OLD JAIL SUPPORTS RED CROSS
 REST ROOM
City Fathers Try to Play Joke on Women of Hope, but Ladies are
 Too Clever For Them

When the city fathers of Hope were asked for assistance by the Hope Red Cross in establishing a rest room for farmers wives, they replied that the city finances were too low to offer money, but that they might have the dilapidated, unsanitary jail building which had been abandoned. The offer was accepted.
 While the offer was made in spir- it of facetiousness, it was accepted in good faith, for the women behind the movement to secure the rest rooms knew where they could rent the old building. Within two days after the iail was turned over to them they had rented it as a warehouse for $3O0.00 year, and had contracted for three rooms on the main street of Hope.
 The front room, papered and paint ed in a brown color scheme, IS used as reception room. The second room in blue, is fitted with children's beds and other equipment for nursery. The third room is fully equipped as a diet kitchen. The apartment IS ln charge of a practical nurse, and dur ing the past month 787 women of the country surrounding Hope visited the rooms. They use the apartment to rest while in town shopping and leave their babies there in charge of the nurse, and once month attend the health talks made by the physicians in Hope.
 The Hope rest room is only one of the many institutions of the Red Cross in Arkansas, and Miss Harmon Noo- nan, Executive Secretary for the Fourth Annual Red Cross Roll Call, has expressed the belief that this years Roll Call will show many new members interested in the work.

feel keenly the effects of it. What will it profit Southern business when cotton scars to high prices in the spring, if it is in the hands of specu- lators in New England? The buying power of the South will not be in creased one whit, unless we keep cot ton here. Southern business men can profit themselves if they will advise and urge their farmer-customers to hold their cotton, and back this advice up by helping them finance it at req sonable rates. In this case the selfish view is also the. broad view.
 A good example has been set by B B. Conner, of Alabama, who not on- ly urges farmers to hold cotton, but has put up $2O0,000 to enable them to hold it. The small town, country and city bankers should make it their business now to see that adequate money is available in every commun- ity to finance the holding of all the cotton there.-The Progressive Farm CT.
The Carlisle independent., 1920-11-11
BANKERS AND MERCHANTS SHOULD HELP HOLD COTTON

Southern bankers, merchants and manufacturers should throw them selves into the fight for better cotton prices, and for adequate credits to en- able Southern farmers to hold cotton until the demand forces the price up to fair figure. Nobody realizes more keenly than the merchant that, when farmers are without money, his goods remain on the shelves while he tries to. hold off his creditors. Nobody real izes more keenly than banker that a broke cotton farmer is poor custo- mer for his bank.
 If the cotton growing South suffers the losses it will be forced to stand ii this crop of cotton has to be sold at anything like present prices, every body from the secondhand furniture dealer on the side street to the auto mobile manufacturers in Detroit will

POOR BREEDING KEEPS PRICES
 OF CATTLE LOW

Market prices for a large per cent of cattle is determined by the price of hides and canned meats, states T. Roy Reid, live stock marketing agent of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 "This fact is serious indictment against the present type of cattle kept on the average farm," continues MT. Reid.
 Figures compiled by the Bureau of Crop Estimates show that only 31.9 per cent of Arkansas cattle are of the dairy type while more than 25 per cent are nondeseripts. These figures give one reason for the low farm and market valuation of Arkansas beef cattle. Good animals of the classes and grades demanded by the meat trade cannot be produced from such nondescript breeding.
 "Since the average ratio is one bull to 19 cows, rapid improvement in type and quality can be secured by the use of good, smooth, blocky bulls on the average cow Cattle with a meat making conformation can be produced from such a cross and the market will pay the price for these better an- imals.
 "The present depressed condition of the cattle market has been reflected in the market for breeding stock, thus making it a good time to pur- chase bulls. The fact that fewer cat tie are being bred and that fewer steers are being put on feed indicates that there will be later demand for

BRooMs FROM PINE NEEDLES
said to Be an Excellent Substitute for
the Bristles Now Used, and VIII
Last Longer.

One of the latest discoveries Is a
new use for pine needles. 1t has been
found that the needles Of the pine
make a fair substitute for brlstles In
brushes and brooms. They are found
In great quantities on the ground in
fir forests, md, owing to the large
amount Of silica In them, they are
hard, and do not decay rapidly.
The pine needles are dealt with In
two ways. Where they are long they
are simply punched together and tied
firmly, and a stick Is pushed down the
center as n handle.
The other plan is to insert clusters
of smaller needles In holes in thick
ism piece of wood. These holes. are
filed with hot pitch. and when this
material has set bard and dry the pine
needles are held firmly In place.
Elaborate tests have shown that
pine needles wear well. They are not
more easily broken than much Of the
material which has been commonly
used. IN Recommending. and. owing to
their hardness. they can withstand Q

does not become too wet and the
plants damp-off. Five hundred plants
will be sufficient for the ordinary FAM
lily. They should be set 9 inches apart
In rows to 5 feet apart.
Celery requires deep, rich, moist
soil, with plenty of well-rotted BARN
yard manure or fertilizer and frequent
shallow cultivation. In the garden,
celery may be planted after some ear
ly crop, such as lettuce, radishes,
peas or beans. As soon as the plants
attain considerable size the leaves
should be drawn up and little soil
compacted about their bases to hold
them upright. If the blanching Is
done with earth, care should be taken
that the hearts Of the plants do not be-
come filed. Boards, paper, draintiles,
or anything that will exclude the light
may be used for blanching; but earth
ing up will produce the finest flavor.
Celery may be kept for winter use
by banking with earth and covering
the tops with leaves or straw to keep
1t from freezing, or 1t may be dug and
removed to cellar coldframe, vacant
hotbed, or pit, and reset close together,
with the roots bedded In earth. While
in storage celery should be kept as
cool as possible without freezing.
The blanched stems Of celery are
eaten in the raw state, and both the
stems and enlarged roots are stewed
and creamed. Celery seed is used for
fiavoring soups and pickles.
Celeriac is a large-rooted form OF
celery used for cooking only. Guilt
yate the same as celery, but banking
or blanching is not required. The
roots may remain in the ground until
wanted for use provided light cover
ing Is applied to prevent freezing.

Spinach is one of the best crops
grown for greens and should be found
In every home garden. In the North
1t may be planted in early spring, or
1t can be planted in the autumn and
carried over winter by mulching with
straw or leaves. Sow the seeds of
spinach in drills foot apart at the
rate Of ounce to 100 feet of row or
10 to - pounds to the ac.e. To pro-
duce good spinach, rich loan which
win give the plants quick growth
is required. As ordinarily grown,
spinach occupies the land during the
autumn and winter only and does not
interfere with summer cultivation.
Spinach Is an easily grown garden
crop, and there is, perhaps, no other
Of its kind that will give as good sat
isfaction. Three or four ounces Of
seed planted in the autumn after a
summer crop has been harvested from
the land, will produce an abundance
of greens for the average family dur
ing the late autumn and early spring.
In gathering spinach, the entire plant
Is removed and not the leaves. The
larger plants are selected first, and
the smaller or later ones are thus
given room TO develop. No thinning
is required If this plan Of harvest
ing is practiced.
The Savoy is the variety most COM
monty grown.
Chard.
Chard, or Swiss chard, Is a beet
which is grown for its foliage instead
Of Its root. The leaves are cooked
and used in very much the same way
as asparagus. One of the good points
about this vegetable is that crop after
crop of leaves may be cut without In
juring the plant.
Chard is planted about the same
time and In the same manner as ,beets,
but as the top grows larger II should
be given more space than the garden
beet. The edible part Of this plant is
the root, (which somewhat resembles
the carrot and Is used In the same
manner. The leaves are used the same
/ as parsley for garnishing and in fla
voring soups.
