Northwest Arkansas is de
termined to prove to the world
that it is the great apple section
of the United States. As evi
dence of this fact two full car
loads of the choicest apples, one
from Rogers and one from Ben
tonville. arrived last week and
on exhibition this week at the
State Fair.
The promoters of the Arkan
sas State Fair propose h rv.
strate this week beyond a:i ques
tin'11 that a great state fair can
be operated without a single
horse race. The idea became
prevalent a few years ago that
it would impossible to make a
! success of a Fair unless the prin
cipal features of it centered in
the race track.
The Second Annual State Fair
held in Little Rock is in pi-ogress
this week and is attracting great
i throngs of visitors from all sec
\ tions of the state. It is not a
local institution but one in wnich
i every county is directly inter
ested. Tire exhibit space as well
as the aggregate amountof cash

. horticultural, agricultural, home
1 economics, live stock and other
' departments. Every day is be
ing featured by some special at
traction. The permanency of
the Fair is now assured and each
year will see great improve
ments made. It is hoped that in a
short time the management will
be able to secure desirable
grounds upon which permanent
buildings may be erected.
Tlie Arkansas system of sweet
potatoes certification has been
adopted by Florida, Mississippi

It is the first sweet potatoes
certification system to be car
ried out in the country. At a
meeting- of Federal and State
; plant pathologists and entomo
logists held at Atlanta this
; spring the system was recom
meded for adoption by all south
era states and it is by now thor
oughly established as a standard
. for the South.
| Dr. L. L. Harter of the tJ. S.
Dept, of Agriculture who is with
out doubt the country’s foremost
authority on sweet ptate diseas
es said of the Arkansas system
that it was the most important
step that had ever been taken to

toe crop is lost aomualy on ac
count of diseases.
Members of the legislature
who wish to secure a desirable

looked at me: for a while I could
do no more than look at them.
They assured me it was all mine,
but I could hardly believe my
eyes. They continued to come in

more completely coverd; cover

things to eat. Flour, honey,
much fruit of many kinds, a nice
flock of thorough bred Plymoth

things too numerous to mention.
We truly thank these kind heart

bless their warm hearts; a more
noble band is not to l>e found on

only stand by their pastor, (in
every way) but by each other,
and strongly for the cause for

This shower, it is tryie, is
worth much to Us in a material
way, but its value in dollars and
cents does not count quiet so
much to us as its expression of
that love and appreciation that
prompted the generous gift.
A thankful pastor,

How Money Grows

Just the small sum of $1.00 deposited each year at
compound interest for a period of 50 years, amounts
to $307.75 That’s how money grows.
Suppose a young man at 20 years of age decided
to deposit only the dollar each year. At 70 he would have
the above amount. Or, suppose he had managed to save
and deposit $10.00 each year. At 70 he would have $3 077.
50. Now most any young man could save more than that.
Suppose he put $100 at compound interest each year. At 70
11 it would amount to $30,775.00. How many people at 70 have
II that much?
