Caution.
V/ith a shortage of ships to move
our cotton to foreign shores: with
no indication of the end of the war:
with the Nation stirred over pre
paredness for eventualities; with
the buying power of the entire
world gradually lessening day by
day, it becomes our d ity to issue
this formal warning as the time of
planting cotton is at hand.
Let everyone encourage the
farmer to be on the safe side by
raising plenty of feed and food for
the community as weil as for him
self, his family and his live stock
( A calf, a pig. chickens and a gar
den often mean the difference be
tween want and money ahead )
Economical and safe living for all
as well as “Safe Farming" must be
the rule if prosperity is to abide
with us.
Six-cent cotton this fall woulfi
sp 11 disaster in the cotton Sta'es.
Low price follows over-supply as
certainly as the night the day.
High prices and prosberity over the
South this year prove what volun
tary reduction of cotton acreage
does. Any marked increase in
acreage over last year is going to
result in a great loss to Southern
cottan producers, merchants and
bankers, and will similarly affect all
allied business and professions.

Grow Seed Corn.
Arkansas is destined to be a
member of the ‘'Corn Belt States."
But we must build up our corn
through home breeding. Farmers
should select the Dest ears from
tweir cribs for planting or get some
good corn from a neighbor. There
is a profitable opening for a few
men in each county to grow six or
eight acres of corn for seed to sell
to neighbors and the public gener
ally. Tne Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas is very
anxious to have the names of all
farmers in Arkansas who are in
tending to plant a special field for
this purpose. The field should be
we!' prepared and be remote from
other corn. Will such farmers
who read this send their names to
their county agricultural agent at
El Dorado at once.

february Weather.
The highest temperature reg
ister d during February in ti is
vicinity was 77 degrees on the
12th. and the lowest was 19 de
grees on the 3rd. The rainfall for
the month was forty-one one
hundredths, which is far below
normal.
V. A. BEESON
The above is a picture of V. A.
Beeson of Morriiton. Conway coun
ty, who is a candidate for Secretary
of State. Mr. Beeson is a news
paper man, editor of the Morriiton
Heac light, and has done a great
work not only for his town and
county, but for the entire state
as well. He is a young man of ex
ceptional ability, honorable, inuus
trious and progressive, and in our
opinion no citizen of Arkansas
could better fill the high office to
which he aspires, nor could the
honor be conferred on one more
loyal anc^deserving. The editor of
the News has known him for years
and takes a real pleasure in rec
ommending him as one who will
faithfully and intelligently dis
charge every duty, prove true to
every trust and remain loyal to the
great state of Arkansas and the
best interests of the people whose
servant he aspires to be. The only
Dublic office he has ever held was
that of Representative from his
county in the last legislature and
his record in that position was a
good one. I
Wants Oovernmi nt to Pension tonfederatfs.
i There is a great deal of i-terest
throughout the state in the bill in
troduced in Congress by Hon. John
. Tillman of the Third district, pro
viding for the pensioning f the ex
| Confederate soldiers. Mr. Tillmr n
proposes that the government shall
place every surviving soidier of the
Confederacy upon the pension roll
at $30 per month. or $1 per day.
for life, with $500 each back nay.
This is to be defrayed out o' a fund
of $60,000,000. reoresc iting the
proceeds of cotton tax collected in
the South after the war. about
which there has been so much pro
poQed legislation.
Should this bill bgcorne a law, it
would mean much to the state of
Arkansas. 1 he state this year
paid the Confederate soldiers and
their widows, out of a direct tax of,
1 12 mills, approximately $040,
OGO. This will be increased, in j
the taxes now being coilected, to j
2 mills, as provided by the legisla
ture of 1915. which will mean'
that next year the pension roll of i
the state will amount to about:
$850,000. The increased lev*, j
will, it is estimated, enable the 1
state to pay the pension allowances
in full, instead of prorating them as
has b^en necessary for years, or j
practically since the system was i
inaugurated. The levy for general i
purposes of the state government
is only 2'2 mills.
Should the Tillman bill pass, the I
state might and probably wouia j
discontinue its own pension system i
which would be a tremendous sav- 1
ingin taxes. A..d at the samel
time the veterans and their widows
would be much better provided fer
than it is possible for the state ever!
to ao. The highest pension paid j
in the state is $100 a year, and1
the Tillman bill provides that it;
shall be $365 a year.
Notice uf [lection.
Notice is hereby given that there
will be an election held in the Town
Hall of the Incorporated Town of
Huttig on Tuesday. April 4. 1916.
for the purpose of electing a Mayor.:
Recorder and five Aldermen to
serve one year.
C. T. Thompson. Mayor.
W. H. Moore. Recorder.
Don'ts.
Don't attempt to punish all ycur
enemies at once. You can't do a
large business with a small capital.
Don't say "I told you so." Two to
one you never said a word about it
Don't worry about another man's
business. A little selfishness is
sometimes commendable. Don't
imagine that you can correct all
the evils in the world. A grain of i
sand is not prominent in a desert. :
Don't mourn over fancied griev
ances. Bide your time and real
sorrow will come. Don't throw
dust in your teacher's eyes. It will
only injure the pupil. Don't worry
about the ice crop. Keep cool and
you will haye enough. Don't bor
row a coach to please your wife
Better make her a 1 it*le sulky.
Don't imagine that everything is
weakening. Butter is strong ir,
the market. Don't publish your
acts of charity. The Lord will
keep the amount straight. Don't
color meerschaums for a living. It
is simply dyeing by inches.- Mark
T wain.
Confidence.
I know a man who hunts for
snakes, and kills them for their
grease. He says 'twill cure rheu
matic aches, and make your an
guish cease. Th-* doctors s?y that
serpent oil no sort of virtue owns:
it will not cure the pains that coi: ;
around you- joint and bones. Bui
this old gun who kids the snakes!
has never had a doubt: he says ah
other cures are faxes, wneu reotile j
oil's about, He is so everlasting
sure that what he says is true, that
even skeptics buy his "cure" to see
what it will do. And so it keeps
him toiling hard, the keen demand
to meet and he has t u, with
bullsnake lard a home jo L y
Street. If you believe in what you
sell, have faith in what you say. in
that same avenue you'll dwell,
upon a future day. If one is net
supremely sure that what he has
for sale makes all competitors look
poor, his eloquence will fall. A
man can sell me setting liens, or '
swarms of bumble bees, or double!
action fountain pens, or cures for'
house/naids' knees, if he's con- !
vinced that what he se’ls beats
everything around: that so>t of I
salesman's wearing bells, wherever
ne is found.- Walt Mason.

So thick and fast coni'’ (ho (level- j
opmenis of science in these d:v - thnt i
nu n are losing their sense of astonish- i
meat. The in,possible becomes the !
actual so often that it is unsafe to
say that anything cannot be done. A
few months ago the first telephone
message was transmitted across the
continent Today we hoar that a
still greater distance ' as been covered
by a wireless telephone. Forty years
ago a current of electricity could not
be made to jump more than a few
inches through a vacuum. Today
there is no known limit to it. or rath
er to the capacity of new instruments
to detect it. Some electrical eu
pincers believe that messages could he 1
sent t" the moon, and perhaps out into'
infinite space throupti the ether just
as easily as from San Francisco tc
Ifcnoluiu through toe atmosphere.
Witn all this, no man can tell what:
electricity is. All we ko w about it
is that when a certain thing is done
certain results follow.—New York

Gdbert Stuart.
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) wns horn
in Narragansett. H. 1., the son of a
snuff-grinder. At the age of fifteen,
without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract
ed the attention of a young Scotch
artist named Alexander, who took him
to Scotland in 1772. Iti 1774 he re
turned to America where he re
mained for a year, lie went bm-k to
Condon m 1775. and for a short time
he played the organ in a small church
in that city. In 1778 he entered the
studio of Benjamin West as a pupil,
nut later set up a studio of his own,
and remained working there for some
years. He came back to this country
once more m 1792, and painted many
portraits m New York and I'hiladel-!
phia among them the famous ”1795
Washington.' in the year 1806 ne set
tled m Boston. His fame rests large
ly upon his many portraits of Wash
ington.

No matter how small or iarge your purchase you will be

addition we are able to save about 20 per cent in freight
charges by buying in solid car load lots. Also we have no
rent to pay. a we own our building. One customer told us the

We can, and wiil do the same lot you. Wr.te us about your
