SOIL FERTILITY
How the soils of Arkansas
may be increased in fertility
is set forth in a list of sugges
tions in a recent circular en
titled “An Outline of a Soil
Fertility Program for Arkan
sas” written by Dean Brad
ford Knapp and other mem
bers of the Experiment Sta
tion staff of the University of
Arkansas.
The circular emphasizes the
importance of improving the
soils of the state by adding
more humus, draining wet
lands, preventing soil erosion,
preparing good seed beds,
planting well selected and test
ed varieties of seed, using
high grade commercial ferti
lizer, and more systematic cul
tivation of crops during the
growing period.
Some definite and concrete
suggestions are oifexcd in the
circular on what fertilizers
should be used on the different
types of soils in the state, bas
ed upon experimental work
done in Arkansas and compar
ative experiments in other
states. This circular may be
had free of charge by writing
to either the Experiment Sta
tion, Fayetteville or the Agri
culural Extension Division,
Little Rock, Arakansas.

TROPICAL SCENES IN
THE ISLE OF CONQUEST
Norma Talmadge’s latest
production, “The Isle of Con
quest,” a Select Special pro
duction which conies to the
Royal Tuesday night carries
variety of scenes as well as
variety of action. Much of
the action takes place on an
isolated island in the South
Seas, and on the island many
effective locations figure as
backgrounds. Also of partic
ular interest are those scenes
taken aboard a yacht. These
passages show the yacht tor
pedoed at sea, and the subse
quent shipwreck furnishes the
incidents through which a man
and woman find themselves
alone on a small island.
The atmosphere of the pic
ture carried the air of good
taste and good breeding at all
times, with locale shifting
from a fashionable boarding
school of Palm Beach, and
from other society centers to
a tropical isle.
After the shipwreck came
Love! With Love came Hap
piness,—happiness on a deso
late isle in the tropics with the
man of her heart. And then
came—her Husband! An ex
traordinary situation develop
ed in an extraordinary man
ner.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application*, an w,ey cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tuba Is
inflamed you hate u rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entire!’
closed. Deafness is th« result. I'ntess the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of th- mucous sur
