MEAT PRICES VARY

And So DO prices. There is one thing
about the prices we put on the meat
we sell and that is they DO not vary
from the very lowest notch that will
give rs n reasonably fair profit. When
we can buy meat cheaper, we sell it
cheaper, Our margin of profit is the
same always. We do a cash business
and 10 not have to stick on prices TO
make UP for poor accounts. Brattle-

adjacent lowlands.
The Ouachita Mountain region is the
lowest of the three areas of the Ozarks.
1t lies south of the southern slope OF
the Boston Mountain plateau and in
cludes all that part of Arkansas bounded
by the plateau on the north, the White
River low1and on the east and the coastal
plain on the south.
That part of the Ouachita region lying
north of the Arkansas River is low the
lowland belts ranging from 800 to 500
foot and its plateau and ridges ranging
from 500 to 1000 feet In elevation. The
mountains consist of alternating narrow
east to west ridges separated from occa-
sional flat-topped plateaus by broad low
land belts. None of these plateaus reaches
the elevation of the Boston Mountain
Plateau.
Nearly one-half of the entire area is
too rough for profitable cultivation. but
much of that part Is available for the
great orchards of the Ozarks and live
stock farming.
The whole region lies so far in the in
terror that its climate is wholly conti-
mental. The mean annual temperature of
the northern boundary Is 54.S degrees.
The climate, therefore. is practically the
same as that of central western States
Temperature conditions are favorable to
agriculture and the growing season Is
long enough to mature all the ordinary
crops grown in the central part OF the
United States

The Ozark region is an elevated lime

The larger part of the main elevation

the west by line running from Boone
Vile, Mo-, to the northwest corner of
Jasper County and then southwest to the
vicinity of Fort Smith, Ark. The south
ern boundary follows the course of the
Arkansas River until the lowlands are
reached and then cuts across in an ir-
regular diagonal to the Mississippi River,
near Cape Girardeau. The eastern
boundary follows the Mississippi River
from Cape Grardeau to a point about
80 miles from st. Louis and then across
to the Missouri River.
The Ozarks contain three main sub
divisions or belts of country. each with
characteristic expressions. The divisions
are the Ozark dome, the Boston Noun
tain plateau and the Ouachita Mountains.
The Ozark dome is a region known as
the Ozark plateau, the Ozark Mountains
OF the Ozark hills.
The maximum elevation of the Ozark
dome is 1900 feet, the minimum 900 feet.
The crest line averages 1900 feet above
the sea level and the average elevation
of the whole region is 1850 feet.
The Boston Mountain plateau is higher
than the Ozark dome, its maximum ele-
walton being about 23OO feet above sea
level and the average for the whole area
about 1900 feet.
This plateau is an elongated block of
highland resting in southern north

Arkansas Rivers It's eastern end lies in

reached the roof in safety.

FRESNO DISTRICT DRIEST
Section in California Has Had Least
Rainfall.

According to the Weather Bureau re-
turns one of the driest spots in the
United States is the Fresno district of
California. They have had only "a per
cent of the normal rainfall since March
|. THE West coast generally has been
short of precipitation. Another dry dis
trict centres in st. Louis which has only
81 per cent. of normal rainfall. The
Ohio Valley has had from a half to two
thirds of the usual quota, and there are
some very dry spots in the Southwest
and the Southeast that have not yet been
cleared up. But generally the country is
fairly we'll supplied with moisture for the
late summer season. Streams are fairly
full and reservoirs are not low as a rule.
The distribution is uneven. however,
Fort Worth, Tex, has 194 per cent. of
normal, and Fort Smith. Ark. only 4s
per cent. Some portions of Kansas have
three weeks of 100 per cent. weather, prac-
tically arrestinG vegetable growth and

The COUNTRY SCHOOL.

Prof. Charles H. Utley, formerly
Of Wake county but now superin-
tendent of the graded school at Web
ster, in Jackson county, writes for
the Jackson County Journal an ar
ticle on The County School," which
deserves to be- widely read.
Every one who has given the sub
ject any thought has noticed that
the great men in the city are usually
those who come from the country
1t is also true that the rugged char
acters who go to the city and find
conditions there plastic under the
touch OF their personality generally
leave children who are by no means
OF the calibre of their father, indi-
eating that the city is not the place
to develop the sterner virtues.
50 for the sake of the ci. Y in 7hich
the country boy is to play such an
important part the country bow
needs good educational facilities
But Prof. Utley makes the plea for
better educational facilities for the
country boy, to the end that he NAV
do more for the country. He would
nave the educated country boy stay
at home instead OF rushing off To-
the city.
Prof. Utley finds in the efficient
country school the solution Of the
problem Of the drift to the CITY. He
we'll says that the efficiency OF the
country school in the future win
largely determine, the joy of living
III the country. This is recoenizjn5
an essential fact in connection w;fh
the problem of keeping country bows
IN the country. Living in the conn
try must be made more pleasant
than it has been heretofore.
Answering the question as to how
the country school will do what he
says 1t can do, Prof. Ut'ey says the
country school must teach the NAT
ives how to live and how to get q
hving. 1t IS we'll known that homes
III the country are not as attractive
as they might be and that the com
lorts OF LIE are not as plentifullv
provided In the rural districts as
as they are in the city.
The well equipped country school
will meet these needs from two d.
recuons. 1t will spread the refnin6
influences which tend to make for
happiness in the home and it will
produce the efficiency which trans
mutes itself into the the wealth
which makes the comforts OF life
possible. The future" saws Prof
Otley' holds out many fatterine
promises to the intelligent, progress
I've young people who are educated
along the lines of industrial science"
There is no doubt at all about tire
strategic part which the country
school will hold in the solution Of
the problem of supporting the TEEN
Ing millions of the land. Greater pro-
ductlon is clearly seen to be one Of
the crying needs of the day. The
