AN old bachelor lawyer resid . ing in an old New England com- munity bought pair of socks and found attached to one pa- per with these words: "I am a young lady of twenty, and would like to correspond with a bache- Tor with a view of matrimony." The name and address were giv- en. The bachelor wrote, and in a few days got the reply:
 Mamma was married twenty years ago. Evidently the mer- chant of whom you bought those socks did not advertise, or he would have sold them lon g ago. My mother handed me your let ter and said possibly l might suit. I am eighte en. /"

THE new State Tax Commis-

THE new State Tax Commis- sion is making preparations to get into immediate communica- ntion With all the county asses- Psorssof the state with view of putting the new system of tax as- sessment in Arkansas into effect at once so that the first results will be noticeable in the assess ment of property which will be- gin in June. The commission has decided to send out letter to each assessor calling to his at tention the provisions of the law creating the new commission and it's purpose and also pointing out to each assessor the fact that the present laws demand that pro- perty be assessed at it's full value and not at any per centum basis, as has been the practice. It is possible that an effort may be made to hold state meeting of the assessors with the commis- sion, but the matter has not been decided upon. pr. Avery Moore member of the commission, stat . ed that it was the desire of that body to first get in touch with the assessors before anything else is done in order that those officers may start the ball rolling" when they make the rounds in assessing property. g-s-H

Cooperation Among Farmers

I.o-A combination of farmers, 4 principally in states west of the Mississippi, puts forward prop osition thatlooks to the abolition of grain corners by speculators and the creation of grain corners by grain growers. The plan promises steadiness in prices at least, for through the chain of bonded warehouses to be estab- lished grain may be deposited as security for banknotes until it's growers and owners are ready to sell. --7 -55--- .-, 41---,
 f Simultaneous with this grain E growers movement came the announcement that large apple grower in the great apple state of New York had abandoned his orchards because they do not pay. Trade conditions, he de- clafed, are against the producer, the commission ring'' getting the lions share whether prices are low or high. Apple prices have ranged high for several years in the retail market, and the growing of fruit in soil as favorable ass that of New York should have been profitable bu- siness. Farmers deserve fair return from their investment and labor, and every project to give them square deal is certain to attract attention. o-.f..s, t-.

STRAW BERRY Y CROP.
Result of This Season Shows
 a Profitable Business.

Those who have been interested enough to abserve the results acheived in the local production of strawberries since the indus- try was matched here some five or six years ago pronounce the season just closed the most suc- cessful one in the mark eting that has so far been experienced.
 The crop, however, has been lighter by considerable odds than any year since an attempt at shipments have been made, due partly the shortage of the crop, but mostly to the decrease of acreage, many patches hav- ing been destroyed during the past two years. 5.,f-tr
 The growers became discour- aged over losses sustained in 1906 and 1907 and the industry had just about winked out, when those who have persevered come forward this season with hand some bunch of profits.
 J. B. Reeves has capped the climax as a producer this year. He had in four acres that have recorded gross income of over 5000. Of course, the profit to MT. Reeves will drop to lees than half those figures. He hired every berry picked, packed and shipped. In fact, about the only thing he gave personal at tention to was the receiving and depositing the checks that came in daily during the shipping season, so busy has he been overseeing various contracts he had on hands during the time. Then, most anybody can make more clear money out of any thing than does MT. Reeves. He always gives the other fellows a chance. The only difference between him and most other people is that he goes after everything as though he knew he was going to win and he wins, even if others do get large per cent of the money.
 So far, as The Tribune has been able to gather the following rep- resents about the sum and total of the crop produced here this year: s-.
 J. B. Reeves. ..... .S105O .OO
 H. w. Rowland. .87.50
 w.. s. Sims. 5000 a
 J. B. Stevens. ........1 10000
 Tom Keller. .87 .00
 c. I. Forsyth. ........ 135 5.00
 There were a few other ship pers upon whose crop we failed to get an estimate, among whom were J. H. DeBurger and George Ward. The total gross receipts will aggregate close to $500.
 These figures could have been multiplied by ten almost as ea- silly as not. None of these pro- ducers claim to have lost much time from their crops to earn this money. Instead of a dozen shippers there could have been 120 and the money brought into the community would have swelled the bank deposits many thousands of dollors, and fur nished many people who are pinched at this particular season with sufficient cash to put them on easy street for several months to come. ,... 4Is n
 The Tribune hopes to see a general revival of the berry in- dustry here. There is no need for further demonstration to prove that success can be at- tained. It is already a success. When our growers can make money by local shipments in competition to those of Crawford, Washington and Benton coun- ties, who daily shipped out by the car and train load, a blind man can see what can be done here with the proper effort. .oh
 Lets have an organization of growers and put at least 100 acres to strawberries next sea- son. .--,..,.z ea1. x
