Interesting Visiting
The regular monthly meeting of
the Huttig School Improvement
Association held at the church
Tuesday night was well attended
and considerable interest manifest-,
ed. The election of officers for
the coming year resulted as fol
lows:
President Mrs. C. A. Berry.
Vice-Pres. Mrs. D. A. Keasler.
Secretary—Mrs. C. Howard.
Treasurer Mrs. A. E. Lucas.
Executive Committee Officers
and Mesdames Brignac, Wood and
Clowney.
The following committees were
then announced:
Membership Committee Messrs
J. A. Brignac. A. E. Lucas, C. T.
Thompson, Mesdames D. M. Clow
ney and C. T. Thompson and Miss
Lula Harrington.
Entertainment Committee Mes
dames W. H. Moore and F. E.
Wood and Miss Mary Herndon.
Interior Committee—Mrs L. F.
Magee. Miss Luta Ballard and L. S.
Herrink.
Exterior Committee - Mesdames
J. T. Breed and H. C. Bedford and
Miss Ruth Smith.
Library Committee—L. S. Her
rink, Dr. J. E. Cashin and Mrs. D
M. Clowney.
It was decided to make the mem
bership fee 50 cents per year for
each member and the majority of
those present paid that night.
The report of the Secretary
showed that the cash on hand in
cluding the dues paid that night to
be $54.45, which should easily
reach $100.00, if every parent and
others interested in the better
ment of the school will give in
their membership and pay the 50
cent fee.
Prof. Horrink was called upon to
state what was neede J most at the
school and named a number of
items such as maps, globes, diction
aries. a library and especially a
d'inking fountain.
The committee on interior were
instructed to at once purchase the
needed things in their line and the
exterior committee will look after
the drinking fountain and having
the gates repaired and the lattice
work around the basement put
back in place.
As soon as possible arrange
ments will be made for installing a
reference library which will be a
great help to the pupils, and 'the
matter of oiling the floors to keep
down the dust and many other
things that will go to the bettering
of conditions in and out of the
school room will be taken up.
The opportunity for good work
offered by this association is next
to the church and every patriotic
citizen of Huttig, especially every
parent, should be a member of the
organization and a live wire in it.
By broadening the scope of the
school work and making the rooms
attractive we are ading the coming
generation to better fit themselves
for the battle before them and we
will have their heartfelt gratitude
in years to come which should be a
reward for labor to be cherished
by all.
The regular meetings of the as
sociation will be held at the Union
church the first Tuesday night of
each month and we hope to have a
crowded house on Tuesday night,
November 4.
Shortage of Dairy Cows.
Much is written and said about
the dairy cow. and to some the term
may be confusing. The dairy cow
we are interested in most is the
plain unpretentious old cow on the
farm that furnishes milk and butter
for tup tatniij.
otto

vwik I I Ic. . V.
to the women and children of this
country and her worth must not
be under-estimated. 1 have a spe
cial reason for dicussing the cow
right now. It will soon be time for
the tick quarantine to be raised
until next Spring and then cattle
buyers will be going through the |
country and buying up the cows to
ship out to the cattle raisers in the |
north and west. Remember that
the old family cow is not only the
dependance for milk and butter,
but she is the mother of the calves. 1
and with the cows we cannot have ;
cattle in the future as we have in
the past.’
There are not more than one
third as many cows in circulation j
in Arkansas now as there were five j
years ago; all because shrewd cat- j
tie men of the north and west have •
been far-seeing enough to learn
that the cattle were decreasing and j
the price increasing. Hundreds of i
our farmers have sold off their cat- i
tie including their cows, because
they were offered a good price, j
Now when everybody knows the
high price of cattle on the market;
many of our farmers who would ;
raise cattle are going to find the ;
supply of cows so small that they !
cannot get started. So look out;
for the cows before it is too late. !
If the cattle raisers of other states!
can come into our midst, buy our,
cows, pay the top prices for them. 1
pay the local buyer a profit, pay j
for driving them to town, then the ;
freight on them 500 miles, and I
take them to a country where they
have to be kept in barnes and pas
tures and fed six months or more
in the year, and use them for
breeding purposes and make money
out of the transaction, our own
I people can certainly well afford to
'keep them at home, and make
1 more money by refusing to sell.
I was on the train between New
York and Chicago one day last
week, and met a farmer who lived
400 mi.es northwest of Chicago.
He told me he was coming to North
Arkansas in a month or two to buy
a few carloads of hogs to ship to
his farm and feed from his corn
; crop, and when fat to ship back to
; the Chicago market. I told him I
hoped our people would know
enough to keep their hogs. Too
often they do not however, and it
may be that this Iowa farmer will
buy enough hogs in Arkansas to
■ eat his crop of corn, and after hav
ing been shipped over a thousand
: miles and fattened, and then back
to Chicago and butchered, and after
the lard and fat has been pressed
out by hydraulic pressure, the
| same hogs may be shipped back
into Arkansas to be so'd to the
farmer who raised th^m and who
'in the meantime has mortgaged
his labor and is struggling to make
enough cotton to Day for it in the
Fall. Let us hope that nothing
like this will be true, but it is not
extravagant to say it will occur if
the people do not stop selling off
so closely their cattle and hogs and
go to making their meat at home.
With the present prices of meat and
butter and milk there is nothing
raised on the farm that the farmer
can afford to give in exchange for
them without suffering a loss in the
exchange when we calculate the
the cost of production. Think of
these things'.
By all means keep the cows, the
calves and the hogs. You can
better afford to keep them than the
fellow from the north can afford
to buy. You certainly have got
the cost of transportation in your
favor, so keep them.

AIIKANS \S STATt fAIR
Big Things nf P.iftlr. ilnr Stitrwidr Interest
Hi (he 1911 fxppriitinn
Never in tne history of the Ark
ansas State Fair has there been so
many big features designed to ap
peal especially to Arkanaas and to
the loyalty and patriotism of the
people of the state. More than
ever before will the coming exposi
tion be an Arkansas fair.
First and foremost the new flag
of Arkansas one of the most beau
tiful state emblems in all the coun
try. will be duly christened and
officially uufurled at the opening
ceremonies, with a big spectacular
patriotic pageant and display.
"The model of the battleship Ark
ansas, the gieatest sea fighting
machine afloat, will be on exhibit in
charge of a naval guard of honor
from the navy department. The
model is 18 feet long and affords a
splendid idea of the mightiness of
the craft.
The county exhibits from every
section of the state will be an in
dustrial and agricultural contest in
which the soil and productiveness
of very county of the state will
vie the honors.
The boys and girls corn and can
ning clubs wil' bring together the
boys and girls of the state who are
interested in the study of agricul
tural—the men and women of the
future who will make the state
fair.
Tnere are many other features
of particular state interest, the
students live stock judging contest,
the state and county poultry com
petition with manv special cash
prizes and tropnies for Arkansas
products.
This of all years, should be the
one in which the people of Arkan
sas should manifest their interest
in the state as reflected through
the 1913 Arkansas State Fair.
Causes Further Talk.
Because so many people are
telling their experience with Hunt's
Lightning Oil for Headaches, Rheu
matism. Neuralgia, etc., others are
lead to give it a trial, and are con
vinced rmmediatly of its merits as
a pain killer. Are you yet to be
convinced? Ask the Druggist.
J. N. Taylor for Surveyor
I
The News this week carries in
its announcement column that of
J. H. Taylor, of Lapeer, Lapile
township, for the offi e of surveyor
of Union county, subject to the ac
tion of the Democratic primary
next March. Mr. Taylor is a na
tive of this county and well known
to a big majority of the vote s of
this township and we bespeaK for
him a fair consideration of his
claims by the voters of the rest of
the county. • This end of the coun
ty needs a citizen in this office as
it has been impossible to secure
the services of this official many
times in this section when they
were needed badly. Mr. Taylor
promises to give prompt and con
scientious service if nonored with
the office. Remember his candi
dacy when you vole.

C. W. Smith for Circuit Ju Igi.
The announcement of Judge C.
W. Smith as a candidate for Judge
of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit,
subject to primary election to
be held November 1st, appears in
today’s News.
Judge Smith is too well f nown to
the people of Union county to need
any introduction at our hands.
He served this district a number of
years as its Circuit Judge in which
capacity he served so well arid
satisfactory to the people, and with
such digmtv. justice and honor to
the bench, that he v accorded
the honor of being one of tn test
jurist that eyer graces a bench in
Arkansas.
He is a 'awyer of high ability,
and as an authority on judicial ;
matters he ranks among the best
lawyers in the state. That his |
administration of justice would be I
a fair and impartial one. nobody
doubts, and his capability is un
questioned.
The voters a’-e urged to giveJudge
Smith's claims the fullest con
sideration in the selection of a sue.
cessor to John Hays at the Nov
ember primary.

Wc Have Teen
Especially Pleased
With the Character and sour
ces of the compliments recent
ly paid our store.
Repeatedly has it been said by visitors
unquestionably qualified to express them
selves, upon the subject. THAT NO other
large collection of furniture in this section
is of such uniform merit, or as widely
representative of the really best sources
or offers more generous measures of
VALUE at the prices asked.
An official tour of inspection and in
vestigation, just completed through the
principal stores and shops of the larger
eastern cities, gives us the best of reasons
for believing these comments have been
sincere and well founded. Careful com
parisons make us more proud than ever
ol our store, and confiim our belief that
nowhere can furniture and accessories
be purchased to better advantage than
here.
Our buyer has just returned from his
Eastern trip, where he bought the largest
stock we hav6 ever had. These goods
will be coming in from day to day. so
rur store will be full of bright new' goods.
vVe most cordially invite you to wrta us
about your HOME wants and to look
hrough our various exhibits, when you
are in Monroe, whether or not you may
desire to buy.
