TOWNS NEED OF woooLoT
Would Be Paying Proposition in These Days of Railroad Strikes
 and Coal Shortages.

Is there little wOOdlOt in your town? Zurich, Switzerland, has had one working for it for six centuries and it is still paying big dividends. There is great big lesson in this. the American Forestry association of Washington says, in these days of railroad strikes and coal shortages
 Many travellers are familiar with the town forests" of Europe. One of the best known of these is the cOmmu- nal forest belonging to the city of Zurich, in Switzerland. which has an area of 2,840 acres, yielding on the average an annual income of nearly So0,O0O, or about $7.O0 per acre; and this is the most remarkable because most of this income is derived from the sale of firewood. which is perhaps. the cheapest product of forest.
 This tract of forest land has been under management since the year 1909, and it has been steadily increas- ing in value during these six centu- ries, writes Prof. John Bentley, IT,, of Cornell, in the American Forestry Magazine. In this country the num- Der of towns and cities that are prac- ticing forestry is still small. and their efforts have been confined chiefly to the protection of watersheds from which the city's water supply IS drawn.

Billboards Versus Beauty.

Thus it comes about that people who ride out into the country, eager for the rest and refresh.nent which only the open country can give,i find every field and every little hill dotted by V-shaped signs, erected in the most ap- proved fashion, and ornamented with the approved holdings and machine made cOrnices, while the beautiful vis- tas that might otherwise make each turn in the road new delight are cut short by successive examples of the approved "head-On" "showings." One needs but to test his own sensations on such motor ride to know how completely the billboard men are stifling his power to enjoy natural scenic beauty spots." All their scrupies have not preserved to him his native rights in the open country.-Christian Science Monitor.

GARDEN CITIES HELP TRAFFIC
Transference of Part of Population Relieves Congestion on Cars
 in London.

Dense morning fogs have combined with the now chronic congestion of passenger traffic to make Londoners realize too vividly the inconveniences of an over centralized population, re- marks the London Times. London is undoubtedly too large for health, for happiness and for economical living and production; and although the amenities of life in this and other great cities have in some ways been Increased by providing dormitories at a distance from the work room, the problem of daily transit has been pro- portionately intensified.
 Much is to be said for the garden suburb, but even more for the garden city. The two are often confused or falsely identified, but from the point of view of transport the difference be- tween is fundamental. Garden sub urbS represent an extension of the daily traffic of great town to more distant circumference garden cities, a permanent transference of a section of the population to less crowded
 
 center
 Every inhabitant of a garden suburb who works in the city contributes twice a day his or her share to the ever increasing problem of traffic con gestion. The colonist of garden city. on the other hand, definitely relieves the Overcrowded centers of the duty of transporting him to and from his work and catering for him and his. Dwell CTS in garden suburbs are excursion ists; the garden citizen is an emigrant. It is of the nature of the community to which he belongs that he shall not only sup, sleep, breakfast and oc- casionally play lawn tennis and grow beans or roses there. but shall work there as well; and for his reward as a pioneer he escapes the strains anu stretches of the straphanger.

It is hoped and expected that next season a large acreage of sweet pota- toes will be grown in this section next year. The town now has the facll1- +ies to take care of more than 10000 bushels to be marketed up to the fol- lowing spring. Every farm should nave some sweet potatoes for the mar ket. It will give you something to sell. something else from which you may derive money. Don't you wish you had something else to sell now, something that would bring you in some more money ty spring! It would no doubt look like life pre- server to man in deep water. we don't want to fall into the error of expecting too much. Let us figure the thing conservatively. You know that vou can grow from 200 to 300 bushels of potatocs on an acre. Let us say POO. Is that unreasonable? Suppose that when you sell them you get 1oc nor bushel. We are trying to be con- servative, remembering that Ii you sell them at digging time you would likely get less, and by holding them you would likely get more. 20o Du. would bring at 75c, $150 per acre.

Entered 10 postoffice at Ashdown. Arkansas, as second class mail matter

T,.ere is no question in our minds but that the American Cotton Associa- ton has the right idea as to the busi- ness way of marketing the cotton crop. That is to warehouse the crop and sell it throughout the season instead of all during the fall months. The wheat grower sells his product in that way very largely, and every wheat com munity has large storage elevator at his loading station into which the
 wheat goes at harvest. But before tbe
 south can adopt this system as reg ular system we must gradually change cur methods so that the farm will be more self sustaining. When a man borrows the money to make crop and his notes fall due at harvest tune, nothing is left him but to sell and pay his obligations. It sinners down largely to a personal matter first We must get our own individual houses in order The new method is sound and is a thing to work toward. Since we must have starting point some where now would appear to be good time. In course of time the system may be developed to the point where if will make of this section a great and a prosperous one. One trouble with us is that we expect too much in too short a time, and if our hopes are not immediately realized we fall back into the old paths We cannot wholly change marketing system that has been practiced for generations in year. It will take time, persistency,

F. M. F. CLUB MET
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cobb Entertained
 Club November 18th.

The F. M, F. CluU OI ASuQOWn, or several years standing, whose mem bership is composed exclusively of married people. were delightfully."- en- tertained, according to custom, in an all-night session at Mir and Mrs. Gro yer Cobb's Friday night November 19.
 MT Cobb was the goat of the even evening. Several days before, he had bought one of Americas s largest nat ional birds and had it, as he thought. safely jailed for Thanksgiving. By previous arrangement of all the mem bers. of the club (except MT. Cobb this bird made his escape two days before the meeting of the club and, when he returned home at evening from his work, he discovered it's escape and found where he went through the fence. His neighbors were notified of its escape and their back yards search ed. Many inquiries for the lost bird were made of those who came to MT. Cobbs desk at the Oil Mill and several negroes had been sent out to search for it, but with no avail. As the darkness on the nineteenth, he plodded his way home bearing forlOrn hope for his proud bird. Approaching his beautiful residence he noticed it was brilliantly lighted everywhere and he entered the house unmindful of the meaning of it's beautiful decorations and many bright lights and passed into the dining room and there to his amazement beheld his lost bird, the pride of American fowls, adorning the center of the table and surrounded by many thing delicious to the human tongue; and sitting around the table grooming with such luxuries, were the members of the F. M. F. club except the lawyer member who was to return at II o'clock from Weatherford, Texas, where he had gone on mission of his dloO MI D. CdiA VI IOAS AOA few months absent from the city. MT Cobb brooded no longer.
 The evening was one of continuous pleasure and happiness. The dinner was the center of attraction for the first hour. Then jokes and games, yes even of childhood followed for two or three hours. At eleven o'clock, all went in MT. Jones Super Hudson for the incoming member and, as he step- ped off the train, the chivalrous men gave him the seat of honor among the greatest of the the club-the fair women He did his part, even at the late hour, by the proud bird for he had refused to eat for twenty-four hours, knowing what awaited his return.
 Boston Rock was the exciting game until one a. m. Then one hour before going to slumber land was given to recounting the days of yore, the origin of the club in the mountains of Okla home, and discussing the value of that tie, which played such great part in the building of America-friendshi and of course, we did not and could not forget Miss Pearle.
 Life, after all, even in this busy age, is worth while if you make it so, and you can make it so with friendship.
 Those presene were the hosts, MT. and Mrs. Grover Cobb, MT. and Mrs. c. A. Bishop, Judge and Mrs. l.. T. Jones, and MT. ard Mrs. Seth c. Reynolds.

intelligence and guts. One beauty about meat hogs IS that when the market is down or up the pork tastes just as good.
 If the ducks and quail had been h. formed about Thanksgiving they would have spent the day in the hills, TOT the lakes and rivers and fields were fairly swarming with men and boys with guns all day. After the big days hunt the game will have season of quiet.
