RHEUMATISM AFTER
HIS RAT'S OUTING
Hunting Trip On a Wet Day
Brings Painful Results.
Once upon a time Charles Mullen, of
Philadelphia, went punning. It was a
dismal rainy day, and long exposure to
cold and wet brought on a severe
attack of rheumatism. He was con
fined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan’s Lini
ment, citing his own case as evidence
of its effectiveness. Mullen bought a
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Soon improvement was noticed
and he was able to return to business.
Mr. Mullen writes: “Since that ex
perience I have never been without
Sloan’s Liniment in the medicine
chest.’’ You will find it soothes bruises,
sprains, toothache and relieves lame
back, neuralgia, in fact all external
pains. At all druggists, 25c., 50c.
and $1.00 a bottle.

STATE’S COTTON CROP
SHOWS HEAVY GAIN
One Hundred and Twenty Mil
lion Dollars Is Estimate
of Arkansas Crop
This has been the most re
markable cotton season in the
history of Arkansas.
Notwithstanding the ravages
of the boll weevil and the se
vere drouth,the state has made
more than an average crop,and
will receive for it twice asmuch
as the crop usually brings.This
was done despite the weevil
and the drouth was really an
aid, since it checked the weevil
which was just ready to mi
grate.
Last season there were 834,
000 bales raised in the state,
and the last ginners’ report
shows a total of 813,718 bales
ginned up to date. Careful es
timates are that the crop will
exceed one million bales, ex
clusive of linters.
It is estimated that the crop
will yield a total of $120,000,
000 for the state, in cotton and
seed, about twice \the normal
return from the crop.There are
several elements entering into
this situation.The farmers have
abandoned the half-and-half,
the Simpkins, and other short
steaples, and have been plant
ing the best long staple seed
that could be found. The bene
fit of seed-selection and long
staple has been clearly demon
strated. The average of long
staple on the market is higher
than ever before. It has requir
ed 200 or 300 pounds more of
long staple to produce a bale
than of the short staple.
While middling cotton has
advanced to 20 cents, there
have been sales of long staple
at 35 cents a pound. Nineteen
bales sold at that figure in Pine
Bluff last week, and an offer
of 34 cents was refused in Lit
tle Rock.
Cotton seed has been selling
at $40 to $60 a ton, compared
'with the usual price of $12 to
$15. When a farmer can get
$200 for a bale of cotton and
the seed, the prosperity of the
state is assured.
The crop was gotten out
much earlier this year tha
usual, on account of the desire
of the farmers to take advan
tage of the high prices, and the
killing frost which came the
mildle of October, about a
month earlier than usual. The
frost stopped all late cotton in
the making, although the wee
vil had done that already in the
bottom lands. The crop has
been rushed to the market as
rapidly as it could be ginned,
and there has been a great con
gestion of the compresses
throughout the state. Even lin
ters, a by-product that ordin
arilly sells for three-fourths of
a cent, is bringing 7 cents.
The failure of the crop east
of the Mississippi has also been
a factor. It has been estimated
that in Arkansas fields where
the weevil was most prevalent,
and where a yield of five
eighths of a bale was secured,
had climatic conditions similar
to those across the Mississippi
prevailed, it would have taken
ten bales for an acre.
The following figures show
the increased production of cot
ton in some of the counties in
this section of the state,the fig
ures being taken from the gov
well done in all lines, and we
should join together in giving
thanks of the highest order to
Him above.who has guided our
footsteps in times of adversity
and strife and has always led
us in the right path. The toiler
has had his labors amply re
warded in that the harvests
have yielded their increase,
the industries of the state have
prospered and the commercial i
interests of our state have ad-1
vanced.
“I recommend that on the!
day designated Uie people of
this state, gathered in their
homes and churches, render to
Almighty God their grateful
thanks, and in their prayers
beseech the Heavenly Father
that peace may soon be restor
ed to the many countries par
ticipating in the war of wars.”

THAT MORNING LAMENESS
—
J If you are lame every morn
!ing, and suffer urinary ills,
!there must be a cause. Often it
Iis weak kidneys. To strengthen
| the weakened kidneys and avert
more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. You can
rely on this testimony.
Mrs. L. W. Dickey, W. Arch
St., Searcy, Ark., says: “My
back ached all the time and if
I lay down for awhile, I could
hardly get up. It hurt me to
stoop over and when I got up
mornings, I was stiff and lame
and didn’t feel the least bit
rested. My feet and ankles
swelled badly and I had rheu
matic pains in my limbs. One
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills re
lieved all these symptoms of
kidney trouble and my back
has been much stronger since.”
Price 50c at all dealers.Don’t
simply ask for a kidney rem
edy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills
—the same that Mrs. Dickey
had. Foster-Milburn Co..Props.,
