calculators have it figured out that
the population of continental United
States is 102,S26,309 That seems to
be so much more exact and positive
than though they had put it at 1922
100000 or even 102 $4,000.

"The talk of be -medaling' the Arkansas boys who spent a few uncomfortable weeks loahng along the border, is unwise, as we'll as maudlin. They are not heroes-yet. and the money re auired to fatter their vanity with a cheap medal, would be better expended were it added to the fund payable to the old boys who saw real service and know what war really is. Be- sides, the giving of decorations on such slight proyoeation, tends to cheapen the practice, and render the token less val uable in the eyes of the recipient, and less sought after when sig nal service Is required. .

Arkansas Steers at $9.90.

J. r. Taylor, successful stockman of Craighead county, Ark, was on the market to-day. His offering included 19 head of steers which averaged 1137 lbs and brought s9.90 per cwt., 8 price that was highly pleasing to to MT Taylor. These steers were cross between good shorthorn bulls and native Arkansas COWS. On August 1st last they were put on feed of corn, and on Deceml Der Sth silage and cottonseed meal was substituted for corn. Mir. Taylor is an experienced feeder, and the results from this consignment add further laurels to his achievements of former years. Two big silos constitute an important factor in his feed ing equipment. He raises all the corn used in the condition. ing of his stock for market, and is now disposing of his supply of this grain at good price.

Planting Time.

This Is the season of the ye ar for the farmer to put minis crops. What is he going to plant? Will 1t be, princlpally, cotton-some- thing that the world needs, but, under extreme circumstancs and conditions, can do without, or will he adopt a more sensible view and grow what the world needs and must have? The whole world is engaged in war and de struction, instead of peace and upbuilding, and must be fed.
 Therefore, it must be plain to every intelligent farmer that if he grows food supply beyond his actual .home-needs, he will find a ready sale for 1t at the highest possible prices, and, in this way, he is absolutely certain to get ready cash for what he grows; while, if he raises cotton as his dependence for home-liv- ing and his money crop, he is venturing into the realms of speculation, and may hit or miss. To say the least, to put one's main chance, in cotton, at this time, is a dangerous and foolish venture. Cotton may bring a high price next Fall, or it may be a drag on the market; but bread and meat is always, and always will be, in demand.
 People must be fed. Make no mistake, this year, and when you go to planting your fields be sure to plant grain enough to serve your needs, and little more for your foolish neighbor, whose sole glory is in cotton.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL C0N.
 CONVENTION.

Now. that 1t Is fixed fact that Arkansas IS to have a Con- stitutional Convention, which IS to convene next November and the members of which are to be elected in June. 1t becomes neces- sary for the people of Drew Co. to do a little thinking and mis- sionary work.
 1t seems to be the aim of most counties to select their ablest men as delegates to this import ant convocatioa, and one thing IS certain, that Drew county, one of the leading counties in the state, in education, morals, and resources, cannot afford to send a Cheap John" to assist in the making of the organic law of the land--a fundamental that should withstand the storm of legisla- ton, and meet the demands of the country for forty years to come.
 The Monticellonian, which has ever stood for what 1t conceived best for Drew county, wants to insist, now, that a full-grown man be selected, from our coun- ty, for this important job; for to adopt the language of one of our greatest statesmen, this Is a grown mans job. We have no pet man for the place, and are only interested in seeing Drew county represented by a delegate of educational, moral and legal fitness to cope with the best from any section Of the state. Among the men, in Drew county, who are eligible, at this time, we have several, either of who m, would credit ably represent the county, and safe guard the interests of the people. against the aggrandize- ment of special interests which will likely bob up in the Conven. tion, and one of these, or men of like character, should be pre- vailed upon to accept the place These are Judge ]. C. William son. Judge H W. Wells. Judge ]. 0. Knox, Pat Henry, Esq, Jos. Harris, Esq, and Hon. K. W. Wilson. Either of these gentle men would make creditable delegate. There may be others, but according to our judgment. they do not go in droves. We have no disposition, whatever, to dictate to the people whom they should choose, but our sug- gestions are made for what we deem of great moment to our section. The people of other parts of the state are calling out their able men, and why not our people do so. Select the man. This Is what should be done.

Both Tillar and Winchester have been reaching out, through Legislative enactment, for the erection of Good Roads leading from the hill country to their places. This is wise move on their part, as 1t will insure them good lot of trade which hereto fore they have not had; but in the meantime what is it going to do for Monticello? No one, of course, can blame the enter prising people of Winchester and Tillar for reaching out for the hill country trade, for it is valuable, but Monticello, in order to hold it's own, must find a way to provide road for the farmers, of our Eastern terri tory to reach this city as easily as they can the bottom towns, else goodbye to the trade which has hitherto come to this city from sixteen to eighteen miles east and northeast of here. Good roads to one market place and bad ones to another means that the traffic is going to the place where it can reach the more easily.
