States in 1907 was 72,5s4, 900.

States iii 1907 was 72,534 ,000 The number in 1913 is 56,527 ,O00. The population is constantly increasing while the number of cattle to sup ply that population is constantly de- creasing. The South only can change these figures.
 Arkansas has a land area of 33,- 616,00 acres. Only S,076,254 acreA of which are improved farm land. In other words, there are at least 20,- 0O0,000 acres of land in Arkansas that can be in part or entirely devot- ed to live stock raising. Turned out fields, the decrease in the number of cattle and hogs, the steady increase in population, and the wonderful adaptability of Arkansas to the in dustry, calls to our minds very fOrcib- ly the importance of live stock on well regulated southern farm. Ark ansas steers and Arkansas hogs have topped the market in St. Louis and Omaha a great many times during the season. and yet so few have specialized on cattle and hogs. They will pay
 In 1910 the average price of hogs l for the United States was $6.S6, and in 1900 it was $369. The price of the steer has been advancing each year With all these advantages add ed to the stock raising industry, yet the opportunities have not decreased 1 in Arkansas. We have plenty of sur ] plus land, plenty of water, plenty of grass and range, and land that will grow any kind of a feed crop that is desired Marketable cattle can be produced in any section of Arkan- sas for from three to three and a half cents per pound. About A per cent of the iand in Arkansas is under fence but not near that amount is under cultivation. All of the idle land should be given to i've stock i farming. The cost is little.
 The opportunities for all kinds of live stock farming that we have in Arkansas now cannot be found in another state in the Union. 1t is not necessary to slaughter the calves to make money out of live stock now. The number of calves decreased from 1,41S,961 in 1900 to S22170 in 1910. 1 The South in the future is the cen ter of the live stock industry. and Arkansas is a part of the South that 1 is ideally adapted to it's new posi- tion.
 And another thing l would have you remember is, that the number of acres of land is not increasing. So my advice is to be slow to part with your land if it is good. If it is part good and part poor, raise live stock and i've stock crops and build the poor land up. Like stock farming must be mastered in the South for the future. Why not Arkansas? Live stock will pay

ARKANSAS FLAG
 FIRST TO FLOAT
FROM TOWER OF WOOLWORTH BUILDING, TALLEST STRUC-
 TURF IN THE WORLD.
Hot Springs Man Tells of Interesting Experience With Famous Flag
 at Rochester Elks Convention

Hot Springs, July 22.-The Arkan- emblems of the B. P. o. E. Lodge, 3S0. of Hot Springs, was the first flag ever to have been floated to the breeze from the tower of the Wool worth building in New York, the tallest building in the world. Inci- dentally this flag had some unusual incidents written into it's history when Delegate Charles Weaver took it to the Rochester convention of Elks.
 Mhen MT. Weaver reached the con- vention hall he saw the beautiful 'Old Glory flags draped behind the rostrum of the great assembly hall, and naturally he was casting about for 8 place to put the Arkansas flag. Between the two American flags was all opening, and just behind the speakers. The first session was to be an open session, and thousands WOulu OC III dllCuuCACc. MI. w CdNCl secured permission to place the Ark ansas flag in the hall, and on the day of the opening of the convention, Rochester Elks were surprised that while they had no lodge flag in the hall, the Arkansas Flag occupied the most conspicuous place.
 The next morning after the opening Of the convention the Arkansas flag had been taken down. But the larg- est audience that ever thronged the hall had seen it.
 iMr. Weaver then took it to the lobby of his hotel, where other flags and draperies were cast about, and put it up. An hour later he noticed it was gone. He finally found it concealed in bundle under the coat of 9, man in the hotel lobby Imagine what Mir. Weaver told the man in good old American laAquage, when he discovered the theft.
 Leaving Rochester MT. Weaver took the flag to the Metropolitan Building tower in New York City and flung it to the breeze and then went over to the Woolworth building, and repeat cd the act. There he was advised the Arkansas flag had been the first ever floated to the wind from that tower.
 The flag is quite famous
 The movement to have an Arkan- sas State Flag was stated by the Pine Bluff Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
 From the siXty-five designs, the one submitted by Miss Hooker of Pine Bluff was selected by committee o1 men and women from different parts of the state. and same was adopted by the Legislature on February the 18th, 1913.
 Arkansas being one of the United States, hence the National colors arc used. Arkansas being the twenty fifth in order of admission, hence the twenty-five white stars. Arkansas came in paired with another state; this is shown by the two small stars The three blue stars indicate thai Arkansas has belonged to Spain France and United States: also it was the third states carved out of the Louisiana purchase, which was il 1903. The large white diamond in- dicates that Arkansas has the only known diamond mines in the United States and therefore should be called ~'"The Diamond State"
