Today thru w. A. Warrington Of
Mena was the biggest land sale that
has been made in Polk county for
some time. 760 acres sold for $50, 900.
This land was in Yell county, but a
Polk county man bought it. Now is
the time to buy a farm or home. Ev-
cry man should own home and raise
something to eat. Nothing will pull
down the high cost of living sooner
than when every man gets to be a
producer. What we want today is
men to produce. Put more land into
cultivation Raise more stock, Raise
more stuff to eat. Buy home products
Kill and cure your own meat Raise
your own wheat and corn. Save your
own feed. Too many farmers neglect
to. save their feed and feed your stock
during the winter months, and see
what a difference it makes on your
stocks growth next year There is

Monday morning the sun was
bright and the farmers were busy N
the fields picking cotton, and the mer-
)chants was all busy opening up new
goods, getting ready for the rushing
business that Cove will have this
week. The high price of cotton puts
Ilots of money in the country, and
when the farmer has plenty Of money
that makes good trade among the
merchants. Several homes in Cove
have changed hands this week and
more people are expecting to buy
homes in Cove soon We need more
homes in Cove. Let us build new
homes to rent and make Cove grow.

Price of cotton in Cove this week
was 40 cents. Why not bring your
cotton to Cove-the best market, the
best gin, the best town in this part Of
Polk county. Our gin runs ever day.
Our cotton buyers are busy all the
time, and the reason why that cotton
ginned at Cove is worth one cent per
pound more is that we have all new
machinery, ur-to-date improvements
the best system, the best cleaning, the
best cotton presser. All this makes
our cotton worth 1c more. Bring
your cotton to Cove.

mating that the Turk would stay
there forever Gas in virgii's First

two thousand years ago, Of the I'M

But the Nile now flows into Pales-

Canadian engineer) the sweet water
of the Nile is filtered and started
on its journey through a Pinch pipe
across the desert toward GAIA. The
mound of sand that protests it is
visible a few yards from the railroad
all the way from the Suez to the
edge Of Palestine. And the Turk has
been driven from Jerusalem by the
game forces that caused the woter
