THE LIVESTOCK SALE AND
EXHIBIT AT LITTLE ROCK

DR.. r. NJ Cow, State Veterinarian
with the University OF Arkansas and
Secretary OF the Arkansas Stock
Growers Association, says that the
Livestock Sale and Exhibit to be held
in Little Rock On February 6, 7 and s,
will be the best livestock exhibit ever
put on in the state. Seyenty-fiVe head
of pure bred ShOrthOrns, Angus and
Hereford cattle have already been con
signed and a statewide pure bred pig
contest to be put on among the Boys
Pig Club members Hnder the direc-
ton of II. X. Sanders, is being ar
ranged for.
This will not only be an opportunity
to see pure bred cattle and hogs and
learn more about the different breeds
but it will give every progressive far
mer who recognizes the value Of good
livestock, an opportunity to buy ami
mails of quality at reasonable prices.
The farmers OF the state cannot af
ford to miss the Little Rock Exhibit

HARRlSoN's BOY SCOUT
TROOP Rg-REGISTERS.

The Boy Scout Troop OF Harrison
have just reregistered with the Ma
tional organization and, under the lea,
dership of Scoutmsster Allen Gearn
are preparing for increased activities.
Many Of our people have misunder
stood this movement in the past, and
the membership has been small-Only
fifteen at present-but II is likely that
the organization will grow in the fu-
ture. The principles of the Boy Scout
organization are of the highest order
morally and physically, and parents
should encourage their boys of right
age to become members.
The boy scout pledges himself to
keep physically strong, mentally
awake and morally straight.
If the men who are citizens today
had been boy scouts in their youth and
had learned to keep that promise,
what a difference it would make in
the records of mOrbidity and crime
BY far the greatest cause of all deaths
today, in this country is the failure to
keep that promise-that is, the failure
to conscientiously attend to ones ply
sical health, mental alacrity and moral
reCtitude.

A LOVING TRIBUTE TO
MRS. r. 3. FRANCIS.

Mrs. Mary Francis was born at New
Castle, Pa, March 8, 1886.
She was married in Darlington, Pa,
January /, 1857, to r. b. Francis.
To this union were born one son aud
two daughters, all being present dur
ing their mothers illness and death.
Early in life she gave her heart to God
and united with the NJ f. Church. In
the spring Of 1856 she united with the
Presbyterian Church at Harrison,
where she had lived for over forty
years. 1t was the pleasure OF the
writer 10 know her as a faithful, de-
voted Christian, ever manifesting a
deep, and abiding faith in the ChrLt
Of her early choice
To her husband, family, many
friends and neighbors, she proved 10
them the joy, love and faithfulness In
the home, and the life she professed.
Sister Francis was sick even years,
and during those long years at times
she was able to be about and to heip
with the duties OF the home.
On November %, 1916, at 2:25 p. M.
the end came and this mother in Israel
fell asleep in Jesus.
At her request, a short service was
held at the home on Sunday afternoon
by Revs. Mahr and Whitehead.
The floral offerings, friends and
neighbors gathered, all declared the
loving esteem in which Sister Francis
was held
Weep not loved ones for your com
panion and mother for your loss is her

No words are adequate to express
fitting tribute to our mothers; they
hold a place In our hearts all their
own. All that tender hands and low
ing thoughts could plan was done for
dear Mrs. Francis, all through the long
period of her invalidism and espe-
cially during the week when she was
only waiting till the shadows were
little longer grown" The cOnsciOu-
ness of doing ones duty, lovingly,
cheerfully, patiently, asks no reward,
but could the silent lips have uttered
the mothers thoughts, her well DONE
would have told her devoted children
and grand children OF her apprecia-
ton. Her long life was unusually
peaceful and sheltered; the husband
by whose side she walked for nearly
sixty years, was the sweetheart of her
youth, and few mothers are so fortu-
nate as to spend their lives among
their children and grand children and
be showered with the blessings this
life can offer. To the husband left
behind
May he be given comfort
BY Him who guides Alright.
And wait with loving patience
Till the coming of the night.

Undoubtedly, the big question that
will come before the legislature, as 1t
has been coming before every General
Assembly for years, and will continue
to come until ii is solved, Is that OF
revenue. There are three courses to
be pursued; the tax rate must be
raised, expenditures must be curtsiled
or additional sources Of revenue must
be provided. The aggregate tax rate
cannot be raised under the present
constitution, although 1t might be dif-
serently die ibuted. The state is grow
ing rapidly, more demands ara being
made upon it, and its material welfare
prohibits a radical reduction In eI'
penditures. although rigid economy
is both desirable and an evidence Of
business acumen. No one doubts but
that there is much assessible property
that does not appear on the tax books.
Some will probably suggest a tax
ferret for each county, as Oklahoma
has, and the whole state awaits the
plans that will be submitted by Gov
ernor BrOugh.

1t is an interesting coincidence that,
according to statistics prepared by eX-
perts. Arkansas stands as No.43, In
the list of states, with regard to the
efficiency of both its educational and
its national guard organizations.
These are conditions that have long
been recognized by progressive edu-
Gators and military men who have
been urging legislation that will raise
the state to a position more in keep
ing with the high ideals of its most
progressive citizenship.
There will be much remedial legis.
lation proposed in the coming general
assembly both for the military and the
schools. The adoption Of Amendment
No. u, it is predicted will in a few
years, begin to show its beneficent eff
fects in the school system Of the state,
in longer terms for the country
schools, in better school houses, IN
better pay for better teachers and in
a general raising of the educational
standard. The extension of county
superintendency, county uniformity,
and compulsory attendance is to be
urged, and an effort will be made to
re.instate the state aid to high schools
which was invalidated by the Supreme
Court.
SO far as the military is concerned
the National Guard of Arkansas is con
fronted by a crisis. Unless the people
of the state and the lawmakers rally
to the support of the organization,
there is grave danger Of federal recog
milton being withdrawn, which Will
mean the loss of millions Of dollars
and a coveted prestige.
