Profitable and More Pleasant Than
 Working In Cotton Fields

Fayetteville, Feb. 21.-Let the girls join the Club and do effective work. With all vegetables and food products of every kind bringing an exceptional price, why not plan garden for this year?s Let the girls join canning club and get specific instructions from one of the specialists with the Ex- tension Division of the University of Arkansas who will tell her what to plant, when to plant, and help her sell what she raises. This work will be as profitable and probably more pleasant than working in the cotton fields. Do not forget the Garden Cal endar prepared by>J. s.

Potatoes Cheap in Colorado.

I'M Pickering, who with his wife
returned last week from visit at
the home of their daughter, Mrs. Hal
Gates, at Sterling, Colorado, brought
TO The Reporter office Saturday four
big potatoes. as samples of what Hal
raised this year. They are the Early
Buster variety, the four weighing
four pounds and ten ounces, aver
aging a pound and two and half
ounces. Jerry says that country is
full of potatoes of the finest quality,
and they are selling out there for
35 and 40 cents bushel, quite q
difference from what Iowa neopls
are paying, as a car load was sold
on the track at the depot in Leon
last week at $1.60 a bushel HaI
also sent US samples of corn raised
on his farm, which, while not as
good as Iowa corn, is mighty good
for that country.

About Poultry l'rlces.

In talking with 6. W. Manning;
manager of the Aaron Poultry anu
Egg Co., he takes exception TO the
statement by "a Farmer, publlshed
in The Reporter last week that poul-
try buyers in adjoining towns are are,
paving more for poultry than the
Leon dealers, and said that FOR the
past two weeks and at the present
time, the Leon dealers were paying
from a cent to two cents a pound
more than dealers in any OF the aa-
Joining towns were paying, and ire
auentiy the price paid in Leon mas
been as much or more than the poul-
try was worth on tne Chicago mar
ket. Before making assertions IN
regard to poultry and produce prices
lust phone to other towns and get
quotations and compare them with
What the Leon dealers are paying
before making your statement that
Leon dealers are discriminating. II
is not The Reporters argument ana
we trust that in any future article
in regard to these matters that writ
ers will be careful not to make any
misstatements on either side. Our
columns are open for the discussion
of such matters at any time, but you

of buying the Chds. Moore corn and

but after careful Investigation he
found tine above results as true and
bought TO corn. On his return to Des

Board of Health Takes Action.

| At a, special meeting of the cit, city
council acting as a board OF health
Tuesday night, resolution was
adopted recurring that all pupils
who attend the Leon schools must
have a certificate that they have
been vaccinated. This action was
taken at the request of the Leon
school board, who on account OF the
prevalence of small pox at several
places in Decatur county, feared the
epidemic might spread to LeonA and
they desired to take every precau-
tioIl against it. There is a great
deal OF small pox in Decatur county
at this time but no cases in Leon
precaution to prevent an epidemic
here. And every good citizen should
lend their aid. The physicians have
ia supply of new vaccination virus,
and II you or your children have
not been vaccinated, you should at
tend to the matter at once. Every
body should do their part in clean
ing up all filth and rubbish about
their premises, for these things aid
lin spreading all contagious diseases.
Keep Leon clean from both disease
and filth.

lively as Mr. Axes had a fine bunch

They We're knocked down quicker
than you could bat your eye, and the
bidders knew they had to. speak up
lively in fear Of hearing Charley cry
out, "Sell 'em; there's lot more to
come" And the bidding did not lag.
The auctioneers knew their business
and there was no waiting for anoth-
er bunch of stock to come into the
sale ring. There were buyers from
a long distance present, and there
were probably more autos parked on
the Axes farm and in the roads ad-
joining than were ever seen at a
country gathering in Decatur coun-
