ROGERS WAKING UP.

Last night an enthusiastic meet ing of the Rogers Good Roads Club was held at the Elks hall, President Whitlow in the chair.
 Preliminary arrangements were made toward securing the necessary subscriptions to secure the state high way appropriation of S11,000 with which to build highway to War Eagle and Huntsville. Unless the citizens of Rogers come to the front and se- cure this appropriation, a large pro- portion of the trade tributary to Rog- CTS will be diverted to Sprihgdale with the completion of the Eureka Springs Huntsville Fayetteville high way, now under construction. Rogers is going to be left high and dry unless we get busy, for not only will we lose a large line of trade, but the thous ands of motor tourists will naturally take the best roads they can find, thus the motor travel would pass north and south through the town of Huntsville. Surely we all are not going to allow this travel to be diverted from Rog- CTS We must be up and doing. Sup port the good roads club all you can; it is up to you to protect. Secure the highway appropriation and help to build up Rogers.-Rogers Post, Friday.

 No little surprise was created in Springdale Monday afternoon when it was known that the post office was being moved into Thompson & Sons building in the Opera Block. Those favoring the removal have been work ing since August 1 to have the change made, but so quietly that no one knew of their intentions Considerable dis satisfaction exists among those op- posed to the removal, and a numerous ly signed request has been forwarded to the department asking an investi gation of the matter, and the outcome is awaited with much interest. Post master Thompson Is part owner of the building wherein the office is now located, which is his principal reason for desiring the change.

No need to aim at per manency, as the boys will probably not be able to preserve them after they have enjoyed their contents.

LOST FOR TWENTY SEVEN DAYS

Harrison, Ark, Nov. 23.-M. F. Bricker, the mining prospector of Kansas, who was lost for 27 days in the woods of North Boone, has been taken in charge by his brother, and preparations are being made to re- move him to hospital where he may receive treatment. One limb is af- fected with gangrene and will have to be amputated, it is said.
 Mr Bricker, while lost in the woods, took refuge in cave where he was overcome by weakness and although people were within hailing distance at times, he was too weak to make himself heard. He was without food the entire time, and was discovered in the cave just in time to save his life.

every acre In condition to receive this
crop should be planted to it. This Ia
one of the rare seasons when wise
farmers-and Michigan has many of
them-can be patriotic TO the limit
and make an honest profit at one and
the same time. Wheat offers the OPP
portunity now, If ever, of killing ''twa
birds wi yin stane," as the canny
Scot is fond of remarking.
A forty -million-bushel crop in 1913
is the goal Michigan growers should
strive for. Is the mark beyond reach?
If you think so, IL might be enlighten-
ing to recall few facts from Michi-
gan's agricultural past. The acreage
planted to wheat In Michigan in 1916
was but 76G,391 acres, but in 1899 Is
years ago, the wheat crop occupied l.
925, 100 acres. The states wheat acre
age then was almost three times what
II is today, but with the present great
er area of tillable land and with i'm
proved machinery and more hands for
the fields as much or more wheat can
be raised in Michigan during the COM
ing season, provided supreme effort
is made. The decline in wheat produc-
ton has been due chiefly TO the low
price received in the past, but now
that the returns are almost all that
