HOME PRODUCTS SHOW
 AT LITTLE ROCK

With reference to the Home Pro ducts Show to be held at the Market Arcade, Little Rock, October 27-3O. Dean J. H. Miller, in charge of the Agricultural Extension work for the University of Arkansas, says:
 "Doubtless in this state, as in oth- CTS, people buy from the grocer with out any regard to the source of sup ply and in all probability the major ity of the women of your towns and cities of Arkansas buy more canned vegetables and canned fruits grown in New York than they do Arkansas grown stuff. Your Home Products Products Show, therefore, in connec- tion with the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, will do wonders to educate people to using Arkansas pro ducts"

WILSON TO BUY WEDDING RING
 TOMORROW-PERHAPS

Washington, Oct. 7.-President Will son is a Presbyterian and Mrs. Gait his bride-elect, is an Episcopalian, and no decision has been reached yet as to which service will be used at the wedding. Mrs. Galt is a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church here.
 The President has given Mrs. Gait no engagement ring. and one may be purchased on the trip to New York tomorrow.
 While the President is in New York he will stay with Colonel House, but Mrs. Galt, her mother and other mem- bers of the party, will stay at hotel Colonel House occupies an apartment which is not large enough to accom- modate the entire party.
 It was said no detailed arrangement had been made yet for the wedding The President has not yet chosen a best man. although Colonel House was considered his most likely choice. One of Mrs. Galts brothers probably will give her away.
 Because of the smallness of Mrs. Galt's home. the wedding party will be necessarily limited to small group. .WTOfwy afwyp ypa aara

yI4,'6o.94 IN .,,.,. FERTILIZER FUND

,..4o Rock Oct. S.-There IS a to- d of s14,56O.94 in the fertilizer fund nc 7. % o idle in the state treasury. No qnS qnsSonriation was made of it, and it 4 ot bo used even for the purpose of '. 'n,rirc out the provisions of the fer 's,sr 's,s law. unless authorized by a pro .i,mation of the Governor.
 n,tober closed the fiscal year for .,. s.Ip of fertilizer. The law, which s '.;lI remains unrepealed on the stat ,+s, % provides that manufacturers an,t atfx tag to each bag of ferti- r,sr sold. It also provides that the lcrjcultural Commissioner shall fur risb the tags on the receipt of the Gate Treasurer, showing that the foo has been paid But there are no funds available with which to purchase ,bo tags and therefore the Depart mont will be unable to furnish them.
 The question is. How will the manu- fsctnrers be able to sell their product without violating the law? The fer tTizer law gave a great stimulus to the industry and resulted in marked improvement in the grade of commer- rial fertilizers. Advantageous freight rates are also stimulating trade, and the farmers are learning the value of fertilizer in building up their soil. Fertilizer will be sold, and since the state is unable to fulfill it's part if the duties prescribed by law, it is not probable that there will be any inter ference with the sale of fertilizers.

WEST RIVER.

A wide, slow-moving stream which
connects Canton with the sea. OF Hong
konk, West Riveris famous. even in
China, for its floating population.
Upon the river between these two
cities there are 100000 people who
are born and live and die N their
5sampans. They not only own no land.
but they are not allowed to set foot
upon the land without permission
from the police, and even then for
only a few hours at a time. Upon their
clumsy, wooden craft they have little
vegetable gardens and pigs and
chickens share the thatch-roofed cab
In with the dirty. yellow children
How these people live is a mystery,
as, indeed, 1t is a mystery how much
OF the population Of overcrowded
China manages to live. These river
people carry a petty commerce be-
tween Canton and the sea, and they
are fishermen and 4scaTengers, and
above all. they are pirates. Sometimes
they band together and man q junk
which attacks and overpoWers other
junks, but generally they carry on
only small operations with their sam
pans. They have little or no regard
for human life, are constantly fight
ing among themselves and is no un-
usual sight to see q dead riverman
floating down to the sea.
These rivermen do small passen-
ger business with their sampans IN
carrying sailors and others ashore
from. ships anchored In the harbor,
but everyone who goes ashore in this
way is required by the police to reg
lister his own name and the number
OF the sampan which conveys him. If
he neglects this precaution, the
chances are good that he will be
robbed and thrown overheard, but II
he has duly registered he is quite
safe because the riyermen stnnd in
fear OF the police.
The rivermen have thus lived their
lives upon their sampans for many
generations. Their deeds as pirates
are the subj ects OF songs and legends
which have been hand ed down among
them for prob badly hundreds Of years.
They are literal " IL people Of the river
who have never any other home.
