statement OF the general result of the
thirteenth census relative 10 the num-
Der of farms reporting the raising Of
poultry and production Of eggs, tOgeth-
err with the number OF fowls and dozens

was 4SS, 46S, 354, or al average of SG.4
fowls per farm. No report was pub
lishcd in 1900 showing the number Of

raised in 1899, but the total value was
given as S136, $50, 152, as against II value

doubled, the exact amount Of gain be-
ing $162 ,44S, 419, or 1925 per cent.

SEWING MACHINE PROGRESS
GREAT DEVELOPMENT AND
HIGHEST EXCELLENCE
EyEMpuFIED IN The NEW HOME"
The Sewing Machine of Quality
Has Half-Century Record
of Success Chicago
Branch Was Estab-
lished in 1882.

Few inventions have conferred a
greater boon on mankind than the
sewing machine. Pre-eminert among
the machines that have stood the test
of time and service is the New
Home, in which are found exclusive
features of acknowledged superiority
and all the meritorious improvements
marking the advance of the sewing
machine industry.
With a record of half a century of
success, the New Home Sewing
Machine may claim high rank and
great prestige as a pioneer that has
ever kept abreast of the demands of
the times. Fifty years of satisfactory
service in more than three million
homes-which is the story of the New
Home in a nut shell-means much to
the buyer who seeks the highest quality
and efficiency in a machine. Added to
quality is artistic construction, which
makes the New Home an ornament as
well as a utility.

proclamation fixing Friday,
April 10, 1912, as Arbor Day:
In full appreciation of the real and
true relation of trees, shrubs and
flowers 10 the public health, happiness
and comfort, and in order,
that the general interest therein may
be furthered and augmented, / hereby
name Friday, April 10, 1912, IS arbor
day, and urge upon the people of the
state a wide observance of the same.
In this great and inspiring movement,
it is highly important that the interests
of the children be enlisted, for while
We of today may begin the solution of
the problems of reforestization and con-
servation, the conclusion must be
accomplished by those who follow after
US. /, therefore, earnestly recommend
that Arbor day of this year be especially
observed by the public schools and
devoted to the practical instruction of
our youth in these matters essential to
the beauty and betterment of our
homes, u cities, and our state.

Greenville, Miss, April 1.-THE Mis-.

food is pouring through two gaps in
the levee-at Panther Fork in Arkan-

sas delta. It Is estimated that a thou.
sand square miles in East Carroll and
Madison parishes, Louisiana, and Chi.
cot and Dasha counties, Arkansas, are
flooded.
Thousands of families may be made
homeless.
The latest breaks are regarded as
the most serious that have occurred
since the flood set In. In the territory
which will be inundated populous viii
lagos are numerous and Arkansas City
and Lake Village, Ark, and Lake
Providence. Tallulah and Delhi, La,
and other important towns are direct
ly in the path of the overflow.
While the damage to property will
be heavy 1t Is not believed the loss Of
life will be large. When the levees
collapsed couriers were sent from
every point reached by telephone to
warn those living in remote sections
