THE HOME MARKET.

Many of Harrison's housewives
complain that right in the midst of
the most plentiful season we have
ever known it is often quite difficult
for them to purchase the most COM
mon products of the farm and garden
one lady says she has been unable to
get sweet corn and another found the
same condition at times as to beans
and even potatoes.
Harrison should have a home mark.
ct place for every single product of
the farm, large or small. 1t should
be a place where the farmer can dis.
pose of his produce at market prices
and for spot cash, without the trouble
of waiting incident to shipping to out.
side points. When this is done much
OF the farmers money that goes out
Of town now will in future be spent
right at home, with our home business
men, This world does not recognize
the policy Of something for nothing"
hence if we want the farmer to help
us we must be equally willing to
help him.

INTEREST OF BETTER FARMING.
Implement Demonstration to Be Con
Quoted at Harrison, Saturday,
September Is.

The Retail Hardware and Imple-
ment Association of the State. is in
the midst of a campaign to encourage
better farming in Arkansas and es-
pecial attention at this time is being
devoted to the sowing OF fall grain.
A seed bed demonstration will be held
in Harrison on Saturday, September
Is. All implements necessary to the
proper preparation Of the land and the
sowing OF the grain, will be demon.
strated by implement experts. Also
experts on the preparation of the soil
for seeding purposes will be on hand
to explain to the farmers from a sci
entific standpoint the method of prep
aration.
1t is especially urged that every far
mer in Boone county be present on
this occasion, as valuable information
can be obtained which will be of ma
terial assistance to him in the prepa.
ration of his land.
This work is being encouraged and
emphasized by the Government in an
effort to get the people of Arkansas
to produce their own food products.
The Government has placed the price
of wheat for 1917 at $21S per bushel,
which makes it attractive to SOW
wheat. The time is now ripe for the
farmers to manifest a deep interest
in this proposition and since they will
have an opportunity to see a practical
demonstration of improved modern
implements it is to be hoped that none
will fail to attend Plows necessary
for the preparation of the soil, har-
rows, rollers and drills will be shown
and demonstrated.

VACClNATE AT ONCE.

In these strenuous times when men
who claim to be courageous are cash
ing in their courage in the service Of
their country, and everyone is suppos-
ed to be ready to sacrifice themselves
in the interest Of the common good,
it is sad to see men who should know
better and think better wasting their
energies in fretful opposition to the
regulations Of the State Board Of
Health concerning the vaccination Of
school children.
Those in authority and those with
extended experience have decided that
the welfare of the country demands
this precauton for the health and pro.
lection of all, and every good citizen
should be cheerfully willing to obey
the mandate, whether exactly in ac.
cord with his personal opinion or not,

Twentieth Century Christian Church
to be Organized in Harrison
by ]. Sam Jones.

Editor Times:
am preparing to launch a new reli-

The doctrines and teachings of this
