Measurino Mans Worth.

Dr. Katherine M. H. Blackford told the Efficiency society at its annual meeting some of the ways of meas uring mans worth almost as accur- ately as though his moral and mental qualities could be placed upon the scales. All that the man doing the measuring has to do is to keep tab on something like 54 characteristics and qualifications. One must be very careful not to make mistakes" Doc tor Blackford admi- cd. There was a foreman once who expressed dissat- isfaction with the methods. He showed his tables. The group of workmen under him measured up: Cheerfulness, 100 per cent; accuracy, orderliness, 100 per cent. Then asked his employer, what's the mat ter?' 'Aw,' said the foreman, they're so darned gloomy"

LITTLE ROCK WATER
 FIGHT NEARING END
COMPANY SIGNS AGREEMENT TO MEET ALL DEMANDS
 MADE BY THE CITY.

Little Rock, July BOA settlement of the long standing controversy be- tween the city of Little Rock and the water company seems nearer a con- summation. The company agrees to all the demands that have been made by the city for the improvement of it's plant to provide an adequate sup ply of water for public and domestic consumption. But it is asking IF months in which to install it's new machinery and this is causing some complaints among the citizens who ask immediate relief. There are some, also, who think that the company should be forced to seek some other source of supply than the Arkansas river. It has not been demonstrated whether a sufficient supply can be gotten from deep wells, and opinions differ upon that subject. It is pre- dicted that the time is coming when the city will be obliged to look else where for it's water supply.
 The present franchise has IT years to run yet.

URGES FARMERS SOW
 FALL FORAGE CROPS
COMMISSIONER PAGE SUG- GESTS KAFFIR CORN, COW
 PEAS, ALFALFA, ETC.

Little Rock, Aug. 3.-John H. Page. commissioner of agriculture, IS in receipt of number of requests for advice on what crops can be planted now for fall feed to take the place of corn in those sections where corn has been burned. MT. Page says: "l do not believe that it will be a good investment to try kaffir corn now un- less we were fortunate enough to get a rain as soon as the seed was put in the ground If that was certain, kaffir corn would be good late. crop. I would advise the cross between kaffir and milo-feterita, which in my opinion will mature before frost. Write w. D. Bentley, state agricul- ual agent, Oklahoma City, Okla., for detailed information as to seed, etc.
 We must not go back on the re- liable COW pea. It is oftentimes hard to get profitable stand even of these on account of dry weather. However, the COW pea IS as sure as any late crop we can get. and benehts the land. Sorghum is another that we can depend on. A farmer wrote me that he had 150 hogs, would not make any corn scarcely, and wanted to fatten the hogs for market. Peter ita, COW peas, rape and sorghum are the best crops that can be planted at any time now also. Preparation should be made for alfalfa, wheat, rye and oats also. Many of our farmers in southern Arkansas are getting m their fall Irish potatoes and are very optimistic. It is rather late for soy beans, peanuts and similar crops, and we must prepare for shortage of feed"

 B|CfLOW PEOPLE

Rev. Bob Cook of Vilonia, Ark, has been holding revival services here for the past week and will continue for another week, says the Bigelow Citizens Press. Good crowds are at tending the services and several have professed religion and several have had their experience renewed and have promised to live better lives.
 Rev. Cook is a hard hitter and ''hews to the hne' regardless of where the chips happen to fall and but few attend his meetings, but what gets the ''hide peeled off ere they leave, but it seems to be having wholesome effect on quite number. Cook deals in hard facts and truths and while he at times says some pretty hard things, yet all must confess that they are truths-and truths that need to be driven home.

LITTLE THINGS IN BUSINESS
In Many Ways They Have an Impor- tance That at First Seems Out
 of Proportion.

A seemingly insignificant word is Detail, but have you ever stopped to consider that success is dependent on 1t in a large measure or that failure may be the outcome, if you neglect the most trivial detail?
 Competition today is so keen that the alert and energetic business man will make it a point to see that the smallest and seemingly unimportant part of his business has the same care and attention as the most i'm portant parts, for it is the looking after these little things that assists in materially increasing your business and putting it on a higher plane.
 We are prone to attach little sig uificance to letter writing and still have you ever realized that your let ter is a true index to your business methods, and that carefulness in writ ing is essential, for the impression it conveys is very important?
 The receiving of complaints and the adjusting of them is another es- pecial detail How many future sales are assured by proper adjustment of some wrong, whether real or fancied, and, too, consider the good impression you have helped to promote.
 If we were to attempt to enumerate all the trifes there still would be some missing when we got through, for the little things that need your attention are so varied and happen ing so unexpectedly they necessitate constant watching.

RAPID PROGRESS ON STREET PAVING
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 Rapid progress on the work of lay ing concrete paving in District No. l was being made by Contractors Hal ter & McCulloch up to the time the work was interrupted by the heavy rain this afternoon. The paving was started Saturday on the east end of the district on East Oak street, and the contractors state that if the rate is kept up about 800 square yards per day can be paved. As there are 12,- 900 yards of paving in the district, this will require only about "A work ing days to complete the job.
 On account of high percentage of slate contained in it Engineer G. H.. Burr has condemned the crushed rock furnished from Little Rock concern for the paving, and gravel from 'Sa- line county pits is being used. This, it is believed. will furnish a much harder and better wearing surface than the trap rock from the Little Rock crushers.

The inspector also issued a bulletin
today that he is to introduce new
method for selling creamery butter.
Must Weigh Butter.
''1f person asks for half pound
of butter it is the custom to cut a
pound roll through the middle and
give them one half of it without weigh
ing" explained Mckinley. while the
grocer makes no additional profit by
selling butter in this manner one per-
son is almost sure to get less than a
half pound, while the purchaser of the
other half gets more than a half
pound. I want the merchants to weigh
each half cake of creamery butter and
charge for the actual weight of it.
That will make it a square deal all the
way round"
