been collected by MT. Nickerson, and yet many may know them only in a casual and disconnected way. Here are few of the striking facts which will bear relating time and time again:
 Arkansas is first in the production of bauxite and novaculite, 909c of the country's bauxite being produced in the state.
 Arkansas ranks third in the pro- | duction of rice, third in the produc- tion of peaches, fifth in cotton, and fifth in the production of sorghum cane.
 The state leads the Union in the production of hardwood and lumber, 409c of all the oak timber of the United States being found here, the industry amounting to about $150,- 000,000 per year.
 Arkansas produces more dollars per acre of farm products than any other state in the Union. The fed eral census giving the amount at S22.04, while Illinois is next with S1724, and Iowa, which has so grea reputation as an agricultural state is accredited with only $14.52 per acre
 In ten years the farm wealth of Arkansas increased 3009c.
 The corn crop of 1920 was valued at S53, ,000, being the second most valuable crop and exceeded only by the value of the cotton crop.
 From 1910 to 1915 the production of rice in Arkansas was increased by 377fc, the states of Louisiana and Texas having gained only 1269s and 1O9ft respectively during the same period.
 The second largest industry is connected with the by-products of cot tonseed, there being nearly 30 cotton seed oil mills in the state.
 There is 1O,0OOO0O acres of land in cultivation, one quarter of which is planted to cotton, one quarter to corn, and one half to other products of the field, meadow and orchard.
 The total value of farm products for 1920, as estimated by the United States Crop Reporting Service was $345, ,6O6, ,OOO.
 The population of the state has grown from 14,273 in 1920 to 1,752,- 204 in 1920, of whom SOGc are white 1.
 There were fewer people in the en tire state in 1920, just 100 years ago than there are today in the city of Pine Bluff.
 From 3,OO0,0O0 to 4,OOO,O0O tons of coal are produced annually in the state.
 One of the most recent develop ments is that of oil and gas. Gas has ben produced for years in large quantities in the Fort Smith district, but not until the first we'll was brought in recently near ElDorado, was it known that the state is also underlaid by what is probably one of the greatest oil pools in the world. That an oil field does exist has been proven beyond any doubt, but the ex- tent of it has not yet been demon strated. Wells are being drilled il probably half the counties of the state and there is every reason to believe that majority of them will be successful.
 With all these material resources there is no reason why Arkansas should not take and keep foremos place among the states of the Union

spANIsH VETERANS AND THE FOURTH.

Casper has just concluded a Fourth of July eele-
bration. She turned back a few years and did it IN
an old fashioned manner. Plenty Of noise, plenty OF
music, plenty red, white and blue, and plenty of pa
triotism. The people were hungry for just such q
time and they went the limit. The encaInpment OF
the heroes of 1898, the panish-America veterans,
was the occasion seized upon, and in offering hospi-
tality to them and helping to make their gathering
q success the lid was incidentally removed and the
celebration was made unanimous Not in a long time
has there been more powder burned 1t recalled the
great victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila on that
other Fourth of July when the boys of that war were
putting an end to the Spanish tyranny. The people
of that time knew no bounds to their enthusiasm and
yesterday in Casper was by no means a weak refiec-
ton of that old day.
The veterans, during their several days visit, have
been made welcome and shown our most lavish hos
pItality.
The unavoidable failure of distinguished command
es of the Spanish war to COME to Casper to address
the boys who carried the flag TO victory, while a dis
appointment, by no means cast gloom upon the en-
campment for Judge Stones rousing address was all
that could be desired.
The department reunion has been a success and if
the veterans are as well pleased to be in Casper as
Casper is to have them here a mutual friendship has
been established.

the muiti-mil1ionaire who sits at his
desk aid quietly decides whether to
accept or reject bids which involve
millions in expenditures for construc-
zion. Either the motive. which is so
strong and effective In little things,

Is the germ which stimulates the

Prosperity oes not depend upon
