Target Practice
The most trifling things, or the
ones which seem the most trifl
ing, are the ones which cause
the heavy loss in the telephone
business. The loss in lead cables
by small boys and target rifles
is right now near the head of the
expenses in this column.
Dozens of wires are* grouped
and incased in cables of lead
uhere it is possible to thus hand
le them. They are protected from
the elements and require less
handling. They are also irresti
ble for the small boy and his
small calibre gun. It is easy to
shoot a hole in them, and then
the trouble begins.
If the wires are not punctured
J. e cable is, and after the
tst rain the subscribers reap

wires must be unraveled
dried out before service can

Raise More Poultry.
Yes, more and better poultry
should be a good slogan for all
active farmers. A country gro
cer in Conway county has an
nounced that he will pay twelve
cents per dozen for infertile eggs
all summer although he may pay
as low as five cents for ''“basket
| count” eggs. This is one step.
Now the Extension Service of
| the University of Arkansas and
; U. S. Department of Agriculture
j has been campaigning all year for
I more poultry on the small farms.
! Let fifty laying hens be the mini
| mum limit for any progressive
farm family. Let us study the
poultry business. Send to Exten
sion Division, College of Agricul
ture, Fayetteville for bulletins.
Plant an extra patch of cowpeas
! for the hens for December and
| January and let them run to the
stack or silo after the first of
December. Save the pullets.
Don’t fry them. Eat the old hens
and the young roosters.
Honey For Sale.
I have a large supply of first
class, No. 1 honey for sale. Price
eight and one third cents per
pound. Call or write J. M. Al
ford, Grays, Ark. Adv. 2t.

The life of a telephone opera
tor is not always a hum drum af
I fair. There are many communi
! ties in which th^ residents appre
| ciate the emergency work of the
; operators, and their ever readi
j ness to render assistance. Ben
I tonville is a community of this
kind. The operators there, hav
I ing much rural work on their
boards, are close friends to the
rural residents and several bar
rels of apples have recently been
1 sent to the operators, and the
i Sheriff of Benton county recent
