THANKSGIVING

I'm thankful to live in a land
that is free,
With chances for all men, who
ever they be,
To labor in fields of their own
for the spoil
That comes to the hand that is
willing to toll;
To stand without fear, without
favor or grace,
From masters enthroned in in
herited place.
Pm thankful for hearts with
deep sympathy thrilled,
Who care for the weary, the
weak and the chilled;
For boys and for girls to inherit
the land
With spirits alert, and the will
to command
Past, present, or future, what er
may befall,
I've thanks in my heart for the

VALUE OF THE
AMERICAN OPOSSUM

"Very few people in the
United States, outside of those
directly interested in the sale
Of fur pelts or the manufacture
of fars, realize the commercial
value Of the pelt of the Ameri-
can Opossum, or the quantity
of these little animals killed
each year for the pelt and
meat. say A. B. Shubert, pres
ident Of the largest house III
the world dealing exclusively
IN American raw furs.
The quantity of pelts hand
led By the collectors of furs IS
over three and a half million
skins a year, representing a
money value from two to three
million dollars paid to the trap
.pers Of 0possum.
Opossum and sweet potato
if the Opossum is properly
prepared and cooked-is con-
sidered by epicures to be a
dish fit for the gods"
The fur being very light in
color can be dyed most any col
or desired. Dyed in imitation of
the very popular skunk fur,
there is nothing as good, and
our American fur dyers pro-
duce an article that is hard for
the unacquainted to distinguish
from the genuine article. The
better grades of Opossumm make
an elegant fur trimming and
these grades can also be made
up into handsome sets of furs,
which can be sold at very
reasonable price. 1t is a medium
class fur and the best for ap-
pearanee and service.
At today's market prices,
trappers will be we'll paid for
their efforts and time in trap
ping this valuable fur-bearer.

CORN AND COTTON
CLUBS FOR FARMER
Page Shows Some of the Ad'
vantages to be Gained
From Organization

The farmers in different neil
ghborhoods can get great bene-
fit from organized cotton or
corn clubs, or both. We have
the BOYS corn and cotton clubs
and they are doing great good.
THE farmers can getmore bene-
| fit than the boys if they will
organize clubs, and meet once
week. A club that embraces
everything is top-heayy and
soon runs to seed.
A cotton club for cotton far
mers would help the members
to make money. At the weekly
meetings the different phases
of cotton growing and market
ing could be discussed to adj
vantage. In everyneighborhood
a great many different varie-
ties could be discussed. This
would lead to the adoption of
the better varieties and the
elimination of the poor ones. 1t
would eventually lead to the
adoption of one variety of cot
ton for each neighborhood
where a club existed, and this
would help to keep the seed
strain pure and to market at a
better advantage, because the
cotton would be uniform.
By discussion in the club
meetings the farmers would
soon adopt the cotton that
makes the most money per acre
which is the real test.
On our farm was raised this
year two varieties of cotton
One load of 1900 pounds wa;
taken to the gin from each OF
the two kinds on the same day
One made a 395 pound balean
sold at 20 cents. The othermadt
495 pounds and sold for 151I
cents. The seed from each sole
for the same amount. 1t cost Il
cents hundred more to picl
the 20 cent cotton-or 1925
and 70 cents less to gin it
When the whole difference
was figured out the load of q
cent cotton brought 73 cents
more than the other. It tool
the same labor to produce
each; but by actual test Of
yield made by picking one row
of each variety side by side
the 20 cent cotton weighed u
pounds and the other 101
pounds.
Which was the most profit.
able variety to grow? In a cot.
ton club is a good place to dis
cuss such matters as this anC
many others and get valuable
information. The same woulC

LEGISLATURES BIG
PROBLEM Is REVENUE
Greatest Problem Before Ark
ansas Solons For Many SEES
sions Still Unsolved

Little Rock, Nov. 28.-The
contest for the Speakership in
the next House is becoming a
little warm. The Legislature
will be in session almost before
we are aware. There is a larg-
er field of aspirants for gavel
honors than usual, and it is not
likely there will be much thin
ming out until the caucuses are
opened the week preceding the
converting of the General As
sembly. In the meantime other
lightning rods may be raised
in the hope that the lightning
will strike.
Avowed candidates for the
speakership include Lee Ca
zort, w. B. Brooks, 10 John
son, T. S. Osborne, Brooks
Norfleet, L. A. Gentry, and j.
d. Doyle, while receptive can
didates are Louis Josephs, Ben
MeFerrin, and John A. Riggs.
Those whose names are omit
ted from this list are privileged
to add them without extra
cost.
In the Senate there is an ev-
en- larger field, in proportion,
and it has not progressed far
enough to hazard a guess as to
the leader-in fact, it is rather
an unsafe plan to make any
predictions in such cases, and
those who profess to know
just what is going to happen
should be required to take GU,
a prophets license.
Undoubtedly, the big ques-
ton that will come before the
Legislature. as it has been
coming before every General
Assembly for years, and will
continue to come until it is
solved, is that of revenue.
There are three courses to be
pursued; the tax rate must be
raised, expenditures must be
curtailed, or additional sources.
of revenue must be provided.
The aggregate tax rate cannot
be raised under the present
constitution. although it might
be differently distributed The
state is growing rapidly, more
demands are being made upon
it, and its material welfare
prohibits a radical reduction
in expenditures, although
rigid economy is both desirable
and an evidence of business
acumen. No one doubts but
that there is much assessible
property that does not appear
on the tax books. Some will
probably suggest "tax ferret"
for each county, as Oklahoma
has, and the whole state awaits
the plans that will be submit
ted by Gov. Brough.
