D0INGS OF THE MOUNTAIN
VOLUNTEER BAND

In Chapel, last week, President
Frost gave the Mountain Volunteer
Band the privilege Of using the last
half-hour, TO bring before the stu
dents some If The problems that are
confronting The mountains today.
Miss Helen Fairchild talked On
the work Of The rural school teacher.
She told how she had gone into her
own home district and taught in the
little log school house, that she had
gone to school in, and how she had
worked hard Ca change some Of the
conditions Of the district
The problem of the rural school
teacher is certainly, a difficult one.
Through The teacher, great work
may be done. They have the chance
not only to improve the mind of The
child, but also to improve the socl-
al conditions If the community, anG
to influence 'he people along re-
ligious lines. I'm fact, in many dis
tricts the teacher is the only
one that is capable Of helping the
people to live better lives; and if
the teacher does not take the stand
for better things, who will take The
stand? Who in the community Is
capable of doing these things, OK
cept the teacher?
Mr.. John Deyton also talked Oh
several of the problems of The
mountains. The problem of the
minister, the doctor, and the law-
yer: maybe some do not know ur
understand the need of Christian
lawyers-lawyer who will stand up
for the right thing, instead of using
their knowledge of law to deprive
some poor man of what little land
or money he may have.
In our regular meeting, last week,
Professor Smith talked to us. lie
told us on just how large a scale
our program would have to be maze,
in order that we might be able TO
do the best work. He gave us The
Numbers of the different classes Of
people in the mountains-but the
class we are interested in is the
2,0OOOOO poor people, unable to help
themselves. In our program, Home
Improvement" certainly must had
all important place. Until the home
is made better we cannot expect
people to live better Christian lives
and be more active in educational
work.
Surely Agricultural Improve
ment" must be placed in our prp-
gram. Millions and millions of dol
lars go to the cities every year t.r
canned goods. That means that o If
agricultural system is poor. Now
IL money is going out of the COM
try TO the cities for food, by what
means is there left to bring money
into the mountains. Many years
ago we had the income from The
timber that was being taken out,
TO fall back on; but that source is
gone now. If the native people |
owned the mineral that is. on their
land, we would have that income.
but il is sad to say that the mineral |
rights are nearly all sold out. So
the agriculture of the mountains |
certainly needs improving, in order
that we have a larger income. In
order that we may bring about this
Improvement, agricultural schools
must be established, good roads
mast be built, and farm demOnstra-
tors are needed.
These are only a few of the things
We must place on our programs; but
they are certainly important things,
il not the fundamental things.

With his honorable discharge in his inside pocket, Corporal Clyde c. Jones, Headquarters Company, 932nd Infan- try, A. D. F.. returned hom last week, says the Cabot Guard.
 The official records show that Cor poral Jones was in the St. Die sector September 21 to October 16, 1918; Somme drive sector, November 6 to g, 1918, an dthe Meuse-Argonne offensive, November to IS, 1918.
 After receiving his preliminary train ing at Camp Pike, Corporal Jones was transferred to Headquarters Company, 922nd Infantry, 81st Division, and sailed from the United States July 20, 1918; arrived Liverpool, EngIand, Au- gust il. 1918; returning sailed from St. Nazaire, France, June s, 1919, arrived in United States June IS. 1919, and absence of nearly Il months.
 While the record shows that Cor pofal Jones participated Tn some or the most hotly-contested battles of the world war, he came through without a wound. At mention or some return ing soldiers complaining of going hun gry, Corporal Jones said that for three days of the Meuse-Argonne fight hls company was without rations, not through any fault of the government at home or the officers over there, but from the physical impossibility of the cooks to keep up with the battle line.
 For war-worn France he has the highest admiration, and he mingled with her people at close range.
 That the Germans were no match for our boys. whether-fighting in the trenches or in the open, he attributes to the initiative of the American sold fer in the ranks, and his determination to go forward with or without orders.

Cotton continues to improve some, the condition being poor in most southern and some east ern localities, but fairly good to good in remaining portions. In the upper White and Black River Valleys most fields are about three weeks late, but the plant is growing rapidly and, with this exception, is in good condition. Corn is in very good condition and is making very good progress, except in the northwest portion, where the soil is becoming dry, causing corn to curl badly Rice is improving rapidly, ani is now in good to excellent condition. Meadows, sweet potatoes, fruit, truck peanuts, sorghum, and melons JIe doing we'll in nearly all portions Peaches are ripening rapidly.

 STOCK.

Arkansas dairy farmers who are in- teersted in establishing dairy herds will be interested in letter received by Jim G. Ferguson, Commissioner of Agriculture, from K. L. Hatch, Assist ant Director of Agricultural Extension, Wisconsin State Agricultural College, Madison, Wis, in which the writer states that the government county agents in the dairying sections Of Wis consfn are prepared to assist the Ark ansas county agents and farmers of this state in obtaining dairy cattle at reasonable prices.
 MT. Ferguson states that both grade and pure-bred Guernseys, Holsteins, Jerseys and Ayrshires are obtainable, male and female ,at all ages High grade heifer calves are quoted from SIT to $25 apiece; yearlings, $50 $50; bred grade heifers, $S5 to $125; and grade COWS, $125 to $200 apiece. Pure bred heifer calves are quoted at from $100 up, yearlings at from $175 to $25G, and cows from $500 .zp according to breeding and individual performance of the animals. The Wisconsin breeders, Director Hatch says, have choice lot of purebred sires that will be ready for fall and winter service at from $1O0 up. They also have large num- Der of pure-bred bull calves that can be purchased at around $50 apiece.
 Commissioner Ferguson says that where sufficient number of buyers are present in community that a car load shipment can be made up and a considerable amount saved on the freight charges, or for this purpose several communities in county might form a club for the purchase of a car lot of these cattle. A good many Wis consin dairy cattle have oeen brought into Arkansas by farmers and dairy men who have visited the Northwest dairy section and the opportunity IS now given for them to purchase stock through The government agents with out the expense of trip to Wisconsin or the payment of commissions to any one County agents will act as the Arkansas farmers representative in getting the best animals obtainable for the money invested.
 Buyers need only to be cautioned about the bringing of these northern cattle into the tick-fnrested districts. The local Arkansas county agents should be advised with regard to the safety in moving the cattle into any particular community. It is under stood that the fever tick is the only hindranee to the introduction of pure bred cattle from tick-free territory.

VICE.PREsIDENT MAY AS
sumo DUTIES OF PRESIDENT

Washington, Oct. li.-Hope that
President Wilson soon might regain
his normal health and resume fully
the duties Of his office was swept
away today by his physicians, who an
nounced that il would be impossible
for him to leave his bed "for an ex-
tended period"
The announcement, made after n
consultation between Rear Admiral
Grayson and the three assisting ply
sicians, said there had been no inter
ruption Of the presidents slow I'M
provcment. but emphasized that he
still had long road to travel before
complete recovery.
The constitution provides that IN
case Of the presidents disability, the
vice-president shall act as chief exc
cutive, but there is no precedent for
such transfer Of authority. The
physicians announcement was not
taken 10 mean that Mr.. Wilson would
be prohibited from sitting up in bed
and il was considered entirely posi-
Bile that he might be permitted 10 sign
a few important bills and orders each
day as his progress continues. That
would be matter to decide later.
And the disposition Of officials seems
20 be to let any questions of has dis
ability solve itself as specific cases
krise
Besides Mr.. Grayson, the physi-
clans who took part in the consulta-
ton were Dr. F X Dercum Of Phil
adeiphia. an expert on nervous disor-
ders. Admiral + r. Stitt, head Of
the naval department and DR. Ster-
ling Rufin Of Washington.
