 1 think the farmers of this country ought to adopt system to cut out the use of fertilizer under cotton for next year. The farmers ought to get busy about this matter. Crops turned un- der add fertility to the soil and save fertilizer bill
 We hear great deal about bond tax and about our road system If We do not get better system the tax will be voted down at the next state cleo tion by three to one. Establish sys- tenn of contract work and pay for it in money.

MOTHERS OF STATE
 ASKED FOR BABIES
STATEWIDE CALL MADE
MANY ENTRIES ARE EXPECT DE WHEN BETTER BABIES
 CONTEST IS HELD.

Hot Springs, Oct. 13.-A statewide call to the mothers and fathers of Ar kansas has been sent out by officials
 of the State Fair Association, who de- sire that every county in this con- |monwealth be represented in the Better Baby Health Contest" which,
 judging by it's great success last year
 and the large number of children en-
 rolled for this feature at the coming
 state fair, to be held in this city Mo-
 vember 16 to 21, will be the greatest,
 most interesting, entertaining and
 highly instructive project ever pre-
 sented to parents in the history of the state.
 What kind of babies are raised in Arkansas? Very near every state in the union is keeping a scientific rec ord of it's future citizens, and the pro- gress and development of Arkansas depends on the "kiddies' of today for results in the tomorrow. Secretary w. w. Waters of the State Fair As sociation is asking the good mothers and fathers of this state. through the press of Arkansas, to enter their ba- bies in this contest, which is given un- der the Department of Health. Ar kansas Federation of Women's Clubs, assisted by the state Child Welfare Association. Entries for this contest will close on the opening day of the fair, and parents who desire to have their babies entered should write at once to Mrs C. w. Garrison, 506 North Volmer street, Little Rock. who is superintendent of this contest She will send them a circular containing full and complete instructions.
 Arkansas is proud of it's agricul- ture, mineral and livestock assets" declared Secretary Waters, land the state spends more money to get good hogs than it does good babies. The State Fair Association considers the Better Baby Contest" one of the most vital, important issues facing the future of the state, and we should take steps to learn what kind of ba- bies there are in Arkansas and make conditions such that they will have every advantage in their battle in life. I consider the question of the future for Arkansas babies mighty impor- tant issue, and as every county ih the state, nearly, will have an exhibit of it's other products, I want to see ba- bies entered from every county in this contest. The health of the baby means everything to every parent in Arkan- sas"
 The new Hot Springs-Little Rock highway, which runs through the most picturesque section of this part of the state, will be completed in time for the state fair and the capital city autoists will be here with great dele gation. Reports from county fairs indicate a greater quantity of higher class exhibits than have ever before been sent to the state fair.

There was very little farm work done here last week on account of the fair. Three of the Caney canning club girls won prizes at the fair and one of our boys won first premium in the boys corn club, and another in the boys cotton club. Caney boys and girls are hustlers, and we are proud of them
 Steger Crook got premium on a Duroc-Jersey hog and w. A. Phillips got a premium on a Poland China hog, which makes seven premiums to Caney. Next year we will come for an even dozen.
 We are glad to see by your corre- spondents that Sunday schools are progressing so we'll in our county, as nothing speats better for a commun- ity than good Sunday school In 20 years from now our children will be in control of our country and if we do our duty by them we need have no fear of the future. Rev. B. F. Musser of Hendrix Col iSSe anu T. R. DOuSldSS or conway visited our Sunday school last Sun day and Bro Musser preached very interesting sermon. We are sorry to announce that Bro. T. J.
