Little River county, smoke this in your pipe: If your boy or your girl has a talent or taste as you might call It, for farm life, he or she will take to it and succeed according to the eff forts put forth. More depends on you fathers and mothers to try to culti- vate a taste for farm life than most of us think.
 If by your hard efforts you see you can't cultivate taste for farm life in your childle en, want to tell you that you can spend a million dollars in ey- cry county in Arkansas every year and your boys and girls will not be ibenefteed one bit I think here is a good place to say that your children are largely what you make of them. I have given you in part my honest opinion about some things, and here
 is one more, last but not least, as think: That if the quorum court would spend this 4 or thousand dol liars in building good public roads 1T the county, it would do more to in
 crease the value of land in our coun ty than all the demonstration. you

One of the leaders in farm organiza- tions in this country said in reply to proposed legislation to provide more credit for the farmer: The farmer owes too much now. He does not need more credit with which to go fur ther in debt" And it is even so. A man out of job may think what he needs is loan but what he does need is a job. Some people think this should become a fatherly kind of gov ernment that digs down into it's pants and hands out to it's children what ever they may need. Much better to provide the largest possible opportun'- ty and freedom in individually work ing out cur own prosperity. Kee

FERTILIZER INCREASES PROFITS
Agron0mist Cites Test Made by Mark
 Valentine as Proof.

Little Rock, Dec. 9.-The factor
 which has the most direct bearing up-
 on the profits made in cotton produc- tion is the yield grown from each acre GU tiyated. Generally speaking, when tte yie.d is large profits are cores @a. dingly big. When the yield is
 small the profit to the producer is likewise small, if he gets any profit. There are many factors which ne- cessarily incluence the yield of cotton per acre that can be grown on one acre, such as the character and con-
 dition of the land, it's previous treat ment. reasonable conditions and weev- iii depredations.
 Of the factors enumerated, particu- larly those over which the farmer has
 some control, the most important is
 fertilization. Generally speaking, the yield of cotton on each acre, and

T'exarkana, Dec. 9.-The trial of I. N. Eddins, charged with murder in connection with the killing of J. .. Furquerone at Fouke in December, 1921, which began in the Arkansas side Circuit Court Thursday, ended at 5 o'clock this afternoon when the jury, after being out about three hours brought in a verdict of manslaughter, and fixed the penalty at two years in the penitentiary. The time of the killing, Eddins was marshal of Fouke. He had a farm on which Furqueron was tenant, and the shooting result ed from dispute over a settlement about crops. Both men were about 50, and both were regarded as exemp- lary citizens, neither one having had serious trouble before.

WELL, WELL. WE'LL,

I thought when the election was ov- CT that publications of an unpleasant nature were at an end. But, on the 11th of November We read a letter authorized by W. D. Waldrop in the News of which I feel it an unpleasant task to answer. And, yet, while I feel that it is an unpleasant task, I fell that for some reasons I should answer his letter. In the first place I would just like to know of some one that ever knew of an incoming county official taking the position that Mr. Waldrop has.
 I am sure that there has been some political sneaks whispering dirty sneaking falsehoods to MT. Waldrop < about my management of the affair , of the county. As to the financial con- dition of the road districts in the county, there are only two that are in debt to amount to anything, and l don't think these two are in debt so much but what they will pay out next year, if they get what is coming to them.
 But, say folks they have something to show why they are in debt.
 I know that I have made some mis- takes. Just like MT. Waldrop is going to do or any man that trys to do any thing.
 I want MT. Waldrop or anyone else to understand that I have not and am not issuing county road warrants in- discriminatory. I have not and am not spending a dollar only where it needs to be spent, as I see it.
 Now, have and am still doing what MT. Waldrop says he is going to do. It has been my aim too, to try to cut down expenses and economize as much as the county would admit.
 have done everything in my power to put the county on cash basis but I had no control over the boot-legging business that is bankrupting the whole country. which has cost this county alone in the last three years more than Ten Thousand Dollars. Don't take my word for it. go to the records. I am not responsible for the tax as- sessor letting the property lose in value in our county nearly two mil lion dollars last year, and the same sIedge will hit you in the face next year-and spend seven thousand and seven hundred dollars for demonstrat- ors and see where your scrip will go.
 It don't seem that the bootleggers are letting up much. It looks like now that this circuit court will be the heaviest in the history of the county.
 Now, to the fathers and mothers oi

STRAWBERRY RANCHER BRINGS BERRIES TO
 TOWN;HAS GOOD CROP

John McWilliams, strawberry rancher at Shelter Island, arrived in Juneau this morning from his ranch with 19 crates of strawberries. This is the second lot of strawberries MT McWilliams has brought in this sea son. MT. McWilliams puts up his berries, "A boxes to the crate. On his last trip he brought in 1000 boxes.
 He said he expects to have crop of 10000 boxes this season, almost half again the crop of last year, which was $500 boxes Besides the berries he has already brought in to the market, berries for 800 boxes have not yet been picked.
 The rainy weather carly in the sea son is responsible for the large crop this season, MT. McWilliams said. Last year the weather was hot and dry during the period before the Der ries ripened.
 While sunshine at this time would increase the value of the berries, he rain has not appeared to injure them and they are exceptionally large and of fine color, MT McWil- ,.ams said.

CREDIT BUREAU
 DISCUSSED AT
 MEETING TONIGHT
R. I. Robertson Will Explain Purposes of Organization
 with Business Men.

Financial authorities are now normal expansion, imitation of credit, rising prices and high costs proceed ing during and following the war, reached its climax in 1920, and that we are now entering a period of nor nal reaction" said R. T. Robertson. representing the United Creditors Association, who will address the business men of Juneau at 8 o'clock tonight at Council Chambers in City Hall.
 For the next few years the trend of prices will be downward rather than upward. individual business prosperity must needs be based on close buying, economical handling, improved production and sound fl nancng. It is a period for business house cleaning the liquefaetion of all speculative assets.
 with the reduced margin of profit business men of sound judgment are compelled to recognize the expedien- cy of carefully limited credits and the absolute necessity for close col lections. The available margin for covering dead accounts as profit and loss will be negligible. For many years to come credits and collections will be a determining factor in busi- ness success. In other words, the success or. failure of many concerns will rest, more than ever before, upon the successful collection of open accounts.
 "I will discuss the situation more fully at the meeting of the local business men tonight. when l will ex- plain the purpose of the United Cred itors' Association
 Mr. Robertson said professional men. physicians. dentists and law yers are offered the same protec- tion as business men. by the credit rating bureau and he desires all professional men of Juneau who can, to attend the meeting tonight
