RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di.
rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at.
mosphere with inspiration and power,
aud innocent amusements instruct
md brighten their lives.
TO hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around 1t and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The farmer gets more out Of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let US take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at a few Of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion% with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress or
the mental giants in mechanical SCI
ence Of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron aud steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch Of
progress that will illuminate the pat"-
way of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave US the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length.
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the

They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in.

Co.'S Recent Contest.
"WaSiINCTCN'S iNAUGURkTICN.'
Rv FISVT MAGEE.

After the Revolutionary war
the nation was sadly ia Urel Of
constitutional! laws ~ bind them
together. So on September Is,
IT'S il resolution was passed
stating that Oh the first Wednes-
day in January 1889 congress
would hold a meeting sr all the
electors Of ahe states that had
ratified the constitution. The
first "Wednesday in March would
be set aside Tor the inauguration
Of the new government.
On April 9Th the senate elected
John Lanydon fer tie purpose Of
opening and Ct uniting the votes
for president of the United State,
Washington receiving the most
was declared president. Thi,
was due to the fact that everyone
loved him.
On receiving notification Of his
election he left Mount Nernor
for New York where the inauGu-
ration was to take place. On his
journey, people thronged the
roads and shouted his praises,
aud he was banqueted in many
of the cities lie passed through.
When he reached New York,
his arrival was announced by the
booming of cannons and the ring
ing Of bells. AS the people
caught chances of his beloved fig
ure shouts arose aud hats went
off and the crowd bowed as he
went by.
The inauguration was to take
place in the Federal Hall, which
was very badly dilapidated but
was extensively repaired for this
event.
This important event &C Cured
April 80, 1859. Washington went
in procession to the Hall where
he was received in the senate
chamber. Then followed by con-
gress he proceeded to the balcony
where he was to take the oath ad-
ministrated by Robert Livingston,
chancellor of New York. When
Washington appeared in the bal.
cony there was a prolonged cheer
ing from the great asse;nblage for
which he thanked them with
graceful bows. He seemed some
what embarrassed at first but
soon overcame this. He was
dressed in a dark brown suit of
homespun cloth, His white silk
stockings and plain shoe buckles
were American made. His hair
was powdered and dressed in the
latest fashion.
Secretary Otis held a cushion
before him on which rested the
Bible. Washington repeated the
oath as was prescribed by the
constitution, then bowed his head
and kissed the holy book and ut.
tered these sacred words: $50
help me God" He was then de-
clared president by the chance!-
lor who exclaimed, 'Long live
George Washington"
After the inaugural address
they went to st. Paul's Chapel
where prayers were he'd. The
day closed with bonfires and fire
works, for everyone was happy to
know that the United States was
placed under a central govern
ment whose influence was to eX.
tend to its remotest bounds,

MONDAY MORNING SET
 FOR CRIMINAL CASES
Attorney Generals Office Will GO Into Supreme Court With all Cases Pending-NegrO Among Those Presented.

The Attorney Generals office will go into the Supreme Court on Mon day morning with every criminal case which Is pending there on appeal, ready for submission. In the past week it has been necessary for Hamil- ton Moses, deputy Attorney General, to brief over 25 cases in order to clean up the docket. Seven cases will be submitted on Monday, and all will probably be decided on the following Monday, after which the Supreme Court will recess for the summer months.
 Among the cases to be presented will be that of Oscar Williams. a Pu lasli county negro sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary for manslaughter. Williams was driving an automobile which collided with a party returning from the theater in Little Rock, killing woman. He de- clined to give testimony against his eHlployef, WnO sought to assist hlm in trouble, and after he had been re- moved to the penitentiary and begun the service of his sentence, Judge R. J. Lea recalled the convict and setting aside the sentence, gave him ninety days in solitary confinement for con tempt of court. The attorneys repre- senting the negro claim a judge has no right to set aside a sentence after the man has begun serving it, espec- ially for trial for contempt of court.
 The briefs in Fort Smith whiskey case, and the McCowan murder case from Arkansas county, will also be submitted on Monday.

THE TRACTOR FOR FARM WORK.

Lack of interest in raising horses and mules has been noticeable for several years. As result this coun- try seemed not to have been we'll supplied with teams when the Euro pean war began. The war has made an enormous demand for horses and mules suitable for mounts and draft animals. Prices have been good and the only regret is that farmers did not have more for sale and get great CT benefits.
 Motor trucks have largely taken the place of horses and mules as draft animals for army purposes, neverthe- less animals are still required. Cav airy horses 1t seems cannot well be dispensed with. Since our own army Is to be increased the demand for mounts is likely to be even greater.
 It is fortunate that the tractor has been improved and made adaptable to farm work. With likelihood of greater demand for farm products on account of war tractors will be in greater demand for farm work. The Southwestern Tractor Demonstration to be held near Dallas, July IS to 21, will afford an excellent opportunity for farmers to study tractor blowing, sowing, harvesting, etc, and get ac- quainted with salesmen. It will mean doubtless the beginning of better farming methods in the Southwest Farm and Ranch.

MARKET RISES ON
 SERIES OF RALLIES
Prices Decline on Opening, But Close 3 to 10 Points Up-High Temperatures of Past Week More Favorable.

New York, June 28-The cotton market was still somewhat nervous and unsettled today, but prices show ed tendency to do better after yes terday's active liquidation and an opening decline was followed by ral- lies. October contracts sold up from 1311c to 13.22c and closed at 13.19c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of to 10 points for the day. No further notices were is- sued against July contracts and trad ing in that position was less active. with the price relatively steady on some scattered covering.
 The market opened steady at an advance of ? points to decline of i point. October being higher in sym pathy with relatively steady cables. while later deliveries felt the influence of renewed liquidation. Active months worked about to , points net lower shortly after the call, but prices then steadled on covering and buying for a reaction, which seemed to be inspired by the extent of the recent decline. There was also a moderate demand from trade interests on the advance, which carried active positions about 3 to II points net higher The weekly report of the Weather Bureau empha sized the higher temperatures of the past week was more favorable than expected, however, and served to check the buying movement, with the result that prices eased off but closing prices were within or points of the best on most positions.
 Cotton closed steady.

SHARP DUNAWAY HAS
 NUMBER NEGROES GUESSING

Little Rock, June 29.-Scarred ne- groes, trembling negroes, and negroes who were ashed hue, dragged weary feet toward the old State House on Wednesday morning to see what Un- cle Sam had in store for them. There must have been at least fifty, and all had visions of war, and the fate of the colored heroes of the Tenth cavalry. They waited and they waited for some thing to happen. The hour of ten ar rived and although the negroes had formed little groups, they could not avoid displaying restlessness, for it was the time of day they were or dered to report. Finally the negroes began edging toward the gate and slipping away, probably thinking they Were putting something over upon a government recruiting officer
 sharp Dunaway, who signs his name l.. S,,' was the cause of it all. All day Tuesday Sharp moved about, and when he met one of the gentlemen of leisure, he asked his name, and put tlng 1t on the back of an envelope, re- qlested his presence at the State House on Wednesday morning, saying ne would then give him cap and a meal ticket and further discuss the proposition of making war on Mexico. Most of the negroes were too scared to think of going to the State House, put some were afraid not to. But sharp will never know the difference, Tor he was not in the city at 10 a. m. on Wednesday.
