 FAULKNER COUNTY FAIR

L. E. Halter, who has charge of the poultry exhibit department of the Faulkner county fair, has written the following letter to the Logan Cabin Lemocrat for publication:
 Having been appointed superin- tendent of the poultry department of the Faulkner county fair, I kindly re quest parties desiring to have an ex- hibit to write me as soon as possible that I can arrange suitable coOps free for parties desiring them. There will be no entry fee in this depart ment.

At meeting of the trustees of the Conway school district. held Satur- day night, it was decided to open the city public schools on Monday, Octo- Der {. The trustees have been delib- erating for some time as to whether 1t would be an advantage to the school to postpone the opening until after the county fair, but a great
 many of the patrons have expressed themselves that school should open at the regular time, and it was de- cided to grant two half-holidays and all of one day instead of postponing the school. Superintendent s. s. Wa ters of the school has issued the ,ol- lowing letter to the people of Con way:
 "I am glad to say to all the patrons of the Conway public school that on October 4, at g a. m., our school will open and that we plan for the best years work in the history of the school. We have the new building which we hope to have in good shape. the seats and desks all new and clean, the we'll and grounds looked after, a fellow townsman, Mir.

est so dear to any one as is his edu- cation, his complete unfolding of his life, nor is any interest as important to parent as is the education of his sons and his daughters. We as your teachers cannot accomplish this great work without the help of all, and that the highest ends may be reached, we ask everyone who is interested in the success of the school this year to be present with your children October 4, at 9 a. m., and let us have the best opening, understanding that good beginning often means a good end ing. l am aware that the county
 fair opens the same day, but l think you can we'll afford to give us the morning for one or two hours and we shall appreciate it very much. The board has, out of it's kindness, agreed that we can grant a half holiday on
 Monday and Tuesday, and all of
 Wednesday, and this will give every one sufficient time and opportunity to see the fair, so we trust that every pupil will be in his place October 1.
 We shall endeavor to make the open ing attractive and we want the par
 ents as we'll as the pupils present. Let
 me urge you to come. The children will have two days to attend the fair and this seems sufficient. We shall be glad to have all come with a mind
 for any task, with heart full of zeal,
 with hands ready to do anything.
 Examinations on Thursday and Friday before the opening. and we hope all who failed on any subject to make your grade will get ready for this examination, as we shall not grant promotion without this work be- ing done, and we shall not give exam
 nations at any other time. We shall
 not accept work done at other places
 during vacation. We shall expect all
 who failed in May to take this exam iination before they can be promoted.
 Therefore, get ready and be at the
 building September 30, at a. m.
 Respectfully,

THOUSAND AT MEETING
Large Tent Packed to Its Fullest
 Capacity Last Night.
Strong Sermons Preached by Rev. 1. z. Harris at Yestsrday Morning and
 Evening Services.

The large tent in which the series of protracted meetings are being con- ducted by Rev. I. F. Harris, the evan gelist from Texas, were attended yesterday by the largest crowds ever gathered at revival meeting. At the services last night the tent was filled to its fullest capacity, probably more than 200 people standing on the outside and sitting in buggies, eager to hear the wonderful preacher tell the sweet story of old. Several have estimated that there were more than 1000 people present at the evening serN zee.
 The morning sermon of Rev. Har- ris, "The Church." was one of the strongest sermons ever heard in this city. In the evening he took for his text "The Judgment Day." and was given the closest attention by the mighty throng of people. Rev. Har- ris is preacher of more than the ordinary kind, presenting the plan of salvation in way that the small est child can understand. it's meaning. His sermons are filled with beautiful illustrations, which leave great inn pression on his hearers, and many have been converted during the meet ing by the simple way he tells them of the love of Jesus. At the close of the services last night several went forward and gave their hand to the preacher on the proposition that they would try to live better lives in the future than they had in the past.
 The meeting will continue through. out this week and probably longer.

The comforts of it's patrons is all ways of first importance to the man agers. The drinking water supply will be abundant, as tanks will be found at every prominent place on the ground.
 While the main object of the fair lis to entertain, instruct and educate in the various industries of city and county, the amusement feature is necessarily one of importance, and the program of the Faulkner county fair in this respect equals that of any
 Southern fair. There will be reg ular amusement place, in which there
 will be 20 or 30 shows and novelties
 from all parts of the world. There will be free attractions.
 There will be racing of every charac
 ter, including horses, mules, ponies, athletes, motorcycles, automobiles, ] and bicycles. There will be balloon
 ascensions day and night. The novel,
 ties in the amusement line will in- clude all the latest successes at fairs
 and parks, and while it is the desire of the fair to be absolutely up to date, nothing will be tolerated that is not absolutely clean and free from any suggestion of vulgarity.
 The free amusements alone will |cost the fair association over $1 900, and include more features than usual ly seen in circus.

GOVERNMENT NURSERIES
SoeooOOo0Oo0ooO oeoOoO ooooS

The trees used in the National ex-
periments in reforestation are grown
at eight Government nurseries in the
existing National forests out West.
The preliminary stage of forest
planting within the National forests
is now past, and several of the plant
ing stations have produced trees Of
sufficient size to plant directly on the
permanent site. About 100000 trees
were planted during the winter and
spring of 1907.
At the nursery in the Dismal River
National forest more stock has
reached an age suitable for planting
than at the other stations. This nurs-
cry contains approximately $780,
900 trees.
At present there are about 3,000,-
900 trees for planting in the sand
hills. The species largely in use up
to this time are Western yellow pine
and jack pine. Other species, chiefly
Scotch pine, Norway pine and Doug
las fir, are being tested in the nurs-
cry and in experimental plantations.
The State forests of Saxony, COM
prising 100000 acres, are in charge
of forestry bureau at yearly ex-
pense which averages SO for each
acre, but such is the extent and value
of the timber and other products that
the net yearly revenue averages $3.50
an acre after deducting all expenses.
The appropriation of the United
States for the bureau of forestry is
so insignificant that 1t amounts to a
little less than one cent for each acre.

WORK IN THE ORCHARD.

Much of the important work on
the fruit farm must he done during
the dormant season. Just how much
of the seasons work can and should
be done in winter is a question Of
economic Importance to the fruit
grower. In most parts of the country
everything goes with rush from the
time the trees leaf out in the spring
until the crop is harvested, packed
and shipped in the fall. There is fire.
quently, in fact usually; a scarcity OF
help during much of the growing sea-
son. The greatest drawback to VIM
ter work is the cold weather and short
days. However, we have found that
men and teams working in the or
chard can accomplish aboutas mucnin
eight or nine hours when the weather
is cool as they can working ten hours
during hot weather.
A point of great importance in win
ter work is that the owner can usu-
ally be right along with his men
about all the time, as the work is not
so much scattered or divided as the
summer work.
While some advocate pruning In
June, it Is seldom that we see prun-
ing done at that time in active prac-
tice. Occasionally a peach grower
gets so far behind with his winter and
spring work that he is found trim
ming trees as late as the first OF
June, but it always proves more cost
ly to- do the work at that time when
the foliage is off the trees. Wounds
made in pruning trees will heal over
more quickly when the work is done
in the spring, but most orchardists
paint the larger cuts when pruning.
and thus they have no trouble with
the wood checking or dying back into
the remaining wood of the tree.
In pruning large apple trees there
is always more or less heavy work.
and by doing this late in winter we
bring the work up close to spring and
allow only a small chance for the
wood to dry out before the growth
begins. Correspondence in the ADJ

SMALL FRUITS.

The small fruits play very inn
portant part in the economy of the
household, inasmuch as they come at
a time when there is a scarcity of
other fruits and oftentimes of veget-
ables as well. So it is very important
that every farmer especially should
set apart plat of ground sufficiently
large to be. capable of producing all
the small fruits that the family can
possibly consume during the year.
The size of the plat will depend some
what upon the size of the family

CALCIUM CYANAMIDE.

Recent European experiments indi-
cate that calcium cyanamide is about
equal in agriculture value to sulphate
of ammonia. The best time to apply
it is in the fall, and whenever used
for sowed crop it should be distrib-
uted at least eight days before seed
ing and narrowed into the soil. This
fertilizer seems to be particularly
beneficial to cereals and hoed crops,
its action being best in wet season.
Calcium cyanamide appears to be
more effective in nonacid, rich hu-
mus or clay soils than in those con-
tanning sand or lime. One expert
menter recommends concerning its
application that the best time is
when the soil is wet or when there is
good prospect of rain, and that in
any case it should be well worked
into the soil, that it may have as
much moisture as possible. -Indian-

from the nearest garage and Ham
ilton was in far from a pleasant mood
when he espied tiny cottage in the
distance. standing among the trees,
and trusting to luck that it might
boast Of telephone, walked slowly
in the direction of the house.
1t was evidently a summer camp,
built Of logs in the old-fashioned way
and showing the artistic womanly
touch in the trailing vines and masses
of bright colored flowers which
transformed it into a veritable bower.
The door stood invitingly open, and
Hamilton, standing on the threshold,
uttered surprised exclamation as a
girl clad in a simple. spotless linen
gown came toward him with a
Hush, baby is asleep" and then,
why, it's dear old 'Hammy'." Past
grievances were forgotten by the two,
for in the mistress of the manor
Fred Hamilton recognized the Emily
of former days in the very captivat-
ing matron who welcomed him so
cordially. She told him of the glori-
Gus summer days spent in this syl-
van retreat, which Hugh could easily
reach after his work in the city was
over, and the light OF perfect happi-
ness was upon her countenance and
it was hardly necessary for Hamil-
ton to question her regarding the
wisdom of her choice.
After assistance was summoned
for the refractory automobile, Emily
charmingly insisted upon the stage
manager remaining for the evening
meal, and to the man accustomed to
hotel fare the simple and well-cooked
repast was like ambrosia.
Il say, old chap" said Hugh, as
he and his guest sat putting their af-
ter dinner cigar, II stole Emily from
the glare Of the spotlight, but know
and feel sure that she is perfectly
content, although the world has lost
a singer" And stepping lightly
across to the tiny nursery and beck
oning silently to, Hamilton, they
stood watching Emily as she sat with
Hugh, Jr.'s tiny head quite close to
hers, and in voice that had become
enriched and softened by the supreme
joy of motherhood, sang a quaint,
low lullaby to the rosy little cherub
in her arms. To Fred Hamilton she
looked like some old world Madonna
with the moonlight streaming in upon
her, and the scene touched respon-
sive chord in the worldly mans
heart, for he realized that all the
worlds adulation and glamour were
as dead sea fruit when compared to
the perfect peace and harmony of
that little household.
And when he made his adieu he
took Emily's hand in his and said
very solemnly: You're a star after
all, little Emily, IN the greatest show
on earth--a happy home" and step
ping into the waiting automobile, he
was off, and she knew he meant it.

OF being cheat and defaulter Every man owes the
world the equivalent Of his living and the worlds average

this debt to the world he gets tremendous dscount-a
discount so great that he is frequently tempted to sit down
