Prof. J. L. Bond Delivers Good Ad.iress at
Gnion Church on Subjeit.
It is to be regretted that every
rural school director in Union
county was not present at Union
church last Friday night to hear
Prof J. L. Bond, of the state de
partment of education, on the
“Educational Needs of Arkansas."
The inclement weather kept
many people from attending, but a
fair sized audience was present
and the were amply repaid for
coming out as the professor's talk
was interesting and instructive
throughout.
He illustrated part of his talk
with stereopticon views of former
and present conditions in rural dis
tricts where the consolidation of
several districts had taken place j
and the improved conditions as:
shown in this manner was a very
strong argument in favor of adopt- ,
ing the plan wherever practical.
There are numerous rural dis
tricts in Union county where only
three, four and five month terms of
school are of taught which could
be consolidated and build good
buildings, employ better teachers
and hold at least a seven, if not an
eight or nine month term of school
every year.
Until our farmers realize that a
good school will do more than any
thing toward keeping the boys and
girls on the farms, we are not going
to progress as we should. Consol
idation not only mean better school
facilities, longer terms and better
buildings, but it means a better
religious, moral and social sy.* ;
rounding.
Prof. Bond convinced his hear
ers of all these things and also that
good roads, higher land values im
proved methods of farming, better
stock and contented communities
are the results of such consoli
dated interests. He told of sever
al communities in which consolida
tion had been effected for some
time where the farmers now haul
three and five baies of cotton over
roads where formerly he could only
hiul one and proved his assertior
by showing pictures protr^ying the
past and present conditions and
farm stock scenes showing as
tounding contrasts.
He also spoke in favor of adopt
ing county superintendency of '•
schools and urged all voters to at
tend the school election in May and
vote for this in Union county. He
visited a large number of the rural
schools during last week and has
promieed to return in the near fu
ture and visit the rest.

In a recent letter I discussed the
Doultry industry. I neglected to
say that if all the eggs produced in
Arkansas in one year, were loaded
in refrigerator cars 40 feet long,
containing 400 cases of 30 dozen j
each, they would make a solid train
134 miles long. This is "some
eggs" isn't it? The result of one1
year's work by the humble hens, j
But the hen does not lay all the 1
eggs.
Practically no attention is pa;d
p<*id to the duck as an egg pro
ducer. because the duck egg is
strong and not palatable. Now
there is a duck egg that is palata,
ble and is not strong. In fact when
served on the table it cannot be i
distinguished from the hen egg. |
It is the egg of the Indian Runner
Duck. This is a species of du 'k
new in our state, but very profita
ble. The Indian Runner duck is a
beautiful bird, very fine in flavor
when cooked and served on the
table, and the eggs are white, of
fine flavor, and much larger than
the hen egg.
The Indian Runner duck is
healthy, thrifty and an egg pro
ducer. They will lay f-om 1 50 to
203 eggs a year, and unlike the
other ducks do not qu't laying in
the spring, but keep on the same
as hens. The eggs being larger,
they are worth more on the mark
et. and besides there is always a
demand for the eggs at a dollar a
dozen or more for setting. The
ducks are worth more than hens on
the market, and usually bring from
a dollar to three dollars for breed
ing purposes. They require but
little more water than chickens
and are great hustlers for a living.
They are troubled but 'itrle with
lice or mites and are healthy and
easy to raise. A low house that is
dry is all they need for a roosting
place, and wh'never they are dis
turbed at night by vermin or intru
ders, they make a great noise and
usually wake the family. They
should be on every farm in the
state and I hope our farmers wii
get a start of them and begin to
raise them. They are profitable.
They are raised and for sale in
Pine Bluff. Russellville. Magnolia
and other places.
By consulting the advertising
co'umns cf any poultry or agricul
tural paper, you may learn where
to get the ducks or the eggs. Do
not wait, but get a start now. You
wfij never regret it.

CREVTES ENTHUSIASM.
Miss fva Ibdihardt's Lecture Will Wean
Mach tor Huttig.
Every parent and good citizen of
Huttig should have been at Union
church Tuesday evening to have
heard the excellent address of Miss
Eya Reichardt. who represents the
School Improvement Association
section of the State Department of
Education.
She is an ab'e speaker and has a
faculty of telling things in away
that they soak in as the saying \
goes. We have not’ the space to
record the many good things she
said about this work, suffice to say
that she created a spirit of enthus-:
iasm among the ladies present.1
which we believe will result in
more good to Huttig than anything
that has tak"n piace in our six
years residence here.
A committee was appointed of
one member each from the Young
Woman's Association. Woman's
Missionary Union, Home Mission
Society and the Portfolio Club to
arrange for a meetrng of the mem
bers of those organizations and all
other parents and citizens interest
ed in school and civic improve
ments. and the committee decided
to meet Thursday night at the
church and we hope to be able in
our next issue to chronicle the
glad tidings that a live assocition
with wide-awake officers was
formed which will do things for the
betterment of school, moral and
health conditions in our midst.
There is no telling the good the
women of a community can ac
complish when they band them
selves together and determine to
better conditions and they will
have the hearty co-operation of the
News in their efforts along tnis
line.

He is doing this personally in order
