we may only have an equal length

Andrew Hays recently slaughtered
a pure bred Poland China gilt which
dresser 225 pounds. The hog was on
ly seven months old. Now is the time
for us to begin to plan for next years
pork crop. The most desirable to be
slaughtered is a medium size hog. AS
the size and age increases the cost of
a pound of gain increases. To pro-
duce pork with most economy we
must get the animal to a profitable
size in the most economical way at an
early age.

Last year we pruned an orchard for
a farmer in this county. He told us
that his wife would have stopped US
soon after we started if she could
have had her way. Now she sees the
value of having the young trees prop
erly trained. He has large family Of
children. He plans to have sufficient
fruit for them at home. No one likes
fruit so well as children. The man
who fails to supply it for his children
is depriving them of pleasure that
cannot be replaced by money later.
Food for the home should be the first
consideration of the successful farm.

Mrs. G. W. Stewart kept an account
of all the butter and eggs she sold
last year. She sold 1876 pounds of
butter at so cents a pound which
brought her $500. She sold 241
dozen eggs which brought $500.
This gives a total of $172.00. How
many bales of cotton would be requir-
ed to give this same return? The
above is the amount sold in addition
to the amount required for home use.
The chickens are not pure bred. This
shows the Importance of keeping
books on the farm. If each farm in
Henderson county would average sell
ing the same amount of produce it
would bring more than 100000.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
 AT PRAIRIE GROVE

Prairie Grove, Oct. 31.---An entire block in the business section of Prairie Grove was laid waste by fire, discovered about 3 o'clock yes terday morning. Six buildings and practically all their contents were destroyed, entailing a loss estimated at $50,000, with approximately $13, GOO insurance. All the buildings were of brick construction.
 The blaze was discovered in the northwest corner of the Rogers opera house. It is presumed the fire started from lighted cigarette or cigar stub. Although the alarm was sounded immediately, the blaze had gained such headway when volunteer firemen reached the scene that there was no chance to save the burning buildings. Prairie Grove has no waterworks system, neces- sitating the volunteer organization of bucket brigade in case of fire.

 Tapping his hollow chest with an emanciated hand, he pleaded for liberty in order that he might secure the drug he found necessary to main tain life within his weakened frame.
 No steam here" he said, point ing to his chest Must have drug" and it was thought advisable to liberate him for the time being.

 General Nollet's mission has sev- eral times had occasion to send notes to the German government protest ing that the Allies can't permit the police of the various cities to be organized into one large controlling unit, with a central staff. The po- lice consists largely of former non- commissioned officers in the army.
 The Allies are giving much at tention to the organization of sys- tenn of control which will make it impossible for Germany to manufac- ture any military supplies. Army wagons, field kitchens, signal equip ment and army supply department material are either being destroyed or rendered unserviceabIe for mili- tary purposes.
 Scarcely week passes but what reports are brought in of hidden supplies of arms or munitions. The Allies offer a reward for informa- tion of this sort Many of the re- ports prove to be false, but ire quently the investigating officers discover several hundred rifles or machine guns buried in the woods, where no one can be inculpated If they are found. The weapons, how ever, are often hidden for use in possible civil war between radicals and reactionaries and are connected up with attempts to organize illicit |home guards against the Reds, or a workman's army connected with a radical organization.

 Asking for nothing and Wltho"' the large placards and celllllold ehi- blems of the Californians, the Alh- ansans, with their unique calling co,ae and buttons, created even better impression than the Tar West erners.
 The Arkansas delegation held sev- eral meetings during the day anu an organization completed TOT ene systematic presentation of Arkahsas to convince the Legionaires that c]aims if has made are not without
 
 foundation.
 Few visitors consider the presehta- tion of an Arkansas diamond to the incoming commander more than a joke of "a questionable character. The newspapers Of the city were not convinced until the stone was shown and later vouched TOT by local jewellers The local JeWelefs even had to be convinced, and 1t was not until after q former Arkan- san, now a Kansas City banker, call ed on a jeweler who conducts store on Grand avenue, and recelV- ed from him an agreement to de- vote an entire window to the AfK- ansas diamond display, that the Main street jeweler, to whom the diamonds were consigned, consented to show more than the diamond which is to be presented and the pearl for Marshal Foeh.
 Kansas City has many jujnk shops which have displays of brilliants in their windows which the unso- phisticated have mistaken for an Arkansas diamond exhibit. To prevent the first presentation from detracting from the big event. lthe pearl will be given to Marshal Foch at the residence of Irwin Kirk wood, owner of the Kansas City Star, Tuesday This will be wit messed by the Arkansas delegation Randolph Rogers, formerly of Fort Smith, son of the late Federal Judge John H. Rogers, will make the presentation. Arrangements have been made with motion picture concerns to film the event for dis tribution among the news weeklies.
 The Arkansas delegation has ad- vertised for cooperation from for mer Arkansans living in this sec tion, and in this way has received the names of several hundred volun- teers. Today three tons of Arkansas rice, brought from Stuttgart by Vice Commander Floyd T. Wingo, will be placed in the window of a lead
 ing bank. and at the close of the convention will be given to local hospitals
