Cant you tell me where [
can buy 30 car loads of sweet
potatoes" was asked the ARGUS
man on Tuesday by H. H. David
son of Texarkana, who had come
to Brinkley hunting sweet pota-
toes for purchase in car load lots
at 81. 10 per blu. I told him of
about those Allendale farmers
who raised and sold the last car
load Of their potatoes week be-
fore last at $1.10. | asked him
if he would meet with our farm
ers at any early date and make
them a few suggestions on mark
citing, etc, which he very kindly
consented to do. Davidson says
he believes that he could handle
a big crop on early shipments
here at Brinkley and says that
many Arkansas farmers have
made snug fortunes out of their
sweets this year and that every
thing points to prices that will
be far better than cotton even
at 30c per pound. Now put in
your sweets all of the Nancy
Hall and Porto Rican yam vari-
ties and try your hand at selling
for cash at digging time.
w. G. Grisham. who moved
down on his Phillips county farm
Jan. LIST, was a visitor in Brink
4 ley Monday and reports every
thing progressing nicely, consid-
ering the wet weather. When
asked how his hogs were doing,
he replied: L haven't lost a
single one of the hogs that were
vaccinated but had many of the
others to die. I've found out too
that it takes far less feed to fat
ten and keep up the hogs that
have been vaccinated than it
does the unimmuned hogs. |
want you to drive down and see
US later on in the summer. Yes,
sir. Friend Grisham, you'll hear
the ARGUS Sunshine Special"
whistling at the Grisham Farm
some spring day just about the
time turnip greens and hog jowl
get ripe. 1t occurs to me right
in connection with good eat
ing" how are we of Brinkley
to get along this year without
4Grisham's fine cantaloupes and
water melons? Can anybody
answer?
w. F. Story and good wife and
son, Sam, were up from Cypress
Ridge Wednesday, He reports
that he is going to plant plenty
of feed stuff, including Iespedeza
and peanuts for his stock. When
asked him about his hogs he
said he was inclined to blooded
hogs but when | asked him
whether he had vaccinated his
hogs, he said, Il don't believe in
vaccination" and yet Friend
Story told me of having lost a
number of his hogs by disease. |
reminded him of the fact that
has long since been established
by the U. S. Govt Experts, that
practically ALL of the hogs dying
belonged to farmers who main
tanned that same idea of not be-
lieving in vaccination.

Responsibilities of Citizenship.

Representative Abercrombie spoke of
the necessity of training the citizens of
the republic and upon the responsible
ties and duties of citizenship. He said
the properly educated man and the ade-
Guately cultivated woman are to he the
defenders of principle and the protector
Of liberty in years to come.
The republic is no longer in swaddling
Clothes" he said. The period of infancy
has passed, and We are well advanced
into the second century of our national
life. Old things are passing away. Old
theories. old practices, old IDEALS all are
drifting far out upon the sea of unflxed-
ness. The beaten paths have been for
kaken. ana we are earnestly engaged in
strenuous endeavor TO discover some
guiding hand which will lead US out into
The clear light OF open day.
In this time Of confusion. in this ex-
citement OF new conditions, in this
breaking away from long-established
customs. We are constrained to ask:
Who viii solve the problems that press
upon us? To whom shall we look for
deliverance from drifting in this time of
storm? Upon whom shall We rely for a
proper guidance of the ship of state?
Who Will point the way to new and bet
ter conditions? Who will lead in the
necessary work? Who will do that
work
My answer is: The trained citizen.
TO him must we look. Upon him must
we rely. He is the hope of the future.
il is his to apply correct thinking and
patriotic acting to the solution of new
and perplexing problems. 1t is his to
erect high ideals and build up to their
full stature. 1t is his to direct and pre-
serve the republic.

Obligations Should Be Sacred.
I'm n country like ours training for
citizenship is of paramount Importance.
it is not enough that the youth Of the
land be trained for social, vocational

and patriotic services in the realm of

I'd that all would consider them as sa-
cred-as obligations that cannot be
delegated or disregarded as obliga-

fearlessly not only for our own well

Our inheritance from the past is
great and great are the responsibilities
