~ jessie ROBERTO,

Dear Miss Roberts, hS3e read
your articles with interest, and now
| want some advice for myself.
"Can you tell me anything about
the raising OF Belgian hnres In the
east? And do you think a middle
aged woman could make living at
1t? Out west many women have
made money at IL. but am now In
the east, and l do not know any
thing OF conditions here. ! have
lived several years on farm, how
ever, and I know something of the
poultry business. But there Is so
much detail and hard work connect
ed with that that l want something
easier, as I am lame. / shall be
most grateful for any advice or in
formation. Countrywoman."
Send to the Agricultural Bureau in
Washington, ID. c., for the bulletin
on Belgian hares. 1t will probably
help you to decide whether there Is
real opportunity for you in raising
these animals.
So far as the work goes you will
find II easter and pleasanter than
poultry farming. The original out
lay is not large. the animals are
clean and healthy and need little
care.
The great question is your market.
That is something you will have to
decide yourself, and I advise you to
be most careful on that subject.
Find out what chance there Is to
sell the animals In your neighbor-
hood, or what opportunity to estab.
lish a parcel post service. or whcth-
err you can reach a city market with
out too much trouble and expense.
Once you are sure Of being able to
sell YOU can go ahead at the work OF
producing with a clear conscience.
for, experienced as you are with
farm work, there Is no question but
that you can make a success of that
end Of It.

To Dissolve Mercantile Com
 panies In Woodruff Go.

Attorney and former Senator E. M Carl Leeof Augustav asher e Monday on business. He stated that he is having three initiative petitions circulated in this county for the purpose of dissolving all mercantile companies and pro- hibiting the organization of any others in the future.
 Only 65 signers to the petitions are necessary as that number represents eight per cent of the total vote cast for governor in the last general election. Fe secured 36 names to his petiti on at Augusta and sent one petition to E. w. Chaney and one to Jeff Ford, of Tip, who he says will secure the balance necessary to make the total number of 65.
 The gentleman stated that his section of the county was men, aced in the way of free competi- tion in the marketing of farm products in as much as the price was to a great extent controlled by large companies. He also re- ferrek to companies that require the tenant of their lands to trade at their store, gin at their gin and sell the product to their firm.
 There is no doubt but that the number of signers necessary will be secured and that the bill will be submitted to the voters at the next general election in Novem- Der. Should a majority of the people vote for the bill it will be- come a law and will apply to Woodruff County only.

Little Rock, June 12. Mayor Chas. E. Taylor of Little Rock is coming to be recognized by the big politicians as one of the ablest men in public affairs. It is conceded that should he cast his hat in the ring he would stand a good chance of landing any office he might aspire to.

Amendment No. 12 is a mea- sure which people of every poli- tical faith and interest can con- sistently support. Democrats, Republicans, Socialists and Sin gle taxers will alike benefit by it's adoption. It will insure ample educational facilities for children whose parents are unable to send them away to school, and the stimulation of property values will more than offset the nominal increase in the tax rate.

 Marshal J. c. Pulley spent Saturday and Sunday with friends at Wynne. He stated the people there are very much interested in and glad to know that Woodruff County is now try ing to build a good highway across the county to their terri. tory.
 The white people are not the only ones interested in the rock road, Bert McCarroll and John Spain, two of our best colored citizens and who own homes in the district favor the road and state they are willing to have their property taxed to help pay for it.
 N. N. Grandpa" Cain Of Morton states that he would like very much to see the rock road now proposed constructed ana that if it doesn't cost him more than four or five dollars a year on his property located in the proposed district and which IS assessed at $5O0.00, he will vote for it.

It is universally recognized that bankers are conservative and not given to hasty conclu- sions, and this being true, there is much significance in the an- nouncement which comes from authentic sources that the Bank ers' Assoication of Arkansas is emphatically supporting Amend ment No. 12.

One strong argument in favor of the proposed rock road is the fact that the cost will be small on account of the number of switches along the railroad for unloa ding. There is not a tWo-mile haul on the entire road.
