Victory

s. E. Riser, in Chicago Record-Herald. How poor his triumph is whose venture
 pays
 Because strong friends of his have
 willed it so; Have pulled the strings and schemed in
 cunning ways To drag him up or boost him from
 below. How evanescent his poor pride must be- How often he must nurse vain regret. How often weakly wish that he were free To scorn those who have placed him in
 their debt. How splendid is his triumph who has won Alone, unaided, honor and renown, Who owes no thanks. and rises to his
 own,
 Despite the worlds attempts to keep
 him down.

When Corks Stick

Every one knows the inconvenience of getting corks from glue or cement bottles, even after they had been opened. After many tribulations with broken bottles. one woman invented the plan of rubbing the cork with vasseline before insert Ing 1t.

About False Hair

There are few women in this country today who are not wearing coils or toupees shorn from the heads of maids in France. Switzerland, Germany or Hun gary. There will be less false hairdress- ing in the future. unless a new source of supply Is found The several govern ments of Europe are legislating to make it illegal for a girl to sell her hair or for an agent to buy 1t. But there Is another
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-20

reason for the growing scarcity of hair for artificial purposes, and that Is the practical exhaustion of the European sup ply. So great has been the American de- mand for the last six months that there is hardly a peasant girl to be found with long tresses. The girls of Brittany for many years have given the finest coils to the market, and every head there has been shorn. AS it takes several years to grow coils to equal the first crop, it is evident hair famine threatens. Its first effects will be felt by the American wom- an, who however luxuriant her own hair is not satisfied, but needs must borrow

Thin Skinnedness

"The most unpleasant kind of vanity to meet with" writes a reader. 'is thin skinnedness. The thinsknned person is always on the lookout for sights and takes every allusion to himself. His amour propre must be consulted on every occa- sion, thereby making every one around constrained and unnatural for fear of hurting him. He is a wet blanket every where and one cannot help feeling of re- lief whenever he leaves"

Cotton Seed Man Who Re turns From Tour of State
 Says Crop is Normal
GOOD IN MANY PLACES
Little Rockjan Reports Three Good Crops to one faiIure-lS
 Encouraging.

Little, Rock, Ark, Aug. A. -Charfes Leifer, Little Rock seed man who has just completed tour of the state, reports the crops con- ditions to be highly exaggerated. He says the crop this year, if anything will be above normal. Mr. Leifer has spent four weeks in touring the differ ent sections of the state and says
 there are many places where the drouth has created a great deal of havoc, but there are three places with fine crops to the one which is a fail ure. He says the state would have been so prosperous if there had been no dry spell that the farmers would not have known what to do with their money. MT. Leifer says he has seen some of the best crops in the portions of the country which have been hit the hardest by the heat and lack of rain. He attributes this to scientific farming, and says all the farmers in that section could have done as well it fhey had planted and cultivated their crops properly. Mir. Leifer is of the opinion the agricultural schools will be worth millions of dollars to Arkan sas, as they will teach scientific farm ing, which will enable the farmers in the future to prepare for drouth and excessive moisture so their crops will not be ruined.

MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY.

The necessity of advertising a city's advantages, the resources of county, or state is great advantage to the prosperity of all the residents of the community, as the advertising of the wares of dealers in merchandise, etc. or of the places where they trans act their business Both are necessi- ties. We find that live man will give publicity to his business. We note that a progressive community is always to advertise the advantages offered by it's own home town or county. and never fails to let the world know how great the State in which they reside. Newspaper publi- city, given the whole South in the last ten years has created new South.
 Some municipalities, grasping the great benefit to be derived from this kind of publicity, have taxed the residents and annually spends this fund in aiding an experienced press agents who spend their entire time exploiting the advantages offered in their home city. Fort Smith citizen ship is awake to the great good de- rived from publicity, having raised thirty thousand dollars. This amount 1 is being spent through the magazines, special edition work, daily papers ani other live methods, that are having the desired effect
 We knows that Pine Bluff and Jef- ferson county offers even more to the prospective home seeker, the manu- facturer and capitalist, than any other city or county in the Southwest. The foundation of rapid increase in re- sources established was not through the boom methods, but those who have established themselves here are people of conservative, sound and practical business sense who saw the oDer:ass and have prospered.
