AFTER AVIATION LANDING
 PLACE.

In view of the fact that Memphis has succeeded in landing one of the government aviation schools, the Marianna Commercial Club hopes to have the government designate a piece of ground near this city as one of the landing places to be used by the aviators in their trial flights. It is stated a number of landing places will be secured by the gov- ernment. Several months ago the secretary of the local club took the matter up with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in Mem- phis. The first of this week the secretary again wrote the Memphis Chamber of Commerce relative to the matter. In a reply which was received here Wednesday,, John M. Tuther, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, stated the govern ment would want smooth tract of land, embracing from 60 to 100 acres, and that the government would be willing to pay a reasonable rental for the use of the grounds. The secretary of the Marianna Com- mercial Club wants to list the avail able sites and asks the land owners to confer with him if they know of any tracts of land that are suitable for this purpose and that can be secured.

ADAMS LETTER.

MT. Welty of Missouri Pacific ad- vises us you are contemplating put ting in an elevator and a Midget Flour Mill and asked us to write you. We hope that you will under stand the spirit in which this letter is written. We don't want you to think that we want to discourage any legitimate enterprise, neither do we want you to feel we are writing this letter because we are in the grain and milling business. But as a matter of fact there are so many flour mills and elevators in the country that one more or less makes absolutely no difference as to either matter of buying or sell ing of grain products. But there are so many failures in grain and milling business because of small capital stock that we believe it would be making a serious mistake encouraging such a prospect. A few years ago there were four times as many mills and elevator, in Ar kansas as there are today. Practi- cally every one of these mills were small and 90 per cent of the cases parties going into these mills and elevators lost every cent they put into them. There is not one chance in ten for a small mill and eleva- tor in this country to make suc- cess. We understood that what you want is to be able to guarantee to your planters and farmers the mar ket for their wheat. Now Arkadel- phia Milling Company guarantees to buy the wheat and pay the highest market price for every bushel of the wheat offered to them. We have just completed 13 new concrete tanks which give us a storage capacity of four hundred thousand bushels. We have always paid the farmers the price of wheat sea- board less the freight at points of foreign at sea board. This year the exporters are not in the market so we are bidding the farmer cents over the Chicago option price f. O. b. his station. We doubt if little mill without an established brand of flour could pay any such price and we know that small mill could not take chance of making satisfac- tory flour for the reason we had a world of trouble when we were much smaller than we are now trying to mill every kind of wheat separately. And it was not until we put in a complete laboratory, in fact it was necessary to keep the gluten abso- lutely uniform and it took several kinds of wheat to blend into the flour to do this and we were trying to keep our flour uniform and sat isfy the trade.
 While we believe Arkansas pro- duces the finest wheat in the world, at the same time this wheat does not run uniform in gluten. It will run actually from IS per cent to AZ per cent wet gluten. Consequently little mill attempting to try to grind one kind of wheat would be working at a disadvantage.

dependent upon employed labor for its success, especially Midget Mill, would probably mean failure. Every such failure stands as a monument against any move having for it's ob- ject the live at home idea.
 We have very progressive neighborhood east of here, known as Scotts. These people had gotten together and planned to put in a Pony Mill, but we urged against it and suggested that before they go into the milling business that they raise more wheat and become ac- customed to that part of the busi- ness and after they had definitely

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO
 PUBLISH NEWSPAPER
NEW PERIODICAL TO BE LAUNCHED SEPT. 5-WILL BE CIRCULATED FREE AMONG
 FARMERS.

Beginning the first week in Sep- tember and continuing bi-monthIy for an indefinite period, the Mari anna Commercial Club will publish newspaper to be known as "The Commercial Club Bulletin and Farmers Exchange" The publica- ton will be rather modest in size at first, but it is hoped by those who are behind the movement that enough interest will be manifested in the journal to justify arrangements from time to time. The initial issues will consist of four pages, three columns to the page. It is planned to mail the papers on the first and third Wednesdays in each month. There will be no subscription charges. The secretary of the Commercial Club will compile list of names and addresses embracing practically every farmer in the county and copy of the publication will be sent gratis to all the names on the mail ing list. Every farmer will be ask ed to use the columns of the pa- per for advertising anything he has to sell or exchange or to make known his wants. For this service there will be no charge. The pur- pose of the publication will be to serve the farming interests, to offer medium of communication between the Commercial Club and the farm CTS, to use it in forwarding all the movements designed to promote the farming industry in all its branches.
 P. F. Newell, county demonstra- tor; Glen H. Leary, secretary of the Commercial Club: C. E. Dag gett. president of the Commercial Club, and others who are prominent in the work of the local organiza- tion. will have charge of the editor ial news and business departments of the publication. The Courier-In- dex office will turn out the paper. Timely contributions on live topics will be asked for from public-spirit- ed farmers, business men and bank CTS.
 Local merchants who desire to avail themselves of the paper as an advertising medium will be permit ted to use a limited amount of space for readers only, which will be ac- cepted at the rate of 10 cents line each insertion. No display ad- vertising will be taken. Products raised on the farm, in the ochard or garden and livestock grown by the farmers may be advertised with out cost.
 All the details incident to the launching of the publication have not yet been worked out. At the meeting of the Commercial Club Monday night it was definitely de- cided to issue the paper. and com- mittee composed of H. M. Jackson, o. G. Norment and Glen H. Leary was appointed to arrange the de- tails. This committee was given power to act finally on all mat ters pertaining to the launching of the paper.
 During the latter part of August those charged with responsibility for the appearance of the paper will begin the preparation of matter for the first issue which will be mailed out on Wednesday, September 5.
