Palmafesta at Columbia,
With indominable spirit the mercantile
interests of Columbia have
handed old Doctor Gloom a knockout
blow by subscribing $10,000 as a
Kuarantced fund) that will assure even
a better Palmafesta week than the
one held so successfully in the capital
city last spring.
Special committees of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce .are now
busy arranging the program for the
big week which will include the fashion
show, automobile show, fire works,
baby parade, float parade, beauty contest,
state-wide industrial exhibits,
daily band concerts by some nationally
famous musical organization and
a big musical day on which John McCormick

whole community was waiting to see |
what would follow. The school board
appealed to the sheriff, who offered to j
arrest old Zaek if the board would j
provide hi"-, with a warrant. It was i
simple enough at first to draw a warrant
for old Zack's arrest, but legal ;
cliiTicn1 tie-- avo-e. Ho could not well
be t"ken /or assault, for it was the;
lawyer t ;at had attacked him; or fori
war.ton n i-chief, for his intent in go-J
ing to school was not mischievous;'
I
or yet foi ti ' . for he had offered
to pay for his schooling.
There \ as no doubt that on account
of his :>ge he had no business in the
school and that the board had the
right to refuse him schooling; yet it
vis not easy to word h's offense in
such :\ way that it constituted a misdemeanor
:h:;t could properly he stated
in a vairant for his arre t. Several

"1 am riot going to got the town
mived up in a h'W uit for damages,"
said the justice. "I.uvvey is a doughi
1v fighter at law, as well as physically
and he has got the money to
fight with."
The proceedings hung fire for a
\veel< or more. The school hoard sent
an order to the master not to hear
Zack's lessons or to give him any instruction
whatever. But the old follow
came to school just the same and
poor Cobb had to get along with him
;\s best he could. The school board
was not eager again to try putting
him out by force, and it seemed that
nothing less than the state militia
could oust him from the schoolhouse;
and that would need an order from
the governor of the state. On the
whole, public opinion rather favored
his being allowed to pay his tuition
and to go to school if he felt the need
of it.
At any rate he went to school there
all winter and made remarkable progress.
In the course of ten weeks he
could read slowly and he knew most
of the short words in his primer and
second reader by sighU Longer words
he would not try to pronounce, but
called them, each and all, "jackass"
as fast as lie came to them.
hi consequence his reading aloud
was highly ambiguous. He could
write his name slowly and with many
grimaces.

He learned the numerals in a few

remonstrated for the hundredth time.
*4No one else can study."
"Rut 1 can't!" old Zack would reply. 1
"Twouldn't come to me 'less I sung 1
it!"
Toward the last weeks of the term
he was able to multiply with considerable
accuracy and to divide in short
division. Long division he did not
attempt, but he rapidly learned to
cast interest at G per cent. Mo had
had a way of arriving1 at that with
beans before he came to school; and
no one had ever succceded in cheating
hi i. !lo knew about interest money,
lie said, by "sense of feeling."
Grammar ho saw no use for, and i
did not bother himself with i>: but. J
en "i >u>ly e iough, he was delighted j
with geography and toward tl e end |
of the tern bought a copy of Cor- i
.;clr< textbook, which was then used
in Maine schools.
What most interested him w.as to
trace rivers on tho 1 aT)s and to 'earn
their names. Cities he cared nothing
for; hut lie loved to loam about tho
mountain ranges where pine and
spruce grew.
"What places them would he for
sawmills!" lie exclaimed.
Much as he liked his new geography.
however, he had grown violently
angry over the first lesson and
declared with strong language that it
was all a lie! The master had read
aloud to him tho first lesson which
describes the earth as one of the
planets that revolve round the sun
and which says that it is a globe or
sphere, turning on its axis once in
twenty-four hours and so causing day
and night.
Old Zack listened incredulously. "I
don't believe ,a word of that!" he declared
flatly.
The master labored with him for
some time trying to convince him that
the earth is round and moves, but it
was quite in vain.
"No such thing!" old Zack exclaimed.
"I know better! That's the
biggest lie that ever was told!"
He quite took it to heart and continued
talking about it after school.

He really seemed to believe th.it a
threat and dangerous delusion had
gone abroad.
It's wrong;," he said, "putt-in' sich
-.tuff as that into young: ones' heads.
It didn't oug:hter be Mowed!"
What old Zack. was saying about
the earth spread abroad and caused a
great deal of amusement. Certain t
waggish persons began to "josh" him i
and others tried to argue with him,
but all such attempts merely routed;
his native obstinacy. One Sunday.
evening he gave a somewhat wrong
direction to the weekly prayer meeting
by rising- to warn the people that
their children were being taught a
nack of lies; and such was his vehemence
that the regular Sabbath
service resolved itself into a heated
debate on the contour of the earth.
Perhans old Zack believed that, as
a recently educated man, it had become
his duty to set things right in
the public mind.
T;ic c!.?y before school closed he
went to his late antagonist, the lawyer
on the school board, and again
olVered to pay the twenty dollars for
his tuition. After formally expelling
him from school, however, the board
did not dare to accept the money, end
old Zack gave it to the long-sutVering
Master Cobb.

DAIRY FARM
IN OKLAHOMA
In order to study the possibilities
of dairying and to develop better
methods of crop utilization in the dryiarming:
regions of the Southwest,
the Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agriculture
has established a herd of purebred
cbiry cattle on a farm in the
semiarid district of northwestern
Oklahoma. The Bureau of Plant Industry
has had a farm here near the
town of Woodward for many years and
has studied such crops as grain sorghums,
broom corn, forage sorghums,
cowpeas, alfalfa, rye for the prevention
of soil blowing, and winter wheat
for pasture. From now on the farm
will bo used co-operatively by the Bureau
of Plant Industry and the Bureau
of Animal Industry. This is
considered a necessary combination
as most of the feeds grown there are
of the kind that must be fed largely
to live stock.
The dairy division hopes to determine
whether or not it is desirable
to produce live stock under those dryland
conditions and to grow the crops

per acre in terms of milk or cream.
The question is not one of crop tonnage,
but of the amount of finished
dairy! products that can he turned out.
The work here is not designed to discover
the best practices for any particular
state, but to study practices
that will bo desirable in the large
dry land regions where only certain
crops can be grown.
The people of this little Oklahoma
towi have shown great enthusiasm in
regard to the investigations that the
ncp.irtment of Agriculture contempla'es.
The town purchased 100 acres
adjoining the old government farm
and turned it over free to the government
for a period of !>'.) years. The
voters of the town were almost unanimous
in favor of this donation.
The cattle that are being used on
this farm are also in the country-wide
breeding project being conducted by
the dairy division, and bulls have been
sent from the government farm at
ISeltsville, Md. In this breeding project,
which now includes more than
300 cows and fifty bulls, it is hoped
to determine what are the best methods
of breeding for the improvement
of cattle. The large scale of this investigation
should make the results

during their childhood brought them
ivist the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Thousands
of children are bothered with incontinence
of urine, and inability to relain
it is ofttimes called a habit. It
is not always the children's fault. In
many cases the difficulty lies with the
kidneys, and 'can be readily righted.
A Conway mother tells how she went
about it.
Mrs. J. T. Benton, Conway, sviys:
"My little girl was troubled with kidney
trouble. Her kidneys acted irregularly
and bothered her especially
at night. Finally I went to the Norton
