COTTON COMING MORE SLOWLY
Cold Weather Thought to Have Re-
 Stricted Marketing.

During the two weeks ending Wednesday receipts of cotton on the Mena market have amounted to only POP bales, which is consid- erably below the average for sew eral weeks past, tho it brings the total in Mena for the season up to 5,5S9. The light receipts are partial- ly due to the cold weather which had been prevailing for about a week, and to the further fact that the bulk of the 1917 crop has been marketed. The price during the two weeks ranged steadily from 27h cents per pound to 28 cents. The cotton marketed in Mena is distri-

MANY FINE GARDENS
Prizes Set by FEDERATED Club
Start Lively Contest.

The Baxter youngsters in their
garden contests, under the aus
pices of the Federation OF
Women's clubs, will strike at the
high cost Of living as a side issue.
They will have thousands Of CO.
workers all over the state who
will farm on q small scale this
year. It Is stated In good author
ity that these youngsters will
assist in overcoming the present
food shortage.
Last year garden contestants
throughout the state proved that
there was money in the small
patch gardens. The winner in
the square rod contest reported a
profit OF $20.S5. According to
this gain an acre cared for as
efficiently would have melted
$8,256. The youngster who won
the tomato club contest received
a profit of $S7.65 from a one
tenth acre plot.
The work OF the local Fedora
ton of the Women's clubs should
be assisted by parents so that no
boy or girl in the town be denied
the privilege of growing a garden.
The club has already realized
that the size is unimportant and
no restrictions have been placed
upon the amount of ground a
boy or girl should till. Under no
condition, should, the young
gardeners be allowed to have a
plot so large that it will prove
burdensome to the gardener.
The garden may easily be made
an important part of a boys or
girls education. The care of the
soil, the marketing of the produce
at the best available price will
serve to train the youngster
along the lines Of practical busi-
ness undertakings and thus
enable him to watch the market
fluctuation ntelligently. This
will naturally place a sense OF
responsibility on the gardener
and at the same time teach him
the rewards of industry and the
value of money.
A can of tomatoes, purchased
for Is cents, at the grocery, was
probably obtained by the packers
for three cents or less. 1t is
obvious then how much saving
may be made by those who can
put the surplus tomatoes on the
table or market in their finished
state as did the champion tomato
club girl for Kansas last year.
Early gardening will insure
early produce. Early vegetables
are always considered most appe-
Using and bring the highest
prices on the market. The first
home grown tomatoes usually
bring eight to ten cents a pound
more than those put on the
market later. Early pototoes
often command double the price
of late ones.

adiso, Tex, who has been in

HAMILTON LEADS CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR

The meeting of the Christian En-
deavor of the Union Church Sun
day night was led by the Rev. A. w.
Hamilton of the Methodist Church,
The topic was a phase of mission
work. He spoke Of the great need
OF consecrated workers in Europe
at present. Unless the Christian
Church answers the challenge of
the present time, the results of her
missionary work during the lost one
hundred years will be wiped out.
Christianity is on trial, the severest
trial any religion has undergone. II
must make good. If il can demon
strate its great value in this crisis,
greater avenues will be opened. If
1t fails now, it will suffer. The
spiritual idealism Of the countries
at war is in danger Of being destroy
ed. Christian workers must get
busy to prevent this threatened dis
aster. Brother Hamilton has an
swered the call. We need men like
HIM far more than we need soldiers.

RESOLUTIONS

A meeting Of representative citi-
zcns Of Berca was held at Boone
Tavern, Friday evening, July 9th
1917, to discuss measures for the
conservation of the morals Of our
soldiers who go to the front. The
Rev. A. w. Hamilton. who purposes
to go to the theatre Of the war soon,
under the auspices Of the Y. NJ. c.. A.,
brought to notice some startling
facts regarding the temptations TO
which the soldiers are exposed when
abroad. On motion Of Prof. LeVant
Dodge the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted by n
rising vote:
RESOLVED. that we thank Brother
Hamilton for the light which he has
thrown upon the conditions exist
ing at the war front and upon the
need of systematic and energetic
measures being taken to counterfeit
the evil influences there existing.
RESOLVED, that we pledge to him
our sympathy, our prayers. and our
love. as he goes forth to engage in
the self-sacriflcing work which he
has marked out for himself. in the
cause Of the Master, on those foreign
shores.

Since the inauguration Of the
Good Roads" movement in Kentuc-
Ks and the construction of many
miles Of the best roads found in
America. this state has been quite
haven for tourists, coming from
almost every state in the Union.
and since many Of our farmers have
failed TO recognize and grasp the
benefits derived through the med
ium Of publicity - in placing their
names on gates and entrances to
their farms - am calling upon
the landowners in every county in
this Commonwealth 10 please have
a board or sign painted, giving the
name Of the owner of each farm.
also the name Of the farm, il same
bears such, and post in a conspici-
Gus place, on the gate or post at the
entrance TO the farm. This will re-
quire but little effort and expense
upon the part Of each landowner
and the benefits derived through
such simple and inexpensive meth
DDS Of publicity can not be over
estimated.

Golden, passed on to her reward,
July IS, after several months OF
illness Of that dreaded disease, tu-
berculosis. During the entire per-
iod of her sickness she showed the
real Christian spirit, and as the
time drew near for the spirit to
take its departure from the frail
tenement of clay she rejoiced in the
fact that very soon she would meet
her Savior and loved one who had
passed before. Her loss is mourned
by her husband and one daughter,

our deepest sympathy in this hour

The greatest is: This program was
gotten up in one week.

The girls are still very busy. They
meet every week 10 work or plan
some way of making comfort for
soldiers. The last thing they are
doing is running the great big din
re, booth at the fair. Here they
serve the most wonderful dinners
for the price. They don't stand
around and order things done, they
roll up their sleeves and go right
into the work.
The people of Berea have been very
kind and generous to help in this
good work; also the Fair Association
have been extremely generous and
kind, and the girls appreciate every
thing that has been done.
Watch for their next big idea.
