bushels per acre, a gain there fore of 25 bushels per acre.
 2,475, ,000 acres at a gain of 25 bushels per acre give a to- tal gain of 61,S75, ,000 bushels Cf corn, which at 70 cents per buSf- el, and this is reasonably low. would give an increase in dollars and cents in the corn production in Arkansas for 1913, of $43, 312, ,5OO.00, had every acre Of corn in Arkansas been worked
 There have been approximate ly 2,400,000 acres of cotton grown in Arkansas, in 191$. The average yield per acre in the state is about 570 pounds of seed cotton. The boys have ay- eraged 10S1 pounds of seed cot ton per acre. There has there fore been g gain in round num- bers of 300 pounds per acre. 2,4O0,0OO acres with gain of 300 pounds per acre, would give 9 total gain of lint cotton of 0O,O00,000 pounds, which at 10 cents per pound, and this is reasonably low, would give q gain in dollars and cents of $40 OOO,OO0, had every acre in cot ton in Arkansas been grown un- demonstration club methods. Arkansas therefore would have been over $8O,0O0,O00 to the good had every acre of corn and cotton been grown under demon stration club methods. l leave it for the reader to say whether the demonstration club work IS worth while.

Is The Work Worth While.

The question has been asked me if the work of the Corn, Cot ton and Canning Clubs is really worth while, and what there is 10 it. A few figures will, l think, show the merits of the work. Approximately there are 2,475,- 900 acres of corn in Arkansas in 1913. The average yield per acre of the state is about 20 bushels. The Corn Club boys have made an average of 45

THREE CASES
 OF SMALLPOX
At Batesville Prevent Church Services and Other Public
 Gatherings.

Batesville, Jan. 25.-Dr. J. H. kennerly, county health officer, and Dr. Stark Craig, city health officer, report a total of three cases of smallpox, two of the patients being on the road to recovery, and child just strick- en.
 The first case was that of a woman employed in a boarding house. She was immediately is- plated, and the boarding house closed and quarantined. One of those who had been directly ex- posed to the first case, also took the disease, and Thursday a child living in the neighborhood of the two cases was declared to have smallpox.
 A mass meeting attended by a number of citizens and officers of the city for the purpose of investigating the conditions, and providing for the expense of conducting a strict quarantine of those afflicted, was held this morning. It was decided an ap- propriation of $500 will be made by the city council, and a simi- far sum will be raised among business men of the city, if it becomes necessary to have more funds to handle the situation.
 This action is taken as a pre- caution only to prevent the spread of the disease, and that there shall be no lack of funds to provide comfortably for those who might be stricken, or those quarantined in need of help. There will be no services at any of the churches on account of the order issued by the board of health in regard to the situ- ation, not that there are so many cases of the disease, but this pre- caution is taken solely in the in- terest of the people, and the community, and it is generally meeting the approval of the people.
 The health officers have been dilligent in keeping those cases strictly quarantined, and in or der to afford the best protection possible to the people, all pub lie gatherings have been forbid den for the present.
 This order will not affect the public schools, as every child at tending must be vaccinated, and all of them were given this at- tention last summer when we had a few cases here.

To Secure Power From River.


 c. A. Barton of Chicago, cleo trical expert, is at the hotel Rhea this week. MT. Barton rep resents system that is destined to revolutionize the power ques- tion and is exploring Black Riv- CT for a location. The govern ment permits him to use navi- gable streams. The scheme is to harness the power of the stream without building a dam, however concrete arms are per missible in rivers to concentrate the current at one point. The great trouble with electrical plants is the cost of fuel to pro- duct the power. Power thus produced in Black Rock can be made and delivered to Walnut Rige at a cost below the actual cost of making it with fuel. The river is constant, like Tennyson's brook, it flows on forever. Mr. Barton says Arkansas has the best water power facilities to be found in the United States, and there is no reason why it should not be a New England in manu- ifactories.-Walnut Ridge Blade.

 will contribute one of it's best citizens. Through a system of roads instead of individual road Improvement districts, there will be an estimated saving of 15 per cent.
 The Iron Mountain railroad has an assessed valuation of one and a quarter million dollars in Jackson county, and yet Mr. Carter assures the advocates of the proposed road system that the railroad companies are not only willing to stand their share of the tax but to haul the rock at about half of the tariff rate. Why do they do this? Because they have found that roads de- velop a country, increase it's productive capacity and thus furnish more outgoing freight and consume more incoming freight.
 Every farmer, every land owner, every merchant, business and professional man ought to be and is interested for the same reason. The mud tax is the biggest tax Jackson County is paying today and we are all paying it. The man, who never travels a mile over the country roads is paying it, just the same as the farmer, who lives at the ether end and uses two teams and two drivers, where only one should be necessary, who short. ents the life of his stock many years and reduces the life of his wagon, buggy and harness the same way.
 If we would only stop tofgure how the earning capacity of ev- cry man in the county is lessen- ed by reason of roads impass- able or almost, a portion of the year and none too good the re- mainder, then the people would insist upon a change of methods and expenditures. Such a plan will be submitted for their ap- proval. To be made effective, it must have their endorsement. Let us all awake to the pres ent opportunity and lend the project our active and loyal SUD- port. Let us acquire for this generation and ourselves what the county can we'll afford. Let's pay a reasonable road tax rath- CT than an excessive, grinding mud tax.
