School Begun

The schools of Forrest City, both white and colored, began last week with large attendance, especially when we consider the extreme heat. The first few days were devoted principally to organization, and other preliminar- ieS, and they are now getting down to business in dead earnest.
 Mir. Steele, the new principal at Crowley Ridge Institute, is an earnest and indefatigable worker, and is meet ing with the hearty cooperation of the entire corps of teachers and the Board and patrons. His reign begins under the most favorable signs of sue cess, and our school promises to be thoroughly trst-class.
 Mir. Steele informs THE TINES that the enrolment of the Forrest City school continues to grow until at present the registration has reached the 330 mark. In the High School there are S5 pupils, and in the present ratio the total enrolment will reach 400 for the session. There are more pupils from out of town than ever be- fore.
 All entrance examinations have been held and good showing was made
 The hot days continue to postpone the regular work and delays the rising of school spirit.
 The new fountains are nearing com pletion and would have been installed several days ago had 1t not been for the scarcity of labor.
 The scout movement is very visible in school and it's effect is being appre- ciated. The department of the scout in school is notably good and is in. fiuencing others.
 An athletic association is in state of formation and it is expected that foot ball team will be put on the grid iron. and games will be scheduled with Brinkley during the month of October.

satisfaction Of attending County Fair in this County. We have long hoped for this, and there are a num- Der Of prominent and earnest men in the county who are ready at any time to lend their time, money, brains, energy or anything they have, to the accomplishment of this great enter. prise. We want q St Francis Coun- ty Agricultural, Horticultural and Stock Fair
 It will be q great boon to every far mer in the County, who would profit by it's educational, social and intel lectual features.
 But we have no Fair now, and may not have for several years. unless we can get the active cooperation of those others who are interested. l meeting could be held, the matter discussed, and start made, we veri- ly believe that we could have Fair next fall or the fall after There must be start made
 In this connection, as we have no Fair. we should improve our oppor- tuniuies in other channels along simi- lar lines and take advantage of the Arkansas on Wheels" train, to ad. vertise our resources.
 MT Nat Norton has promises of several good specimens of cotton, corn etc, to exhibit on the "Arkan- sas on Wheels train which starts North and East about October 20th, in which space has been reserved by enterprising citizens of this city for the purpose of exhibiting the pro- ducts of the county. These gentle men have subscribed Sl50 for this purpose, and it ought to be a matter of pride and deep interest to every citizen to see that good showing is made. 1t costs you nothing but the efforts to bring your specimens to MT. Norton-he will do the rest. He very much desires good specimens of Irish potatoes, and so far has none pro- missed. If you have any, bring them in at once. so that they can be pro- perly packed, labeled, and sent along, and if you have good samples of sweet potatoes, or in fact of any kind of product of the soil of this county, bring it in. We raise the best of everything in this county, and we want to sight 'em."

OUR COUNTY AND STATE FAIR.
frepared by Lewis F. Hutchins. Deputy Commissioner of
 Agriculture.


 A fair should be educational-not only to our citizens, but to outsiders. In fact, the fair has no good reasons for It's existence except as an educa- tlonal institution. One large exhibi- tor at the Louisiana State Fair re- gently stated that the Fair had, dur ing the past few years, been worth more than sl0O000 to him in an edu- cational way. It will be worth as much to anyone else who attends with the desire to secure benefits from the Fair. A trip to a County or State Fair Is always worth more than the time and money spent. Those select ed to judge the live stock and agri- cultural exhibits. always explain the reasons for their decisions They call attention to the superior qualities of one animal over another, they call at tention to tine better points of each agricultural product exhibited. They may and should enlarge upon the methods of producing the best pro- ducts. Frequently a class of boys are allowed to judge the exhibits first Then the judges explain why this boy is right in his opinion and why the other boy is wrong The boys are not the only ones who pro- Tt by this boy judging contest The older people are more interested be- cause of it and hence gain greater in- formation themselves.
 Each farmer should exhibit his very best products and he should take pride in his exhibits. They may not be perfect, but exhibits are not all ways perfect, but they do represent the very best which is produced by each farmer. If you win prize you are stimulated to greater efforts. If you do not win prize, you want to know why and should be encouraged to do better next time If one man exhibits better corn. better hogs or anything that is better than yours, find out how he did these things Nothing educates one so rapidly as an actual demonstration of what others in the County or in the State are do- ing. Knowledge is best gained from observing what others have done, then finding out how they did it. Nothing inspires and stimulates a man to greater efforts, nothing intro duces better methods of farming like a properly conducted public fair.
 The County Fairs should be held in advance of the State Fair in order that the best products of the one may be taken to and exhibited at the other. Make the County Fair feeder for the State Fair. Arrange to attend your County Fair, the State Fair at Hot Springs, or the Western Arkan- sas Fair at Fort Smith. You will never regret the time and money spent.
 Never before have the eyes of the world been on Arkansas as now Her wonderful resources are heraded far and wide The Fair is one of the best means of attracting the atten- ti0n of the World 10 her vast resour- ces and possibilities. Boost the Fairs. Send exhibits 10 them. Attend tEem.

THRIFTY NEBRAsKAN.

For years and years The Forum has
urged the farmers of North Dakota to
shift from the one-crop wheat idea.
There are other and better methods OF
farming. Some Of the residents Of the
state have seen the folly of continuing
in the old way and are making a
change. Many Of them are succeed
ing under the new plans.
Along this idea of diversifyinR and
using the products of the farm to feed
live stock, e. L. Bowers Of Verndon,
Neb., furnishes a splendid illustration:
He recently marketed 1887 hogs
within two weeks. They averaged 262
pounds apiece and sold at an average
price OF 1926 6-1O per hundredweight.
bringing him in all $27,74O.92.
These hogs were bred, raised and
fattened on Mr.. Bowers farmland he
used no feed which was not produced
on his own land.
With this plan Of doing business
more North Dakotans could be paving
cash for their big touring car.

WEIGH YOUR PURCHASES.

Among the many reasons assigned
for the increased cost of living few
come nearer the truth than the state
ment that the consumer-as a usual
thing-does not get all he pays for,
Many package goods are invariably of
short weight-as will be shown by
emptying the package and weighing the
contents. The same is also true of
many purchases which are made in
bulk. A sack of potatoes sometimes
weighs but eighty or ninety pounds-in-
stead o. the 100 pounds which are paid
for. One way for the purchaser to
protect himself from dishonest weights
and measures is to weigh his pur-
chases--and insist upon getting all he
pays for If this were done more gem
orally 1t would be but a short time
till the dealers would have to do a
more careful business to hold their
trade.

IMMIGRANTS NEEDED.

North Dakota is famous for its
wheat. 1t grows more flax than any
state in the union. 1t is in fair way
to gain reputation as corn state.
But farming in North Dakota is vet
in its infancy Only small percentage
Of the states arabic land is in cultiva-
ton. Many thousands of acres under
the pillow are cultivated in name only
What North Dakota needs is more
farming-and better farming.
The state has an area of nearly
$1,000 square miles-and the census of
year ago showed it had less than
100000 population. There Is room for
many more. The soil has the fertility
to raise supplies to feed millions more.
There Is opportunity for manufacturing
that would give occupation to hundreds
OF thousands of people. What North
Dakota needs is more people to prop
srly develop the state.
Over 100000 immigrants came to
the United States in 1910.
One-third Of these newcomers were
farmers or farm laborers in their old
homes.
Yet only $4,000 of these farm people
ever got to the agricultural districts
OF America.
Nearly 100000 sturdy farmers and
farm laborers remained in New York
through force Of circumstances.
They wanted to farm, but did not
know how to begin in a strange land.
SO they joined the crowded tenement
dwellers and did not reach the broad
acres awaiting farmers in North Da-
kota and elsewhere in the northwest.

course he won the case.
However, before he went into the
court he had told Mrs. Frame that he

character of the bookkeeper has been
such that the court might decide in his
favor, because of his past record for
honesty and truthfulness.

him, for having lost (as she presuned),
