WAGONS ALSO ON
 INCREASED LIST

Do your wagon shopping early" is the advice of N. w. Nelson, general agent for the International Harvester Company in Arkansas.
 Everything used in the construc- tion of the wagon, particularly the steel and the paint, has advanced ma terially in price, says MT. Nelson, "and this has caused many of the manufacturers to advance their prices materially. Those who have not done so will be forced to follow within a short time, and we have been advised that another material change upward is coming.
 wagons are going to be up about IS per cent, and the merchant who gets in on the market within the next few weeks will have healthy profit to show over the man who delays his buying until after the change has come."

CITY LIFE IS NOW
 POSSIBLE IN COUNTRY

All luxuries of the city are now possible in the country, and at very moderate cost. The small horse power gasoline engine is responsible for this.
 There stands a one and one-half horse power engine of the John Law son Frost King" type in the door way of the c. E. Rosenbaum Machin- cry Company on East Markham street that sputs and sputters right along, attracting the attention of every passer-by.
 Tt is possible with an engine of that kind" says H. H. Sehmuck, man. ager of the machinery concern, "to pump water for bath and all conven- fences of the house, to operate a dy- namo with it and have electric lights, and do most of the drudgery about the place. Many of the plantations in this vicinity are installing them. They cost from about $55 up, and we have them from one and a half to fifty horse power. After they are installed they supply the house with light and water cheaper than it can be purchas- ed in the city"

BENTON CLAY IS
 MOST VALUABLE E

A man bending under the weight of huge sack entered the Mangles- dorf Laboratories on Tuesday and dropped his burden on the floor. He opened the sack, displaying a heap of reddish clay and gravel, and asked Dr. Wm. F. Manglesdorf to make him an immediate chemical analysis in or der that he might know the value of the material for road building.
 Dr. Manglesdorf immediately began the tests, taking a dozen or more specimens of the substance, ranging In fineness from that of flour, to gray el the size of a hen egg, and within an hour he was able to say the ma terial was the best for road building he had ever passed upon.
 The clay and gravel came from a pit near the Rock Island station in Benton, in Saline county Much of It was in a solid mass, an adhesion produced by heat which melted the iron and other materials. The clay was submitted to the fire, as well as chemical tests, and Dr. Manglesdorf declares that the roatv built of it, if properly constructed, will be travelled by our ancestors in the years to come.

QUIT CULTIVAlINC
 COTTOl TOO SOON

In a letter to the Arkansas Profit able Farming Bureau, c. O. Carpen- ter. assistant commissioner of agrl- culture of the Iron Mountain, advises farmers against the tendency to quit cultivating cotton too early. He says:
 Tt would pay to continue cultiva- tion through August, or at least the larger part of the month. Of course, some fields of cotton will have made so rank a growth that it is not prac- ticable to cultivate, but in such case the cotton should have been planted in wider rows.
 Shallow cultivation during August will conserve the moisture and vii increase the crop by keeping suffl- cient moisture to enable the plant to hold more of it's fruit and to strength en it's fiber, which will make it more profitable to the spinner.
 "At this time cultivation is the only practical step that farmers can take to combat the boil weeyil. One shallow cultivation with heel sweep will be all that is required after the recent rains"
