Some Compliment.

It is not often an editor hands him
self compliment.
4 But this is the exception, and that
is just what we are doing, because a
certain we'll known citizen of this
community has persistently recogniz-
ed the value of this paper as dissem-
inator of local news, and has paid US
this peer of all compliments in
manner which speaks volumes of the
good things of life.
He is not destitute of this worlds
goods, and he possesses the rare
faculty of holding onto that which he
gets, lest the pangs of poverty over
take him in his declining years.
He possesses a wide knowledge of
local affairs, because he is a constant
reader of this paper, and the knowl-
edge extracted therefrom is turned to
good account in his own behalf.
If an important event is soon to
occur he knows of it in advance, be-
cause he has read of it in this paper.
If there is a bargain to be had any
where in the community he is prompt
ly apprised of the fact, because that,
too, he has read of in this paper.
And if an acquaintance is sick, or
death has overtaken some member Of
family, or the stork has paid a visit
to the home of some friend, he is
among the first to extend his con-
dolences or congratulations because
of these, also, he has read in this
paper.
He is man Of wisdom-a pillar
of strength-with brain which alb
serbs to the utmost of the essence OF
life.
Few things escape his notice-he is
ever on the alert.
But the ONE THING which he
NEVER OVERLOOKS is THIS
PAPER, and therein lies the compli-
ment which we take unto ourselves
1t gives us feeling that we are
something more than mere human
worm, that we are even whole cog
in the community wheel.
True, he is NOT A SUBSCRIBER tt
the paper-his dollar never reaches
this office-but he READS THE
PAPER JUST THE SAME.
His neighbor is subscriber, ant
pays in advance, and in his generosity
he lends the paper to the "pillar o
strength"-by request.
But it may not always be so. Ii
time we have hopes that the "pillar'
will pay us the super-compliment o
permitting us to humbly add his owl
distinguished name to our subscription
list.
Time works wonders even in th'
newspaper field.
Yes, we have hopes-strong hopes

THEY LOST MANY CATTLE
 BUT STILL REFUSE TO DIP
A Few, But Very Few, Grant County Farmers Oppose Installation
 of vats. ...,

we have real live interest in Grant county in canning of vegetables and fruit for home use," said w. c. Vickry, county agricultural agent. "Six months ago there was scarcely 8 home canner to be found. We have one merchant here in Sheridan who has ordered and delivered to farmers about fourteen of these canners up to date. He is selling the Williams can ner. The people of Grant county are determined to have more to eat, and also more home raised feed for stock. believe from what l get from farmers over the county that there is 50 per cent increase in potatoes for home use, and I am sure that there will be sorghum enough for the home if nothing happens to the crop. While this is true and there is a slight reduction in the cotton acre. age. the crop is being worked better than usual, and we hope to make a thoroughly good yield from that crop. In his last report to the Extension OuvlSlOn or the university Of Arkan- sas, MT. Vickry said that the farmers of Grant county are fighting the fever Texas tick as they never did before. Several cattle, he says, died recently, and reports are coming in almost daily of deaths from cattle tick fever in various sections of the county, and that farmers are using the rumors to influence others to take hold of the movement through systematic or ganization. We organized recently farmers club at Erin, which, through its committee. has gone to work to locate place to build dip ping vat for their cattle. Some farm CTS who have lost stock from the Texas fever tick oppose the installa tion of the dipping vat

Just A Bit Cosby

T like the spirit and disposi tion shown by the clever bunch of Brinkley citizens who had a hand in helping save the corn of Elmo Clancy from the big overflow that is about to make it's way into the bottom farms 5 or 6 miles south and west of Brinkley. It makes me feel good and glad that Pm living among a big hearted, clever people of this kind. As I have said thousands upon thousands of times, 1 say again right here, Brinkley has some of the best and kindest people on earth. The only trouble with us is that we do not understand each other. We get so busy with things that are our own, think ing and planning for self. that it takes these little calamities and misfortunes of our neighbors and friends to bring us to think of others.

WAR ON PUBLIC MUIsANcEs
American Civic Association condemns Smoke, Poles and Wires, and BILL
 boards as Among Thom.

From its very institution, the Amer ican Civic association has devoted it. self to the protection of the public against three great smoke. poles and wires and billboards. At the annual convention of the association in Washington one of the important subjects discussed was bil1boards. with principal address. entitled "The Passing of the Signboard," by Jesse Lee Bennett of Baltimore. in which he recounted the steps that had been taken for the legal control of the bill- board in all parts of the United States.
 Concerning the sentiment against the billboard, MT. Bennett said "The feeling against the signboard has be- come nationwide, and in the last few years the agitation of civic organiza- tion has been so successful as to awaken resentment against 1t 90 widespread that from coast to coast, and in almost every state and city. there are now, or have been, vigorous movements seeking the abolition or regulation of these unnecessary and disfiguring objects.
 "There has been much agitation, and from 1t there has been distilled one thing-the recognition of the fact that what Is called the signboard problem Is question more complex than the mere removal of the signs. The signboard has been found to be in extricably intertwined with two ques- tions of even greater importance the awakening of civic sentiment and the recognition by legislators and judges of the validity of arguments based upon esthetic considerations"
 Commenting on what ought to be the attitude of the law and the courts toward the billboard he added:
 Tt would take our psychologist but a few minutes to show that it is not question of ear or nose or eye, butsa question of the brain and of the very consciousness that Is life itself. No law should permit any man to intrude or force himself or his business into another mans consciousness to tho extent that outdoor advertising has come to permit. an intrusion immedi- ately increased by the fact that 1t is impossible to avoid seeing sign boards"

 In the proper column the ARCUs carries the announcement of Hon. c. Otis Bogle as a can- didnte for Prosecuting Attorney of this the 17th Judicial District.
 Mr. Bogle is one of the most prominent and popular attorneys of Monroe county and his success in his profession has been most gratifying to even his most sanguine friends. He has been connected with much of the most important litigation in the ccurts of the county since coming here. His splendid record in the c1jminal practice where he has appeared in the prosecution If several of the most noted coses in the annalsof the county, has beenyuch as to bear evidence of his particular fitness for the plncs he offers for.

ItOS, mug. 4O, 1O1C-
 Editor ARGUS:
 was glad to see what ye editor had to say in last weeks s issues about neighboring co-op- creation and organization for Monroe county farmers. It was just along the line of former article wherein l called the at- tention to that such impotence, and suggested that someone in each community send to Wash ington. D. c. and get copy of the 1914 Year Book. In this book is an outline for such organization that will be easily followed. l believe that every community has someone that may take the lead and such one will be a bene- factor to his neighborhood. And this would be so much better than to have some outsider to come in and call the people to- gether.
 Anyone and everyone may see and know what are the causes of hard times and close money matters with the agriculturalist. They have so little to sell com- pared with what they have to buy. If the farmer man will raise hogs, cattle sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys and horses or mules that he may need for his own use. he will be rarely have go to town without something to sell, provided he raise sufficiency of feed for his stock and poultry. Then don't neglect the fruit and berries that will add so much to his pantry shelves. A few plants for a starter of the culti- vated black berry, the raspberry and the Himalaya berry will give great returns for the time and attention given them.
 There is not much of local in terest to report from our little berg. We are having a super abundance o f rain since the trough was broken. I suppose

NEW WAY TO WATER TREES
German City officlal seems to Have Hit Upon Method That Should
 Be Effective.

4-
 A very ingenious and practical de vice for assuring the trees on city sidewalks a sufficient supply of va ter, no matter how dry the season and how hard baked the earth, has been put in operation in Strassburg by MT. Sauer, the city tree inspector. It con sists of tube of iron or lead bent into the form of ring large enough to encircle the stem of the tree.
 The earth is removed so that this ring may be placed just above the roots, and Is then filled in again. leav- ing the end of pipe connecting with the ring projecting above the surface of the ground The top of the ring is pierced with a large number of small holes, and tin cover or shield prevents these from becoming stopped up with earth.
 By means of funnel in the pro truding end of the pipe any desired amount of water may be supplied to the roots without waste or loss of time. A further advantage, according to Prometheus, Is the ventilation thus secured of the earth in the vicinity of the roots.

Flower City of cermanv.

The marked industrial developments in Erfurt are of comparatively recent date, and in spite of the increasing importance of its manufacturing es- tablishments the city is still best known for the immense horticultural establishments found there. Erfurt is appropriately called the "Blumens stadt" or Flower City of Germany. Al most 3 per cent of the population is engaged in commercial hort1c1lture. While vegetables and flowers for Aale are grown on large scale. of mzsch vaster proportioAs is the bastnsss tR flower and vegetable seed. The larger Erfurt seed firms ship to almost all parts of the world, the United States importing larger quantities of Erfurt horticultural products than from any other city,in Europe.

Baltimore Sets Good Example.


 About year ago certain owners of real estate in Baltimore decided to create small parks fin the rear of ths&f houses by tearing down division fences, and laying out the lots on each side of the midway alley on dennite ly arranged and uniform scheme of landscape gardening. In many blocas the fences were replaced by continu ous flower garden. Hundreds of house owners have co-operated in this inter esting effort to beautify what were for merly bare and forbidding wastes. and tbe city forester has given them ev- cry assistance. Many other cities might well emulate this example. -- Youths Companion.

SELECT YOUR SEED
 COTTON THIS FALL
Be Sure to Secure Good Strain by Getting a Variety That Has Proved its Ability to Give Good Yields.

To succeed with crop, the grower must use the best methods of tillage and fertilization, and in order to ob tain maximum results from tillage and Fertilization, he must use i'm proved farm seed. By using improved cotton seed, selected from variety known to do well in a given locality the grower may increase his cotton yield per acre even though the acre age has been cut down.
 Secure Good Strain.
 No one variety of cotton is best for all soils and all climatic conditions. No single variety has maintained first place year after year at any ex- pertinent station. Select variety of cotton that will give high yield of lint per acre, will set fruit early and mature early, one that has a good length of fiber, one that has medium to large bolls, one that will hold the lint in the burr, and one that, provid- ed the cotton does not fall out, is easy to pick. Whatever variety is used, if no method of selection is followed, your cotton will become poorer each year. If a good strain of cotton is ob- tained, selection must be practiced in order to hold it up to maximum yields.
 Select Your Plants. The farmer should, during the growing season, watch his crop and pick out the vigorous plants here and there tagging them so that these plants may be easily located at the time of picking. When se- lecting plants, keep the following qualities in mind: High yield of lint per acre. early setting of fruit and early maturity, long fiber with view of better price per pound, medium to large bolls to facilitate picking, ability to hold cotton in the burr in spite of wind and rain, ease of pick ing and trueness to type.
 With sack and reliable picker, the grower should go into the field just ahead of the regular pickers and pick the cotton from the selected plants. Pick the cotton from the lower two-thirds of the plant, and pick enough to furnish seed sufficient for the next years crop.
 Avoid Admixture of Seed.
 When the selected cotton is gin ned, be sure that the gin rolls are thoroughly cleaned. Do not let the seed pass through the chute. but allow them to fall out onto the floor in front of the gin, by this means insur- ing no admixture of seed. It is inn possible to blow out all the seed from the chutes through which the gin-run seed pass.
 Lastly, store these seed in a dry place. Experiments show that seed are not injured when stored in small lots.-M. s. EAker, Assistant Agro- nomist, College of Agriculture and Experiment Station, Fayetteville.
