01 Amendment No. 12, send 10
cents to Educational Campaign
Committee, Conway, Ark., for
an attractive campaign button.
When Amendment No. 12 is
adopted, citizens of Arkansas
traveling in other states will
have no occasion to blush at our
standing in the educational col
umn.
Secretary L. H. Moore of the
Arkansas Federation of Labor in
a recent statement expresses
aimself as being highly encour
aged over the prospects for the
adoption of Amendment No. 12
at the November election.
Never before, perhaps, in the
uisto'fy of Arkansas has any piece
af proposed legislation received
such solid endorsement as that
accorded Amendment No. 12.
[t has been approved by the
bankers, editors, churches, lum
ber men, Federation of Labor,
Farmers Union, school teachers
and directors, and innumerable
nvic and political organizations.
England is not the only coun
try that can boast of producing
i “blameless beer.” There has
recently appeared in the local
market an alleged non-intoxicat
ing drink which connoisseurs
ieclare looks like beer, tastes
like beer, and, in fact is beer,
— except that it isn't. This new
beverage is manufactured by a
well-known brewery, and the
local distributors assert that the
demand is far greater than the
present supply.
The committee which is in im
mediate charge of the campaign
being carried on in behalf of
Amendment No. 12 attributes
the increasing popularity of this
measure largely to the publicity
being given it by the press of
the state. There is hardly a
newspaper in Arkansas which
bas not shown a highly generous
spirit in co-operating with the
committee.
About Shipping Corn.
Don’t ship it, if there is enough
stock in the county to eat it.
From one neighborhood in South
east Arkansas three weeks ago
there were shipped to Illinois
5000 bushels of corn and three
carloads of pigs. What a mis
take! Then, too, it will be
necessary to ship into other parts
of that county this year several
thousand bushels of corn and
many carloads of meat. Let
everybody who may anticipate
extra corn plan for cribs to save
it for December and January
sale to his neighbors or to other
parts of Arkansas.
Farmers who will'- have corn
to sell should inform the County
Agent K. H. Abbey, as he is cer
tain to know of men who will
need to buy corn. Arkansas will
not have enough corn this year
to feed its own stock. The Ex
tension Division of the Uniyersi-.
ty of Arkansas and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture is
anxious to keep Arkansas corn in
Arkansas.
Flies And Mosquitoes.
More screening of houses this
year than ever before in Arkan
sas, thanks to our State Secre
tary of the Board of Health, the
National Bureau of Public Health
and the Women’s Clubs and the
county agricultural and home
demonstration agents and others.
This will mean much to the state.
Public health is an asset; sick
ness is a public liability. Flies
and mosquitoes must be kept out
of the houses. More attention
should be given to the sources
of drinking water. The biggest
menace to health in Arkansas is
the miserable outdoor privy and
the next is the foul well.
Notify County Agent.
The campaign for "Clovers
and Cover Crops” is making
great headway, hindered now
only by the difficulty of getting
clover seed, me county agents,
in counties so fortunate as to
have these valuable servants,
are very anxious to have the
names of all farmers who will
sow clover or seed a winter cover
crop of rye or wheat or oats.
Farmers are urged to notify the
county agent, Mr. R. H. Abbey
of McCrory, and state what they
will send and the acreage.
Mr. E. L. Capshaw left Sunday
for Memphis where he went to
accept a position as motorman
for the street railway company.
Messrs Jelks Brazeale, Chas.
Mills, Cecil Willis, Bill Gullic and
j Marvin Smith motored over from
j Augusta Sunday evening in Mr.
Brazeale’s Buick.

Cotton Classing.
The Extension Division of the
University of Arkansas and U. S.
Department of Agriculture has
perfected co-operative arrange
ments with the Office of Markets
and Rural Organization for the
continuance of the classification
oi cotton ior tne producers oi
the state and the representative
of the Office of Markets is now
stationed in the extension office
in the Old State House, Little
Rock. It is recommended
that communities appoint
committees to attend to
details for sending samples for
classification.
Supplies for sending in sam
ples of cotton may be had upon
application to Mr. C. E. Atkinson
Assistant in Cotton Marketing or
to Dean J. H. Miller, Old State
House Little Rock.
Clover Bulletins.
Farmers and others who want
to study the clover growing busi
ness should write for bulletins
on Red Clover, Sweet Clover,
Crimson Clover, Lespedeza, Bur
Clover and Alfalfa. Write to
the Extension Division, Univer
sity of Arkansas and U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, Little
Rock or Fayetteville, or to Dean
of the College of Agriculture,
Fayetteville. See the county
agent, R. H. Abbey of McCrory,
about inoculating material.
The man who opposes Amend
ment !,ro. 12 is an enemy of edu
cation and enlightenment. The
next step would be opposition to
churches, and all forms of pro
gressiveness.
Speaking of the ‘ ‘buy-at-home’ ’
movement, a prominent visitor
to our town said: “It is a fine
thing in theory, and the city and
country newspapers are doing
everything they possibly can to
foster it. It is a pity that they
are not receiving the co-opera
tion they should from dealers and
merchants.
The fall term of the Medical
Department of the University
of Arkansas will open in Little
Rock on September 18 with a
large enrollment.
