The Sunny South
The Arkansas-Texas Country q Pro-
ductiye and Prosperous Section

1eXaTkana, Ark,
May Is, 1917.
Friend Downie: As our public
schools are about to close and we
are getting reports Of warm wealth
er from Dakota, we are now max
ing preparations to return north.
The wheat harvest has commenced
here in Arkansas and Texas, and
the yield is reported as being good.
Corn is knee to waist high, and a
good stand, while cotton, which is
the main crop is a little backward,
on account of somewhat cooler
nights than usual. Alfalfa and all
grass crops are looking fne--they
cut three to four crops Of alfalfa
here. Bermuda grass is grown
largely for pasture. There is
promise of an immense crop OF
fruit, particularly peaches, the
earliest varieties now in the mar.
ket. 1t may be of interest for
you to know that the largest peach
orchard in the world is here in Ar
kansas. The farming operations
begin in February and end about
December ist, giving about ten
months busy season, the ground
never freezing. Labor Is cheap
and plentiful, colored and Mexi-
can, farm hands getting about $40
to SIS per month and boarding
themselves. We have d good cook
and dining room girl (colored) for
1926 a week.
The negroes have their own
common and high school, same as
the whites and get half of the pub
lie school money. The negro
schools are we'll attended, and the
colored folks have fine churches
with educated ministers. We Of
the north hardly realize the great
progress that is being made ty the
black race.
We have been here now about
eight months. and during this
time the weather has been fine all
Of the time. Snow fell four or
five times, but quickly melted
away, and autos have been in use
all the year. The rain comes in
showers and straight down with no
hard winds. Farmers are diver
styling their crops more and more,
the same as they are doing in the
north. Cattle and hogs are good
money makers here, as stock run in
the open the year round. Cotton
paid as high as 500 an acre last
year, and there is prosperity all
through the south.
They raise two crops of Irish
potatoes during the season, and
garden truck for ten months.
Fruit begins to come to market
about April and it will be coming
along Of different kinds until No.
vember. Land ranges in price
about the same as in South Dakota,
the river bottoms running up to
500 an acre-that is around here.
N Her county, Ark, where we are
living, has just let road contracts
for $3.50, 600 SO you see the people
here are awake on the good roads
proposition. This is certainly q
very interesting country; it has q
wonderful future ahead of it, and
it is worth while to visit and spend
q winter here, for the southern
people are very friendly and social
and northerners are heartily well
coined.

CORN CULTIVATION
In Periods Of Drought Any Cultivated
Crop Can BE Greatly Benefited by
Continued Cultivation.

National CreD iaprsysmsat ssrvIee.l
It is a debated question whether
or not the mulch conserves moisture,
but a shallow cultivation surely does
kill the weeds and any farmer who is
energetic enough to kill the weeds
will get the best crops. There Is still
time to plant barley ahead of your
corn. Don't allow an acre to lay VI.
cant this year.

HAUBER THEATRE.

Secretary of War Newton N. Baker, left his desk for the first time in sev- eral weeks to attend a private show ing of Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation" the big preparedness photo play which is scheduled to open at the Hauber theatre next Monday, Tues day and Wednesday.
 The suggestion was made by one of Secretary Bakers assistants that ''Womanhood'' would be of tremen- dous assistance in increasing recruit ing if the navy department would take hold and properly promote the pie ture in big national manner.
 Secretary Baker, who by nature is cons ervative in every sence of the term, at first refused to even think of leaving his office, but finally was prevailed upon to leave a most inn portant war conference and give two and one quarter hours of his time in looking at a picture which he later pronounced as the most wonderful argument in favor of preparedness that ever had been presented to him 1 It was after seeing the picture that

BEST THEATRE.

] Today-Margaret Ellington, the dis 1 tlngulshed star of the speaking stage 1 VIII make her debut on the photo
 dramatic screen in the gripping and
 vivid drama, Sacrifice" written especially for her by Charles Kenyon and prepared for the screen by Be- atlice c. De Mile and Leighton Osmum. Sacrifice" is Laskey- Paramount picture.
 Ever since her first appearance be- fore the footlights Miss Ellington has been one of the most distinguished and popular stars on the American stage. Her wonderful performance ill "The Thief which ran for over a year in New York city, established Miss Ellington as one of the country's $ most successful emotional actresses. Later she repeated her success in "Kindling," which was hailed by all as one of the most unusual and ap- pealing plays of the decade.
 Still later. Miss Ellington won fresh laurels in "Within the Law" In "Sac- rifice" Miss Ellington plays a dual role-that of the daughter of high government official and as a notori- ous dancer in small principality of Europe. To play a double role re- quires a great deal of knowledge of dramatic technique and experience before the camera, but so adaptable was Miss Ellington to the silent art that she was given this unusual task at the outset.

"MOTHERS OF FRANCE'

The biggest event of the year in local film circles will occur at the Hauber theatre on Thursday when Madame Sarah Bernhardt will be seen in Mothers of France,' the tre- mendous film taken in the French trenches, on battlefields and in Pari- sian studios. It is probably the last motion picture in which this world famous artist will appear and it gives full play to all her dramatic ability. Mothers of France" is presented by the World Film corporation. which has secured the American rights to the production. The French govern ment is part owner of the feature and it was under the auspices of the government that the feature was pre- sented in France. This is an attrac- ton that no one should miss. Time liness, it's historic value, its wonder full war scenes and the international fame of the star, combine to make this an ultra special attraction.
