More than 4du meetings com- ;
prising lectures in 10 counties in
Arkansas is the work that has been
accomplished in the first ten days
of the Arkansas Profitable Farm
ing Campaign. so auspiciously
launched in Little Rock last week. *
A conservative estimate of the to
tal attendance, placing an average i
of 2.500 for each county, shows'
that 25,000 farmers in Arkaesas
received lessons in diversification
from a corps of about 50 practical
agricultural experts.
During the first ten days the
following counties have been
thoroughly canvassed: Pulaski,
Lonoke, Prairie, Monroe, Phillips,
Jefferson, Saline, Grant and St.
Francis and in each county farm
ers displayed intense enthusiasm
in the system of diversification as
presented by the lecturers. Many
of them have already made prepa
rations to cut their cotton acreage
more than 50 per cent and in a
great number of communities farm
ers who have been practicing ai
versification on an experimenta'
basis in past years have announced
their intention of cutting the cot
ton acreage to one-fourth of the
average planting.
In nearly every county a large
per cent of the farmers knowing
how much their welfare depends
upon a system of farming where
food for themselves and livestock
is grown have sowed winter oats,
wheat and are planting larger gard
ens? An interest in livestock,
hitherto unknown, is everywhere
manifested and almost all of them
have adopted the slogan, “There
can be no permanent system of
agriculture without livestock.”
The plan for the campaign and
the work of the campaign itself is
doing more good to advertise Ar
kansas than anything else has ever
done," says one of the leading men
of the state. "Newspapers in all
parts of the South are calling at
tention to the work that is being
done here and asking why similar
work cannot be carried on in their
sections of the country. This will
not only be the best thing that Ar
kansas has ever done for herself,
but it will be the best advertising
tha state ever had in its entire his
tory and Arkansas needs good
advertising in other states, for she
has many fine things to advertise,
such as productive soil, good peo- i
pie and fine climate.”
The Income Tax Returns Disappointing.
Much to the disappointment of j
popular fiction writers, there are
only 44 persons in the Unitea
States whcJfce incomes are more
than $1,000,000 annaully, accord
ing to a report just issued by -thr
Treasury Department. The tota!
j number of income tax payers last
year was 358.000 and approxi
mately 30.000 of them were worn
en. Most of the persons paying
income taxes receives annual in
comes of from $3,333 to $5,000

fLLL CRLW SWAM PL I),
People of Missouri Repudiate Measure by
164,492 Majority.
Gomplete official figures shew
the majority given by the State of
Missouri against the Full Crew bill
to be three times as great as the
estimate based on early returns
There were 324.085 votes against |
and 1 £9.593 in favor, a majority |
>f 164.492 in opoosit'on to the bill,
making the vote more than two to
me against it. Outside of the I
r.hree principal cities, St Louis,
Kansas City and St. Joseph, the
neasure received only 86.660
/otes in the state and was beaten
jy a ratio of about three to one.
The farmers in every section vo
.ed almost solidly against it.
The city of St. Louis, in which
he Brotherhood of Trainmen
looked for a big majority for their
bill, went against it by 18 417
votes. In Kansas City, where it
was aided by a local political fight
and in St. Joseph, where its friends1
made an especially vigorous cam
paign, it carried.
Especial interest was attached
to the election all over the United
States, as it was the first time any
regulation affecting railroads was
submitted to the people. W. G.
Lee of Cleveland, Ohio, national
head of the'Brotherhood of Train
men, came to Missouri arid person -
ally conducted the campaign for
his organization. The Missouri:
statutes prevents the roads making1
an active campaign, whereas the
members of the Trainmen's Union
were free to work as they saw fit
in behalf of the measure and spent
vast sums of money. The majori
ty cast against the bill is one of the
greatest in the history of Missouri,
and is far bigger than the state has
ever given any candidate for office.
After the legislature passed the
measure, the railroads, under the
referendum, brought it before the
people for a vote. Railroau offic
ials are jubilant over the results
and declare it is a striking and un
controvertible evidence that the
farmers and people of the state
generally are now in sympathy
with the transportation companies
and in favor of giving them fair
play, and that Railroad baiting has
ceased to be popular.

Things We Think
Thing, Others Think, and What We think
of the Things Others Think.
After a girl’s been married a
couple of years, she begins to think
of what she might have amounted
to.
An honest man can get away
with things that would bring vitu
peration and abuse upon the known
hypocrite.
Delirious love and intoxicating
love must be somewhat alike.
Men and women are reverse and
inconsistant anyway. A man
would't walk on the street w th a
woman who had a cigar stuck in
her mouth or who was squirting
tobacco juice into the gutter, and a
woman wouldn’t walk down the ■
strsetwitha man whose outside
clothing allowe i his underclothes
to show throug 1.
The pouty o- prtulait fxpress
ion does not innprcv > a girl’o coks.
but nevertheless it has a < t range at
traction for the young m»n in love
with her.
Whenaycuig man gets to nib
bling at a girl’s lips the chances
are that he is going to bite.
Just because a person has been
sold it is no sign that he can be
bought.
We notice a news item about a
man finding a can of old coins
while digging for fish worms That
was good fortune but a bad preced
ent.
The man who smiles while pay
ing his taxes and says they are too
low. may be an optimist, but we'd
call him an idiot.
If people acted in real life like
they do in novels we would have to
revise the penal code.
Probably a majority of people in
this old world dread death, yet they
are continually wishing for *he
time to pass that brings them near
er to some object of the h^art and
also closer to that whioh thev
dr ad. \
If you pose as an example you
must expect to be worked.
It doesn’t necessarily follow that
a woman physici m has mor j pat
ients than a male physician.
In a new novel the lover drops
kisses from an aeroflaie to his
sweetheart on board an oc^an liner.
The old style wheie you hold her
tight to you and feel her heart
throb every time the lips meet is
good enough for us. Under such
i circumstances it is easy enough to
, believe that you are traveling on
air. __ _ «\
