WORK BEFORE THE FARMERS UNION
Some of the Important Matters That Will Come up Before
 the State Meeting

State Secretary Ben l.. Griffin of Conway, states that one of the most important matters that will come up before the State meeting of the Farmers Union which con- venes at Little Rock next Tues day will be the question of cotton warehouses, which will be thor oughly discussed. There are a number of warehouses now being built throughout the state, and this question is therefore one of great importance.
 A number of recommendations will be made at the meeting with reference to the future of the or ganization. The past 12 months have been eventful in the history of the Union in Arkansas, and it's growth and progress have been great, and 1t IS now In better shape than ever to do the work cut out for it. It is supposed this will be one of the most representative meetingsthat has ever been held in the state by any organization of farmers, and this will give added importance to the discussion of the credit system, the question of the elimination of mortgages and the diversi6cation of crops.
 Officers for the ensuing year and delegates to the national con vention. which meets in Texarkana September }, will be elected at the meeting.

TWO KILLED IN FREIGHT WRECK
Conductor and Brakeman Meet Death in Accident on White
 River Line Wednesday

Carl Dunlap, conductor, and Fred Ogle, rear brakeman, on the red ball (freight) No. 254, were killed in a wreck on the White River route at bridge No. IS near Cricket about 1 o'clock Wednes- day. The train was going at a speed of ten miles an hour at the time of the accident. The ca boese left the track when in the middle of the bridge, turned over and fell 70 feet to the ground. No other cars left the rails. Conduc- tor Dunlap and Brakeman Ogle were the only occupants of the caboose, and were the only persons injured.
 The caboose was demolished and Ogle was taken from the wreck dead, having been instantly killed. Dunlap lived about two hours af- ter the accident.
 No reason can be assigned for the wreck. The track was in ap- parently good condition after the wreck. The bridge was slightly damaged, requiring about two hours to repair and put in condi- tion for train service.

ROBBERS FIRE pOsToFFIcE

Perry, Ark, July 30-At S:30 o'clock last night the postoffice building was discovered to be on fire. The fire spread to adjoining property and besides the postof- flee building three store houses were destroyed before the flames were brought under control.
 It developed later that the post office had been entered and the safe robbed of S97 in money and stamps. and the theory is that the robbers accidentally fired the post office by dropping a lighted match or else set fire to the place with the intention of covering up the robbery. The total loss is estimat ed at S4. GOO.

they certainly are fine here. Corn is already made and will average from 90 to 65 bushels per acre. Cotton is from waist to shoulder high and has enough form on 1t now for three quarters of bale to the acre. We are having most too much rain for cotton, but if August is a dry month there will be more cotton made than the farmers can gather, and there will be a great demand for pickers this fall. We would like to have some of the good old Arkansas boys come out here and help gath CT cotton this fall.
 I am afraid next year will be q hard year with us, because there are too many weddings taking place. There have been five in three weeks. but there are lots of pretty girls left yet.
 Success to The Journal and it's many readers.

MEETING OF COUNTY CANDIDATES
Democratic Nominees Meet at BatesviIle and Decide to
 = Have no Joint Canvass

In obedience to previous call, the nominees for the various off, ces in Independence county, met In the city of Batesville, July 2S, 1906, when the following proceed ings were had to wit:
 Cul. l.. Pearce and $. B. Wy cough were unanimously elected chairman and secretary, respec- lively, and the organization was made permanent. All the nomi- nees were present except the sur veyor and the coroner.
 Judge $. A. Hail was introduc- ed and made strong plea in be- half of a large vote and a joint canvass of the entire county by the nominees of the various par ties.
 It was moved by $. A. Moore and seconded by w. NJ. Thomp- son that Judge 5. A. Hail, Chair man of the County Central Com mittee, and Hon. Jno. A. Hinkle be enrolled as members of this or. ganization.
 It was ordered by the conven- tlon that we recommend to the chairman of the Central commit tee. that he order mass meetings in each and every township for the purpose of nominating candi- dates for the township offices, and road overseers, wherever such nominations have not been prev iously made.
 The following resolution was offered by Albert Sims, which was unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, The time has arrived fol action upon the part of the nominees of the different parties as to the manner in which they will conduct their county campaign before the approaching Septem- Der election: and we believe 1t will not be advisable for the Democrats and Republicans to attempt joint canvass of the county at this sea- son of the year, because we be- lieve that, in many instances, our appointments would conflict with picnics, protracted services and various other gatherings through out the country, and in such in- stances and at other times. we would have small audiences; and further, We. believe that 1t is not the will and wishes of the people at large for the two parties to con- duct a long drawn and tedious canvass when so little interest Is manifested therein, therefore be it
 Resolved, by the Democratic nominees of Independence county, that we are not in favor of joint canvass unless the Republicans take the field and challenge us to meet them, but we are in favor of the candidates for Representative making dates for joint discussion at any and all places where they are invited by the people. Be it further,
 Resolved, that we are in favor of the County Central Commi.te arranging several dates in the county for prominent speakers from other parts of the state, and through its chairman issue a call for all Democrats throughout the county to turn out on the 3rd day of September, and urge them to aid and support the entire ticket from governor down to and includ- ing the township officers and road overseers; and that it shall be the duty and obligation of each and every nominee to attend the var ious political gatherings and do

ARKANSAS OUTGROWS OKLAH Okk
Three Times as rIuch Land Sold to t10meseekerS as in Okiaho~
 ma and Indian Territory

According to statement just issued from the headquarters of the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island Frisco Immigration Bu- reaus at St. Louis, the land pur- chased in the Southwest from May 1905 to May 1906, and settled up- on by the farmer and fruit grow CT from the North and East would make territory greater than the states of Rhode Island and Dela- ware combined.
 The investment in Missouri, Ar kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado made through these Bureaus of Immigration and by them recorded in this one year amounts to nearly $50, 1000, ,000. This takes no account of the thous- ands who went on the homeseek- CTS excursions and made purchas- es, of which the immigration men had no information. The total figures probably double the trans actions recorded by the railroads
 The railroad officials kept a rec ord of the number of homeseek- CTS carried and when land was sold them by members of the immigra-- tion bureaus the number of acres and the price paid for the land was also recorded. In this way the railroads have been able to keep up with the settlement and devel- opment of the country, and from these records the following table was compiled, showing the num- Der of acres sold in each state and the amount invested.
 Acres Investment Missouri. 467,7 ,772 S6, ,742, ,501 Kansas =. 47S,1 5,79O,7S6 Oklahoma and
 Ind. Ter. :. 19s, ,215 1,796, 952 Arkansas. :. 620, ,66S 6,060, ls0 Texas. 1 ,503,7 ,70S 7,40s, ,969
 From these figures it will be seen that Arkansas is outgrowing Oklahoma and the Indian Terri tory, despite the supposed boom in those territories, nearly four times as many acres having been sold to homeseekers in this state as in both the territories. The land Tn Arkansas sold at an aver age of nearly S10.00 an acre.
 However, in all sections of the Southwest the rapid development of the country by the Fastener who knows the value of an acre and farms by the intensified meth ods which the high prices of land in the East forced him to adopt indicates that the wealth Of tho most fertile region in the world has just begun to grow.
 Arkansas has room for many more of the good sturdy farmers of the North and East and gladly welcomes them within her bor- ders.

alas, but here again the limitations
arise, and the more helpless they are
in the crises the harder for all con-
cerned.
It is Mrs. Alden's "firm belief that
every woman not an invalid can earn
her own living if she really wants to do
So Perhaps, to make it clear that I
am not dreaming things, the personal
note ought to be admitted here. With
out vanity and without shame, the writ
er can say that she has probably earn
ed money at more various occupations
than almost any other woman in Amer
ica
She has made living cooking for
sixteen farm hands on a Western
ranch, teaching borderland school,
singing in church and concert, as
"matron'' in great tent factory, as
superintendent in a metropolitan candy
factory, as inspectress in the New
York custom house, as secretary in
the street cleaning department, as a
busy reporter with notebook and cam
era, as editor on a daily newspaper"
Those who work with her know her as.
a woman of the sweetest personality,
strong and tender, as simple as child,
as pure as one of the least of these

How to Paint Your
House Cheap
And Have it Look Better, Stay Bright
er and Wear Longer Than Any
Other Paint Made
TRY 1T FREE OF COST

Mr.. A. L. Rice, prominent manu-
facturer of Adams, N. Y, has solved
the paint problem for us all by new
process he has perfected that reduces
the cost of painting one-half This
process makes an oil paint which will
wear twice as long as any other paint
made, and stay fresh and bright for
many years after the ordinary mixed
paint has faded and peeled. 1t spreads
easier, goes farther, and is backed up
by guarantee to wear for eight years.
The genuine superiority of Double
wear Paint can best be appreciated
after trial, and Mr. Rice has so much
confidence in the merit of his product
that he will send a liberal sample, to-
gether with color card, free to any
person intending to paint.

Little Sermons.

Those who walk in a solitary way
akin to that of the little brook, wind
ing in and out of the busy paths the
human crowds tread, feeling a part of
them, yet as surely atoms of the human
overflow, as the little brooks are Of
natures courses, reflect philosophical
ly upon the rush, the hustle, the crowd
ing of the human out hills. Those Of
the little unknoWns, those of the great,
bearing names of honor every one
"A1l,'' they say, must meet their lirni-
tations be theirs the narrow way an
undercurrent merely or Of the great
sweeping flood which rules their fell
lows destinies.'
Our limitations! Does the path be-
fore open broad, its course free, it's
goal in sight? Behold an unexpected
and apparently unsurmountable OBJ
stac1e appears!
Does the sky seem 1indimmed? A
tiny cloud no bigger than a mans hand
arises and tempests follow to sweep
all before them. Does the physical
man seem equal to any emergency in
it's strength? A sudden complication
arises in it's machinery
Does the moral nature seem firm
enough to endure all things because it
hopes SO much?
Temptations crowd, the whole world
is suddenly presented to Our grasp
would we but snatch at it, the soul
seems of little account could we but
gain it.
Ten thousand foes arise where we
feared but few easy to vanqulsh. Then,
oh, then, must we prove of what stern
stuff we are made; shall Satan in his
peculiar pleasing guiles and guises
overcome us? or obey Our stern COM
mand, get thee behind me. Well for us
then to find.

GENERAL SUNSHINE.

Our word on this subject today COM
prises quotations from Our president
generals wise hints as to helping wo-
men and young girls to help them
Selves to find what they can do in this
wide world Our own word to our
yound women would be, whether it is
necessary or not, find some work to do;
girls are self-conscious, but let them
direct it in right channels. Find your
one talent, or if it be two, that one
which is the most absorbing Make
yourself perfect as far as possible, but
do not fear to work
Let no false pride hinder one from
doing what she can and doing it thor
ough1y Listen to Mrs. Alden, than
whom is no sweeter, stronger woman
living -"The women whom [ would
like to reach and help are those who
need to work for money, who are will
ling to work honestly, but who do not
know what they can do. Some of them
are highly educated, others are not
educated at all. Some of them are
blessed with good health, others are
sadly frail, but to all the world says,
Earn your own living And to the
timorous question, 'How?' it main
tains a dignifed but cruel silence"
The idea exists that women are to
be cared for, to be tenderly treated,
to be secured from the worlds work
and worry. Possibly one in a hundred
may be SO encased in glass, but would
it not be much like the shrive1ed body
of Carlos Boeromes, in it's crystal cask-
e. covered and surrounded by rare
gems which are there of no earthly
use? Women should be enshrined in
the hearts of all mankind for their
purity, their sweetness, their power
