PHONES ON SOUTHERN FARMS

In the last year in 10 cities in the
south, through their chambers of COM
merce or through some organization
of the merchants and business men,
have taken practical steps to induce
farmers to build telephone lines and
connect with their towns.
Funds have been raised to assist
the farmer in a financial way, and,
according to Progress, the result has
been even more successful and graft
flying than was expected.
Farmers in Georgia and Alabama
are now selling their cotton and other
produce by telephone at higher prices
than they formerly obtained when
they first drove to town and ran the
risk of finding conditions unfavora-
ble
The plan under which farmers Sc
cure universal telephone service and
connection with the comprehensive
Bell system contemplates that
group OF farmers Dand together IN
cooperative organization, build the
line and purchase the equipment. This
requires small cash expenditure,
but the farmers own the telephones,
wires and other material.
The line is connected with the Bell
svs5cal flat charge being made for
service. This monthly charge is very
low and when divided among the
farmers on the line is an advantage
rather than an objection in rural dis
tricts. 1t enables a farmer in an
emergency to call every one of his
neighbors to his assistance without |
loss of time.

HOW TO ORGANIZE A
SCHOOL IMPROVE
MENT ASSOCIATION

AS | have received many letters
asking for information in regard to
the School Improvement Association,
/ will answer through the columns of
the Log Cabin Democrat and Arkan-
sas Farmer, as they reach nearly ev-
cry home in Faulkner county.
The s. l. A. work and its organiza-
lion was ably and fully explained at
the teachers institute, which was held
at the public schoolhouse in this city
the first week in June. AS many of
the teachers could not attend this in
stitute, however, to them and to the
mothers of our county, | will try to
explain the work.
First, the object of the association
is to have frst-class school buildings
in each district.
Second, the consolidation of school
districts which permits patrons of
any rural territory to petition the
county court for the organization of
special district having all the rights
previously allowed only to schools in
cities and towns.
Third the association is to the
school board what the Ladies Aid is
to the church benevolent work-the
power behind the throne. When a
board of trustees secures a building
provides seats, stove, a cord or two
of wood, and engages a teacher they
think they have done their duty. In
a measure they have, as it takes the
most of their time to provide the nv
ing for their families. So we mothers
decided to bear part of the burden
and see that suitable building is
provided for our children where they
spend so much of their time, see that
the building is we'll lighted, furnished
with comfortable seats, interesting
pictures on the walls, maps, charts
blackboards, shades for the windows
individual drinking cups and an acre

TRIP, S. D., May ls.-(Special)1
Eight troops Of United states cavalry, y
full pack train and several civic organi-

eNcursionists that they will meet the boost
ers at Sturgis, 5. u. The soldiers at Fort
Meade intend to make it a big day. They
will fire sautes as the train enters the
city on the hill.
What is promised at Sturgis is typical of
the reception being given the Omahans on
every hand Those who meet them do not
talk on mere generalities. They say
frankly that South Dakota needs Omaha
They want competition on prices and a
release from the necessity of buying in
one or two markets, perhaps smaller than
the Omaha market.
Much grain is being promised the Omaha
party from the great fields of South Da-
kota, while representatives, of Omaha
creameries on boaIu have secured many
consignments of cream. The railroad con-
dtions are such tnat cream shipments will
reach Omaha on the same day as from the
average point in Nebraska. These kinds
of grain and cream are coming to Omaha
in larger quantities than before 1t is
Minneapolis or Chicago for grain on the
Armour line at present, but Omaha will
now be formidable rival
The struggle of Sioux City to create a
market for this grain is declared to be a
failure and the enterprising grain dealers
are quick to grasp the situation that
Omaha will supply the market and compete
with any market in the country on prices.
