BOOM DAIRY BUSINESS
Lower Arkansas Valley Alive With
Boosters for This Line Of
Farm Industry

The farmers and businesses men
OF the lower Arkansas valley have
developed In the past two weeks
a big boom for the dairy industry,
and the probabilities are that sew
eral thousands OF cows will soon
be daily money earnes on ranches
in Bent and Prowers counties. A
number of our farmers are already
embarked in this business and al
though the market at present Is
quite a distance away. they are all
satisfied with the returns and
claim 1t is a big money maoer.
With an unlimited market right
in the midst OF the territory aa 1t
Is now believed there is a strong
prospect of securing. the number
OF COWS would be rapidly increased
and 1t is believed that in the terri
tory named over five thousand
cows will be MIXED daily before
the end of the year. At fair prices
this would mean over fifty thous-
and dollars in cash turneed loose
among the farmers each month.
Nearly all OF the Lamar bus
iness men and boosters has taken
hold Of the proposition with a vim
and are lending their aid to the
live business men and farmers In
the whole territory In working up
enthusiasm. Several squads are
going out each night and all are
doing live work as the results show.
Such wide-awake live towns as
Wiley. McClave. Bristol and Hart
man have taken hold with the
greatest of alacrity and are coming
up with a showing far exceeding
expectations. Both the farmers
and business men are equally en-
Unused over the possibilities and
all are working together. The
smaller communities such as Hasty
Kornman, Dry Creek, May Valley
and others are also doing their
part to keep in the procession and
there promises to be no trouble
in getting the required number of
cows to get a permanent market
established. All conditions for
the dairy business here are super
Tor to those Of any other section
of the United States except the dis
lance to a sure market for all the
product that can be raised. and
1t is this market which the bust
ness men and farmers are now
making such strenuous efforts to
secure.
The conditions look favorable for
the securing of this market now
as a reward for the splendid work
being done. and the success means
another big industry added to the
Arkansas valley. and another step
towards making It productive to its
furthermost stretches.

Socialism in Our Daily Life.

A writer in London Everynan as
serts that no good business results ever
need be expected from socialism as
preached by the leading propagandists
of that political faith, for the reason
that socialism in its very essence is
antagonistic to discipline and that with
out discipline all the essential qualities
leading to industrial effort are handi-
capped in the race for efficiency.
This writer holds that the moment
that Socialists give cognizance to dis
cipline, socialism disappears. He also
points out that with socialism comes
that lack of discipline in every phrase
OF juvenile life which is responsible
for much of the helplessness of the So
called working classes in Great Britain
today and of which there are in Amer
lea some disturbing symptoms. Many
movements that would tend to char
acter building in the young are openly
opposed by Socialists. One such is the
Boy Scout movement; also the disci-
pline of apprenticeship in the trades
has been quite lost.

Limiting Appropriation Bills.

The Democratic leaders in the House
have done wisely in giving serious
consideration to the limitation of ap-
preparation bills.
When the late Samuel ]. Randall
many years ago ran counter In his
protection ideas TO the free trade pol
icies of the dominant faction in his
party he was punished by the with
drawal OF appropriation bills from
his committee Under the new sys-
TEN the bills relating to the army and
navy, agriculture, pensions, &c, were
framed by the committees which dealt
with those matters, and, as natural
consequence. each committee, working
independently, placed no limit upon
its expenditures. 1t is now proposed
that budget committee shall apportion
the amount beyond which no commit
tee shall go in making up an appro-
priation bill. Thus there will be a
correlation between the revenues and
