Arkansas Apples
 in Washington
PRIZE APPLES ARE PLACED on EXHIBIT IN DEPARTMENT
 OF AGRlc ULTURE

Little Rock, Dec. 22. Stat e pride must be given a boost by an examination of the magnifi- cent exhibit that is being placed in the department of agriculture. There are forty boxes of prize apples, shellaced for preserva- ton, and arranged in glass cases. There are five varieties, princi- pally the Gano, the Arkansas Black, the Mammoth Black Twig, the Wine Sap and the Ben Davis. They were grown by c. R. Craig 6 Co.,, H. w. Cripple, A. G.. Boyle, c. H. Curry, Julias Giger and G. M. Lincoln of Bentonville; L. D. Mclain of Rogers, and J. L. Baker of Marshall.
 There should have been some of Green Forests apples in this display. We are sure we have seen just as fine apples on dis play here this year, as there is in this display, and the growers have only missed another chance of advertising what they grow and get their fruit before the public. Let's get our resources before the people; if you have. an article creditable to display, dis play it. :"

house less than one-third of the crop and warehouses without a credit system lose 90 per cent of their usefulness. The problem is a gigantic one-too great for the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the bank CT, the merchant and the govern ment.
 In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the worlds history, but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of his tory we find agriculture blowing with a forked stick but with a system of warehouses under gov ernmental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel of civ illzation, for who has not ad- mired the visan of Joseph and applaudcd the wisdom of Pharoah for storing the surplus until de- manded by the consumer, but in this age we have too many Jo- sephs who dream and not enough Pharoahs who build.

SITJARY

Mrs. P. c. White died at the home of her son, J. I. White, November 29, and was laid to rest in the Carrollton cemetery, December 1. Mrs. White was well known here, having been a resident of Carroll county tn e past forty years. She is survived by five children, three sons and tive, daughters, E. w. White of Lyman, Washington, J. I. and J, B. White and Mrs. T. B. Bell, of this place, and Mrs. Mary C.. Benton of Abby ville, Kan. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Rue Porter. Dear Grandma is safe in Heaven
 Rejo icing with the angels sweet. To her he crown of life is given
 Which she has laid at Jesus feet, The dear one is sleeping now;
 Sleep on and take thy peaceful rest. The storms and cares of life are past
 She knows no sorrow there. Her life was full of deeds of love
 And some the world will never know, But they are known by those above
 And Christ who sees all here below. She stands on that bright, golden shore Watching to see her loved ones come, And Christ stands there to guide us on To Heavens bright home above. Dear is the spot where grandma lies.
 Oh! why should we in anguish weep? They are not lost but gone before,
 Who're our Father guides us safely there.

RAILROAD RATES INCREASED

Permission granted to the rail- roads in the east to increase their rates five per cent on many com modities may result in these lines beginning many improve ments.
 When a railroad begins to inn prove it buys lumber. This in- crease in rates may indirectly help the lumber business of the south.
 An increase in the west will probably follow. If the railroads of the west do secure an increase. improvements in the physical condition of the roads will begin at once.
 If the increase of 5 per cent in rates is followed by an in- crease in efficiency and service to the public there will not be much complaint.
 It is better that freight be fast and passengers be hauled safely and comfortably than that either be hauled at a price be- low cost.

POSSIBLE EFFECT OF CAMPAIGN

The close of last week marks the end of the Arkansas ed Herself" campaign, though the seed sowed by the field agents will not be allowed to lie dor.nantin the soil, the LittTs Rock directors being determined to carry on the work until crop planting time.
 In this campaign forty counties will be closely worked, with over 1,300 farm meetings. Over 20, .
 miles will be covered in auto -sz6oiles by the field representa- tives, and 30,000 miles will have been travelled by rail.
 Over 200, 900 articles on forage crops, live stock and poultry have been distributed among the farmers who asked for them.
 The principal factor in the suc- cess of the campaign is that it had been held in the rural com munities of the State. The cam paigners meeting at a central point and going from there to the different communities in auto mobiles supplied by local people. The local committees had full charge of all meetings and no meeting was held on a farm with out a previous request, which in- sured interest and attention. Every day a meeting was held at noon, and a dinner was provid- ed which attracted farmers for miles around, coming wi h their families, the women being in charge of well filled baskets.
 The bankers and business men are following the work of the campaigners, and in this manner make it possible for the farmer to buy his feed inside the State, and at the same time to practice the diversification of crops, which bankers and merchants have realized to be a necessity. They make it possible for the farmer to get the money to break away from the old one crop idea.
 The Profitable Farming cam paign will greatly reduce the cot ton acreage in Arkansas, for not only will the small farmers re- duce their cotton crops, but the large planters along the Ark ansas, the White, and o tn e r rivers, have expressed their in tention of making a material re- duction.
 One aftermath of this cam paign which will enrich the State at an alarming rate, is the in terest shown by the women and children. The children willraise pigs and chickens, and school meetings will keep this work going, instructions being given along with the school worK, in the care of chickens and hogs.

WAR TALK THAT'S DIFFERENT

WAN 1ALN uHAIS OIffENEN1
 Bicknell Young, a lecturer on Christian Science, said in sub- stance recently:
 It would amuse you to go into the restaurants in the Loop district in Chicago these days, and listen to that business, You would imagine from the way they talk that the bottom had dropped out, not only of business but of the whole earth. They sit there memorizing each other into the belief that because of something that is happening in Europe af- fairs have gone to pieces.
 T am reminded of an instance which happened some years ago. A man I had known came to me one night and said: MT. Young, I want to talk to you because my business is bothering the life out of me- l replied: My dear man, it is not the business that is bothering you; you are bothering the business. If you will let the business alone, it will get along very we'll. He saw the point and came to me six months later saying that he had stopped both- ering the business it got along famously. If some of our friends stop bothering their business these days with mesmeric sugges- tions of the influence of the European war upon present af- fairs, they will very soon find that the business will not bother them"
 And this is the truth fairly spoken. One hundred per cent of the business difficulties today are not imposed on the managers by the business, but are imposed on the business by the managers. We very cheerfully and grate- fully pass that sentiment on to our friends in the coal trade. Meanwhile, we are tempted to quote MT. Young further. In substance he said:
 And what is this war in Eu- rope? It is envy, in part; it is malice, in part; it is hatred, in part, it is false pride in part; it is misdirected ambition, in part; and tits greed, in part. All of those things are thoughts. They are things which men think about each other. If you want war, you do not have to go to the European battlefelds to get it. If you are envious, if you hate somebody, if you enter tain greed or false pride, or mis- directed ambition, or any of the other things which are causing war in Europe today, you have war within yourself right here in this country which is outward ly at peace.

kunsas City Live
 Stock Market
A RISE IN PRICES EXPECTED
 AFTER THE HOLIDAY VACATION!

VACAtIONs
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 21, 1914. Thursday and Friday there were signs of life in the cattle market, and an adequate test would have shown a slight advance. Today receipts are light at all points, 1000 head here and the market is strong to 15 higher on killing grades of cattle than the low point of the recent broke, stockers and feeders 15 to 25 higher. The capacity of the market for fat cattle will be linn ited this week and next, and if there is any advance it will be because the run is light. Poultry is now having it's inning. Com mission men say there will be a fair run of fat cattle in January, in which event there will not be much of an advance in prices. After January the run will drop off, according to authorities, and there will be 8 rise in prices. At the oil mills there are fewer cattle on feed than last year. but the Texas mills expect to put many more cattle on feed, and will eventually exceed last years feeding, provided they can get the cattle.
 A feature here last week was the purchase of several trains of feeding cattle to go to Oklahoma buyers being forced by lack of cattle in Texas to change their usual custom of buying there. Short fed cattle are coming. NNvsjE3hle near prime steers had a bid of $9.50 here last Tuesday, were sent to St Louis and had to sell there at $9. Other cattle forwarded in search of a better market sold lower at destination than bids here, Top quarantine steers today brought $7, Okla homa steers weighing 1904 lbs. Bulk of stockers and feeders sell at $6.75 to 7.65, one drove of HOO lb. feeders today, choice fleshy white faces, at S8.15, said to be 40 cents higher than last Thursday. The killers would have bought these cattle today at the price.
 Hogs have been selling close to steady for several days. The market opened 5 lower today, but the finish was steady to strong. This has been the course of the market each day for a week, indicating latent strength. Chicago has had too many hogs, and prices there are at present slightly lower than prices here. Top here today is $7.20, bulk of sales S6.95 to $7.15. Receipts are running rather light, except out of recently quarantined districts, and the market has probably touched low point for the winter.
 Sheep and lambs are selling 10 to 25 higher today, following several days of extreme sluggish ness late last week, due to mar keting of quarantined stuff at Chicago, and to bad mutton out let. Lambs broke worse than sheep, but there appears to be genuine recovery today, several lots of lambs bringing $8.25, al- though not strictly choice, ewes worth up to S5.60, light weight yearlings $7.50. Receipts are 5000 head, and the run will be light here indefinitely, as feeding is light in Kansas City's territory.

More Phhroahs Needed in

Farm products have no credit and perhaps can never have on a permanent and satisfactory basis unless we build warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc, for without storage and credit facili- ties, the south IS compelled to dump its crop on the market at harvest tilnle. The Farmers Unions in the cotton producing states have for the past ten years persistently Advocated the con- struction of storage facilities. We have built during this period 2,O00 warehouses with a capacity of approxim4 4tely 100000 bales and looking backward the results would seem encouraging, but looking forward. we are able to

EUROPEAN WAR SHAT. TIERS KING C0TTON'S
 THRONE
FLEECY STAPLE MUST PAY RANSOM INTO THE COZ

Nation Rings With Cries ol

 King Cotton has suffered more from the European war than any other agricultural product on the American continent. The shells of the belligerents have bursted over his throne, frightening his subjects and shattering his mark cts, and, panic-stricken, the na- tion cries out God save the king
 People from every walk of life have contributed their mite to- ward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wasd- robe shall contain only cotton goods; the press has plead with the public to 'buy bale";; bank CTS have been formulating hold ing plans; congress and legisla- tive bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers have grown eloquent ex- pounding the inalienable rights of His Majesty" and presenting schemes for preserving the fnan- cial integrity of the stricken staple, but the sword of Europe has proved mightier than the pc, Of America in fixing value upon this product of the sunny south. Prices have been bayonetcd, val ues riddled and markets decimat- | by the battling hosts of the keastern hemisphere until the , American farmer has suffered a 4xar loss of $4OO,OOO,OOO, and a lbale of cotton brave enough to enter an European port must pay ransom of half it's value or go to prison until the war is over. Hope of the Future Lies in Co.,
 operation.
 The Farmers Union, through the colum ns Of the press, wants to thank t he American people for the friendship, sympathy and as slstance given the cotton farm CTS in the hour of distress and to direct attention to cooperative methods n ecessary to permanent ly assist the marketing of all farm products.
 The prssent emergency pre- sents as grhve . situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to justify extraordinary relief measures, even to thS point of bending the constitution and straining busi- ness rules in order to lift DOT ton of the| burden off the backs of the farrh Der, for unless some thing is dohe to check the inva- sion of theF war forces upon the cotton heldS, the pathway of the European Hestilence on this con- tinent will be strewn with mort gagged hor1es and famine and
 
 poverty will stalk over the south- land, filing the highways of in- dustry with refugees and the bankruptcy court with prisoners.
 Al' calarnities teach us lessons and the present crisis serves to illuminate the frailties of our marketing methods and the weak ness of our credit system, and out of the financial anguish and travail of the cotton farmer will come volume of discussion and a mass of suggestions and finally a solution of this, the biggest problem in lthe economic life of America, if, indeed, we have not sready laid lthe foundation for at feast temporhry relief.
