SELL COTTON ON GRADE.
Mr. Grower, do you sell your
cotton according to its grade and
the value of that grade, or do yru
and the neighbors lump it all to
gether. the bad and the good, and
accept an average price? G od
middling 183^ cents, low middling
17,34 cents, a difference of 1 cent
per pound or $5 per ba'e. are the
figu es shown by the quotation cf
the Litt:e Rock Cotton Exchange
for Nov. 6. The man who grows
good cotton shoufd get the price of
good cotton and the only way to do
that is to sell on grade. If this is
not customary at your local market
ar.d you do not know the cot
ton grades, write the Extension
Division. Lr.tle Rock. Ark. The
expert cotton grader from the U.
6. Detartment Agriculture will
send tags for the bales and samples
and bags for mailing the samples to
Little Rock. The grader will give
a prompt reply showing grade and
staple. With that knowledge the
owner is in position to sell for its
real value. Try it Write for this
assistance which is free to n ! cot
ton growers.
SAVE COTTCN S D
With cotton seed bringing n etv
five cents per bushel at the m ils
this fall, there is no telling what
price may be asked next spring for
planting seed More than that,
the indications are that there will
be a shortage of seed in the spring.
Leaders in Mississippi see the
danger nov and are urging the
people to save plahting seed from
their own crop. The College of
Agriculture has already been ad
vised by well known cotton breed
ers of Mississippi that they will
have no seed for us and ask that
no orders be referred to them.
Let every Arkansas farmer protect
himself by saving a supply of cot
ton seed for planting purposes.
They will not be injured if
stored in lots of less than five
bales. Save the seed you have.
THE SWEET POTATO HCUSE PAYS.
No man who grows any consid
erable quanity of sweet potatoes
should attempt to get ah ng with
out a storage house. An inexpen
sive house large enough U> take
care of the potatoes on place will
more than pay for itself in the po
tatoes it keeps from rotting. The
house might very well be made
large enough to care for the pota
toes^ the tenant as well as tho-e
of the landowner. It is an easy
matter to separate th° bins. Ven
tilation and rapid drying aftnr dig
ging are requisites for the keeping
of sweet pototoes. These can be
controlled best in the potato house.
The maintenance of an even tem
perature of 50 to 55 degrees can
be provided for with a lantern or
small oil stove in case of severe
weather. Arkansacas Bulletin
No. 19.4 describing the construc
tion and use of the sweet potato
storage hr use can be had by 'writ

United Charities Society.
All persons interested in the or
ganization of a United Charities
(society in Huttig are requested to
! be present at a meeting to be held
in the parlors of the Union hotel at
7:30 o'clock Monday night. Nov.
120. This is fast becoming the
manner in all cities of looking after
; those who , really need help and
does away with considerable graft
ing that is always done by some
' people. Should such a society be
-formed all money and clothing
i would be given out to the needy by
! the secretary only after a thorough
investigation and the imposter
would get nothing. When handled
in this manner each resident can
figure out just how much they in
tend to give each year to charities
and give that amount to the socie
ty to become a part of its funds.
Sugar Treatment of Wounds.
German army doctors are using
sugar with great success in the
treatment of wounds, it is reported.
The method is simple. The wound
is dressed with granulated sugar.
I and then bound. The sugar does
1 not act as s disinfectant, and must
not be applied until the bleeding
has been arrested. But when ap
plied to a clean wcund su face
healing proceeds with astonishing
rapidity.
No washing of the wound is oec
essary when redressing, which it.
merely a matter of renewing the
application of sugar every second
or third day. The sugar dressing
ns also the advantage that there
;s no adhesion to the flesh.

Failles Told of the Cat.
Tilt* eats of Alexandria \vt re looked
on as so many images of Nolljh. or the
Pallas of Sais, a goddess worshiped
both liy Creeks and Egyptians, and it
! passed into a proverh with tin Creeks
j when they spoke of two things twins;
j unlike, to say that they resembled each
| other as mm-li as a eat resembled I ’it 1
i las. It is to Alexandria that we trace
tin* story of a cat turned into a lady to
please a prince who had fallen in love
w i til it. The lady, however, when
dressed in her bridal robes, could not
' help scampering about the room to
] catch a mouse seen upon the tbair and
j when Plutarch was in Egypt It had al
i ready become a proverb that anyone
overdressed was as awkward as u cat

Opportunities.
Is only another way of saying "Ready at the right time
and the right place.’’ No matter how many good chances
to make money come, you cannot take advantage of them
unless you have prepared yourself to take hold of them.
How many times have you seen good chances to make
money if only you had the money saved up to make a be
ginning? How many good bargains in farms or stock have
you let go by because you lacked funds?
The only way to take advantage of your opportunities
is to be ready and waiting for them with money enough laid
3 up to make the right beginning.
We will appre elate your account and take pleasure in
seeing it grow. The man who builds up a good account
from his earnings can always get help at this bank if he
should need to borrow. Start today to get ready for the
opportunities that are sure to come to you by opening up an
account at this bank.
