Among the Factories

I'd like to find out who it is
that doesn't enjoy the early
morning serenade of the various
Brinkley factory whistles these
mornings. 1t is music that
sounds sweet to every live
Brinkley booster.
Out at the new America
Handle Co. they are planning
to put in three new machines,
one trimmer and two grinders,
and are arranging to build a
small dry kiln and ware house
preparatory to turning out the
finished product. W. A. Spicer,
the local manager, says the home
office is pushing him to do the
work at once.
Geo. P. Reid, the Ice man,
who is just finishing his splendid
new ice plant to completion, said
to me early Monday morning,
well. yes. | have some news.
The Anheuser-Busch Co. of St.
Louis, have just closed arrange
ments to open storage and ship
ping depot in Brinkley for their
new temperance brew, "Bevo, -
and already they have a car
load en- route to Brinkley for
that purpose. Now that's al
right and I've no kick in the
world on Anheuser-B Busch, in
fact Pm glad to see them come
into Brinkley to handle that kind
of a drink. I'm glad to know
that Anheuser-B Busch have found
that that they can make and sell
a beverage at a profit that
doesn't make drunk and that
doesn't cause men to become
law breakers, a drink too that
doesn't injure the health and
morals of men. Come on with
your enterprises so long as they
are legitimate and such | be-
lieve the Bevo Agency to be.

GOOD BYE OLD
BOOZE GOOD BYE
UNCLE SAN GETS STEADY
IN THE GAME.
New Pace Is Set in the Roll
of the Bone Dry.

For the first time in the his
tory of America Congress, on
Wednesday, struck a blow at the
whiskey traffic which puts fully
one-third of the nation on the
bone dry list" at one sweep.
This action of Congress means
that the violators of the whiskey
laws in Arkansas are going to
have to answer to Uncle Sam
for their violations and this
means getting a real article of
justice for when they slip one
over on your Uncle Sam theirs
something doing.
So it's good bye booze and it
will soon be good bye to booze
peddlers" in the prohibition
states of America.
My, my, what day of rejoic-
ing this should be for each and
every citizen who has fought
the fight of principle so long!

DR.. R. A. Gregory, of Forrest

Department of Agriculture. Bu-
reau of Animal Industry. who
has been in charge of the tick
eradication work in st. Francis,
Lee, Phillips and Monroe coun-
ties since August l. 1916. states
that these four counties are very
fortunate in being among the
first which will be enabled to
eradicate the cattle tick under
the statewide tick eradication
law recently enacted by our state
legislature.
Our Monroe county cattle own
ers should be up and doing and
build their dipping watts. There
should be at least 30 of these
vats, whereas there are only 6
or 7. Come ahead, cattle men,
let's hold up our end of the
work.

Among the Railroad Men

Ever since Monday of last
week Cotton Belt trainmen have
been coming from Pine Bluff to
Brinkley each day in punches of
10 to Is to take the examinations
on the Book of Rules by the
Rock Island Examiner, who has
been conducting the examina-
ton and they tell me that that
Rock Island man is surely put

Ben Brazier, the Valley Ameri-
can Express Messenger, reports
that his company handled $50
cases of Arkansas eggs for New
York City on two days alone.
this week this is nearly a car
load of eggs and old Arkansas
is coming some. My, how good
it would be if Brinkley poultry
raisers were in on this prosperi-
ty.
There are FIVE families of
good railroad men who are
anxious to move to Brinkley if
they could but find houses to
move in" said a prominent rail-
road official to me this week and
continuing he said, you Brink
ley people will have to get busy
and find someone to take care
of these people. | know of sew
eral other families. who are living
in other points, who would like
to move to Brinkley if they could
but find boarding places. Re-

well, to the police, for there's no
organization here to look after
such, as there is in Mariana,

The prairie farmers are all
busy now and it will be worth
the while of every Brinkleyite to
go and see the wonderful inspir-
ing sight, for such it is to see
this beautiful strip of country as
it is throwing off it's rough
brown winter coat and taking on
its first new spring clothes. Pm
hoping this year to take the busi-
ness men of Brinkley on a days
excursion thro' the various farm
sections around Brinkley, give
them some good farm eating and
let them see the wonderful
sights right here at their very
door. They actually have no

of the wonderful development
and advancement that is being
made right here within a radius
of 10 or Is miles of Brinkley.

Among the Farmers

What about that up-to-date
farm stationery you were to
have had made? We recently
heard of two farmers who hap
pened to apply about the same
time for loans from trust COM
pany. Farmer A had printed
stationery and wrote his letter
on a type writer; Farmer B, just
as well off as A in this worlds
goods, used a pencil and scratch
paper. and wrote on both sides
of the sheet. The result was,
BIS letter made so bad an i'm
preston that he experienced con-
siderable delay in getting his
loan, while AS was granted al
most Immediately. In getting
results from correspondence,
the neatly written letter on print
ed stationery is as far superior
to pencil scrawl on a piece of
scratch paper as a twelve cylin-
der automobile is to an ox-cart. =
The Progressive Farmer.
Henry N. Latner, the Dark
Corner farmer, was in Brinkley
Tuesday and said that he had
just bought a car load of corn
at $1.10. Henry says that he
took the money that he secured
from IL acres of cotton and
bought this corn and that he is
going to do the same this year.
This is dangerous risk to take
for if. 1.-THE boil weevi or
some other of the many hinder
ances interfere with the cotton,
then where will you be? No, sir,
Friend Latner. that is not good
business. Play safe by growing
a little corn. some fine lespedeza,
peanuts. etc, and turn these in
to pork. You can get So to Sd
per bushel then for your corn.
The ARGUS man has had sew
eral applications for membership
in the ARGUS Pig Club. and of
this | will have something to say
later on.
The farm of j. w. Davis, west

on his farm on good stock, fine
Porto Rico sweets, etc, is going
to add thoroughbred cattle to his

bunch of farmers are moving
ahead all the time.
]. C.. Guthrie, one of our clev-
er young farmer friends in Dick
son township, was in Saturday
complaining of the miserable
roads in getting into Brinkley.
He was telling of being forced
to carry his cotton to Mariana
but he said, L told 'em in Mari
anna about the Brinkley stores
beating 'em in prices. | told
'em | could buy at Jack Reid's
for IS cts, the identical axe they
asked me S1.00 in Mariana for,
and that Jack only asked me
$1.00 for the identical trace they
asked S1.25 for. | give it to 'em
pretty strong about Brinkley
merchants selling for better
prices.
Frank Henderson, who owns
one of the prettiest farms in the
county, on Pea Ridge, was in
Brinkley Monday to get him a
a new auto. I'll be glad to see
every farmer in Monroe county
own one-surely there is no class
of people on earth more entitled
to the comforts and ccnveniences
of life than the farmer.
w. H. Norwood, a farmer on
the Military road south of Brink
ley, brought in 40 lbs. of little
pig sausage last Saturday, each
pound neatly wrapped in nice
clean corn shucks and he sold it
all at 25 cts. a pound just as
quick as he offered it. Think of
it. that's easNmoney.
