WHAT'S 4 BOY WORTH?

Some one has figured 1t out that boy who is dependent upon his parents for a livelihood until he is twenty-one years old costs them two thousand dollars.
 On this basis of calculation q brood, for instance, of five boys would represent an outlay of ten thousand dollars by the time they get away from the home roost.
 The question arises, does itpay to raise boys, and are there no oth- CT crops that would prove more profitable?
 Ii d boy turns out to be cigar cite fend, with a breath like turkey buzzard, and a laugh that would make the untutored donkey feel perfectly at home in his society and with an untrammeIed and un- conquerable desire to avoid work, it IS safe to say that his parents might have invested their two thousand dollars to a much better advantage
 But If the boy grows up toman- hood with a high sense of honor and the lesson well learned that that success grows only on bushes that are well watered by the sweat of ones brow, the parents will never have cause to regret the money they have spent onhim for he will be a source of fincreas- ing pride and joy to their hearts, and when they grow old and their hands tremble and their legs Wab- ble and their step is slow and faIt-' ering, they have two strong arms to lean upon and help them over all the rough places that lie in their twilight path
 Yes, it pays to raise the right kind of boys.

The total value of fam lands and buildings in Arkansas, accord to the 1910 census, is $308, 129,000, as against $135,1S2,000 in 1900, an increase of 12S per cent.

worthy of the best efforts of the
club. Much improvement has been
and is being done. such as putting in
cement walks, making lawns, plant
ing trees and shrubs, laying out of
boulevards, etc. Still much more can
be done. Advertising the village will
be discussed further. Many matters
oil less importance should not be over

is to encourage the present splendid
growth OF the village. This can be
done by the individual in ways that
