kALUANUI ROAD
BIDS TOMORROW
Supervisors viii Hold Special
Session to Open Tenders
for Work.

No time is being lost in making prep
arations for the grading of Kaluanui
Beach road. Bids have already been
advertised for, and special meeting of
the Board of Supervisors has been call
ed for tomorrow night in order that the
bids may be opened and the contract
awarded.
Supervisor Quinn, chairman OF the
road committee, is taking a personal
interest in the work and he is using
his influence to push matters along as
speedily as possible.
EThat round-the-island trip is 60
ing to be one of our great attractions, "
said Quinn yesterday, "and we must
put the roads into such shape that the
journey viii be pleasure to everyone.
Even now, visitors who have made the
trip always urge their friends to make
it, but were the road in better shape
we should feel more inclined to adver-
tise the trip. We are going to see that
that road is just as good as it can
be made. -

Small Farming That Pays.

Ranch days are drawing to close
everywhere east of the Missouri and
are numbered between the Missouri
and the Rock Mountains. Many a
man found failure in the section farm
and success on 80 acres. Towards
smaller farms is the trend of today s
farming, and as the years roll on and
the people flock in, the farms will be-
come smaller and smaller the people
more contented and the wealth more
equally distributed.
There are many ways of making the
small farm profitable today. AS per
son has a fancy. so may he almost
choose his work. If he likes dairy
ing he can succeed on the small farm
with good dairy cows. If he likes
fruit growing, he can find localities
where much can usually be secured
from few acres. The grain raiser has
learned that fewer acres better cultt
waited bring in greater net profits than
large acreage half-farmed and
abused. There never were better
chances for the small farm.

Easy to Raise Tomato Plants.

1t is only by raising your own
plants from seed that you are always
absolutely sure of the variety you
will have. In case you buy your
plants, you cannot always depend
upon the reliability OF the person
from whom you buy, and you may
not get the variety of tomatoes you
desire.
1t is not difficult to raise plants
from seed. Anyone who has had ex-
perience with house plants can grow
good tomato plants. A sufficient num-
Der for any ordinary garden can be
started by sowing seed in a shallow
box, or a large flower pot containing
good, rich SOIL putting the seed about
one-quarter inch deep. Place the pox
or pot in a sunny window in the
house. Care should be taken that
the soil does not become too dry. but
not water enough to make the soil
soggy. When the plants are about
an inch high, there is constant ten
dency for the tops to turn towards
the sun. 1t is therefore we'll to turn
the box occasionally to insure good,
straight-grown plants.

who had accompanied him on the trip,
went two miles to Howard for help
and 1t was necessary TO bring him to
Mena before medical aid could be Sc
cured. He lost much blood and is
very weak, but is expected TO recover.
Parker started on a hunting trip
with his Oldest son and was among
the mountains near Howard. At the
time of the accident he was hurrying
after a bear he had startled in
ravine, when he slipped and fell. His
gun was discharged and the bullet en-

About three years ago Parker, who

accident resulted in the loss of the

A parish priest in Ireland recently
Informed the department of agricul-
ture at Washington that IL farmers in
his neighborhood having contributed a
dollar apiece, he bought IL good books
on agriculture and horticulture, and
thus established small loan library
which has done excellent service.
Secretary Wilson now plans to develop
a similar idea. He invites both coun'
try clergymen and physicians to take
the initiative, and volunteers to advise
what books shall be purchased, ard tc
supply such libraries with department
publications. Under these conditions,
a small amount of money will go long
way; and the farmers who invest II
