 Did you ever know of a boy who didn't like to dig a cave? Darwin says that the disposition of boys to throw rocks and things was in herited from our monkey ances- tors. who had the habit of hurling cocoanuts at one another. But be that as 1t may. the mate tendency Of our bpNs to dig caves is a prim- alive instinct handed down by our cave dwelling forebears. Last Sun day while visiting at the home of N. Q. Allen this scribe inspected a model cave that had been dug by Ira Allen and Fay Keeton. in the banks of Buffalo. It has a fireplace and is tlttad up as cosy as sitting room.

FOR AMENDMENT NO. l2?


 Hatfield, Ark. Oct. 2.--At the ag- ricultural meeting here Wednesday of last week. rather small audi ence owing perhaps to the threat ening weather was addressed hy government and state agricultural and demonstration agents. To many it showed the folly of working oil these steFeotyped speeches. In some localities they might apply and be well received. in others as a mechanic would say. 1t would be entirely out of line. For instance at this meeting there was at least one member from probably 35 fam llles, who had canners and were ca ger to get any points that would ap- ply to that industry. Most of them put up from several hundred to ten or eleven thousand cans of rroduce each year When this sneaker sraNely told them that thru demon- stratIon and canning clubs in Seyier county many were putting LID 30 and one woman over 100 cans of n product for winter. and finished this 9ellleilce III gO-tnOu- -and-d0-llke- wlse, tone. within five feet of the speaker sat woman who lid every detail of the work of raising and canning 200 cans of the same pro- Gaet some at first thought the speaker joking The speech went on The talk was timely for some places. Here it was 3 OF 4 years be- hlnd the times.
 The other speaker whose talk was somewhat more general was not lO- callzed enough. The standard he set Tor a nice prosperous little Ar kansas farm was met and surpassed ny nearly every farmer in the town siilp.. These people have too much territory to cover. What we need is some one more acquainted With loral condition, climate, soil. markets ete Tn other words, a live county agent
 Prof. B: w. Torreyson. who han pened. to he present made tho clos Ing address. He is boosting for the amendment giving the people who need It the right to levy a i2-miIl tax TOT school purposes and no one Who heard him had any doubts hui what We need 1t. He is a logical and entertaining speaker

CATTLE DIPPING GOES ON.
Nearly 300 Head at Six Mile Vat and zoo at Hatfield Treated Saturday.

special to The Star
 Hatfield. Oct. 2.-Cattle dipping was the go" Saturday. Nearly 300 head were dipped in the Six-Mile vat east of town. There is no excuse for people with cattle On the range there not having them dipped. as this bunch of live wires announced they would gather the cattle, dip them and turn them back, making only the tritling charge of i0c per head. Cattle dipping was also go- ing on at the vat in town. Out of perhaps 400 dipped Saturday not one was lost or even hurt. The differ ence in those dipped a month ago and those not dipped at all was ap- parent at a glance. Those dipped were in every instance in much bet ter condition Having no ticks feed ing on them they had the advantage over the others, especially as the fall pasture Is getting short.

Already Close to 300 Bales Has Been
 Purchased There.


 Hatfield Ark, Oct. By the time this goes to press close to 800 bales of cotton will be marketed here, aside from what is in the hands of the buyers. Many thousand dollars has already been returned to Hat field for cotton. This has been mostly distributed to the growers, as our buyers purchase on a very Iclose margin. For instance the high mark for Saturday was i6.40. and all thru the season the grower has had the benefit of any little raise. Our buyers are merchants and real ize the needs of the farmer. who in return IS spending his money at home with our merchants as is shown by it being nothing unusual for their sales to reach around Si,000 a day.
 The happy feature of this high price and good season is that most of 1t is clear cash for the farmer Poultry, garden. canning and di- versilied farming and cotton for cash, is the secret. Not only is Hat field a good cotton market, but the buyers make the price so interesting that the farmer could not afford to eat his poultry and eggs, and they come in quantities. Just one mer- chant got S60 worth of eggs in a few hours from the farmers. And smoked meat, tons of it. was bought from the farmers. The top price we heard paid. was l9c, paid to T. P. Davis. whose reputation for curing meat is we'll known Baled pea hay and other produce found ready market Canned goods. the product of several saw mills, ties. slaves. meaning many, many thousands of '0llars are marketed. Cattle sales amounting to over S20.000 brought its share of prosperity here.
