SHUN THE PEODLfR,"
 DEAN MILLER WARNS

The greatest hindrance to a pros porous agriculture in most parts of Arkansas is the crop mortgage sys- tenn and it's twin evil, the supply store. The next afflicton is the country peddler who sells things the farmer can do without at about two prices on the bait of "easy pay ments.' No payment is easy or right but a cash payment. Recently a band of ten sleek, well fed peddlers landed at county seat town in Ar kansas, hired team and a buggy and driver and struck for the farm homes to sell a $30 stove for $84 on three years time. The company was unknown to the farmers and yet in less than week over sixty farmers had bought stoves at prices way be- yond the price of the best ranges made in America and handled by their local dealers, where they could have had two guarantees, that of the company and the local man. The farmer with the cash or without the cash is far safer with a local mer- chant than with pedders. Swat the peddler.-Better Farming Hints, by Dean J. H. Miller.

OFFICIAL STANDARDS
 OF COTTON DESCRIBED
U. S. DEPARTMENT ISSUES BULLETIN ON METHODS OF
 GRADING STAPLE.

Washington, Feb. 11.-An illus strated description of the work of preparing the official cotton standards of the United States has been issued by the department of agriculture. These standards were promulgated by the secretary of agriculture in De- cember, 1914, in accordance with the provisions of the cotton futures act and were well received by the trade. Practically every important cotton exchange and spot market of the south has adopted them as well as most of the largest cotton mills and factories. During the first year after their promulgation 570 full sets and 55 fractional sets were shipped by the department in this and foreign coun- tries.
 The original set is placed in a small safe and stored in one of the vaults fthe United States treasury, while other sets are stored in vacuum in order to preserve their characteris- tics of color and leaf This method of storage is described and illustrated in sehvice and regulatory announce ment number 6 of the office of mar kets and rural organization, which also gives full, illustrated descrip- tion of the cotton grading room of the department and of the equipment and processes used in making up practical forms of the official cotton standards.

To this union was born three children, as fol- lows: Mrs. Lucy Langston, Mrs. Liz zie Harvey and Mrs. Belle Brannon. At the age of 16 she professed faith in Christ, united with the Baptist church, and until her death she was a devout and consistent Christian.

 She was conscious until the last and talked freely and joyfully of her heavenly home. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from hence forth, yea, saith the Spirit, they rest from labors and their works do fol- low them.
