Farmers's Institute
 Pronounced a Success

The Farmers Institute held here Monday was we'll attended by our farmers, and while owing to the ex- tremely hot, dry weather, the crowd was not as large as it might have been under more favorable conditions.
 Those who were present were here for what they could get out of the meeting and gave close attention to the speaking, asking many questions.
 MT. Greer, county agent, opened the meeting with talk on general condi- tions. Earl Fitzpatrick made a short talk on forage crops.
 In the afternoon the band drew the crowd together by the rendition of sev- eral splendid selections of band music. Andy Cox made splendid talk on steps in roadmaking, urging organization and cooperation along the line of road improvement. R. H. Mason, dairy spe- cialist, gave very able talk m farm dairy problems and showed the point in judging dairy COW.
 Miss Thursby, of the extension force, college of agriculture and department of agriculture. made very fine talk along general lines, showing how our health was injured and many deaths caused, especially among babies, by improper diet. She especially laid stress on the indiscriminate use of patent medicines urged that our rural schools have more hygiene and health teaching. Her talk was espe- cially appreciated by the audience, as was attested by the applause given her.
 MT. Kilpatr1ck, agronomst in the extension forces, gave a fine talk on pasture grasses in Northern Arkansas. Great interest was shown in this topic, many questions being asked.
 T. M Buell. was called on and made one of the most interesting talks made, to the farmers to get to- gether oftener in meetings of this kind. MT. Buell. told Of some eff his farm eX- perences; how last year he made at farm prices for hay, $115.C0 per acre on plot he had in alfalfa. He also spoke of how the dairy COW has helped him build his farm in fertility. He also spoke of Bddy and what help she was. His talk was very helpful and was ap- preciated by all present.
 Some changes had to be made in the program at the last moment, but from ] point of real, live interest this meet ng was much better than the one of ast year, and we hope to see some 'eal, live action come from it.
 J. c. Stafford, chairman and the oth- r members of the local committee, deserve credit for their part l the days work, and we hope to see nany other meetings of this kind in reen Forest.

Now's the Time to Beware of Fire

A warning against midsummer fires which easily develop into contlagrations, is issued by the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau. Attention is called to little causes of big fires by J. s. Speed, man. ager, at time when long periods of hot, dry weather make wooden build- ings and shingle roofs highly inhamma- ble. Most fires could have been pre- vented by little forethought and care entirely out of proportion to the loss and trouble resulting from the lack of It, says the warning. "Instead of trusting to your luck, take the attitude that your place will be the next to catch fire-and then take steps to see that 1t doesn't. Ordinary matches, greasy rags and gasoline, when not handy with intelligent care, trash ac- cumulations and old or faulty electric wires, will sooner or later make trouble. 1t Is impossible to list here all the com mon causes of fires which must be guarded against, but any thoughtful man can protect himself, his business and his family, by devoting a few min utes each week or each month, to a personal inspection of his premises. Incidentally, he should keep watchful eye on his neighbor's. ''

A. and every one employ ed on this road is his friend MT. Will Hams is a great joker, and some of his jokes have led to almost serious trouble. While he loves to joke, and have his fun, he is game" when jokes are played on him, and he has to endure many that has got him into trouble a number of times. MT. Williams says that young lady at Kensett became very Ill, and, believing that in a multi tude of counsel there was much wis dom, called in several of the doctors who are now visitors in our city, Dr. J. E. Phillips, included. The doctor pronounced her case heart trouble and left several black pills to take. The young lady ankles began to swell and she was forced to cut the buttons off her shoes. On her recovery much credit Was given the doctors, but on investi- gation it was found she had been taking the buttons instead of the pills. Mir. Williams says the above is the truth and that his wife will vouch for it as the young lady is friend of hers.

Last Friday evening thirty boys and girls started to the home of Harris and Cecil McDon aids for some fun. The boys were the band boys, and on the way they let the people know who they were. When they arrived, they found that everything had been made ready for them.

 At very late hour they departed. Knowing that they had enjoyed very happy time, and wishing that their friends would soon give another party that would afford them as much fun as this one.
