and at the same time cattle $ a pro- duct which is liquidated evsn more quickly and more easily :han is cot ten. The one-year tenan5 ,far'Aer sys- tenn prevents the farmer from having livestock, just as it prevents him from improving the soil of a farm which he may not till next year. A long-lease system, or an actual ownership of the land, brings live stocks, and the farmer feels a direct interest, in maintaining and improv- ing the fertility of the scil. to the general advantage of the entire com munity.
 MT. Page dwelt on the same lines, and incidentally brought to the at ten.ion of the bankers the fact that the children of the tenant-cotton farmers are deprived Of an education, [ that they may help till and gather the crop. The citizenship of the state will eventually pay for this, he said. Nobody is to blame. he sad, II i is the system which is wrong. If the banks will lsnd direct to the farmer the credit merchant, the supply man will not be harmed-they will merely l be transferred from 3 credit basis to cash basis, again benefitting every body
 ! Mir Page analysed the reason why the credit-n erchant must charge suca enormous profits on the goods he fur- tn;shes the farmer. There are the usual overhead charges, the interest ,r money borrowed from the banks arsurance commissions, interest on Investment, and all of which aggre- ra.e considerable amount. and in addition t. this. the credit 'nercnans must cH1rge a heavy percentase os- cyise of the law of averages, taroush which the man who pays, pays no. on,v his cwn debt. but also the dept cf the man who fails 70 pay.

 MT. Kapp urged strongly that the educational system Of the state be changed and improved, that the chii- dren of the state might be taught more of agriculture. He stated the children are being taught all sorts ol things, tending toward pr1fesslons' but eading nowhere, because oniv five cut of each hundred attend col lege to complete such education. An- sclutely nothing about farming IS taught in any of the public scncols. he said. It is only within recent years that agricultural schools nave been operated anywhere, he said, ana in this move ent, Arkansas stands well, up twit:a any other s.ate. .,

 Bunuuet Last Night.


 Judge H. D. Palmer of Star City Star City and Lincoln county banker and. public official, but who has now moved to Pine Bluff-was the princi- pal speaker at the annual banquet of Group z, at the Hotel Pines last night. M
 The banquet was not attended by all the members who were present at the business sessions yesterday. owing to the fact that many of the visitors were compelled to leave for their homes late yesterday afternoon and evening. The visitors from Mem phis, Little Rock and St. Louis, how ever, and members of the group from points nearby, were in attendance and thoroughly enjoyed the affair.
 Judge w. D. Jones was the toast master, and presided in his usual able manner. A delicious supper was served. and the meal was spiced with flashes of wit, witticism and humor by one or another of the diners.
 The special sleeping car of the Cot ton Belt which is being used by the Little Rock and St. Louis bankers who are making a tour-trip of the several group meetings, was placed at Main and Third last evening, where it was boarded by the bankers after the banquet. It left on No. at 1:15 o'clock this morning for Jonesboro, where there will be another group meeting today.

That a rate of one and one-third fare, for the annual convention of the Arkansas Bottlers' Protective as sociation here Feb.

In putting a garment together, great care must he taken to match al! notches; when care is taken at this stage the gown can prove only success.
 e, The smaller diagram 0! the two illustrated will show you how these notches are placed together.
 Each notch is numbered and the corresponding numbers show where the different pieces of the garment are joined together.
 The lesson for this dress is given for the cutting of material forty-four inches wide (the average width of the material mentioned as suitable for this pattern.)
 All Woolen goods should be thor oughly shrunken before any attempt $ made at cutting.
 Particular attention mus. be given to this; as neglect of shrinking will often times ruin dress by. leaving marks ct pressing and watc stains.
 Examine your material and asccr- tain it it has a nap, up and down. and Ii 1t casts different shades when the material is held with one length run ping up and the other down. ~ Poplins and serges leave no nap or up and down, brosdcle,th has and must be cut with the nap running down on all pieces, velvet and velveteen both z have a nap, but must be cut just the reverse from broadcloth. they must have the nap going up to give them more lustre and so that they will shed dust.
 We are now ready for the actual cutting of the garment.
 Lay the material out on the table and place severa! rows of pins through it to hold in place and prevent slipping.

Harry F. Kapp of Camdef, district talks were n:ade by State Bank Elk .aminer J. M. Davis, w. l.. Dewsody of Pine Bluff, and R. E. Wait of Little Rock, secretary of the Arkansas Bankers association. ..
 MT. Owen spoke intNestingly, stressing the point that without good roads, the banks. and all other lines ol business, weuld not be prosperous. The farmer must have msans of marketing his produce, 'slsa the pro- duct is valueless, he said: Good reads eliminate the distance between the p1 oducer and the consumer, allowing the consun~ss to purchase at the low Lest price, while the producer obtains the maximum price, all middlemen being eliminated. Hence. all classes are prosperous, the banks with the others. MT. Owen anncdunced that within the year the gap in the dcllarway will Little Rock, and that he is confi- dent Arkansas will build more good
 roads in 1916 than in all the past years Ill ner history.
 MT. Wright's talk of Thrift" dealt
 mostly with the bankers interest in ,he propaganda, in that it was filled with suggestions as to how thrift ! might he urged and encouraged, by th. bankers. The teaching of thrift in the schools was urged by him, and tie celebraticn of Thrift Day" like wise was strongly suggested and re commended.

 Mrs. C1itz spoke interestingly ot
 the work the canning and hSme dem.
 onstration clubs are doing, in aid of
 the movement to uplift farm life. She
 spoke of the interest the banker has
 in the n ater1al welfare of all the pec- rle of his, community, because when
 the people are rrcsparous, the banker is prosperous. and she urg7d that as
 much attention be paid the women
