AS Mr. Coburn, secretary of the Kan
sas department of agriculture, states:
It would be just as reasonable to ac-
count for the bumper wheat crops of
Kansas on the ground that 1t is a pro-
hibition state as it Is to insist that
the reason Nebraska has had a larger
corn crop in one year than did Kansas,
Is because anti-prohibition prevails in
Nebraska. When it comes to mailing a
fallacy, Mr. Coburn is an expert.

FARMING AND RAILROADS.


Railroads are constructed for COM
rnercia1 purposes and made to pass
through sections of the country that
promise future business. They form
the basis of industrial development.
without transportation facilities the
farming communities would not be-
come prosperous. Many OF the PROD
ucts of diversified agriculture pay
nrofits when the fields of supply are
located within the ten-mile limit of a
TRANSPORTATION station. The railroads
become the pioneers in developing the
natural resources. They establish the
shirt of cooperation between pro-
ducers and carriers and. enable the
growers to get their products on the
best markets, at the right time and IN
proper condition.

An Old Cooking Stove.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. M. Jernigan,
Of Charlotte, are the owners OF a
cooking stove that is perhaps the
oldest in point of service in Ar
kansas. 1t was bought from
William Shakleford at Jackson
port in 1871, and has just been
set aside after thirty eight years
of continuous service.
The stove cost $50. For thir-
EIGHT years it has been used
for cooking, and many are the
good things it has aided in get
ting ready for the table. Mrs.
Jernigan writes: "We sat it in
the corner of the kitchen and
gave it a nice polishing to make
it look new and nice, save the
holes burned around the edges

Editor Record:--l have read
with much interest the letters Of
some Of our oitizens in recent is-
sues of'your paper Offering sug-
gestion9 and ideas for the better
ment Of conditions in Sharp
county and for the improvement
Of our farms. The subject Of the
proper development Of our
natural resources has been a
matter upon which this writer has
pondered much, consequently
when this subject 10 taken up by
others in the public prints my
| interest 10 at once increased, We
quite heartily agree with both
Mr.. Line and Mr.. Oliver, and be-
Iiove that their ideas, If put into
practice among our people, will
lead to more prosperity and con-
tented lives and homes for our
/ eitl2ene.
There are some men who, when
q stranger comes into their com"
munity, are always seemingly
ready and anxious to offer Opol-
ogies for the country and excuses
for the people. TO my mind,
eandidly, there 10 no valid reason
why Sharp county should be
made the subject Of an apology,

INFLATED. Nothing useful is pro-

distort them into a
necessary cog in The machinery

does not produce something USE

mental or a tinker's cuss word,
and the only excuse he can offer
for living is that he may consume
the results of the labor of others.
There are many fields open to

not become a worker in one OF
