Patriotic sentiment naturally
rebels at the suggestion of
changing “The Star Spangled
Banner,” and the action of the
Baltimore centennial commission
in expressing its emphatic disap
proval of anything of the kind
will probably put a stop to seri
•us discussion of the subject.
After all it appears that noth

The adaption of a few notes of
the music to the voices of chil
dren, which could not be detect
ed by the average listener, is
the only foundation for the hub
hub.
It is, of course, true that none
are difficult for most voices, and
are dfficult, fo rmost voices, and
that if the sole object were the
preparation of an anthem which
could be rendered passably by
untrained choruses the music
would have to be rewritten.
And it is also true that the poe
try suffers by comparison with
some of the great odes of the
language, besides being entirely
too warlike to suit earrest ad
vocates of the day when !Iie lion
end the lamb shall lie down to
gether.
It is not pleasant to Britons
to hear their soldiers, even of a
long past generation, referred to
as hirelings and slaves, and to
a crowd vocally rejoicing that
“their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps’ pollution.”
But “The Star Spangled Ban
ter,” like the Marseillaise, is dis
rfhvrtly the product of inspira
ifibir, and to its note of triumph
and defiance, which fired the na
tional heart in 1814, is due the
fact that it became what it is
*n expression of American pa
triotism.—Memphis News-Scim

Green Feed For Poultry.
Do not overlook or neglect the
hen. Her business is a small one
it is true, but taken in the ag
gregate at the end of a year it
is a big thing to the farmers of
Arkansas. The hens are not do
ing much now. It is their holi
day, as well as ours. The price
of eggs is high, and fresh eggs
are scarce.
The best way to get eggs is to
look after the hens a little. See
that they can get plenty of fresh
water every day. See that they
get some meat scraps, ground
bone and oyster shells too, if
you can. The most important
is a green feed during the win
ter, when there is no green feed.
The way to make it cheap is to
use oats. Fill a tub or bucket
nearly full of oats. Pour warm
water over them and let stand
all night. Next day put a layer
of oats about an inch deep on an
old burlap sack, laid on top of
some boards. Cover over with
another sack, and spread on an
other layer of oats, and then an
other sack, and so on until all
the oats are spread. Then wet
the whole pile every day or two
with warm water, and keep in a
warm place, where it will not
freeze, until the oats sprout.
When the sprouts get two or
three inches long, begin to feed
to the chickens, and continue as
long as it lasts. You can get
the idea from this and devise va
rious methods along the same
line to meet your own conveni
ence in making oat sprouts.
You will find this to be one of
the best and cheapest feeds for

will cause the hens to lay earlier
and oftener. Remember that I
have some fertilizer and alfalfa
bulletins. You may have one if
you want it- The fertilizer sea
son is now here or will be in a
few weeks.
Right now is the time to breed
your sows. The pigs will arrive
in the spring when the weather
is mild enough for them to live
and thrive, and then as soon as
the grass is ready for pasturage
the pigs will be getting ready to
eat grass. They will grow fine
then.
This is the best season of the
year to breed the cows too, so
the calves will arrive next fall in
good weather and get a good
start before winter comes on.
Fall calves are better than
spring calves. Think it over
and see if you do not agree with
me on this.
A merry Christmas to you all.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It’s For One Thing Only
Newport People Appre
ciate This.
Nothing can be good for every
thing
Doing one thing well brings
success.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kid
neys.
Here is reliable evidence of
their worth.
Mrs- B- F. Owens, Magness,
Arkansas, says: “One of our
family complained a great deal
of a dull pain in the small of the
back. Dizzy spells were common
especially in the morning. The
kidney secretions were too un
natural. Hearing Doan’s Kid
ney Pills highly recommended, a
box was procured. They made a
cure.’’
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the
same that Mrs. Owens had. Fos

Stringer Home Burglarized.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Stringer of
Algoa, are in Jonesboro today
and have notified the three jew
elry stores of the city to be on
the lookout for parties who
might attempt to pawn or sell
suspicious looking jewelry.
Mr. and Mrs- Stringer report
that a thief entered their home
at Algoa and stole two diamond
rings, a watch and watch fob,
belonging to Mrs- Stringer. The
stolen goods are valued at three
hundred and fifty dollars.
There are no clues as to who
the guilty party or parties are,
there being no suspicious parties
in the Algoa neighborhood. —

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months," writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to fake
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
1 took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. "
If you suffer from any of the ailments
Jieculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
oday. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
At all druggists.
