. The question Does it pay to have good roads" seems to be pretty we'll settled here. There is a pike road from San Diego via Los Angeles to San Francisco, a distance of about 610 miles or about as far as from Hot Springs, Ark. to Chicago, III. That partly accounts for the number of automobiles here, for I honestly believe there are more autos and motorcycles in this city than there are in the state of Arkansas.
 Living is cheap here as the cost o f restaurant meals are slightly one-half what they cost in any of the central cities.

failure. The same energy, care and attention that you would give to your store, bank or farm day by day will bring you success in the poultry business, for it is a business and a great BIG busi- ness as statistics show.
 It is a waste of time and money to raise mongrels. A small flock of pure bred fowls of any of the standard varieties will bring you more money and be a greater satisfaction to you. Keep your common chickens this year if you must but buy a few settings of pure bred eggs and hatch and raise you a fine flock for another year.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

THE resignation of two clever. clean and capable business men from the City Council this week was a mistake on the part of these gentlemen. Their nomi nation and election came from the people and if an emergency has arisen that justifies their resignation then there should have been a mass meeting of citizens and they should have told the people WHY.
 It will be remembered that it was publicly talked during re- cent elections that certain men represented the Thompson in- terests, etc. and certain others opposed those interests.
 The people have a right to know all, in regard to these matters. They should know just why and how it is that after more than three years of patient waiting that one mans interests are still greater than those of the entire people of Brinkley.

EGG-LAyING CONTEST
Valuable Information Obtained by Experts of University of
 Arkansas

Fayetteville, March l6. The Department of Animal Illus bandry of the University of Ark ansas this week issued a bulletin on production for January in the egg laying contest being conduct ed by that department. The re- suits show an advantage for the birds longest on the ground be- fore January ], and there are some indications that the heavier breeds possess greater resistance to cold weather, though this is not shown conclusively.
 Pen No. 2, containing 12 Buff Orpingtons, leads with 216 eggs during the month, an average of three eggs for every five days for each hen. Pen No. 5. con- tainiDg 12 White Orphingtons, came second, with l55 eggs, or a little better than two eggs in five days for each hen. The lowest score was made by six Barred Rocks. in Pen No. 20. Only one egg was obtained from this pen during the entire month. It is thought that this low record was due to the fact that the hens are very young.
 POULTRY POINTERS
 Nobody ever heard of an over production of eggs and poultry l in this country, but everyone knows that, notwithstanding wars, drouths, money panics and short crops there is, and has always been, steady demand and good market for all the poultry and eggs we can pro- duce. No section of the country | is better adapted to poultry raising than the south. and no state in the south offering finer opportunities a n d greater re- turns than Arkansas.
 The people of the south will always eat meat. The beef supply is getting shorter and the price getting higher every year. and poultry products is our only
 remedy for this. Poultry can
 be raised much cheaper than cattle or hogs and is better meat. I Another item in favor of poultry lis the small amount of land re- ouired and the difference in the
 capital invested. and the women can engage in this business as well as the men.
 H A lazy man or woman has no business in the poultry game, i for it means work and constant llattentiQn if success is attained.

Former Wheatley M a n Writes Interesting Letter From
 California

San Diego, Cal, March, Z, 1915 Mir. Wm. B. Folsom,
 Brinkley, Ark.
 Dear Mir. Folsom:
 We arrived here last Thurs day, had a fine trip. Stopped over at Little Rock. Oklahoma City. El Paso and Los Angeles, that way we did most of our travel ing during daylight. During our stop at Ell Paso, we crossed the border and spent several hours at Juarez, Mexico, very inter- esting city of about $500 popu- lation with numerous ruins caused by the war.
 After passing Yuma. Ariz. and nearing Los Angeles, Cal. it seemed very warm to us and we began to think our winter clothes would be entirely out of place on the coast. And at Los Angeles, Cal. l think they would be rather warm but here where we have the ocean breeze it is not so warm.
 San Diego is about 13O miles south of Los Angeles but be- cause it is mostly higher and about 20 miles nearer the-coast it is cooler, it sometimes freezes just a little here. Most of the oranges are grown around Los Angeles as it is warmer there. The orange trees are loaded with fruit now, they bear from Dec. to Nov. It was quite contrast to pass over the snow covered plains of the Pan Handle into. the ever green orange groves of sunny CallIOfnla.
 The Fair here. as well as it has not had the patronage due it on account of the general dull ness in travel as we'll as busi- ness, is now pretty we'll attend ed and will doubtless soon be better on account of the reduced rates trom the Eastern States. The Fair buildings are all per manently constructed. as the city will take them over for future use after the Fair. This being an Agricultural Exposi- ton and the first and only one of it's kind ever held. it will doubtless attract the attention of most of the visitors of the Panama Exposition at San Fran cisco.
 San Diego has about 100, 1000 population. about 2,00O acres of natural parks and the finest climate in the world. Old resi- dents tell me the hottest weather they have had here in 20 years was in 1911 when it was 96
 
 degrees in the sun. \
 Today we saw two of the U. s. battleships in the harbor. We saw one Sub- Marine last Friday. There is an Aeroplane Demon stration Field here and we can see the bird men every day.
 Last Saturday we took an auto ride across the border to Tia Juana. Mexico. IS miles south of San Diego, quite an interesting little place.

 We had an unusually good day last Sunday. There were 84 present in Sunday School. and of these " were on time (present when the first song was started) and 80 made a contribution. Pretty good record we think. Three teachers and several of the pupils were absent on ac- count of sickness. We hope they can all be back by next Sunday. Our school is planning to ob- serve MISSIONARY DAY on the last Sunday of this month, March 18th. Special program has been arranged. and the of- fering on that day will go to the Home and Foreign Mission work of the Southern Baptist Convention.
 The attendance at the morning and at the evening preaching services was better than it has been for some time. and the spirit manifested by those present was the best we have seen for quite a while.
 The B. Y. P. U. was also well attended, and the program was well rendered by the members of the group in charge.
 We shall be glad to welcome you next Sunday.

Just About Town

Just how it is that some people can afford to go to the theater two or three times a week when they stand off their merchant for the groceries they eat, is something I can't under stand" said a merchant to the ARGUS man Saturday night. Now this is too hard for me and l didn't offer to answer, but Pm guessing that that merchant is going to cut out some credit buy ing in his store by those who spend their spare dimes for amusement without first pay ing their merchant.
 Coming in town today 1 saw a team of horses that had fallen down in the mud while their owner was trying to force them thru the miserable holes and ruts on the Military road north of town, near Henry Cobbs. How in the world any man with a human heart could oppose the voting of a road tax that would furnish roads to do away with the need of such inhuman treat ment of beasts?"
 Eggs are eggs" "-yes that is true, but some eggs have brought more money on the market here in Brinkley this week than others.
 Two settings (30 eggs) of pure bred eggs were sold right here in town for $4.00 cash. This man could have bought twenty dozen GAO eggs) of the common market eggs with that $400. Every time one of these fine hens cackle it is worth 16 2-3 cts. and it takes a dozen common hens to cackle as loud as one of these fine pure bloods.
