At the Methodist parsonage in
Ruston, La., at 8 o'clock Monday
evening, October 1 1th the Rev. J.
M. Henry performed the impressive
wedding ceremony which united in
marriage Miss Loula Belle Simon
ton of that city to Mr. Arthur Gil
more Fish of Huttig, in the pres
ence of relatives and friends.
The bride is a sister of Mrs. D.
A. Keasler, who formerly lived here
and with whom she visited a num
ber of times. She is a beautiful,
lovable and accomplished young
lady who endeared herself to a
large number of people here on
these visit.
The groom holds the position of
superintendent of manufacture for
the Union Saw Mill company and a
business man of marked ability.
He is jovial, big-hearted and every
body is his friend.
Immediately after the ceremony
the happy couple took the train for
Springfield, 111., to visit his people
and they will visit St. Louis, Chica
go and other cities before returning
to Huttig.
The News joins with their many
friends in extending hearty congrat
• ulation for a long, happy and pros
perous married life.
W. II. Matthews tor treasurer.
The News this week carries the
announcement of W. H. Matthews
as a candidate for the office of
County Treasurer, subject to the
action of the next Democratic pri
mary.
Mr. Matthews is a native of this
county and a man well qualified in
every respect to give to the people
efficient service in the office to
which he aspires. He is capable
and accommodating and can always
be found in his office during busi
ness hours. He served two terms
as assessor, voluntarily retiring two
years ago as he believes in rotation
in office. All know the excellent
record he made as assessor which
is evidence of the fact that he will
make equally as good a treasurer if
chosen for the office. We bespeak
for him your careful consideration
of his candidacy before casting your
vote when the time arrives.

The Oldest Living Thing.
The oldest of the big trees of
California has just celebrated what
is approximately its 3,1 50th birth
day. .It was a sturdy young tree
when Pharaoh and his army were
drowned in tne Red sea and when
the Greeks were building their
wooden horse outside the walls of
Troy. It has lived thru every sig
nificant event in the world's history.
Generation after generation has
fussed and fretted and fought its
way thru life and while the longest
lived in each generation has been
drawing his breath the only differ
ence time has made to this tree has
been to make it a little broader and
taller. It is the oldest thing alive.

Nineteen Dry States.
When South Carolina voted
“dry” she was the nineteenth state
to enter the dry column. The oth
er arid states are Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho. Arizona, Colorado,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, North
Dakota, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ala
bama, Georgia, North Carolina.
Virginia, West Virginia, Maine and
Mississippi. The total population
of the dry states is 27,344,043.
The population of the twenty-nine
wet states is 64,628.223, accord
ing to the 1910 census. Ohio is
the only state to vote this fall on
state-wide prohibition. The state
wide prohibition amendment voted
on in 1914 lost by a majority of
nearly one hundred thousand, and
the county option law was repealed
by about twelve thousand majority.
In addition to the state-wide prohi
bition amendment, the people of
Ohio will vote on an amendment
which will prevent a measure voted
down twice in succession from be
ing brought up again for six years.

Fall Breaking.
One of the most beneficial, and
yet one of the least practised steps,
in the permanent upbuilding of our
soil, is that of fall breaking and
tyrning under of all weeds, stalks,
stubble and grass on the land after
.he crops have been gathered. Ail
such vegetation will permanently
improve the soil by providing hum
us, which is one of those elements
necessary for soil building, to say
nothing of the fertilizing value of
the rotted stalks, etc. More ferti
lizer can be applied in this way thar
the average man Duts on his soil in
the spring in the way of commercial
fertilizer.
Corn stalks are usually burnec
before planting time in the spring,
and ve'„ the corn stalks, if chopped
and turned under in the fall, would
be worth more to the coming crop
than a three-hundred-pound appli
cation of fertilizer of the kind gen
erally used. Break the land about
an inch deeper than it was broken
last year.
Aside from the fertilizing value
of fall breaking, it is the best farm
practise, because insects and crop
pests are exposed to the cold, and
their winter quarters are destroyed,
because deep breaking can be prof
itably practised in the fall, and not
in the spring, and because moisture
will be stored up for summer use,
the land will be in better shape for
quick planting, when planting time
comes, and because there is more
time for such work in the fall than
there is when spring work is crowd
ing, and because the stalks and
weeds will be in the way of crop
cultivation, if not burned or saved
for the soil by deep fall breaking.
Break your land this fall; turn
under if.i- stalks, slubBTST wlTeui
and grass; kill out insect pests; gel
ready for an early start next spring.
On some of the fall-broken land,
plant either clover, vetch, wheat,
rye, oats or alfalfa. All are good.
John H. Page.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Library Board fleets Officers.
The newly elected board of trus
tees for the Huttig Public Library
met in the library on Tuesday eve
ning and organized by electing the
following officers:
President C. A. Berry.
Vice Pres.- Mrs. L. P. Magee.
Secretary W. A. Benson.
Treasurer Mrs. R. W. Cargill.
On account of the lack of interest
in the institution as well as the
lack of funds with which to pay a
librarian and the many calls on out
citizens for help toward other en
terprises just now it was decided to
not try and open the library at the
present.
Not Going Back.
Many thoughtful people are
alarmed just now lest the present
high price of cotton will induce
Arkansas farmers to go back to ex
elusive cotton growing. Dean Mil
ler of the University Extension Di
vision thinks this not yet a subject
to worry about. Cotton planting
will not begin for almost six months
and before that time comes nine
tenths of the cotton farmers will
have gone through a winter main
taining their stock on their own
feed and their families largely on
stuff grown on their own farms, the
first such winter known to many of
them. Arkansas farmers have
read more this year about corn,
clovers, forage crops and gardens
than ever before and there will be
very few farmers in Arkansas next
spring who will not plant more corn
and forage than ever before. The
Extension Division will conduct
serious campaigns this winter in all
the cotton counties urging the con
tinuance of the “safety habit,” a
good living first, and then the mon
ey crop for the bank.

ASCRIBE VALUE TO SMILE
Physicians Advise Patients to Prac
tice Good Humor as a Preserva
tive of Health.
There is an interesting theory in
psvchology known as the Jnmes-Lange
theory, after the psycholn. .xts, Wil
liam James and C. O. Lange.
This theory relates to the emotions,
and insists that, contrary to the popu
lar belief, the muscular and other
physical changes which accompany
the different emotions are actually
the causes rather than the effects of
these varying mental states.
That is, according to the James
Lange theory, instead of saying that
we weep because we grieve, we ought
to say that we grieve because we
weep. Similarly, we do not strike be
cause we are angry, we are angry be
cause we strike. And we do not run
because we are frightened, but we are
frightened because we run.
While few psychologists accept this
doctrine, all are agreed that there is
a certain amount of truth in it, and
that it is entirely possible to produce
in oneself any specific emotion by vol
untarily assuming the characteristic
physical expression of that emotion.
If any emotion ran be produced by
deliberately adopting its distinctive
physical expression, it manifestly is
profitable to endeavor to produce in
this way the various emotions and
moods—joy, happiness, contentment—
which are known to exert a favorable
influence over the whole organism.
Consequently it is not surprising to
find that many physicians who are
aware of this striking psycho-physio
logical fact are advising their patients
to practice smiling as an aid to the
preservation of health.
Smile even when you don’t feel like
| doing so. Soon you will find the sen
timents of joy. strength and courage
dominant In your heart.—H. Adding
ton Bruce In Kansas City Star.
The Beast of Burden.
Professor Ward, social secretary of
the Methodist Episcopal ''hurch, in an
address in Indianapolis on “The De
mand for Leisure,'' said:
“Working hours should be judged
from the standpoint of fatigue. Sta
tistics prove tUiU the highest um» t»t
iff rate is invariably in the . Indus
trial sections because the rest of these
workers Is not commensurate with
their duties. A shorter workday is an
economic benefit to all. It means more
men. more machinery, higher stand
ards, increased demands, more produc
tion and tlie expansion of industries.
“The family life becomes a closed
book when the man returns home dead
tired from his day s work. When he
reaches that stage he loses identity
as a man, husband and fattier and be
comes the beast of burden. ’

BACK IN 1900.
15 YEARS ago a little furniture store was opened at 121
North Seconu St., Monroe. La. Through the full fif.een years it
has progressed and prospered until today it occupies four big
floors <T0 x 1 50. and besides commanding an enviable position in
the merchandising affairs of Monroe, it is recognized far and
wide as one of the leading furniture stores of the state.
Occupying its own building, and thus having no rent to pay,
The Monroe Furniture Co., gives its customers, of which it num
bers thousands, the very maximum value for the money in every
instance. Fifteen years experience in buying and selling furni
ture, carpets and home furnishings has taught us what our cus
tomers want and where to obtain it for them. Our furniture
goes into a majority of the HOMES of this section; it furnishes
comfort to the home of the well-to do business man or
planter, and it answers the need of the woiking man's cottage.'^
No matter what may be the size of your pocketbouk you will
find what you want and save money on it.
