FOOD FOR THE MIND.

Never was there a time in the history of this country when the people at large were as constant and inveterate readers of news papers as they are today. and this is especially so in the matter of newspaper advertising.
 People who only a few years ago would hardly look at an ad- vertisement now digest every word in it, and they do it with a purpose. The human mind is broadening and expanding and becoming more liberal. It de- mands food, and particularly that class of food that conserves the financial interests of the reader. And the well worded advertisement appeals directly to every we'll balanced mind. It points the way to economy.

RURAL SUMMER SCHOOLS

Probably one thousand of those schools will be in session in Ark ansas in July and August. Some practical outdoor work will help these schools to be more effective than if the entire time were spent on the usual school studies, The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture with offices at Little Rock is pre- pairing outlines on six or eight subjects including studies or outlines on Poultry" "Clo- vers, :" Weeds, ;" Trees" and a few others.

STUFFED WITH PALACES.

Col. Roosevelt's speech at Kansas City was marred by a presumptuous falsehood, f o r there is not a peace.at-any-price man in all America. There are, however, millions of them who refuse to be stampeded by the buckets-of- blood advocates who would foolishly plunge this coun- try into the maelstrom of war that now is moving down mill lions of the flower of European manhOod-men forced to fight their fellows because of they know not what. Judge Wray's withdrawal of his support from Roosevelt in consequence of the extreme military position taken by the Colonel likely will be followed by the withdrawal of many other progressives who have become weary of war and all things connected with it. This country cannot be consoled nor coerced into military mad ness and it rapidly is being edu- cated out of hero worship. It recognizes with facility what MT. Dooley felicitously character izes as 'th' Teddy Bird-rd" as a dead hoot owl stuffed with jing- oistlc fallacies.

TIP TO BROTHER EDITORS.

Big national advertisers are
 learning that they can reach more people for less money
 through the columns of the local newspapers than with the 5000 a page service of the magazines they have formerly used, and many of them are already divert ing their advertising to the local newspapers. A significant thing about it is that practically all of them always inquire whether or not the paper uses a syndicate ready-print service, and then give the preference to the all
 home print papers. We have no quarrel with the w. N. U., who sells the patent" service, but it seems to us that the above facts ought to cause ready print be- lievers to stop and think. The home print paper saves about 50 per cent on the cost of the stock and gets the long end from the foreign advertisers granting always that they have sufficient circulation to give ad- vertisers results for their money.

PREPARE FOR PEACHES.

The peach crop of Arkansas will not quite equal previous records in quantity, but it is hoped that our shippers will raise their previous standard.
 This year Arkansas strawberries
 were shipped on a higher stand ard than ever before and the
 season ended with Arkansas berries leading the country in the demand in northern and eastern cities. It will pay to cull better and keep out both small and overripe peaches and use the canners at home. Ship fewer peaches and keep the price up and can the culls. JNow is the time for neighbor-

EDITORIAL COMMENT
NEIGHBORHOOD FAIRS.

County Agent Tucker, of Miller county, has helped to or ganize five neighborhoods in that county for fairs to be held in September or October. Each district includes from four to seven school units and the organi- zation has set or officers, and five committees-program, fair, education, health and roads. Thus there is something for everybody to do towards build ing up the community. Last year two such fairs were held, the one at Fouke having an attendance of two thousand people. Last year the prizes were furnished by the business men of Texarkana, but this year the farmers decided to finance the fairs themselves although cordially inviting the town peo- pie to attend. There should be a thousand of these neighbor- hood fairs held in Arkansas this fall. The Extension Service of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture with offices at Fayetteville and Little Rock, is deeply interested in this movement and ninety men and women county agents are willing to help.

The Ex- tension Division of the Univer- sity and the U. s. Department of Agriculture will send a horticul- turist to any neighborhood on request for a packing school.

JUST now there is a good deal

JUST now there is a good deal being said about this saving daylight plan, the theory f which is to start work an hour earlier every morning by the simple process of setting t h e clock ahead an hour in the sum- mertime. It certainly must take a theoretical mind to "get' that. If we get up when the sun is peeping over the eastern hills, we'll be just as sleepy whether the clock registers 4 a. m. or 6 a. m. Not that we ever get up that early; we are dealing mere ly with theories now.

Turn Arkansas loose with her new flag and her new forward movement in education," is the slogan which promises to inaugu- rate an unprecedented era of progress in the state. With the adoption of Amendment No. l2 and with a teacher-governor at
 the head of affairs, Arkansas will be in a position to reach out and secure her fair share of the south bound tide of immigration.

OVER 300 schools in Arkansas were forced to suspend during the year 1915 on account of lack of funds. This was nothing less than calamity, and creates a condition which can only be remedied by the adoption of Amendment No. 12.

GOOD schools are the greatest asset that any state or communi- ty can possess. They influence property values more than any other one factor. If Amendment No. 12 is adopted, every county in the state will profit thereby.

William Harrison Acton, life
long resident of Decatur county, died
al the home of his son, Geo. F. Acton
at 1929 Norton Ave-, Kansas City,
Mo-. Friday, Dec. Is, 1916. Mr.. Ac-
ton had been in poor health for some
wears, but we understand that the
Immediate cause of death was the
bursting of a blood vessel in the
head.
About two months ago he went to
Kansas City, Mo. His remains were
brought to Davis City Sunday and
taken to the Hamilton cemetery near
Pleasanton, where he was buried
near the scenes of his childhood. He
was soldier for the union in the
civil war.
A short burial service was con-
Quoted at the grave and the remains
laid to rest until the resurrection
morn.
The following clipping was taken
from a Kansas City, Mo-, paper OF
Dec. 16: William Harrison Acton, a
civil war veteran, died at the home
