Few Showers In This Section.
The cotton crop import for this
week issued by T. J- Gregg, man
ager of the Lesser-Goldman
Cotton Company, reports few
showers in this section of the
state and urges upon the far
mers the necessity of keeping
the soil stirred to prevent inju
ry by the drouth. The report is
Newport, Ark., June 16.—The
past week has been very dry and
hot and we have report of only a
few local showers. There have
been light rains in a part of the
White River Ry. territory,
showers on the M & N. A. R. R.
above Searcy, heavy showers at
Weldon and Walnut Ridge and
light showers at Cabot and Tu
pelo. Advices received from all
over the territory indicate satis
factory progress in growth of
the crop. Plant generally heal
thy and very little if any deteri
oration due to lack of moisture.
We are glad to report satisfac
tory labor and financial condi
tions over the entire territory
indications are for a speedy ter
mination of the drouth in this
territory and never in the past
fifteen years has a cotton crop
gone through so prolonged pe
riod of dry, hot weather as we
are having, with as little dam
age as this one. It is very evi
dent that methods of farming
are being improved in this terri
tory and that this crop has
stood up as it has solely by rea
son if its being well cultivated.
There is quite a good deal of late
planted cotton that is just up
and some little of it not up yet.
This will have to hurry n it
makes before frost. Our idea of
the best way to hurry a crop is
to treat it in the same manner
as you would some people and
some mules; Stir It Up. A lit
tle stirring is a fine thing. More
is finer. This weather may be
too hot to do much stirring ex
cept perhaps, to stir the sugar
and ice in a. glass of lemonade,
but cotton will stand stirring
with a plow and be better for it
just as the mixture in the glass.
We could write a lot on this
STIR SUBJECT but we don’t
want to get you all stirred up
and saying as, we have had
said to us before, That it is cool
er and easier to stir with a type
writer than to stir with a plow

Boy Scouts Encampment.
To the Parents of Boy Scouts:
We desire to state briefly
something about our Encamp
ment. We will leave Newport
| on the morning of the 22nd, go
; ing to some point on Spi’ing riv
j or between Hardy and Mammoth
i Spring where a permanent camp
'will be established in touch with
the railroad and telephone.
| Each Scout will write to his fa
■ er or mother daily.
j The following rules will be
■ strictly enforced:
1. No Scout shall go swim
ming, boating, nor use fire arms,
nor leave the camp, except by
permission
| 2- No swearing, vulgar lan
iguage, nor rough practical jokes
.will be permitted.
. 3. No Scout shall use tobacco.
4. To obey the Scout Law in
principle as well as in letter, re
jalizing that this requires unsel
fishness, manliness, helpfulness
and cheerfulness. The Scout
law is: “A Scout is trustwor
thy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
!courteous, kind, obedient, cheer
ful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent.”
We trust that every parent
will gladly give his consent to
their Scout for this Encamp
ment as we are working for the
good of all boys; we expect
them to have a good time with
good “eats” and to “Do a good
turn daily.” It will cost you no
thing, as the Scouts have earned
the money and now have it in
the bank. Very truly,
G. A. Hillhouse,
Scout Master.
