the ambition OF New Orleans is
worthy and well directed. The peo-
ME of this now intensely progressive

cedented prosperity will fall like a
mantle on New Orleans. They be-
Iieye with great singleness Of pur-
nose th.t the utilization Of the water
route to New Orleans, for goods des-
tined from valley points to west
coast or to export points, Will solve
a probIem for the shippers Of the val

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The home is the greatest contri'
button Of women to the world
and the hearthstone is her throne
Our social structure is built
around her, and social righteous,
ness is in her charge. Her beau.
tiful life lights the skies of hope
and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization
Her graces and her power are
the cumulative products OF gen
erations Of queenly conquest, and
her crown Of exalted womanhood
is jeweled with the wisdom Of
sanity mothers, She has been
a great factor in the glory Of our
country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred OF
her hallowed influence blighted
by the coarser duties of citizen
ship. American chivalry should
never permit her to bear the bur
dens Of defending and maintain
ing government, but should pre-.
serve her unsullied from the al
lied influences OF politic., and
protect her from the weighty re.
sponsibilities of the sordid affairs
OF life that will crush her ideals
and lower her standards. The
motherhood of the farm is Our
inspiration, she is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and a
guide to a higher life, but direct
ing the affairs Of government is
not within woman's sphere, and
political gossip would cause her
to neglect the home, forget to
mend Our clothes and burn the
biscuits.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

The farmer gets more out Oh
the fair than anyone else. Inc
fair to a city man is an entertain
ment; to a farmer it is education
Let us take a stroll through the
fair grounds and linser a mo-.
ment at a few of the points OF
greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department
and hold communion with the
worlds greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a con-
gress of the mental giants IN me-
chanical science OF all ages. They
are addressing you in tongues OF
iron and steel and in language
mute and powerful tell an elo-
quent story of the worlds prog
ress. The inventive geniuses are
the most valuable farm hands we
have and they perform an en-
during service to mankind. We
can all help others for a brlet
period while we live, but it takes
a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch
of progress that will illuminate
the pathway Of civilization for
future generations. The men who
gave us the sickle, the binder,
the cotton gin and hundreds OF
other valuable inventions wort;
in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as
time. Their bright intellects have
conquered death and they will live
and serve mankind on and on
forever, without money and
without price. They have shown
us how grand and noble it is to
work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and
efficiency, how to make one hour
do the work of two or more
have heightened our lives, multi
piled our opportunities and taken
toll off the back of humanity.
They are the most practical
men the world ever produced.
Their inventions have stood the
acid test Of utility and efficiency.
Like all useful men, they do not
seek publicity, yet millions Of
machines sing their praises from
every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in
mute applause Of their marvellous
achievements.

STOCK GROWING
A GREAT INDUSTRY
Arkansas Is One Of Best
Adapted States For Live
Stock Raising.

Arkansas is one of best adapted
states to live stock raising in the
United States. This statement is
predicated on several good and well
known facts
/. Arkansas is a state of cheap
lands, and land is the foundation
upon which the stock-raisers bust
ness is built.
2. Arkansas is a we'll watered
state, and has an abundance of liv-
ing springs, of running streams and
innumerable lakes, furnishing plenty
of pure drinking water, and in addi-
tion an abundant supply of well
water is available in all sections at
a nominal cost.
3. Arkansas h a an average
rainfall of 81 inches, well distribut.
ed throughout the growing season
insuring ample moisture for hay,
forage, grain crops and pasturage.
4. Arkansas has mean temper
ature of from 54 to So degrees, evil
dencins a long pasturage and grow
ing season, and insuring a mlldness
in winter that obviates the necessity
for expensive housing for stock that
is so often required for stock in the
stock-growing states of the North,
East and West.
5. Arkansas has no blizzards of
severity to do damage in winter no
oppressive hot and burning temper
ature or winds to cause loss or
damage in the summer.
6. Arkansas is a cotton raising
state, with sixty cotton oil mills,
producing annually over 100000
tons of cotton seed meal, the best
and cheapest basis for concentrate
ed feed or balanced ration known to
the United States.
Z Arkansas has an abundance
of cheap and good labor available
for stock-raising.
g. Arkansas had two modern
packings plants In driving distance
