The wheat crop was excellent and with good prices. the oat and hay crop was good and there is going to be considerably more corn than was expected and of a better qual- ity. The past few days the apples are eoloring up nicely as 3 result of the cool weather. and they are going to bring a mighty good price. too Hogs. cattle and mules are bringing good prices in fact eV- erything the farmer has to sell is probably bringing more money now than ever before in the history of the country In the face of these facts the man who will complain about hard times deserves to be put in the class ot chronic grumblers.

The efforts of some Little Rock people to work up sentiment throughout the state against the state tax commission does not ap- pear to be meeting with much favor judging from the following editorial from the Fort Smith Southwest American.
 Geo Russ Brown. secretary Of the Commercial club at Little Rock. is corresponding with similar organ izations over the state trying to bring the governor s new taxation commission into disrepute and to put obstacles in the way Of the gov ernors efforts to eqnaii2e taxation. The reply Of the Commercial League of this city to Mr Brown appears in these columns and is we'll worth reading. The political bosses Of Pulaski county ought to read this reply take look at the shameful comparison they make with other counties Of the state in taxation and then publicly disown Brown The capital county of the state is a disgrace to the state of Arkansas in ton for taxation purposes and sim the matter of shameful low valua- ply shows a disregard for honesty and deeeny toward the other tax payers of the state, and Gov. Don aghey's taxation policy will correct that in spite Of them little later on if he is not blocked This may be one of the reasons why Pulas- Xxi county is turning Heaven and earth to get out candidate against him for a second term Pulaski is the worst tax-dodging county in the state and the tax books prove it.

INVASION OF THE CATALOGUE

The catalogue houses have the l Arkansas farmer on their lists The rural free delivery is laden with their messages by means of l which they hope to inveigle the un- wary into treason to their local mer chant
 The catalogue houses adopt the most ingenious and llurfnga meth ods to reach those who. very nat urally, look for what may appear to be the most advantageous in pri- ces
 It is said that the Chicago post office is carrying out this season the largest volume of these des- criptive catalogues it has eyer hand leo-and the greater part of it goes into the hands of the farmer along the rural mail routes
 The catalogue house does not carry the farmer over the unpro- ductive season, giving him credit until he has something to sell
 The farmers know this, but they do not consider il as weighing against a difference Of few cents in some commodity that. as likely as not. will be found to be of inferior quality when it is received
 But the catalogue houses haze learned what some of the home merchants have yet to learn that there is efficacy in advertising
 They must let the consumer know that they are ready to serve him with the best at prices comparable with any the catalogue houses may offer for the same goods
 In the meantime tlIe farmer should think twice before taking his patronage away from nome merehant-L R Democrat
