Pete Barber had his car very
much decorated Tuesday with

The young people of this vicin

The girls spent Monday night at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gas

Davis. Early Tuesday morning
they “embarked” in a two-horse
wagon and proceeded to Pine
Tree chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs.
Davis where they spent a most
glorious 4th. A picnic and ball
game constituted the day’s pro
gram which closed with a dance
that night. The boys delighted
the crowd with several musical
numbers. All returned home
Tuesday night about three
o’clock.

Made In Arkansas.
Arkansas will have more
neighborhood fairs this year than
ever before. Why not in addi
tion to exhibits of farm and gar
den and kitchen have at every
fair an exhibit of local shop
made goods. In most communi
ties there is a mechanic who
turns out some .special work
that should be shown to the pu
blic. ' If not in the immediate
neighborhood there may be some
thing made in the wider trading
territory that will be worth see
ing. Exhibit goods made in
Arkansas, flour, shoes, brooms,
tables, printed cards, letterheads
circulars, etc.
The Cost of Weeds,
Few people can realize the
enormous cost of one weed. A
careless traveler or a bird may
drop one weed seed that may
cost a county or a state millions
of dollars. Then American far
mers let weeds ripen and the
seeds are scattered by winds and
birds and sold with hay to infest
other neighborhoods. “A stitch
in time saves nine” will be truer
of weeds than of almost anything
else. The children should be
taught to “swat weeds and never
let one ripen seed. Within the
next thirty days very many
noxious weeds will ripen if let
alone. “Swat em” and save
future labor and soil fertility
and soil moisture.
The ladies of the Christian
Church would like for every one
to save all their old papers and
magazines and they will collect
them about once a month.
