The real development of Southern
coal resources began about 1850, when
100000 tons of the 100000 tons
produced in the country were mined
in the South. Since then the South
has been contributing greater and

lust as coal mining in the whole
country has hardly made an appreci-
able impression upon the total supply
of coal. SO. if the South should con-
tinue to mine coal at the rate OF last
year, 1t would take moro than 5000
years 10 exhaust the estimated sup
ply. There arc in the South SS.666
square miles of workable coal fields,
more than a quarter of such area In

miles in Arkansas, 5000 square miles
in Missouri, and $500 square miles in
Texas that may contain workable coal,
while, in addition. there are $4,000

and greater burdens of taxation would be placed upon the farmers overburdened shoulders. Lack of funds raised by taxation would curtail the schools of the country towns. Churches now so largely supported by the home merchants could no longer be kept supplied with ministers unless the farmer members heavily increased their contributions. Public spirit. would be destroyed, public institutions would suffer and public Improvements become a thing of the past.
 The plain fact is that the interests of the farmer and the home merchant are mutual. They are partners in the business of production and dis tribution-in the upbuilding and maintenance of the best possible home market. And the best home market is one that buys everything the farmer has to sell at top market prices and sells him everything he needs at fair competitive prices.
 Therefore, MT. Farmer, stand by your home merchants now as you would expect them to stand by you. In doing this you are conserving your best nterests.-Trade Exhibit.

APACHES WILL RETURN
 TO OLD ARIZONA HAUNTS
It IS Announced That the Government Will Send GerOnimo's Band
 Back Home Soon

Lawton, Okla, Oct. 19.-After hay ing been prisoners of war on the mili- tary reservation at Ft. Sill for more than twenty i've years, old Chief Geronimo's band of Apache Indians probably will he sent back to Arizona and given allotments ot land. Ger onimo died several years ago.
 Hetotore the government has de- nied the requests of the Indians to be permitted to go back to their old home but nov it is found that the presence of the Iudiaus on the reser- vation interferes with it's use for army purposes and the officers are eager to get rid of them on that ac- count.
 When the Apaches were first brought here they were real wild" Indians, but gradually they have learned the ways of civilization and in few years became self supporting by farming and stock raising. Some of them are now well of and they especially since the death of Geron- imo. Many of the original prisoners have died, but the aggregate ofithem is larger than the original band, due to natural increase.
 Col. Hugh L. Scott and Col. Edward St. J. Creole of the general staff, in vestigated the condition of the pris- oners and then departed for the southwest to see if land could not be set aside for the band. A party of .he Indians will be permitted to go to Arizona and look over the land be- fore a decision is made.

trust. Already Wall street sees the trend of events and "big business" has become interested in fostering 9 and financing the parcels post agita- tion. Its appetite has been stimuli ated by the results of the past few years, which have enabled one mail order house to pay an annual divi- dend of per cent on its many mill lions of capital, and recently to de- clare a special divided of B 1-3 per cent. What farmer can ever hope to equal that record?
 The big-city mail order merchants pay no taxes of any kind-direct or indirect-in your community. They do not help maintain your schools, churches, libraries, hospitals and other public institutions. They do not help you build and maintain good roads. They do not give you credit and they give you neither sympathy nor help when misfortune comes. These big-city merchants have abso- lutely no interest in you, excepting to get hold of as many of your dol lars as they can and give as little return as possible.
 Furthermore. the ig-city merchant does not help in any way to maintain and build up the home market for your products that enables you to get spot cash or it's equivalent for every thing you have to sell. Your location near such town inc1 eases the value of your farm and makes that farm easy to sell at full value whenever you desire.
 You appreciate the fact that the farmer trade keeps up the country towns and that any system-such as the parcels post-which will divert the farmer trade from the country town to the big city will ruin the country town.
 Ii the country town is ruined, the farmers home market will be destroy | ed or at least very seriously impaired. | Property values in the country towns would certainly depreciate as store after store was forced out of business

Arizona at the Dry Farming Congress

University of Arizona agricultural over their trip to the dry farming congress at Denver. They feel that the money for the trip was we'll spent, and that they got for Arizona all that could be expected, and rather more than they went with the idea of securing.
 "Secretary Frazier of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce and myself were in charge of the Arizona exhi- bit, which was all from Yavapai county, at the dry farming congress-" said Prof. McOmie. Ut included corn, beans, potatoes, cabbage, beets, milo-maize, Kaffir corn, broom corn, wheat, barley, millet, buckwheat, apples, pears, peaches, plums, and small mineral collection.
 'We made thirty entries for prizes, and we took Is firsts, four seconds and three third prizes; a total of 23 out of a possible 30. We took first on white dent corn, against all competi- tion. In the exhibits our strongest competitors were Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. Oklahoma was the strongest competitor. We took sec cond on yellow dent corn. And we took first on all fruit. In this line we had still more active competitors Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Ore gon, Washington and Oklahoma. We took first and second on Ben Davis apples.
 "We not only took these prizes, but we were given advertising that was worth much to the territory; in fact; we owe much to the newspapers of Denver. The Post published cut of Secretary Frazier holding a basket of Arizona peaches in his hand, and a half column about Arizona beans.
 "We made bid for the holding of the meeting of the congress in Ari- zona next year, and came so near get ting it that it scared us. Secretary Frazier did the talking for us on that. The next meeting of the congress did go to Leithbridge; Canada. How ever, it might come to Arizona next year, and it is we'll for us to be ready for it.
 "It was selected, with a Wyoming man, to judge the threashed grains shown at the congress. Prof. Clothier and myself were both invited to speak before the congress.
 What with the talking our delega- tion did and the talking the exhibit from Yavapai county did, Arizona spoke to betweet 12,OOO and 15,OOO people at that congress, large per centage of whom had no conception ot this country save as place Of cowboys and miners. When we show ed them that she was good for some- thing else they opened tfeir eyes"

Rural Parcels Post

The advocates of the rural parcels post claim that. this system of mer- chandise transportation would enable the farmer to have small packages of merchandise delivered at his mail box quickly and cheaply.
 No one disputes this-but there are two more sides to the question. Here is one:
 Every rural delivery carrier is now authorized to carry merchandise parcels weighing over four pounds from your farm to town or from town to your farm-and you or the town man, pay the carrier whatever you agree is right. The proposed postage charge would average much higher than what you would pay under the present system of local delivery. Now there is no maximum weight limit, for the carrier can take anything for you that he is able to carry, but it is proposed to limit the weight so eleven pounds only. This would greatly curtail the delivery privileges now open to every farmer who desires to use them and make delivery cost him more than under the present method.
 Here is another side of the question the side seen by your good friends the home merchants:
 Big-city merchants of ell kinds would be quick to seize the rural par cels post as a delivery outlet, through the use of local agents, to whom par cels would be shipped in large quanti- ties by express or freight for deposit in the local postoffice and delivery by rural carriers. There is absolute ly no way in which this could be pre- vented.
 The opportunity thus afforded these | mail-order houses for the develop | ment of a gigantic trust is a most | serious menace to the farmers vel fare. Every necessary of life could in time be monopolized through this government postal subsidy, taxed against all the people and applied for the sole benefit of the mail order
