MARIANNE TO BUILD
HOMES FOR NEWCOMERS

HELENA, Ark. Oct. "a. (Spl.)-
Members of the Mariana Lions club
have hit upon a plan to relieve the con-
gested living condition in that town
which, 1t is said, is becoming acute
owing to newcomers. The plan is for
40 business men or concerns to give $500
each and pool a fund for erecting resi-
dences.
While this amount will build only five
or six cottages, II is argued that 1t will
at least make a start toward greater
building activity. It is understood the
cottages would be for rent or sale at
reasonable terms.

INDEPENDENCE COUNTY
MAKES BEST RECORD
Earle Best of Dota Wins State
Championship For the
Second Time

For the fourth consecutive
time an independence county
boy has produced the banner
acre of corn in the state.
The state record for 1918
was made by Earle Best of Do
ia who produced 106 1-2 bush
els of corn on one acre.
This makes the second time
that young Best has earned
the title Of champion corn
grower in Arkansas. In 1915
he made 108 Sd bushels on
one acre, and gained the state
championship.
In 1916 billiard Wyatt Ct
Rosie carried off the honors
with production of 1T
bushels from one acre.
Adler Carpenter of Magness
produced a new high record in
1917 by making a yield of 131
bushels of corn on one acre.
The yield produced last year
by Earle Best is the lowest
championship record made, but
LOG bushels of corn on one
acre is a remarkably good
yield considering the weather
conditions which prevailed in
this section last summer.
These splendid yields of
corn speak we'll for the boys of
independence county and show
what can be done by modern
methods in corn growing.
Every farmer boy in the
county should get in the corn
club this year and help boost
the production of corn in this
county.
