FOR CHANCERY JUDGE
Lyman F. Reeder of Batesville
Will Enter Race
Hon. L. F- Reeder of this city
anounces that he will be a can
didate in the coming primary
election for the office of Chan
cellor of the Eighth Chancery
District to succeed Judge Geo.
T. Humphries who has held
that position since the office
was created in 1903.
Mr. Reeder has been one of
the most active attorneys and
his field, and scope of business
has perhaps been the widest
of any attorney of his age in
North Arkansas, and has been
connected with almost all cas
es of importance that have
been tried before the courts of
this setcfon of the state for
years past. He has been prac
ticing in the state, federal and
supreme courts since 1900, and
during the past eleven years
has been a member of the
well known firm of McCaleb
and Reeder.
His friends and attorneys
who are acquainted with him
feel that he is not only amply
qualified but peculiarly fitted
for the duties of the office and
he has been urged to enter the
race by leading and influen
tial citizens in each county in
the district.
His formal announcerent
will appear in the papers of
the district in a short time.
It is not yet known who will
oppose him in the race, or whe
ther he will have opposition,
but it is supposed that Hon.
Wm- R. Chestnut of Hardy, and
possibly Judge Humphries will
b e candidates.—B a tesville

NEW a. 0. U. W. LODGE

ize at Mammoth Spring
Mammoth Spring, Jan. 8.—
Gen- W. K. Surridge and wife
organized Mammoth Spring
Lodge No. 133, of the A. O. U.
W. at Mammoth Spring last
night, with a representative
charter membership. This is
the first lodge of this progress
ive order to be planted in the
extreme Northern part of the
State, but it isto be followed by
many others.
Organizers working at De
Vall’s Bluff Magnolia, McCro
ry, and Sparkman all report
most gratifying progress in the
organization of new lodges,
which will be instituted this
week. The number of Lodges
of this order is rapidly appro
aching 150, which is expected
will be reached by next sum
mer.
SCARCITY OF LIVE STOCK
For some time now it has
been apparent to those who
have given the matter thought,
that the country is threatened
with an alarming shortage of
live stock—especially meat
producing animals, though
horses and mules are also
showing a shortage.
When the war in Europe
first began it was suggested
that our farmers and stock
raisers devote greater attention
to increasing the number of
meat animals. It was pointed
out that the large foreign de
mand would make great in
roads on our supply. This was
the result, but not all the re
sult. The stimulated demand
caused prices to soar to ab
normal figure. These prices
in turn caused all who had
stock to push them on to the
market at the earliest moment,
with the result that housands
of head of sock went to the
butchers when it should have
been kept on the farms^
Stock buyers inform us that
for the past years the average
weight of hogs has steadily de
clined, due to the fact that the
heavy feeders have been prac
tically exhausted and the light
er animals are being pushed
onto the market.
At a meeting of food admin
istrators of a number of states
recently, it was the unanimous
decision, after surveying the
situation carefully, that a con
certed effort must be made to
increase the breeding of hogs
and cattle and each state rep
resented in the conference was
given its per cent of increase to
be attained.
r>ui il is rigni at tins point
the difficuly is encountered.
The high prices have not only
caused the immature animals
to be sacrificed, but thousands
of valuable females have also
been slaughtered which should
have been kept on the farm
There is not a particle of
doubt that the country is al
alarmingly short of breeders.
There is but one remedy. No
owner of hogs or cattle should
sell or kill females capable of
reproducing heir kind. This
should be made an iron-clad
rule on the farms of this coun
try. Certain it is that if the
past, or even the present rate
of consumption of females is
continued for* another twelve
months, the country will face
something little short of a meat
famine.
And, as prices now range,
this will be no sacrifice to the
farmers, but rather a source of
greater revenue as all will see,
if they look at the matter in
the right light.

SECRET OF SUCCESS
The secret of success is to
make ready for opportunity,so
that when responsibilities
come we may be ready to ac
cept them. The large majority
of us utterly fail to take advan
tage of all favorable oppor
tunities for study, especially in
our youth. And when there
comes a time in our lives when
a brilliant opportunity is with
in our reach we are not ready
for it. Young man have you
been endowed with one, five or
ten talents. What are you
doing wit hthose talents? You
will be called on for a report
some day.

you give space to 2000 pounds of real loughage, tree
from lint, compact, concentrated, solid.
Buckeye Hulls save half your storage space or enable
you to carry twice as much roughage.
Other Advantages
2000 pounds of roughage value
to the ton—not 1500.
Priced much less per ton.
Every pound goes farther.
Better assimilation of other food.
No trash or dust.
Sacked—easy to handle.
Mix well with other forage.
Mr. John Wicker, Forest, Miss., says:
that his first experience in feeding Buckeye Hulls was
unsatisfactory as he fed them improperly. He now
soaks the hulls over night, then feeds them and has
very satisfactory results. Mr. Wicker states that these
hulls are more economical than the old style hulls and
thinks that they go almost twice as far as the old style
hulls at a considerably less cost to begin with.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet (ha hull*
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding, if at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If yen prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by hulk £3 of old style hulls.
