AT RE.SsT

Little Marguerite Fran c Q s Ferguson, age 9 months and F days, was buried at the Glen wood cemetery Wednesday after noon. She was born in Fl Monte, Calf. Her parents brought her here in March and she was soon stricken with pneumonia, from which she never fully recovered.
 Everything was done that could be done, but to no avail, Tuesday the end came. Those who were there will not soon forget the scene. Her precious little body was placed in the little white casket, and she look ed much like she would in her cradle asleep.
 We cannot understand it. but we will not complain. The sor- rowing loved ones know where to find her, and we know that she is in the hands and under the care of Him who doeth all things well, and that some time, some where they will have their baby back again. May God bless the bereaved ones while they wait.

realize that this paper is not be- ing published just for the glory of the editor.
 It is public institution, it is an important part of the com munity itself, it is about the only industry with which the com munity could not dispense with out intellectual stagnation, for when people cease to read of home affairs their intelligence pays the penalty.
 This paper is for progress, for commercial advancement, for community pride, for the deveI- opment and encouragement of every legitimate interest that will be of value to our people.
 We are laboring to that end, and we want you to labor with us.
 And that our labors may cov- eP a greater field and bear bet ter fruit, we want every family in the community to read the paper, to know what others are doing, to lend 8 helping hand in making of this one of the most thriving and prosperous sections of the state.
 Get rid of the idea that when you hand us a dollar you are helping the editor along. ,
 You are helping the editor, yes; but you are helping your self more than you are him, for you are getting more than value for your money
 You are supporting a business enterprise that labors diligently day by day for the social, intel lsctual and commercial advance ment of yourself and every other citizen of the community.
 And no other business enter pfise can speak louder or more to the point.
 Ask your neighbor tosubscfibe they will ike the paper.

Ye pnsaved souls who long for joys, So precious and so pure, There are no joys earth can afford Like Heavens that shall endure. You've seen the fruits of those you
 know,
 And feel convinced is good Oh, heed the spirit of the Lord, Come, humble as you should. found in Christ the living way, The joys that fills my soul, In which I'm walking day by day, It makes and keeps me whole. The virture of Gods truth divine Reveals the living way, Where joys celestial and sublime Shall be through endless day.

FOR PLEASURE WHY NOT FOR
 BUSINESS?

Do the dictates of pleasure weld a greater influence over man than the requirements of business? It would seems so if we may judge by the condition o1 our country roads.
 The automobile people of this country are fully alive, Wide-a- wake and up-to-the-minute in aggressiyeness, and as a result We see trunk line auto roads spflnging up all over the country. but these roads have been con- StfQcted primarily for the purpose ol adding to mans pleasures in 'ns life, and they furnish an eloquent practical demonstration or what can be accomplished when men have the will to do.
 II the people can construct great car highways for pleasure, "uy can not we of this com munity improve our country roads for both business and pieasure? Muddy, sticky an d neayy roads are not conducive to travel, and wherever you see them you see a farming com munlty that is not making the most Of it's opportunities.
 Why can we not use as much energy and ingenuity for busi- ness purposes on the highways ol thls community as the auto inoolle a people employ elsewhere iof pleasure alone? If we first make 8 success of our commercial pursuits the pleasure will follow sl a natural consequence.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
 GRAND SUCCESS
e,c CROWD PRESENT AND SJMP- yUoUs DINNER SERVED.
 LECTURES FINE

First meeting of the Farmers Institute for Carroll county was held here Monday of this week. The business men of Green For est advertised the meeting and furnished lemonade and coffee for all present. The meeting was held under the supervision of Ben F. Greer, county farm demon strator. By 10 o'clock a fair crowd had gathered in the park. The band rendered several pieces of music, after which Hon. A. L. Kinney made the welcome ad- dress, followed by Ben F. Greer, who made a splendid talk to the farmers and explained what the meeting was for and what they hoped to accomplish. During this time the good ladies of the city and country were arranging the eats on a table which reached clear across the park and at the conclusion of Professor Greer's speech, dinner was announced and farmers and citizens congre- gated around the tables which were filled with the best Arkan- sas could produce. After return of thanks by Rev. Moore, the de- struction of the eats began and by one o'clock everybody was ready to return to the speaking, which was done by Dr. Morgan and Dr. Mason, of the depart ment of agriculture, and profess or Fitzpatrick, of Fayetteville, these being followed by local speakers, W. II. PhllllpS, John Stafford, J. A. Buell., J. A, Stan dlee and A. J. Cox. A good aud lance was given all speakers. Miss Arthur held her meeting in the Masonic hall, 172 ladies at tending. All present at her meeting were we'll pleased, and enjoyed the demonstrations. The meeting was well attended by both citizens and farmers and a good interest was manifested and was the best meeting of the kind ever held in the county. Meetings are being held at Oak Grove, Berryville and Eureka Springs this week.

TNG PAPER AND YME COMMUM-
 ATY

Every loyal citizen of a con munity should take his home paper.
 The local newspaper is one of the greatest assets of any sec ton of country and should be supported and encouraged as such, not with a feeling of char ity toward the editor, as is too often the case, but in the firm conviction that in supporting the paper you are contributing to the uplift of the community and the consequent enhancing of the value of your own holdings.
 Without yoaI nome papef.5] .]'st c--el 4 town would lose much of it's at tractiveness as 8 place of abode, would become Q barren spot in the field of knowledge.
 The community would be grop- ing around in the intellectual darkness of uncertainty and speculation, while other cities and towns would be climbing up- ward and Q n war q to better things.
 The dissemination of news would return to the ancient method of mouth to mouth, with it's consequent delays, and dis tortions, and omissions.
 The business interests would suffer from lack of a medium of communication between buyer and seller, commercial rivalry would be on the wane, and the American spirit of T Will' would sink into disuse and event. ual obliteration.
 How many years have you been reading this paper, any way?
 And don't you feel deep down in your heart that it has been worth more to you than it has cost you?
 How would you like to be de- prived of the opportunity of ever seeing another issue of it?
 In other words, us t how would you like to live in this community if there were no paper published herey nomedium from which you could ascertain the doings of the community, no medium of exchange in the mat ter of barter and sale, no me- dium through which you could make your wants known to the people except by climbing into a buggy and spending days in driving from one place to an- other?
 Just how would you like that?
 The pill would be somewhat bitter, wouldn't 1t? We'll, don't worry, you are in no danger of losing your home paper.
 This article was written mere ly for the purpose of causing you to do little thinking along the right line.
 We want you, all of you, to

KANSAS CITY
 MARKET REPORT HOG PRICES DOWN OWING TO ENGLAND'S INTERFERENCE
 WgTH SHIPMENTS

Kansas City Stock yards, July 19. A quarter to fifty cents was taken off cattle values last week, due to the advent of 8 large delegation of grass cattle at western markets. Prime fed cattle suffered somewhat in the general slump.
 Receipts here today are $500 head, of which 1,600 head are yarded in the southern division, and the drop in the supply from last Monday, when 13,000 head arrived, re suit e q in an active market and considerable recovery in value. Prime steers including numerous lots from Clinton county, Missouri, the great corn and blue grass section, brought S9.85 to $10.10, on a parity week ago. A drove of 100 head of yearling from the same section, of which 82 were hei [ CTS, brought $9.85, $50 pounds average Greenwood d county, Kansas, steers elimed back up to $9.G0 today, about as good as best time last week. Texas steers in the native division brought $730 for which $7 would have been the price last Thurs day. The rank and file of cattle moved at slightly better prices than the middle of last week. South Texas grass steers sold in the quarantine division 96.40 to SIPS, and Oklahoma grassers signing 9es=@sNsA q,e,-sa, 2ae 2a were considered higher than they would have sold last Thursday. Ten loads of R. E. GateWood s steers, around 1900 pounds, from north Texas, brought $8. 20 in the quarantine division. Stocker8 and feeders sold slight Iy better, but without any special dash.
 In the hog yards the supply was 5000 head, market steady to five lower for an hour or two, during which time order buyers made their purchases up to $7. 70, including choice heavies at $7. 55. Packers bid 10 to 15 lower prices, paying $7.35 to $7. .50 for most of their hogs, around $7.30 for heavy weights. Provisions S prices have sharply declined re- gently because of EngIand's in terf@ence with shipments to neutral countries, and recent weakness in hog prices is traced to that cause. Prophecy is made that hog prices will continue to decline till England abides by the rule of international laws >and ceases to interfere with shipments of food produc [ s which laws the State Depart ment at Washington is demand ing shall be enforced.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are 5000 head. Lambs dropped close to $1. 50 in value last week, but sales today were still lower, top $z.6 paid for several strings of Arizona spring lambs. Sheep prices are holding up well, some Arizona ewes today at $6.6O, no pounds average. Aged sheep prices are considerably above Chicago because of scarcity here. Demand for breeding sheep and feeding lambs is developing, ana promises to be very heavy. Re gently there has been practically nothing in either line ordered, a few feeding lambs today at SIPS

doubtedly gives much JOY to Profcs-

some old fogies who mourn the de

+ BIG BROTHER MOVEMENT
Work for Delinquent Boys Spreads
All Over L. =. and Canada

The Big Brother movement has
now spread to ninety cities in
the United States and Canada. This
movement started in New York. Its
founder was +. *. Coulter. then i'm
the court, but now head of the So
clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. 1t has been in large part
the promoter of the children's court
plan, so general now in many cities.
In most cities Big Brothers come from
the ranks of lawyers, bankers, brok-
ers and foremost business men, often
from the ranks of the busiest men of
the city. Numbers of such Big
BROTHERS range from fifty to seven
hundred in a city, and in the whole
country there are not fewer than
twenty-five thousand men who are
regularly hoping boys.
The work, spread i'm some cities to
Big Sisters also, is to look after down
and-out boys, to get them employ
ment, to provide them homes and as
far as possible, education; and when
in trouble from the law or otherwise.
to insure proper treatment, and as
soon as may be. to put them on their
feet. At least forty thousand boys
in the country are helped each year.
The work started among professionals,
but is now extending to Roman Cath
olics. Some time ago it was taken
up by the Jews. Co-operation in
most cities is had with y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasiums in churches and fresh
air and other funds. Like the Ber-
nardo Homes of London, the Big
Brothers are multiplying the number
Of prosperous men throughout the
country who began, many hardly
know where.

the small economies. And practically
All CytrayagancCs and economies are
indicative of the personalities Of the
people who practice them.
The woman who Is cXtrayagant in
the matter Of clothes will sometimes
stint herself about going TO good con-
CCrts or plays or about entertaining
her friends, because of the expense
involved without tangible results This
woman may look pityingly at the out
of-date clothes worn by some ac-
quaintance who checrfmly passes up
a new suit or hat i'm order to take ad-
vantage of a season Of grand opera or
to entertain her friends at a series Of
dinners And the woman who ccOnO-
mizes on clothes may pity the woman
who stays away from good things be-
cause the tickets cost money and who
refrains from the enjoyment of en-
tcrtainiug friends in her home 1t is
natural that the two women should
see their CXtrayaganccs and CCono-
mics i'm different lights, because,
through them each woman is placing
the emphasis on the things which
count most TO her.
one woman will sacrifice a vaca-
ton trip to use the money fer a new
rug or a set Of dlning-room furniture.
another will shift the old rug or put
shellac on the old furniture and take
herself and children off for a good
time at the seashore. And their
economies and eXtravagances are jus
titled in the minds of each, the one
feeling compensation for the loss OF
her vacation when she looks at new
rugs or piece of furniture. and the
other woman feeling compensated for
the lack Of a new rug or piece Of
furniture when she recalls the de-
lights Of the trip and recounts the
benefits 1t brought.
EXtravaganCes and economies OF
energy are quite as important to
women as those involving only an
outlay of money. A woman who
scorns to waste her time in what she
considers useless task Of embroid-
ering initials on her household linen
will cheerfully spend an equal part
~ her energy in the unnecessarily
frequent busting and sweeping OF her
home. Another woman will refuse
to walk three blocks If a car can be
had, but will walk around three sides
OF large store to find an article on
the purchase of which she can save
a penny Another woman who
wouldn't think Of paying carfare for
distance Of only few blocks will
often pay double price for down.
