VALUABLE FARM CHARTS

In order TO show the doubling
farmer that other crops, if raised
on Arkansas land, will yield large
returns and be as valuable as
cotton, many interesting charts
are being made at this time un-
der the direction of Dean Martin
Nelson of the College of Agricul-
ture. These charts will be made
up into sets and distributed
among the speakers who will be
engaged in the campaign. The
charts are 81 X "a inches in size
and the type used is large enough
to be seen at a distance of 100
feet4 4eia=iaesede ethata by -usinq
these charts the speakers en-
gagged can show the farmer facts
and figures which will prove to
him the necessity OF Arkansas
feeding herself, if we are to be
most prosperous. The business
men of the state who have seen
these charts have already said
many complimentary things con
cerning them. The following
chart, which shows what the av-
erage man can do with five acres
of land properly cultivated with
the right kind of crops is a good
example of the charts being made
at this time and is worth study.

FARMERS, BEWARE
OF SNEAK THIEVES
OeplsdatIons Have Been M,ds
By Gang Using Autoes.

Complaints are being made of a
gang Of sneak thieves operating in
the country district northwest Of the
city. They OPERATE in broad daylight
and evidently use an auto. and look
for places at which there is no one at
home. At the Alvig home on Sun
day, June II, they helped themselves
to a lot of provisions. meat, butter,
case Of eggs, etc. At Nordin's place
they took 200 pounds of meat from
the smoke house, and other articles
When Mrs. Holmgren of Mamre came
home with a lot of visitors from the
church meeting recently she found
that her larder had been robbed of all
the edibles which she had prepared.
Several instances are told of myster-
ious auto parties driving up to places,
and on finding someone at home they
made inquiries about people never
heard Of in the community. In one
case they asked to fill jug with wat
er, and when shown the well, went on
without bothering about the water
asked for. This gang should be run
down, and II parties who secure any
clues will promptly notify the auth
critics, they will soon be apprehended.
The high prices of provisions tempt
these sneak thieves to work. Chicken

quite common before, but they are now

Paw Of Bank Prosidonta.

John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, in an official report
says the national banks with a capital
Of 100000 or more pay their presi-
dents an average salary of $44, 400 q
year, while the presidents of national
banks with capital Of $4,000 or less
receive on the average a salary Of
only $1,O08 year.
There are 1873 national banks. Most
of them have a capitalization of less
than $4,000. It may be soothing to
the twenty dollar a week clerk to know
that so many bank presidents get an
average of only $19.38 a week, yet
there is no pronounced movement on
the part of bank presidents to retire
from Office and enter the field of clerk
dom. Possibly the poor bank prest
dent finds ways of adding to his mod
est salary. If he does not he must
find it hard to keep up appearances in
these days Of high costs of living.-New

What the pson Likes.

The peon of southern Mexico has Va
rious appetizers that are unknown to
the poems, of the north. One OF the
queerest is water wheat" which is not
exactly what its name suggests, but
the eggs Of kind of fly. The "water
wheat" fields are ponds In which the
peon places bundles Of reeds a few feet
apart so that their tops are just above
the surface. On these reeds, or rushes,
the insects deposit their eggs in 1ncred
ible numbers. The peon then removes
the PUSHES and shakes of the crop.
The Mexicans make the eggs, which
resemble fine fish roe, into small cakes
and sell them in the markets. The pw-
chasers eat them either as we eat
cheese or mixed with cornmeal and the
eggs of fowls. The poems also eat the
insects, which are about the size of our
houseflies. Their method Of preparing
them is to pound quantity of the flies
into a paste and boil them with corn
husks.
