Women Establish Library.

By making and selling cakes and pies, sewing, selling cigars, and even by carrying notes from young men to the popular young ladies of their town, the philosophical women of Dumas, all members of the Dumas Library Club, have raised more than $1,000 for the establishment of a pub lie library in this enterprising little town. These women have even gone so far as to plant, blow and pick cotton on an acre of ground which one of the interested citizens donated to the club. They hope to make bale of cotton on this acre of ground, and as 1t will most likely be ginned without cost to them, they will realize sub stantial sum to add to their fast-grow- ing fund.

Boil WeeviI Must Be Fought.

J. J. Moore, of Texarkana, agent for the agricultural department at Wash ington, states that the extermination of the boil weeyil is out of the ques tion, that the pest had arrived in Ar kansas and had come to stay, but that it is possible, under proper manage ment to raise cotton in spite of the weevil. The methods for combating the weevil suggested by the depart ment is early planting, and the de. struction of the cotton stalks as soon as the cotton is gathered. as the greatest progress in spreading is made in the fall, after the frost has killed the foliage on the cotton, and the weevils begin hunting other green plants upon which to subsist. The turning under of all vegetation is also suggested after the crops are gath cred, as this not only has a tendency to destroy the weevil, but builds up the soil as well. Another great hindrance to the progress of the weevil is rotation of crops.

Will Build New Railroa ad.

The Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas Railway has filed it's charter with the secretary of state. The company is capitalized at s150,0O0, divided into shares of s100 each, and the stock holders are residents of Sebastian county. where the railroad will be operated. The line will be seven miles long, and will run from point near Montreal, Sebastian county, thence south to a connection with the tracks Of the Choctaw division of the Chica- go, Rock Island and Pacific Railway. The new road, while traversing but a short stretch of territory, will open up valuable coal field, which had not been developed owing to the transportation facilities being limited.

Arkansas Rice Crop.

The rice fields in the vicinity of Lonoke are reported to be looking fine and prospects excellent for large crops, one man expecting to harvest 5000 bushels from a 90-acre field. For this he will get in the neighbor- hood of s1 per bushel. A rice huller is now in process of erection at Stutt- gart and it is expected it will be ready for business this season. The estab- lishment of the huller in this State is calculated to lower the price of hulled rice, which is now ' 1-2 cents per pound.

Increase Efficiency of Schools.

Circular letters have been sent out by Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Doyne to the county examiners asking them for closer cooperation with the state office in educational affairs. Superintendent Doyne par ticularly desires the assistance of the school directors in the furtherance of school work. The letter follows: The year closing June 30, 1907, marked progress in the work and worth of the public schools of our state, and I feel that the interest you have taken in the educational affairs of your county has been, in large measure, instrumental in bringing about this improvement. There is much, however, that may yet be done, and it is the desire of this department to aid you in doing yet greater things for the benefit of the children of our commonwealth. The school directors have not yet been fully enlisted, and, in many instances, are not alive to the importance of the trust committed to them. In a few counties efforts rectors and have them meet at stated times for the discussion of matters pertaining to their office. Why not do this in your county, if it has not been done? l would like to send out a circular letter to the school direct ors of the state, calling their attention to this and other important matters, provided 1 can have your cooperation. Should the circular be prepared, will you endeavor to place one in the hands of each director in your county, preparatory to effecting an organiza. tion later on? I will be glad to hear from you, with suggestions at your earliest convenience"

Oppose Social Equality.

A report from Marvell, Phillips named c. H. Weis was given a severe whipping and forced to leave the town between suns. It is said that Weis boasted that he was no better than a negro, and went so far as to attend a negro church and kneel at the mourner's bench during a religious meeting. It is alleged that the white people of Marvell repeatedly warned Weis that his conduct was not pleas ing to them, but he persisted in his practice of social equality, becoming so bold in his actions that the citi- xens took drastic measures in order to show him the error of his ways.

Timber Industry Remunerative.

The timber industry in Franklin county in the vicinity of Ozark is growing every year. During the past eighteen months tapping the vast forests north of that town has resulted in the distribution of at least S5,O00 per month to its citizens. Most of the timber sold is white and post oak. used for bridge piling. The logs bring from $40 to $6 each. The largest log marketed this year at Ozark was 5 feet in length.

Crops Will Be Short.

According to the monthly crop report of the State by counties, issued by Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, the cotton and corn crop Of this year will be anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent under that of last year in the various counties of the State. Phil lips, Randolph and St. Francis coun- ties report that their crops of cotton will be equal to the crops of last year. The recent rains have been of great benefit to the corn in many of the counties.

president of the State Fair Association
for Delta county. Mr. Dale says he
proposes to see that we have the finest

the best he can do. He says he will
collect the best exhibit ever shown at
the state fair from any county if he
can by appeal or threat get it together.
He proposes that we outrank all COM
petitors and the INDEPENDENT heartily
seconds the motion. Now. let every
farmer and fruit grower say to them.
selves that they will help Mr.. Dale in
every way possible. Keep an eye on

Recognition Of Faithful Service.

The INDEPENDENT was at fault in not
publishing the following resolution last
week. We did not make detailed re-
port of the last Business Mems meet
ing, and chis resolution, unanimously
adopted at that session, was in this
way overlooked. The resolution was
as follows:
Resolved, by the Delta Business
Mems Association at its regular meet
ing held in Delta, Colorado, June 8,
1907, that in recognition of the faithful,
competent and painstaking services of
Mr.. John J. Travis as secretary-which
have been freely given until the work
of the Association grew to demand the
full time of its secretary-we extend to
Mr.. Travis an unanimous vote of thanks
for his services, with the assurance that
the Association fully appreciates the
sacrifice of personal time he has SO
generously given. and the excellent
manner in which he has fulfilled every
duty of the trust reposed in him; be it
further
Resolved, that this resolution be made
a permanent part of the record of the
Delta Business Mems Association, and
that it be published in the Delta Labor
er and Delta INDEPENDENT.

Cattle Market Depends on Hogs.

The Colorado Agricultural College
would urge all cattle growers of the
state to raise hogs and to induce their
neighbor farmers who are not cattle
growers, to make hog raising a promi.
nent feature of their work, in order to
secure a good market for the cattle.
There are few lines of farming in
Colorado that pay as well for capital
invested. and for labor required, as
raising and fattening hogs, and the
business gives quick returns. Less
than one and one-half per cent. of the
hogs needed by the Denver market
alone are fattened in Colorado, while
only small portion of the cattle raised
in the state can be handled by our
packing houses. If Colorado farmers
full demand of our market 200, 900
head month through the Year,. then
our packing houses would need for
slaughter all the cattle that Colorado
could raise and fatten.
The hog is the market builder of the
meat trade, as well as the money maker
for the farmer. Pork Is the foundation
upon which q packing center il built.
The fresh meat trade Is profitable, but
the trade is limited, the permanent
footing of the packing house industry
and it's expansion depending upon the
amount of pork that can be secured for
an all year business.
The sailing. curing and smoking of
the meat and the rendering, packing
and disposing of the lard and Of other
pork products gives regular employ
ment to packing -house forces.
Colorado for years has been one of
the most important states in raising
cattle for feeders in the corn belt to
fatten. We have the feed to fatten
every beef animal grown in the state,
and our feed will produce flavor in
beef as much superior to that from
corn feeding as Colorado fed mutton
ranks above that from all other sources.
Every Colorado stockman knows how
advantageous 1t would be to have all
our cattle fed, fattened and slaughtered
within the state, with q great packing
center developed at home.
Let the cattle growers raise the hogs
needed to supply in full the demands Of
our home packing centers. for in 80 do
ing they will also provide good market
| within the state for all the cattle they
can put on the market.

Grand junction has decided to
wait no longer on the state of
Colorado to establish an educa-

Slope, and will proceed to have a
school of it's own, in the way of
a university, to be built by home
capital. The announcement is
welcome news if carried to full

to have the exclusive privilege
of feeding at the public crib let
us build institutions of our own
and stand loyalty by them. Every
town in this part of the state

The confession of Harry Or

lips Of a human being. How any
man with a soul could become so
hardened to crime as this man
must have been, will never be

story remains practically intact
under the fierce onslaught of a

The Fair, one of the largest
department stores of Chicago,
has paid one Chicago newspaper
the sum of $117. .777.64 for one
years advertising. That is an
immense sum of money to be ex-
pended in this direction, but it
has built up an immense business
and the Fair will continue it's ex-
penditures in this direction. Ad-
vertising in this day and age,
especially newspaper advertising,
is just as necessary to the con-
Quoting of a successful business
as having the stock of goods to

glad to know of his good fortune
in a raise of salary, from 81, 800

essary to do this in order to hold
him, as he had flattering offers
from other places. Prof. Olin is
a man of wonderful energy. He
is always doing something; he is
busy as a bee from early morn

always go higher.
