PLEASURES OF FARM LIFE.
science and Invention Revoiutionire
Methods In Agricultural D,stricts-


old-sashioned life on the farm is
fast disappearing. Things have quick
ened some and science has wrought
changes for the better. Drudgery has
peen obliterated through improved
machinery and there is no reason why
the farmer of to-day should not lead a
lie OF comparative gentle ease. In
stead OF following the plow he rides
the plow. The sowing of the crops
and all this cultivation is done by ma
chinery. 1t is no uncommon thing to
hnd the farm house equipped with all
modern conveniences known to the
city folks, gas or electric lights, hot
and cold water and every sanitary In
novation. The telephone and the
rural delivery bring the farm close to
the town, and no longer need the
average farmer be behind the times as
to passing events. He has sufficient
leisure at his home fireside to acquire
greater fund of information from ths
daily papers and other good literature
which he receives than has the busy
merchant or professional man who re-
sides in the city
NApotA WIN LILO
world at large has revolutionized farm
lie and has robbed It OF many unde-
sirable phases. No longer does the
farmer feel abashed when among
townspeople on account OF his lack OF
information: rather he is proud of the
fact that he is quite as up-to-date and
well informed as any intelligent citi-
zen, 1t matters not where he may re-
side. This feeling on the part Of the
farmer has changed his attitude
towards the home town. He has come
to a realization that the distance be-
tween the farm and the town has been
annihilated and that his work on the
farm is an important thing In the
maintenance of the nearby town. He
is Interested In good roads, he is in
terested in all local improvements.
These are matters of Importance to
him just as well as things directly re-
latlng to his farm. The farmer is be-
ginning to realize, even more than the
merchant, the relationship of the agri.
cultural district TO the home town.
1t is now up to the residents of the
villages and the small cities to study
into conditions and to place the proper
estimate upon the Importance OF the
farmers work In town maintenance.

Postum, of which / had received a

"The first cupful surprised me. It

who was in similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"a few days after, / met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
They Bring Many Benefits to the
Town and to Their Patrons.

II the average merchant would calm
ly study over the matter OF benefits
that can be brought around by the
home paper, the editor would receive
a more liberal advertising patronage
The country-town paper fills n Pc
culiar field. There is no substitute
for it, 1t is the purveyor of local
news, the criterion OF the degree OF
prosperity of the town. Week after
week the editor talks to a thousand
or more people of the community He
is the molder of public opinion, and
his paper is not alone his own mouth
piece. but the megaphone of the
whole surrounding country. People
read daily papers that are published
in the large cities for the large amount
of current general news; the local
paper Is read for the little doings In
the local field. Rarely does the sub
scription list represent dollars enough
to pay running expenses. The paper
must have advertising to be a success.
Let 1t be announced a single time that
there will be an auction sale of John
Jones' live stock, agricultural imple-
ments and other wares, and see how
many will be at the auction. This
proves its value as an advertising me-
dunn. Note the most successful
storekeeper in any town. and you will
find he is the most liberal patron of
the home paper.

KEEP TO THE FRONT.
Energy and Prosressiveness Demand
ed by Present Strenuous Times.

Do you hear the rumble? The noise
OF the wheels of the car OF progress?
II you are deaf to it just make UP
your mind to join the ranks of the
nonprogressive and the failures. This
is a strenuous age. and time when to
succeed in business requires work, in
telligent work, and lot of 1t. System
is the watchword, and work, work
steady and directed by brain, is what
brings success. There are SO many
who are engaged in trade that are
little equipped for it. These days,
to succeed, it is necessary that every
phase of the business you are in be
understood. What rules to-day may
undergo change tomorrow. The
man in business must be up-to-date or
very likely he will soon be the loser
Keep posted on the markets, the con
ditions OF trade In general. on the
latest methods of doing business. II
you do not-well, Just put your name
on the back-number list and drop out.
The sooner the better for your own
pocketbook and the welfare of your
family.
Don't keep In the rear of the pro-
cession. There is plenty of room up
front. Once in the rear, you may be
inclined still to further lag behind and
let the procession get clear out of
sight. Lots of room in the front,
and If you can carry the banner, all
the better. Good old Step-Lively is al
ways there. and he can hear every
command. and right from the front,
too. He can watch the maneuvers of
the enemy and has by far the best
chance OF doing his duty well. The
boy in the rear can only see tho
movements of those before him, and
Is pretty likely to get a stray shot
from point outside his view. If you
want to succeed in life. don't get in
the rear.

OUR COUNTRY BOYS
CHANCES THAT THEY SOME
TIMES OVERLOOK.
BRAINS FOR THE BIG CITIES
Opportunities for the RuraI-Born Youth
to Gain Success by Making
His Start In His Home
Town.

There is no use in complaining be-
cause you perhaps were born on
farm and fortune destined that you
must get your initial business expert
ence in the four-corners' grocery
store, or some other business estab-
lishment in the home town. The aver
age country boy has kind of banker
ing for city life. and for chance to
climb to the front. Some, however.
never stop to think that IL they are
built of the proper material they Will
drift there without realizing the
change. Yes. the country town is
the kindergarten of success. and III
you don't make a winning there you
might as well make up your mind to
go back to the plow.
Business men. much like poets. are
born, not made. and II one has not
the talents requisite for success In
mercantile life, he will have hard
road to success. Business principles
are the same the world over. and the
little country store affords the gaining
of knowledge that is necessary to the
winner. The most successful mer-
chants in the world gained their start
in the country store. The greatest
statesmen found their ambitions while
following the plow. Then the country
boy should not be sorry that he is not
in the big city. The one with brains
and ability In these days will win
out The country is the fertile field
FOR the growing of brains for city
use. Therein is held in reserve the
ha of
business. Study into the lives of the
great men of to-day, and you will
find three-fourths of the most sue
cessful ones the product of the farm
and the country town. Then, IL you
are .country-store clerk, be thank
full, and II you use honest endeavor in
time you will find that instead of you
seeking the city, the city will be seek
ing you. Merit always finds it's re-
ward.
What you learn, learn well. Be
thorough in everything you do. Better
be a good grocery clerk than a poor
lawyer. Better be good pillow boy
than a poor clerk. Brains backed up
by industry and honesty of purpose
are essential to success. Hours spent
in study of whatever business you may
enter are hours well spent. You can
never learn too much, If you only
learn rightly. Ambition is one Of
the things that assists in working
wonders. Have an aim in life, and
let that aim be your loftiest ideal
Once you decide upon worthy accom-.
plishment never rest until you sue
ceed. The small country store or bust.
ness place gives splendid opportunity
to study. 1t has advantages that the
city store never affords. There are
spare moments that can be profitably
utilized. Make the best of them,
and remember that a well-stored mind
is great capital in business, and the
talent that enables you to make the
best of what you know is an important
factor. Study, improve every min
ute; don't grumble; keep at work,
and your chance will come.

Power Of AdxertIsina.

In the progress OF the mail-order
system is given a wonderful illustra-
ton of the power Of advertising. It
is the means that all who have sue.
ceeded have employed. 1t is an old
saying that the hair of the dog is
good for the bite" One OF the surest
ways for the merchants to combat the
competition OF these concerns which
catch trade by advertising is to ad-
yertise rightly. People who buy from
mail order houses would hardly pay
the same prices for the goods IL ex-
posed on the counters of the home
store. II the big houses sold goods at
the low prices which they claim. their
profits would not run up into the mil
lions yearly. The rural delivery can
be made to serve the local dealer
as well as the far-off catalogue house.
The merchant should not be afraid to
do little advertising; yes, a good lot
OF advertising, for II it is done rightly
1t will bring a greater percentage OF
profit than money invested in any
other way in business. Perhaps there
are 400 or 500 farmers In the terri
tory of certain town. For a few dol
lars the home printer will print suffi-
cient circulars to reach them all. 1t
will cost one cent each to mail them.
Place an advertisement in your home
paper. Merchants in different lines
in the same town can get up a Joint
circular, and thus save some on print
ing and postage. This plan can be
nicely carried out II merchants all
pull together.

K. J. Abernathy of Big Fork, who was in Mena on business last week, reported that the burg lars who visited Womble Sunday night and robbed three stores, were two 13-year-old boys who live at Mt. Ida, and whose names he did not learn.
 After burglarizing these stores the two little fellows returned to Mt. Ida, where it is said they burg glarized one of the stores at that place.
 Mir. Abernathy stated that he did not learn whether or not the boys had been placed under ar rest.
