FARSEGETED POLICY

Little Rock business men are far sighted in their visions and practical in the application of their money in efforts to upbuild the state and city in which they live and to insure the future prosperity of this section, as is well attested by the great work being accomplished through the Board of Commerce Profitable Farm n g Bureau, with Mr E. J. Bodman as chairman, and Mr. J. F. Nicholson employed as Agriculturist by the Bureau
 Whife Little Rock is the political center of the state, the public spirited business men realize that it is and must be maintained as the industrial, commercial, financial and social capital as we'll, and in order to dc this, that it must furnish market to the entire state for all that the state may produce. Markets for the products of the country depend for their prosperity often upon the grade of things produced by the country and it has been found to be a matter of profit to central city to take ad- vantage of directing as far as pos sible the production in sections ad- jacent to the city into such lines as may prove to be of the most profit to farmer, planter and business man alike.
 Growth Dependent On Crops
 Realizing that the growth and prosperity of Little Rock is largely dependent upon the kind of crops raised throughout the state and in the surrounding counties especially, the business men have been backing Z the Profitable Farming Bureau to the limit, seeing that great emphasis is placed on the profitable" portion of the work The bureau proposes to find the most profitable lines of

the Bureau, soon announced that he had found the trouble and declared
 that he was not only ready to theorize, but to prove the truth of his report He declared that the grade of cows being milked was too low and that the cows were not of the most profitable kind for dairy use. He got together facts and figures tending to show that the amount of

And they bought and are still buying more of these cows.

production for the various sections of the state and then to prove to the farmers that they will make more money from intelligently following those lines
 It is probable that no one county in the state has received a more prac- tical illustration of the benefits of this bureau than the county of Lonoke, for with Little Rock depend

best returns for the enormous invest ments were assured.
 Ideal Business Location
 The ideal business location of the city was easily realized by the Administration at Washington, very soon after war was declared on April 6, 1917. and the opportunity presented the government was quick ly grasped with the result that the state of Arkansas is today known throughout the world as one of the |nost progressive, with Little Rock
 center of vast war activities in
 bding one of the largest training
 knps in the country, an infantry camp, the great picric acid plant in course of hurried con struction, and the proposal of the establishment of large munitions factory in the near future.
 All of this prosperity did not come as an accident overnight, but was the result of well carried out plans of the Chamber of Commerce, under the managership of MT. George Firmin, with that great public spirited man, Mr. W B. Smith, the very active president of the organiza- tion, on the job day and night. Following the declaration of war, the country was divided into Divis- ional Areas and Departments for the reorganization of the army and Arkansas wi h Mississippi n Louisiana comprised the Twelfth Divisional Area, Arkansas falling in the Southern Department com manded by General John J. Pershing. It was soon announced that an officers training camp would be located in each division.
 Opportunity Is Recognized Then it was that the progressive 1 spirit of the men composing tSe Little Rock Chamber of Commerce best manifested itself, for lon the

most popular move the managers Of
the Augusta Entertainment Course
could have made. This engagement
Will be the 18th return date, many
OF them for the fifth or sixth time,
since his last appearance in Augusta.
Gillian lraS entertained millions
since he first came into prominence
through the publication Of his famous
poem. "Of agin. on agin, gone agin-
F1nnigin." His stories and poems
appear in almost every issue Of the
leading American publications, mary
monograph records have been made,
and his selections published in book
form have an immense sale. In print
his humor is rich. but from the plat
form it is Gillian personified.
Gillian was not made by an artist.
He is as homely as a motor truck.
He's six feet tall and skinny. He
has more wrinkles than an old dollar
bill For figure he's first-class
scarecrow. His hair resembles tn .
fodder in the shock. But the wrap
per is only part of the surprise
package; there is brain working
beneath the drawl.
Strickland Gillian is one of ma
lures biggest inventions. He is de-
vice for extracting humor from ey-
eryday life. The genius who extract
ed sunshine from cucumbers isn't in
it with Gillian. He gets fun out CT
his work, worry, vexations, bad tenn
per, proverty and politics and passes
it back to the people who produced it
in its unrecognizable state. He is a
regular harvesting machine of humor.
AS he passes through the country he
rakes it clear of giggles and hands
