~KNocKER" EXPLANATION.

Three of the main reasons why we antis fought the highway program in Polk county so hard were:
 1. Personal property was not taxed.
 ,. The war was on.
 3. We believed lot of our road Lax money would be spent recklessly.
 And now that an official report has been made on the financial affairs of Road Dist. No. 1, things are turning cut worse than we expected.
 Things are in pretty bad shape. Still there is a possibility that we antis made q mistake in our opposi- tion, for when road officials, like other public servants, do anything wrong, they always have a way of slipping a moose about their own necks. And now that public opinion is divided, a iaw-breaking road official will only have one-half of the public that will oppose him very strongly.
 This is bad So we all, antis and pros alike, need to let MT. Pipkin's and Mir. Smiths report serve as a medium for burying all past differ ences.
 Unity and spirit of friendliness will do more to keep down graft than all abuse or lawsuits that can be thought of. Who will be the first to start the ball rolling.
 One more word.
 Relative to the accusation about the antis fights costing Road Dist. No. so much. This is another way of passing the buck. which is charac- teristic trait of all men when trapped. We didn't want the bonds to be sold et all until economic conditions had become normal, as is now about to happen.

Owing to the very heavy snow that fell in and around Hatfield last Fri day and Saturday and making travel very difficult for the farmers, the Hat field Products & Cooperative Asso- liaIion had to postpone their weekly meeting until February 2o, when we are to meet and take ua yafious im- portant business matters. we will have with us on this date Mir. Broyles of Mena, our county agricultural agent, who will illustrate the positive
 need for a farmers cooperative work in this section of the country, and a good crowd is expected to be present. Why finger longer my fel- low farmer? We have been living in a fast age for the past five years, and now that our time is passing much faster, it behooves us to get only the one time Mir. Farmers, let's get out of the old rut that we have been treading for so many years and get out upon solid ground, where we can have a good, sound foundation. Our association stands out today for the substantial virtues of plain living and considerable thinking. While To- cally it stands for better farming, better marketing of our products and more substantial improvements and upbuilding of our soils To use more diversified methods in our farming interests. Again to promote the in- terests of our younger generation to the extent of religion. education, social opportunity, economy and hon. lesty. This association has no jealous ies directed against any other farm ers' organization and does not at tempt to do the work of an yother or ganizations as to do all concerned deem fit. It may not be policy for this association to dictate to and tell the farmer what he should plant and how he should plant it, yet at the same time many times the case hap pens when any of us need advice in the fullest extent of the word.
