COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSEs

This Department unites with other forces in commenting the organiza- tion among neighborhood farmers of Community Clubs and establishing community houses. The school houses in some districts may suffice, espec- ially in consolidated districts; but some kind of community house should be provided to accommodate amuse- ments, entertainments, political meet ings, community fairs, picnics and athletics. Already the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. G., has the history of 300 of such rural clubs which have organized and erect ed community buildings. If you de- sire to know more about it send 10 cents to the Washington Department for copy of Rural Community Buildings in the United States.n Ad- dress Supt. of Documents Govern ment Printing Office, Washington ID. c.

GREAT ADDITION TO MINERAL
 EXHIBIT @

The exhibit hall in the office of Jim G. Ferguson, Commissioner of Agriculture, at Little Rock, Ark. has recently acquired several thous- and specimens, gift to the state from L. c. Gulley, head of the post office edpartment at Camp Pike; and now probably no state in the Union has greater mineral exhibit than that on display at the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture at the State Capitol.
 With MT. Gulley's collection, there have been Is new cases of exhibits recently added to the display. The exhibit rooms being too small it be- came necessary to use the hall ways adjacent to the exhibit rooms. The display is indeed wonderful.
 Not only are Arkansas minerals shown in the Gulley collection, but it includes specimens from other states and countries; yet many of the finest specimens were collected by MT. Gull ley at Magnet Cove, Ark. Here he found within an area of six square miles 376 kinds of minerals, including iron goods 12 inches in diameter. The Indians used the iron oxide, which is often inclosed in the geodes, for mak- ing war paint. There are also frag- ments of peridotite, diamond bearing rock, etc, from Pike county; forma- tions from Carroll county.
 Among the curios are cameos from Madagascar, coral from West Indies; fragment of uncut tiger-eye from Africa and Numidan marble unearth- ed from buried Aztec in Yucatan. The only item not mineral in the ex- hibit IS pair of eagle feathers which were worn by Chief Iron Tail when posed for the original design of the 5-cent peice in 1913. The feathers were given him by the Indian chief on his last visit to Little Rock with Buffalo Bills show.
 Perhaps such a collection could not be purchased for several thousand dollars, and it is fortunate that Com missioner Ferguson succeeding in per suading MT. Gulley to present it to the State. Thousands of people may enjoy and do enjoy, the wofjlerful ex- hibit now to be seen in Arkansas beautiful and magnificent Capitol.

has returned from the New York mar kets, and says he believes the present high prices will not prevail very long.
 The manufacturers will be forced, he said, to lower prices. MT. Heine- mann says in the East the bankers are tightening up on loans, refusing to advance the manufacturers the usu- sl amount of money with which to carry on their business. Thus, he said, the manufacturer is forced to dispose of his goods in order to ob- tain money and when he is forced to place his goods on the market instead of holding them prices are bound to come down.
