LAND OWNERS MEETING

A petition for the formation of a fencing district of Harrison Township was circulated on the streets of Judsonia last Saturday which surprised the majority of the land owners of the district. except those who were in the in- side ring.
 The majority of the property owners did not understand what the idea of the scLeme was. Why did the instigators of the scheme not call a public meeting of the real estate owners of the propos- ed fencing district to find out the sentiment of the iand owners and if it was the desire of the majority then go ahead with the petition?
 The way it looks now, only some special interest will be ben efited by the scheme. Therefore

GoI IT'S HOT

When a total stranger greets you
 with a disapproving sheer And remarks that for a nickle he
 will bite you on the ear. Don't take up with his proposal
 nor return his savage stare, Take a trolley or a taxi and de-
 part away from there. For in his uncouth demeanor you
 can very clearly see
 That the weather's getting hotter than it really ought to, be. When dear old Aunt Maria says,
 last evening, after dark, She was bitten on the elbow by a
 hammer-headed shark. Don't dispute her story, but re- ply, Yes, yes! No doubtp' And as soon as it's convenient make excuses and go out. And before you tell the neighbors
 the old lady has gone mad, Just remember that the weather
 is the hottest we have had. When you hear fat policeman
 say he's spent a pleasant hour In instructing his pet grampus to
 jump off a lofty tower, Don'task to see the creature that
 performed this flashing feat, Butnod your head engagingly and
 walk off down the street, For this curious narrative ought
 to furnish you with proof That the weather's fried the lin ing of the fat policeman s roof.

THE PROPOSED
 FENCING DISTRICT

The proposed stock law and fencing district has caused con siderable agitation this past week.
 The cost of the proposed dist rict has been estimated at $8, 900.
 The law provides for raising funds for a district by a direct tax never to exceed l per cent in any one year. To form district tWo-thirds of the land owners liv ing within district are required to sign a petition for same. If the required tWo-thirds is obtain ed the county court authorizes the district and appoints three commissioners who shall serve ab solutely without pay. The con- missioners estimate the cost of fencing and let the contract. They meet once a year thereaf- ter and estimate the cost of main taining the fence which is placed against the land by the court.
 If your 40 acres was assessed at $500 and the full l per cent was needed it would cost you for building the fence, $5: and each year thereafter a small tax for maintaining same. If the full 1 per cent was not needed the tax would be less but it can never be higher.
 Gates must be maintained only where fence c 0 eees a pubic high way and where the river is deep enough to prevent cattle from eros sing no fence is needed. 7
 Slch district puts the care of stock where it belongs on the owner. The fences needed within district would be only for the care of your own stock and not to prevent some one else stock foraging on your fields. The tax would not amount to as much as is now paid each year for repair ing fences. As this question par ticularly concerns the farmers the people in town will doubtless cooperate with them if they de- sire the district.

SAFETY FIRST FOR
 THE COTTON CROP
Arkansas Building Fire Resistive, Modern
 Congresses.

This years cotton crop in Ar kansas will receive better protec- tion as to fire hazards than any preceding crop. Quite a remark able record is being made in the state in the building of modern, fire-resistive improvements in cotton congresses and Warehous- es. Nearly quarter million dol- lars is now being invested, or has been contracted for during the past three months for such improvements, says the Southern Construction news of LittleRock.
 These figures are from the rec ords of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, which is passing on the plans and specifications for the improvements without cost to the owners of the improvements.
 That this character of improve ments has a far reaching effect is evidenced by the fact that it results III a great saving to all who are interested in the cotton business, extending back even to the growers, who may desire to store their cotton for higher pri-. ces. This saving is effected by virtue of the fact that the great CT protection afforded by the inn provements Will reduce the fire insurance rate very materially and enable the small farmer to hold his cotton at considerably less expense. It may not be gen eraHy known but the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, which is an in- stitution authorized by the Ar kansas Legislature, does all that it can to cut down the fire hazard and while it's principal activities are in connection with the meas urement of fire hazards, as .af- fecting insurance rates, it con- stantly spreads the gospel of fire prevention and maintains a astaff of engineers and experts, whose experience, advice and services are at the disposal of the general pnblic without any cost Whatev- Ter.

According to w. c.
