fondness for the type the fact remains that it would add hundreds of thous- ands of dollars to the annual state income from the pork growing indus try and would keep as much more from going out of the state for pack ing house products.
 When the truth of the above state ments dawns fully upon the farmers of Arkansas it won't be long until the transformation is complete. The wise ones will accept at at once, from those by whom it has already been proven and look to this means to help solve their now embarrassing problems.

A Warning

Agnes, two and half, had attended the first party. While there, she with several little tots, stood around a large rocking chair, on the cushion of which quietly reposed the big house Tabby. Some stroked her head, while others spoke of her beautiful soft fur. In moment, without warning, she gave wild leap, sprang through the door and disappeared around the corner. Agnes aunt standing near inquired:
 What was the matter?" But no one knew.
 Seeing her neice wiping her mouth vigorously, she asked, What did you do?"
 Without hesitation Agnes answered
 ''I bit his tail" Her aunt instructed her that this wasn't the proper thing to do.
 Next day her grandmother, all dressed in her best, was descending the front steps.
 Where are you going, grandmoth- er?" she inquired.
 "To a party, dear. You know you went to party yesterday"
 She hung her head slightly and mumbled under her breath, as if giv- ing a warning:
 Don't bite the cats tailW

War Adds Billion Dollars to the
 Value of Our CrOps

The following statement as to the effect of the war on the value of Amer lcan crops is taken from the current issue of the Farm and Preside:
 "There can be no doubt that this years rise in prices on account of the war will be no less than a billion dol lars.
 Cotton growers and apple growers have been losers thus far. The former may yet be delivered from their diff culties, for cotton will keep if financial and housing arrangements are made for it's holding. Apples, too, will keep but they require storage which can- not be supplied for the occasion-and the apple harvest is brief.
 "On the whole, however, the Ameri- can farmer stands to win enormously by the insanity of our brethren in Europe. To be sure, the billion dollars is not clear gain. It will be realized only on our surplus.
 The man who feeds grain that is worth seventy-tive cents bushel is not jubilant on account of the price. He can, however, study the balanced ration, sell the dear grains, and buy the cheaper feeds, if such there are, economize on all feedstuffs, use his brains, and make his surplus larger
 While the war prices last is a time to pay debts and accumulate for the slump which is likely to come when the war is over."

USING THE RAZOR-BACk AS
 A SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTOl
(By w. R. Wheelock, Arkansas EX-
 pertinent Station.)

pertinent Station.)
 Now that circumstances have con- vinced everyone of the need of grow ing more livestock on ARKANSAS farms the next question is where to get the breeding stock with which to begin to produce the type of stock that the market demands In the case of pork production which affords the op portunity for most immediate returns, the problem will be largely solved if the farmer will make intelligent use of what he already has. While a pure bred herd would in many instances be desirable yet any farmer can make good money with common stock sows even razor backs-if he will mate them to a good pure bred boar. The offspring decree possess the type and quality of the boar, the chief require ments of the sow being size, maturity prolificacy and good mothering quail ties. The more improved blood the SOW possesses the better the offspring will be so long as the pure bred boar is used. It is only when a grade boar and a grade sow are mated that the old native type in any large degree asserts itself and We get cull lot.
 While it would be impossible Tn any reasonable time to stock the farms of the state with sows of good breeding, it would be a comparatively easy mat ter to bring enough good boars into every county in the next few months so that if they were used exclusively for the next two or three years the old native type of hogs would almost disappear Although this might work a grievance on those who cherish

rrIp FARMERS HELP THEM
 SELVES

I. does look as if some method of ,.1n;ng the Southern farmer handle n;. n cotton crop will be devised when many are studying the problem and working at. The great trouble :. that nearly every proposition so for looks only to palliating present conditions . and has little consideration for the future.
 The buy-a-bale movement has roacbed some proportions and un- doubtedly has had measure of influ- once already in steadying such mar Lot as we have. But its sole object is to get 10 cents pound for the nresent crop. The daughter of Speak or Clark proposes that 1O,00O,OOO women immediately buy a dollars worth of cotton goods and that they use cotton wearing apparel to the oreatest extent possible. The purpose is to take up the present stock of cotton goods so as to increase the demand of the mills for cotton and raise the price. Various and sundry schemes have been proposed whereby the state or national governments, or both should buy up the surplus cotton at 10 cents and hold it off the market so that the remainder of crop would bring at least as much.
 Now. suppose some means, or all these working together, should take up the surplus at 10 cents and the farmer should realize 10 cents for the remainder of his crop in the open market Suppose, in other words he should sell his entire crop this year to the philanthropist, the government and the mills at 10 cents. What of next year? It would be begun with a surplus on hand of some 4,000,000 bales, but it wouldn't be the farmers surplus; he would have already sold out at 10 cents or more pound. Would he reduce next years acreage under those circumstances Some, perhaps. but not enough. He would figure that in spite of an enormous crop this year he had gotten 10 cents a pound. and somehow, or some other how, another ordinary crop would be taken care of. How many would think of the two surpluses that would be on hand next year?
 If the cotton situation is to be solved right this fall it must be solved Tn such way as to guard against an aggravated repetition next fall With that in mind, then, let those that are doing the planning so shape affairs that the farmer shall be helped to help himself However the surplus may be financed this year let it be done in such way that it will be in the hands of the farmer Let the surplus still be his, let him do the holding. A reduction in acreage, a great reduc- uon, will then be inevitable. For who, With a fourth of this years crop still on hand and no market for it, would Oe so stupid as to grow another big crop Not many, surely.-Farm and Ranch.

None Perfect

The other day an amusing thing happened at boarding house in a Southern city. One of the women, who has an awful appetite, took two pieces of cake at once when the dish was passed to her. Then she flashed her most winning smile at the waiter and said:
 "I suppose that am perfect pig"
 He did not even smile. But he came back with the quiet answer:

PLEASING EXHIBITION
Opens Thursday at Cony High School
Will Be Continued Today.

The annual exhibition of manual
training, domestic science and draw
ing which opened Thursday afternoon
in the assembly hall of the High school
building proved to be very attractive.
AS a whole the exhibition showed that
under the best of instructors during
the past year the students have made
excellent progress in arts which can
not be mastered from the books.
On the right wall of the room are
drawings and paintings by the pupils
of the Grammar schools, and the left
side is given over to the manual train
ing and domestic departments. Sew
erat dresses made by the girls of the
Grammar schools show to what extent
they have mastered the art of sewing
Tables, desks and cabinet have been
made in a manner which reflects great
credit upon the boys in the Grammar
schools.
The rural schools are also represent
ed in the exhibition. In particular the
exhibit of the pupils of the HeWlns
school, taught by Evelyn NJ. Mason
drew much attention, being made VI
of quilts pillows, baskets and novel
ties
The students of the lower grades
contributed much to the exhibition
their work consisting of dolls hats
neatly trimmed, decorated baskets and
all sorts of novelties made from wood
In the main room of the old build
ing Miss Mary H. Gussman, teacher OF
drawing in the schools, has beau
tiful exhibit of over 100 of her paint
ings and these received much favor
able criticism.
The exhibit will be continued today
from $50 to and from 7.30 to P. M

The work of coating the city streets
with oil as a dust preventative is
about completed and but two remain
to be coated so far as petitions for
having the work done have been re-
ceived. Street Commissioner Trask of
the western district stated Thursday
afternoon that 90 streets had thus far
been coated and that the only work
remaining to be done in that line was
to coat Gage street from the top of
Rines hill south as far as the Regain
residence, and Swan street for its en-
tire length The amount of oil used
to date is $4,000 gallons. There was
no small amount of objection to OIL
ing the streets when the work was
commenced but now that the oil has
become we'll mixed with the earth the
disagreeable features have practically
vanished and the benefits of dustless
thoreughfares are appreciated by those
who lvie and ride along them. Oiling
makes "a bad mess for a day or two
but there can be lttie question of its
superiority in the long run.

No trace of the remains of Harry a.
Bracket of Biddeford, who was
drowned at Hallowell Friday morning.
April 10, after having escaped from
the Augusta State hospi>al, have yet
been found, although nearly two
months have now elapsed since the
drowning, and 1t is the belief of the
authorities at the hospital that the
recovery of the body is very doubtful.
Under ordinary circumstances. the
body should have come to the sur
face some time ago, but although the
river has been patrolled at different
times, and a watch has been kept on
some of the booms, there have been
no results and the whereabouts of
the body are as much a mystery as
they We're on the day of the drowning.
The belief exists that because of the
two occasions since the drowning on
which the water in the river rose to
the freshet pitch it is possible that
the body was carried far down the
river, perhaps TO Bath, and having
gone thus far the strong current at
ebb tide could easily carry it to sea,
and should such be the case the
chances of ever finding it would be
reduced to minimum. 1t is thought
possible also that the clothing may
have caught on something on the riv-
er bed and prevented the body from
rising to the surface. 1t would prove
a source of much qualification to the
relatives of the young man could the
body be found.
