collected the moujiks and told them

Good Advertising For
 Arkansas.

A com mittee of five. appointed by the Bureau of Farm Develop ment of Memphis Business Mems Club, visited Little Rock last Saturday to learn of the work done and results obtained in the Profitable Farming Cam paign in this state Members ot the com mittee said their bureau had heard so much of the Ark D sas campaign that the decision had been reached to get details first hand.
 In the movement for reducing the cotton acreage and planting feedstuff Arkansas led the South and many of the farm experts who were in the work in this state have held up Arkansas to the people of other states as an example worthy of emulation,
 So Arkansas is getting valu able advertising as well as more material benefit from this cam paign.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by his host at a dinner party to enter tain the guests by playing the lute, he replied that he could not play the fiddle, but that he could make a small town great city. We have in this nation many politicians who are good 'fiddlers,' but they cannot make a small town great city. We are over run with orators who can play upon the passions of the people, but they cant put brick and mortar together. We need builders.
 Let those who hunger and thirst for power understand that the highest glory of a statesman is to construct, and that it is better for a man that he should build a public highway than that he should become Governor Of state, and that he start a blow than that he become the author of law. The true test of statesmanshtp is the blow and the hammer. so let those who would govern, first build.

Big Rice Crop and Heavy
 Yield Predicted for 1915.

That the Arkansas acreage of rice this year will be about 100, GOO acres and the yield about 45.6 bushels per acre, is the es- timate of w c. Saunders of the Southern Rice Growers A soci. ation. Writing to John H. Page, Commissioner of mines, manu- lecturers and agriculture, from Stuttgart, >Mr Saunders says:
 Replying to your recent fay or we are glad to give you infor nation requested to the best of our ability; however, would ask that you compare oar statments with others you may receive.
 We are placing the Arkansas acreage of rice at 100, ,000.
 Estimated yield for Arkansas based on last years crop for rice, 45 6 bushels per acre This is oyer what Arkansas will average year in and year out by fully , bushels per acre-last year was exceptional.
 We would estimate the a. mount as invested in the rice business in Arkansas. including machinery. at five million dollars; in other words, it cost $50 an acre to fully equip raw land well, machinery, livestock. etc.
 There are six mills in Arkan. sas proper. and we count the Memphis. Tenn, ID il as Arkan sas territory. Each of the six mills will average 500 day of 12 hours.
 The average cost of product. ion of rice in Arkansas is S25 per acre, from blowing the ground to delivery at mill. They get from $40 to s60 per acre. Like in all other business some rice farmers epecoming immense ly rich and some are gong broke each year; It depends upon the man be ind the gun as to profit. Lt akage is pretty heavy where prosperity is not fully under stood and appreciated"

A Man of the Hour Needed.

Every comm unity has it's hour and many of them have the man for the hour,
 But how is it with us?
 The hour is here-the hour for injecting new life into business, for the creation of a bigger and better community.
 Some may cast their eyes around and ask where" or how"
 Your eyesight is dim brother your intellect is sleeping.
 The hour is here-has always been here-will always be here.
 It needs only the man with the vital spark of life to give it touch and go, constructive brain to take the initiative and force the links that binds us into a great and mighty chain.
 Some men can do this. while others connot
 We want the man who can.
 We have the land, we have the site. and now we want the real ities,
 But we must first have the man of the hour-the leader who will throw his grett interllect in to the scale a d bear it down with the weight of energy. of de- termlneation and power to create big things from small beginnings.
 We as a community are not lacking in brains, we are not de void of an inherent desire for i'm provement, and we are not with out the power or the will to force the issue if we but get the start.
 Every great municipality had it's humble origin, but it had it's man of the hour, it's MEN of the hour.
 Geographical or other condi- tons may prevent our aspiring to the dignity of a great metro potitan city. but it is easily with in the bounds of possibility for us to double, and treble, and quadruple our present size, wealth and importance.
 We need to expand, and we want to expand.
 It requires but the opportuni- ty, and opportunity even uow waits upon the man.
 Who will he be?
 Who will THEY be?
