AWAKE
Whenever I have an oppor
tunity to say or write a word
in the interest of agriculture
I feel that I have not only per
formed a duty but rendered a
service. I see so much to do
that I have time for but little.
I wish that all men would keep
these lines of the peot in mind.
“I slept and dreamed that
life was beauty, but woke and
found that life was duty.” *
Are you not becoming very
prone to think that our whole
duty is to ourselves? and does
not such thinking tend to nar
row our vision and make us
selfish? In other words we do
not see beyond ourselves.
All men should lern to know
their duty s a citizen. In so
doing they will learn to ob
' serve the fatherhood of God
and the brothe^Jiood of man.
We must break away from the
cultivation of self thought or
it wil make us become dollar
mad and dethrone our reason
| for democracy. There are
| times, when for the public
| good, selfish interests must be
come subordinate to public in
terests.
inis prenmiary is 10 concen
trate -your thoughts upon a
I very important public matter,
the bonded wrehouse, an agen

products; an agency to encour
age the farmer and facilitate
the marketing of his product
an agency that will increase
his profits and swell his bank
account and make him a boos

take out your watches and
take your minds off your pri

public matter. The Bonded

Now write a letter to Jim
G. Ferguson, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Little Rock, and
ask him what you can do to
promote the building of bond

five minutes of concentrated
thought all over the statp for
the public good and the letter
you have written is going t’o re
sult in the building of many
bonded warehouses.

HARRY LAUDER ON
THRIFT STAMPS
‘T contend that the man who
invests in government securi
ties (” says Harry Lauder, the
eminent Schotch comedian
“who buys War Savings StamPs
is investin ing the welfare of
his country and the welfare of
those depending upon him.
War Savings sStamps will win
the war. By that I do not con
sider the war ended until the
world has secured a comforta
ble settlement for all maimed
and wounded men who got
their wounds in the war.
FARMERS SHIP HOGS
A co-operative shipment of
hogs will b# made from Mc
Crory about July 15, by nine
of the enterprising farmers of
this section. The hogs to be
shipped are being fed out so
as to receive as good a price as
possible on the open market
I in competition with the choice
| hogs from other sections of the
' country.
It is hoped that when the
j returns from this load are
j made public that many such
shipments will be made from
the county, thereby saving the
fellows who produc^ the stuff
the profit made by the local
buyers. Cooperative shipping
of livestock is being featured
in some counties of the state
and is proving to be very sat
isfactory.
We believe that the men
who are preparing their hogs
Woodruff County are to be
congratulated upon having the
public spirit to takA the lead
in this movement for the bet
erment of the county and we
trust .that their hopes for a
greater Woodruff County, ag
riculturally, will become a re
ality.
Following is the names of
the men who are going to ship
the hogs: J. F. Morgan, John
Koors, Lee Miller, W. G. Dil
liard, D. M. Burkette, Ed
Woodard, F. P. Wright, Jeff
Mitchell and H. D. Angus.
County Agent Webb tells us
that he would like to get in
touch with any farmers who
have hogs or cattle that they
expect to sell. He will be glad
to explain in detail just how
a cooperative shipment of the
livestock is made. Write tb
him today.
