OH, YOU ARKANSAS!

You just simply can't head off old Arkansas.
 She has the hottest springs and the greatest health resort in the world, the finest pearls in the world, the only diamond mines in America, the largest spring in the world, and other great things ad libitum.
 But not satisfied with the other great things of his State, comes Lee Speers, of Paragould, with a family of girls, who, for size, are no doubt world-beaters.
 Their aggregate age is il years and their aggregate weight 981 pounds. Miss EIma, aged 17, weighs 389 pounds; Miss Edna, who is 15, weighs 200; Miss Velma, who is only six, weighs 206, and is going after her elder sisters rec ord as fast as her mother can let out her clothes. But the baby, who is only three, is the most promising youngster of the family. She is three years old and weighs 126 pounds, which is a growth of 37 pounds a year. If she keeps up the record until she is 19, she will weigh 718 pounds and will make the ordinary girl look like a broken umbrella rib.
 The parents are both of ordi- nary size, and the father very gracefully attributes the remark able size of his daughters to the fact that they were reared in Arkansas whose very atmosphere contains an air of greatness.

Senator Webb Covington

Senator Webb Covington of Johnson county has recently whipped two newspaper editors who published things that reflect ed rather unpleasantly upon his public record. This is the same Covington who was several times indicted by the Pulaski grand jury for alleged boodling in that notor- iously corrupt legislature of 1905, in which one of the present saints of this county played an import ant part. Coyington is a great big fellow, physically, and may be able to whip a whole bunch of editors, but if he undertakes to thrash all the people in the state who believe him to be a dirty ras- cal and a political crook, he will have a big job on his hands. And even if he should accomplish the feat, we seriously doubt if 1t would add very much to the pubHcs es- timate of his integrity.

TEACH NE ANYTHING?-
 NOT ON YOUR TINTYPE!

The Quorum Court, which IS composed principally of farmers, refused to make an appropriation for continuing the agricultural demonstration work in this coun- ty, doubtless on the theory that you can't teach a farmer anything about farming.
 This idea is today the worlds greatest hindrance to the progress and success of the average work man in any and all trades.
 When the average workman has served a few years at a trade, or has just about finished an ap- premiership. and reached the point where he could really begin to learn, he takes it as an insult to his intelligence if one offers a helpful suggestion, or intimates that he is lacking in proficiency, or that there is anything else he could learn.
 The greatest drawback to the majority of people is their unwill- ingness to be taught. This doesnot apply alone to farmers, but to nearly all classes of people.
 If the government should offer to send an expert printer to Inde- pendence county to give free demonstrations and instructions in printing, we doubt very much if he would be sent if 1t were left to a vote of the printers of the coun- ty. We say this because we are a printer and know its true.
 Let a veteran in any trade offer helpful suggestion to a junior, and see the juniors offended dig nity swell up like a poisoned pup. If he doesn't treat 1t with silent contempt, his answer will usually be: "T'ell wid yer advice; don't you s'pose 1 known what I'm doin?'
 It was not expected that the middle-aged or the old men would receive any benefit, or be taught anything, from the farm demon stration work-they are Solomons in their line already. Some of them have been farming for 20 years-with a one-horse turning blow and Georgia stock and are still using them.
 It is not expected that this sort of folks will be benefited by any kind of educational movement.
 They are entirely too wise to fool away time on such nonsense as book farmin.'
 To them, its a waste of time and too much trouble to study seed selection. They know when they want to grow corn they must not plant gourd seed, and they know that pumpkins do not grow on grape vines. When the seasons are just right they can grow g bushels of corn or half a bale of cotton to the acre and when the rains don't come just righteous the weather and blame Providence for their failure.
 But there are boys and young men to be taught, and who are yet willing to learn. Some of these, in different parts of the state, un- der instructions from the govern ment agents, have'produced 80 to 125 bushels of corn per acre, on land their daddIes had been grow ing Is to 30 bushels on. This feature of the work has been neg lected in Independence county, but this could have been remedied very easily, and it should have been done, instead of cutting off the appropriation.
 The old farmers have lost noth- ing. Most of them are too wise to learn anything from the work, and do not need it. But to the boys and younger men of our county, who are willing to be taught, and who are largely our only hope for agricultural prog

It's a good idea to wait on the cor
until you are sure it is safe to b

The bright November day is colder

golden in value this year.
II seems to me that every veal
brings along new worry in an agri
cultural way, something that will
eventually "eat us alive" if we dc
not straightway put it down. Iheard
a man say, the other day, that the
foxtail grass would eventually drive
him out of house and home if he
could not conquer it. That is his
worry now. It is no new one to me.

The hardest things to get done is
the thing you put off to do a little
later, when you have more time. :"
Quite often road work is this very
thing. Some states designate the
time when all road work, accept
necessary repairing, shall be done,
then the road officials straightway
pay no attention to the time designat-
ed. We have so many laws that are
not enforced that it is no wonder
many of the more important are
gnored and the transgressors except
