 The safe was found to contain nothing but the accounts of the company. After auditing the books and finding them to be in good condition the get-a- way was made, so far proving sue cessfully.

Horses And Mules
 For The War.

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the streets of Ozark were crowded with horses and mules especially the larger anil mals. most of them being above average height. The occasion for this seemingly Horsetraders' Convention was the presence in town of a representative of a supply company furnishing the French army with horses and mules. There was very little trading done here as the prices offered were so low that few of our owners saw fit to sell. The company bought three horses and six mules.

Only A Leaf.
Governor

When we see a leaf fall from a tree do we wonder how that leaf can be converted into money
 Hardly! lis only a leaf.
 Yet at this season of the year there are countless billions of leaves falling from trees, and every single leaf is of value if the human brain cares to utilize 1t.
 These leaves can be swept into a pile in the back yard, or else where, and converted into a compost heap for use on the garden next summer. There is no better fertilizer.
 They will make the radishes. the string beans, tomatoes and other garden truck spring into life as if touched by a magic wand. They will be a constant reminder that even the drop ping of a leaf is not without its commercial value.
 Convert your leaves into wealth 'Tis an easy thing to do.

Using The Razor Back As
 A Substitute For Cotton

Now that circumstances have convinced everyone of the need of growing more livestock on Arkansas farms the next ques- tion is, where to get the breed ing stock with which to begin to produce the type of stock that the market demands. In the case ospork production which af- lords the opportunity 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 good pure bred boar. The offspring from such breed- ing will in large degree possess the type and quality of the boar, the chief requirements of the SOW being size. maturity. prolifi- cacy and good mothering quali- 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 a cull cot.
 While it would be imposs ible in any reasonable time to stock the farms of the state with sows of good breeding. it would be a comparatively easy matter to bring enough good boars into every country 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 a fondness for the type the fact remains that it would add hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the annual state income from the pork growing industry and would keep as, much more from going out of the state for pack ing house products.
 When the truth of the above statement dawns fully upon the farmers of Arkansas it won't be long until the transformation is complete. The wise ones will accept it at once, from those by whom it has already been proven and look to this means to help solve their now embarrassing problems.
