An Essay.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING N ARKANSAS.
The following composition, written
by Miss Hazel Morris Of the Dermett
High School, tied with the composition
written by the Eudora contestant for
second prize At tbs ) +. a l.. \. a
meet April 10Th Only two hours were
allowed the contestants after the sub
jects were announced until the eompo
sitions had to be completed and handed
in. Ed
More thought has been given this
this year than eyer before to
diversified farming in Arkansas
This Is largely due to the Roniemand
for cotton elsewhere As we'll as in Ar
kansas Since Cotton Is KING IN Ar
kansas, one can readily sec how this
lack of demand Of it, leading product
would affect the whole state Natur
aiIv the farmers and planters would
first suffer. hut directly from their lack
of money. Others would feel the same
condition of affairs. After the farmers
are the merchants from whom all sup
plies for the year have been bought
and who depend ON the cotton crops for
their payment. But these same mer-
chants obtain the money for their
expenses from banks and investors.
who likewise await their payment until
after the cotton has been sold With
the banks having no money for circu-
lation a panic would ensue, which is
shared by all.
After one has studied the reason for
such condition. the cause seems to
be too much cotton. The question
then arises why does Arkansas raise
cotton alone when the soil and climate
are 80 adaptable to many other impor-
tant crops. 1t Is unanswerable to
many, unless the state has been plant
ing cotton so long that it does not
know what else to plant. Yet Arkan
sas at last seems to be awakening to
the numberless benefits which diversi-
fled farming will bring to themselves
and to their state.
Statistics show that millions of doll
ars are being sent to northern markets
every year for products which can be
grown in Arkansas. Why does not
Arkansas raise these, and thus increase
her export trade, keep her money for
the development of her own industries

RIDDLE REFUSES TO
ALLOW ADVERTISING
ON EAST COAST CARS
BOARD OF TRADES REQUEST
POLITELY BUT FLATLY DE-
CLINED BY GENERAL MANAGER
OF FLAGLER SYSTEM.

Secretary Benford Deacon is in re-
ceipt of communication from Morton
Riddle, general manager of the Flag
Ter system, declining the request Of
the board of trade to allow advertising
matter of the city of Daytona to be
distributed on trains passing through
Daytona. The objections of Mr. Rid
die are fully set forth in his letter,
which follows
Il acknowledge receipt of your let
ter of February 4th. with which you
enclosed copy of letter and sample
of postal cards which you are seeking
permission to distribute to passengers
on Pullman cars in trains passing
Daytona.
"You are doubtless aware of the
great annoyance to which the car
riers have been subjected in permit
ting solicitation of any nature on their
trains, and the serious difficulties in
which they have been involved by
permitting this. We have declined,
in many cases, to permit advertising
such as the Daytona board of trade
proposes, and | regret that must be
consistent and do so in this case.
aside from the objections above
noted, you can readily understand
that, on account of the limited time
that the trains stop at the station, 1t
would inevitably add to the congestion
and delay incident to the receiving
and discllarging of passengers, If
person were allowed to pass through
the Pullman cars to distribute this
advertising matter, as the aisles of
these cars are very narrow. Again,
there Is no doubt but that your solici-
tor would have to disembark from the
train many times while 1t was in mo.
tion, and this is further complicated
by the vestibuled doors on the Pull.
man cars.
I'VE are very much interested in
the development at Daytona, and
should be glad to aid you in this en-
terprise If 1t were practicable to so
do. ! hope your board will believe
that this Is no factious objection
which we raise, but real one, and
that it is with sincere regret that we
have to decline to permit the exercise
of this privilege
Yours very truly,
IN. RIDDLE,
General Manager"

at the Ridgewood hotel, and it in
.taDty proved popular with the en-

p. G. Rodgers, who has lately been
ore Of the most energetic boosters of
Burgoyne Day, was guest of the
hotel men, and during the evening
proposed another scheme, the nature
of which demanded careful investiga-
toD and consideration before definite
action could be taken.
The Rodgers proposition contem-
plated the making of a moving-picture
film Of Daytona scenes and, II pos
sble get them shown in picture
houses Of the north and east 1t was
pointed out and admitted that this
would be most effective form of ad-
vertsing for Daytona.

meeting, and when called upon for
his opinion estimated that it would
cost about $4OO to have a 1,000-foot
fin made, and perhaps as much or a
little more to get it satisfactorily
placed before the public. The matter
has been taken under advisement by
tie hotel men and the board of trade.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rodgers and Mr.. Ches-

A masterpiece of cinematography
has been achieved for Bunyan's Pill
grim's Progress, the book which has
had wider circulation than any
other except the Bible.
Alexander Salvini, considered the
worlds greatest actor, was secured to
impersonate Christian. A cast of
several hundred includes many of

day, November 29th, at 8:15 p. m.
The first reel is prologue, giving
the life of John Bunyan, whose
strange career of 26O years ago is
depicted in its leading incidents-his
early years of drunkenness and gamb-
ling, followed by the starvation of his
family and his own disgrace; then his
conversion, success in business, call
to preach;~ finally his persecution and
the cell, thus introducing the famous
dream of Christians Pilgrimage, an
allegory which has inspired millions

A new swindle was successfully
worked in Dickinson the past week.
An elderly man giving his name as

bank and left check Of $35 drawn
on the First National bank Of Great
Falls, Montana, for collection. He
asked for receipt and was given a
slip stating that such a check was
left for collection. This receipt was
deposited at rooming house, where
the man obtained free lodging for two
nights, taking good care to leave the
city before the words, "no funds" j"
came back from Montana.
