The BIaCkSmith'S Mss

II have brought your dinner, father,
The blacksmith's daughter said
AS she took from her arm a kettle
And lifted the shining lid,
"There is no pie or pudding,
But l will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore of his apron
And dined in happy mood.
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in the humble food:
While all around him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss.
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging
Merrily trudged away,
stopping at sight of asquirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
And | thought how many a shadow
! or life and care we should miss.
If only our frugal dinners
! Were seasoned with a kiss.

RETURNS FROM se CARS SHIPPED FROM ROGERS DIsAPPoiNT
 GROWERS.
PROFIT ON ONE CAR 6 CENTS
Declares 15,0oo Bushels of the Fruit Brought Net Results Of $6,ooo Against Profit of Three Times
 This Amount Last Year.
Rogers.

Returns from 8 carloads of peaches shipped by the Rogers Peach Growers Association have proved dis appointing to the growers. But little money was made on any fruit shipped, and some shipments will not pay for their expense of picking and harvest ing. The highest prices received for any of the 39 cars was but 60 cents per bushel for the best grade. Several cars of No. peaches brought on an average of 30 cents per bushel but 2S cars brought only 45 cents. There was little or no market for the No. 2 grade and the highest price reached for this class was 53 cents per bushel Most of the second grade peaches sold for around 30 cents per hushel, but one car usually brought 6 cents net. Growers favor letting the imperfect peaches rot in the fields next season, as it has proved improbable this yeat to try to market them.
 The average amount for the 39 car loads, both No. l and No. grades, was about 40 cents per bushel Esti- mating the 39 cars of peaches at 15,- 900 bushels the fruit brought net re turns of only about $6,000 against a amount for the same number of peaches harvested here three years ago

 Notices signed by H. s. Mobley, president, and J. H. Fry, secretary. Of the Arkansas Farmers Union, are to be sent members of the union, news papers in each county and to business men and bankers, asking for large attendance.
 MT Mobley, in a letter to Secretary Fry, expressed pleasure at the an- nouncement that the government will assist in financing the cotton crop and thus help the grower to make profi.
 Whether the aid will, reach the grower remains to be seen,' MT Mob ley said, but it recognizes a princI- pie for which all American farm or ganizations have always contended, without success until now. It recog- nizes that staple farm products, prop erly insured and housed are to be ac- cepted by the government as a basis or security for loans of government funds. Therefore no matter what at tlIude the banks or business world may assume in the future. we have won this principle, and it is up to the farmers to make it applicable to them"
