ADVANTAGE 4 WIDOW HAS
Al Least They Don't Have to Sit and
 Watch Husbands Fifrt.

I saw such pretty woman at disadvantage the other night the l;. tie real widow was saving. She was married She was sitting at table with some other pretty women and handsome men and her husband. Her husband began to firt outrageously with cae of the women. wish you could have seen the look that came over her face. Everybody in the room Saw how distressed she was. 4
 Now. what l want to know is tEs. Why didn't she go to work and firt with one of the handsome men to get even? Anyone of them was quite ready and willing. but, no, wives never seem to be able to do that. They just sit ready to cry, with everybody no- ticing
 That's the advantage we real wid. oWs have over wives We don't have to sit and watch our husbands flirting with other women We know where they are, and We also know that what. ever they may chance to be doing, they are probably not flirting"

Mrs. Green went 10 the well 10 wash some vegetables. and in some manner fell into the well When she struck the water % feet below she grasped a projecting rock in the earbing and clung 10 il. being encouraged to do so by neighbors who went to her assist ance The bucket was al the bottom of the well. but the rope was not of sufficient strength to bear the weight Of the woman. Her reseuers procured some trace chains. fastened them to- getheT and, attaching one end to a nail keg. lowered it into the well .Irs. Green stood in the kee and held to the chain and was hoisted to the surface in safety.

 As the years go by We are more than ever brought lace Co face with the vital question Of trading at home. During the past decade the habit of buying goods abroad has grown to such proportions that the country merchant may well feel alarmed al the probable outcome unless something is done 10 forestall the great calamity which will surely result therefrom.
 Trade conditions % years ago were satisfactory. At that time catalogue houses were entirely unknown and country merchants were "monarchs Of all they surveyed" so 10 speak. in the lines represented, and the people were prosperous and happy Perhaps not so much because they generally had money enough to meet their wants. but because of the contentment that prevailed throughout the country at that time The farmers raised good crops, generally and received good prices for what they had to sell They sold their surplus stuff to the local merchant and bought what they wanted; and this was the height of

Asks st,ooo, 900 of Alleged Trust.

Antitrust suits were filed recently in Pulaski county Circuit Court by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton against the Smith Premier Typewriter Com pany and the Remington Typewriter Company. Both companies are New York corporations, maintaining agen- cies in Arkansas. The companies are alleged to have been in a pool or trust controlled by the Unicn Type writer Company Of New Jersey. Each company is sued for s1,o00,000. It is alleged the companies were engaged in business in Arkansas on March 25, 1905, and each succeeding day to the date of the suit. except Sundays. It is claimed the Union Typewriter Com- pany fixed the price at which the companies were to sell typewriteTs and supplies, and also the price the companies were to pay for old ma chimes in exchange for new ones. It is claimed the companies reported each day to the Union Typewriter Company and shared in the distribu- tion of the profits. These alleged acts are declared to be in violation of the Arkansas antitrust act.

|. hence the contentment

their ambition. hence the contentment that prevailed
 But in after years. when cities grew and trade expanded. the mer- chants of these cities not being con tent with conditions of trade devised plans by which they might reach out for more business. Advertising iii the newspapers being a cheap way of putting the merits Of their goods be fore the people, this plan appealed to them and 1t was adopted At first they operated on a small scale; then as the merchant saw the opportunity for making it pay. he added to his adver- Using fund. And so it has continued until today millions of dollars are annually sent to mail order houses by the people of the United States.
 The best and most effective way to throttle the catalogue house has been a question uppermost in the minds of country merchants for several years past; some advocating one plan and some another. There are several plans which might be presented to induce
 
 first place his pride might be appealed to. There are very few farmers who own their own farms but that would be interested in building up his own locality. He realizes the fact that if his farm is to be valuable it must be farmed in the most scientific manner and all buildings. fences. etc. must be knn In he ha- fa.ss and above all the farm must be lo- eated not too far from some good town. for we all know that farm land brings a much better price when near to some good town or village IL is not hard to get the farmer to realize this. for if he ever sold any farm land or tried to sell any he knows this to be fact Well. then. after he has realized this fact. the thing for him 10 do is to patronize his home mer- chants and business men. so they may be able 10 build and maintain | good town.
 Public schools are much better in the towns than in the country for the reason that where the population is most dense. there is more taxable property to the amount of territory covered. hence there is more money collected for school purposes. and as result more and better teachers are employed. All this Is of the highest importance 10 the farmer, as most farmers who are Of any importance in their profession are interested in giv- i7s their boys and girls a good eduea.

CTS of all the cotton raising eoun- ties Of the state. asking for a compar- ison of the acreage and prospects of the cotton crop this year compared to that of 1906. has received a large number of replies. from which the department has estimated that the cotton acreage this year will be about 70 per cent of that of last year. and that most of the cotton will have to be replanted. This estimate how ever. was made without regard to the storms of the past few days. and upon the assumption that the cold and wet weather was ended for a time at least.

Great Increase In Rice,

The report of the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture for the years 1905-06, which has recently been issued, shows wonderful growth in the rice-raising industry in this state during the past few years. Rice grow ing is at present carried on in Lon oke. Prairie, Arkansas, Lee and St. Francis counties, while in 1905 there were only 40 acres ill the state that were devoted to the raising of this crop. The acreage last year was 4 240 and from present indications prom ises to be greatly increased this year
 Rice will be raised in Ashley, Jeffer- son and Poinsett counties this year as well as in the counties mentioned in the foregoing According to the table of production given in this re
 port the total amount received for the rice crop in 1905 was st1.34d and in 1906 was s1111724. This increase in the value of the rice crop was mere marked than that of any other asFi

This will nearly always act as 1 clincher and will at least put him on a standing with the catalogue house. In fact it will give him an ad- vantage over the catalogue house. for in almost every case he can sell the same grade of merchandise cheaper l than the catalogue house can sell 1t. | This is not mere theory but . state | ment of fact. for the reason that the country merchants business is oper. ated at very much less expense than that of the mail order merchant. There are a thousand and one items of expense which the city merchant has to meet that are entirely unknown to the country merchant.
 The time is rapidly approaching when people who patronize mail order houses Will be looked upon as soon. CTS by the solid and influential clti- zens of all commonwealths and will suffer ostracism at their hands.
 Cities and towns are built by com. bined efforts of the residents thereof; not by foreign capital. So too are our churches and schoolhouses built. It may be true that in many instances eastern capital has been employed to make improvements in the west. but always with good round interest to the lender of the money. No one ever heard of case where an eastern man CT firm contributed to western enter prise for the fun of the thing. Nor did you ever hear of a case where any mail order or catalogue house ever contributed to any church building fund, Nor yet did they ever build or help to build any of our schoolhouses You never heard of case of this kind and you never Will. All these eastern sharks care for is your dollar. and you know it, and whe they have got ten that they have no more use for you. Then why should you patronize them? You can go to your home mer. chant any day in the year and if YOU are short of change, he will extend you credit. If you are sick and un- able 10 work the home merchant will see that your family is provisioned until you get on your feet again. He will do all of this and at the same time furnish the same grade of goods at the same or even aI less price. Will the catalogue merchant do this7
