Despite the inclement weather
on last Sunday morning a large
crowd gathered at Union church
near Sadie. La , where it was an
nounced there would be singing and
dinner and an unveiling in the af
ternoon. The Hutt.ig Logging Co.,

the ladies and fine looking girls
of that neighborhood showed they
know how to prepare the finest of
everything to eat. After all had
partaken sufficiently of these de
licious eatables, they repaired to
the cemetery where the members
of Sweet Bay Grove No. 145. and
Sadie Grove. W. C., unveiled the
monuments to the memory of their
deceased members.Mrs.J. R. Dollar
and Mis Geo. Wood, with the most
impressive ceremony ever wit
nessed in this part of the country.
Money in Bermuda Onions.
A letter to the El Dorado Times
from J. E. McKinley, an old time
resident of Union county who is
now raising Bermuda onions in
Texas, has the following to say as
to what could be done with them
here:
“Bermuda onions can be raised
in Union county, Ark., as large as
they can be raised here. The only
advantage we have here is fighting
the grass, but to plant them there!
in 2 foot rows and every 6 inches
apart, you can make more for less !
cost than we can here, as you will
not have to irrigate them as we do
here.
“Onion raising in Union county
can be made a profitable crop. I j
can take one acre of onions there
and make more from it than the
farmer can on 50 of cotton. Can
he make $350.00 worth o cotton
on one acre in 8 months?
“Now anyone wishing any infor
mation on growing Bermuda onions
in Texas, or my opinion of growing
them there ( which is sure) 1 will
be glad to give them for the ask- j
ing.” -_

The Most Powerful Poison.
The most powerful poison known
is reported to have been extracted
by a German chemist from the
seeds of the ricinus, the familiar
castor oil plant, and has been at
tracting much attention on account
of its remarkable properties.
Its power is estimated to be so
great that a gram—about a thirtieth
of an ounce—would kill a million
and half guinea pigs. If admin
istered so as to cause severe illness
without death, it gives immunity
against a largei^quantity. and th<
dose can gradually be increased
until more than a thousand times
as much can be endured as would
kill an untreated animal. Though
arsenic, morphine and other pois
ons can be taken in larger and
larger quantity, nothing approach
ing this marvelous increase in dose
can be borne.
The ricinus poison has effects
much like those of living germs,
and in immunized animals an anti
toxin is formed, so that injections
of their blood serum may cure ani
mals that are already in danger or
have become ill from ricinus pois
oning.—Chicago Tribune.

Last year this country imported j
about 7,OOO.000 pounds, valued at i
$2,500,000, of chicle, as the basis
for making the chewing gum of the
people. This gum is brought
mainly from Yucatan a.na the |
country south, and is the crngealed
sap of the zapote tree. The tim
ber of this tree, which resembles
mahogany, becomes so hat'd after
being seasoned that it is possible to
drive a nail far into it or touch it
with edge tools. Door frames
made of zapote have been found at
the prehistoric ruins . in Central
America as sound as. ' they were j
when were made, no doubt many
centuries ago.

Uses nf Aluminium.
The use of aluminium is being
constantly extended into new
lelds. One of the latest applica-i
dons of this wonderful metal is in
.he form of a foil to take the place
>f tin foil in wrapping up food pro
ducts. especially chocolate. The
making of thin foils of aluminium
presented serious difficulties which
cave been only recently overcome.
Muminium foil is now made about
1.600 of an inch in thickness.
Muminium powder has also been
;oming into common use. To
nake the aluminium powder, very
hin foil is first cut up into small
.prangles: these are ground in a
nill and the powder is then sifted
hrough bolting cloth. The pow
ler is used as a basis for metallic
jaint and is especially valuable for
metallic surfaces that are exposed ;
i great deal. The powder is very
soft and adhesive, like graphite.
* liacle Sam's Laundry.
Uncle Sam believes in clean
money, even if some of his sons and
daughters are not so nicely partic
jlar.
The average man is so glad to
ret any money at all he does not
stop to ascertain whether is clean
jr not.
The nice, clean, crisp bank notei
s much more acceptable than the
;orn and filthy one. although one
s as good as the other in the eyes
jf the bank teller.
Science has show that money is
i germ carrier, and there is every
reason to know thar. it is. No one
can say where some money lies in ;
concealment until the time arrives
for placing it once more into circu-1
lation. To think of a dollar bill re
posing in the pocket of a diseased
'oustabout or in some dangerous
hiding place, and such places of
concealment are usually selected
by the ingorant. especially among
the lower class of negroes.
Such bills are handled at times
by men in the last stages of tuber
culosis and blood diseases. The
bills are necessarily infected, and it
is wise that the government should
redeem such money and replace it
with new.
But the cost of printing these
bank note is excessive. The
treasury department has repeated
ly called the attention of congress
to this. The bank note paper is
expensive, the process of engrav
ing and pointing likewise costly.
Uncle Sam has hit upon a solu
tion to the problem. He has in
stalled a laundry for the purpose of
washing soiled money and placing
it again in circulation germ-proof,
bright, new, crisp and attractive.
The new machine washes and
irons 1 .COO bank notes at a cost of
20 cents, which is far cheaper than
printing new currency. The ma
chines are expected to save the
government about $1,000,000 a
year, and no doubt will, for with
the crusade against infected bills
the public is beginning to demand
of the banks of the country new
notes. They feel safer with them,
and the desire for new money has!
been steadily growing. This is
especially notable about Christmas '
times or other gift-giving festivals.
It is estimated that 60 per cent
of money sent to the treasury de
partment for redemption can be
circulated again by washing it.
Foreign governments are w ,t ;h
mg the tests with much interest
The Reichs bank, the national bark
of Germany, recently sent 47.000 ;
marks to the bureau, and the bills '
were laundered perfectly.
Beginning last Monday, the ma
chines began washing on an aver
age of $25,000 a day. and will
continue so long as it is necessarry.
for Uncle Sam has issued his ulti
matum for clean money.
Everybody has a hobby, doing
the right kind of job work is ours
