The average business man is too
busy and gets very careless in regard
to his duty to lis family. 1t seems
to us if he loved his family as mNi
as himself it would Lot be so hard to
remember what he owes them. What
wife is there that knows wat neglect
means but would rather by far have
palmer clothes, palmer foods, palmer
furniture and more love from her hus.
band, love that means kindness at al,
times, remembering that the sweetesr
moments of Woman's life is when
a husband is kind and Thoughtful for
her comfort? A man that loves his
wife does not have to be reminded o.
little acts of kindness he can give ST

love his wife he ought to be as thought

In laying your plans for the i'm

save steps, to save time, to save money
and to save that which is Of vastly
more importance, is easy to lose, yet
hard to find when once it is lost, viz:
& ealth, perfect, robust health. 1t is
something worth striving for and
though never appreciated as it should
be until it is gone past all hope of re-

is the convenience of life that saves it,
the inconvenience of life that cause

There is sweet music in every Itome

Inventor as Boy, Successful as Man.
umter, July 19.-One day nearly a
half century ago readers of the Scien-
tifc American were much interested in
a story appearing in that paper Of a
14-year-old boy who had been awarded
a prize for inventing a model steam
engine. The boy lived in Sumter and
his name was Charles T. Mason. To-
day comes the announcement that this
same body, now grown to be a man
so years of age, whose inventive mind
has apparently not dimmed one whit
as the years have rolled by, has been
suggested for appointment on the ma
tional defense board. 1t is a fitting
tribute to t6is inventive genius that
such an honor should be conferred
upon him, especially since he has
never sought publicity and even in his
home town there are comparatively
few VITO really know his greatness.
His reputation is really worldwide.
Some time ago Mr.. Mason received an
invitation from the emperor Of Japan
to visit Tokyo and discuss with the
ruler the general subject Of inventions,

The condition of the crops in the southern portion of Arkansas are very favorable for the time of the year, and the prospects for bumper harvest are very good. Reports from the coun- ty demonstrators and leading planters of Southern Arkansas received here are to the effect that the crops are in C better condition than they have been in a number of years. It is also esti- mated that about five per cent more land was cultivated this year than last
 The different county demonstrators were successful during the early part of the spring in persuading the farm CTS to diversity their crops as much as possible, and as a result the planters who followed the advice of the experts will have sufficient products to live on for another year. while the ones who planted the regular cotton crop will take chances on getting fair price. The statistics at the present time show that the cotton acreage was decreased nearly 20 per cent. More wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, corn and peanuts were planted to take the place of cotton.
 The peach crop is the heaviest that has ever been known in the state. It is estimated that the peach crop Of Pike County alone will be more than S4O0,000
 One of the latest industries in this section is canning factory, which has been located at Fruit Ridge in this (Dallas1 County. This factory culti- vated several hundred acres of land iii peaches, grapes and cabbage. It is now turning out daily 10000 cans of fruit, and is giving employment to many who are usually idle at this time Of the year.

 Each of these three national agen- cies has agreed to furnish an expert field worker to come here about No yember 1 and to remain until a thor ough survey of the state has been made
 The great danger from the spread of feeble-mindedness the appreciation of which has led to the organization Of the several national committees mentioned in the foregoing, and the fect that preventive work cannot be less than nationwide to be effective, has led these committees to actively support the work of the Arkansas commission.
 The salaries and expenses of the three experts will be borne entirely by the organizations lending them.

Politics and politicians received considerable attention at the meeting of the Arkansas Farmers Union held in Little Rock. In an address before the convention Charles s. Barrett, na- tional president of the Farmers Union, said:
 Give the lawmakers a chance and if they don't prove good, turn them out. Elect anybody else, even if he isn't any better. If he isn't, turn him out of office. It won't take many such experiences to get lot of things"
 ''The farmers are not trying to run politics in the country" he said, "at least not in the matter of electing in- dividuals. But they do want results. The union now has more than 5000, 900 members and they are rapidly waking up to the possibilities of con certed action. Before long they will be able to obtain at least some meas ures for the benefit of the farmer"
 Regarding the land question MT. Barrett said:
 No one can deny that our land is being more and mere farmed by ten ants" he said. That condition is needing our attention. I believe if the government had done more for the farmer the landowners would not have moved to the cities. The tenant is a man of unrest It is the land owner who is the substantial citizen. How the owners will ever get back on the land I do not know. I believe the tenant will come nearer buying the land. In this state that Is much more probable, but in the districts where land sells for from $100 to $500 per acre the tenant cannot own the land
 There is world of opportunity in investments in land in Arkansas and other Southern states. look to see land increase in value several hundred per cent here within the next 10 years. Now is the time for the ten ant to buy land"
