should be made and some new fea lures introduced. It would probably be wise to reduce the admission fec Tn order to attract greater crowds The main object of the fair is to show to as many people a.s possible the best that can be produced in all it's varied departments. This, object should be constantly impress ed upon the people and the exhibits in the agricultural horticultural and stock and poultry departments ought to be at least three times as great as ever before
 AS incentive to our people, it would be well to import from other states for show purposes specimens of the best cattle, horses, hogs and chickens that are produced in the United States.
 One of the most pleasant and prof. table features of the first county fair held at Conway was the gathering to- gether of hundre eds of former citizens of Faulkner county from all parts of the country This feature was not emphasized in the subsequent fairs, but we ought to make the week of October to 10 another great home coming week Friends or relatives of those citizens who have left Faulk- her county to make their homes else where ought to write to those former citizens and invite and urge them to come to their old home for fair week.

BOOST THE FAIR.

On account of numerous adverse conditions the Faulkner county fair last October incurred small deficit and a few timorous citizens have ex- pressed the opinion that the enter prise ought to be abandoned and that 1t is doomed to failure.
 The directors of the association however, have taken the sensible view that the Faulkner county fair is a permanent institution and that in- stead of being abandoned it ought to be made bigger and better than ever before. In this decision we believe they will have the endorsement and cooperation of vast majority of Faulkner county citizens.
 But to make the fair the success that it ought to be some changes

THE PREACHERS SALARY.

Much is being said through the columns of the Western Methodist about the disproporticnate salaries of the Methodist pastors and their pre- siding elders. Rev. W. H. Cloninger of Appleton, in a communication in the Methodist this week, says on this subject:
 "The following statistics are glean- ed from the Arkansas Conference Annual, 1913:
 ''The average salaries paid the 97 pastors was $606.79. Ten pastors re- ceived $1,200 or over; Is pastors re- ceived $1,000 or over; 53 pastors re- ceived less than $500; 35 less than $400; 20 less than $275; 13 less than $225; 6 less than $50. Five P F. s received an average of $2,092. These figures include the regular mission appropriation, but do not include the specials so generously given by three churches, viz: Morrilton, $349; Rus selville SIP; Fort Smith Central, S130, a part of which went to the support of pastors on the poorer charges (perhaps alD. Nearly all of those receiving less than $400 had to keep a horse, many of them buggy. That means feed and blacksmith bills. Some of them had to make long moves at the end of the year. And yet these same heroic self-sacrificing men sur prise the world by their Eberality when there is collection at con ference or elsewhere.
 An average carpenter earns more than the average circuit preacher. A farm hand with one good horse can earn more; to say nothing of clerks, school teachers, doctors, lawyers and business men. Verify it takes man of self sacrificing spirit to enter the itinerary"
 Some of the correspondents urge that the salaries of the presiding elders be reduced and those of the pastors be raised, but Rev. Cloninger suggests that the remedy lies first in omre spiritually among the masses and secondly in a greater publicity of church.

II woman's beauty depended upon

deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority Of cases the basis OF

be traced to the action OF the bowels.
The headache, the lassitude. the sal
low skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due 10 constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do mot eat
carefully. they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily,
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.

CANAL WILL AID
HAWAIIAN SUGAR GROWERS

Secretary Redfcld last night gave out
an interview on the subject OF probable
shipments of freight through the Pana-
ma Canal He finds that at present the
principal shippers OF freight over the
Tehauntepec Railway line are the Hawai-
ian sugar producers. The destination of
their shipments is New York. At New
York these cons:gnments are delivered
20 the refiners. Secretary Redfield said in
part:
Tn connection with the discussion con-
cerning Panama Canal tolls the question
as to who will be the largest shippers
through the canal has perhaps an incl
dental interest II 1t be assumed that
the carriers will. as they say, distribute
the charges over the freight tonnage
carried. the question as to which particu-
lar kind of freight might have to as
sumo the burden has some interest. Pos
sibly answers to certain questions may
throw light on the situation.
who are at present the largest
shippers over the Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec? The sugar growers of Hawaii.
ITO whom are their shipments made?
To the sugar refiners in and about New
York.
DO these shipments amount to a
great deal? In the last fiscal year they
were 52S,O0O.OOO pounds. or 26i,OO0 net
tons.
Have the sugar growers of Hawaii
complained that the reduction of tariff
on sugar and the coming free sugar
will be injurious to them? They have.
In the present method OF shipment
over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec arc
there two trans-shipments of freight-one
on the west coast of Mexico. another on
the east coast. and a railroad freight
charge between? There are. and the
through rate from Hawaii to New York
must include the cost of such transfer
ence and freight charge.
Would not the opening of the canal
do away with these two transfers ami
the railway charge? It would. and doubt
less the sugar growers would be bene-
fitted thereby and properly So"
