Some Emciency Ideas.

Talking about efficiency: We were treated to the spectacle a short time ago of train crew vainly trying to unload a piano and finally getting the section men to help. It was un- loaded and set on the ground. Fin ally a drayman came with a crew of men and took it to it's destination. We do not know how long the train was delayed, nor cost of handling, but a platform flush with the car door would have saved lifting it and all other freight up and down and would have reduced the cost of breakage. Go watch them load and unload some day. it is amuseing. You may also trace a reason for high cost of freight and passenger service Tn this state.

people with a strong pull, the pull together spirit--the fellows who will stand shoulder to shoulder and bat- tie for progress.
 Divorce us from the hard luck harper, that dispondent being that blasts and blights everything. the man that has struck. and is always saying What is the use of efforts or anything? Nothing at all.
 Give us a sunshiny people with a cooperation; the high-tide fellow; the buoyant: the man with joy these three.
 It is a light in the face by which the heart signifies it is at home and waiting.
 A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom and dries upon the stalk
 Give us a laughing people, always with a smile for each other and for the success of the Hatfield Fair, and the building up of Hatfield and it's community.

As you in your discretion have elected me president of the Hatfield Fair Association the second time, and realizing that the success de- bends on the efforts of the people, there is a few suggestions 1 want to make:
 Deliver Us from a passive class of men who whistle around for the want of thought. Give us men who work and are always in the har- ness. ever on duty for the building of our country
 May we be skilIful and not tumble with the prosperity of our country, but use our brains Go the best ad- vantage.
 Please separate us from that an- tagonistic animal, more mule than man, judging from the way he kicks at everything about, and is usually called the contrary cussn
 Give us this year cooperative

Rev. MIIIiams Aroused Conareaation

Rev. J. B. Williams. altho on the retired list, aroused good sized congregation at the M E. church on Sunday night His subject was Fidelity" Not Money he said, ''but men is what We need most in this day and time And in words of eloquence and with all the power of his being he made innumerable il- lustrations to prove it. He did not even spare the men of his own pro- fession, but instead, indicated that the ministry was especially in great need of a higher and better type of manhood. Manhood and woman hood he cried, ,"the greatest and noblest thing in the world-yet the worst neglected
 The speaker with equal eloquence, touched upon home life, the broth erhood of man and upon the war.

Plant City, Fla.-Editor News: l just received your paper today with the expiration notice marked that my subscription had expired Please don't let me miss copy of the dear old home paper It will soon be three years since I came here and during that time have not missed single copy.
 Florida seems to be hit harder by the war than any of the northern states. Prices here still soar higher and higher. Eggs are 50 cents and butter 50 cents, hogs Is cents and corn $2.00 a bushel Everything seems to be scarce The farmers are putting out everything in the way of garden this fall-hundreds of acres of cab bage, celery and strawberries. This is a fine climate to live in, no snow, or mud and the finest roads in the world My son Brent is hauling gro ceries on a motor truck, and gets the same pay as the railroad. He has good brick road to drive over, and makes four loads day. with d large trailer behind. He likes the work here better than farming.
 I hope my old friends in Arkansas will not all forget me. 1 will be back some time next summer on visit. I want to stay here until my youngest children graduate We have fine school here.

Fer example, you can help by show ing your farmer customers the ad- visibility of getting their wheat to mill CT elevator now. ThreshinG Is well advanced in most sections. As the government has fixed the price of wheat, much may be lost Dy iefer- ring shipment of the crop. If it is not shipped soon. the farmers may fl d difficulty .ate. on in moving it whrr they des : t9 do so Every car of wheat or any other commodity shipped now will lessen by that much the i'll effects of the congestion.
 This letter of advice is sem out with no thought of quickening the movement of this eompany's own products to the disadvantage of any others. We are thinking only of the general welfare; we seek only to en- list your aid, and that of all whom you can influence, in an effort to meet a grave situation which we be- lieve can be materially relieved by prompt individual action.

5000 BOYS NOW IN PIG CLUBS.

Three thousand boys now belong to the pig clubs in Arkansas and II. K. Sanders with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas must be given credit for this remarkable growth of interest in better hogs. MT. Sanders says:
 "The razor-back is fast disappear ing from our farms. Through the pig clubs we are now doing community breeding in so counties in the state Some communities are devoting their attention to Duroc-Jersey hogs and others to Polan Chinas, but every where neighbors recognize the inn portanee of having pigs of approXi- mately uniform size, age, quality, etc, at marketing time and, conse- quently, community breeding must win. Community breeding, of course, means that we must have pure bred boars, pure bred soWs, and plenty of good feed--spring and summer and winter pastures, rape, peas, soybeans, peanuts, clover and bermuda. To be successful we must also have clean hog lots and sheds. Folks who have hogs should remember that economic gains can best be made where there is plenty of pasture as nearly as pos sible throughout the year. Do not forget to plant plenty of rape and save the cornIfor finishing. Corn alone does not furnish balanced ration and it is too expensive to use eX- clusively this year anyway Use al falfa or peas or peanuts or clover with the corn and do not forget to make every possible use of the winter pas ture
