but these conditions will only be
local or temporary.
Admitting these facts as a general
proposition, then what is the iney-
liable result in Arkansas?
Regardless Of climate, nature of
soil or any consideration aside from
mere acreage, values are perhaps
lower in Arkansas today than in
any state in the Union. Consider
ing the climate and soil, with it's
wonderful possibilities for diyersi-
fed crops, there is no more stable
and dependable agricultural sections
in the Union Considering the net
returns per acre, even when devoted
to our staple crops, there is no COM
parson in price with lands in other
states; and when devoted to fruits,
vegetables, berries, potatoes and
dozens of other crops that may be
grown, our ordinary upland will
compare in yield With lands that
are valued at 1000 and even more
per acre in the Western fruit belts,
and the money yield per acre is
many times more than is possible in
most fertile lands ia the great corn
and wheat belt that are valued at
500 to $500 per acre
A gentleman from Minnesota re-

these Northern and Western lands
are worth the price at which they
are heidi aud figured in the same
wav Arkansas lands are worth as
much or even more, and the time
is coming when they will be held at
values that will compare with other
sections,
The staple crops, cotton and corn,
in Arkansas will produce enough in
one year to buy the land on which it
is grown; and in fruits, berries and
many other crops, one crop would
buy the land many times over, In
the great grain belt it would take
from two to FIVE crops to do the
same

Why Arkansas Laud Must Increase In

For the past several years the

individuals have claimed Arkansas

that increased prices were newt.

well founded is borne out by the
last census report, which shows
that real estate in Arkansas during
the past 10 Years increased l23 per

Il think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema ! have
ever heard of. MY mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when Il
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but It
did no good. In few days the, head
was solid mass; a running sore. 1t
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got a dollar bottle of cuti-
cura Resolvent, box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar Of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed.
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczelna, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had beautiful head OF hair.
/ think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

UpAoLDrvc THE AMERICAN HEN


There can be no doubt that the hel
deserves all the fame she has received.
and all the good newspaper space that
is allotted her. Whatever concerns
the American hen concerns the great
American public. The other day the
United States court Of customs ap-
peals. sort OF gIorifled legal lexi-
con, decided that bird" was not a
definition for 'hen. In short that a
hen is not bird. says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The hen has feathers,
1t flies. 1t sings, but 1t mustn't be
classified with canaries, wrens. spar
rows and tomtits OF course. this de-
cision wasn't drawn out by any chance
seeker for knowledge. 1t was the re-
suit Of an important Official appeal.
Eggs imported from China-which diff.
fer materially from china eggs are
usually broken out of the shell ard
frozen. The customs officials declared
that these eggs entered into competi-
lion with lHOse VI NHo AhOAASoh hShs
and assessed duty on them OF FIVE
cents dozen. The importers insisted
that the eggs were entitled to admis-
sion free as birds eggs, in accordance
with certain section Of the tariff
They also contended that the eggs
were albumen and only dutiable as
such. But when the question reached
the five judges of the court of appeals
they nobly took the side Of the Ameri-
can hen. declaring that the oriental
product was competitor, that hens
eggs are not birds eggs. and that the
duty levied by the customs officers
should stand.

So impressed was the grand jury
the other day by the evidence present
ed as to the evil caused by pistol car
rying among the rougher element OF
the city that it made special report
to Judge Witt urging that the habit be
broken up without delay. Major Wer-
ner OF the police department was the
chief witness, showing the gravity OF
the situation and the crime and muir
der resulting from the habit, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. The grand
jury believes with him that the matter
ought to be Investigated witheut de-
lay and some remedy adopted. There
can be no question that pistol toting Is
at the root of many crimes, and that
It ought to be checked as far as 1t
lies in the power of the council to
check 1t.
