Why Best for Babies?
“Cranny” Chamberlain
111 am often asked why Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is best for babies. Well, there arc several reasons.
First: It is perfectly harmless and can be given with eycry
confidence to the youngest or most delicate child.
Secondly: It contains no alcohol, opium, chloroform, mor
phine or any other narcotic.
Thirdly: Children like it, and no persuasion is needed to
get them to take it.
For the above reasons alone it is impossible to get a better
medicine for babies than
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
But aside from its safety it relieves coughs and colds, is the
best remedy known for croup, and when given as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will even prevent the attack.

FREE COUNTY
9 LIBRARIES
99999999999
The Texas legislature has
passed a bill providig for coun
ity libraries, the governor has
signed it, and it is now law. By
the terms of the bill the com
missioners court of the county,
either on its own initiative or
when legally petitioned so to
do, may order an election in
the county ( or in a subdivision
of it,) to determine whether a
tax of five cents onthe hundred
dollars shall be levied to es
tablish and maintain a county
ordistrict iabrl frefr fawfaff
. or district library for free cir
culaton.
There is no greater educa
tional need in the Southwest
than free circulating libraries.
Too many homes have too few
books. Too many others have
almost none at all. Many are
unable to buy the books they
would like tc read or study—or
at least they think they are—
and many who would and could
buy do not know just what;
books to get. As a result a very
large part of our people are
not a reading people.
People must read to make
progress. Almost everything
that men have ever learned has
been written and printed in
books. Books, therefore,are the
store houses of the world’s
knowledge. A single volume
may open up a treasure of in- !
formation and inspiration that
will start an ambitious youth
on the road to success. Or it
may give a maid a vision of
an ideal that will beckon her
on to a life of charming ser
vice.—Holland’s Magaizne.

PAGE WILL G
COTTONS
Will Distribute 2,000 P£
of Cotton Seed Free
experiment Purposes!
Little Rock, Mar. 21.
have ordered one ton of til
Page cotton seed shipped frori
the Page & Hart farm in Jack
son County, to my office in
Little Rock, for the purpose of
distribution among the farm
ers of the state for experiment.
The seed will be put up in one
pound packages, and will be
sent out to those who apply
and agree to properly plant
and cultivate and return an
equal amount of well selected
seed next fall, to be distribut
ed to other farmers. There will
be 2,000 packages to be sent in
the order of requests until the
supply is exhausted.
The Page Cotton
The Pagh cotton was given
the name by G. W. Norris, who
has been growing it upon the
Page & Hart farm in Jackson
county. It is a little earlier than
the Rowden, makes a sturdy,
well built stalk, well fruited,
and is on the big boll type. It
has a staple of 1 1-16 to 1 1-8
inch and gins 36 to 38 per cent
lint. It yields about thirty per
cent more lint to the acre than
the Express and sells for about
twenty per cent less per pound.
The cotton holds well in the
bolls, but it is not storm proof.
It yields well. In 1915 we made
three bales on two acres. In
1916 we made ten bales on ten
acres. On two rows of equal
length, standing side by side,
one row' of the Page cotton
weighed out 111 pounds, and
the other of Express cotton
weighed out 74 pounds of cot
ton seed. The seed is pure,with
no boll weevil or diseased cot
ton of any kind grown on the
place.

TWO WOLVES ARE
KILLED IN DRIVE
An organized wolf hunt near
Grand Glaize, last Saturday, in
which almost every farmer of
that neighborhood participat
ed, resulted in the killing of
two large timber wolves. One
of the wolves wras killed by
George Ross and the other by
Milford Ross and A1 Wilson.
The wolves have killed a
number of goats in the Grand
Glaize neighborhood recently,
and their depredations result
ed in the organization of a sys
tematic drive to free the coun
try of them.Although the coun
try w?as carefully gone over
with hounds, no other wolves
were found, and it is believed
the pack has been wdped out.
A USEFUL PAIN
]
Newark People Should Heed
Its Warning
Have you a sharp pain or a
dull ache across the small of
your back? Do you realizethat
it’s often a timely sign of kid
ney weakness? Prompt treat
ment is a safeguard against
more serious kidney troubles.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills.Pro
fit by this nearby resident’s ex
perience.
Mrs. W. B. Fryer, Broad st.,
Batesville, Ark., say:“My back
was very weak and at times, I
could hardly stoop over to lift
anything, it hurt me so. My
head ached and I often had
dizzy spells. The kidney secre
tions were unnatural. Since I
have used Doan’s Kidney Pills,
my back has been much strong
er and my kidneys have acted
as they should.”
Price 50c at all dealers.Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s KdineyPills—the j
same Mrs. Fryer had. Foster
