Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York April S-(Special.) )-Liverpool cables were good and the weather map was generally satisfactory. Crop reports as shown by Bradstreet were uniformly fine, but some dozen points in Texas com planed of too much rain. Warmer weather is needed in Louisiana. On the whole, the outlook is excellent, and this deterred buying during the earlier day Later on the selling of May, with July buying, was the feature, and some de- mand for new crops followed, which brought a show of animation to the mar ket toward the close. Trade journals re- port a slightly better goods outlook but fear of tariff legislation prevents broad ening of the market.

Monologue By Modern Mother

From Judge.
 Now it's time for you to start for school, Reggie. darling. Good-by No don't kiss me! How many times must I tell you that kissing is insanitary7 < "Oh, child! how could you pat the dog? Now we must steriize your hands all over again and steam them and then use the antiseptic spray on them There! Now, here are your aptiseptic gloves. Get your hands into them quickly.
 And here's your individual car strap. Be careful not to touch any other.
 And here are two tubes of germicide and vaporizer; gargle every even hour from this bottle. and sniff this one every odd hour.
 Heres your doctors certificate in it's antiseptc case. Show 1t to the teacher if he insists on cutting out your tonsis again. and tell him I'm sure your ade- holds have not grown again since your operation last week.
 Now run along, dearie. Don't breathe when the wind is blowing or any dust flying or any people passing. Don't breathe at all If you can help it.'

Farm Communism Again

From the New YOrk Mall.
 Jndaunted by the fate which overlook Upton Sinclairs Helicon Hall project, a little group of enthusiasts have estab- lished Fellowship Farm No. 1 at Wash wood, Mass, near Dedham. IA miles from Boston. They have adopted the idea of back to the land" An expert instructor in farming, gardening and poultry rais- ing is a member of the group. --.le success of the Fellowship farmers from the first is thus insured and the benefits of intensive farming are made manifest. Markets for eggs, chickens and other products are procured for members. The scheme is under the general direction of Geofge Elmer Littlefield, who has writ ten a little book on How One Fellow Makes an Honest Living on the Land and is a Free Man"

 The Financier will say:
 The reports of the New York clear ing house banks for the week ending April S. based both on average ana actual conditions, were greatly at Vari- ance with the known operations o. these institutions. The banks really gained about s5,O00,000 in cash as the result of their operations with the trea surv and the interior institutions, but in the actual conditions report 1s- sued Saturday the increase in cash was almost negligible. amounting 10 s5S1900 while the report of the daliy avera ges showed an actual decrease Tn specie and legals amounting to .S4'- 7S1,S00.
 The banks. according to the actual condition report. decreased their loans s2.594,500 and their deposits $S,oS4,3oo, while the average renort loans de- creased about two and one-third mii- lion dollars and deposits decreased Si,- 73S,50O. The result of these confus- ing charges was that the reverse Tn the actual condition report rose Sl,- e77975, the surplus standing at S27,- 775,575. while in the report of averages the reserve decreased s2.936,975, the surplus standing at s26,47s.325.
 Probably the explanation of the con- fusing and conflicting statement is found in the summary of trust com panies and other outside institutions, which showed for the week eXpan- sion of s13542.3o0 in loans and an in crease of s1S,2S1,100 in net deposits accompanied by a gain of $3.176,500 in cash To what extent the statements of the banks and trust comDanies were influenced by April dividends and in- terest settlement it Is difficult to say but to the quarterly adjustment period the wide variations must be attributed

However the doctors may be divided as to the harmfulness of alcohol in general, they are agreed that 1t is not the thing for hot weather, and those who are not its slaves carefully avoid it at such times.

CHAMPION HARD LUCK YARN Tout Who Was Following Ponies Has Tough Experience With
 Stingy Horseman.

In the days when the race tracks were doing big business the so- called race track touts were always in evidence at every meeting and the hard luck stories these fellows could tell were never eXcelled by any other single class of individuals. One of the best of these stories concerns a tout who was following the ponies and who reached an eastern city when a race meeting was about to open. The tout was broke and. ac- costing rather stingy horseman of his acquaintance, told him of his predicament. "Why, I haven't had a thing to eat in two days" said the tout. "Well," said the horseman. "step in here to this restaurant and I'll buy you something" With vis- ions of big meal the poor tout fol- lowed the stingy horseman into the restaurant. ''Give this party glass of milk and piece of custard pie" said the horseman to one of the walters. Gee" said the tout, "I thought I was going to get some meat" "Change that order from custard pie to mince pie" said the horseman as he left dime on the counter and went out.

CANADA NEVER HAD LYNCHING
Respect for Law InstiIed Through Centuries of British Rule Is
 the Reason.

"When a Canadian visits the United States and reads in your pa- pers of the outrageous lynchings that frequently occur in the south, it sur prises and shocks him." said An drew Shearer, solicitor of Montreal, at the Raleigh. "Such thing as a lynching was never known in Can- ada, though, I suppose, that occasion ally crimes are committed that arouse the people to an intense state of horror and indignation.
 "Such is the respect for the law, however, instilled in the people through centuries of British rule, that no one would think of raising a hand against an officer of the law. 1 have seen crowds around a prisoner guilty of committing murder or oth- CT crime that arouses the wrath of the people, but there never is an att tempt to injure him. The law must take its course, and the people never interfere. It is astonishing to Cana dians, therefore, to read of the law lessness that exists in some parts of the United States" ."-Washington Post.

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR
1t Reflects Local Enterprise and Pub. lie Pride. 1t stimulates Public
 Progress.

If your county is going to have a fair this fall, give it your actual and moral support. Be one to do some thing towards its success. You can select something from among the best of your products to exhibit. Take it to your fair. You may win prize, and if you do it will stimulate others to better efforts. The county fair is to the industrial nature of commu- nity what a good school is to its edu cational nature, and a big revival to it's moral nature. If you don't win a prize you will be stimulated by the success of your neighbor, and make better efforts next year. Every good county fair is worth to it's county ten times what it costs. The county fair should also be made an auxiliary of the state fair. It should be feeder tc the State Fair as the short lines are to the trunk lines of railroad. From the county fair the best ex- hibits should be sent to the State Fair. That helps to put your county and town on the map, and advertise it to the world. Who can tell the amount of money and thrifty immi- grafton a good exhibit at the State Fair may bring to your section. This is the way to build up your section and promote the common prosperity of your people.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE
 STATE FAIR?
Isn't It High Time the People of Arkansas Were Waking Up and
 Getting in the Procession of Proq- ress With Other Hustling States?

As citizen what do you say about
 thls? As farmer merchant, manu- facturer Or professional man, what
 do you say? Do you want to see the
 Arkansas State Fair grow in extent of exhibits and widen in scope of in fluence and usefulness? How much
 nave you helped in the past to bring
 this about, and how much are you going to do along this line this year? Let us have a little quiet heart-to- heart talk about it. Every progress sive state in the Union has a state fair Most of them have great expo sitions. They have been made so by popular interest taken by the people and by liberal legislative aid. Moth ing inspires and stimulates progress slve effort, imparts industrial educa- tion or introduces advanced methods of production, like high-class public fair. No agency is more potent as an advertising medium to attract the at tention of the world to the resources and advantages of state or section of a state. To all of this you readily assent. Then won't you determine right now, to become a factor in the Arkansas State Fair this year? Don { think of it as Hot Springs fair" It was never so designated. It is local to Hot Springs only in the fact that it is held there. But this is a for tunate circumstance to the state, for more strangers from all sections of the country visit Hot Springs, than any other city in the state, and hence have a chance to learn of our mar vicious resources, which otherwise they would never hear of While the citizens of Hot Springs have at their own expense maintained the fair for six years, their design is, and has been, for it to be in all respects what the name implies-a State Fair. Cant you show something worth while at the fair this fall? Won't you do so? At least. you can attend and see the big show. Write for premium list

FEATURE CROPS.

In the South we may
 ordinarily get two crops leach year from most of our
 land. Yet few of us get
 them. In fact, few of us
 really appreciate the fact Ithat if our agricultural op- ! portunitieS are greater here |than elsewhere, it is mainly because our climate permits l the double crop system. We can follow oats by cow-peas, l the early crop of potatoes be followed by a late |crop, peas or crimson clover may be sown in the cotton and corn. Thus may we build up our soil while utilizing it to the utmost. We need to plant more forage crops. If we make the cheapest and best meat. we must have several fields Of cow-peas, soy-beans, pea nuts, sweet potatoes, patch es of rape and bermuda pas lures. We can produce cheaper and better meat here than elsewhere, but we can't do this unless we have plenty of pasture land and forage crops. We can't pro. duce cheap meat on corn alone.
 This system of live stock farming will reduce our meat bills,, our grocery bills, our fertilizer bills. We shall De able to put aside the pro- ceeds of our cotton sales as so much surplus money. The lertllltllity of our soils will increase and the general prosperity of our people will Increase.
 We should establish a sys- tenn of permanent pastures. Tut the idle acres to work sioWlhg forage crops or bermuda. Try bermuda and white clover, bermuda and fed-top, or bermuda and les pedeza. When a piece of land does not give the re- : sults that it should give, do not turn 1t out to weeds, but put It In pasture. Keep it at work.
