Arkansas and settled on the Ouachita river. When barely grown timber mans logging crew drew the money to pay the hands for rafting large lot of logs down the river and skip ped with it. As the logs were going to waste, he wrote to the man, who came up at once, but could do noth- ing with them. Though Mir. Harry was then only boy, the man asked him to do the best he could with them, which he accepted on condi- ton that he furnish the cash to pay for the hands. The man gave him the money and he went to an old negro, who understood all about rafting, as he himself had never even been on a raft before. The old ne- gro was a cripple also, but accepted after he learned MT. Harry would pay for the work, though none of the negroes would work for the own CT. Mir. Harry told the old man that he knew nothing about the work, but could soon learn and that he wanted him to holler out whenever he saw anything needed and he would do all he could to help. The logs were rafted as soon as a sufficient crew of negroes were gotten together to do the work. Rafting consists in fastening the logs together with poles in one long string. Then they were cut up into short blocks of logs, after which they were fastened to- gether in square and a house built on the raft, then hoated down the river. Not log was lost on the trip, but when they got to their destina- tion, the man who had contracted for the logs could not take them because the market for logs had collapsed completely. He wrote to the owner. about this, who wrote back for him to do the best he could with them. The best re could do was to get $350 for $l,800 worth of logs,
 From this beginning he and his brother went to rafting their own logs. The big mill where they sold them was having trouble getting its logs rafted down at a cost of over dollar per thousand and the manager noticing his success in rafting from a distance away above where their logs came from, asked him what it would cost him to raft them. He replied that 1t cost nothing much above their time, hardly ten cents thousand. The manager was not sat isfied with this answer, but asked him to come around that night and talk with him, which he did. On his next trip the manager asked more about his work, and on the next trip of fered him the job of getting his logs down. He asked how many feet he had, which ran up to a million or more, and then asked him how he wanted them rafted. The manager told him that they had been rafting down so many thousand feet at a time. He asked him why not raft them all at once. The manager did not think that could be done. He, however, told him he could faft all at one time as easy as a part of them. The manager told him to go ahead and bring them that way then. Upon inquiring he learned the mill did not own a gasoline launch and told the manager he could go around the raft three or four times in one of them while rowing around it once in a skiff. As the mill did not have time to order one he rented them his for Sl0 a day, but the next year the mill bought one for $3,500. He received $l25 a month for his services. He

A word of explanation IS due the Jacksonville people about my write up of their fair, by which I hope the other fairs will profit next year. In writing up the other fairs l always kept in view the fact that the suc- ceeding fairs would profit by my write-ups, and for that reason 1 used up Jacksonville's allotment of space largely on the other fairs, as an ad- yertisement for them. These write ups and my attendance at all the fairs have been very expensive to both the Pulaskian and myself. The space used for them in the Pulaskian alone running to over $l00 a week, which is a free gift by the publishers of the Pulaskian, made freely, with out even being requested of them by the fairs. They simply printed all I sent in, then at my solicitation printed the lists of awards, furnished by the county agents and other mat ter voluntarily. Mir. Sargent per- sonally acknowledged the benefit of this service to the agents and the fairs and requested the people at the Jacksonville fair to extend their thanks to me for same. More than thanks is due The Pulaskian for this service, liberal subscription Is due them as well as a larger amount of advertising.
 The County Agents.
 Messrs. J. W. Sargent, Earl w. Smith and Miss Minnie Allen, our county agents, are due full credit for originating the fairs, promoting them and getting them up. In this work, the movie show has been of the greatest assistance and not only that the movie show has served to popularize all the works of the agents and the fairs have added im- mensely to their influence. Demon stration work by them near Jackson vile has resulted in such great in- creases in the yields of cotton and

Hardly mile further on I stop ped at P. C. Hardcastle's and took dinner. It rained the night before
 and l did not see the need of hurry- ing on through the mud, when I could visit at nice place and let the mud dry up.
 After dinner 1 found such very interesting piece of limestone, full of seashells, in the road, that I stop ped at the farm home, on which I found it, and inquired of the lady. Mrs. Napoleon Wilkins, concerning the deposit. She told me I would hnd more interesting specimens just beyond their barn, and suggested that 1 look at them, which I did. Upon my return l met MT. Wilkins and he took me back and showed me over 1t more thoroughly. He had a piece of it analysed and said it was pronounced a complete fertilizer. This rock if ground up and put on the land would double and quad fuple the yield of corn all over Pu- lask !; county.

OUTLAY FOR RURAL ROADS
AND BRIDGES INCREASES

During the calendar year 1919, 46
States of the Union expanded over
s400. 900. 900 on their rural roads and
of the United States Department of
Agriculture recently announced. This
total is male up of the actual cash
expenditures for such items as labor,
materials, supervision, and admins
tration. amounting to 1888. ASS. .931.
and convict labor and statute labor.
the value of which. not definitely
known. is estimated at about $780,
100000. So far as possible. all expen-
ditures on city streets within incor-
porated towns and cities and all items
of sinking-fund payments or the re-
demption and interest payments on
road and bridge Bonds have been ex-
cluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase of appro-
Simately 33s per cent over those of
1918 and 20 per cent over those of
1914. More striking. however. is the
increase in the proportion of the total
funds supervised by the several State
highway departments. In 1918 the en-
penditures by or under the supervi-
sion of the State highway departments
amounted to 17.2S5.26S. while the
local road funds. over which they ex-
ercised no control whatever. amoun-
ted to s16S.S12,925. In 1919. however.
the State highway departments su.
pervised the expenditure of $780,
292.694 as against the total of $751;
162.2S7 expended by the local road
and bridge authorities.

have been made with Walter McCaf-
ferty for the use of the McCafferty
builing for the factory which, Walt
says. is big enough for him with the
present force and the addition of
some machinery to put out 1000
markers a year. By adding more
equipment and a shed for storage and
more men, he could put out several
thousand year.
1t has been practically decided to
take over the stock of steel on hand

IRON AND STEEL NOW
 BADLY NEEDED IN RUMANIA

JASSY, Rumania, June 25- Ru- mania is badly in need of iron and steel. For nearly seven years steel and iron imports have been far below nor nal. All reserve stocks were used up during the war. For reconstruction purposes hundreds of thousands of tons are needed.
 Hitherto the German and TranSyl- vanan furnaces have furnished most of Rumania'S steel. However, all of Rumania'S needs could be met if Am. ericans developed her iron mines. There are rich undeveloped deposits both in old Rumania and in Transyl- vannia, especially along the Carpath. ianS. Other iron ore deposits of an eX' ploitable importance are in the Do- brudja.
