 Why Not More Goats?
 Thousand of acres of hill and in Arkansas are yielding practically nothing. although they could be turn ed, with comparative ease, into some of the greatest pastures Tn the South, If you wish to develop your pasture land. you might find goat raising, at least, a profitable sideline. Goats will eat the scraps or waste plant food found as crop remnants on any farm as well as weeds and foliage of brush. Goats are higher priced than ever before and it seems that there will be little chance of their depre- ciating in value. People are fast com ing to recognize their worth on the average Arkansas upland farm. There is money in this class of live stock. Why not get in on the ground floor?
 Protect Your Family From The
 Malaria Mosquito.
 Don't ge so busy witht he farm work that you neglect the health of the family. Last year there was one case of malaria for every five people in Arkansas and a great number of deaths. If these folks had died on the battle field, their deaths would have attracted considerable attention but, because they disappeared one at a time and without any commotlon, the fact has left little impression up on us. We must not forget that mal- aria is as deadly an enemy to Arkan- sas people as anything we have to contend with. Yet the tragedy of 1t all is that we could avoid this misery. People need only to realize that pre- caution is cheaper than medicine. Every house should be screened tight ly. andwhat ever possible all the ditches and pools should be drained or some kind of oil should be placed upon the surface of the water which pre- vents the breeding of mosquitoes. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas will send upon request an interesting bulletin on malaria. This bulletin has in it many interesting photographs and tells just how the malaria mosquito breds and lives and gives some practical suggestions con corning it's elimination. Write for 1t today.

 Trade at Home.
 Keep the Arkansas Dollar in Ar kansas is a pretty good motto, and the practice should be followed more closely by our people. Too much money leaves Arkansas each year that should be spent with the local mer- chants. They will get what you want if they haven't it. They are in the business to stay and want to please you. They depend on satisfied cus- toners. If you are pleased with any thing you buy from the local mer- chants. tell every body you see; but | if you should not happen to be pleas ed, be a real town booster and tell the merchant. He will be glad to make it right.
