BEAT THE H. {. 1. WITH FALL GARDENS
The U. s. Covernent is Urging the Planting of Fall Gardens Now-FREE SEED for the
 Asking.

If you are in earnest about beating down the High Cost of Living then get in the game right by planting a FALL GAR DEN RIGHT NOW.
 Here are a few timely hints from the Government Bulletin on this work. But before go- ing through them I want to tell you about having several hun dred packages of Tall Green Scotch Kale Seed FREE to those who wish to plant same for Fall, Winter and Spring use. This Kale furnishes the family with the most delicious greens all the winter through, if planted now instead of the usu- al time in April. The Argus bought this seed and we want to G-I-V-E A PACKAGE to every person who will agree to plant it in your Fall Garden. Come get lem. Now here's the Government clipping on the Fall Garden.
 It is now time to get the Fall Garden under way. Set out cabbage plants for fall and win ter heading; plant beans, tur- nips, etc., and see that the gar den soil is s<kept in the best of tilth. Burn all dead, decaying rubbish that is in the garden. bean vines, pea vines, lettuce seed stalks, etc., are to be seen in the garden. Clean these out at once. The successful gar dener is the fellow Who keeps going after the garden york. Lets all try to grow a fall gar den and prepare to live at home.

The Brinkley argus., 1919-08-14

Son. Laurence Mayo used to
 run about the prettiest and fin est grocery in all Monroe Coun-
 ty, some years ago, and when I
 saw him Friday he introduced
 me to his handsome young son
 and from the fresh, neat and
 prosperous appearance of the
 store l am sure that the "come
 back effort is enjoying the
 same splendid patronage that he
 used to enjoy in the first old
 store. l saw him buying pro- ducts from the farmers and in turn saw him selling these pro- ducts at just what he paid for them-eggs and butter, I mean. Laurence said that he doesn't think it is right to make off of the farmer at both ends of the line; that the merchants busi- ness should be to see that the farmer gets the highest possible price for his products and that when he does this that he will be loyal enough to buy from the merchant and pay a reason able profit instead of sending away to Rears and Sobuck. Lau- renee is just right and it is a pity that all of our merchants don't see it likewise.
 I found out from Parker c. Evan, who is at the head of the Arkansas Bankers Oil Co.,, owners of important holdings in the Texas field that their well is now down 800 feet and go- ing ahead fast. They have also bought 10 acres more of fine prospect in the Desdemona field.
 Driving out of Clarendon at eleven o'clock we headed for Holly Grove and for the first our or five miles plowed through deep mud and water. As there were those in the party who had read my writeups of the Holly Farm of June Davidson, they asked to go by there and so we did. The usual signs of pros perity were in evidence every where and l drove in the big gate and down through the beautiful grove of mammoth holly trees to the Davidson home. Going in to ask for Farmer Davidson 1 found him away from home but it was our good fortune to meet the delight full and hospitable better half and she in turn introduced us to the only real royal aristocrat on the Holly Farm-(all the rest are democrats) her name is Ada and she was just IF days old and about the sweetest lit tie pink bunch of humanity you

 After the usual delightful vis- it in the Davidson home, the par ty adjourned to the shade of the holly trees in the front yard, where table, chairs, swings and hammocks made a setting so in viting that We spread our dinner right there. The climax of the meal was a delicious big cold waterelon brought to us by the manly little Davidson, Junius, Jr. It required a full hour 60 en- joy the meal and get away from this delightful and beautifui shady spot.

They said That splendid sale bill in the Argus got out for us a few weeks since did the work. Never had a more successful sale in our lives"
 At the popular R. Abramson Co.'s big store I found their pro- gressive proprietor away from home probably on a vacation visit. At Mayo and Mayo's big store friend J. w.

Of course, if we get a good rain it may be we will come out" In view of the fact that the best cotton crops I have seen in the I saw that day in the Holly Grove section, 1 am wondering what percentage my friend P. c. would be satisfied with.

INCREASES TEACHERS SALARIES

The legislature of Wisconsin is en-
gagged in making a law fixing the lowest
salary country school district may pay
its teachers. When it gets through it
will not be lawful to pay less than sixty
dollars a month Districts that desire
to do so may pay more than sixty dol
lars, but they can't pay less than that.
Sixty dollars a month is two dollars
a day. or about half the wage of most
tradesmen. Sixty dollars a month
sounds big TO old timers that used to see
country school teachers hired for half
that amount; but the old timers should
reflect that prices of living have adj
vanced and that salaries of school
teachers should be advanced too. Saa-
ries Of public officers and fees for pro-
tessional services should also be in.

Under the circumstances, there is no
serious expectation that the admin.

IL is recalled that the President in his

denounced protittering and promised
legislation would be sought to prevent
it. The House committee on agriculture
took the subject up. Then Southern

war $40 for every month in the service.
The cost to the state viii approx
mate s11, 5S8, 791. %, 1t will be raised

Special extra allotments will be made

This is a creation of the Legislature
which provides for board to be known

Said board is to be empowered to pro-

That's It exactly" the city editor
announced as he kept right on with his
work.

Mona. No matter how arduous her
days work had been. she never gruIa-
bled or asked TO have the extra work
turned over to some one else. If the
men could work night and day, so
could she, she had told herself often,
and she rather gloried In her "stick-
to-itiveness."
A few minutes before she had been
ready to go home for a rest, and she
had felt the need OF It, but now the
prospect Of working on a story that
might develop into something good,
made her feel as fresh as If the day
