 have lots of trouble opening the little blade of my pocket knife and use a screw driver or nail for the pur- pose, but Roscoe Treadway, who is only about eight years old, showed me how 10 open it with a piece of paper. You fold up piece of news paper or any other kind two or three times and then slip the fold of the paper under the knife edgeNand pull up and open comes the knife. Though l keep that blade very sharp it opens without cutting the paper, as one would suppose it would.
 I spent my last night at the home of W. H. Treadway on the Arch St. pike. Miss Viola was the only auto ist of the family at home and tried to assist me in starting Lizzie, but she would not go. Then l tried to get Mir. Crawford to help me, but he said he did not understand Fords, then I got the two Hale boys, then Mir. Treadway's son-in-law came along with a wagon and two pretty little mules, which pulled 1t until we con- cluded 1t was not going to start. Then Lizzie having showed us how con- trary she is, went to hitting on all four cylinders and 1 got home in rec ord time.
 I wanted the opinion of an old Ford man on my road, so l got Char lie Walderns to drive it home for me Sunday and he said my hill was not a bad hill at all for Fords to pull, so shall in the future go straight home in it without any fear of ruin ing my car. 1 have driven over lots of worse roads than 1t in the Jackson vile country, and C. J. C. Nelson has driven the secondhand Ford he bought in 1918 over it regularly ever since he got 1t and it is better car now than when he bought it.

 Abbot made for thirty-six other peo- pie. They are the largest sorghum manufacturers l know of in the county.
 From Mir. Boyd's I went through Little Rock to Mr. Tom Thomas where I spent the night, just at the Saline county line, off of the Sher- idan road This road needs work, but not until il rains, and 1t will get ii then.
 I found the people near 5. H. Me Cuire's working their road them selves. That I think is the proper spirit for any neighborhood to show, and l think the people on the roads on which Judge Mover has spent so much money should get busy and do a little work themselves. The Tiptop people have donated largely to their road in the form of furnishing teams and labor for about two-thirds of the regular price. Judge Mover has had all the work done on the Perryville road he could afford, but it needs more and l want to suggest that the neighbors of the community get to- gether and haul gravel and rock so as to save the work already done on the road alongside of the Fitzhugh land at Charlie Waldern's. This place gets impossible every winter and will do so again as soon as it goes to raining. It is only a couple of hundred yards from the Big Mau- melle, where there Is plenty of rock and good gravel and if the people will do their part vii make cash contribution for my portion of the work. Who will be next to speak up? Now is the time to do this work, be- fore it goes to raining. This cuts off one-half of the neighborhood from church and the other half from the post office.
 
 Mir. Thomas informed me that they had big rain at his place the Friday night before. On the Sunday night before we had a nice little rain in Little Rock. 50 you see, l am still keeping up my reputation as a rain maker, but l don't want much rain until get my yams dug.
 MT. Thomas and sons have made | them fine fish pond. The water in 1t now was supplied by spring. When the rains come it will cover three acres. They have caught thou sands of all kinds of fish and put in 1t already. A lot of people want him to go in with them and make a big fish pond on Lorance. It would cov- CT over l,200 acres of land, about 68 acres of which belongs to him. He gets the benefit of this land as a hog range on which he and his sons fatten good bunch of wild hogs ev- cry year. They let their sows run there, where they raise pigs so wild that they have to catch them with dogs.
 Roscoe Treadway has one and half acres of strawberries off which [ he sold 5000 worth of berries this year. He has already sold over $50 worth of turnips off half acre and is still selling He sold no beans for less than $3 bushel.
