TRY THIS FOR CURING
 HOME GROWN MEAT

A method of curing pork at home which has been proven first class in the South for generations was recent ly recommended by MT. CottreH 10 Arkansas farmers. Not only does this method teach thrift, but it keeps meat, and gives a different flavor than meat can have which is packed ill salt
 MT Cottrell's directions are as fol- lows:
 A day should be selected for kill ing when the temperature is low enough to insure thorough cooling by the following morning, the hogs being dressed and hung over night.
 On the morning of the day the hogs are killed, for each 400 pounds of meat make a brine as follows: 20 gallons of rain water. 30 pounds of salt, ounces of baking soda, 10 pounds of brown sugar, 1 gallon of molasses( use good molasses, not the adulterated kind). This fluid shoull be boiled and skinned in the morn ing and left to cool in a shady place. When cool, add ounces of saltpe- ter. Dissolve the saltpeter in warm water and stir thoroughly.
 The following morning cut up the hogs as usual, and pack in barrels. Put the sides of the meat or mid ding in the bottom and the should CTS next and the hams on top of these, all with the skin side down. Weight the meat down we'll and pour the brine over until the meat is com pletely covered. Then cover the top of the barrel with some good thick covering that will prevent evapora- tion
 Look at the meat often enough to see that the brine has not evaporat- ed so as to leave any meat exposed. If it should become exposed more brine should be added. The meat can be left in the brine indefinitely, but if it is desired to smoke the meat, it should be taken out in about six weeks.

ANOTHER DEAD BOY ALIVE.

Earl Billingsley, son of MT. and Mrs. c. F. Billingsley of Bauxite, who was some time ago reported dead in France, is very much alive and has been given the Distinguished Order. Instead of having been killed by the Huns he was captured by them and afterward made his escape. Mearl Billingsley, brother of Earl, was al- so in battle and was wounded last July. He was in hospital for more than two months. These two brave sons of Arkansas parents are expect ed home soon.
 Sergeant Earle Billingsly was one of the first volunteers from Bauxite. His title for bravery is told in the words extraordinary heroism." He advanced against q terrific fire of an enemy machine gun nest which was hold ing out stubbornly, and single handed captured a German and put the Huns companions to route ai though he had already received a wound.

NEW SI,OOO,OOO
 AUTOMOBILE PLANT
THE CLIMBER MOTOR FACTORY LOCATES ON 20 ACRE SITE
 IN LITTLE ROCK

The third largest industry in tue United States is that of making and distributing automobiles, an industry netting $960,000,000 annually in prof it's.
 The history of profit making in the automobile business reads like the fairy story where magic wand way ed B certain way changed common earth into pots of gold. Yet 1t is true that S100 invested in Ford stock 12 years ago has returned to the inves- tor during this period, $250.000. This is the reeord-breaking return on S100 investments in automobile stock, but the Overland, the Hup. the Chevro- let and many other well known autos have returned wonderful profits to stockholders
 The state of Arkansas invests mil. lions of dollars annually in automo- piles and as good roads are built and the farming interests are developed, the demand for motor vehicles of ev-s cry kind is going to treble in the next few years.
 The Climber Motor Corporation is the first automobile manufacturing plant to locate in Arkansas. It will give employment to hundreds Of workmen. It will keep millions of dollars at home that now goes to oth- CT states directly in wages and sal- aries and indirectly in profits on mo- tor vehicles. It will bring money to, the state for as announced by this company | number of adjoining states have already put considerabel money into the Little Rock plant
 The factory site in Little Rock is on East 17th street, where ground has been cleared on twenty acres and foundation footings dug.
 George Schoeneck, chief engineer of the Climber Motor Corporation left Little Rock Wednesday morning for the northeast to purchase machjn- cry for the manufacture and assem- bling of automobiles. H. F. Buhler, general sales agent for Arkansas am nounces that the factory will proba bly be in operation within the next ninety days.

DOUBLE DEATH AT HALsTEAD.

Influenza claims it's victims in greater numbers than any epidemic known in this country since the days when yellow fever ravaged the South. Numerous cases have been reported where several members of one family have succumbed to the disease and in a few instances whole families have died. At Halstead on last Tuesday both MT. and Mrs. R. B. Christian passed away the same day as the result of influenza. MT. Chris tian died at ' p. m. Mrs. Christian died at 4 D. m. They were young peo- pie with bright prospects in life. Both leave parents and brothers and sis ters to mourn their loss.

ONE THOUSAND
 IN ATTENDANCE
MOVEMENT FOR PROFITABLE FARMING GETS BIG SEND
 OFF AT MEETING.

One thousand business men from all parts of Arkansas assembled in the convention hall of the Hotel Ma rion on Wednesday to devise ways and means to increase the value of the agricultural products of the state $500, ,000,000 during the next five years.
 The meeting from every point was a tremendous success and points to a new day for the farmers of Arkan- sas The keynote address was de- livered by H. M. Cottrell who said that in order to realize the great goal of the campaign it is necessary that the income of every farm family in Arkansas shall make $500 more this year than it did last year. "They cannot" he said, hope or expect to do this without the encouragement of the business men,"
 He gave specific details as to how this $500 increase can be brought about this year. He said that the average farm family in Arkansas | ton in 1918. He said that six bales should be produced on the same acre age next year. This can be done, he said, by preparing the land better, by planting higher-yielding, cultivat- ing more thoroughly and two to three, weeks later than usual.
 He said that every family should l have one more brood SOW, which should have two filters a year, thus furnishing 12 fat hogs to sell Half the weight of the hogs could be made from Bermuda pasture, he said. Some grain should be fed every day, and the hogs could be fattened on sweet potatoes and peanuts or soy beans.
 The planting of soy beans or velvet beans nthe rows of corn or cowpeas between the raws, was another of his suggestions for increasing the farmers income. The planting of four gardens a year and the raising of more sorghum were other sugges- tions.
 MT. Cottrell also urged the busi- ness men to encourage the use of i'm proved farm implements as a means of enabling the farmers to improve the labor shortage which he said will be more acute this year than it | was in 1918
 At the afternoon session an appeal was made by Mrs. Sutton, who con ducts farm near Cotton Plant, for support in securing a better law for the regulation of dogs. She told of her efforts to raise sheep and goats, and of how her focks had been slaughtered by the hundreds by the Hundreds by worthless cur dogs that roam the country.
 At the close of her appeal, Chair man E. J. Bodman asked how many would support Mrs. Sutton in her ef- forts to secure the passage of a ber- ter dog law by the legislature, and the audience arose to it's feet as one man.
 An instructive feature of the after noon session was the display of mo- tion pictures showing the raising of beef cattle and hogs on the prosper ous farms of the North.

BIG SALE AT sao PER ACRE.

Three hundred and sixty acres of land known as the Adams place at Kerr Station was sold last week to James Burnett and E. F. Cheek of Atkins for $2S.SO0, or $50 per acre. The sale was made by L. c. Holman, manager of the real estate depart ment of the Southern Trust Company. This land has been sold five times netting each respective owner a good profit on the sale. It is considered a valuable tract.

 Unless special provision is made by this legislature, Arkansas will have no literature descriptive of the re- sources of the state that it can place in the hands of these earnest home hunters from other states.

man ought to have foIr hands to keep
within the schedule he made money
on his labor"
What degree of truth there may be
in this statement Is hardly worth
measuring, since it is particular. But
the generalization would seem to be
that employers in too many instances
view with intense interest the bulk of
their output and with fainter interest
the human element that entered into
It's production.
The Mechanics Workmen's Union
brings no indictment OF this kind
against employers and its representa-
tives were noncommittal on subjects
connected with labor especially when
these tended to call out reflections on
employers and employed. But on the
question of driving as general prop
osition ii was easier to find out the
prevailing opinion. This was eN-
pressed by an officer of the union cam
didly and with apparent fairness, He
attributed the evil to conditions as
they have been made by the war.
Thus both sides of the picture have
been glanced at. Where the pace is
set as has been mentioned the evil
will certainly wear itself out. No fac
tory carried on under such stress can
be long lived
An old story was turned up in these
Investigations, but IT is one that con-
talns the germ which polsons the en-

ternational renown exactly opposite
conditions as Indicated above were
observed. The men in the gigantic
repair section were working, 1t is true,
steadily, but without the appearance OF
rush noticeable in other factories. The
superintendent said:
"A dozen years ago or so our aim
was to get the work out as quickly as
possible and we went by quantity.
But in this business OF repair of our
own machine we found that policy
was fatal. Either the machine We
turned out was brought back within a
short time to be overhauled again or
our output was pronounced bad and
the statement reflected on our sales.
We find IL is wisdom to give our work
men plenty of time to do a job thor
oughly and without rushing. 1t saves
the workman and also the machine"

this is found. the projectors say. In the
complaint OF owners that when they

are kept out of them for weeks or
months and often the work to be done
is not of a serious character.

word to them that except in excep-
tional cases they can have the finished

to work under such conditions that

The prison keeper in the employ of
our city receives salary OF anywhere
from 5000 to $1,000, depending on his
years of service. He is as rule a
man OF family. The high rents and
living require him frequently to live
in the suburbs. He must report for
duty at A. NJ. To arrive on time
he must arise at around 4:S0 to 5
A. M, get his breakfast and his trolley
or train. Travelling long distances in
crowded trains is strain in itself
Yet the keeper must suffer it, When
he arrives at the prison he must make
his count, that is to say. he must see
that all the men that are charged
against him on his tier are in their
cells. He must also scrutinize every
thing to. see that all is safe and secure
and that no bars have been sawed dur
ing the night. He must see that the
men are fed.
In this work he must supervise a

he. I'VE don't ask any man to work

There is a firm of Englishmen on
Wall street who supply British made
tools to shops that require them and
from these men an opinion was asked
in regard to hurry up manufacturing
and repair work. They confidently pro-
nounced against it. One of the firm
said:

in order to turn out worth while prod

of the fact that we invariably use
only the best materials. Nobody is
