 cars of strawberries. This is only the statement from one company while others paid as well, not only for ber- ries but other produce.
 The time has come when the farmers realize that to depend upon cotton is uncertain while there is always mar ket for fruit and vegetables. Then again truck produce brings the farm CTS money in the Spring and in this way they have two seasons of marketing instead of only one in the Fall.
 Horatio is not the only place feeling the effects of the Truck Growing in- dustry. We have In our midst two such concerns. The Thomas Pickle company and l.. H. Thomas, produce broker both of which have shipped fruit and vegetables of all kinds from here and paid large sums of money to tue farmers of this community.
 These concerns have done much to increase the truck growing industry and are due great deal of credit for helping the community on to prosperity.

WILL OPERATE ROAD
 ON OPEN SHOP PLAN

Harrison, March 2.-C. P. Phelan, receiver and general manager of the Missouri and North Arkansas, declared today that he ''is through with union labor" and that he proposes to operate the road with non un- ion men on the open shop plan.
 Traffic on the line, which has been practically suspended since early Friday when the union em ployees walked out because of a wage reduction, was less than 50 per cent normal today. How ever, with the arrival of about 400 strike breakers it is baliev- ed, that within a few days nor nal traffic will be resumed.
 Little difficulty vii be eSper- fenced in securing all the non union labor desired, MT. Phelan says. He advertised in several newspapers, and declares he re- ceived hundreds of replies from men who wanted work.

WILL DRILL AT BEEBE


 A representative of the bIu,..- al Oil and Gas Company of Bee be, informs us that a contract has been let to the Allen Devel- opment Company to drill well on their holdings, to commence within sixty days and continue until a depth of 2500 feet has been reached if oil is not struck sooner.
 Just where the well is to be located has not yet been decided, but geological survey will be made at an early date and active work will begin.
 This is the best chance we ever had to find out whether or not we have oil or gas. The De- Helopment Company takes all of the risk.
 
 If it's a dry hole they jose; if they strike oil or gas they win. The landowner stands to win, oil or not oil, as there is always a real estate boom Wher- ever a We!. is started
 We urge the people of McRae to get into this company at once as we stand as good a chance To have the well near us as any other point, as it depends on the geologist's report.

THE OUTLOOK FOR
 THE BERRY CROP

The following piece was fur- nshed Us by Mr. Bing Mos7y, of Bald Knob, who is very well and favorably known in the berry industry.
 Every time l go on 13.e streets l am asked my opinion % to strawberry prospects and es- pecially as to the price they are likely to b,iag.
 I will not undertake to say at what price they will sel but will name some of the conditions that We will have 10 meet in marketing the cra2.
 First and probably foremost is competition.
 The caIoied movement of the strawberry crop decreased 45 per cent during four years from 1916 to and including 1sz0 and while most producing sections that come in competition with ours will have a heavier move ment this year than last still ' will not nearly reach the record of 1916.
 Louisiana is expecting t5 st started about March 1st, and should easily be out of cur way by April 18th when from pres cnt prospects We will De start ing.
 Tennessee should come in a bout a week after Us aIe. ls aa- pecting quite an increase but e5 competitors they do not cu- the figure that they used to as the trade prefers our berries, ,hen too, their season for. good pick ing doesn't usually last more than week.
 In markets east Of Cl.ica57 3, North Carolina is becoming 8 fatcor during our shipping sea son.
 The real competition .nat we are going I'D against is we'to12 Arkansas. Horation starts 10 days ahead of Us, then comes in Morrilton, Alma and Van Buren with us, and Sp1'ingdale, Rogers and number of smaller points 10 days later than Us.
 All these points will have the heaviest crop they have had for years and with plenty of .efries and better railroad service l1 looks like they may be able to shut us out of Colorado, hans- as and Nebraska, and all Miss

Cigarette Law Passed

The Governor vetoed the bill licensing cigarette dealers, re- garding the license fee as too small, $10 for retailers and $25 for wholesalers, and announced whcndoing so that he would be glad to sign a bill of similar import with the icense at least doubled and Senator Johnson introduced a new cigarette bill drawn on the lines recommended making the license fee $20 and $50. However before this bill could be acted upon the Senate passed the original bill over the veto of the Governor.

ouri r1yer points as we'll as ma tori2lly affect our a-iness m the Twin cites.
 The saving of lzc per case will not make up half the in- crease in freight but we are not likely to have to pct ap with bum service that last year cost Us from $1.50 to $500 per case.
 On accoapt of the downward tendency o5 nea,iy al comnod- ties nl6st of us are eXpeefing lower prices for berries but ] don't see why they should go back to the pro war level.
 There are nearly double tha berries in this district that were shipped last year. Bradford. is expecting so cats against 30 last year. Russell 1y caIs wish s last year; Bald Knob, including Russell, about 175 cats with 88 last year; Judsonia will have 1 around 200 cars Whiie laeE mad less than 100 last year. Searcy expects 30 cars and did not ship last year. At other points tAere l will not be much change except i that West Point will make their initial shipment of 1O cars.
 It is not conceded th3 the Bald Knob Association will bsI the heaviest shipper in this dis lIict and ! think there are 13I other organizations in the dis tsict including one at Bald snob that does rot agrce that said as sociatio2 should properly set the price lor picking for the dis trict tho they may be the lare- est shipper Furthermore thei price of ? I-2 cents was ser at Judaonia by reprosentatiesv of II organizations 0f taa district and ] am informed taat this price was approved by the Beld- Knob association in spite of ob- iactiona from some oI their. members.
 On account of the condition Of the cotton industry the whole south is looking iol a profitable field for diV"rsificatjon and con- sequently scores and probably hundreds of new districts will be organized for raising straw berries and putting out plants this spring, so next year we may look for a new record for pro duction with t.-o result that many will Do rcady after sath-i ] ering their first crop to Npio~ them up and those of us wine stay will have achance to come back"

QUEER BOATS ON TIGRIs

From the Columbus Dispatch.
 By far the most interesting craft on the upper Tigris are the "qufa' and the 'I1elak," this latter coming from upriver and descending to Bag dad. The "qufa." as seen in Bagdad today, is circular tub made of in- terwoven~ esiers, covered outside with pitch. The large ones are as much as six feet across and four or five feet deep. They are propelled by two men who stand close together and lean ing over the edge, dip their paddles deep into the water and sweep them away from each other.
 In summer these coracles come floating down to the city, spinning slowly round and round. piled high with fat juicy melons, their gunwales almost awash. But they are steady enough beasts, not easily capsized The ''kelak," on the other hand, is really raft made up of large num- bers of inflated pigskins lashed to- gether and decked over with timber and brushwood. Thess float dowr stream with the current often carry. ing firewood, but in the mountains at the source of the Tigris, to Bag dad

Thirsty New Workers
 Who Paraded in Vain

6N HE old reliable Anti-Saloon
 U league belittles New York's "wet" parade. According to a state ment issued by the league yesterday, it employed accountants with add ing machines and other devices to make san exact count of the num- Der of marchers in line. Accord ing to these experts, a total of 14,922 persons took part in the demonstration, including 922 bands men and "A policemen. On the other hand, the "wets" claimed that 200,- 900 people had pledged themselves to march and more than 100000 "good citizens" actually paraded.
 But whether there were only 14,922 marchers are 100000, the spectators were fairly numerous and showed themselves sympathetic. As for the marchers themselves, they perspired freely and made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers. Mayor Hylan reviewed the wet phalanxes and bore up as we'll as could be expected under terrific heat, which was not mitigated by the prospect of a "cold bottle" when the festivities were over.
 The Anti-Saloon league naturally wants to minimize as much as pos sible any revival of "wet" senti- ment, but it need not worry over the New York affair. It looked like the final despairing outburst of the unregenerate "wets." They marched and mopped their steaming brows, but it was significant that they slaked their thirst with soft drinks. New York is the last stronghold of the "wets," but the painful realiza- tion has reached even New York that their cause is.hopeless.

WHATDID ROGERBAC KNOW

SSR F BITING in Harper's Masa- WAW zine for July, concerning the now famous cipher
 manuscript In Philadelphia, Professor
 Manly of the University of Chicago
 discusses the question of it's origin
 and whether Roger Bacon. the al- leged author, had any such knowl- edge as had been attributed to him:
 That Bacon knew and used sim- | pie lens has long been generally admitted, but until recently it has
 been customary to deny that he used Tense in combination, either for mi croscopes or for telescopes Yet his treatise on optics distinctly states the principles of combination, and though with some exaggeration, the results that can be obtained. Recent
 mathematics. such as Prof. Bhard
 Wiedmann of the University of Err langen, and Prof. David Eugene
 Smith of Columbia university, rate | HIS DOW1tQSC alu CdpdtiAy AOl scientific thinking very high indeed
 His correction of the error in the calendar was remarkable for it's ac-
 curacy.
 "Of his latest observations and
 speculations in biology we know very little. He published no specific treatise on the subject. What he says | is said incidentally in connection with other subjects and was written at least 25 years before his death. That he should. during the years of his imprisonment (127S-1292?) have found time and opportunity for mil croscopic work on cells and ova need occasion no surprise. Prisoners such
 as he was are often allowed by their jailers to do the very things which
 the imprisonment was intended to
 prevent
 Nor should any amount of prac-
