Fair Extra Good

The County Fair opened today
with one of the finest displays of
agricultural products that any
county in the state can show In
every department there is a full
display, but a great many more
will arrive tomorrow, as a num-
ber of the Girls Canning Club
could not get here today.
Last year Franklin county
stood second at the Fort Smith
fair last year and tied with
Faulkner county at the Hot
Springs last year, and we uuder-
stand Charleston's fair was bet
ter this year and Ozark's fair is
far better so Franklin county has
a fine chance to stand first at
Fort Smith and Hot Springs this
year.
If YOU miss the fair, YOU will
regret it.

tools, and looking significantly at
Carnegie, said. Hi, YOU handsome

and turning to Pott, he continued,
Here can make handsome face, for

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR SPACE
Proposition Made by London Times
Does Not Seem AiIurins When
Thoroughly Analysed.

One never knows in what eccen-

Times is going TO break out nova

charged to insure the appearance OF
an In Memoriam' announcement in
the Times annually in perpetuity Is
Els for four lines, and pro rata"
No doubt, while their grief is fresh
upon them, many bereaved persons
of means will avail themselves of
this offer. One of the labor papers,
however. has had the impertinence
to work out a sum in arithmetic To
find out what this means. The in
terest on f15 at five per cent per
annum is Is shillings. The sdyer-
tiser, therefore, in addition to max
ing the Times capitalist TO the
extent of Els, is paving it Is shil-
lings for four-line In Memoriam'

charge for a single In Memoriam'

mighty good one; but the editor
goes without underclothes all
winter and don't wear any socks
and pa hain't paid his subscript-
ion since the paper started. |
ask pa if that was why the editor
had to suck the juice out of snow
balls in winter and to go to bed
in the summer when he had his
shirt washed.
Then pa got mad and took me
out in the woodshed and licked
me awful hard. If the editor
makes mistakes folks say he
aught to be hanged: but if the
doctor makes any mistakes he
buries them and people dassent
say anything because he can
read and write Latin. When the
editor makes mistakes there is
lawsuits and swearing and a big
fuss. but if the doctor makes one
there is a funeral cut flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor
can use a word a yard long with
out him or anyone knowing what
it means. but if the editor uses
one he has to spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another mans
wife. he charges the man for the
visit: but if the editor should go
he gets a charge of buckshot. "

Gives Timely Hints
To Wheat Growers.

1v VHIut OiVVC1 Cs
Arkadelphia, Oct. 2. If scores
of letters from practically every
county in the state to the Ark
adelphia Milling Company rela-
tive to seed wheat is indicative
of the growth of a new agricul-
tural industry in Arkansas, the
farmers of this state are going to
solve the cotton question in the
next year. This mill for the past
six weeks has advertised in the
Arkansas Gazette the best seed
wheat for sale at cost to the
farmer. Scores have taken ad-
vantage of the offer and hun
dreds of bushels of wheat are be-
ing shipped for planting.
The benefit will be mutual, as
the mill prefers good Arkansas
wheat to any other. Seventy
five thousand bushels of Arkan-
sas wheat purchased this year
and made into flour proved to the
millers that no wheat in superior
to the Arkansas product. The
Arkadelphia Milling Company
agrees to pay the highest mar
ket price
ADVICE TO FARMERS
Following are some hints to
planters in Arkansas by w. N.
Adams, manager of the Arkadel-
phia Milling Company:
BY all means, first turn the
land with heavy stirring plow
as deep as possible. After do
ing this. harrow the land well
and if possible drag the ground
with heavy drag to pack the
land thoroughly.
Wheat should be sown with
a press drill if possible, and we
would suggest that the rows run
north and south as this will give
the sun a better chance to get
down into the soil. We are ad-
vising our friends who have very
rich soil to SOW about a bushel
and a peck to the acre, and those
who have fairly rich soil to SOW
about a bushel to the acre, while
very lean land should not take
over three pecks to the acre.
We recomend that after sthe
wheat comes up three or four
inches it will be we'll to use it as
pasture all winter except in ex-
treme wet spells of weather.
The wheat can be sown as late
as November l in this part of the
South with gratifying results,
but of course it is best to get it
in early in October. In selecting
seed wheat for the farmers Of
this section we have chosen the
very best Country Run Southern
Missouri and Southern Illinois
No. 2 red wheat. which we think
is the best wheat to be used in
Arkansas.
The matter of soil is largely
a personal preference. Some
Missouri farmers claim that
heavy black buckshot land is the
best. Tennessee farmer
likes the light sandy loan tn
best. |. the land is well drained
either will make excellent wheat.
We are partial TO the sandy
