Cost of Labor.
To the regular farm help he pays
more than the usual wages, but is
careful to employ only the best men
obtainable. HIS cash cost as shown
by the pay roll averages only 14H
cents per hour of labor. The actual
cost is always over 20 cents, the differ
ence being taken Up by house rent,
milk, garden, meat, potatoes and other
perquis.tes allowed 10 employees. III
making advance estimates on work to
be done, or the saving that may be &C
complished by the installing of new
devices and methods, he uses % cents
per hour of labor as the basis figuring
He considers it to be one of the priv
ileges of operating farm, that the
boss is able to keep in close touch
with the individual men who work
with him.
1t is his observation that if man
does his work right and is paid fairly.
living is the most that there is to life
anyway. He firmly believes that men
who are employing as many workers
as they can teaching thom to accom-
plish as much as possible, and treating
them fairly, are each and everyone DO
ing more for humanity than all of the
fool agitation and misguided legisla-
ton in the world combined.
interesting Statement.

statement by Mr.. William II. Robbins.

There is considerable misunder.

public regarding purebred cattle. It
is not unusual for customer to say to
US that he is raising hogs for pork and
does not want fancy stock. This is an
appellation that 6,etest. l consider
that there is no such term as fancy

cannot be rightly applied to our farm

Good Points Of Hog.

eyes, ears, feet and coat of hog were
fancy points, since they have no place

MRS. J. w. CONGER, Editor.


 Owing to the threatening weather the Baptist Woman's Missionary So- ciety did not meet Monday afternoon, but we trust nothing will prevent us from meeting Monday afternoon, June l2, as we have very important mat ters that claim our attention. Next Monday afternoon, remember, is the time for our regular business meet ing. Our summers work will be out lined, and many points of special in- terest will be discussed. We need you, so be sure to come. We need every member of the Baptist Woman's Missionary Society at this meeting Come and take your share of the work. Dividends" will soon be de- clared, come and look after your own interests. Perhaps you are mak- ing more than you had hoped. Plans will be suggested whereby your in- vestment will yield larger results. At any rate suppose you come and help us engineer theis business. It is a big business, paying business; one in which you are vitally concerned whether yo urealize it or not. So we do earnestly urge a full attendance on the part of the entire member ship.
 The Senior B. Y. P. U. met Sunday evening as usual. Reorganization, election of officers, and a general out line of the summers work was the principal business of the session.
 The Junior B. Y. P. U. held it's regular weekly meeting with good attendance, but we hope to have bet ter, as we get fully into the summers | work.
 The Young Ladies' Missionary So- ciety of the M. E. church will meet on Monday afternoon at o'clock, following is the program: Hymn.

Does he live in the North or the

E. T. Smith, travelling passenger agent of the Fort Smith and Western railroad, is in Conway today in the interest of his road. Mr. Smith states that his road now provides the short est route between Arkansas and Ok lahoma City, and that double daily service with Pullman, club cars and parlor-buffet cars are now being operated over the line.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-06-09

If there's any hard or unpeasant task Or difficult thing to do, 'Tis always offered to Somebody Else Now, isn't this very true? But if some fruit or pleasant trip Is offered to Dick or Jess, We hear not word about Somebody
 Else.
 Why? I will leave you to guess. The words of cheer for stranger lad This Somebody Else will speak; And the poor and helpless who need
 a friend
 Good Somebody Else must seek. The cup of cold water in Jesus name, o Somebody Else must offer; The words of love for a broken heart Brave Somebody Else must proffer. There are battles in life only we can
 fight,
 And victories, too, to win; And Somebody Else cannot take our
 place
 When we shall have entered in. But if Somebody Else has done his
 work
 While we for our ease have striven, Twill be only fair if the blessed re-
 ward
 To Somebody Else is given.

WHERE DEATH Turks ALWAYS
Bullets Sing Without Ceasing, and
Birds Sometimes, in "No Mans
Land" on Battle Front.

But it is a wonderful thing, that
strip we call No Mans Land, running
from the North sea to Switzerland
500 miles. All the way along the line,
day and night, without a moments
cessation, through all these long
months, mems eyes have been glaring
across that forsaken strip, and lead
has been flying to and fro over it.
To show yourself means death. But
| have heard a lark trilling over it in
the early morning as sWeetly as any
bird ever sung owe an English
meadow. A lane of death 800 miles
long, strewn from end to end with
the remains of soldiers. And to either
side of it all through those 800 miles
a warren of trenches, dugouts, saps
tunnels, underground passages, inhab'
tied, not by rabbits, but by millions
of rats, it is true, and millions of hiv
ing, busy men, with countless billions
of rounds of death-dealing ammuni
ton, and a complex organization a

Why Labor Is Scarce.

Here is one reason which you may
have overlooked why labor is growing
scarcer every day in the United States:
We have now in Pennsylvania alone
225, 1000 automobiles. One-third of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs, an army of 10000 able-bodied
men removed entirely from produc-
tive work.
The army of pleasure car chauffeurs
in the whole country must exceed hale
a million men-all nonproducers. 1n'
deed, there is another great big army
of men building pleasure cars to be
operated by these other nonproducers
of essentials.
They used to complain in Germany
that every taxpayer had to carry a sol
dier on his back. We vary it in the
United States by carrying a chauffeur
on our backs, says "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Ledger.
