at Malvern After Iking
Trailed fwo Weeks.
Sheriff Finn Craig of El Dorado j
and Deputy Sheriff J. W. Perritt.of |
Huttig Tuesday arrested at Mal
vern Carl Lewis, former resident of
Felsenthal, as a suspect in the rob
bery of the First National Bank
hereon September 11. He was
taken to El Dorado and lodged in
jail.
When the bank was robbed the j
assistant cashier, W. P. Reasons '
was tied and hfe and a Dickerson
boy were locked in the vault. The :
bandit then escaped with $6,556.
M. A. Shipley, a detective repre
senting the American Bankers’ As
sociation, took up the case. Carl
Lewis was suspected. He had
been employed at the Washing'on
State hospital for nervous diseases
and had been a resident of the
state of Washington for four years,
but at the time of the robbery was
visiting his father and family at
Felsenthal. Shipley followed h:m
into Kansas, and at Topeka, ac-;
cording to the detective's story,
Lewis sent $900 to persons living |
at Felsenthal to close ud a land
deal in which he purchased a farm.
After trailing him to various places
Shipley followed him bick to Ar
kansas and the arrest followed.
Lewis' father has been working
at Gamp Pike for two months, but
is said to have been visiting his
home when his son was there and
when the robbery was commilted.
The suspect has been indentified
by former assistant cashier. W. P.
Reasons. Part of the money has
been recovered, but the total
amount of salvage has not yet been
determined, as Lewis has money in
deposit boxes in several banks, in
addition to the amount invested in
real estate by Lewis.
He was given a preliminary
hearing at El Dorado Friday morn

traveling in unofficial capacity, but
carrying special passports arranged
fir by the Stase Department, who
are on their way to Europe to visit

The civil service commission has
notified all of its 3,000 boards of
examiners that they should put
forth their best efforts to secure
these urgently needed workers.
While examinations are r.ow held
weekly in 450 cities, the commis
sion states that arrangoments will
be made to have examinations held
at any accessible place where a
small class of applicants can be
secured. The entrance salaries
range from $1,000 to $1,200 a
year. Promotion is reasonably
rapid to those whose service prove
satisfactory. No appointments can
be made to these or other positions
in the Federal classified civil serv
ice unless authorized by the civil
service commission under the civil
service law. Any information to
the contrary is unauthorized.
This is a splendid opportunity to
serve your country. Full informa
tion may be secured from the sec
retary of the board of civil service
examiners at the post office at El
Dorado, Ark.
There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional tonditions and therefore re
quires constitutional‘treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the lUood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall's Catarrh Cure falls to cure.

How Luther Valued Music.
Luther hud a keen relish for the
beautiful In music, but the relief and
comfort It afforded him through ex
pressing his own feelings were with
him trivial commendations as compared
with its use in bringing home Gospel
truth to heart and conscience. The
melodious cadences and clear and
brilliant phrases of sacred songs were
for him golden characters by which
the knowledge of God was to be Im
printed on the memory. Never Is the
singleness of the mun’s heart more
conspicuous—the concentration of his
soul upon one grnnd life-purpose more
evident—than when, with congenial
toil, he sets to Blmple words and sim
ple tunes, for children to sing, the
main verities of Christian faith, the
main facts of Christiun story.
Luther gave the initiative for count
less psalms and hymns and grave
sweet melodies, sung by the Protestant
vanguard of mankind. The best re
ligious inspiration of these last ages Is
in spiritual song.—From Peter llayne's
"Martin Luther.”
Bi Ufa FARMING HINTS, n
LAST CALL FOR WINTER OATS.
If you hurry there is still time to
put in winter oats. This is a valu
able crop for most Arkansas farm
ers because it not only furnishes
great quantities of feed but it can !
be followed by a crop like cow peas i
which will help build up the soil and '
furnish an abundance of hay or can
be plowed under. The experts with
the College Agrilculture urge a
thorough preparation of the seed
bed and the use of the drill in seed
ing if possible. Planting after Oc
tober 20 in Northern Arkansas and
November 1 in Southern Arkansas
has often brought large yields but
it is not considered so safe as earl-!
ier planting.
HAVE TWO LITTERS OF PIGS A YEAR. |
Breed your gilts and sows so you
can have two litters of pigs a year
and breed them so as to take the
greatest advantage of the green
pastures it is possible to have. It
is probably best to fix the breeding
season so that pigs will be far
rowed sometime from the middle
of September to the last of Octo
ber and from the middle of Febru
ary to the last of March. Now is
the time to begin breeding for
spring pigs.
SAVE THE SWEET POTATOES.
Your sweet potatoes are too val
uable to let them rot. The home
potato hill properly managed will!
be all right for small quantities of
potatoes but the inexpensive store
house is better for large quantities
and will more than pay for itself in
potatoes it keeps from rotting. In
addition to proper care in digging
and sorting, ventilation and the
temperature have much to do with
the keeping of sweet potatoes.
How to control these features is
discussed and the various storage
methods given in Bulletin 124 is
sued by the College of Agriculture
at Fayetteville. Write for this
bulletin today.
BOLL WEEVIL IDEA EXPLODED.
Much has been written about the
control of the boll weevil by fall
plowing, but Geo. G. Becker, state
entomolgist with the University of
Arkansas, says:
"If cotton stalks can be uprooted
and plowed under deeply by No
vember 1, some good will be done
in the northern part of the state
and a great deal more in the south
ern part toward the control of the
boll weevil. However, after No
vember 1 this method will not pay
in Arkansas because practically all
of the weevils have left the cotton
after that time and are hibernating
in the trash and rubbish, along the
fence rows, the ditch banks and
roadsides. Destroy as far as possi
ble these hiding places and you will
not only get large numbers of the
boll weevil but all kinds of injurious
insects. Plow under the trash and
rubbish as far as possible. Never
burn anything that will make plant
food.”
Methodist Church Services.
The following services will be
held at Union church Sunday: Sun
day school at 10:00 a. m. Preach
ing at 1 1 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. by
the pastor. Junior League at 3:00
p. m. Epworth League at 6:30 p.
m. A cordial invitation is extend
ed to all to attend these services.
Rev. A. Turrentine, Pastor.
Ise the Parcel Post.
The parcel post is certainly a
godsend to dairy farmers and poul
try raisers. Weld, in his "Market
ing of Farm Products," cites the
fact that during investigations
made by the Untited Sates Depart
ment of Agriculture "There were
shipped 9.151 eggs in lots of from
one to ten dozen each c^r various
distances, and out of this i-umber
only 327, or about 3.6 per cent
were broken, and about one-third
of these were broken so slightly
that they could still be used."
Many more farmers should use the
parcel post for regularly sending
both fresh eggs and fresh butter to
town customers. It is easy to get
suitable containers, and nine times
out of ten Mrs. Farmer will wel
come such an opportunity to add
to her income.—The Progressive
Farmer. _

SOUND TO CONTROL MACHINE
Remarkable Invention Demonstrated
in London Is Based Upon the
Principle of Resonance.
The distunt control of mechanical
operations by sound, ns demonstrated
in London, depends upon the principle
of resonance, or the setting up of re
enforcing sympathetic vibrations by
sending out the note for which the ap
paratus is tuned.
The resonator consists of a tele
phone transmitter and receiver, placed
near together face to face in a closed
cylindrical easing, with a tube contain
ing a piston extending at the hack of
the receiver. The piston lengthens or
shortens the column of air behind .the
receiver, and thus changes the vibra
tion note of the transmitter and re- i
ceiver diaphragms. The transmitter I
is connected to the primary current of
an induction coll, with switch battery,
resistance, and an ordinary post oltice
relay in circuit; the receiver is cou
pled to the secondary circuit. When
the proper note vibrates the di
aphragms, the armature of the relay
is moved, closing the local circuit, and
this can be adapted for starting and
stopping an engine, releasing bombs,
or other purposes.
For controlling a dirigible, the
sounds might be sent from the ground
by a siren, the note of which would be
adjusted by varying the speed. Dif
ferent notes could be made to perform
different requirements; and in guiding
an airship, turning the rudder to the
right, to the left, elevating, depressing,
speeding up the engine, and slowing it
down would each have its special note.
To avoid discovery of the means of
performing any operation, the appar
atus could be designed to respond nf
ter a definite number of repetitions of
the right note, or only nfter a combi
nation of different notes.
SIGNS SEEN IN THE FLOWERS
Many Popular Superstitions Arel
Woven About the Raising and
Handling of Various Blossoms.
To burn faded flowers Is a sure sign
of coming sorrows. To plant a flower
hedge is to bring good luck. If a per
son wears flowers with the sterns up
ward it Is a sign that he or she is
in love and does not know it. To
have flowers wilt quickly in the hand
denotes ill health.
If n person smells flowers gathered
from a cemetery he will lose the sense
of smell. It Is considered unlucky
to gather flowers out of season, as
before and after the season they are
said to belong to the fairies.
The first wild flowers which arc
gathered by a young woman In the
spring are supposed to give the Initials
of her future husband. Spearmint
is believed by some to prevent illness
when worn about the wrist.
If catnip is held In the hand un
til heated and then put into the hand
of another, superstition says Hint it
will so control that person that he or
she cannot leave you as tong as the
catnip is retained fn the hand.
Pennyrtiyal is said to make a quar
relsome husband and wife stop bick
ering If it is given to them by some
friend.
Periods of Family Life.
When you see pa's room you will

when you see the living room you will
know what they are planning to In- in
the future.—Fort Worth Stur-Tele
