BRILLIANT MEETING
 OF THE A. Q. U. ".
BIG CLASS INITIATED, OFFICERS OF EIGHT LODGES INSTALLED, AND RECEPTION TO PU5-
 LlC OFFICERS.

The year 1916 was the greatest in the history of the Arkansas Jurisdic- ton of the Ancient Order of United Worlmen, but the year 1917 promises to be even better. Nearly four million dollars in new business was written in 1916, but in 1917 1t is hoped that the figure will reach five million.
 The year had a most suspicious opening on Friday night. January 5, with the initiation of the Davis. Harper class of seventy-ive at the Hotel Ma rfon, named in honor of John M. Da- wis, State Bank Commissioners master workman of West End Lodge, and Clio Harper, master workman Of Capitol Lodge This class had been secured in little more than two weeks work, NIT. Davis being assisted by commit tee of bankers assisted by District Deputy C. w Beall. and MT Harper by committee Of newspaper men and District Deputy Don L. Cross.
 There were several hundred mem- bers of the Order, men and women, present at the meeting held in the convention hall of the Hotel Marion, making 1t probably the most brilliant fraternal event ever witnessed in the state. The class was obligated at the altar, the greater part of the fraternal work being omitted on account of the length of the program The obligation was administered by T. L. Meredith, past master workman of West End Lodge, and the stations during this part oftheceremony were filled by the fol- lowing: H. L. Cross, Past Grand Master Workman; Jno. k Frazer, Grand Mas ter Workman: A. B. Smith of Pine Bluff, Grand Foreman; C. c. Kava- naugh, Grand Overseer; H. S. Turner. Grand Guide; A. Dudek, Grand Inside Watchman; c. H. Monk, Grand Out side Watchman; Clio Harper Grand Recorder.
 gold watch was presented by Grand Master Workman. Frazer to Representative c. B. Andrews. of Prescott, in recognition of his work during the year as Master Workman of the Prescott Lodge No. 69 in in- creasing it's membership to 100
 An impressive ceremony was the in- stallation by Grand Master Workman Frazer of the officers of eight lodges as follows:
 West End Lodge No. 13, Little Rock Past master workman, T. l.. Mere dith; master workman, Jno. M. Davis: foreman, J H. Cordial; overseer, T. E. Hale; recorder-fnancier, Chas Mc- Mutt; treasurer, Owen O'Kelley; guide, Alex. Chapple; inside watch man, Tom Tackett; outside watch man, E. R. Parr.

MT. Auten said the use of better cows and great CT knowledge of the feeds and CO., operation between residents of Little Rock and other cities are essential to the development of the industry.
 E. ]. Bodman, chairman of the Ar kansas Profitable Farming Bureau, said the subject is vital to the resi- dents of Little Rock, as well as to the dairymen, and that the business men and others realized that if Little Rock is to develop as city. the producers in the farming territory around 1t must prosper He said the banks of the city would help the honest, capa- ble dairymen and finance the pur- chase of better cows He invited the dairymen to take advantage of the Farm Bureau of the Board of Com merce, and assured them of the CO operation of that bureau.
 L. A. Miller, president of the Pu- laski Dairymen's- Association, epress- ed appreciation of this assistance be- ing soffered, and said the dairymen feel the need of organization and the aid of the business men.
 c. O. Carpenter, agriculturist of the Profitable Farming Bureau, outlined plans for the investigation of condi- tions affecting the dairy industry in central Arkansas. The meeting ap- proved of this investigation, which, it is hoped, will be conducted by repre- sentatives of the University of Ar kansas and the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.
 ''We want to make this associai:on a really state organization-not Lit tie Rock or Pulaski county affair, said NIT. uten. For this reason we are anxious to secure the attendance Of all dairymen in the state We had a large attendance of about 100 at the first meeting last week, but we hope for nearly doubt that at Thursdays meeting.

With the cost of mules and feed so high. 1 regard the tractor as an econ omy Counting the cost of kerosene from operation at from $1 to $1.20 per day, the feed of six mules alone would cost more. to say nothing of the wages of three men against the one required to operate tractor There is another
