couldn't get his money dst of the

"You see, Mr.. Smidt, " said the bank
cashier, there is plenty of money in
the bank, but all the banks have
agreed in order to prevent a panic to
pay out only a part of the actual cur
rency demanded by depositors. Your
money is here alright, and you can
have it as soon as it is safe to let you
have it. In the meantime we will give
you instead of actual cash. clearing
house certificates, which will serve the
same purpose. This is the third time

The newspaper man has his friends
and his enemies, and some people cam
not find abuse too coarse to heap up
on his head. But he numbers as his
friends some of the greatest men of
the nation. For instance here is what
ex-President Roosevelt thinks of the
newspaper man: Every owner, edi-
tor or reporter of a conscientiously
and ably conduced newspaper or
periodical is an asset of real value to
the whole community. 1t would be
difficult to overestimate the amount of
good which can be done by the men
responsible for srch a publication
responsible for its editorial columns,
responsible for its news columns, re-
sponsible for its general policy. We
havemany newspapers and periodicals,
big and little of this kind

The legislature has passed a joint
resolution providing for the exemption
from taxation for period of ten years
of all capital invested in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods in this state. This
is an act for which the legislature is to
be commended. Arkansas needs more
manufacturing enterprises, and we
should hold out some inducements for
capital along this line. We have an
abundance of raw materials of various
kinds. Why ship them to the North
to be manufactured, and then have
them shipped back? Why not keep
the profits, the costs of manufacturing
and the double transportation charges
here at home?

A farmer had leghorn hens run
ming about his place during the spring
and summer, and the women folks had
raised quite n number OF puiietS.
Down at the barn he had a sort OF
a side loft, in which he had stored
a lot Of oats IN the bundle. The hens
and pullets, as the natured, and as
the season grew colder and the out
side forage was cut off, took to work
ing in the oats up in the loft, for their
daily bread. They had kept this go
ing for some time before our friend
noticed it. But he had noticed col
lections OF eggs in the nests in the
various trouShs at the stable, and was
wondering what had stirred the hens
up to laying so.
He was a sensible and practical man
and, putting this and that together
after watching the leghorns working
up in the oat loft, end seeing them
about the nests. singing. laying and
cackling, he soon came to a conclusion.
The eggs are worth more than the
oats" he said to his wife. I'll keep
them at it if / can
And he did. He had a stack OF
oats outside the barn lot in the corner
Of the field, and SO he just fed that
loft with fresh oats along as they were
worked down. and he kept those hens
busy all the winter.

had been the greatest source of profit

In last weeks issue of the Express
I saw u statement headed: "A Man
Who Makes Money Farming and 10y
reading h statement I learned it was
Mr.. w. 3. Sellers, Of the Tramway
section. Mr.. Sellers says he raised
80 bales of cotton on 80 acres at a
cost or 4 cents per pound, also 200
bushels OF corr at II IL cents per
bushel. 1 kindly ask Mr. Sellers to
please tell the farmers of Lee county
through the Express how he prepares
his land for planting, also how he
cuit1vates these crops until aid by.
How much fertilizers he uses per acre,
how applied and what grade. We
would like to know how many horses
and mules Mr.. Sellers worked on his
farm. Now if Mr.. Sellers will tell
our farmers how he can raise cotton
and corn so cheap, # will be a step
in the right direction for us. What
others are doing we can do also, if
we can find out how. I know we are
not raising as much corn and cotton
per acre as We should, and we need
all the good instruction on farming
tnat we can get, SO as to help us to
get the greatest results from our land.
We should all be Interested in good
farming, for 1t is from the farm that
we all get our food for both man and
beast. When the IN Of Lee
county get SO they can raise p. bale
OF cotton per acre at q cost of 4 cents
per pound and corn at II IL ents per
bushel, hen they can have a graded
school in every district in the county
to run six months in the year, supplied
with the very best of teachers, at a
living price for their work. Then
We can build good roads all over Lee
county. l am now seeking the ad-
vice of a man who says he had done
1t TO tell us that we may profit thereby.
