standard flocks. Standard bred roosters are taking the place of the mongrel on many farms as a result of the work of the Egg Circle"
 Perhaps the most notable exam pie of the work Of the Egg Circles" is found with the Harrisburg Egg Circle in Poinsett county. This "circle" has been in operation two years and they have succeeded in creating a demand for their prod ucts because of the high quality of the eggs and poultry which they market. Members of the Harris burg Egg Circle are composed of farm men and women, members of boys and girls poultry clubs and men and women of the town of Harrisburg.
 The reason for forming the cir cle was because the town of liar risburg could not use all of the surplus eggs and poultry that was produced in the community and be- cause the local buyers were paying far below market prices. Miss Viv- ian Hawkins, the county home dem onstration agent organized the "cir- cle" and each Monday is shipping day. The produce is shipped to either Memphis. Tenn, or St. Louis, Mo.
 The cost of shipping eggs includes cases, filters, drayage, express and commission This amounts to seven cents a dozen to St. Louis and five cents to Memphis. The cost of marketing poultry includes coops, drayage, express and return ex- press on empty GOODS, and commis- sion To St. Louis this amounts to five cents pound and to Memphis

three cents a pound.

three cents a pound.
 All members are enthusiastically in favor of the work of the "circle" because they have been shown the value of cooperative effort in dis posing of their products. Because the commission men have come to know the good quality of Harrisburg eggs and poultry and good price is paid for them.
 When the Harrisburg Egg Circle first sold eggs on the St. Louis market the commission man wrote back and asked that the stamp of Arkansas be left off because if it were known the eggs came from Arkansas they would not bring a good price. The Circle" wrote back and said, If Arkansas eggs are being discriminated against, we want to show that we are producing good eggs that are. worth full val ue." And the Harrisburg Egg Cir cle stamp continued to be put on the eggs and the commission men are coming to realize that Arkan- sas eggs are of as good quality as those of other states.

In the year past the American Legion doubled in membership and added 3,417 posts, according to Ma tional Headquarters. All records of growth, however, were broken by the Woman's Auxiliary, which start ed the year 1920 with 5000 mem hers and finished with an enroll ment of 100000 and a total of 1895 units. All state departments registered substantial gains and new posts were formed in the following foreign countries: Argentine Re, public, Belgium, Chile, China, Gau- temala, Japan, Poland, Samoa, Santo Domingo and Peru.
 Checks received by the national treasurer of the American Legion to provide for the adoption of French war orphans now total $4,650. This amount is enough to care for 62 orphans for a period of one year. The greater part of the adoptions were made by Legion posts in many parts of the country but a number of individuals contributed.

EDDY" IS ADDING HER PART
 TO THE WEALTH OF ARK.

Farmers, business men and bank CTS too often forget that the hen and her eggs play an important part in the economic welfare of both the rural and city population. Those who think of farming are apt to vis- ualize bales of cotton, and carlots of hogs, cattle, corn and wheat. The hen seems to be negligible quan- tity.
 But when the same farmers, bankers and business men know that the annual egg production of Ar kansas is 30,000,000 dozen and re- member the price that eggs are bringing on the market today, it is enough to make them recognize that the universal "Biddy" and her egg are playing their important part in adding wealth to the state.
 In the past, commission men have been prejudiced against Arkansas eggs because they have been lack ing in quality. But that sentiment is being overthrown, for forces are at work in the state to increase the quality and quantity of eggs in Ar kansas and to put them up at a standard where they will compete with eggs from other states.
 Egg Circles" with Quality as their slogan have been formed in different sections of Arkansas by the county home demonstration agents, working with the Agricul- tural Extension Division, University of Arkansas and the Federal gov ernment. These egg circles are putting on campaigns for more
