The recent disasterous fire in
Hot Springs will in no wise inter
fere with the holding of the Ark
ansas State Fair this fall. The
fire swept district is far removed
from the fair grounds and not even
the street car tracks and other
communication with the fair
grounds were damaged.
The progress of the plans for the
fair on a magnificient scale have
not been interfered with in the
least and the officers of the fair
wish to announce to every resident
of the state that the fire which de
stroyed a considprable section in
the residence district has not in
terfered or obstructed general
business plans. The hotel capac
ity of the city is unimpared and
Hot Springs will be in as good shape
as ever to care for the visitors to
the state fair.
Long before the date of the state
fair the public utilities will be
running to their full capacity, the
fire debris will have been cleared
away and Hot Springs will be ready
to welcome the state fair crowds
the same as in the past.
Exhibitors and prospective visit
ors are asked to make no change
in their plans as the Arkansas
State Fair will be the greatest and
grandest exposition in all the
south this year.
This information is authorized
by the officials of the state fair.
Lumbago and Rheumatism.
A quick relief for lumbago and
rheumaticm is had bv the applica
tion of Hunt's Lightning Oil, the
quick acting liniment. A friend
writes, "we have been using Hunt’s
Lightning Oil for 13 years and
deem it above all others.” Mrs.

Severe Rheumatism.
Grove Hill, A.a: Hunt’s Lightning
Oil cured my wife of a severe case
of Rheumatism and my friend of
toothache. I surely believe it is
good for all you claim for it.-- A. R.

Cattle Ticks and Pipping Vats.
In letters previously written I
have tried to impress the impor
tance of stock raising. Now comes
for consideration one of the most
important matters affecting stock
raising in the south. 1 refer par
tlcurlarly to tne cattle tick, known
as the Texas fever tick. How he
came here and wh°re he came
from are matters of interest but
pot of importance. He is h°re
and has been for years. What he
is doing and how to handle him are
tne questions. The cattle ticks
gel on the cattle during thesummer.
They suck the blood and puison
the cattle. Sometimes the cattle
die and sometimes they do not.
If the cattle die they become a
total loss to the farmer. If they
don't, they are a partial loss any
way. A fresh cow will give a quart
more milk whcn she is free from
ticks than when she is not. A
Steer will fatten when he is free
from ticks; he won’t wha 1 i*
covered with ticks. A calf will
thrive and grow when free from
■ ticks; it won't when i fected with
'ticks, but will make a runt, and
maybe live through the winter to
die in the spring.
Four-fifths of Arkansas is under
quarantine by the National Govern
ment against shipping out caitle
except under certain restrictions,
| on account of the cattle tick. Do
you know the effect of this? It
affects the price of the cattle.
Cattle from the quarantined sec
tions will not bring within three
dollars per head as much as from
the other sections, on an average.
This applies to Arkansas. We
have in the quarantined district,
750.000 head of cattle. Thus
you see the presence of the cattle j
tick in four-fifths of the state is
costing the people of Arkansas $2,
250,000. We as farmers would
be over two million dollars better
off in the value of our cattle if we
had no cattle ticks in the State.
Just think of it: Enough money
to buy winter shoes for all the
children in Arkansas! Enough to
buy milk to raise all the babies in
Arkansas! Enough to buy a
dress for all the mothers in Arkan- '
sas! Enough to buy a saddle for
all the boys in Arka-sas! Enough
to piace a Bible and spellin? book
in the hands of every man, woman
and child in Arkansas! Enough to!
gild every church spire or to gar- !
nish the festal boa-d in every home
with fowl and food and flowers on
Thanksgiving day. What a toll we
are paying for our neglect in not
getting rid of the pest.
since tne wotk ox tne ticn eraa -
cation was begun in 1909 about
twenty per cent of the State has
been cleared of the tick. Let us
educate and organize and work as
hard and fast as possible to get the
other eighty per cent. The work
of eradication has been going on in
some parts this year. Let us try
to get it extended to all parts. We
should have general law that would
require the organization of tick
eradication districts, and permit the
as'essment of taxes on every head
of kine for eradication purposes.
Let's go to work with a will aga'nst
the cattle ticks. Let's help to get
dipping vats built in every neighbor
hood. Regular dipping will soon
get rid of the ticks. If you want
information aoout making dipping
vats or dipping mixture, write me.
By all means let us have concerted
action in this movement, and let s
do something that will have telling
effect. C ttle are high and going
higher, and we can t afford to over
look the opportunity that stands
before for making profit in the
cattle business.
Also remember about the hog
cholera, and cholera serum.
Write to Dr. Gow, Fayetteville, for
the serum. He furnishes it at
cost, and will administer it for you
if you will pay his expenses.
Yours very truly
John H. Page,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Neill C. Mars!) for Clrruit Judge.
The announcement of Judge
Neill G. Marsh, of El Dorado, as h
candidate for the position of Cir
cuit Judge of the 13th Judicial
Circuit appears in this issue of the
News, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary on Saturday.
November 1 st.
Judge Marsh hardly needs an
introduction to the voters of Union
county at our hands but for the
benefit of those who do not know
him personally we give the follow
ing sketch. He came to Union
county nineteen years ago as a
school teacher but soon took up
the practice of law and has been a
diligent student ever since. He
served this couniy as judge 'one
term not asking for reelection and
also served the city of El D >rado
as mayor in a most acceptable
manner. He ran foi prosecuting
attorney of this district six years
ago and was defeated by only a
small margin, carrying two of the
four counties.
He is a student of his profession
and public affairs in general, knows
the law and believes in its strict
enforcement, is conscientious in
the discha ge of his duty, stands
for the best interest of the common
people, his p^rty and his state.
He is a staunch and true Demo
crat from the core and in the re
cent special election for governor
was sent out by the state central
committee to make a number of
speeches in the interest of Gov.
Hays at his own expense.
There is no better qualified law
yer in this district for this impor
tant position tha.. Judge Marsh as
he is a man of broad views, wel
versed in law, with a courage of his
'convictions which every judgr
1 should possess.
He is Union county’s candidate
and will render the best that is in
him if elected, be true to his trust
and will make a judge we can all
be proud of. He will appreciate
your support on November 1st.

Is a queer phenomenon, but there
is nothing queer about the quick
relief given to Rheumatism by
Hunt's Lightning Oil. John Coff
man, Route 4. Shawnee, Okla.,
says: “My wife is over 66 years
and and had Rheumatism in her
neck and the first application did
the work, and we will keep it on

many of the voters of this-county
having made the race for this
office in 1910 and ran next to
W. H. Matthews Jr., the success
ful candidate out of eleven in the
race.
He was reared on a farm and
follows farming for a living, but
has the educational qualifications
necessary to make a good com
petent assessor: he knows land
numbers and how to locate land.
He will make a painstaking, court
eous and accommodating official if
elected to this office and asks your
support on his m erits to properly fill
the same. Don't forget his candi
dacy when you cast your ballott in
the primary election.
