Feed is the thing. Grow feed and
save the cotton money. Plant black
eyed peas in the corn and on the oat
and wheat stubble. They are a good
cash crop and fine for table use dur
ing the winter months.
Spanish peanuts can be planted
apy time this month. An acre of

corn. Plant an acre; turn the pigs
in this fall and watch them get fat.
Sudan Grass is great hay crop.
Two or three asres will make all the
hay the average form will need. Sow
on oat stubble or on land where you
failed to get stand of cotton or
corn.
Corn, Dwarf Mexican, June and
Improved SQuaw are the two est va
rieties for late planting. Be sure it
is corn land, If not. plant sudan grass
or feterita.
Sorghum, both for hay and syrup,
can he planted this month. Half an
acre Of cane win make all the syrup
the average family will need this
winter.
Feterita for grain crop can be
planted on oat or wheat stubble. a
dimes worth of seed will plant an
acre, which will probably make you
more grain than the oats or wheat
did. Follow binder with lister and
plant in furrow.
Don't cultivate corn too deep by

and cause it to fire. II there is roll
of roots on your cultivator shovels

Some of the farmers are talking

REPUBLICANS NoMI-
MATED HUGHES.
Progressives Not Satisfied and win
Probably Not Support the Ticket.
Roosevelt Out of Politics.

The Republican National Conven-
tlon, in session last week at Chicago,
nominated Honorable Charles r.
Hughes of New York as candidate
for president of the United States,
and Charles w. Fairbanks of Ohio
for vice-president. Mr.. Hughes, q
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, Immediately resigned and his
resignation was accepted by Presi-
dent Wilson. Immediately following
this aston, the Progressives nomi-
mated Roosevelt, who declined to ac-
ceptthe nomination until he learned
what the platform and attitude OF
Mr.. Hughes would be. Since that
time he has said he was out of poll
tics entirely.
Early in the convention the Pro-
gressives sent an ultimatum to the
Republican convention, in gist saying
that Roosevelt or some man named
by the Progressives must get the Re-
publican nomination in order to pull
the Progressives back to the Repub-
lican party. Roosevelt sent to the
Republican convention the name of
setts, but the convention did not take
kindly to the suggestion and after
the favorite SOS of several delega-
tions had been eliminated, Hughes
had practically all the votes in the
convention
Leaders Of the Progressives feel
that thew have hee flimflammed and
made the victims of political con-
spiracy, and it is doubtful if they
can be made to support the Republl-
lean ticket. 1t is regarded as highly
proboble that the Democratic ticket
support, and overtures looking to
this support are said to have been
made to Progressive leaders.

TO THE DAYS THAT ARE TO BE.

The days that are gone are fun Of
vain regret,
And troubles, with which our
hearts are running Ger;
Oftimes l wish that l were back
again
With my mother, who waits for
me at the door.
Those days were full of either grief
or Joy:
close my eyes and hear again the
waters roar;
think of one who loved me, a
brown-eyed boy
And he is waiting for me. in moth
er's place at the door.
1 am going back again to my old
home,
And may I never long for other
lands;
But live to love and give my soul to
home
To feel the tender mercy of my
fathefs hands.
The past is dead, so let it sleep; call
1t not
To haunt the future with the woe
and pain
That has been the cruel relentless lot
OF past, that we must not call
back again.
1t is autumn now, dear, with the
leaves and grasses gone;
Leaves that once were green and
bright-now brown;
So let us stand together in our home.
To wait for Father Time who. with
his scythe,
Will NOW his grain all down.

Thirty-Nine VatS Built.

T. A. Gibson of Felsenthal, with the government forces and super intendent of the construction of dipping vats, reports that there are 3o dipping vats completed in the county and that 40 more are to be built at once. He says that oppo- sition to the work of dipping stock is fast disappearing. As farmers see the good work they are falling ing line. He says the farmers are enthusiastic over the work after they see the fine condition it leaves their stock in. He predicts there will be l25 to l5O vats in the county by next spring.
 MT. Gibson is now in position to give stock growers a certificate to ship their stock into tick free territory in Arkansas or Oklahoma. This gives our cattle a better mar ket and better prices. After we have freed this section from ticks, it will mean from $5 to $2O a head more for our cows.-El Dorado Times.

Just A Nickel.

It bought paper in Texarkana office the other day-this nickel did, and it was old and slick and battered. The date was about all that was visible of the lettering on it, but we found that it was over thirty years of age.
 This caused us to stop and think for a moment and then we said to ourselves What a wonderful story this piece of money could tell if on- ly it had the power to talk
 How many times has it been squeezed by some old tightwad, who finally gave it up only in pay ment of taxes or a forced necessa- ry? How many times has it car- ried human beings to the place of their detination on street car2 How many cigars has it bought for American smokers2 How many roses has it painted on the cheeks of the blushing brides2 How many unfortunates have kissed it good py when it was the last cent be- tween them and the poorheuse9 And then. ah how many bright faced boys and girls have brought happiness with it? What pre- cious little piece of metal 1t is; many little fellow has stood at the show case with it tightly squeezed in his sWeaty hand and pointed out to the salesman the kind of gum drops and allday suck CTS that he wanted. Perhaps it has paid for red apple for us in that sweet long ago when we dwelt in childhood's golden realm. Per haps we have bought a package of 1 firecrackers with it, away back wonder at Christmas time, when our hearts leaped wildly at each pop of cap pistol and all the world lay stretched out before US like an oriental rug.
 Just nickel, but it could tell a story that would read like an Egyp- tian fable. It may be that demons now in torment once let it slip drought their slimy fingers, or that angels in Heaven dropped it into a charity box. It might have bought the poison that sent some hopeless soul to his grave or it might have paid for the drug that saved a child's life and gave to the world a man whose voice is heard in the halls of the American congress. A nickel is little thing, but the world with all it's beauty and gran deur is made up of little things We should not overlook the usefulness. power and importance of anything because it is little. A little help might keep some faultering soul from falling. little smile might refreshen a flower of hope about to perish. little deed of kindness might be the necessary stroke of the oar to land you safely on the isle of Eteral Bliss.@Texarkanian. l1I

KEEP ON DIPPING.

hEEF ON DlPFlNG.
 Over seven hundred dipping vats in counties where no systematic regulatory work is being done speaks volumes for the progressive spirit of Arkansas farmers, who are determined to quit paying the aW- ful tax of $2O for each head of cattle. In few counties a very few farmers are gfumbling about the five cent tax, when they are actually paying tax of $2O to keep the ticks. Government fig ures show that much difference in the value of Northern and Sourn- ern cattle. We have one of the finest cattle growing districts in America where all eloyefs and grasses do well, with long open seasons and short feeding seasons.
 PLANT LATE POTATOES.
 Almost everywhere in Arkansas good crop of potatoes can be grown if planted as late as the first of August. If the early crop had any disease, the late potatoes should not be planted in the same ground. Get the ground in good condition, select your potatoes, put them in a tub of water and let them absord considerable water cut into pieces with one good eye to the piece. Gut in the evening and plant in the morning in fresh and rather deep furroWs and cover at once. After three or four days go over the patch or field with a section harrow and again in about !, ten days. The Lookout Mountain potato is highly recommended, but other varieties will do we'll if above suggestions are followed. Let ev- cry farmer grow enough late pota- toes for family use until next spring and some to sell.
 SWAT MOSQUITOES AND FLIES.
 It is thought by many physicians that the labor loss alone from ma laria would amount to an enormous sum. In some counties it is esti- mated that one-fifth of the entire labor time is lost because of this preventable malady. No house in Arkansas should be without good screens for doors and windows, that will keep out both mosquitoes and flies. Screens are cheaper than medicines. Clean up the pools where mosquitoes breed and the manure piles where flies breed and thus check malaria and other diseases. Let every one preach the gospel of good health.
 FARM IMPLEMENT PRICES.
 As a step in preparedness 1t will be wise for every farmer who ex- poets to buy new farm tool next spring to do it now. It is very ap- parent that there will be a marked increase in the prices of all farm machinery. Farmers who have idle money or who can borrow at the legal rate of interest, can we'll afford to buy now such tools as disc harrows, cultivators, planters, mowers and binders. There is not one chance in thousand that one of the above farm tools will be any cheaper next January and there is every probability that each of them will be from Is to 25 per cent higher.
 FALL AND WINTER GARDENS.
 Don't let weeds take the gar dens. Clean up as fast as a crop is gathered and plant something else. If good sized plot is cleaned at one time put on little well routed manure, blow deep and plant
