with thrilling incident-sIse it would
not be a Mix entertainment. Among
the thrills are a number iue to rescue

The breezy cowboy saunters from
one thrill to another in his inimitably

to have been written particularly for
Hoot Gibson, so perfectly does Eugene
Manlove Rhodes famous character fit

The story, produced under the di-

Harry Cary successes, is jammed and
crammed with red-blooded action.
Sure Fire" is the fighting drama of
RAN who makes good-a vagabond

In many respects it is even better
picture than "Action" and Red Cour-

He readily, obtained between thirty and forty names, and no doubt the number can be greatly increased as others are seen. Every citizen of the town should get behind this organ- ization. The reason of the failure of former organizations to survive was g lack of definite membership and g source of revenue to pay the legitimate expenses. Whether it shall be known as a commercial club. chamber of commerce, or the plans of work will be determined at the meeting Friday. Some express the idea that some local man may be employed and paid for part time necessary to take care of correspondence and other work fall ing on secretary. Larger towns are able to employ secretary on full time, but 1t is not thought that the local situation would justify or carry proposition of that kind.

FAMOUS |u AcRIcuLTuRlsT
 WAS ASHD0MN VISITOR
H. M. COttrell, Little Rock Agricultur ist Was in AshdOwn Wednesday
 Looking Around.

Fl. M Cottrell, agriculturist for the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of Little Rock, was in Ashdown We'd nesday. MT. Cottrell had no appoint ment here. but came unannounced He said that he had been to Foreman" He is making tour of every county in the state. He spent several hours on our streets talking with farmers and busi- ness men and taking notes. He is one of the greatest agriculturists in the South and his opinions and ob- servations on any phase of the farming industry is worth hearing.
 MT. Cottrell knows how to get farm statistics on any community he visits in very short time. For example while here he found that in the east end of Little River 1500 acres in oats had already been planted and that ar arrangements had been made for the planting of 1000 acres more. Infor- nation like this will soon be in the hands of the farm interests of the state as well as the big banking institutions
 In a casual interview MT. Cottrell emphasized some of his farm doctrin- es. He believes that every farm should have it's COW and chickens, for these will make it easier for the farmer to live cheaply while he makes his crop,
 He laid great stress on the home garden. He said that it should be planted now and should be followed up during the season with. a second and third planting. The cost of the home garden is small and the profit in maintaining the family great.
 Against One. Crop System.
 His views on divirsified farming are the most practical. He is against the one crop system, and does not advise the growing of any one crop to take the place of cotton. He said it was a risky business and one that no farmer at this time could afford to take. He thought that an acre in sweet or Irish potatoes. was safe, but thought man foolish to plant his whole farm to either as it would likely bring him up against the same proposition as big cotton crop. or worse. Grow a small acreage of truck, if you like, plenty of feed. Take into, considera- tion bad yields and plant enough. He said that after the crop had been laid out on this plan the cotton acreage would be reduced automatically He likes that plan better thanithe strong arm program of the Memphis plan. He never tires of talking lespedeza He tells of farmer who made a specially of buying worn out lands cheaply bringing back its fertility with this crop until it would produce big yields of regular crops. He extended warn ing to all who would grow any croI that was perishable, and not to gc too strong 6n them. Stick to crops that can at least be held few weeks before marketing for safety.

TOWN WILL HAVE WATER.
 RUN LINE TO OIL MEL
Light Company Continues to Have Difficulties and Light Situation
 Full of Uncertainties.

Some headway has been made at least toward assuring the town de- pendable water supply in an emerg- ency as a result of efforts made by citizens and city officials during the early part of the week. A line has been run to the oil mill and connect ed with their generator for the pur- pose of operating the pumps when the light plant is down. The Fordson tractor, which had been doing the pumping during the interval, was re- leased from duty Wednesday morning when the big engine at the light plant decided to run. The force had beeh trying all day and night to get it start ed, but like balky automobiles had refused to crank. It ran nicely Wed- nesday and Wednesday night, but on Thursday morning another bearing burned out and the plant was silent again.
 Citizens Get Busy.
 The citizens committee got in touch with Judge Youmans of Fort Smith and learned that it would be possible to get an order from him turn ing the load over to the United Oil Mills in an emergency. The Common wealth sent srepresentative here We'd nesday, who agreed that his company would pay the mill for doing the pumping. The matter of lights is a more difficult one The mill could not handle the lights with their generator, which is 22O volts against town system of no. To take this oyer a big generator would have to be moved from the light plant and set up at one of the gins. This is an expense that the town could not assume, and if done would have to be done through the light company and by them.
 A committee has been appointed to continue it's efforts at a solution in in any way that may appear open or advisable.

Nashville Farmers Will
 Receive Some Help

Nashville, Feb. 9.--Farmers of this section are in better shape than those in most cotton growing sections of the state and credit for this is. due toy faction taken by the banks of this city several years ago, according to H M. Cottrell, agriculturist of the Arkan- sas Profitable Farming Burerau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce MT. Cottrell has spent the last two days here Investigating agricultural condi- tions and especially the work that the bankers and business men have been doing to aid the farmers.
 Up to few years ago large fur nishing and credit business was car ried on with the farmers by the stores of the city with the usual conditions that attend such business. Then the two strong banks of Nashville got to- gether, called in all the farmers and said that it was a banks business to give credit to farmers to whom it was safe to give credit. The bankers de-
  cash. It was explained that this would enable farmers to buy more cheaply and that the stores would not need So much credit to operate.
 ~"The plan was adopted and since that time the banks have urged every farmer who borrowed of them--and this includes practically every farm CT whose credit is good-to make his farm elf-sustaining. said MT. Cot trell today. ''The farmers are raising all the food and feed they use and m addition they have been enabled to sell poultry. cantaloupes or some field crop or live stock in addition to cotton. Oppose Memphis Plan.
 "Most of these farmers are we'll sup piled with feed. Officials of both the banks are opposed to the Memphis rlsn of cotton reduction. They say that every farmer who makes his farm self-sustaining at to, food and feed and who has a small quantity of some other farm product to sell can safely plant the remainder of his farm to cotton. Farmers and business men whom have interviewed here estimate the reduction in cotton at from 15 to 20 per cent although few thought it might be larger.
 "Bert Johnson, the big peach grower, estimates that the acreage planted to cantaloupes in this vicinity will De at least double that of last year. He will plant 45O acres of cantaloupes on his i,1ach farm at Highland. He esti- mates that at least 500 acres will be planted to cantaloupes around Nash vile, 200 acres around Murfreesboro. 20 acres in the vicinity of Mineral Springs and 300 acres around Wash ingtor and other stations between Nashville and Hope
