LETTER WORTH;FIVE
DOLLARS TO FINDER
Ben Feinberg Will Send One Up Into
the Clouds by Miss StinsOn

H. B. Feinberg has planned a new
novel method of delivering letter to
Hon. Simon Bloom mayor of this city.
Mr.. Feinberg. a great admirer of the
Mayor, will write a letter of COM

noon. Miss Stinson will drop the
letter at some point between the

the letter the mayor will write Mr.
Feinberg a note OF thanks, which the
messenger will convey to Mr.. Fem
berg, who will present him Cor herr
with $500 in gold. 1t is not an

flights Miss Stinson will drop the let

But there Is another side to It thst

BIG CIRCUS COMING
Performances Begin with Mighty
.shr Scenic Spectacle, "Cleceatra.' -

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will visit Pine Bluff
on Friday September 19, giving two
performances at the usual hour and
presenting a street parade in the
forenoon. The equipment of the show
is all new. 1t was built at a cost of
$3,500,00o The program will be
given by 400 performers. Most of
them are from Europe and are max.
ing their first tour of America.
The performance begins this yeai
with the great scenic spectacle,
"Cleopatra,' the most notable the
atrical or circus production in the
history Of American amusements. It
is enacted by cast of 1880 artists,
a ballet Of $50 dancing girls, a grano
opera chorus and an orchestra Of
100 soloists. There are also $50
horses, five herds of camels, forty
elephants and a trainload of special
scenery, costumes and stage mechan-
ism for producing such effects as
sand storms on the desert, earth
quakes, sunrise, mirages. thunder,
lightning and rain.
There is no question as to tE+-
superiority of this show. For fifty
five years it has set pace that 70
other circus has been able to follow.
There is no country on earth where
it is not as we'll known as in Anne
RIGA. There is not city of size IN
the United States, Canada, Europe or
Asia where at some time it has not

Nobility has applauded it. Orientai
kings and potentates have admired T..
The peasantry has found delight in
its appearance. The world has long
recognized it as the head of all
amusement affairs.
The management has agents in all
the largest cities of the earth. They
are constantly searching for novelties
and curios. They keep in touch with
the foremost talent of the earth and
keep the circus supplied with fresh
acts and new sensations 1t is the
only circus in the world that has its
own animal trappers and jungle
hunters. By its enterprise in this
respect it has been the first to attract
scientists by its up-to-date menagerie

ssCOvER CROP" WILL,
PAY WE'LL THIS FALL
Commissioner of Agricultnrsl Page
Suggests Hay and Alfalfa Craving
As Inter-SeasOn Crop.

What is cover crop? A cover crop
is crop of grass that will grow dur
ing the late fall. winter and early
spring, and cover the land and keep
the rains from washing the soil and
teaching of the same, and eXhausting
the plant food contained in the soil. A
cover crop is a good thing, and will
pay well as a protection to the land.
However, good cover crop will pay
we'll as pasturage grass and serve
two purposes. | have been urging
the farmers to look we'll after their.
grass and hay crops this year. You
may have done SO. If you have you
are fortunate, for hay goes long way
as feed, and feed is geing to be high
next year Arkansas prairie hay is
quoted on the market now at $40 per
ton; Oklahoma prairie hay at $17; al
at from 500 to 1913 per ton. So the hay
crop has been and lis an important
factor in Arkansas. | hope the farm
ers of Arkansas have saved good hay
crops and will have feed for their
stock. 1t certainly is hard on cot
ton raiser to have to give up part of
the money made in raising cotton for
hay and stock food, because he will
be paying more than it would have
n nj a
hold on the people and it is hard to
break loose
las to the cover crop, it will be
needed for the stock this winter.
There are several good cover crops.
Bur clover is one Of the best. 1t
mixes in we'll with bermuda, and will
die out in the spring about the time
the latter comes out strong. thus
making by this combination almost a
!. continuous pasture. Crimson clover
and vetch are fine. The latter makes
better cover crop and the former
makes better winter pasture and
soil builder. Rye is also. good as a
cover crop and winter pastureits Rape
makes a good winter pasture ifor hogs
J but is not legume and does not
store nitrogen like the others. Let
lime urge you to try some OF these
itwimteE iGoyarcrops, and give the hogs,

icrop, and will in addition build up
sthe sol on 3'the farm and make good
farms out ofsbad one You can, plant
rye. bur clover Or vetch between the
scotton rows and make good, winter
spasture and covers crop. OF ; course
1T is better TO properly prepare a seed
bed and SOW it in the open, and would
give you better results.
hope the Arkansas farmers will
give attention to alfalfa this season
1t will grow in almost any Of the
soils we have. Prepart the land we'll
and SOW plenty of seed. Alfalfa will
produce better results than any other
crop we can grow in the State.
hope you will make an extra effort to
get a start, if Il is not more than an
acre. : ~ "
Begin early this fall to prepare
for next years crops. Get your land
in shape to break this fall, and when
you break your land, try blowing il
| about two inches deeper than it was
plowed last year. 1t will make a
good bed for holding moisture next
year.

To the Memory of Dorothy May, Be-
loved Child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Larkin.
How majestic the death of a little
child. one of Gods own little ones.
AS the fair and dainty flowret is borne
along the way Death commands that
all observe his power. The laborer
pauses in his work and gazes Won
deringly: fair and delicate young
mother, sitting on the porch, looks
with awe and sympathy and a tighten
ing of the heart strings. as she thinks
of her own little ones, children pause
! in their play; grandmother comes
down the walk to get near view, and
REMEMBERS many her own little flow
rets, shaken from the parent stem in
days gone by; and group of old
time darkies bare their heads.
And so despite the grim decree Of
the Tyrant she who had won the love
and sympathy of all who came in
contact with her in life, even as she
was borne along the solemn pathway
that leads to the silent city, cast the
fragrance of her fair and innocent
beauty and purify over all.
But still the glorious sun is shining
and Death has no power to mar a fair
and beautiful world, and we know that
even thus Gods just and loving care
surrounds us and we have the assur-
ance that Like a father pitieth his
children, so the Lord pitieth them that
fear Him." And so it dawns upon u.s.
that youthful and dainty tho she was,
unconsciously and unerringly the mis-
sion of little Dorothy had been per-
formed
True, God had not stayed the hand
of the grim and needless one, and had
permitted this fair and perfect bud
who gave every promise of perfect
poisoning time, to be gathered, but
what group OF kindred and friends
and neighbors had been drawn to-
gether in bonds of love and sympathy.

eyes and dainty grace, would

stcrilized Coal.

doctors used to notice coal miners

long time it has been thought that
breathing in coal dust caused lung dis.
eases in miners. Some experts find
fresh coal is as good as sterii'aed, and
say miners have lung trouble because
they do not take the trouble to put
eft their damp and sweaty clothing be
fore going from the mine to their
homes, thus taking cold in the open
air walk. Experts say our miners
ought to put on warm and dry clothes
at the mouth of the mine. But II
seems the miners have minds of their
own, and although the coal companies
in some places fixed up hot and cold
water baths ald dressing rooms at tho
mouth Of the mines the men would
