Farm Facts.
Those who ill the soil are the
chosen people of God.

Those who ill the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development
No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he
does of his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full de-
velopment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the
farmers work is that everything he
plants is lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of himself
We must give to the people who
live OIL the farm the same educa-
tional advantages for their children
as those of the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency
of much potentiality because the
rural life movement is religious as
well as industrial and social.
There should be social and an
industrial survey of every commu-
nifty. The pastor, the teacher and
the school and church officials are
they who should make such a sur
Vey.
In recent survey of a commu-
nifty in New England, the average
annual income of 154 farmers who
has a common school education
was 1929, while the average net in
come of 1872 farmers of the same
locality with high school educa-
tion was 1882 annually. This was
worth to each farmer who possess
ed it $253 each year.

Not like other people, we'll say,
Perhaps | do things rather funny

Unlike any other at all,
But it doesn't cause me any worry.

At other times bluishly sad.

So when anyone roasts you, don't

And whatever you do, don't you

Hand one back just as good, with
the message:
I'm just what | am that's all.

On the same sort of duplicate

No woman is like to another;
And the same may be said ol

A Stranger Can Do the Business.


To show how people will take to
strangers proposition, an incl
dent occurred here recently that
will illustrate.
A real estate dealer came here
about month ago and got up a
railroad timetable and calendar,
to be printed on cardboard. He
ordered 700 of them. These calen-
dars had cards of fifteen business
houses on each, and for each card
he received $500 or a total of
$500 for two days work, less the
cost of printing and mailing, which
was only about $16. The point is
that he took out little over $50
clear money. Being a stranger was
his chief asset as no home man
would have had nerve enough to
ask one-half the amount per card
that he received. We also under
stand he did not live up strictly to
his agreements. which a home man
would have done or been called to
account. -Shelbina Democrat.

DEAN SUMNER


extending down to the recent cru
SADIE, also his stand for reforms in
the marriage laws, have brought
him particularly in prominence.
The magazines and the newspapers
have commented most extensively
on his work, the metropolitan press
in particular. Many of Americas
greatest men have also spoken of
him and what he is doing in most
enthusiastic terms.
DR.. Frank W. Gunsaulus, often
referred to as the Worlds greatest
preacher" in the Chicago Record
Herald not long ago had this to say;
Many months ago a commission
was appointed in Chicago; 1t was
called the Vice Commission-Its
head was the most valiant Dean
Sumner-easily our most outstand-
ing man of sagacity and heroism in
treating the social evil problems in
Chicago"
The Chicago Tribune had this to
say: Into the darkest places of
the West Side district Dean Sumner
of the Cathedral carried a little of
the light of the Star of Bethlehem
into the resorts in his annual tour
of calls. In three hours he made
seventy-fve speeches to $50 wom-
en- who hear little of genuine good
cheer or experience human sympa-
thy. I have come to wish you a
Merry Christmas and to bring you
a Xmas Card. Hang it upon your
bureau or mirror, and if you are
ever sick or in trouble or are in
sorrow read the address and come
to us. You will always find a
friend! AS this speech was made,
the tears plowed burrows through
the rouge and powder on the paint
ed cheeks. Even the policemen
who accompanied the Dean pulled
their hats down to hide the eleam
of moisture in their eyes, and one
girl burst out sobbing as if her
heart would break"
Here is an Editorial from the
Chicago Tribune: Chicago can con-
template philos0phically an exodus
of capitalists, who. having made
fortunes here, think they can get
more enjoyment out of them in
New York. 1t would be quite a
different matter to lose a man who
has done the good work Dean Sum-
ner has in this community sanely.

Me Laughlin raised a point of order against Judge Curl.
 John Hoskins stated to the bar that the rejection of the committee report would practically mean insult to the [ Chamber of Commerce and the people | interested in a commission form of government. He called attention to | the fact that the Chamber of Com merce. interested only in public wei | fare, had requested the bar to prepare | a bill for a commission form of gov ernment, and if the bar refused to do so it would only follow as right and proper that the Chamber of Commerce should then ask litte Rock lawyers for advice on such matters.

 When Judge Iakenan saw that the

 he offered as a substitute that the bar

LONSDALE HELPS
 COTTON GROWERS
ATTENDED CONFERENCE YES. TERDAY IN WASHINGTON TO
 HELP DEVISE SOME PLAN.
"n Time of War Nothing is Too Radical" Says Former Hot Springs Man Now Cooperating to Help the Southern Producers.

John G. Lonsda4e, formerly of Hot Springs, was yesterday in Washington in conference with cotton growers. shipping agents, and manufacturers. who, with Secretary McAdoo. were de- yisine ways and means for taking care of the cotton crop situation.
 Mir. Lonsdale has ideas of his own on the abnormal situation in the cot ton trade of the United States and If what should be done to relieve it. He said:
 Tt is condition and not a theory that confronts us today If the Qucs- ton were how to finance the cotton crop of 1915, which has not yet been planted, the problem would be com paratyely simple That is not the case
 "The cotton crop Is a credit crop. By that | mean that money has been advanced on cotton not yet picked ever since the early part of the year. t will not become money crop, however. until it has been harvested. The farmer has bought fertilizer and supplies on credit from the store keeper and the latter i'll turn has bor- rowed from the cotton factor and from his local bank and the local banks in their turn have borrowed funds from their correspondents in monetary centers such as New York, New Orleans, Chicaeo and St. Louis, etc.
 with all of these credits accumu- lated against our cotton crop, the planter suddenly finds himself de- rrived of the naturai markets for his
 staple. He cannot raise the money | to pay debts he contracted months ago and the whole chain of credits ls weakened. What must he done is to find some way to finance the crop of possibly 14000,0G0 bales, picking Of
 which has just been begun, since 1t
 cannot be converted into money in
 the usual way
 '1t is estimated by those who keep systematic accounts Of costs that cot
 ton cannot be produced at cost of less than to 10 cents a pound. Ii Is well known that farmers sell their crop more rapidly in a declining mar ket than in an advancing one; they
