ARKANSAS

Arkansas surprises the world with the magnitude of its pos abilities. Not only has the state great variety of resources, but 1t has an ecnomical method of production and convenient mar kets ready to receive the output, whether from the farm, the forest or the factory. Arkansas pea ches, grown on $25 an acre land sell on par with Florida oranges, from $1,000 an acre orchards; a bushel'of Arkansas sweet potat- oes, which yield POO bushels an acre, retails at the price of bu- shel of Northern wheat, the av- craze production of which is p bushels on an acre of land worth $100; ant a section of Arkansas prairie will produce as much rice as an oriental archipelago. It is from our forests that the world for the next hundred years will get a large share of it's hardwood and pine lumber; it is Arkansas that now produces the bulk of the worlds supply of bauxite. the ore from which aluminium is made; it is from Arkansas that the gen. erations yet to come will be SUD- piled with coal and granite, and 1t is from the streams and sands of this resourceful state that the pearls and diamonds are brought forth to crown the overfioWing cornu cOpia.
 Nobody ever heard of famine. plague, a pane. a crop failure or revolt originating in Arkan- saS, The temperament of the peo- pie is as equabIe as the character of the climate. Tranquility and contentment characterizes the history of the state even as far back as the days of Indian dwell CTS of the land among whom there is no record of strife. Arkansas is probably the only state in the union that does not claim among its citizens a single millionaire, and it is a state where poor houses are unknown. This even distribution of wealth les sons the disparity between class es, brings all men into more

Every time we hear anyone ''raking" the postmaster we al- ways feel sorry that the public cannot come to realization of his thousand and one worries. And he's ''raked" more or less every day.

insinuate the postmaster or clerk is discourteous, even limiting that they think they have mail, or at least cannot understand why it isn't there for them. Nothing could be more ridiculous. Mail accumulates fast, and we feel sure the postmaster and employ es are glad to see it leave the postoffice as quickly as possible after receipt.

Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Stevens recently
received a copy of the Lompoc Jour
nal, Lompoc, Cal, containing an az.
count of surprise party rendered
Mrs. f. A. Mann by friends at Lompoc
and quoting an address delivered by
Judge Mann on that occasion. In or
der to entertain the large number at
tending, the party was held in the
Foresters' hall. 1t was supposed to
be strictly ladies affair, but two or
three men were admitted, including
the husband of the honoree and her
grandson, Paul Merkel. The affair
was a genuine surprise to Mrs. Mann
and evidently proved a great success
throughout. Mr.. and Mrs. Mann and
their grandson, Paul Merkel, are we'll
