ARKANSAS WHEAT
IS SUPERIOR TO ANY
Arkadelphla Company Who
Bought 50 Cars Newark
Say it is the Best Grown
The Arkadelphia Milling
(Company who bought 50 cars
of wheat at Newark this sea
son, has made known some sur
prising facts concerning the
wheat growing industry in Ar
kansas. By experiment for sev
eral years the company has
tested the relative value of
wheat raised in all the Middle
Western states and laboratory
tests show that Arkansas soft
w’heat is superior to that grown
anywhere.
Big mills of the North send
buyers to Arkansas every sea
son to purchase soft wheat to
mix with their products to
make the highest grade of flour
for biscuit purposes. The Arka
delphia Milling Co., wrote an
Indianna mill asking them why
they purchased large quanti
ties of Arkansas wheat, and
how they could afford to pay
freight both ways, shipping the
flour back to Arkansas. They
replied that they are buying
Arkansas wheat, paying extra
fancy prices for it, to improve
the quality of the wheat bought
elsewhere.
The amount of Arkansas
wheat bought by the Arkadel
phia Milling Company this
season was nearly 500,000
bushels, valued at $500,000.
The prices paid in Arkansas
ranged from $1.10 to $1.50 per
bushel. More thn 2,000,000
bushels of wheat have been
harvested in Arkansas this
year, a substantial increase dur
ing the past two years because
of the diversified farming
movement and encouragement
offered by the Arkadelphia
Milling Company.The company
first donated $1,000 to adver
tise the industry in Arkansas,
and then made the extraordin
ary offer to sell seed wheat at
cost to farmrs. Thirty thousand
bushels of seed wheat were
sold before planting time. The
company then sent out more
than 10,000 letters instructing
howr to plant, cultivate and
harvest wheat. Nearly 100,000
acres w’ere planted to wheat
that formerly were planted to
cotton. The profitable farming
CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH USER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a day’s work.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
It you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, juat go to
your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle
of l)od9on s Liver Tone, which is a harm
less vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten
you up better and quicker than nasty I
calomel and without making you sick, !
you just go back and get your money.
_ It y°u take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling gTeat, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It’s harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it
campaign then came along,
adding an additional boost to
wheat raising, so that the acre
age in Arkansas has increased
100 per cent during the past
two years.
Not only is the quality of Ar
kansas wheat supreme, but
more wheat was raised in Ark
ansas than either Missouri or
Illinois. The profit of wheat
raising in this state may be seen
comparatively in the fact that
Illinois and Missouri wheat is
produced on land worth from
$125 to $150 per acre, while
the average price of wheat land
in Arkansas is $20 to $40 per
acre. Wheat is produced in this
state at a cost of 70 cents per
bushel and brings up to $1.50
per bushel.

THE OPEN SEASON
FOR FOOL FIRES
Time is Almost Upon Us For
Grass, Forest and Flue Fires
Says Warning
“The open season for fool
fires,from defective flues,burn
ing grass and forests, is almost
here,” says an anti-fire warn
ing just issued, “and it is up to
the public to protect itself.”
Within a few short weeks
the newspapers of Arkansas
will have many items to print
about fires caused from bad
order flues, which the first
touch of chilly weather always
occasions.
With a feeling of dread, the
fire departments approach that
season of the year when stoves
are set up and furnaces lighted
for the first time, after w^eeks
of non use. During the sum
mer months furnace pipes have
become defective through rust,
cracks have widened in bad
flues. The advent of the heat
ing season uncovers all these
defects.
“Flues should be cleaned
and inspected before fires are
lighted.Furnace flues and heat
ing fixtures generally should
be looked after, either by the
man of the house or by a re
liable workman” says the anti
fire warning, issued by the Ar
kansas Actuarial Bureau.

AN EARLY RISER
Farmer Brown and Farmer
Jones were near neighbors,and
many a dispute took place as
to who was the earlier riser.
One day Farmer Brown deter
mined to put the subject to a
test. Rising very early one
morning he proceeded to visit
his friend about four o’clock.
Great was his astonishment
when he saw Mrs. Jones hang
ing out the clothes.
“Farmer Jones about?” he
asked.
“Well,” replied the lady,“he
was the first part of the morn
in’ but I dunno where he is
now.”
-o
AND HE SAILED RIGHT ON
“Would ye do something for
a poor old sailor?” inquired
the seedy wanderer at the gate.
“Poor old sailor?” said the
lady at work over the washtub.
“Yessum; I followed the
water for sixteen years.”
“Well,” said the worker as
she resumed her labors, “you
certainly don’t look as if you
ever caught up with it.”

91 ARE INDICTED
UNDER TICK LAW
Ninety-one Logan county
farmers, indicted for violating
the anti-tick law by refusing to
dip their cattle, were recently
arraigned in circuit court at
Booneville, but after Judge
Cochran told them emphatical

every man voluntarily promis
ed to dip his cattle. Judge
Cochran continued the cases
until October, and it is believ
ed the indictments will be dis
missed if the farmers keep the
promises made to the court.

PROMINENT FARMER
KILLED BY NEGROES
R. L. Rutherford Killed Near
Pine Bluff by Tenant Whom
he Reproved for Drinking.
Pine Bluff, Sept. 19.—Rob
ert L. Rutherford, for a quar
ter of a century one of the lead
ing planters and residents of
I this county, was shot to death
today in a field on the Ruther
ford plantation, about six miles
I southeast of Pine Bluff by two
negroes, a shotgun and pistol
being the weapons used. The
negroes made their escape, but
both are widely known, and
the authorities believe the
bloodhounds, which were
brought tonight from the state
cornice farm at Tucker, will
lead the posses to the fugitives
during the night.
Negroes on the place are ap
parently loath to talk of the
i shooting, but according to the
! most reliable information ob
tainable, Mr. Rutherford w:
| compelled yesterday to upbraid
a negro tenant and employee
named Aaron Johnson, for
I drinking while both were in
jthe city. On his return to the
| plantation, Johnson is said to
have told another negro that
I Mr. Rutherford would not 'have
talked to him that way on the
place. Another scolding today
is said to have brought on the
shooting, the negroes making
the claim that John cursed Mr.
Rutherford, who thereupon fir
ed at him, none of the bullet
taking effect. The negro is said
to have then gone to his cabin
and procured a shotgun, with
which he fired upon Mr. Ruth
erford. Charles Corprue, anoth
er negro on the plantation, i
said to have aided in killing
Mr. Rutherford.
I he head, arms and should
ers of the deceased were per
: forated many times b\ the bul
j lets, and the physicians who
I examined the body announce
that the wounds were made
by both pistol balls and buck
shot.
The assassination created in
tense excitement throughout
this section and scores of men
are engaged in the search for
the negroes. Mr. Rutherford
was one of the best known and
most generally popular men in
the county. He was about 60
years of age, and is survived
by his widow andfourchildren,
Miss Ruth, who is visiting in
Waco, Tex., Misses Louise,
Hoshall and Nannie Ruther
ford. The family is widely con
nected.

'rls With Beautiful Faces
or Graceful Figures
American girls have a world-wide :
reputation for beauty, but, at th • ■ ime
time, there are girls in our citie who
possess neither beauty of fare nor
form, because in these instance they
suffer from nervousness, the result of i
disorders of the womanly want:! • 1.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them;
they arc so prostrated that it takes days
for them to recover their stren h. ( f
course, such periodic elistr< s b, ; its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
withered and drawn faces, tl dark
circles and crow’s feet about the < y< ;,
the straight figure without tin c
curves which lend so much to fewinin
beauty are the unmistakable signs of
womanly disorders.
When a girl becomes a woman, when
a woman becomes a mother, when a
woman passes through the chance, of
middle life, are the three period, of
life when health and strength are most
needed to withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierre’s
Favorite Proscription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the c.u'm;
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are v ■
lack ambition, are troubled w ! -
aches, lassitude and are pa! • an !

tion is just what they need t . s
