Thirty Years Together.

Thirty years of association-think of it. How the merit of a good thing stands out in that time-or the worth lessness of bad one. So there's no guesswork in this evidence of Thos.

In Tie St. | rancis Country

George Bowman of Wideners, St Francis county, has sent tothe Memp- his Commercial Appeal an Elberta peach measuring 10 inches around either way, which was grown by him.
 "They told me, says Mr. Bowman II could not raise good fruit on the black land ill the St. Francis bottoms but that is all bosh, for we have straw berries first, blackberries next, rasp- berries. then plums and peaches a fine as can be raised in any place in this country
 MT Bowman says further that if boil Neeyils come. we can raise any, thing here and lots of it" He has lived in several states and says this $ the best country for the poor man To get I start in. He lived for l6 years in northern Illinois but he would not trade the land where he HOW lives, acre for acre. for the land in northern Illinois, as 9e can raise everything they can raise and as much to the acre. and we can raise lots of things they cant grow at all.
 Where is there a better country for the poor man than Arkansas? Not only can many different products be raised. but the farms will yield some thing the whole year round.-Ark- ansas Gazette.

Ho! For a Another Canal.

interested parties, landowners along 1he proposed route, and others. are Selllhg together and will make an euotl to organize an Improvement DIsIrlcI Tor the purpose of digging cana along what is known as the oiotllker road, beginning at the west corpoi aslon line and running due west Io Ahgulile river. on section lines
 Il Is stated that there are no ebsta cieS' no timber to take out. etc. along the proposed route. thus mak Ing IL less expensive than usual: that the landowners generally favor the enterprise, and that such canal Is greatly needed, the damage to grow. Ing crops, lands and improvements oy recent heavy rains having been far Tn excess ot the cost of the proposed canal, and in order to prevent re- cufrence of this unfortunate state of aHalrs these gentlemen are determin- ed 10 succeed. From all the infor nation we could gather, this canal IS sorely needed, and would be great oiessihg 10 the people along the pro- posed route, saving them many times US cost by preventing the damage above referred to. The gentlemen who have started the ball to rolling. - are far seeing and wide-awake planters and business men, and they are now confident of success.
 There will be the regular proceedings of petition 10 be signed by majority in value of the landowners along the route. the order of court. letting of contract and actual work done until l finished.
 And then if the Rock Island would take care of the water along their right of way by opening up a ditch to l. Angaille river, the whole question would be permanently settled.
 If this enterprise will save our friends these oft recurring damages. and the thing can be done without injustice to any others. which We be- lieve Is the case, We wish it qaick ac- plishment.

VERY CLOSE RACE
 IN PIANO CONTEST

Perhaps one of the most interesting contests ever pulled off in this sec tion will close next "Wednesday even. ino at o'clock, August 30th, when either Miss Olive Johnson, of Forrest Citv5or Miss Elma Wimberly of Mari. anna. will be awarded nice piano. There is very little difference in the vote hetween the two young ladies and ii is a foregone conclusion that a ,nmber of votes are being held backby botb young ladies and the young la- dies, friends and it is very hard to avon think who has the chance to win. One or the other is going to get tho niano. Who it will be is now the interesting question.
 Both of the young ladies are work ing hard and there are many of their friends. who are going to take out some insurance with the agents and each young lady will need all the sup nort she can get, forbthe winner will not have any too many votes to spare from all indications at this time.
 If you are interested in either of the young ladies, let us show you the best plan of life insurance ever writ ten. and you will be doing yourself a favor by taking policy with the United states Annuity and Life In- surance Company of Chicago, for the plan offered is not offered by any oth- CT old line insurance company and the dividends paid by [ h i $ company annually are the largest of any com any d oin z business on the legal reserve plan Get the insurance and help the young lady to get the piano.
 The vote up to Wednesday evening August g, 1911, for the young ladies was as follows:

POLICE In CONTROL
OF CAR TRAFFIC
|. C. C. Issues Sweeping Or
der as to Powers.

In compliance with a Recommendation
OF Maj. Richard Sylvester, superintend-
ent of police, and the District Commits
sIoners, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, through the District electric
railway commission, has issued an order
placing the street railway cars in the
same category with other vehicles, and
giving to the police the privilege of
stopping them at street crossings for the
relief of congested traffic.
The police have had great difficulty
handling the trafic in certain downtown
districts, and seeking a solution of the
problem, Maj. Sylvester recommended
that the police be given the power to
control the street car traffic at certain
specified points in the crowded business
sections. The Commissioners heartily
indorsed the recommendation, and the
request was submitted to the commerce
commission.
To the surprise OF the District officials,
the commission issued an order of even
greater scope than the one requested,
including all street intersections in the
District, instead of only the points spec
fled in the request.
Although the order became effective
yesterday II will be several days before
the police will begin to exercise their
authority. as circular letters OF instruc-
tion will have to be sent to the va
rious precincts.

HERE NEXT MONTH
Poultry and Pigeon Show Is
on Cards.

The premium list and catalogue for the
annual exhibit of the Washington Poul-
try and Pigeon Association. to be held
in the old Masonic Temple January 1918,
was mailed yesterday.
The managers say the interest shown
in the coming show is general, but es-
pecially strong in adjoining States, with
the assurance of fine displays from poul-
try farms and lofts of some of the lead
ing breeders and fanciers. Among the
more important exhibits will be coops of
American, Asiatic. English, and Mediter-
ranean breeds.
Incidentally the management expects
the show to give a new impetus to poul-
try raising in this section of the coun-
try, particularly in Virginia and Mary
land.
A movement has bee1 started for the
formation of a National Poultry Asso-
citation, with headquarters at Washing
ton, where the officials will be in close
touch with the Department of Agricul-
ture in the promotion of the best inter-
ests of poultry raising. In all probability
hibit this association will be formed.
Entries will close January 6.
The headquarters of the association is
at IA Twelfth street northwest The
officers are George e. Howard, president:
A. NJ. Koon, vice president; William c.
Gray, secretary; Edward S. Schmid.
treasurer; Harry NJ Lamon, correspond
ent, and Joseph F. Bardoff, superinten-
dent. The judges will be A. E. Warner,
