Put Your County to the Front at the
 Centennial Fair

Arkansas is chiefly an agricui- tural State, it's half a billion dol> lar annual crop production ex- ceeding in value the output of all it's mines and manufactures, yet the industries are important to l the prosperity of the State. cre- ating in new wealth many mil lions of dollars annually. giving employment to thousands of men and furnishing market for the output of the farm.
 Many of the upland counties are rich in mineral resources, not alone in variety but in quail ty and quantity. These same counties have a great assortment of timber products and numer ouS mills and factories where this tim Der is made into lumber, slaves. handles, spokes and even into lead pencils. If these prod ucts. refectlng the resources of the bill country. are. not display ed at the Centennial Fair in Lit tie Rock, Nov. 17 22, northern and western Arkansas will miss an opportunity to advertise one of the best parlS of Arkansas.
 Clay, kaolin. sand, gravel. as phaltum, chalk and limestone. materials which enter into the composition of brick, pottery, glass. paving and adapted to many industrial uses, are pres ent in large quantities in some of the central and southern coun- ties of the State and in instances are turned into finished prod ucts where they are taken from the ground. These minerals would form an exhibit equally as interesting as that of coal and bauxite and will serve at the Centennial to put upon the map counties of Arkansas about which the world may know very little.
 In the more exclusively agri- cultural counties of the State where attention is mostly given to the growing of crops. if there are not mineral deposits there are great rice mills, cotton seed oil plants and lumber industries.
 What would form more in teresting feature at the Centen nial than an exhibit demonstra tive of the process of milling rice, showing the methods of producing oil from cotton seed and displaying collections of the hardwoods and pine produced by eastern or southern Arkan. sas mills?
 The idea is that we should have at the Centennial a repre- sentative display of our re sources, agricultural, mineral and industrial, and there isn't a county in the State that may not take pride in some particular thing iu which it can claim the right to excell The county ex hibit will be incomplete without all of the resources beingsrepre>

Advertising Rice

l heSdfulnS the rice aQVertlSlng campaign the New Orleans Times Picayune says:
 The advantage and indeed necessity of advertising was never better recognized than it Is today. Many of the states ana cities have realized this and are now spending liberally on advertisements, and leading ag- ricultul al industries are adopt ing the same policy The Ma tional Rice association, in ses, sion in this city and which has made it's Headquarters here. has determined to expend a million dollars in advertising rice as the best means of increasing the consumption of the Sou thern ce real and thus preventing any losses from overproductior. The proposition came from Califor- nia. which has only recently gone into rice growing, and is doing well with it. No state un derstands and appreciates ad- vertising more than Califol mia, which has made splendid ven ture in this line with it's citrus fruits.
 Advertising rice is not a nov. city. The South, while it alone was interested in the crop, tried the experiment of presenting be. fore the country the advantages and merits of rice as food. and met with great success, We had found that the use and consump tion of that cereal per capita had so declined that the United States was using less rice than any other country in the world. and less than it did a century ago. Because of this decline in our consumption we could not increase the acreage, without loss, although there were many thousands of acres available. for any increase in the crop caused oyerproduction and led to prices so low as to make cultivation un- profitable.
 A vigorous campaign was or ganized to overcome these weak nesses. After a careful study, the conclusion was reached that rice was not used as a food as much as it should be.or as much as of old, because the great ma jority of housewives did not know how to cook it properly It was determined, therefore. to start campaign to advertise rice and to show it's merits; that it was one of the most nutritious of foods and most appetizing and enjoyable if properly prepared. Rice kitchens were established in many of our leading cities, where the people were taught how to prepare and cook the ce- real. Cookbooks were issued, giving directions on the subject and hotels, railroads and steam ship companies were interested and persuaded to serve rice at all their meals and to keep it al. ways on their menus.
 The result was most satisfac tory. The merits of rice were soon better understood and the country taught to use more of it. The war gave it great impetus. Rice was used in the army with complete success, and was liked by the soldiers. The general public found it satisfactory, and because of the shortage and high price of other food products, rice rose to importance as food There was a natural advance in

whip, who took issue with the recent

Senator Reed spoke briefly when
Senator Lewis concluded. He said
that if the Illinois members argument
was correct, the league would not
have power to limit American arnla-
ment, and added:
"If that is the case, the chief ar
gument for the league is Withdrawn
and the chief reason for its existence
does not appear to exist
Senator Lewis digresseI greatly
from his prepared address. He an
aiyzed in detail the arguments of Sen
atcrs Borah and Peed and also de-
clared that in May, 1876, Republican
Leader Lodge had spoken in support
of the league plan.
Replying to the argument that the
league would contrdyene the Monroe
doctrine, Senator Lewis declared that
by the very plan OF the society the
world would guarantee that doctrine.
