SPEED KINGS WILL RACE

Automobile racing has taken such hold on the American public that ''The King of Sports" has become d regular feature of the large state fairs and is proving decidedly the best drawing card from a sport standpoint
 Alex Sloan, the premier promoter of auto races on dirt tracks, has con- tracted with the Tri-State Fair to handle this feature of the fair. Mr. Sloan is in touch with, and has the confidence of more sensational driv- CTS than any other man in America and is busy booking the entry of some real stars for the auto raess, which will be held on tha last day of the fair, Saturday, Sept. %.
 Art Klein, one of the iiiols of ttie big speedways, who deserted the dust less ovals this year for taA dirt track racing, along with Barney Oldfield and Rslph DePalma, was thu first big speed pilot to send in. his entry, and ip securing this entry, Mir Sloan has made ten strike, as Klein is one of the most spectacular drivers in the racing game today. One of Kleins most remarkable feats, and one which stands without parallel in the racing game, was his performance at the opening of the CinGinnati speed day, when he finished two cars in one event Klein first finished a Crawford in fifth place, then taking a Kleinart, which was being piloted by Otto Haibe, who had tainted at the wheel he finished the molant in seventh place. thus getting Into the money twice in one race

 Wednesday afternoon to attend the Wheat Growing Meeting at the City Hall. Farrar is clever capable young man and Monroe county is most fortunate to have him.
 Speaking of growing wheat I understand from the new County Farm Demonstration Agent that June Davidson, the all round farmer of the south end, who is now advertising seed wheat for sale in the ARGUS, made 800 bushels of fine wheat off of 60 acres. He had sown lespedeza with the wheat last fall and the lespedeza hay off of the 60 acres will foot up 100 tons. Now if that's the real figures, the les pedeza hay being worth $25. .00 per ton and wheat $500 per bushel, the income on the 60 acres of land for the year, fcots up around the S4, 900 mark and Pm wondering if there is another SO acres of land in Monroe coun- ty that will excell Farmer David sons, If you know of any, tell us about 1t.
 J. M. Morris, one of the pro- gressive farmers living south of Keevil in the Pea Ridge commu- nity, was in Brinkley with his family in their Overland motor car Tuesday.

HIGH LIFE and LUXURIES
TO PAY SHARE WAR TAX

Internal revenue collector, Milton

admission fee is charged, the pro-
posed tax is one cent on each ten
cents or fraction thereof of such 20
per cent of the total charge. If, for
instance, the check handed you by the
waiter is for $500, you will find at
the bottom an additional 10 cents for
war revenue.
