The tariff bill is under fire and
ought to be. How can we expect the
world to be able to buy from us un
less we buy something from them?
The farmers of Winthrop have out
something like 200 acres in strawber
ries and will he able to ship in car
lots next year. They are shipping in
smaller lots tills year. The straw
berry is one of the safest of the crops,
md should be grown all over the
tounty. If each farmer had from a
tuarter to an acre in berries he would
enow exactly where the tax money
vas coming from. The ideal farm is
he one that does not go too strong on
my one thing, but has something to
sell throughout the season. The {
strawberry is the earliest crop mar
keted with the exception of some ear,
y vegetables. We are' going t6 havt
;o come to more diversitied systems
Increased taxes and expenditure*,
nust be getting out of the old rut.
This week a merchant in Caney,
Kansas, tried out publicity in a way
that it has not been tried before with
such results that gossiping it that
town ha's had a huge setback. It got
rumored about that this man and his
wife were maybe, well, there was a
Haw in their marriage somewhere.
Tuesday everyone in town got a free
ticket to the picture show and went
wondering. When the spotlight was
turned on the stage there stood the
gentleman and his wife and between
them a document, a certificate of mar
riage, the officiating minister and wit
nesses to the marriage plainly to be
read. Everybody was sorry, all shook
hands, took their medicine and every
body was happy again.
Col. “Coin” Harvey is out with a,
bran new cure for all the economic!
ilia of mankind, and in order to revo-'
h/;ionize the world, human nature'
and all the rest of it he has hatched
out two fraternal orders, one for the
men and one for the women. The
remedy for all ills as set out by the
advance literature is the abolishment
of interest. This new plan may prove
very popular, but the Colonel over
looked a good bet when he failed to
include non-payment of the principal.
We don’t think the new scheme de
serves discussion, but had you noticed
the number of new flags that social
ism is sailing under today? Some
new thing is started under some new
name by some new savior that when
investigated proves to be just plain
socialism.
The heavy rains throughout they
section Wednesday have retarded
farming operations, and no doubt
have caused damage to land. The
crops that had been planted may no:
be so seriously damaged as one mighi
suppose. The seed in many instance.
had sprouted and a good deal was al
ready up. It is unlikely that anj
great amount will have to be plantec^
over. Small streams were floodeiA
Still when we consider conditions irA
other sections we can believe that we
still have occasion to be thankful. It
could have been much worse. It is
doubtful if much of the Mississippi
River country will be able to grow a
crop at all this year, while a great
threat still hangs over the entire val
ley.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
STRENGTH '
One must be very blind, or the r
oughly wrapped up in himself and his
own petty affairs, who does not find
healthful and life-renewing interest in
such events as the track and field
meet of last Saturday, which bring
together in our midst young men from
widely scattered communities to vie
with each other in feats of strength
and endurance.
Who. indeed, can watch such contests
or read of them in the newspapers,
without feeling his own heart go out
toward these youngsters as they glory
in their youthful strength, and strive
toward greater perfection in the com
petitions of field and track Who can
be a spectator at such meets without
taking a wistful glance back over the
Road to Yesterday when he, too per
haps, felt the thrill of life calling to
physical contest and combat?
Everybody is younger, and strong
er and saner, and more appreciative
of life and real living by reason of
the influences that go out from these
meets, the very flower of our educa
tional activities. How good it is to
know that this emphasis on the value,
the real pricelessness of physical
'strength is being placed in every
school and every institution of learn
ing in American today! How com
| pletely have we gotten back, after
years of delusaon and following after
False Gods, to the truth discerned cen
turies ago by John Locke when he
said: “A sound mind in a sound body,
is a short but full description of a
happy state in this world. He that
has these two has little more to wish
for and he that wants either of them,
will be but little better for anything
el3e.
“He whose mind directs not wisely,
j will never take the right way; and he
whose body is crazy and feeble, will
never be able to advance in it.”
As a nation we have learned anew
this lesson, and because of it, are mov
ing forward with a sureness and a
• rapidity never before thought possible
j As individuals, let us not forget it,
’reaching so intently after mental beno
J fits that we neglect the physical and
:teo fall into the pit.—Arkansas Demo

Perhaps they had Zeke’s nddress In
letters up in the garret, maybe a chest
full of ’em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people nre
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke’s ad
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and

“MORE BUSINESS
IN GOVERNMENT”
This apt phrase was used in Presi
dent Harding’s first message to Con
gress and applies particularly In postal
management where postmasters are
being impressed with the fact that
they are managers of local branches
of the biggest business in the world.
HERE COMES A STRANGER!
Let’s make our post office look neat,
Mr. Postmaster. Straighten up the
rural letter box, Mr. Farmer. Tidy
up some, Mr. Rural Carrier. First
impressions are lasting. Maybe Mr.
Stranger, taking notice of these Im
provements, will come back, bringing
you benefits. Start these with ‘‘POS

HUMANIZING THE
POSTAL SERVICE
‘‘There is no unimportant person or
part of our service. It is a total of
human units and their co-operation is
the key to its success. In Its last
analysis, postal duties are accommo
dations performed for our neighbors
and friends and should be so regarded,
I rathe than as a Hired service per
j formod for an absentee employer.’’—

TO HELP IN FARM
BUREAU CAMPAMH
American Farm Bureau Federation
Treasurer Promises Assistance
for' Arkansas,
' ' V, -'l A
Little Rock, April 27.—The Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation in its
membership campaign which will
start June 1. it was announced by
Charles E. Gunnels of Chicago, treas
urer of the American Federation, dar
ing a visit here yesterday. The ok*
ject of tha Arkansas campaign' Will
be to ipcrease*' the membership of the
Farm Bureau a3 well as of the
ous commodity xliarketlug asssfSk
tidns, with special emphasis giveri' *fb
the Arkansak Cotton Growers’ Co-og*
erative Association.
Mr. Gunnels said that he is sure
that the American Federation will be
able to send one or two workers to
assist after the Arkansas campaign
has been started and also he promis
'd that the national organization
’ublicity Department will help id the
mblicity campaign. He promise#
hat he will use his influence to in
iuce J. R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Fedei’ation to
visit Arkansas during the campaign.
Mr. Gunnels was en route to Loui
siana to inspect the Farm Bureau or
ganization work that is being done
in that state and stopped off to visit
•.he headquarters of the 'Arkansas or
ganization.
He said that the American Federa
tion is in better shape than ever be
fore and that it is growing rapidly.
He said that Farm Bureaus now eit
ist in 47 states and that the member
ship is fast increasing.
F. M. Cooper of Stuttgart, who has
been In Louisiana jaaaing tne rioe
growers of that state to form a co*
»perative marketing association, also

Membership of the Arkansas Rice
Growers’ Association. This associa
:ion will hold its annual election of
officers the latter part of May and it
is hoped to greatly increase the mem
bership before that time. The asso
ciation now includes in its member
ship growers who produce about 85
per cent of the state's rice crop and it
is hoped to increase this to 95 per
cent before the election. The fact
that association members have been
receiving much better prices for their
rice than have the nonmembers is ex
pected to make it easy to secure new
members.
Committee .Meeting in Memphis.
John ‘D. Eldridge, secretary-treas
urer of the Arkansas Cotton Growers’
Co-operative Association, yesterday
announced that the association’s Ex
ecutive Committee will meet in Mem
phis at the Peabody hotel next Mon
lay morning. The committee memb
ers wish to meet several men who are
applicants for positions as heads of
various departments and it was found
more convenient for all concerned
to hold the meeting in Memphis rath
er than in Little Rock.
