives us an #opportunity
to show our sincerity.
The honor system of working
convicts on the public roads is to
be tried out by Texas, a state that
has a convict problem of no small
dimensions. The experiment will
be interesting to watch. A large
majority of the Texas prisoners
are negroes. It will be interesting
to see if the negro is as amenable
to latitude in prison discipline anc
prison honor systems as the white
prisoners of Illinois. Colorado and
California. If he is it is safe to as
sume that the Illinois system of
road making by convicts is past the
experimental stage and ready to be
accepted by such states as Arkan
sas which is still groping around
in the dark ages of criminal man
agement for a solution of a very
pressing problem.
IMMIGRATION BIU SURE OF ENACTMENT,
It is very evident that the new
Immigration Bill will become a law
in the near future. The bill has
passed the House by a vote of 252 j
to 126 and will pass the Senate by
about 3 to l.so that if President
Wilson should veto the bill, Con
gress will then pass it over his
head. It is well known that Pres
ident Taft vetoed the bill at the
suggestion of Cardinal Gibbons,
who is bitterly opposed to the bill,
as it will keep his Catholic brethren
from coming over here. It is not
believed, however, that President
Wilson will take orders from any
eclesiastical prelate or anyone else
but his own good sense and good
judgement. The inglorious end
and political extinction of President
Taft should be a warning to Presi-!
dent Wi'son.

MILLIONS OF TONS OF SODA
Natural Deposits in British East Af
rica Form an Almost Inexhaust
ible Supply.
The rail read builders in British
Bast Africa have just completed a
branch from the main Uganda line
to the shores of Lake Mogadi, where
there is a marvelous soda deposit.
Normally this strange lake appears
as if it had frozen and snow had
fallen, and that the snow had then
partially thawed and frozen solid
igain. The heat is extreme. The
soda burns the feet through the boots
and the crystalline spikes, which look
like hoarfrost, will pierce any hut
the thickest sole. After the rains
there is a layer of water over the
greater part of the lake, which turns
a lovely pink color, giving the whole
a wonderfully beautiful appearance.
By moonlight the scene is most
weird and never to he forgotten. It
is estimated that the lake contains
at least 200,000,000 tons of crystal
line substances composed almost
equally of carbonate and bicarbonate
of soda in the natural state, and con
tinually fed by surface and under
ground streams of saturated soda
liquor. It is intended to begin tap
ping this inexhaustible store of
wealth immediately.

RURAL CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS AND TRANSPORTATION
I
conveyance:
s'
1 he Wagcnette
The Arkansas Education Commission, composed of twenty-cne prominent eiti'ens, and the State Hoard of
Education joined with State Superintendent Cook in support of a statute authorizing the consolidation of weak
rural school districts and the transportation of pupils to and from these larger district units. Tile General As
sembly Incorporated these provisions in Act 116 of 1911.
Since then more than 100 districts have taken advantage of this law and at least, sixteen wagonettes are
now transporting children to and from school. This larger district unit affords rural children all the advan
tages of graduation, long terms, first class equipment and high schools adapted to their needs. This is the tvoe
of school the State Board of Education Is fostering and for which state aid is available. Consolidated schools
give much better schools for much longer terms at the same, or less, cost per pupil than the several one
roora schools that before existed. The greater taxing unit will afford means for erecting g ;od school build
ings and the larger community will build up social activities with ihe consolidated school as the renter.

Every Fifth Plantation
has Bell Telephone Service.
Bell Telephones are being installed
in rapidly increasing numbers through
out the State.
The reason for this growing popu
larity lies in the character of Bell Tele
phone Service itself. It is of wonderful assist
ance to the planter in many ways.
Of course there is a Bell Telephone on
your plantation!
