LITTLE ROCK WILL
 HOLD STATE FAIR
Finding County Exhibit Failure, Deci. sion Reached to Have State
 Exhibition.

Little Rock, Nov. 5.--At a confer ence of Little Rock business men held at noon Friday, it was decided to hold a state fair in Little Rock next wear A committee of which H. r. Auten is chairman and Carl Raer secretary was appointed to make plans for the enterprises to be submitted to another meeting of business men to be held on some date to be called later.
 The other members of the commit tee are County Judge Joe Asher. May or Chas. E. Taylor, Chas. S. Stifft James B. Dickinson, Max Heiman. J. R. Alexander, B. P. Slaughter. Fred Hciskell. Elmer E. Clarke, w. l. Hemingway, Moorehead Wright, A. D Kahn, c. J. Griffith, Joe Lyon, H. M Bennett, Commissioner John H. Page and-C c. w. Watson.
 County Judge Joe Asher explained that four years experience has proven that the people will not adequately support an institution so purely loca; as county fair. It is too small tc attract outside attention, and has therefore proven unprofitable. A motion was made and prevailed un- aAlmously that the county fair be dropped and state fair be put on.

RoDGERS TELLS OF
 STATES PROSPERITY

George Rodgers, cashier of the Bank of Commerce at Little Rock. and considered virtually a resident of Pine Bluff, because of his close affiliation with this city. her people and. her commercial activities, spent yesterday here, and was busy all day telling his local friends how prosper ous the state is, as a result of the diversification campaign of the last year. INV
 Mir. Rodgers says the banks all over tine state have deposits now that are much greater than ever before, that money is plentiful that the farmers are settling their old debts, that the business houses on this account are able to do the same thing. that the manufacturer is getting ill his out standing money, and is able to put this money into extensions and en- Judgements.
 The money is being circulated. said Mir. Rodgers, every man is getting the use and benefit of it, and never before was the state in such excel lent financial condition. Mir Rodgers says diversifeation of crors and 'liv- ing at home" is responsible for the condition as it now exists, and says that the advanced campaign now be- ing conducted along these same lines will add immensely to the wealth of the state, in another year.

POLLS WILL OPEN
 MONDAY AT 8 A. M.; CLOSE AT 6:30 P. M.
Sheriff Williams Digs Up" Law Regulating Time for
 Voting in Arkansas.

In the Democratic primary Monday in Jefferson county the polls will open at s o'clock in the morning and dose at 6:30 o'clock in the evening. This is in accord with section 2S12 of Kirby's digest.
 Many men have entertained the be- lief that the polls should open at sunrise and close at sunset but Sher- If R. H. Williams had different view and caused search for the law he was confident existed. The section of Kirby's digest referred to snows that an act of the legislature of March 4, 1891, provided that the polls should open at s o'clock in the morn ing and remain open until 6:30 o'clock in the evening.
 Excerpts from the statute have been printed and will be sent by Sheriff Williams to the judges and clerks of every polling place in the county that they may be guided there by in Mondays primary.
 The sheriff vii ltoday send out tho ballot boxes, ballots and other para phernalia, including pamphlets con taining the names of all men in the county who have qualified to vote by , paying the poll tax for 1914 before July 1915. These lists, prepared by the sheriff's department, contain the street addresses of all voters residing in the city. This information has not heretofore appeared in the pamphlets.
 For the convenience of employees of the Cotton Belt shops, arrangements have been made to close one hour earlier than usual Monday. A great many of the shopmen expressed de- sire to vote in the primary and, in order that they might exercise the right of the elective franchise, Sher- if Williams requested the shop offl- cials to close one hour earlier than usual, and this was readily granted. By this arrangement. the employees will have time to "clean up,' ana then go to the polls in time to vote

Fitzpatrick, agronomisIt. we hays found one or mere men who are making the farm pay by the use of sidelines along with the regular farming operations. However, but few farmers consider chickens of much importance as a source Of cash.
 'H. M Campbell of Burfork, keeps from 13o 10 150 hens. The roosters are kept in the pens during January and February. After that he keeps ehe roesters away and produces in fertile eggs. He depends on hatch ing his chickens early in March. During the year he ships on an aver age a case ot eges each AeeE. These eggs que sotd to one. ot the good pi cdlce conosrhs of st. Louis.

proven the value of scientific meth ods. "The book farmer" is no longer looked upon with disfavor in Arkan- sas. but he is accepted as authority on questions of diversification marketing, soil values, and farm con serva,ion.

J. Bod man of Little Rock is the head, the business men of Memphis. and the agricultural extension department of the International Harvester company, with Dr. IF. c. Holden at the head Of the crops of experts-thsse are the agencies that are bringing Arkansas to the front as it has never known before. It was Professor Holden who. several years ago, made two ears of corn grow where only one grew be- fore in Iowa, making it one of the greatest corn states. And it is the methods he employed there that are to be employed in Arkansas by him. Dean Miller, and their many associ- ateS.
 Already the effects of these cam paigns are manifest in the increased acreage of money crops and other than cotton that are being raised in Arkansas. The increase for 1915 has been tremendous. For 1916 it will still be greater. Former Congress- T. c. MacRae, of Prescott, who is making a campaign of the state for govarnor. says that he has not wit messed such genuine prosperity in the state in many years. The farm- CTS are we'll provided for, and as rule are getting out of debt. They have been year behind for many years. but now they are catching up.
