Promises Great Entertainment.

Confederate veterans will be handsomely te ta in e d and cared for when they visit Mem phis during the reunion.
 Memphis realizes it's obliga- ton as to hospitality, and will fulfill it.
 The committee in charge of the arrangements for the re union will see to it that all who come will return home with pleasant recollections of the event.
 The funds necessary to meet the expenses will be secured and there will be no sparing of effort to make this reunion the grand est ever held in the history of the Confederate organization.
 There will be no extortion in the hotels or in boarding houses. There will oe free food and free quarters for all Confederate vet erans who make their wishes known.
 And the committee desires vet eranS to inform them in advance of their needs. There will be free entertainments, and a vet eran who desires to do so can come to Memphis and rest as sured that a cordial welcome awaits him.
 There has been some loose talk about what Memphis would not do. It is based on no sub stantial fact.
 Memphis will spend more money for the entertainment of the visitors than was spent in any other city.
 At the former reunion in this city 5000 soldiers were given rations and quarters during three days. A building was erected especially for the general meet ing. This year the buildings necessary for all meetings are constructed and the main effort of the local committee will be the entertainment and physical con- fort of the surviving soldiers, for whom nothing is too good.
 Get ready now, and when re- union time comes be here and Memphis will be ready for you no matter if every survivor of the Confederate army joins in the march on this ity.-Com- mercial Appeal.

 OBITUARY.

.< IfG ~
 Mrs. Lucretia Graham Dunkel barger was born in Dupont, Jen nings county, Indiana, Septem Der 30, 1881, and departed this life at her home in Carlisle, Ar kansas, on the morning of May 19, 1909.
 In the fifteenth year of her life she made a profession of religion and united in membership with the Graham Presbyterian church in the community where she was reared. Later removing to the South, she had her membership transferred to the Third Street Presbyterian church of Mem phis, Tenn, where her name was up to the date of her death.
 April 23, 1901, she was hap oily married to Fred H. Dun kelbarger, which union was blessed with two daughters, one four years old and the other one month of age. Besides whom she leaves to mourn her depart ure a husband, sisters and other relatives.
 To those who knew her she was known to be a good woman, true to all the relations of life, and came to the sunset of her short. day cheerfully and with the hope of the Christian to cheer her soul in the final separation with the body, the world and the treasures it held for her. The end came suddenly, and to the loved ones unexpectedly, but from the beginning of her last lllllcSS Sllc ScculSQ UO Have.

By all means that part of town lying on the south side of the Rock Island railroad should be annexed to the corporation be- fore the close of the year, as the government census will be taken next year, and this would add about 250 to our population, and give us much better showing Let us all pull together in the matter and swell our population by government census time.

Why not make pull for the establishment of a paper mill in Carlisle that would use all the surplus rice straw and pay our farmers a good price for same? We are centrally located, have plenty of water, good shipping facilities, etc., and there is no reason why we should not have this great industry. It would furnish employment for a large number of hands, and is cer- tainly worth going after.

resume or an institution Tn Stutt' gart that has perhaps done as much toward the prosperity ot Grand Prairie as any other in stitution. This is Layne x Bowler Co.,, under the able management Of Mr. E. J. Basye, together with a number of experienced helpers. The Layne & Bowler Co. has made a success of the well irrigation business in Texas and Louisiana, and has also in stalled several city waterwOrks systems successfully, and hay ing heard of the difficulties in the way of obtaining water for rice irrigation in the Arkansas rice fields, Mr. B. J Basye came to Arkansas two years ago, at which time the water supply was very doubtful, and has been giving his undivided attention to the proper development of wells for irrigation purposes in Arkan- SaS, and the success of his de velopment is fully demonstrated by the some 90 wells and pumps that have been installed under his personal supervision, about 15 of which have been installed where other well men had tried and failed.
 During 1908 Layne & Bowler Go. put in some twentyodd wells in Arkansas, the success of which fully demonstrated to the rice growing public that they had the proper system, and that they knew what they were doing, the consequence of which resulted in an unusual call upen them for wells for this season s crop, fifty three of which they were able to take care of prop erly, and about thirty they could not take hold of on account of lack of time to install the wells properly. Their motto is to do everything they do good, and not overload themselves, and also to guarantee all their machinery and wells. They are a perfectly responsible firm, which can be verified by reference to any com mercial agency Not only has MT. Basye given his attention to the proper installation of wells and pumps, but has devoted con- siderable study to the best and most economical power to pull the pumps to recommend to rice farmers, and after due delibera- tion and experimenting, he can safely recommend the Enter. prise piston valve engine and Enterprise high pressure boiler, as sold by the Weber Implement Go. of St. Louis, to be the most economical engine and boiler for pumping irrigation wells.
 The following is a partial list of wells they have put in this season:
 The Weber Engine Go. are always ready to go against any proposition, and have an able man in the person of Mir. John Wiley to look after their busi- ness here, who will prove the efficiency of their engines as power getters.

I'D you ever look up the meaning D of the words Price" and Cost? We venture you'd be interested, even surprised.
 "Price" originally meant not money, not cash but Reward Praise, Worth. In the days of Caesar they called it ''Pretium.'
 Cost comes from the old Icelander word "Koster," signifying to Choose, to Test, to Prove.
 So Price" is really the Worth of the thing sold Cost means how we'll the thing bought proves up in actual use.
 So we're not so far off the track today for when you buy paint the Price of should be the of its usefulness in appearance and wear Its Cost to you will be how we'll it stands the test you put it to. If it does well, it's cheap; if not, you paid too much. Measured by this, poor paint costs far, far than good paint; never worth the price asked and never stands the test of wear

INSTRUCTION IN IRRIGA-
TON.

While the agricultural department
of the United States, through the many
ramif1catiOns of its many bureaus, is
doing a great deal with view to
extending intelligent aid to those who
are engaged in agricultural pursuits,
yet nothing has been done towards
lending any such aid to those who are
practicing irrigation in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. 1t would seem as if
the immense sums that have been in
vested in irrigation systems and land
for irrigated farming in this valley
would entitle the interests involved
to as great consideration from the
government as those of any other sec
ton The department has an army
Of experienced men at command, who
by years of study in the field, based
upon close observation and practical
experiments. have learned the art of
irrigation from alpha to omega The
government for years has maintained
experimental stations in various sec
tiOns where irrigated farming is
practiced and hence is fully equipped
TO give instruction that should be of
great aid to those who are mere be-
ginners' in this form of agriculture.
That the department would readily
respond to a request to have an irri-
cation expert added to the staff of
of Prof. E. c. Green, the horticulture
list in charge of the South Texas Gar
dens at Brownsville, there is little
doubt If the many prominent canal
owners of the valley would address
communications to Congressman Gar
ner at Washington. and urge him to
make an effort to have something
done along this line, The Herald is
prepared to vouch that it would
not be long until this actual need of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley would
be filled
That such a need actually exists,
probably none will dispute. Many of
the planters on the canals in the val
ley have had no previous experience
whatever in irrigated farming. That
they must make mistakes is newt
able Mistakes in farming are some
times costly. Not only does the
planter lose, but the country loses.
and sometimes especially in the
case of a newly developed territory
the country suffers greatly from re-
ports of such failures. Therefore, it
would be wise for those>,who are di-
recting these great irrigation enter
prises to exert themselves in order to |
obtain some practical assistance for i
the men who are experimenting their !
efforts to develop the country by ac- !
ually filling the lands which are |
,ssaCered by the canals. 1t requires no /
prophet to see that, if the planters
fan. the canals must suffer. Some
effert should be made by
the canal owners and planters to Sc
cure the governments cooperation
in this highly important matter with
out loss of time
