Governor Nays Preparing to See Our State
Represented at Panama Exposition.
Gov. G. W. Hays is now working
upon his general committee which
will undertake and successfully
carry through the raising of $100,
000 to build, equip and maintain an
Arkansas building at the Panama
Pacific Exposition. This commit
tee will be named some time during
the following week. There will be
one committeeman to each county,
and from the general commission
of 75 members an executive com
mittee of about ten will be selected
to actively carry forward the plans.
It will be the duty of each coun
ty committeeman to organize a
county campaign, naming his gen
eral committee for the county, get
ting one man for each township,
and looking to this man for the
subscriptions allotted to him. The
general state committee will first
meet and according to the wealth
of the county, its advantages, and
the benefits it will derive through a
display at the San Francisco Expo
sition. will depend the amount that
will be assessed against it. The
committeeman from this county
will be present when the allottment
is made, and he may accept his
burden, or demur, like a property
owner going before the county
court for a tax reduction. It is
thought the division of the sum to
be raised can be so apportioned,
however, that there will be a gen
eral willingness to jump in and raise
the money in short order.
From all sections of the state
come messages applauding the
action of Gov. Hays in taking the
*- step for. an Arkan.s*s exhibit
in San Francisco, and not one com
plaint has yet been registered.
This is taken as convincing evi
dence that all Arkansas favors the
project, and that all citizens will
come forward with whatever sum
they can contribute. The building
to be erected is typical of Arkan
sas. and will be one of the most
imposing of the state structures.
While many p’ans for raising the
money have been proposed, the
one most favored is going direct to
the patriotic citizen for it. This is
considered the quickest and surest
way. It means that each county
must raise $ 1.000 and some few
double that amount. This would
take 50 counties raising $1,000
each and the other 25 the sum of
$2,000 each.
Many inquiries have been re
ceived as to how the money is to
be paid in, indicating that the peo
ple of the state are anxious for the
contribution bag to be opened so
they can chip in. They will not
have long to wait now, and their
willingness to give permits the
governor to go ahead with the pre
liminary plans for the building, as
sured that the people of Arkansas
intend to stand behind him.
“No state in the Union has the
chance to display itself at the San
Francisco Exposition like Arkan
sas,” reports George Russ Brown
of Little Rock, who made the trip
to the coast with the party to se
lect the site for the Arkansas
building. "Everywhere we turned
we found people asking about Ar
kansas. The Californians were as
anxious to hear about the unrivaled
resources of Arkansas as the peo
ple from other states. We just
could not dodge people who wanted
to know about Arkansas. If they
feel this way about it now, what
will be the effect after we have
had a dispj&y where miHidns ; of
people pass before it during the
exposition? Every person in Cali
fornia now who has ever been to
Arkansas is a wa'.king booster for
the state. 1 do not limit this to
natives, for about the biggest
boosters for Arkansas in San Fran
cisco are a number of Japs who
formerly operated a store in Hot
Springs. 1 believe we will start as
large an immigration to Arkansas
from the West as would be possible
to bring from the East, as soon as
the people there see our fruit dis
played beside theirs. They ward
to be shown, and we can easi’y
show them.”
The Way It Goes.
Most all the big men in the land
came up from small beginnings; in
youth they toiled to beat the band,
and wisely used their winnings.
But haying won the victor’s crown,
their senses seem to wander; they
keep on salting dollars down for
idle heirs to squander. The self
made man too often cries. “My A1
gernon, dear laddie, won't have to
bust his hooks and eyes, and labor
like his daddy.” So Algy loafs up
on the earth, expensive, gallivanty.
and when grown up he isn’t worth
two whoops in Ypsilanti. He leads
a life of gilded ease, all foolish fads
pursuing, and yet the blind old
daddy sees no harm in what he’s
doing. A life of idleness and sloth
is scorned by men who’ve sweated
and few will ever cut a swath who
pampered are and petted. Whene’r
I hear of gilded youth receiving un
earned riches, I say, "The lucky
lad. forsooth, is he who’s digging
ditches."— Walt Mason.

Commissioner Page's We, k!y letter. •
It is my information that the
rains are general throughout the
state and that the drouth has bem
broken. The crops will now take
on new growth, and cultivation
should continue. All the moisture
that has been taken up by the soil
should be saved for maturing the
crops.
Many of the farmers have made
it a custom in the past to try to
lay-by” their crops by the 4th of
July or as soon thereafter as pos
sible. This is not for the best.
The crops should be cultivated as
long as it is profitable. Keep the
ground stirred and the weeds and
the grass out. The same rain that
gives the crops a new growth will
also give the weeds and grass a
new growth. Continue to cultivate
shallow. The late cultivation in
this way pays. Shallow cultiva
tion will keep the moisture in the
ground. If it continues to rain at
regular intervals so much the bet
ter. If it does not. then you are
prepared to meet a further drouth.
When corn is just now tasseling
it would be well to use about 100
pounds to the acre of nitrate of
soda. Scatter it freely in the mid
dles. If the ground is too dry to
absorb it freely run a light harrow
between the rows. The roots will
find the fertilizer and use it judi
ciously in making grain. It is well
to continue cultivating the corn,
even after it is in the silk. It will
make a bigger yield.
Keep the cotton clean and stir
the soil lightly once a week' if you
can, until the first open boll ap
pears. Cotton responds well to
late cultivation and makes bigger
yields by it. Remember that you
have had ail the trouble, and ex
pense of preparing the seed bed,
planting and early cultivation. Now
we are coming to the period of
fruit making, which is really ^he
i most important Help your crops
I to put on all the*fruit they can.
I If grass and weeus are allowed to
grow in the crops thev will be tak
| ing up a good part of the plant food
| and moisture in the soil that the
j crops would use for making fruit.
To leave your crop without atten
tion at the fruiting period would be
like caring well for your cows until
they begun to give milk, and then
feeding them on the outside where
the hogs and other stock couid
crowd in and eat a part of their
feed, and thus cut down the milk
supply. The plants that make
your crop in the fields gather food
from the soil tnrough moisture and
digest it just as sure as do the ani
mals take food and digest it to get
nourishment for their bodies. Keep
this in mind and exercise your own
good judgment in caring for your
crops. You wou’d not think of
^feeding a hog for pork and when
he gets fat enough turn him out
until killing time. You would con
tinue feeding him ana he would
continue to put on fat. Then treat
your crops as well. Feed your
I crop by cultivating it until it reach
I es the maturing period and it will
| respond to your good treatment.
| Clear some more land this sum
| mer. fall and winter. Good land in
, the woods has no earning capacity.
Good land in cultivation has. Don't
; keep woodland for range if it is
tillable. Put it in cultivation and
make pastures for your stock,
where you can look after them and
j keep them from catching diseases
!from other stock on the range.
More than half the disease among
hogs comes from neglect and run
ning on the range.
See that your h:gs have p'enty
of salt. In fact all stock should
have salt every day. If stock need
salt at all they need it daily, like
man takes his salt. Some farmers
never salt their hogs. That is lit
tle less than criminal.

Eccentric Funerals.
An mormons crowd gathered at
Chester. England, a few months ago,
to witness the funeral of an electrical
engineer, who was carried to the
cemetery in a coffin that had been
laboriously construct cd by himself
out of 4,000 match boxes Those, with
their tons visible and advertising their
respective makers, were varnished
over and strengthened inside with
wood. On the eolTin was placed an
electric battery.
Some years ago a maiden lady died
at Caleinie-surl.ys. in France, who
was reported to have been a cham
pion snuff taker. Her funeral was
most, extraordinary. Her wish was
that her coffin should be filled with
tobacco, the floor of the mortuary
chamber carpeted with it. and the
heir to the property charged to scat
ter tobacco before the hearse on the
way to the cemetery.
Good Boy!
The late Charles H. Rrittlng, pro

Mr. Brltting thought little of aci- j
entific management, and efficiency en
gineering. He said one day of an efh- j
(iency engineer:
“Blank is a fool, and I thought he'd
go broke. But*, by jingo, the fellow!
lias deceived me. He has discovered !
a labor-saving device, and hi3 ad- !
dress will be Easy street from now
on.”
■'Hood bov Blank!" said an actor.
“And what labor-saving device has he
discovered ?"
“An elderly widow.” Mr. Brltting
answered—“an elderly widow with a
million who has consented to marry
him.”

Your Highest Patriotism \
Should ever be shown lo those dependent upon you.
The lessor of July 4t.h teaches this, for our forefathers'
first thought was to defend their firesides. Else we would
not have a July 4th to celebrate.
How many men there are who fail to protect their
families by trusting to uncertain speculation rather than to
the certain method of a bank account. Many of them
shoot to the front in spectacular fashion and win the pub
lic's acclaim.
BUT THEN THEY FALL, and when their aTairs
are cast up it is found that their failure involves those dear
est to them.
The best plan is always to have the bulwark of a bank
account behind you. Play safe, rather than spectacularly
