ice between Seward and Iditarod imprac- t!cal, from a financial standpoint we re- trained from mention of it because we did not wish to throw cold water on the enter prise especially as the local men figuring on the service probably were as well ac- Quainted with these views as was The Pioneer.
 The letter signed by MT Byers seems just triAe more i'll natured than the occa ion would appear to justify, and, if we may b. permitted t0 say so gives out the impres sion of having been written by someone els; who borrowed his name. This is borne out to some extent by certain little idosyncraS,e. of spelling of which Mir. Byers probably would not be guilty, and which have somewhat familiar rig. Indeed the letter gives enc the impression of being round about method of picking a quarrel.
 It may be stated that The Pioneer will continue its policy of printing reliable news, whether it relate to aeroplane service, min ing matters or other news of public inter est; and when it is thought advisable to give publicity to mere rumor it will be designated as such. Rumor never will be designated as news without proper verfica- ton.
 The Pioneer is sincerely pleased to know that Mir Byers and his "associates" have not abandoned the aerial mai! project, and wishes them every success. We also join in the hope that they will "bring a machine to Iditarod next sumner" and suggest that the honor of making the initial flights be conferred on the writer of the above letter.

WEATHER CONT:NUES NilLD
 WITH NO SIGN OF FREEZE-UP

The remarkably mild weather which has prevailed in this section of Alaska so far this season has been the theme of Niha- spread comment and comparison with pre- vioUs years. Within the memory of the residents of the Iditarod district, it i> gen ersly agreed. there has been no seascn which could compare with it with the eE- ception of 1911. In that year the Yukon was closed by the ice at Kaltag on Novem- Der H. The Iditarod was passable for launches as late as October 23, when Earl Byers, with party of passengers for the s>utside, left fer St. Michael. It was re- ported at that time that the records at ! Russian Mission, on the lower Yukon, 1 showed that this trip was the latest to be successfully completed in the sixty-fve years of the missions existence. The party ar rived at St. Michael on October 2S.
 The mining season has been lengthy one, but several of the operators were not able to take advantage to the fullest extent of the weather conditions because of the fact that they had not made preparations for continuing work to such late period, and in some instances were out of fuel for boilers The Up-Grade, which renewed op- erations on Friday of last week, was com peled to close down again before driven out by the frost. The only mining being dcne in the district now is that of the three dredges.
 During the past week light fall of snow has fsIlen, and the ground is white for the first time this fall. The thermometer has registered but a few degrees below the freezing point On Wednesday last slush ice was running in the Iditarod river, but it was light, and there was no indication oi 1 an early freeze.up.

GOOD AND BAD IN
VESTMENTS

Thousands of Arkansas far
mers will be out of debt this
fall with money ahead for. the
first time in their lives. Then
what? Unfortunately many
families will be in such need of
better housing and better
clothes that much of the sur
plus cotton money will have to
go for these purposes. It is hop
ed that every cotton farmerhas
already opened bank account
with the proceeds of his first
sale, paid debts by creeks and
and that he will keep his sur
plus in the bank, But then what
with the surplus? What are
good investments? The good
investments may include pure
bred sows, better COWS, calves
where there is enough feed one
or more mares, if needed next
spring, better tools and farm
machinery, if needed next
spring, rye for winter pasture,
and last but not least, land for
the renter and more land for
the small farmer. There are
thousands Of farmers on forty
acres who have ability to
handle one hundred and sixty
acres. Land is cheap in Arkan-
sas and the men who have
no land and the men who have
small farms should consider
this matter of larger farms. Ar
kansas has too many small
farms and too many large plan
tations. Thoughtful bankers
and other business men can
we'll afford to look about and
help many progressive farmers
into larger land ownership.

WASTE PLACES

On too many farms in Ark
ansas there are ugly waste
places that could grow great
volume of food for family or
feed for livestock. These places
are now overgrown with weeds
and detract from the selling
value of the farm. Why not
pillow these places now and
SOW to rye or oats or rape for
pasture for chickens or pigs or
cows or horses. Why not study
to utilize these waste places by
moving fences and throwing
them into fields or fencing
them for patches of cowpeas,
soybeans, rape and etc. for the
pigs. The average farm Of for
ty acres in Arkansas could
grow enough feed on the waste
places for a COW and a dozen
pigs.

CHICKEN LAW is
UPHELD BY COURT

The Supreme court Monday
held that cities have the power
to enact ordinances declaring
the running at large of fowls
to be a nuisance. The case
came to the Supreme court on
appeal from Van Buren,, Craw-
ford county. Harry Merrill
owned and kept large numbers
of chickens and ducks, and on
complaint of his neighbors that
he was allowing the fowls to
run at large in violation of a
city ordinance, he was arrest
ed and fined S.. The main
question was whether cities
have the power to enact such
ordinances, declaring the run
ming at large of fowls to be a
nuisance, and the Supreme
court held that they have.

POLITICIANS AT SEA
OVER SENATE VACANCY

Little Rock, Oct. 3.-Promi-
nent politicians from all sec
tons of the state who came to
Little Rock today to attend the
funeral of Senator Clarke are
at sea as to what course will
be pursued in selecting Senator
Clarke's successor. Chairman
Joseph w. House Of the Dem
ocratic State Committee
stated tonight that he will give
the matter thorough consider
alton before converting the
committee in special session to
nominate candidate to sue
coed Senator Clarke to be vot-
ed for at the general election
to be held Nov. Z.
1t was stated by close poll
teal friends of Gov. Hays to-
night that the governor will is
sue a call for a special election
and place the date far enough
ahead to give the Democracy
Of the state an opportunity to
select the candidate at gen.
eral primary.
The men most prominently
mentioned tonight are former
Congressman G.. C. Reid of Lit
tie Rock, Associate Justice w
F. Kirby and Congressman T
| H. Caraway of Jonesboro
Frank Kitchens of Helena, one
of the Democratic leaders o.
| Eastern Arkansas, is urging
John l. Moore of Helena fol
the vacancy. Senator Clarke
term would not have expired
until 1920.

START SCHOOLS EARLY

The best crop in Arkansas is
our crop of boys and girls. We
wonder if the fathers and
mothers are always careful to
give these boys and girls a real
square deal in the matter of
schools. In too many cases the
schools seem to be in session
only when the boys and girls
can do nothing else. The best
inheritance the farmers of Ar
kansas can leave their children
is a good education. Now that
the cotton is being picked out
early the rural schools should
be started early and then the
tax term should be heightened
by a "fee" term. Every country
child should have six months of
schooling each year at the very
least.

CELEBRATES HIS

The goth of September was
an important event in the life
of Uncle Bill Owens, when
children, grandchildren and
friends gathered at his home to
have a good time on his 9th
birthday. When an event of this
kind starts, there are always
plenty to finish up and make
the day a pleasant one. Every
one enjoyed the dinner and thu
best evidence of the ladies abil-
ity to prepare good eats was
the manner in which we stored
it away. | cannot conceive of a
better method of bringing
country people into closer and
more cordial relation than
birthday dinners. Old folks
chatted of "old times" the
young sang songs and this
proved to be a very happy ar
rangement as the visitors were
grouped III congenial company
and the crowd somewhat even
ly divided joined in the singing.
Uncle Bill'' as he is Familiarity
called by his friends, as we'll as
relatives, has lived here all of
his life and is a member Of one
OF the largest and best known
families in the county. We wish
for him many more birthdays

BREEDING SEASONS

Arkansas farmers who are
intending to get into the bust
ness of growing good live
stock should grasp one of the
first lessons-that of having
regular breeding seasons for
hogs, cattle and horses. Good
hog breeders in Arkansas want
pigs to be narrowed somewhere
between February 20 and
March 20 when two litters per
year are desired, from Septem-
Der 20 and October 20. Farm
ers should breed dairy COWS to

The best market for corn is
in the Arkansas stables and
feed lots. Don't sell corn, but
buy pigs or calves and feed the
corn and save the fertility in
stead of giving it away. Corn
and meat meal with rape or
clover or Bermuda for pasture
will make pig feeding profit
able. Let us stop forever the
practice of selling corn except
on the hoof and thus stop the
habit of buying northern meat.

&a THE SOBER MAN "a
" % " " % " W " W " y

This is the day of the sober
man. The man who leads q
clean, honest, temperate life
may not be brilliant, but he
stands a better chance of sue
ceeding than his more accom-
plished brother who burns his
brain with drink.
There may be some who will
point to the great men of the
past, the Poes, the Websters,
Clays and other brilliant prodi-
gies of intellect. Their argu-
ment will not stand against the
proof of time.
It is the sober man who sue
.ceeds in this world. He may not
make the spectacular display
of his more emotional brother
stimulated with alcohol, but,
like the turtle in his famous
race with the hare, in the end
he reaches the given goal.
In every walk of life sObriety
counts. There have been men Of
genius who have startled the
world with their wonderful
achievements. This much they
have obtained, how much they
might have obtained had they
not stultified themselves with
drink they nor the world will
never know. Men of practical
business have found after years
of experience that it is better
and safer to employ men
who are sober and who come to
their work with clear heads
than to have experts who can
not be relied upon.
There are poor, deluded men
who think that they can dissi-
pate all night and come totheir
work the next morning. They
probably can, but the lack of
sleep imposes natures penalty.
Their wits are dulled. Their
ability is handicapped. They
are not fit for the duties before
them, and they are not the on
Iy ones who know this. Their
fellow workers quickly appre-
ciate their rundown condition,
and instead of a feeling of pity
they have a feeling of
because they too we'll
know the cause.
OF course the keen employer
man of brilliancy.
He values his services highly,
but when he must accept the
services of such a man condi-
tionally, when he sees him
stagger from the path of his
duty. he loses the respect that
his brilliancy created.
The plodder may lack native
ability. He substitutes patience,
sobriety and willingness to do
his best.
There can be little question
of choice between the two. One
is a safe investment to the bust
ness man. He may not pay as
we'll, but the pay is sure and
certain. With the other it is not.
One thing has been conclusive,
ly demonstrated: No man car
drink and do good work at the
same time. He must either mo-
permit drink to interfere with
his business or he must not per
nit his business to interfere
with his drinking. 1t is a ques
ton of choice and he alone
must decide.-CommercialA APP
