Last Day For Ducks.

Next Thursday, January 15, will be the last day for the duck hunters to enjoy their sport un- til the season opens next fall. The closed season on killing ducks, geese and other water fowl in Arkansas begins Janu- ary 15. The open season begins November 1 of each year and remains open during the re- mainder of the fall and winter months until January 15,
 This year has been an excep- tionally lucky one for hunters. The fat mallards and wild geese together with other species of the toothsome game, have in- fested the rice fields and water places of the state in great numbers. Because of the mild weather, several species of the late migrating birds were scarce, but the mallard, the king of the ducks, has been plen- tiful. Many ''big kills' have been made.

JUDGE EUGENE LANKFORD
 WITHDRAWS FROM RACE
Finds Duties As Judge Will Not Permit Him to Make
 Canvass

Judge Eugene Lankford has decided not to make the race for congress from the Fifth district as has been his intention. Many of his friends here expressed their surprise and regret when they read in Sunday mornings paper the news of his withdraw al. His reasons for the course he has taken are fully set forth in the following letter:
 T think I should give my friends and the people of my dis trict my reasons for not mak ing the race for Congress at this time, in view of the many solic- itations and the scores of letters that l have received from friends rendering me their sup port in the race.
 "As many of you know, I pre- ferred all along to wait till next time, two years from now, to make this race, but many of my friends insisted that now is the time," and I was led to be- lieye that I would have time be- tween courts to make the cam paign and they still assured me that I can win in this "three- cornered race" if 1 will take the time to canvass the district.
 But after due considera- tion of the matter l do not be- lieve I shall have time to make the campaign in the short time we have, without neglecting my official duties, and that l will not do. The fact that "others do it." does not satisfy my con- science
 'I think that an officer should first comply with the contract he makes with the people when they elect him, and prove faith full to his duty in the office he has. before he asks the people for other favors.
 My life's ambition is to serve you in Congress, but I had rath- CT have your respect and confi- dence and the consciousness of doing my duty, and be a private citizen, than be president and be without these. Some politicians may not understand that, but ordinary honest people will.
 "When my time as circuit judge expires I shall retire to Iprivate life, practice law and look after my Jersey farm" And if, in the future date (when I have the time and money to make the race,) I should think that you will honor me by elect ing me to Congress, l shall gladly consider it.
 "This note explains why l have not announced, and am not candidate at this time.
 'T wish to thank all my friends for their friendly inter- est in my behalf.
 Your Friend,
 Eugene Lankford.

I Time at Gilbert, July 9TH.

Gilbert, the red.hot town down
the road in Searcy county which has
the only saloon in North Arkansas,
had a 4th Of July celebration which
shows what one little grog shop can
do for a public gathering,
Men fought everywhere, up and
down the streets and even women
took part in what developed into
one continuous brawl One man,
Oliver Hill, was cut and stabbed by
one Carl Ducks 1t was at first re-
ported that Hill had died, but he
may recover Dr. J, 7, Keeling, be-
came involved in a quarrel with Sam
and Arthur Moore, and was badly
beaten Even the saloon men be-
came frightened at their own work
and closed the doors of the saloon,
It's said the good people Of Searcy
county will take steps to close it
forever, More than u score Of peo'
pie were injured in the mad orgy.

quarters on the ground floor of the
arge building, The display is the
result Of much study, for in order to
present it in it's most attractive
form, the best use must be made of
all available space, An architect
volunteered his services, and not
only arranged the display cases, but
designed new ones which might be
placed on the walls In this manner
the Arkansas grains may be protect
ed from weevil and mice, and the
fruit display is indeed attractive,
For many months the officials Of the
department have been putting aside
exhibits, saving them for the new
display room. Now that it is COM
pleted they have been brought from
the storeroom, and the magnitude
of the dis play will amaze even the
biggest Arkansas booster. The fruit
exhibit is TO be one of the best. The
apple cases are so arranged that
they can be filled weekly with fresh
fruit, and every plate will show off,
no matter how far it is from the
visitor,

PatrOnizing Home Industry.

"Patronizc home industry" is a
slogan that looks well in print,
sounds well in a public address and
is hne thing if carried into actual
practice but the man who advises
his neighbors 70 patroni2c home in
dustry, then buys practically all Of
his needs IN some other town or city,
is setting mighty poor example
and falls far short Of being a good
citizen.
The home printer, the home furni.
turc dealer, the home clothing mcr.
chant, all have their eyes on the citi.
zen who advises his neighbors to pa.
troni2c home industry, but spends
his own money elsewhere, And who
can blame them,
We are dependent upon one anoth-
err and if our town is TO be made the
best town everyone must do his part
towards potronizing home industry
and keeping at home themoncy need.

SHEAF GRAINS FOR EXHIBITION
Fairs OF the state offer Liberal Prl-
zee For Best SheaVes of
Wheat and Cats.

The fairs of the state offer liberal
prizes for the best sheaves of various
varieties of wheat and of oats. In
addition to this, sheaf grains offer
one of the most attractive means of
decorating agricultural exhibits,
whether they be farm, township or
county exhibits. The attractiveness
will depend upon the manner in
which the sheaves are put up.
For general display purposes, the
sheaves should be about four inches
in diameter at the middle band.
The heads should be placed even and
then the butts trimmed even, They
should be wrapped near the heads,
at the middle and at the butt end.
The straw should be left As near the
natural length as is possible, 1t is
not necessary that the sheaves be
stripped from the grain, but the
stripping will make the sheaves
more attractive,
Since the Judging is based upon
the size Of the head and the quality
ofthe grain, only 6rst.class heads
should be put into these sheaves,
The heads should be well formed
and no head with shrunken. shivel.
cd, or diseased grain should be al.
lowed to enter the sheave,
1t is preferable to harvest the shcai
material Just before it is thorough.
ly ripe, Cure it out in the shade and
hang with the heads down. It
should be covered with paper or
some other material TO keep out the
dust, Be certain to save out some
good sheovcs to exhibit at the coun.

A GLORIOUS
CELEBRATION
Safe, Sane, and Somewhat Sat-
urated.. Parade Of Floats
Was Very Attractive.
MANY EVENTS CALLED OFF

1t was not enough for the 4th this
year to be preceded by a season of
heavy rains but the day itself was
marked by series Of downpours
which intcrftred with all Of the
features arranged for the local cele-
bratiou. The Band alone was able
TO maintain its programs, and gave
splendid concerts from its pavilion
while the crowds of listeners were
sheltered in the court house or be-
meath the awnings along the streets.
The morning parade was finally
put on between showers in the after
noon, and was fully up to past
standards in beauty and good taste,
Misses Virgic Walters and Efie
Davis carried of the blue ribbon and
Mrs. Chas. Czech was awarded the
red ribbon, denoting second place.
Others who entered vehicles in the
parade were Mrs. James Shinn, Miss
Gcrtc Carlton, Miss Grace Routh,
Misses Margie Redus and Ruth
Lewis, Miss Jane Greene, Mrs Geo.
W, O'Ncal, Mrs, Fred Greene and
Miss Dorothy Watson. All Of the
vehicles were deliberately decorated
and the Judges had a difficult time
selecting the winners. The Judges
were Mr., Durnil of Monett, Mo-,
