EVERYTHING RIPE FOR THE HAIR
 VEST.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: With most of us, the good old summer time is over The children are back in school and we must get the fall canning and pickling done while the vegetables are in their season. l pre- sume there will not be so much su- gar used this fall, it has scared so high. Many are canning without us- ing any sugar.
 We have not had any frosts, but everything seems fully ripe and ready for the harvester. The farmers wives surely are glad when the silos are filled. I know of one little woman who had fourteen men to feed for two days. I for one much prefer to cook for men with good country appetites, When the heft of the farm work is over how good it looks to see the farmer with his wife and children driving across country on a visit to some friend or relative, forgetting for time their. strenuous work. in the full enjoyment of the trip.
 There are few who take those pleas ures now, as families are not as con- genial as years ago. Mothers cannot endure the hard work-get nervous they call it The more they scold and nag the worse it is for the. whole family. Try meeting your. husband with smile and the old love light in your eyes. and see if he does not appreciate it and help to tighten you1 burden. hear someone say: Tt would be no use to try that with my hus- band" Then he must be a hardened brute.
 We surely get some good ideas from the Social Corner writers. We hope to meet more of them another year It was a pleasure to attend some oi the picnics. .5 -5
 Have any of the Sisters used fold. ing bath tub? If so please report ir The Corner if it was satisfactory.
 Let us help to take the kinks ou of somebody's life today by saving something good and kind. Contribute some joy to some life if it is onl! scratching pigs back.
 Best wishes. @ ROXANNA VINCE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- I do not believe in resignation as much as I do in spunk. I do not be- live in waiting for the Lord to correct trials which are homemade and which he expects the makers to abate. Lean ing on the Lord with your whole weight must annoy Him and not help us Leaning is not doing as I under stand it, but just loafing. We have to be resigned to things we can't help but not to neglect. persecution or brutality. We have to be resigned If

Section of Act Mo- 3 will tend to bring about correct tax assessments in Arkansas. The question of taxa tion has always been a big ploblem. to make it equal and uniform. Some times assessors have their favorites, and then the equalization boards and county courts are busy for time. The publication of these proceedings, showing what assessments have been raised or lower, will promote honesty In tax assessing, and the dodger will be compelled 10 assess the large hold, ings which heretofore have escaped unasseSsed. Thus a reduction in taxes may be expected by the honest tax payer, because the revenue will have been greatly increased and in this manner alone Act No 8 will mora than pay its own way.

w. C. I. U. NOTES
BY THE LOCAL UNION

No doubt many of my readers are familiar with some section, if not all, of Act. No. l, proposed by initiative petition, relative to the Child Labor Law.
 The w. c. T. U. of Forrest City, Ark, wishes to be understood as en- dorsing verbatim ct literatim this Act.
 Probably more unrest and indecis- ion is felt over section l, than all of the other sections of this act.
 The thoughtful and observant per. sons know, however, that very few children under the age of fourteen years are procurable for any kind of labor or employment. The section is as follows:
 No child under the age of four teen shall be permit ed 10 worK in any remunerative occupation in this state. except that during school vaea- tion children under fourteen years may be employed in occupations owned or controlled by them"
 Children in some of the stores in our own town have been on duty as long as from fourteen to sixteen hours per day How long, reader, do you think our youths can resist attacks of nervous prostration, neurasthemia or similar mental break-downs with out the allotted hours for rest and recreation prescribed by physicians, philosophers and students upon this subject?
 Mothers, procure copy of The Times of recent issue in which this Act, No. l is printed in it's entirety Familiarize yourself with it and be able to discuss it's meritorio1sness with some voter.
 Compulsory education goes hand in hand with this act. As rela ing to our negro population and its possible interference with the produc ion of our chief crop, cotton, we would call your attention, voters, to the pres ent arrangement of the negro school term. It does not now interfere with the working of their crops-we have no reason to believe that it would do so should this act, reple'e with bene- fit for the children of the ate, triumph in the coming election,
 Mothers, we appeal to you who have ever championed the cause of their children of today who become the men of tomorrow, to exert your in- tluence to procure votes for the bet terment of conditions applicable to children who are employed in yari- ous working capacities, such hours and surroundings as win produce braiuy, braWuy manhood Cor Sec'y.

It is rather hard to believe that we have s23, 900, worth of meat ship ped into Arkansas yearly and we have only about S60,000 00s cotton crop. 1t is hard to believe that there is $l2,000,0oo, annually spent for dairy products from other States that could be raised in Arkansas. Over half of cotton money spent for two articles that we could raise at home if we would only do so, says John H. Page, Commissioner of Agriculture.
