AVIATOR KILLED AT
 LITTLE ROCK

Lieutenant Thomas J. Leni- han of Eberts Field and Chap jain Denis O'Dowd of Camp Pike were killed last Saturday at Lit tie Rock when the airplane in which they were riding fell 1900 feet to the ground. Both men were killed instantly.
 Lieut.. Lenihan who was in charge of a squadron of planes flying over the city is supposed to have struck an air pocket which caused him to collide with another machine.
 The accident which is the first of it's kind in the State will be deeply regretted by the people of Monticello on account of Lieut.. Lenihan's visit to this city. On April 30th he visited this city in the interest of the Victory Loan Campaign. He gave three very successful flights in this city on that date.
 During his short stay in this city he made many friends who will regret to hear of his un- timely death.

TO THE GINNERS
 OF ARKANSAS

Before any public ginner in the state can legally operate d cotton gin he must secure q ginner'S license from Jim c. Ferguson, Commissioner of Ag- Yiculture, Little Rock. The de- partment desires to administer the law in such a manner as to meet the needs of the ginners in the state and we ask your coop eration. Application blanks have already been sent to the ginners and hundreds of ginners have secured their licenses.
 Remember, the license is issu- ed without cost to the ginner. All ginners should secure their cot ton tags at an early date. In ordering tags, remit by Money Order or Little Rock Exchange direct to State Treasurer, at ? l-2 cents for each tag. The State Treasurer will not accept checks.

DAM
DAM Will Be Started This Summer To Give Arkansas Cheap Electric

Will Be Started This Summer To
 Give Arkansas Cheap Electric
 Power.
 No obstacles stand in the way of the big hydro-electric dam project that will give Arkansas cheap electricity such as many other states and foreign coun- tries now enjoy, says the SOUTHERN CONSTRUCTION NEWS, of Little Rock.
 The first unit of the project will cost S26a,000. Of this a. mount S200,000 has been raised through the sale of stock. As some of the stock was sold OH 90 days terms all of the $200,O00 is not due. Work will not start until $200,000 is actually in the treasury in cash. But it is anticipated that the full S263,- GOO will be in, in that length of time. Then the company, which has completed all of it's prelim- mary engineering work and has long held its franchises and lands, will be ready to start work on Arkansas first big hydro electric project, although not actually the first water-power electric plant in the state.
 A revolutionary effect upon the industrial and commercial life of Arkansas is expected from the harnessing of the Lit tie Red River. Cheap power has developed in Alabama, the Carolinas and other states, mil lions of dollars worth of in- dustries, whose purchases of raw materials and weekly pay rolls represent multiplied mill lions more.
 While the first unit will cost only $263,OO0 the complete development as power demands increast and justify expansion, will cost $5,000.0OO and include several dams. lakes and power plants.

CAR LOAD OF CHICKENS
 TO BE SHIPPED.

Drew county is making quite rapid strides in the poultry Industry. When MT. $. II. Cole man, Manager of the local pro- duce house for Goodwin & Jean came to Monticello a few months ago he was told by certain pesSimistic individuals that the produce business would not jus tify the shipment of express lots. If that party is still alive it must be humiliating to him to find that in so short a time this con- cern is shipping in car load lots.
 Today a ear load of chickens IS being sent to the northern markets from this county. There will be about 10000 pounds of chickens. This car will bring to the people of Drew county about S4000.
 In addition to the car of chickens, MT. Coleman will ship a ton of hides. This industry is proving a great commercial value to the people of this county.

ROBINSON'S PEACH
 CROP SOLD.

Who said peaches could not be grown with profit in Drew county? Mr. Newton Robinson. living about five miles north of this city, closed a deal this week for the disposal of his entire crop. From seven hundred trees MT Robinson will realize about S2500. All that Mir. Robinson hos 10 do is gather and deliver the crop to the Monticello sta- tion, and collect his money. Yet some folks say that it's no use to raise anything around here be- cause We haven't market.
 Mir Robinson is certainly to be congratulated upon his suc- cess.

POULTRY CLUB GIRL MAKING WONDERFUL
 RECORD,

Miss Connie Nelson, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charlie Nelson of Barkada, is breaking all re- cords in the poultry industry.
 Miss Nelson began four months ago with pen of five chickens, four hens and one rooster and she now has one hundred and fifty chickens from the original five. The season is only about half over, so one can readily see that Miss Nelson can safely predict large returns from her poultry venture.

SENATOR ROBINSON ON
 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Senator Joe T. Robinson seems to be gaining quite a reputation for himself at Washington. The Washington press from their frequent mention of him seem to hold him In high esteem. We quote from one of the leading Washington papers an account of an address given by Senator at one of Washington's most fashionable churches.
 League An Aid To U. s. Growth
 Senator Robinson Says Gov
 enant Makes Sure
 Gains By Army.
 American liberty and Ameri- can citizenship would be un- hampered by the league of na- tions, declared Senator Joseph T. Robinson yesterday in an ad- dress at the First Baptist Church.
 Attacking opponents of the league, he declared it would be shameful if statesmanship fail ed in it's duty to uphold the league after the sacrifices made by the soldiers.
 What will have been gain ed," he asked, eff the allies go their way with no plan for per- manent peace? Never again, if the league of nations Is carried through, will Germany be able to threaten the peace of the world. The article providing for ter ritorial integrity is the Monroe doctrine applied to the whole world. The United States has also disavowed any purpose of conquest. Is it, therefore, any limitation of American citizen ship for this country to agree not to seek foreign territory and to have the same apply to other nations ?'
 Senator Robinson declared that the league of nations provided a contract by which the nations agreed to submit all justiciable questions to courts of arbitration, whereas the Knox plan offered the possibility of danger to American liberties.
 In introducing the speaker, the Rev. Dr. Henry Allen Tup- per, pastor of the church, re- ferred to the league document as the most monumental pro- duction ever laid by man before his fellow men"

FIGHTING BOIL WEEVILS. Profitable Farm Expert Tells How To Find Boil Weevils And
 What To Do For Them.

The boil weevil appeared in spots in many cotton fields late in June. Let alone they are like ly to infest the entire fields. Properly combatted, they can be checked and fair crop can be matured in spite of them.
 Cultivate the cotton shallow once EVERY week until the last of August. Late and constant cultivation keeps the plants growing and throwing out squares until the bottom crop is fully made. The weevils feed on the squares and let the bolls alone. Stop cultivation and new squares stop forming, forcing the weevils to attack and destroy the Bolls.

CuLLiNG THE FLOCK. Judging Fowls For Egg Produc-

GET RID OF THE STACKER HENS, with food in price it is of the greatest importance tocull he poultry flock. Culling serves two purposes. First, it insures that the food shall be consumed by the better producing hens, thereby increasing the profits. Second, it makes it possible to save those best suited for breed CTS, both on account of their better production and on account of their superior strength and vitality, under war conditions it is imperative that the poor pro- ducers. be weeded out. The stacker hen must go, those that do not produce must be killed for meat.
 In order to lay well bird must have a sound body. As a first consideration, bird must be VIGOROUS AND HEALTH Y, if it is to be able to lay well. Vigor and health are shown by a bright, clear eye, a well set body, a comparative active disposition.
 Further, the bird must be free from physical defects, such as crooked back, extremely long toe nails, scaly legs or any thing else that would keep the bird from getting an abundance of food.

BIC CLUE RALLY OF
 H0YS AND GIRLS.


 occasion long remembered with the boys and girls of Drew coun- ty. Abcat four hundred and fifty membefa were present at the big rally held in this city.
 The court room, where the exercises were held, had a very attractive appearance with the flag and floral decorations so much so that the stern old hall of justice did not at all resemble itself. Each Of the twenty clubs had a space reserved, placards indicated the reservations.
 The exercise was opened with song and prayer. Judge J. G. Williamson delivered an eloquent address in which he set forth the glory of the farm and the mo- bility of the work in which these young people are engaged. He urged the club members to stick to the farm, it being the most independent of all vacations. In order to make it a pleasure, he said, ii must be carried on sue cessfully. While not an expert agriculturalist, Judge William son said he was a farmer at heart and in his opinion he who made a success on the farm was more to be admired than Rock fellow or the great Scotchman Andrew Carneige. For in spite of the great fortunes that they have accumulated they have in reality produced nothing.
 Judge Williamson is one of the most earnest and popular mem- bers of the local bar. His ad- dress was well received and will long be remembered by the large crowd of young people and the smaller number of patrons who were present.
 Yates Jones of Jones' School Hoase was the second speaker of the morning. Mir. Jones is a member of the Invincible Club, a club that has been making quite a reputation by it's activity of late. His subject was "The Club, It's Purpose and Advantages His talk was well delivered and greatly appreciated by young and old.
 Miss Chamberlin, District Home Demonstration Agent, made an excellent talk upon the Beauty of a Farm She dealt with the house, the garden and the field as the principal objects of beauty about the farm. With graffie description she pictured the home with vines and flowers made beautiful by the cultiva- tion of what nature has so gen erously endowed us.
 Mir. Henry Cruce, Cashier of the Drew County Bank, gave very short review of his recent trip with the other Arkansas business and professional men through the northern states. He imparted some very sound advice to the young people upon the question of finance. He eX plained that many comforts could be added to the house hold equipment with economic gain but warned the members against the useless spending of money. He emphasized system and organization as necessary to the success of any worthy undertak- ing. MT. Cruce closed his speach by earnestly asking that they practice concentration, organiza- ton and cooperation.
 MT. Jack Curry, President of the Chamber of Commerce, gave one of his characteristic talks that are so popular with all who have heard him.
 Mr. Curry's plea was for bet ter sanitary conditions and more attractive homes. He also urged them not to be like the hen in trying to pay the mortgage off by simply laying" around.

In breeds with yellow skins and shanks the hens saved should also show pale or white shanks, and pale or white beaks and vents.
 CULLING THE GROWING
 BULLETS.
 A flock of growing bullets nearly always contain a consider able proportion of birds that arc very much under size, or in other ways are poorly develop ed. These should be culled out as soon as they are noticed as conspiciously backward. They will never make a profit and the sooner they are eaten, the less will be the loss on their account. Even when foraging is good it does not pay to keep them. It is much better to let the good thrifty bullets have all the feed.

WHEN TO GULL.

Culllng should be continuous throughout the year. This con- tinuous culling should consist of weeding out, when discovered, any hen which is sick, which is very thin, or which shows ev- idence of non-production, weak ness or poor vitality.
 When a single systematic cul- ling is made, the best time to do this is in August or September. At this time it is easier to form a fairly close estimate of the relative value of the hen as an egg producer and to weed out the non-producer. Hens which show indication of laying at this time, are those which on the average have been the better producers for the year. It must be re- membered that the better pro ducers, during the first laying year are those which will be the better producers in the sub sequent years.
 HOW TO GULL
 In going over the entire flock for the purpose of culling there are a number of points or char acteristics which should be given special attention in selecting the layers from the non-layers. Where the different character istics or several of them in the case of any individual agree, as
