Cooperation for the past several
years has been a much discussed and
cussed topic in this free born country
of ours, but after all we know coopera-
ton will be the ultimate outcome of
most lines of industry, whether it is
the farmer, laborer or the business
man. Cooperation among the citrus
fruit growers of California and among
the farmers Of our foreign classes has
been and is a success, also our social
ed trusts are after all nothing more or
less than a strict cooperation of our
big business men Of today, such CO.
operation among them being to the
detriment or for the good Of the class
es, depending on our different views.
But it has in great many instances
been failure among the American
people, caused largely, we believe, by
petty jealousies and poor management
Cooperative creameries and canneries
have been peddled by promoters all
over the country to farmers and COM
mercial clubs years before there were
either the fruit or dairy industry de-
veloped in their territory sufficient
to warrant either, and perforce they |
must die a slow but sure death, to
leave a blackening memory os CO.
operation in that vicinity at least.
However, coming to our present
needs, no one can say what the out
come of this war will bring us to,
nor how long it will last, but we do
know that under present conditions
our railroads are short on rolling
equipment to increase their capacity,
being barely able to replace that
which needs must go to the junk pile.
We know that food products, while
they may not retain their present high
prices, will be for some time yet a ,,
good stiff price, and all that can be
saved will be a clear gain. If our
fruit men had dried what went to
waste under their trees in 1914 and I
1915, even though they had to hold it !
until 1916, it would have added sew a
eral thousand collars 10 the pocheI
book of the community, and their or '
chards we're very young then. Now, u
we believe with the editor of this q
Family Guide, it is time for the COM il
unity to get together and devise some 0
means of meeting what may be seri- Z
BUS situation this fall. y;
The financing, of course, is the SER s
Gus problem, but as suggestion and
n order if possible to promote some
dea of starting this, l would ask, in
he first place, is it not possible (for r
IN example) that there are one hun E
lred ranchers who could pledge five m
ons of fruit and vegetables every
vear for five years, giving US 500 tons =,
,asis to work on. If it takes $4,000 f.
o equip this drier, this would mean
100 people at $50 each, to be divided m

Electric Street Lights

The first electric street lights for our town were installed this week.
 Street Committeeman c. E. Riggs has placed an electric street light at the corner of Ed munds Avenue and Third Street.
 The current which is supplied from the plant of Riggs Brothers Garage was turned on at 1915 Tuesday night, Sept. IS, 1917.
 The big light casts it's rays for more than block in every di- rection and we are sure the pub lie will greatly appreciate this modern improvement.
 The expense and cost of oper- ation will be paid by the town and other street lights will be in- stalled in the near future.

Wheat Bedding
 Demonstration.

Wheat bedding demonstrations have now been held in not less than twenty communities of the state. At the beginning the Arkansas Retail Hardware Deal CTS Association planned to have about twenty-five, in as many counties, and scattered over as much of the state as possible. Arrangements were made with the machinery manufactures to assist, with machines as we'll as with experts, and the agricul- tural forces also agreed to attend and lecture on the different steps in wheat bedding. Then the re- tail hardware dealers in other sections of the state began to de- mand the same thing for their people, and instead of only twenty-five demonstrations, near one hundred will be made.
 Practically every county in Arkansas will have it's demon stration, and some counties two.
 The demonstration in Wood ruff county will be held at Cot ton Plant Friday Sept. 29 and it will no doubt be a gala day for the farmers, as it has been in other sections.

Rumor Persists Home
 Foods To Be Seized.

Washington, Sept. IS. The untraceable rumor that the gov ernment intends to take canned and dried foods from homes per sists and has spread to such an extent that the department of agriculture today placed an ex- plicit and official denial in the hands of every county agent and representative with instructions to give it widest publicity.
 The government never has contemplated communicating foods from the homes in any sense and the persistency of the rumor leads officials to believe it's basis probably may be fouud in propaganda to hinder food con- servation and thereby continue high prices. Arkansas Demo- crat.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS
 HEALTHY AND HAPPY
Interesting Letter Is Received from Captain R. M. Hutchins of Company A, Now Sta
 toned at Fort Roots, Little Rock

Little Rock, Ark, Sep. 20, 1917 MT. Walter W. Raney,
 McCrory, Ark,
 Dear Friend Raney:-
 Just a word to you as Editor with reference to Company A in compliance with your very thoughtful request for same.
 All men are of course in full uniform and have more than the expected good appearance that accompanies uniform dress.
 Health, briefly stated is excel lent. There are none of the men who have contracted illness of any kind here. All the sickness we have is recuperation from sickness before we got to the Fort. All of the men who were sick at home and are of course gradually improving here are i'll much better shape than they were at home. There are only about four of such. The rest of the boys are physically fit, and in my opinion in better health than any of them ever enjoyed in their life.
 We may be here at Fit. Roots a week and we may be here longer no way of knowing that. We now enjoy the distinction of pas sing by reviewing officers twice Tn this short time in better mill tary style than any other organ lzation up tu date here, that of course may be a transitory hon. or. However, 1 want to tell you that Company A in my warped opinion has more good timber for better soldiers (good timber implies, clean living and honest endeaver) than any Company Tn the State of Arkansas, and you may expect to hear of some such reports coming from our work.
 Our quarters are the ones for merly occupied by the 3rd. Company of the Officers Train Ing Camp and are ideal. Sani- tary and living conditions excel lent. The men are falling right into line in maintaining exactly that state of affairs in our camp.
 The first day the boys bought a Vlctrola. (By the way if some or our mutual friends have any
