 Dear Friends:
 Yeu are doubtless already aware of the fact, that the Ar kansas State Teachers Associa- tion meets in Little Rock. March 29, 30, 31. The theme for the meeting will be Educational Pre- paredness.
 I'm in receipt of a letter from Pres. Hall in which he states that an must ally interesting rogram is being prepared, and that the topics for discussion will be in the hands of those who are able to discuss them intelIi gently. Therefore, it is earnestly hoped that Lonoke County teach CTS will avail themselves of the privilege to attend thlS great meeting of teachers, and take their respective parts in this great campaign for Educational Preparedness
 I'm informed that the Legisla> ture has passed a Bill requiring School Boards to allow you full pay while in attendance at this meeting. This is a recognition from the Legislature ot which we are proud, and it is to be hoped that all teachers will take advan tage of iJ. Let each of you con sider yourself a omtnittee of one to see that LOnoke County iS well represented. You, who at tend, will get not only a new birth of inspiration, but you will doubtless find the solution to many of the problems which are now confronting you, and which so far as you are concerned. are yet unSolyed
 Yours for great Association,

Million Invested In State s
 Rice Mills

That a St. Louis realty dealer who, in news story in a paper of that city. said there are no rice mills south of the Ohio, ex- cept at Memphis and New Or. leans, overlooked the fact there are S1 100000 worth of mills in this State, is the inference of l.. W. Sanderson, commercial agent here for the Southern Railway.
 The Arkansas Democrat of Monday contained a brief sum mary of the St. Douisan's state ment, which was made in con- nection with movement to es- tablish a millin that city.
 Tuesday MT. Sanderson gave the Democrat the following statement:
 The rice industry of Arkan-
  sas, although not an old industry has come into considerable prom. inence The total area devoted to the ultivation of rice now ap- proXimates 125, ,O00 acres. This acreage is being increased each year, and Arkansas is at pres ent one of the important pro- Gucing States of the Union. In 1916 there was a total production Of 6,000, ,000; the average yield being 50 12 bushels per acre greater average than that of any other State.
 At Stuttgart there are three mills, at Dewitt one, at Wheatlev one, at Carlisle one, at Lonoke one, seven mills in all, represent ing an investment of approx. mately S1,000,000. The machin- cry operated by these mills is the last word in milling and the finished product is~ superior in many ways to the product of old CT mills in other States, which statement is confirmed by the fact that Arkansas raised and milled rice finds a ready market h the various States of the Un lon' The mills are located al strategic points in the producing territory and meet the require ments of the rice farmer in pro vldlhg a near and satisfactory market for the disposal of hi, rough rice. >
