STAKE FARMERS
 WITH MUCH SEED
LITTLE ROCK JoBRERs AID Lo CAL BANKERS TO GET SEED AND ADD MATERIALLY
 TO CROP ACREAGE.

When it was reported to the Little Rock Clearing House that many Put laski county farmers were unable 10 buy seed, because of the high prices, and as a result there would be many acres of tillable land in idleness, c. o. Carpenter, the agriculturalist of the Board of Commerce was called in and asked to assist the bankers in relieg- ing the condition. The Clearing House placed 1,500 at his disposal to purchase seed, and said there would be more forthcoming if needed.
 MT, Carpenter immediately sent word out to the farmers who were af- fected by the high cost of seed, and informed them he would purchase the required amount according to their specification, and take their notes, payable in the fall, with low rate of interest. Many farmers began to come in and Mir Carpenter then went to the Little Rock iobbing houses and ex- plained to them the predicament Every man visited fell into line and joined the movement to the extent of supplying the seed at absolute cost.
 In this manner velvet beans, soy beans. black-eyed peas, peanuts and many other feed crops were supplied to the farmers. Some took large quantities, after convincing Mir Car penter that they were able to care for it properly when planted. Most of the farmers have been seriously affected by the high cost of feed. and the price of seed was so great they could not buy for all the acres they had to plant.

EGGS COME NOW
 IN MODERN STYLE
COUNTRY MERCHANTS DO NOT USE WAGONS, BUT HAUL THEM TO TOWN IN AUTO TRUCKS
 AND TKAlLERS.

Some Arkansas towns may be local ly known as Egg-and-a-Half, or Pen nytown, but if they really and truly buy many eggs they are known in Lit tie Rock as the source from which many blessings flow. Some years back eggs began to be better than cash money. for they have always been better than ten per gold and siI- yer, and certain months of the year they take on diamond yaluations.
 Consequently it was betting that eggs no longer be brought to town III market baskets, or vehicles drawn by mules. A king or prince of the royal family should have beftting equip page, and the egg sellers in Little Rock have made such provision. stand about the Goodwin < Jean pro- duce house, and before the day is end ed there will draw up a Federal mo tor truck, driven by w T. Glover of Cabot. It will be piled high with egg cases, anywhere from 35 to 70, and on top will be half dozen or so coops of chickens, ducks or turkeys. Glover hauls produce to town for his broth CT, J. A. Glover, who operates the Glover Mercantile Company at Cabot, and for other merchants in that sec tion, and then he backs up to the ship ping rooms of local jobbing houses and hauls out a load of merchandise. This is daily occurrence, and Glow CTS load each way is q ton or mora on every trip.
 I,efore Glover gets out of sight W. l.. Price is liable to drive up with his little old load of eggs, another 50 UT so cases, MT. Price comes from R. F. D. No. 2, Austin, and while he does not operate a truck, he gets over tho ground about as rapidly and with as large load, with trailer which runs as fast as his Tin Elizabeth, which provides the motive power.

preaching a strapping big two hun dred pound man, who greeted me friendly. He informed me that he was having a hard time and was just preparing to go to work at mill to make money to live on while his fath- CT and lady who lives on the adjoin- ing place, would look after the farm and vineyard. The lady had come in from Chicago and bought forty-acre tract. The neighbors informed me that she and Alex are to marry in about two weeks. The wagon was being loaded with a patching outfit and after dinner she drove him to his work The old man was cheery and in the best of humor.
 After dinner he went over to w. c. Kryer's and looking at their garden he told them that he had much better tomato plants than they and to send their boys over after some of them, which they did when the boys came in from school. The oldest is only about ten. When they reached the Pinon place they found MT. Pinon dead on the ground with one foot on the door step, where he had fallen, probably having taken sick suddenly and died as he attempted to reach the house. As I was in the neighborhood about 5 D. m. met the lady returning home all unaware of what awaited her re- turn. A few minutes later I met an Italian, John Piren, who told me of the death and that he was on his way to inform Alex of his bereavement
 The affection between father and son was of the very deepest nature, especially on the sons, part, who said his father was the only relative he had in America. The death stirred up the sympathies of the entire neigh borhood. Only week before Mrs. Palentine, near neighbor, had died. The sympathy of the people in small neighborhood like this, separated by miles from other neighborhoods, is very real and is shown in acts and not words Kind neighbors at once, after the justice of the peace had in yestigated the death, and authorized them to go ahead with the burial, took charge of the remains. Next morning the son and W. c. Kryer made a coffin. Only short time before the old man had told the son that he wanted to get the lumber and make his own coffin, as he knew he could not live much longer. As the men worked on the coffin a dark cloud came up and it got so dark could not see to sharpen my pencil then a

NEW VEGETABLES
 LOWER PRICES
suT PEOPLE HAVE QUIT GROW ING SUGAR, COMPOUND LARD, MOLASSEs, HOMINY AND
 KRAUT.

Potatoes, onions and cabbage felt fhe effect during the past week of the new crop, which is now being shipped in from Texas, Florida and other for eien countries. As all of these caa he served without sugar, they are now comparatively inexpensive, but there is still an aching void amidships when one thinks of such delicacies as nretzels. canned salmon, condensed milk. cotton oil shortening and corn svrup. There is no explanation for tastes, and persons with perverted taste must keep right on eating little old lobster, fresh fish, French arti- chokes and Welch rarebits if we can catch them.
 The most sensational advance dur ing the past week has been in lard and cotton seed oil products. The chute seems to be greased both ways for these commodities, and they can 20 up or down with equal alacrity One-half cent a pound was added last week. Kraut has not been seriously affected by the war, but on the other hand it goes up in price, showing that it is either an awful short crop, or has become AmericaniZed to the extent of being contender with army and navy beans for popularity.
 A recent issue of one of the most widely read weekly publications con tained an article showing that ba- nanas is the poor mans food. The fruit company that controls the fruit growing industry in the tropics, did far more during the past week to pop ularize this than dozen such articles, for the price went down.
 In the poultry market there is very little change, ducks and turkeys, being 3 bit out of season, now that spring flyers ara obtainable. have slumped q cent a pound, but the price is still sui fcient to tempt the countryman who has anything of that kind to sell.
 The potato bug campaign seems to have reached a climax in Arkansas. for the potato bug planted in the brain of Arkansans by agricultural ex- perts, has produced a crop too large for the Colorado potato bettle to con- sume it, and we'll all be biting down on the home crop before another week has passed.

How can you people of the cities stand the hypocrisy of your false life when there is so near you such true life as his? In fact it is very hard even in thickly settled country com munity to enjoy real simple life. There are too many people in the world, and if the war does not get rid of them even the mountains will be oyerrun and there will be no more such communities as this left. In the city the Italians worked at day labor, kept boarding houses, run saloons, etc In asparsely settled neighborhood they with those of other races who have settled here have become real affec tionate neighbors, ready at mo- ment's notice to extend a happy hand to one another.

 Victor Pinon was born in Cosne, Department of the Nievre, France, De- cember, 1889, being nearly seventy eight years of age. He moved to Win snipeg, Canada in 1894. There his good wife died in 1897, leaving only father and son, who since then have lived and patched together most of the time They moved to the state of Washington in 1900, then to Colorado and other states, settling here in the Maumelle mountains near Ledwidge in 1911 He died here on the after noon of Wednesday, May II, 1917, and was buried in the Tippett Cemetery, near Wye, Saturday.

Saturday, May 5, I visited Ft. Lo- gan H. Roots. found the commander busily engaged with a civilian com mittee, so I hunted up my old friend. Col. c. D. James, of the First Arkar- sas. He was just ready to leave and gave me such an introduction to Capt. Watson Reynolds that the latter made special efforts to entertain me. Be- sides, Capt Reynolds was an old newspaper man, and familiar with the Pea Ridge Pod, as were all the other officers I was introduced to- He at once introduced me to Lieut.. R. l.. Woolfolk, Capt Daniels and others. Capt. Daniel attended, a school taught by Capt. Reynolds and had to take or ders and whippings from him, but when Capt. Reynolds enlisted he found him self at once under the orders of Capt. Daniels, and proceeded to even up all old scores. Capt. Reynolds also has a nephew, who though a college grad uate, has enlisted as a private.
 Passing to the rear Of the buildings I came to the wooden barracks now building and found scores of carpen- ters at work hastening their construc- ton, working nine hours day, for seven days a week, for which they re- ceive $4S50 a week. These wages will give the hard time croakers some idea of the prosperity amaiting this country as the s7OOO,O0OO0O war loan is being spent.
 I went at once to the regimental headquarters, where I learned that just a week previously. where was then sitting was primeval forest and beneath the floor of the tent was a stump three foot in diameter. The ground, many acres in extent, was cleared in five days. Maj. Cole, U. S army surgeon. said this regiment did

The first place I came in sight of following the dainty footsteps (and the big ones) was an abandoned home stead. The doors of the house were all open and I thought it would be a joke on the next passersby to close them and the window and did. There was small orchard and the peaches promised delicious eating for some wanderer in the coming summer and there were nice apples, too. The spring had not filled up since the late owner died. For I learned at my next stop that the owner, an old man llv- ing alone there, had died.
