Arthur Grissom, late editor Smart

such marked talent that size has be-

are still remembered by those whose

The Mexican boil weevil has
made it's appearance in Pike
county. The appearance of tn e
weevil at this time of the year
is rather out of the regular habits
of the pest, but it may be ex-
planned that he got here in time
to give the legislature an op-
portunity to appropriate a snug

GET BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE

GET BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE.
No family with a yard full of
chickens, a garden Of vegetables
and an orchard full of fruit ever
suffered want or felt the fnan-
cial pinch.
The writer could have gone on
further and said "a crib full of
corn, a smoke house full of meat,
and a dairy full of milk and but
ter" In having these lies the
secret of cheap and comfortable
living. The purchase each day
of all the family consumes in the
way of edibles is a drain that
but few pocket books can stand.
A handsome salary looks like
thirty cents at the end of the
year after undergoing such a
drain as each day makes on it.
The extremely high prices now
prevailing are due entirely to the
failure Of our people to raise
more of what they consume.
During the fall and winter pork
has been shipped here and sold
ct eight cents for the whole hog
by the packers in Chicago, St. Lou
is and Kansas City. The farmer
who can get that for hogs dress
ed can make a very hansome pro-
fit with less labor than he could
by raising something else and
buying meat. Try this another
year, and now is the time to be-
gin preparations for it.
