HOW TO RID YOUR
 FARM OF STUMPS
GOOD STUMP FULLER IS BEST METHOD WITH DYNAMITE
 FOR STUBBORN ONES.

Every farmer that has stumps on his farm should remove a portion of them every season until his farm Is clear of stumps
 There are different ways of remov- ing stumps, but none of the ways know of will compare with pulling them with good stump butler. I have used different pullers, but none that l have used or known of will work near as well as the Her cules.
 I would not advise using cables shorter than 200 feet long and usu- ally three-quarters or seven eights of an inch in diameter Cables of this size are strong enough to pull a good sized stump when the earth is wet and they are more easily used when not too large.
 Should you have stumps too strong for your puiier, use a small portion of dynamite in sufficient quantity to weaken the stump so the puller can draw it. Keep your dy- namite outfit with you so you can easily use it when needed Some times you may gear to astump and find it too strong for reasonable pull, and in such cases you can quickly use a small charge of dyna- mite without danger to team or cable.
 Pulling stumps is this way gets all the roots out of the earth for fuel and causes a better drainage because of the deep holes made in the earth, some of them extending even fifteen 1 feet deep.
 About five men make the best force to run a stump puller to best advant- age. By using this number of hands you can keep stumps in readiness to hitch to and you can pull many more per day.
 It is just as important to have a part of the men trained for the busi- ness as it is to have them trained to run your thresher or binder or any other machine. If you have not be gun to get ready to remove your stumps. would advise that you begin at once. for every stump that you remove this season will save you la Dor and expense for the future sea sons, and thus you will save an an rnal Income that may be enjoyed from time to time. Last. but not least. when you have pulled the stumps

SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL
 CONGRESS GETS BUSY
SEEKS TO INCREASE TRADE WITH PAN AMERICAN REPUBLICS ON
 FoUR-FOLD PLAN.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The South ern Commercial Congress has start ed a movement to increase the trade and strengthen the amicable rela- tions of the United States with the Pan-American republics.
 This project is fourfold, as follows:
 1. To arouse the Southern and Cen tral American republics to a greater interest in the vast expansion of American trade and South American trade. which will follow the opening of the Panama canal in 1913, and to inform the American public of steps winch South and Central American republics already are taking to seize commercial advantages resulting from opening or the canal.
 2. A campaign to furnish informa- ton to American exporters to the Pan American republics, whereby they will be better able to compete with European merchants whose methods are acknowledged to 3c su- perior to Americans in the export trade
 8. A plan to divert part of the large number of South and Central Ameri- can students, who annually attend universities of Europe. to institutions of learning in the United States.
 f. An agitation to promote study of Spanish in the public schools. col leges and universities of this coun- try, and an effort to found Pan American chairs in our principal in- stimtions of learning.
 In order that these plans to aid in developing international commerce and friendly relations with the sister republics. and to inform the American public of the conditions which must be overcome to develop greater commerce with the Pan-American countries. the Southern Commercial Congress has obtained a series of four articles on the subjects mentioned prepared by William A. Reid, a spe- eialist in international commerce.
 MT Reid is an expert in world trade and traffic and probably no man in the United States is better informed on the topics upon which he writes He Is a graduate of the George Wash ington University, where he special ized in international law and dplo- macy. and later studied economies al Harvard University He has travelled for the past four years in practically

Automobile Course in College

The study of dead languages, phil- osophy and all the other staple things served in the modern university are to be shared by the study of the mo- tor car, according to the announce ment of the University of Southern California. Earl Y Booth, dtaler in National 40" cars in Los Angeles, is the professor of this new course
 He will be assisted by others well posted on the motor car subject.
 Co-eds will be entitled to take this scientific engineering course, and from the interest shown this course promises 10 be popular one Bert Dingley, we'll known as race car driver, who is now a salesman for National cars, will also assist these professors in their work in lemon stration.
 Dr. George F. Boyard, president of the university is quoted as saying: 'The interest in this new and unique course is even greater than its most ardent boosters mad expect ed. Nor in fact is this strange, for there is no topic that is the subject of more discussion today than the au- tomobile. or course, it was expected that the boys in the engineering and electrical departments would be in- terested in the work, because of the fact that they could keep in touch through this practical means with the latest mechanical inventions as shown

The Arkansas State Fair will be the first real big fall poultry show of the 1912 season held in the south or in the country, for that matter
 The date, November II to l6, in- elusive. brings it past the usual date for the state and district fair poul- try shows, and makes the real open CT for the real poultry show sea son of 1912, which does not begin until the hot weather is well past and the birds are in prime condition for the show room
 Poultry fanciers, the country oves will have nursed their show pets through the moulting season by that date, and they will be resplendent in their new plumage for the winter season.
 Hot Springs and Arkansas people, as well as visitors at that time, will have an opportunity to see a poul- try show in which the birds will be exhibited at their bset.
 The annual premum list which has just been issued, and is now be- ing mailed out shows the greatest aggregation of premium awards ever attempted at state fair. There are total of HIS breeds of poultry and pet stock named for competition, with first and second cash premiums for all, pen prizes for all poultry and sweepstakes in all the popular breeds-the cash premiums for which aggregate more than $2,000, Nowhere in dhe country is such an array of premiums offered, and ey- cry breed of poultry known to the American breeder and fancier is in cluded in the list
 Hot Springs and Garland county fanciers are already making their plans to enter into the competition with greater earnestness than ever before At the 1911 fair Hot Springs exhibitors won a number of prizes. and this year they are making prep arations to win more. There has been more fancy poultry bred and raised in Garland county this year than ever before, and hundreds of them will be placed in competition.
 The added premiums, the more ad- vantageous date of the show and the expectation of a large exhibit caused Secretary George R Bedding this year to name two judges for the show ring These judges, c. A. Emery ol Carthage Mo, and H. B. Savage of Belton, Tex, are two of the best known poultry experts in the south west, especially fitted to judge 3 southern show.
 The exhibit will be in charge oi Geo. A. Ashley of Sulphur Rock Ark. who performed the same office so satisfactorily to all last year. MT. Ashley is a breeder of White Ply mouth Rocks. and usually has some thing special to offer breeders of the whites" at the fair He will
