Mark Twain tells this story. the
moral OF which you may supply your
self: Il went to church one time and
was SO impressed by what the preach.
er told me about the poor heather
that I was ready to give up q hundred
dollars OF my own money and even 60
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But tie minister preached
too long. and my enthusiasm began to
drop about 125 a drop till thc,e was
nothing left for the poor heather. and

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.

Mr.. w. II. Rogers, Canadian Govern.
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at u place In July
I promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember II was all sown to wheat.
Well. I finished threshing yesterday
and received from II an average Of
43N bushels per a%cre-testing G4h
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample I have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know II was a good sample when
I tell you that I have already sold 1000
bushels of IL for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
II you remember I pointed out to
you a half section lying just west Of
u house and joining my upper quar-.
ter on the south, which l said ] should
have in order to make one OF the best
farms in western Canada. I am very
glad to be able to tell you that I now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. II some
Of those good. honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seer Il in
great piles In my gr~anaries, I feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm.
ing country in the world than this. I
may just say that | have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
n hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year / proved to
my %neighbor that the HoOsiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was AN bushels per acre,
SO you see "old Indiana" Is holding the
cibbOn this year.
Yours very truly,

In July OF this year a little boy

NO FLOOD WILL OCCUR.
Arkansas River Is Falling and Sec. ton Director Gives Out En-
 colraginy Reports.

Planters and other residents of the territory adjacent to the Ar kansas river south of Pine Bluff need have no fears of an overflow of that stream for the present. Sec tion Director H. F. Alciatore. of Little Rock, yesterday gave out the assurance that no food would result from the present rising wa ters in the Arkansas river
 1t was the first good news frol the Arkansas river in several days in that the river has begun to fail slightly and no rain has fallen in the drainage basin of the Arkan- sas. This is taken to mean tl;at the planters and farmers living along the Arkansas need not fear a serious overflow at this time. and, although the river has risen from one to four feet at all points in the past few days, the danger of an overflow is practically passed. The further prediction is that the river will begin to fall above this place and will rise one OF two feet here Monday.

Travelling men of this state. and especially the Pine Bluff members of the Arkansas Travellers Associa tion, which was the first organiza tion to urge the enactment of d two-cent railroad fare, will make a strenuous effort to get the two-cent rate bill passed at the coming ses- sion of the legislature. As gen. eral thing the enactment is uni versally favored by local travelling salesmen and in every instance business men and others express themselves as in favor of the law. bill to this effect was inrv duced in the last house by Repre- sentative Holm C. Ross of Hot Springs county It passed that Ross has a bill of the same char acter which he proposes to present to the general assembly immedi- ataly.
 The slogan of the various travel ing mems organizations for the past year has been two-cent fare and determined effort will be made 10 secure it's passage.
 Many of the states of the North and East have already adopted the tWo-cent law One of them. Ohio, is now one of the most popularly travelled states in the Union be- cause of this fact. Immigrants. home-seelers. theatrical companies, business mems excursions and vari- oNs other organizations en tour give that state the preference in their travel because of the low rail road rate and commercial travelling within the Buckeye state has in creased 30 per cent, it is said, be- cause of the favorable conditions brought about by the two-cent law Mississippi will probably adopt the railroad rate bill at it's present legislative session. and other South ern states have taken up the ques- tion.

 If surface indications are to be given recognition, there is somewhat of centraliZation of forces on Black of Sebastian, Hamiter of Lafayette and Ruff of Randolph. The Black and Hamiter interests are surrounded by the strongest workers in the cam paign.

This strength was tested in measure at an informal gathering of the members from east Arkansas yesterday No definite action was taken, but the Ruff managers took on renewed courage when the reports from the session were delivered
