STOP EVERY OTHER BLOCK

Let street cars stop at every other
corner and yet grant service to every
corner by the following plan:
Let the city use sign posts of two
colors along car routes. Let us say
that the colors red and blue are used.
Put a blue post on one corner and
red post at the next street crossing,
a blue at the next and so on the
length of the street. Run two sets of
cars on this street with the red and
blue signposts. Let cars carrying
blue signs stop at corners where blue
posts stand and cars carrying red
signs at corners where there are red
posts. Of course, all cars are to stop
at transfer points. This plan would
shorten the running time by nearly
half without mountaineering patrons

TROUSSEAU IN POLITICS.-Iti is
a disagreeable task for anybody to
criticize his fellow man, but it cannot
be denied that criticism opens the
channels of thought and therefore is
educating and lettering mankind.

Lincoln; to you, representative of the

touches every heart except the
hearts of these bloodsuckers. What
did you do to prove that you are hon

mankind? In the winter of 1914 mil
lions were out of work; the suffering
was great. A few months before
congress voted $5O,OOO,OOO for a
fruitless, senseless Mexican cam
paign. Did you go before that body
and ask for a few millions to help
these unemployed sufferers?
When Rockefeller's armed men
killed many women and children, did
you send a strong note of protest to

Strawberries should bring Arkan-
sas farmers S750,OO0 this year" says
w. II. Wicks, professor of horticulture
at the College of Agriculture OF the
University of Arkansas. More than
thousand acres are devoted to straw
berries in White, Crawford, Wash
ington and Benton counties. During
the 1915 season the Ozark region
yielded $50 cars of berries. The latest
government survey shows that l4,533
cars of strawberries were handled
commercially in the United States,
making a total OF 5,S2l, 200 crates or
berries distributed in the markets of
the country. During the shipping
season the berries are worth 81 per
crate as a average, and the value OF
the strawberry business over the
country is 1,642, 400.
More of this wealth should be
brought to Arkansas. The strawberry
is one of the most dependable fruit
crops that can be grown in this state.
1t brings cash to the grower in early
summer and distributes it among pick
ers and merchants.
1T is estimated that 5000 pickers
will be required to harvest the record
strawberry yield at Alma and vicinity
this year The crop will range from
$50 to 200 cars, and as an average
of 400 crates are placed in each car,
the district will ship about $4,000
crates. Estimated at $l.75 per crate
for the grower, the strawberry busi-
ness will bring to Alma and vicinity
S1O5,OOO.
THE state average curing the past
years is $500 net per acre. This is at
the raue of 100 crates to the acre, at q
net price to the grower of 81 per
crate.
THE average market price received
for berries in the United States is 81
per crate and Arkansas farmers can
increase their profit greatly when
they realize more fully the advantages
of better cultivation, building up the
soil by rotation of crops and use Of
fertilizers, selection of plants of hign
producing qualities, pangrading at the
packing shed, loading cars of one va
riety, using the American ventilated
24-quart crate and standardizing the
product by an honest pack. In 1914
H. E. Clark of Decatur, Ark, on old
land picked 20112 crates, which sold
through the Ozark Fruit Growers AS
sociation for S401.50
"To preserve the strawberry planta-
tion and increase the yield, close at
tention to cultivation, renewing the
plants, spraying and preparation OF
new land for new paintings must be
watched carefully by the grower"

Recently pr. r. NJ. Cow, state yete

Recently DR.. r. NJ. Cow, state vete
rinarian, said that Arkansas can pro-
duce cattle that are Just as good as
any in the world II the farmers Of the
state will get rid Of the cattle tick.
He cited the cases OF Fred Gibson
Of Stuttgart and G, II. Hit Of Clay
county, both Of whom recently sold
cattle on the St Louis market for top
prices.
Further proof OF the truth OF DR..
Cows assertion is contained in the
issue OF the Daily Drover's Telegram,
live stock trade paper published at
Kansas City, Mo This issue contains
the following item:
Burt Pearce Of Bentonville, Ark,
was greatly surprised when he mar
keted fed steers of the plain kind at
SS, which, so far as known, is the
highest price ever paid for cattle from
that state. While there has been
great improvement in the cattle raised
in Arkansas in recent years. they are
