With deep regret we learn of the death
of Mrs. Mabel A, Cahall Rea, of Phila-
delphia, daughter of Mrs. Lucy Cahall.
Nettie, as she was Familiarity known, was
an obedient daughter, faithful wife and
loving mother. AS pupil of the writer
over twenty years ago she was model
in every respect, and was an expert at
map-drawing, which at that time was
quite fad. A tender friendship sprang
up between teacher and pupil which has
always lasted and ripened into love.
Through all these years 'Nettie" has
always shown the greatest devotion by
beautiful remembrances on festal occa-
sions, to the one who formerly instructed
her. Husband, two bright little sons,
mother, sisters and brothers have our
deepest sympathy. Our loss is Heavens
eternal gain.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFlELD

The question of marketing is OF the
highest Importance to the person own
ing small tract of land. and in fact
no farmer can afford to ignore it. The
small farmer has to treat the subject
as vital and give it constant attention.
If located near a town it is feasible
for farmer to have private customers
for much of his produce. The large
hotels and restaurants buy immense
stocks of choice poultry and fine vege-
tables and fruits. Many private fami-
lies will buy direct from the farm If
they have opportunity to do so. and
they pay literally for high grade COM
mOdities.
If we could have more small farm
ers to correspond to the financial
means of land owners the immediate
effect would be intensive cultivation
and greater acreage production with
the widest possible diversity. Then an
improved market system would bring
a higher level of wholesale prices for
all products.
While these expectations are simple
and reasonable. they indicate a social
and economic revolution of national

Importance for it is entirely feasible
to reduce the retail price of nearly all
farm products and thus cut the cost Of
living without lessening the earnings
or profits of those who till the SOIL
The saving will come through the elm
inatiOn Of waste both on the farm and
In the city. which includes reform in
the middleman's method of marketing.
Every move that is made along this
line tends to protect city families from
a further advance in the price of food
In some lines Of trade the wasteful
expenditure involved in distributing
goods is a most serious factor in the
cost Of living. This is especially true
of the sale and distribution Of perish
able farm products. such as fruits. veg
etables. eggs and milk. The farmer
gets about One-third Of what the ulti-
mate consumer has to pay for such
goods. and the balance is swallowed up
in costs of distribution and in profits of
the series of middlemen through whose
hands farm produce goes in its journey
from the farm to the dinner table.
In many other cases, however. the
cost Of selling and distributing goods
is relatively very small, and what is
needed today is some general improve
ment in the system of handling those
articles Of every day consumption
which are now loaded down with un-
necessary costs and profits.
There are many good things that re
suit from cooperative selling and |
shipping associations. 1t helps the !
farmers to get next to the business. /
for their manager is willing to give |
them detailed reports of what has been
done 1t famiiarizes them with grades
of stock and the different prices that
are paid 1t acts also as a stimulus to
better fitting for the markets, as It
shows what conditions on the same
class of stock mean in the market
prices Farmers are able to tell by re-
ceipts when 1t is the hest time to Git
certain classes of stock for the market.
1t shows whether a 300 pound hog is
better for one season of the year than
another and whether the heavy beef
steer is suited for a certain season. We
have been told much about the differ
ence b. shippers. hut have always been
more or less skpptical In many cases
where competitive buying and ship
ping were going ON we had good reason
to doubt These assuciations also bring
the farmers together. and benefits Of
social nature are derived from them

TISSUES OF FALSEHoop.

Somewhere behind the gubernato- rial action on that Sawyer race bill there is mighty tissue of falsehood. The attorney general making answer 10 the suit as the representative of the governor. says Governor Hays never signed the bill Ito approve it. and that the governor had intended to veto the bill Saturday, and had his veto pre- pared on that date.
 Close friends of the governor, and men belevable in ordinary things, say the governor stated Saturday he would sign the bill Monday, and even begged time in delay, giving as a pre- text for the delay that matters in which he was interested were pending in the senate, and he wanted to get that cleaned up first"
 Other men. belieyable under ordi. nary conditions. say that even theI following Monday morning Hays ap. pointed them commissioners under the bill, even going so far as to des- ignate the terms each should servel as commissioner
 For weeks the attitude of the gov ernor towards the bill was either one of whipping up his legislation on d trado basis. or this 50 strongly ap- ~peared that it was taken to be such and men whose word is usually bond, say the governor made em- phatic statements as to his position
 There is a whole lot of falsityl somewhere. It may all be in one spot, and then again it may not. At least the trial of the issue next week inl the circuit court at Little Rock ought to write some very interesting chap. ters into the political history of Ar kansas.
