with business.
 q can sight you to a farmer 1 out here who works and culti- yates his farm right. He has plenty all the year round. He has some money loaned out. l dare say he gets far more com : fort and satisfaction out of living, than does his neighbor who has plenty of idle time 10 hunt and lay around town, when he ought to be in the field doing some sort of work.
 "Work is the recreation that hundreds of our farmers need, and it should be pleasure for men to work. No farmer is a success who does not find real enjoyment in pursuit of his daily avocations. 1 do not mean that a man must be a slave to hard labor. He should use moderation the same as any other class. The farmer who is in- dustrious can soon apply im- proved machinery in his work until there need not be much greater physical exertion in his ordinary daily labor than is re- quired in merely driving along the road.

SAPPING VITALITY
Is What Foreign Flour is Doing for This Community
COST sIOO,OOO IN 6 YEARS
Country Should Produce Its
 Own Supply of Wheat

It ought to be extremely re. freshing to all the people, who have the vital good of this country at heart, 10 learn if they do not already know, that the Green Forest product of flour is the best on the market. This, too, notwithstanding that the blooming Kansas brands are about as plentiful as ever.
 When the people of this country established the habit of buying foreign brands of flour five or six years ago, they made a mistake that has already cost Green Forest and surrounding country figures that will approxi- mate close to S100,000 and "great gobs" of the country's vitality are still being sapped away by this monster. A less prosperous people would have already be- come bankrupt by such dealing.
 A community is nothing more nor less than one great family, and it is just as necessary for that community to practice economy in the matter of buying as it is for the mothers and fathers in your homes. No farmer can catch anything ahead who has to be continually buying products that he ought to raise on his farm.
 Of course, there is demand for Kansas flour or it would not find a market here. That is the vital point. If the country is not producing sufficient wheat to supply the demands it should be made to do so. The fact that it had done so for time immemorial up to the drought of 1901, when the disease was caught by &C., cident, is sufficient argument on that point. Previous to 1901 a Kansas sack of flour was as much of a stranger in Green Forest as would be republican majority in Arkansas.

some of the farms in this country. The place would at least be true to name, and there are many worse places in the world that people might live than on an Arkansas hill side. There may be two rocks to one dirt on the place, and all that, but it is a cinch that there is an abundance, of pure air and good water, and that no malarial germs are turk ing thereabout. If fruit trees have been planted they produce ar annual yield even if permitted to grow wild. No one has ever yet starved to death on Arkansas hillsides.
 But that is not what we started in to say.
 Name your farm some senti- mental, attractive or appropriate name and then make the place worthy of that name. Have 8 neat little sign board out by the road giving the name of the place, and the owner also, if you care to do so. Have you some letter heads printed with your farm name and R. F. D. number, if located on route. You may not write much, but this letter head will serve a simular purpose to what a good suit does when you go out in company. It gives you a good appearance.
 The Tribune hopes to see all the farms in this country named, and in order to stimulate the matter, we are going to offer to furnish free name for each farm in the county where the owner pays a years subscription in advance between now and January 1, 1908. First comes first served.

ent is so great that the home de- mand cannot be supplied by home products, let us have the mills do the shipping in the form of wheat. It would at least give employ ment to the mills that now are forced to stand idle large por- ton of their time. The brands would then bear the mark of home industry, and people with deep sense of home pride would not have to suffer humiliation every time they pass grocery store by being reminded of the fact that we are so poor that we have to look to Kansas for our bread.
 There is no danger of a mo- noply being formed by cutting out Kansas flour. There are Berryville and Harrison both stiff competors of Green Forest in the matter of the manufacture and sale of flour; and be it said to the everlasting credit of those towns, but very little Kansas flour finds it's way to their mer- chants. Those sections still pro- duce wheat and if we have to buy, it would be far better to buy from our close neighbors, even if we should have to pay little more. The money might get back here from Berryville or Harrison but from Kansas never

NEED MORE PUSH

 Country SlOw-going Habit
WORK RECREATION NEEDED
LabOrHere is Not Accomplish

''I like your style of booming things" said prominent citizen of the town, as he collared us on the street. 'sThings are moving in the right direction in this country, and why not push a little instead of riding on the tide all the time? The proper amount of push judiciously administered will make this country place that will be little less than a paradise.
 "Of course, things will have to go different to what they are now," added Mr. Blank. "We will have to have a citizenship made up of class, but few of which we have at the present time. Some of the knockers will have to be given a right. about face, and the slow-goers will have to take a pace that will Timber up their join ts, so they can do something. Do you know this country is not working now up to one-half it's capacity in the matter of labor?

A great many will set down and wait for next season to open, so to speak. Business should be kept rushing on the farms all the year through, just as things are rush. ing today at that canning factory. It is just as important to get things in shape on the farm to raise something as it is to market the products when they have ripened. It takes the industrious farmer twelve months in the year to keep up his farm work.

Jerry Brammer, who was one of the parties who brought the drove of cattle here some weeks ago, which was found to be in- fected with fever ticks, objects to the statement that they were "southern cattle" He says they were purchased in Boone county and were native cattle, but they had caught the ticks from cattle no doubt that had been brought from the south. Their condition was not known until the cattle were subjected to inspection here.

BY READING THE TRIBUNE
Letters to the Editor from
 Several Different States

In recent personal correspon- dence of the editor The Tribune has heard from several old timers in others parts of the country and other people and we believe a few notes or extracts from these letters will be of interest to Tribune readers in general:
 Cuthbert Callen, a former Carroll county boy, sends us S2.00 from Las Vegas, N. M, where he is holding a lucrative position in tho Santa Fe railroad office.
 Charles Agard, a former res- ident of this county and well known here, sends us wheel on subscription and admonishes us to keep The Tribune going. He said it is like the proverbial letter from home. Mr. Agard is in railroad service on the D. & R. c. at Swallows, Colo.
 Alfred Alfred, former resident of Liberty township, renews his subscription and wishes the Trib- une success, from Conway, I. T., where he is engaged in farming.
 Perry Emmett, a Green Forest boy, writes from his new home at Vernon, Tex, and says he is doing we'll in his new location.
 Mrs. Myra A. Smith, of Den- yer, Colo, former resident of Green Forest, renews for The Tribune year. She says Roy, the little boy, has severe siege of mountain fever. Cleo, she says, is in Lincoln, Neb., can vassing to raise funds to pay his way to school he desires to at- tend in Iowa.

NAME YOUR FARM
Suggestion as to How Farm. CTS May Be Up-tO-date
MISSOURPS HANDSOME LAW
To Protect Legally Adopted Names of Country Homes

If you own a farm and want to be really fashionable, you will have to give the place an in- dividual name. There are quite few farms in this country that have already been christened, but it can hardly be said that the practice of naming farms has be- come general.
 There is a world of sentiment in having an appropriate name for the old homestead, by which it may be known and referred to in after years by the boys and girls of o-day.
 Up in Missouri they have been legislating on the subject of naming farm homes and hand some law has been passed regu- lating the matter, which pro- tects the rights of the individual who wishes to have his home known by name. The county clerk keeps a record of the names of farms in a similar manner to that employed in our own county in keeping records of stock marks and brands. When a person desires to name his farm he applies to the clerk and the records are examined to see if the name suggested is the same as that chosen by any one else. yTf not it is made matter of re- cord, and the owner all the same as has 8 patent on that name.
 A name for a country home works we'll in many ways. It is very convenient to have your home referred to as "Maple- wood" "Walnut Grove," "Clo- verdale," "Elberta Fruit Farm" " or some other such name on a certain road or mail route. It would be exceedingly Dice where practicable to let the name be in keeping with the surroundings. For instance, the name Hillside Home: or "Hillside Farm" would not be bad name for
