FARMERS MEET
 NEAR WINTHROP
Farmers Union Have Meeting at Jones SchGOl House; Will Take Steps
 To Eradicate tkd Tick,

In Crder to work uC interest anon : t..e Citizens of Jones School District No. 19, near Winthrop, for the pur- pose of building a concrete cattle dip has been arranged for November 20. A corpse of speakers are coming down from the Fayetteville station, and the College of Agriculture to lecture on the best methods of improving the live stock industry for this section of Ar kansas.
 One of the principal topics of dis cussion will be the Eradication of the Texas Fever Ticks that are infesting the cloven hoofed animals of this state so fiercely at this particular time. Some of the best men that the stare has on this type of livestock work arc being invited to talk to these people, and spend the entire day on this occas- ion. The writer met with the local Farmers Union last week. These men decided upon a committee, who will commence at once to perfect com plete arrangements for the day. A special dinner will be brought out by the ladies of this splendid neighbor- hood on this occasion, the third Satur- day in November. A cordial, invita- iCo daI tD hot r,31 come and assist in making this ~ srlerdid affair.
 The writer is informed that the cat tie of this section, like many other regions not having the public dipping vat, are in need of immediate atten- ton. It is by such cooperative efforts in communities that will finally lead to the checking of the loathsome fever ticks that are found so commonly on cattle at this season of the year. Tn view of this fact the good people of Jones neighborhood are going after this phase of the improvement of their cattle. However, they want to know just about what the dipping vat will do for their stock before they install such tank in their neighborhood. Some inquiries are being made into the results gained by counties north of the quarantined area of this state If there are many good features to the dipping of cattle, these men want to know them. On the other hand if there are any dark pages on the his tory of the cattle dipped by the use oi the dipping vats used in this state these people want them revealed also. Iii other words the whole outlay of this phase of the livestock improve ment work will be discussed at these meetings. The writer is informed tha a thousand people are needed up il,crc on that c;,;e to take care of the many good things that will be found to feast upon al dinner time on Saturday, Nov. 20. Let every person that feels an interest in he betterment of the Agri- cultural conditions of this county be present at that place and date.-H. J. Tyson. County Agent.

CORN CLUB WINNERS
Winners Have Been Announced to the
 Public; Three Prizes.

The Boys Corn Club Contest of Lit te River County, was commented upon by MT. H. K. Sanders, the State agent for Pig Club work for Arkansas He said that we had some as good corn If not better, than anything he had judged during the year 1915. Coming as 1t did from man who makes the entire state as this gentleman does, it occurs to the writer that Little River county can, and is producing some very fine specimens of ear corn. There were other farm products that need mentioning in connection with the corn. The excellent display of egg plants, sweet and Irish potatoes. to- matoes, peppers, asparagus, pump kins, and home grown lemons. among Other nice things were enough to make the closest observer sit up and take notice.
 The winners of the prizes in the corn contest were given their premi- ums on the basis of the first, seconi and third best ten ears exhibits The -dea of giving the premiums in this manner, is to train the Roys of the Corn Clubs, the lessons of careful se- lection and breeding of corn in order to obtain the highest prolif1cacy and yields. There are many good points to look for in selecting the ears with which the corn grower must need to keep in mind if the best returns from the crop are realized After going over each exhibit of corn carefully. several times, the judge decided that the following named boys of the clubs. had won prizes:
 Wesley Quarles, first prize, section harrow.
 Odell Chewning, second prize, $7.50.
 Albert Hinton, third prize, $500
 All of the remaining boys of the clubs, who exhibited corn, received $2 in cash and a gold emblem pin. This pin was given as a remembrance of the club work for the year, and to in dicate who were the growers of corn under the demonstration methods It has become custom, in all sections of the state to give these pins to all boys who make an effort to carry out the work for the year, and also to put his exhibit of corn On display at the county contest. Many of the boys ar. willing to remain in the clubs another year, and put forth a stronger effort to surpass anything that has yet been done along the lines of corn growing in Little River county.
 The winner of the first prize, this season is entitled to a free trip U Little Rock on the 22nd of this month, if the railroad companies furnish the transportation. In case the trip is secured the boy will have an opportu- nifty to accompany the county agent to the state agents meeting in Little Rock, which is held November 22 to 27 inclusive.-H J. Tyson County Agent.

JONES BROS. SHOWS
Will be in Ashdown Wednesday, NOv-
 ember 17th.

Away from the old time methods of presenting tented amusement enter prises is Jones Bros. trained wild animal circus. AS it's title denotes, wild animal features predominate, but do not by any means form all of the program high class European circus novelties, and high class horse, pony dog and monkey acts are interwoven into the program with such varied ef- facts, that the onlooker is taken from enc surprise to another with such wonderful rupidity tha- he hardy Enows what tC expect r2Xt, and it Is .n the arranging of the program so IS to take fi' antage of these surpr. s.s wherein lies the charn. of Jones Bros. performances.
 A noticeable feature of the show Is it's absolute freedom from anything suggestive that mars so many peror- mances; it's clean wholesome fun, the real comedy of the clowns, in bur lcsquing important topics of the day, and grotesque impersonations of peo- ple prominent in the lime light, lN real humor and greatly appreciated.
 The high standard of excellence maintained throughout the entire pro- gram, stamps it as an attraction in a class by itself. Unrivalled by any oth- CT amusement enterprise ever seen In this section of the country
