No Indian is allowed to sing this

MOTOR TRUCKS BUILD
 BETTER SCHOOL HOUSES

Among the possibilities of this au- tomobile age is fewer school houses, but better ones, and with better teachers. This is possible by the con- solidation of districts which are un- able to afford school more than few months of the year, and if they erect school houses they are poor speci- mems.
 The consolidation of the districts permits the pooling of the school tax and the erection of an adequate building, and the corps of eachers for three districts, teaching a full term, is little larger than for the single dis tricts4
 The distance to the central school is overcome through the use of the motor truck. One durable truck can gather in all the children every morn ing, and such truck the Interna- tionaI Harvester Company put in ser vice for a school district in Lonoke county. The children like the new ar rangement better than the old system of walking to school, and the parents like 1t better because it saves the wear and tear on clothing.

CORN BINDERS SIMPLIFY
 MODERN FARM LIFE

Only a few years ago the ensilage cutter was unknown and the task of filling a silo was an irksome, as well as warm one After the cutter had made this work one of pleasure, the inventor then turned his mind to the simplification of the handling of the crop, and the corn cutter followed.
 The cutter, such as is now being distributed in the Arkansas field by the International Harvester Company, cuts and binds the stalk of corn on the order of the wheat binder. The bundles are small, and just the size for feeding into the ensilage cutter, thus saving much time, for by the old system the stalks were in all direc- tions and had to be strengthened be tore they could go into the cutter.

 Gone to thy home Of rest, far from
 the world of sin, There no tears are shed, no partings
 ever come. And loved ones all are gathered In, Secure in shelter from all pain. We all will miss you greatly, When we think of the day when you
 were here; But we know thy sorrows are past, And a crown thou hast won at last. Dear widowed wife, grieve not, For your loved one is at rest, Soon he will welcome you forever, In that glorious home of the blest. Weep not for him dear sister, Still we know it is hard to bear. But keep in mind as you travel, You will meet on the shores eternal

B.P.KIDD ADVISES
 EARLY BUYING SAYS DELIVERIES AFTER FIRST OF YEAR WILL BE UNCER- TAIN, AND PRICES WILL
 BE NO LOWER.
By B. P. Kidd of the Doyle-Kidd Dry
 Goods Company.

By E. F. Kidd or the DOyle-k1dd Dry
 Goods Company.
 Conditions in the dry goods busi- ness are most unusual for the fall of 1916 and the spring of 1917.
 A great many buyers have al- ready taken advantage of this situa- tion, and for the past three weeks the dry goods business in Little Rock has witnessed unusual activity Those who have been inclined to hold off and wait to see the outcome of the crop, and possibly witness break in prices, have been disappointed, and it is very evident now that firm prices, with a tendency to material advances are ahead of us.
 The outlook seems to indicate a small cotton crop that will bring a fancy price Some even predict 20 cents for cotton, and with the good price for seed it seems that the av- craze bale of cotton will be marked anywhere from $50 to $9O. We feel that there is no use for the retailer staying out of the market now on ac- count of prices. The earlier he re- plenishes his stock the more sure he is to get the lowest prices.
 The stocks in this market are full and complete at this time. Prices are in line with any other jobbing market in the country, and with freights in our favor, quick deliveries and prompt service, we predict the heaviest busi- ness the wholesale dry goods business has had since Little Rock has been a jobbing market.
 There is no disputing the fact that the merchandise is going to be hard to get for the remainder of this and the season of 1917. Deliveries are un- certain; the mills have sold for months ahead, and will guarantee nothing. Our advice to the trade is to place their orders early in order to insure at least portion of their

 There has been a dearth of social functions during the heated term, save one given by MT. and Mrs Reeves Schaer last Saturday evening There were over hundred guests present and all pronounced it a most elegant and enjoyable affair.
 The recent showers have done much good, but came little too late for the crops to come up to the high standard anticipated a few weeks ago. The planters are gratifed, how ever, for they have assurance of a plenty of "hog and hominy'' for the coming fall and winter. Up to the present time the boil weevil is non est. And, too, we are rejoicing over the fact that the dreadful scourge anthrax has not visited our section. The cattle are doing well. The dip ping goes on regularly.
