The Question for Each Man to Settle is Not What he Would do if he Had So and So, But What he Will Do with the Things He Has
T R.’S CONDITION
STILL UNCHANGED
But Wound Is Healing; Normally,
Without Infection, One Rib
Found Fractured
Chicago Oct. 17.—The bullet
wound inflicted in Col. Theodore
Roosevelt’s chest at Milwaukee
Monday night, it was officially an
nounced today for the first time, is
healing normally without infection.
The statement that no complica
tions have shown themselves was
made after a day during which
the first succesful X-ray picture of
the wound in the colonel’s chest
was examined by the surgeons.
The fact developed that the
wound made by the assassin’s bul
let fractured the colonel’s fourth
rib. The missile remains embed
ded apparently in the bone. The
fracture, however, it is said, will
not affect the treatment in any
way, but will be allowed to heal
untreated, as will the wound.
The X-ray pictures show that
the bullet did not enter nor injure
the plural cavity.
BOND AMENDMENT
UP IN THE COURTS
Citizens of Little Rock Will Take
Matter up to Supreme Court
For Adjudication
The Bond Amendment submit
ted in the recent election, has
landed in the courts for adjudica
tion, the issue having been raised
by a suit for mandamus brought
by the city of Little Rock against
the State board of Election Com
missioners to compel them to cer
tify out the vote on that question.
The Board held that it had no
authority in the premises what
ever, but that it must be declared
by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
Little Rock is anxious to make
a test of the law by inaugurating
a half-million .dollar bond issue for
sewers, and is desirous of having
its legality tested by the Supreme
Court as speedily as possible. It
will be advanced as a question of
public interest.

Reports Also Indicate Greatest Ag
ricultural Display in History
of Arkansas Fair

as to whether or not Hon. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of re
presentatives, would be in Hot
Springs to open the Arkansas State
fair,which be held in this city Nov.
11 to 16, was removed when Sec
retary George R. Belding received
postive assurance that the distin
guished Missourian would not on
ly be here, hut that with him
would come his family, the party
making a short sojourn of a week
or more in this resort.

Gov.-elect Robinson will also be
I present. He has notified Secretary
j Belding that he will open head
quarters in this city! remaining
during the entire week of the fair
; as he expects to confer with his
friends all over the state and re
alizes that Hot Spings on this par
ticular occasion, will give him the
opportunity he wishes for innum
erable conferences.

strating scientific farming in Ark
ansas, which work has been car
ried on under the auspices of the
department of agriculture, Wash
ington, reported to the state fair
headquarters this week that 43
counties in the state that will hold
county fairs intend to send their
prize exhibits to the state exposi

SHOULD BENEFIT FARMERS
To complain at the high cost of
living is rather bad taste for farm
ers, who above all men should prof
it by high prices for food products.
The producer should be selling the
living, not buying it at high prices.

TICKS COST FARMERS
$2,000,000 A YEAR
Commissioner Sloan Says Farm
ers Do Not Realize Enormi
ty of Tick Problem
State Agricultural Commission
er, Clay Sloan estimates that the
farmers of Arkansas annually lose
a tremendous amount through
the infestation of the Texas fever
tick. He has just issued a state
ment to the farmers, in which he
says:
“We must drive the tick out of
Arkansas, and get the whole state
North of the quarantine line. Sec
tions of the State that has no tick,
if South of the line, are harmed to
no little degree. When cattle are
shipped to market from South of
the line, even though they never
knew the bite of a tick, they are
counted as tick cattle and sell
from one half to one cent less per
pound on that account, an aver
age of about $4 per head. If we
were to ship to St. Louis or Chi
cago the 700,000 head of cattle
now in Arkansas below the quar
antine line, we would realize
$2,000,000 less for them than if
they had been shipped from any
point above the line. The
$2,000,000 would kill every tick in
Arkansas and create some conster
nation among the chiggers. Ten
per cent of that amount would
put us above the line.
“You don’t have to have the
tick really and in fact, to be harm
ed by it. You only have to be
South of the line. You can’t sell
your cattle while they are fat on
cheap feed of summer and fall
grasses; they can be shipped only
in late winter when they are poor
after the quarantine is raised.
Let’s move up above the line
where every day is a sale day, and
we will have buyers for the calf
as well as for the big beef steer.
“The U. S. Department of Agri
culture computes that Arkansas
lost eight per cent of its cattle last
year by disease of all kinds, while
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and
other Northern states, even with
their long severe winters and ter
rible blizzards, lost only two per
cent. Ticks cut the milk of cows
24 per cent on the same feed. You
cannot improve your cattle stock.
The tick will kill the better breeds
if you introduce them. The blood
ed stock introduced is killed with
out exception.
