HOL MAN ACRES IS A
 GREAT REALTY BARGIN

Holman Acres is located just seven and half miles from Little ROCK, on one of Pulaski countys best turn bikes, which gives access to ready market for ali kinds of produce. It has been put on the market by the Holman Real Estate Company, and is one of the most attractive realty bar gains offered today.
 There is a fine grammar school, al so a church, adjacent to the property Ten and twenty-acre tracts are being sold at most attractive prices and on terms within the reach of all. There are no swamps or lowlands within miles of the property.
 The surface of Holman Acres is just rolling enough to give good drainage; the soil is sandy loam with red clay subsoil. making an ideal combination for all kinds of truck farming. There are no rocks to interfere with the cultivation of every foot of the land. The timber is large enough to elimi- nate the underbrush, making it easy to clear for cultivation.
 According to individual tastes, Hol- man Acres can be utilized for either truck-farmlng, poultry culture, fruit growing, or dairying-or if desired, all four can be carried on successful ly by devoting part of the tract to each. As every foot of the land is available for service. one can plan ex- actly how to use the tract to best ad- vantage. There is no waste on Hol- man Acres every foot is tillable.

WHAT OUR GOLD COSTS Us.

! am at the Treadwell mines which
lie here on Douglas island In southern
Alaska, about as far north Of the United
States boundary as the distance from
New York to Chicago. Within a rifle
shot of where my typewriter stands there
are four great mining properties that
have already yielded eight times as much
gold as the amount Uncle Sam paid for
the territory. Their total production
I'D to January !, 1915, was 1900. coo tons of
ore, from which was taken more than
SIS, 5000 100 in gold, or 81, AZ for each ton OF
ore that went through the mills. Last
year these mines produced more thar
! SOC, 600 tons Of ore, and their gold output
that year was over $3,So,OM, or more
! than one-half what we paid for Alaska
The mills are now crushing about $3.50
tons of rock per day. and they have
enough ore blocked out to keep them busy
for six years to come. The force of la
borers consists of 1900 men, and they
get on the average wages OF 500 pei
month. The mines support a community
of about 3,0C0 people, who live in the
towns Of Douglas and T%readwell.
It is as much as two horses can haul in
a wagon over a country road. An ounce
of pure gold Is worth $50. 30 that the
gold represented by $2G would weigh
about one-ninth of an ounce. This means
that only one-ninth Of an ounce Of gold

GOOD STOCK RAISING PAYS.
Extra Care Taken More Than Offset
by Extra Profit.

That 1t pays to raise good stock Is
illustrated by the experience Of two Utah
ranchmen who sent their steers to the
same market on the same day. Both
ran their stock on national forest range
under grazing permits, both used the
same amount OF range per head Of stock,
and both paid the same grazing fee.
One gave close attention to the selec-
ton of his breeding cows and used only
high-grade bulls. The other made no ef-
fort to improve his herd. The owner of
the hlgh-grade stock received $40 per
head more for his steers than the owner
OF the common stock.
On some Of the national forest ranges
the stockmen club together. It Is reported.
and buy ~high-grade bulls which are own
ed as community property. Since the adj
ministration OF the forests is in the hands
of the department OF agriculture, naa-
urally there is a desire to encourage the
use Of good breeding stock and elimi-
nate the scrubs. In general, the effort
is to make the ranges as beneficial to the
country as possible. This is lone partly
by making experiments and studies to
find out what extent new methods will
pay.
An example is n series of experiments
covering the use OF sheds and small
fenced pastures during lambing time
which, forest officers say, has practical
ly demonstrated the value Of this method
in increasing the number of lambs saved.
Although the range on most Of the
forests are said to be practically stock
ed to the limit, the experts believe it
is possible to increase the output of the
. "a pac Clhcfanfinlv fhrnIpt purpyn
methods OF utilization. One of the most
promising OF these methods Is to increase
the average weight Of the animals turn
ed off by Improving the grade Of stock
on the ranges. The thoroughbred eats no
more grass than the scrub. weights more
pounds when fat, and sells for a higher
price, without putting any additional
burden on the range itself.
That livestock leaves the national range
in excellent condition is indicated by
several instances reported by forest Of
ficers during the season Of 1915. Sheep
men using the Hayden national forest
range in Colorado agreed at a recent
meeting that their 1915 lambs averared
fully ten pounds per head above the
average of ten years ago, which they at
tributed entirely to the results OF range
conservation. OF two large shipments
of lambs from the Wyoming national
forest, one averaged eighty and the
other eighty-four pounds per head on
the scales at Omaha. The average
weight OF 1000 head Of April and May
lambs from the Madison forest in Monta-
ma, after being shrunk for twelve hours
was 1871 pounds each. An even more
surprising result is reported from the
Beaverhead forest, also in Montana,
From a band Of 300 yves grazed on this
forest, the owner raised and shipped $50
lambs which averaged 81 pounds pei
head after being driven fifty-five miles
to the shipping point.

new SCHOOL BUILDING
Catholic Diocese to Erect $780,.
600 Structure.
Located Mt Corner Of st. Paul and Pearl
Streets, II VIII Also Have ACCOM-
mOdatiOns for Various
Societies.

A building which will cost between
$4,000 n s125,0OO ana will provide
a high school building and quarters
for all of the Roman Catholic societies
of Burlington is to be erected by the
clergy of the Roman Catholic diocese
Of this city at the southwest corner
of st. Paul and Pearl streets. The
property on which the building is to
be erected has a frontage of 141.9 feet
on st. Paul street and 1863 on Pearl
street and at present is occupied by a
brick house No. 1 st. Pau street and
a brick block or Pearl street which Is
practically built against the rear Of
the st. PAUL street house and is num-
bered 1O1 and 1913 Pearl street, and a
detached frame house at 81 Pearl
street. This property. which had been
in the Charles Seymour family for al
most one hundred years. was trans
ferred in 1911 by Benjamin r. Seymour
to Alice Seymour MacIfaffie Of Swa-
tow, China, who, with her husband.
conveyed it to the Roman Catholic
diocese of Burlington April rs, 1913.
The work of tearing down the brick
buildings preparatory to the work OF
erecting the new edifce will be begun
about the middle of next month. 1t is
understood that the frame house at o.
Pearl street will be moved to the va
cant lot on the east side of Pine street
between Pearl and Cherry streets,
which Is owned by the Catholic do
cese.
The clergy and members of st.
Mary's Cathedral feel that the erection
of this building. which viii. contain,
besides the high school and club rooms,
q gymnasium. bowling alleys and other
rooms for the entertainment of young
people, will fill a longfelt want in the
Catholic community of this city. Plans
for such a building were formulated
several years ago, but it is only recently
that they have been carried to a sue
cessful conclusion. Frank L. Austin
of Burlington will be the buildine
architect in charge of the work, Will,
1t Is understood that several Boston
firms will do the construction work.
