families can reach any community easily and at
nominal expense. The occupants of these farms

receive education without trouble
Besides the sun River Valley experiment in
Montana the Government has established

Government established four model towns
and induced settlers TO occupy them There
were needed IN the new towns StorekeeDers

time there followed banks. hotels churches
libraries, and newspapers. There Is a railroad
station IN each town, and they are rapidlv
increasing IN population. Within two wears
after these model towns were laid out and the
farms irrigated and opened to OCCUPANCY
nearly hve thousand people were established

New-York tribune., 1909-10-31
By George E. Walsh

West. is making some new
experiments in village farming which whether
successful or not IN the end, must furnish
interesting data for students of social evolution.
Village or town farming has a rather uncertain
and puzzling meaning to most of us; for our
conception OF farming is remotely removed
from anything which could suggest village
community life. But to the solution of this
problem the Government has been led through
a variety OF circumstances, and the new ex-
pertinent in civilization promises remarkable
success.
In the newly irrigated regions of the West.
the ordinary farmer can raise more and better
crops on few acres than he could on farms
several times as large where dependence on a
limited and uncertain rainfall was his only
hope. Consequently the farms of the newly
irrigated regions are much smaller, and in
tenslve cultivation carried to a high degree
OF perfection. Such conditions make II
possible for the Government to make its new
experiment. Instead of having the farmers
scattered over wide areas the plan is to central
lze them near towns and villages so they can
ENJOY all the social privileges of small com
muntieS.
In the sun River Valley of Montana. for
instance, where the new irrigation works have
converted Sagebrush land into blooming
gardens and fields the Government has
mapped out program of occupancy that Is OF
great interest Twenty towns or villages are
Planned at equal distances apart, with farms
between and so arranged that no farmer
can be located more than three miles from one
OF the towns. The towns are distributed in
such u way that each one has its particular
farming territory TO depend upon and every
town IS within six miles of its nearest neiqhbor
by making the farms and towns to order in
advance there is no possibility of uncertain
rural growth, Each town will have its school
house, townhan and other public and semi
public business places. There the farmers will
transact their official business. All the towns
are on u railroad.
me farm homeSteads on all sides of these
towns Will be devoted to the cultivation of
fruits grams, and vegetables. The occupants
OF the homesteadS receive water from the. big

in reach in case you're needed" as my father
Then the audience-or rather the gathering,
arrived. 1t was very talkat1ve, very angry,
apparently; but finally my father, managed to
get a chance to speak and he said:
Ladies and gentlemen, very awkward
affair has happened to-day, which were it not
so serious on its face, could almost be called
joke''
"a ioke!l!' came from the assemblage, but
not in the same tone my father used the word.
He went on:
Il do not blame you for being outraged, such
of you as were mentioned in to-day copy OF
ahem - The LOngdale Intelligencer,' which,
am informed, is at present selling at a high
price"
High price or not" shouted Mr.. Pitt, the
druggist q demand that you purchase the en-
tire edition and publicly burn every copy"
Il regret" said my father, " that | cannot
afford to do this NV son informs me that
there were about fifty copies of the paper sold,
and the latest quotations from the village are
five dollars the copy, in any condition. am
perfectly willing, however, to burn all that the
assembled persons have if they will kindly
pass them to me-"
Not rninei" said Mr. Pitt stuffing it, |
judged from the sound into his pocket. Others
said the same thing, and my father continued
Very well, then as my offer has been re-
fused, have nothing more TO say. Maybe Mr..
DOvle that was Williams father" wishes
mental in the birth of The Intelligencer.'
When Williams father rose there were more
grumblings. He was not popular because he
ran paper, and he had had few things to
say about Longdale in the past that TO led the
town little. But he was a good speaker, and
he said:
Ladies and gentlemen | come before YOU
to apologize for having a son who thinks that
journalism IS the greatest of all professions. |
also apologize for having given him Christ
mas present in the form of a printing press. If
it had not been for that | sure this would
never have happened. At the time, |
have read carefully all the items to which any
one here could take umbrage and fail to
where any particular offence is intended"
There was a from the multitude that
showed the crowd did not agree with him, but
when it had stopped he went on:
Il should have said any malicious offence.
For instance, this paragraph concerning
esteemed citizen, Mr.. Walter Nelson, the
butcher:
BROKE THE BANK AT MONTE CARLO
"'Walter Nelson, butcher of this place,
has just returned on the Scythia, with over
seventy thousand dollars in his pocket,
having broken the bank at Monte Carlo,
where he was one of the most successful
players in many seasons.
The idea ~ from Nelson; but the rest of the
crowd was laughing and heard somebody say:
That settles your position as treasurer of

There was a general laugh at this. and
Williams father went on:
4" You see, if the matter is taken lightly, II
doesn't seem so bad. Now, | have no doubt
that Mrs. Timmins, whom | see among US,
was at first inclined to take offence at this
statement:
"ELOPES WITH \ CAR CONDUCTOR
"'Charles Timmins has applied for a war
rant for the arrest of his beautiful young
wife, who has, he believes, eloped with
car conductor Of the name of James Gal
lagher. Mrs Timmins Is thirty, beautiful,
tall and fair"
The rest of it was lost in a shout of laughter,
for Mrs. TimminS a woman of fifty, and
short and very fat. Williams father went on
So it is with all of us. Miss Ferguson, there,
who is given credit for having married her
nephew; DR. SnOdgraSS, who can refute the
statement that he Is behind IN his alimOny by
presenting to us his charming wife; Mr. Smith,
whose house, we are sure, was not burned down
last night, despite the word of The lntellI-
gencer that 1t was; our reVered clergyman
who, the scurrilous paper says, has been ar
rested with stolen goods IN his possession; our
good friend at whose house we are now meet
ing-he is not deserter from his party, though
the paper saws that he presided at a democratic
meeting last night-all these things, fellow citi-
zenS, are easily explained, and should be easily
forgiven and forgotten. shall now move
among YOU and collect all the copies OF the paper
YOU have, and destroy them"
No" said the minister. rising and spea king
in a pleasant voice; " | think We should prefer
keeping them. Maybe the fact that these
things have been said about us viii show Us
what a terrible thing it is for any OF us to speak
of our neighborS without being sure that we are
right. Maybe it will teach us all the pain that
can be given by a cruel rumOr, however false IL
may be; maybe it is all for the best. rs for
myself, to prove that the 'Intelligencer' how
ever it has exaggerated its statement about my
being the possessor of stolen goods, is not alto
gether wrong, | wish to confess that | have re-
ceived stolen goods and have them with
me. Yes he continued after a pause, during
which there was silence all over the room

neighbOr, DIR. SnOdgraSS, and he tells me he did
not pay for it. | wish to hand the price of the
paper, five cents, to our host. with the request
that 1t reach its proper owner
There was applause and laughter, and then
Williams father said,

Absolutely nothing about the entire affair

MARTHA WASHINGTON
 POSTAGE STAMP
Women Petitition Post office Department to Recognize One of
 Their Sex.

Washington, Sept. 30-The picture of Martha Washington may be placed upon one of the postage stamps of the present series.
 A number of women prominent in the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution have requested the Postoffice Department to take such action. It is suggested that the proposed issue of the 12-cent stamp offers an opportunity to do this. The suggestion is supported on the ground that it would be an ap- propriate recognition of one-half of the people of the United States, not to mention it's merits from an aesthetic point of view.

This Department at State Fair Grounds, Oaklawn Park, to be Revelation
 of Artistic Beauty

The immense Agricultural Hall at the State Fair grounds, Oak lawn Park, Hot Springs, will be handsomely decorat d for our fourth annual exposition, October 2 to Is. inclusive.
 The approach to the agricultu- ral building from Exposition Pal ace will be ornamented with arch ways of creals and lighted with grotesque pumpkin lanterns while the entrance will be a solid arch of vegetables.
 The first hall way within the building will be decorated entire ly with corn and will be devoted to the exhibits of the Boys Corn Clubs. The main portion of the building will contain seventy-foot arches of grains, grasses, rice and cotton, and the west side will be lined with specially de- signed county booths. The en- tire structure will be filled with splendid exhibits of farm, field and orchard of splendor and amazing variety.

ception of a change in the county levy which was changed to 3 1-2 mills for countygeneral and 1 1-2 for court house. The committee recommended an appropriation of $40, 900 for a new court house.
 After the reading of the report it was by the court unanimously adopted. Without any reflection upon the levying courts of the past, this was undoubtedly the most harmonious and business like court that has convened in this county. Every Justice had progress written upon his brow and seemed to be willing to do anything that would push his county to the forefront. It was especially encouraging to see so many of them good road enthusi- astis, which, in our humble judgement, means more to this county than all the politics you can pile into it.
