Union County Alfalfa.
S. D, Moss, who resides at Tu
bal eighteen miles west of El Do
rado has been displaying as fine al
falfa as you can raise anywhere at
El Dorado and Junction City re
cently. Last fall he planted one
acre of this valuable crop paying
$7\50 for the inoculated seec
and used $5.00 worth of lime
on the land. His first cutting re
sulted in nearly two tons of al
falfa and he expects to get two or
three more tons before the season
is over. It is a shame that more
of our farmers do not take to this
crop which is such an elegant feed
and which if what is used here was
raised in the county would keep
thousands of dollars at home ev
ery year instead of fattening the
pocketbooks of farmers in other
states.
Judge Hays Defines tils Position on Tax Issue.
“1 am opposed to the increase of
a tax rate unless in the administra
tion of public affairs it must be done
as a last resort.” announced Judge
G. W. Hays in a speech delivered
at Walnut Ridge recently.
"Not a dollar for any purpose
should be taken from the pockets
of a citizen of this State unless its
spending in the maintenance of the
government is a fundamental ne
cessity. This is my belief, and it
is a position to which 1 will adhere
when elected governor, with all the
tenacity I possess.
'In my opinion, if the property
of the people is properly assessed,
if economy and good judgment is
used in expenditures, and if proper
encouragement is given to immi
gration and the investmen. of cap
ital we will not be called on to is
sue bonds either now or hereafter.
A bond issue on the part of a State,
at best, is but a makeshift which is
temporary and in the end will most I
likely add to the burdens of the I
people. Hence 1 am opposed to a
bond issue to liquidate the State's !
indebtedness.”
Manager of a Railroad Cured of Ic/ema by
lluut’s Cure.
At one time 1 had a very bad j
case of Eczema. It troubled me
for seven or eight years, and, al
though 1 tried all kinds of medicine :
and several doctors. 1 got no re
lief until I used Hunt’s Cure. I
used several boxes, and it finally
cured me. and 1 have always kept
a box with me for fear it will come
back, A. D. Goodenough.

Soy Beans and Cow Peas.
It is getting time to sow soy
be ms and cow peas, and they
should not be neglected. They
are fine as soil builders, and both
are good for hogs.
Plant them in drills from two to
three feet apart according to tht
strength of the soil. They can be1
cultivated by planting in the drill,
and it will require much less seed
per acre, and they will yield better
than if you sow them broadcast.
By cultivating two or three times,
the weeds and grass can be kept
out pretty well, and the vines can
be picked, and the yield of beans or
of peas will surprise you.
By this method, you can get bet
ter stock for seed next year. The
vines can be utilized also. It will
be a good idea to follow the oats
with soy beans or cow peas. You
may sow them after oats have
been harvested and turn the crop
under, or cut the crop for hay and
let the second growth come and
plow that under. Do not forget to
plant peas at the last plowing of
the corn.
You can gather the peas in the
fall or you can turn the hogs in af
ter the corn is gathered and they
will gat'.im the peas for you and
make good money for you in
doing so. You can bring your fat
tening hogs up to a good weight ir
this way. and by penning them up
and finishing them on corn you will
make some fine pork.
Do not forget to vaccinate your
hogs against cholera. It will pre
vent this dread disease. Write Dr.
J. F. Stanford, Fayetteville. He
will vaccinate them free, charging
only for the serum and his ex
penses.

PUT ONE EYE OUT.
Suffered 36 Years from Skin Disease.
1 suffered from a skin disease for
36 years, and about six months
ago it attacked one of my eyes and
put it out. After it was too late. 1
got a box of Hunt's Cure and be
gan to use it. and 1 must say that it |
is the best remedy 1 have used in j
36 years, and I believe it will cure]
any skin eruption.

Jailed For libeling Congress.
An Englislv linen merchant in
New York. H. W. Page by name,
last year sent a printed pamphlet
to every member and senator mak
ing; charges against the courts of
this country, which he said had
treated him unjustly in a divorce
case. He also charged congress
I with being corrupt. He was ar
j rested for libeling members of cori
! gress and was convicted, but was
! let off on parole, on his promise
that he would not repeat his
charges. However the other day
he sent a package of 1 1 3 pages of
typewriting to the president, in
which he reiterated his charges
and appealed for justice. There
upon he was ordered to prison to
serve*out his sentence of five
years, This is practically the first
case in which congress has ever
followed up charges of this sort.

Would Advertise With Battleships.
American products, housed and
| displayed on American warships
i and carried to the world's ports for
the education of foreign people in
what America has to offer in trade
is the plan proposed in a bill which
Congressman W. S. Goodwin of
this congressional district has in
troduced in congress and which is
creating considerable favorable
comment.
Before leaving for Arkansas. Mr.
Goodwin, who is intensely interest
ed in peace and disarmament, pre
i pared the following statement in
reference to his bill:
"1 am opposed to senseless rrul
tiplioation of useless battleships.
I see no reason why those we have
built at so great expense should
not be used in advancing American
trade before thev rot and become
junk. Our strength and security
lies not in battleships and dread
noughts. so much as in our isola
tion, the absence of entangling a1
liances and our peaceful pursuits.
All people are looking to the Unit
ed States to take the first step to
ward disarmament.
"From latest available reports on
movements of our navy, it appears
that much time is spent by battle
ships, cruisers and gunboats in for
eign ports. Yet. trade reports
show how comparatively unknown
are American goods in these same
ports frequented by American
ships. The regulations formulated
would set out the nature of exhib
its and conditions upon which such
exhibits would be received, so those
who would avail of the service
could obtain full instructions,
schedules of the itinerary of ves
sels and detailed information as t<
hpw, when and where ryakl
application for allotments of exhi
bition space. The consular serv
ide would co-operate to bring tc
the attention of foreign merchants
this innovation and arrange for
proper publicity. The commer
cial organizations throughout M e
country will, 1 am sure, appreciate
readily the possibilities of the pro
position. Friends of a big navy
would do well to analyze this plan
carefully if they would take serious*
ly Hie recent remarks of Secaetary
Daniels, the importance of making
the navv a popular institution.”

Prof. Lemstrom of th - ' Jniv^rci
ty of Helsingfo:s. Finland, has
been investigating the question
why it is that pine, fir and similar
"needle-leaved" trees give off a
health-giving emanation more than
other ire is. He concludes as the
result of experiments tint the
needles of these trees act on the
atmosphere as generators of fric
tional electricity, so tnat such trees
are always surrounded by an en
velope of electricity and of ozone.
He concludes that the beards on
wheat and rye and various grasses
serve the same purpose and that
the plants thrive on the electricity j
so generated.
