LOGAN COUNTY MEN BUSY
Delegation confers With Leading Bus
mess Men of Little Rock in Effort 10
Raise $4,000 For the Proposed
Extension of Road.

Little Rock
A strong delegation Of business
men from Logan county was in Little
Rock comforting with leading business
men with view Of raising $4,000 for
the extension of the Fort Smith, SUI
biaco & Eastern Railroad from Scran,
ton to Dardanelle. a distance OF 26
miles. If Little Rock business men
raise the amount mentioned by May
20 the extension will be a reality.
This proposition was under consId-
GRAFTON in 1913, but failure to obtain
the necessary bonuses defeated the
extension. The company proposes to
build the extension within IS months
from April l, 1915, from Scranton to
connection with the Rock Island at
Dardanelle, giving Little Rock a d.
rect connection with Subiaco and
others points in that section Of the
state.
In other words 1t will give the ter
ritory to be served a direct easterIy
outlet to Little Rock and Little Rock
a direct entrance by rail to that new
territory. The proposed extension will
give Scranton, Subiaco and Paris, now
served by this road, and Ratcliff,
Branch, Charleston and Lavaca, now
h,y vi
rect rail service to Little Rock and
Little Rock direct rail entrance to
them, whereas all rail service between
Little Rock and these towns at pres
ent is via Fort Smith,
The difference in mileage between
Little Rock and the places named will
be lessened as follows: Little Rock
to Lavaca, "a miles; Charleston, A
miles; Branch, "a miles; Ratcliffe, GA
miles; Paris, so miles; Subiaco, 81
miles; Scranton, 1913 miles.
The ability Of the company to
finance the extension depends upon
donations equivalent to $4,000 being
raised. Those willing to finance the
proposition demand that margin OF
safety in the proposed loan. Citizens
Of Lavaca, Charleston, Branch, Rat
cliff, Paris, Subiaco, Scranton and the
territory between Dardanelle and
Scranton and the citizens Of Darda-
nellie have raised more than $4,000.

MEAL-TiME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps 1t is some rich dessert
but more often 1t is tea or coffee.
II is better to have some delicious,
bot food.drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that 1t will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.

"My husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum

has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.

There is every reason TO believe

weeyil year." says George G. Becker,
OF the Entomology Department Of the
College of Agriculture. The abund.
ance Of rain last summer gave the
weevils ideal conditions for breeding,
and conditions last winter were favor
able for Information. The cotton crop
must be made as early as possible this
year. The bolls must be set and hard
ened before the weevils become nu-
merous, If we are to get crop at all.
Good seed and variety which
does we'll in your locality should be
selected, a medium to small boil is
preferable. Ordinarily gin run seed
is undependable and all seed should
have been tested before now for its VI
gor in termination.
ITO give your good seed its best
chance, prepare the seed bed thorough
ly, break the ground deep and pulver-
ize finely. Under these conditions the
seed will get plenty of moisture, will
terminate quickly, and the feed roots
will have plenty of forage area. Plan
fewer acres to the mule. Intensive
cultivation will be necessary, and the
cotton should be gone over at least
once in 10 days to get the best re-
suits.
with danger from heavy weevil
infestation, good business manage

cotton acreage be limited so that every
farm will produce the feed stuffs and
food supply needed by the families on
that farm"
