in the Elks' hall The Minnulala
team from Denver displayed In
dian costumes and made very
good imitation Of real Indians in
the parade, giving the war whoop
'neverything. The Blazing Ar

nished the music and the parade,
as a whole, was the ''best ever.''
A sumptuous hot supper was
served to 150 Redmen at $50, and
again at midnight the members
and visitors were refreshed with
tempting lunch.
About 35 candidates were given
the mysteries of the ORDER" the
work being put on by the Minnu-
lata order of Redmen of Denver,
who did it quito creditablv. a
number of visitors accompanied
the Denver team. and members of

1t will be favor to the Denver Post

begun, it is hard to get collections made
so if you nave not paid this month, it
will be greatly appreciated if you will do
this. 1t is not much trouble for each in
dividuai to call andpay at the office, but
it is rather difficult for collector to
call at oeer 200 places for 65 cents each.
If you can't pay att the office, please
have yonr money ready when the collect
er calls, as it tax a great deal of time
if he has to return for the money.

Food Prices Should Not Be Reduced at the Expense of
 the Farmers

Many city district attorneys and politicians are busy trying to force the price of a farm products down, and their efforts are all di- rected against the farmers who toll with their wives and childen for long hours in ithe heat and cold. Not a words is said by these politicians about cutting the pro- fits of middlemen or about reduc- ing the wages of the laborers in the cities. Grocer clerks, meat market men. milk wagon drivers. the drivers of food delivery wag- ons and others make as much in a few hours as the farmer make in a l2 or Il hour day.
 Evidently these politicians want to reduce the price of farm products wholly at the expense of the farmers. All classes of city laborers are striking for shorter hours and more pay, but the po- liticans are silent. The city labor CTS are organized and know how to deal with politician. The far mers are also rapidly organizing and will probably put some of these politicians on the farms to help relieve the labor shortage at an early date. The Progressive Farmer.

Cooperative Shipments Save Farmers SIP, 768

During the year from July l, 1920. farmers in Arkansas have made cooperative shipments of live stock amounting to 359 cars with r total saving of SIP, 7S8 to those who have had animals in these shipments, according to figures compiled by T. Roy Reid. live stock marketing agent of the Extension Division. Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 These figures represent coope- rative shipments to the central markets during the year and the saving above the highest prices offered on the local markets. The movement of cattle to market for the present has just begun and the indications are that the greater percent of cattle will be sold in cooperative shipments.
 During the last year IA cars of hogs were shipped coopera- lively with a saving of $45, 26O; 176 cars of cattle with saving of $26, 92S and eight cars of sheep with a saving of $500.

Waterworks or Electric Light for the Cost of a Team
 of Mules

You can put running water in your home, or put in electric lights. eather one. for the price of a team of mules or a low-price- ed automobile" So says J. /. Green. and his statement gives a pretty clear idea of the situation. Roughly speaking eather water works or lighting system will cost $4OO to $l.OOO It depends upon the system selected, the kind of fixtures used and how much of work is done by the farmer him. self.
 The wiring for e six.room house should cost around $75. This app roximate cost add to the cost of the plant selected wonld be the total cost for electric lights. Plumbing for tbe Nome, include ing cost of installing. should cost around $500 for kitchen and bath room. This estimate includes bath tub ,commode. lavatory, kitchen sink, and hot water tank. It will also be necessary to have a septic tank. which the farmer himself can build at a small cost. These itoms wonld make lthe total cost of a waterworkslsystem.
 If both waterworks and ligdt- ing plants are ordered at the same time through the same deal CT, the total cost will be still less than here indicated.

At a doctors convention the in

At a doctors convention the in- fant death rate was discussed. One expert said that many babies died for lack of proper care at birth. The old-fashioned nurse who thinks she knows more than the family doctor and disobeys his orders was blamed for many deaths of babies and defects found in children. During the World war drafts boards and ex- amining doctors found one-third of our boys unfit for service. If the same conditions exist among women as men. it is high time that some decided action be taken to halt this drift toward decline and decay of our race.
 There is some opposition to health and physical inspection of pupils in public schools.
 Our country certainly does not desire to keep it's place at the bot tom of nations in rank of neglect ing the baby.
 Doctors are inclined to think this neglect of proper care of baby is greater in rural districts and small towns than in the city Think it over. Some baby of to- day must be president of the United States tomorrow.

Some Russellville Jottings.

am writing these in hopes they will be of benifit to some of the farmers. They will include some of the things picked up in classroom from day to day. For instance,
 There is seed corn and seed corn. The laws of breeding hold good just the same among plants as with animals. a femal that was fertilized by pollen from a barren stalk will probably pro- duce a barren stalk. If you bred a high producing COW to scrub you would expect very little from the offspring. This law holds good with plants.
 T'is by observing and using this law of like produces like that Iowa makes 75bu of corn on no better land than Ark. uses to produce 25bu. If Ark Farmers would grade up and test their seed corn the yield would pro- bably be doubled within three years. It is certain that the yield will be increased by in teligent section and testing of feed corn when the same system of cultivation is followed and natural conditions soil. moisture. and heat are the same.
 The ears that grow near barren stalks. that stick up so as to catch water. that nave too long a shank. or that are not true to the type you desire should never
 be selected.
 Then those that test less than 9Opercent should be reje cted But these are ideal conditions. It is quite D ossible that not enough seed corn be selected that confirms to these specifi- cation and it is better to get a few ears not quite true to type or with a little long shank than to plant ears that will produce barren stalk. But: you say; you have no barren stalks. Don't be so sure go take the rows and count few of them. More probably from a sixth to tenth of your stalks are barren. Count them yourself and see. The reasons am mentioning this now ist that now is a good time to select of mark seed stalks.
 0This marking may be done by tying a cloth or twine string around the stalk just above the ear 2nd that this is the most in-
 portant subject touched on this week.
 If this meets with approval will send work every week. Harley Hansen.

weight results from the following out

enough bricks in n day to build 400

thwart his every effort in that. 6.iirec-
tiOn. @
Hayes bOldest challenge 10 the
Republican politicians was his aban-
donment Of their 12-year struggle to
reconstruct the Southern states from
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lncoln's lifeless
hand the control OF reconstruction,
the entire proceeding had been a
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency in
the depths Of an industrial prostra-
tion when wandering bands of
tramps thronged the highways of the
land, and soon the first great railway
strike paralyzcd transportation be-
tween tho Atlantic and the Nlisss-
sippi. In response to the popular cry
for more money" both parties In
congress were for repeating or mod-
flying the resumption act and for in
flating the currency with grecnbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such surrender Had
not his veto Of the silver bill been
ovcrriddcn he would have saved the
country from taking the first step on
the road that led 1t TO the brink cf
free silver in 1896.
All this independence cost Hayes
the support Of the political time serv-
erS and the applause OF the partisan
press. These united in denotncing
and ridiculing him as q renegade in
politics and as sniveling hypoccite
liz private life.
The White House "wcnt dry" for
the first time under the Hayes. and
the president was held up to con-
tempt as man too stingy to stand
treat and too weak to resist dom-
neering wife.
Hayes found the North and South
divided and he left them more nearly
reunited than they had becn' in
generation. TIc found the national
and silver. He found the prosperity
of the country at dead low tide and
he left it at high tide.
1t fell to Hayes to ring down the
curtain on the epoch OF the Civil
war and to usher In another epoch.
The voices Of the past cried out
against him, but in his complete re.
tirement from politics he livedato hear
the votes OF the new time give q
more favorable and more just ver-
diet on his administration.
