Ten cents is a small price for a meal, and the price seems ridicu- lously low, but this is above the average price paid by the employees of the Southwestern Telephone & Telegraph company at the Little Rock exchange. A cafeteria is maintained in the telephone build ing. The company supplies the rooms, the ranges and furniture also the chef and assistants. Only the actual cost of the food is charged against the employees of the office. Vegetables are sup piled at cost of from l to 5 cents, and meats are served at 5 cents.

STUNTlNG THE FARMER BOY.

Oliver Turn at l2 years was a normal. rugged farm boy, who gave promise of developing into a man of the same stalWart type as his father and grandfather. But Divers father was short of help and as the boy was willing he was put to work. His school terms were cut down to four months a year and the lad began to pride himself that he could make full hand on the farm.
 After five years Divers father was in better circumstances and sent the boy away to school. At once Oliver was dubbed the "runt" by his classmates. Five years of mans work. dragging heavy blows around the corners and eating hasty meals of fat soaked food had stunted him. Oliver is today a fairly we'll to do farmer of 50, but he is still undersized, calloused and stopping as he was at 20. His di- gestion is bad, his teeth are gone and his eyes are none too good. re- marks writer in the Country Gen. tleman.
 This is a case from real life ex- cept that the boys name isn't Oliver which illustrates what pr. Frank Billings meant recently when he said to Chicago physicians:
 "On Americans farms the boy who gains that physique which makes for better, stonger indi- vidual, if he continues to do too hard work with too much depriva- ton of the pleasures of the world eating the food that the poor American farmer usually places upon his table, loses as good as he gained by the time he, is forty years old"
 A country boy has advantages over the city boy. but he can be robbed of those advantages by the short sighted parents.

F. f. Wood Killed.

Floyd E. Wood, who looked after the timber interest of the Union Saw Mill company, met a tragic death near logging camp No. 4 Thursday afternoon. In company with Camp Foreman G. c. Pyle he had been engaged in running land lines and they were preparing to eat their lunch about noon. MT Wood had seated himself on small log and just as Mir. Pyle started to do so he heard noise in the tree above and looking up saw a loose limb thut had lodged there start to fall; he told MT. Wood to look out and jumped from under it. MT. Wood being seated did not succeed in getting up and out of the way and was struck on the head with the limb causing concussion of the brain. He was carried to Spencer, La.. and a special train made up here and rushed to that place to convey him to the hospital at Mon- roe for an operation. where he died at 1000 o'clock Thursday night while on the operating table, having never regained consciousness. His wife and sister-in-law, Miss Luta Ballard were with him when the end came, having gone on the train which carried him to Monroe.

He was very sociable char aeter and all who knew him were his friends and his untimely and tragic death has cast a pail over the community. His loving wife and parents have the heartfelt sym pathy of all in their hour of trial.
 He was an active member of Rowland Lodge, No. 5o4, F. & A. M. and Howard Chapter No. l22, R. A. M. He was also member of the w. o. w. Camp at Covington. Tenn.
