DESTROY THE WEEDS.
And Thereby Save Yourselves Much
Labor and Money.

The following article in National
Farmer" is applicable to the Arkan-
sas valley and is deserving OF atten-
ton OF the valley farmers.
There is nothing that looks rice
to the average spectator than well
planted and cultivated field of cult
waited crops, 1t is during period OF
drought that weeds make the largest
growth and at time when the eco
nomic plants are retained in growth
for want of the proper amount OF
moisture in the ground. 1t is during
the month of July particularly, hat
weeds take on a fast growth. by ma
ture to obtain possession OF the fields
and crowd out good crops that the
farmer wishes to raise.
A crop OF weeds destroyed during
their early stages OF growth means d
great saving of labor and money to
the farmer, later in the season when
the crop is harvested. A carefully
weeded field is a characteristic of
good farming, and i'll more particu-
lar manner it reflects the farmer
personality and character and an abil-
ity to do things well such as he under
takes to do.
Take for example a sugar beet
field, carefully planted, well blocked
and thinned, thoroughly cultivated
and properly weeded, will undoubted-
ly reflect on the Judgment, ability and
the power of stick-to-it-ive-ness to
his business of such a man and grower
of the crop.
Destroy the weeds in your fields
for this reason as well as for the
money saving reason, and money
making reasons. We are told by our
environments, and let it be the best
kind if we can make t Sc

ONE HUNDRED DREADN0UGHTs
Rapid Progress in Building Sea Fight
ers Of New Type in the Last
Six Years.

New York, Aug. 1S.-With the plac-
ing of contracts today for two war
ships of the Dreadnought type by the
Turkish government, the number OF
such vessels now afloat, in process OF
construction or contracted for by the
leading nations of the world reached
grand total of exactly one hundred.
The ambition of Turkey to become
lBreadnought naval power, announced
some time ago, was definitely realized
today. and the government of Chile
also entered the lists this year by
placing orders for two Dreadnoughts
The action of Chile followed that of its
neighbor and rival, Argentina, which
has two Dreadnoughts building. Bra
iii has two Dreadnought type warships
and another building, thus giving
South America a prospective total OF
seven giant battleships and rendering
the friendship of the Latin-American
republics a. thing to be desired.
The first Dreadnought was begun by
the British government only six years
ago, and the great activity since then
is a tribute to the supposed supremacy
! of this type of sea fighter, Great Brit
ain leads in the number of Dread
thoughts, with Germany second and the
United States third These three ma
lions. with Brazil, are the only ones
having Dreadnoughts completed and
ready for their death-dealing business
France has not solitary Dreadnought
afoat. although four have been or
dered by that nation. Japan has two
Dreadnoughts launched and nearing
completion, and five more building or
ordered. Italy, Austria and Russia
each have one Dreadnought launched,
but not yet in commission, and each
OF these powers has ordered three
more
OF the hundred Dreadnoughts com
pleted. building or soon to be COM
menced. the division among nations is
ras follows: Great Britain, 80; Ger
many, 81: United States, IL; Japan, I;
France. 4: Italy, 4; Austria, 4: Russia,
a: Brazil, 8; Spain, g. Argentina, :;
Chile, q and Turkey, ?.
The largest and most powerful
Dreadnought now afoat is the German
vessel Thuringen. which has dis
placement of 22,S0O tons and IS armed
with twelve 1872 inch, fourteen 80 inch
and fourteen "a inch guns The Rus
sian ships are the most costly, as the
Russian minister of marine recently
announced that they would cost, com
pleted. about $15,OO0,00O each. How
much of this will go into the pockets
of persons who need the money is
a matter for conjecture.
Larger and larger guns are the rule
in Dreadnought building. Germany
started with II inch, later adopted 12.2
inch, and will put IA inch guns in the
eight Dreadnoughts now building. This
country, Japan and Chile will mount
i13.5 inch guns in the vessels now be-
ing constructed. The United States
Russia. Italy and Austria have adopted
the system of placing three guns in a
turret for the newer vessels.

London. Aug. 1S.-While the closing
of parliament tonight brings to lull,
| for time at least, political events In
England. much interest Is manifested
here over the Canadian elections. The
London papers are giving much space
TO the speeches of both Premier Lau-
rier and Mr.. Borden, leader of the
opposition. A noteworthy feature OF
the campaign to which the British pa
pers are calling attention is the argu-
ments for and against the reciprocity
pact with the United States that have
been advanced by President Taft and
some members Of the American senate
and congress. A comparison OF the
many speeches in the Canadian cam
paign shows them to have startling
likeness to those heard in Washington
before the reciprocity agreement was
passed.
