a probable.increase of oats flax and
corn of about 10 per cent and the flax
acreage will likely be increased about
20 per cent. South Dakota's crop for
1906 was the largest ever raised in the
state; with ample moisture, favorable
spring weather with lake beds, ravines
and small streams full of water an
increased acreage to small grain is
anticipated; in any event the acreage
will be equal to that Of last season

The State Fair

The Second Annual Arkansas State Fair will be held at Oak lawn Park, Hot Spring, October 3 to r, inclusive. The first State Fair last year demonstrat- ed the great possibilities of this Annual Exposition of Arkansas products, while the first fair was a success, much that was left to hope for last year will be realized this year
 The Annual Fair at OakIawn has been fully recognized as the State Fair. The Legislature has endorsed it as such, every state department will be represented at the fair and most of the i'm portant state interests are now cooperating with the Fair Asso- citation.
 Splendid daily programs are well under way. Each day will be specially featured and every night will be made brilliant with a series of gigantic outdoor fea- ture acts.
 Arrangements have been effect ed to almost double the amount of exposition space and to en- nance the value of the product exhibits of every class.
 The premium list is nearly completed and ready for distri- button and all those who send in their request for the new prem ium list will 4'eceieye them by mali as soon as they are c0mplet ed. The premium list for this year has been arranged and more fully adapted to the needs and products of Arkansas and the amount of premium none ' has been almost doubled.

The Independent is two years old to-day and we have had charge of 1t one year We do not claim it the best papes in Eastern Arkansas, but we prefer to leave the verdict toouT readers, who ought to be the judges since they pay for 1t and have the right to judge. We wiz say however that our list of subscribers is growing lager-a good indication and if We can make f grow more yet by putting hard work into the business we intend to do so, We appreciate the kind words spoken about our little paper by many of our readers and win try harder to merit their approval.

 If you owe Us fo1 the paper pay ID and give us a boost Tell your neighbors obout us and when We can afford to buy a new press We will promise to give you as good paper as any in this part of the state-none barred.

A tramp has beaten al know

A tramp has beaten a@l known records by swimming twenty seven miles in thirty minutes. He did net mean to do 1t. He merely tried to steal ride from St, Louis 70 Chicagoon the rear of a locomotive tender, When the train started he fell over backward, through the open man hole, into the water-tank. The noise Of the train drounded his cries for help. and he was obliged to swim until the first stop was reached, al Alton When taken out he was nearly dead, but the engineer was so unfeeling as to call his attention to the fact that the water was crly four feet deep, and he might have stood up. The conductor. also unfeel- ing, asked him fer hls ticket, but the tramp said he had rot come by rail, but ny water

The United States Supreme Court has decided the long pend ing suit of the State of Kansas : against the State of Colorado, ii which an injunction was asked against the State of Colorado from diverting the waters e the Arkansas River for irrigation purposes or permitting it's citizens to GO so. The claim of Kansas was that the irrigation ditches in Colorado had caused such diminution in the water of the river as to make l'le cnce navigable river practically dry. to diminush the power cf nanu- featuring purposes, and cut off the supply for irrigation in west ern Kansas The claim of Colo rado was that it had fnll power over the river in that state. The court dismissed the case on the ground that no substantial injury had been shown; at the same time, the court held that 1t had Jurisdiction to compel division of the waters in case of futher dispute.

The very best towns are thos C in which the business men are on good terms with each other. when one man can't sell an article he should recommend the GUS tomer to his neighbor in the hope that he can make the sale That keeps the money in the town and by and by the man who misses the first sale will get some cf it through another channel.

A Chicken For Him.

Once apon time youth who had commenced to navigate the sea of mat rimony went to his father and said:
 ''Father, who should be boss-I or my wife?"
 Then the old man smiled and said:
 "Here are 100 chickens and team of horses. Hitch up the horses, load the chickens into the wagon and wher- ever you can find q man and his wife dwelling stop and make inquiry as to who is the boss. Wherever you find a woman running things leave chick en. If you come to a place where the man is in control, give him one of the horses.' After seventy-nine chickens had been disposed of. says the San Francisco Chronicle, he came to house and made the usual inquiry.
 "I'm the boss O this ranch" said the man. "Got to show me-"
 So the wife was called, and she af- frmed her husbands assertion. '"Take whichever horse you want" was the boys reply. So the husband replied, "I'll take the bay"
 But the wife didn't like the bay horse, and she called her husband aside and talked to him. He returned and said, 'I believe I'll take the gray horse"
 'Not much" said Missouri You'll take a chicken"
