REWARD OFFERED
FOR BOIL W[fL|L
NONE HAVE YET APPEARED
LOCAL FIRM WILL GIVE HAT
FOR FIRST GENUINE WEEV-
Ills BROUGHT IN.

A reward Of nice hat is offered
by Frauenthal e. Schwarz of this city
to the first boy who VIII bring to their
store three genuine Mexican boil Wee
wills found in Faulkner county field.
Although the time has now arrived
when the boil weevil was expected to
make its appearance, none have as
yet been discovered The prize offer
ed by Frauenthal & Schwarz was Sc
cured today by County Demonstration
|S B. Webb, who believes it will
serve as an inducement for the boys
Ito be on sharp lookout for the
pests, in order that prompt action
may be taken should they be discov-
cred.
MANY different varieties Of weevil
have been brought TO our attention
recently" said Mr Webb today, ''but
not one of them has yet proved to be
the genuine Mexican weevil which
has wrought such greet damage to
the south and west Of is. 1t was
generally expected that the weevil
would invade Faulkner county this
year, and we are not yet sure that it
will not, but so far the county seems
- u clear OF them. Deputy State
Agent w. G. Apple, Ion P. Fraser
of Little Rock and myself recently
made thorough inspections on large
number OF both upland and river
farms, but were unable to locate any
trace of the much-dreaded pest Mr..
Webb says the place to look for weev-
lis at present is IN the top bud of the
cotton stalk. Cotton is beginning to
square now, and this is usually the
time when the weevil makes it's first
appearance.
Demonstrates Webb is much pleas
ed with the crop outlook of the
Faulkner county farmers who have
been faithfully following the govern
ment instructions throughout the
year. While the crops of others are
suffering for rain in many places, y
|he said, those Of the demonstration
farmers are IN splendid shape and
are in no immediate need of moist
ure. This is due to the fact that
these farmers have set aside the old
heavy plows and 'middle-busters' and
are using light cultivators and har-
rows, keeping a loose much, which
Iprevents the moisture from evaporat-
ing from the SOIL"
Special praise is given by Mr.
Webb, who spent the past two days
/ visiting farms in the vicinity of Mt
Vernon, Enola, Naylor and Beryl, to
the crop OF Sam Grafton near Nay
lor. Mr.. Grafton is cultivating his
entire farm according to the demon
strat.on plan, and Mr.. Webb declares
his field is one of the prettiest he ev-
er saw. Among others who the
the demonstrator says are making
unusually good showings are S. II.
Keathley OF Enola, VIII McHenry OF
Beryl and s s. Keathley of Mt
Vernon.

Your Town.

No town, county or community
will ever prosper, to any great
extent, where there is division
of strife of any nature. People
in towns should strive to help
each other, for in helping others
you invariably help yourself.
There is no man that cannot as
sist i'll the growth, prosperity
and development of his town.
However small his influence, it
has its effect. OPPOSITION is the
life of trade and merit wins. No
town will prosper and grow
where lack of enterprise and
push on the part of its citizens
is felt. The true motto of each
and every citizens of a town is
and should be to assist and help
your neighbors, encourage bust
ness of ali kinds (don't fear any
danger in goring the market in
this line.) do all you can and en-
courage all in the matter of i'm
provement in making the town
attractive and giving it a home
like appearance. When this is
done people from a distance will
form a good opinion of the place,
and it will be an inducement for
them to locate with US and be-
come permanent and substantial
citizens.

Mrs. Eldridge Stotts is very
sick at this writing.
Although it is yet early it ap-
pears that there is to be a lively
contest in the Eighth District
over the nomination of a Demo-
cratic candidate toirepresent the
district in the lower house of
Congress. But it seems to me
that the Democrats of Adair
county are duty bound to sup
port Harvey Helm regardless OF
who may oppose him. We must
remember that we were but late
ly in the eleventh and there did
not have a ghost of a show in
electing the representative, and
but for Harvey Helm we would
still be there. We have been
trying for many years to get out
of the eleventh but it seems that
no other district wanted us. But
when we asked admittance into
the eighth Mr.. Helm gladly well
coined us. He has made a good
representative in the past and so
let US show our appreciation by
casting every Democratic vote in
the county for him in the pri-
mary.

The death of l. C. Harmon is
an irreparable loss to the COM
munity in which he lived. He
was always kind to all and will
ing to give succor to the dis
tressed. His integrity and honor
were above reproach. He was
a consistent member of the
church and did much to promote
the cause of Christianity. He
was an ardent member of the
Masonic fraternity and lived a
true and exemplary life of a ma
son. He was a kind and affect
ionate husband and father, and
has left many friends to mourn
his death. Farewell friend and
relative, the body is dead but
the spirit lives.
For there is no death; the stars go dowr
To shine on fairer shore,

Put None But Faithful On Guard.

In selecting delegates to the
Democratic national convention
the voters should remember,
first, that the platform comes be-
fore nominations and that the
platform will largely affect our
chances. Second. that, after
the candidate instructed for is
out of the race the delegates act
upon their own judgment.
1t is important, therefore, that
delegates should be chosen who
are in sympathy with progress
sive ideas. The platform must
be progressive if, we are to make
a winning fight and it will not be
progressive unless the progress
sives control the convention.
And, so, if the progressive in
structed for can not secure the
nomination the delegates must
get together on some one else
and that some one will be a re-
dictionary if the reactionaries
control the convention. These
are progressive times and only
those who are genuinely progress
sive can give faithful expression
to the sentiments of Democratic
voters. Put none but the faith
full on guard. There are lots of
men in our part who are reaction
ary-honestly so such can not be
trusted to speak for progressive
ness.-W. J, Bryan in the Com
moner.

An Open Letter to Or. U. |. Taylor.
Garlin. KY, March 16, 1912.

Accept my congratulations on
the good service you are render
ing the cause of education in so
completely demolishing the OBJ
jections to the compulsory school
law that have recently been pub
lished in the Adair County News.
1t is humiliating to see an edit
or of a county paper, and a
teacher who is both a poet and a
lawyer, striving to block the
wheels of educational progress
by opposing the enactment of a
law that is so sorely needed to
make our school system effective
for the masses.
On seeing the editors objec-
tons TO your first article, l was
so mortified that l decided that
if you did not answer him, |
would do so myself just as soon
as | could get a little more time
from my school work. But on
reading your last article, | saw
the work was so well done as to
make any reply on my part I'M
necessary. Still l wish to add
my hearty and full Endorsement
of your reasoning. 1t is the
truth, and is unanswerable. The
fact is there can be no argument
against a reasonable and effective
compulsory school law. 1t is
right in principle, and can be
just as easily enforced as any
law now on the statute books.
Germany with her compulsory
law is the best educated nation in
the world. The states of our
union that are foremost in ed
ucation, as rule, have the COM
pulsory system, while not one of
those at the foot of the ladder in
literacy has it. We must have
this system in Kentucky, if we
are ever to rise very high above
our present standing. Our
teachers cannot do themselves
justice. our schools can not be
properly graded, nor can real ed
vocational results be obtained
without enforced regular attend
arce. If the teacher does his
! full duty he will read and study
educational books and journals,
he will prepare the lessons that
! he must hear before hearing
them, he will keep his records
fully and accurately, and at the
same time he must take care of
his health. He can hardly do all
this and see all the parents each
week to have them keep their
children in school. | know the
teacher can aid much by making
his school interesting, and by
making a special effort to get
the parents to send regularly,
but in many communities all this
will fail to move a large portion
Of the parents Every teacher
of long experience knows this.
| am for better qualified teachers
and better teaching, for better
school houses and better equip.
ment, for better salaries and
longer terms, and back Of all
this strong compulsory law,
requiring at least five months of
regular attendance each year for
all children from seven to six
teen. Let all the real friends of
education speak out in favor of
the compulsory school attend
ance law.
