NEWARK AS AN EXAMPLE

New merits of the diversified farming campaign in Arkansas develop nearly every day. Here is one discovered by a railroad man. c. o. Carpenter, assist ant commissioner of agriculture for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company, takes Newark as an example of diversified farming's worth from a traffic and income view point. MT. Carpenter finds that prior to 1915 Newark had shipped in an average of 50 cars of feedstuffs per year. This season no feed stuffs will be shipped in. Thus far this season 23 carloads of wheat have moved from Newark and two carloads are ready to ship. Thirty carloads of alfalfa have been shipped thus far and the total for the summer will be 50 carloads. Twenty-Five carloads of can goods are now in storage at Newark and 25 more will be canned during the fall. From 150 to 200 carloads of corn will be shipped from Newark in spite of the fact that farmers in the Newark territory have more stock to feed this year than ever be- fore. Early next, year farmers will begin to bank money from strawberries which will be shipped in carload lots.
 All of the business mentioned in the foregoing is new busi- ness. Arkansas Gazette, Aug ust 19, 1915.

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British statesman's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chalrman's Shaft
of "Wit."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here is one of the
2eatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing a meeting In
South Wales, according to Parsons
Weekly, when the chairman, thinking
to be witty at the chancellor's expense,
remarked to the audience that he was
little disappointed in Lloyd-George g
appearance.
81 had heard so much about Mr..
Lloyd-George," he said. that nat
urally expected to meet big man in
every sense; but, as you can see for
yourselves, he is very small in stat
ure."
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an uhfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not so Lloyd-George.
Il am grieved to find" he said, with
mock seriousness. that your chairman
Is disappointed in my size. but this is
owing to the way you have here OF
measuring a man. In North Wales we
measure man from his chin up. but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made no
more personal remarks.

PERIL FORESEEN BY BODINE

port Year Ago.

Chicago.-The following is an ex-
tract from the annual report of Will
liam l.. Bodine, superintendent of COM
pulsory education, as submitted to the
board of education last year:
Our investigation shows that the
average lake excursion boat is fire.
quently crowded to the rail on week
end trips and holidays. Personal safe

boats is a risk of life in which human
ity must depend upon fate as to wheth-

children will some day pay the tragic
penalty of overcrowded boats and lack
of adequate life-saving facilities.

sions of the vacation schools be aban-
doned. 1t is only a question of time
when there will be a disaster on one
of these excursion boats that will stag

ssES SURELY PREVENTED
Barnum's Frankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an
elephant engaged in blowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad. an agri-
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper in the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and if it were more profitable to
pillow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen.
His replies were invariably frank,
and were of this purport:
IF you have a large museum in
New York, and a great railway COM
pany sends trains full of passengers
within eyeshot of the performance, it
will pay, and pay well; but if you
have no such institution, then horses
or oxen will prove more economical"

No Insult Meant,

Shortly after a certain marquis
received an important governmental
position he was overwhelmed with
begging letters, the result of the re
markable statements sent out con
corning his unbounded generosity.
Among the letters he received was
one which became a standing joke
among his friends. 1t was from q
woman who wanted sewing machine,
and her letter commenced thus:
Dear SRA year ago you came to
our town to make a speech. went
out to hear you, and have been
Ill ever since"
The fact was the lady caught cold
on the occasion in question, but she
certainly did not refer to the matter
in very diplomatic language.

SHOULD NOT
HAVE MOVED
Story of a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained very inter
esting account of the experiences Of q
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up q home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount.
Ing his experiences of few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with a small amount of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
tour good horses, complete set of
farm machinery including two wagons
and a Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle. He continues, How
ever l was not satisfied. l had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and / thought 1t
would get cheaper so began to think
that homesteading as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
l did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
OF fact had sold pork for II cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and more, we had now
four mich cows, two heifers coming in
and more growing up We had a cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but could
not see all that; l had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
l set the price on the land at So 600
cash. l could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so came
down until finally sold for S1,4O0.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two.thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start
We now have a homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth Of honest debts.
True, we have a half section in
place of a quarter but that is no good
to us, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work 1t.
In summarizing 1t all up see where
made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as we we're before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplate
ing a change of location is to think
twice before you act, and II your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick 1t
clean "-Advertisement.
