A Clover Campaign.
A clover field is everywhere
taken as a symbol of richness,
richness of owners and richness in
fertility of land, A field of clover
is a rich pasture for all kinds of
livestock, and beautiful to look up
on. Its roots go down into the
earth and bring about fine
texture of the earth for tilling. On
the clover roots are found homes,
as it were, of bacteria that take ni
trogen from the air and add to the
wealth of the soil more food for
other plants. There are many
clovers and practically all of them,
with proper care, do well in Arkan
sas. Some clovers grow well here
even without care. The wealth of
a state may well be measured by
its acreage of clovers and alfalfa.
Crimson clover will grow in most
soils although in many farms in
oculation may be necessary. It
should be tried out in a small way
first. It may be seeded in the cot
ton at the last cultivation at the
rate of 15 pounds per acre. Bur
clover is a wonderful plant and may
be seeded in cotton at or after the
last cultivation or in the open field.
It will make a good pasture this
winter and plowed under about the
last of April and the ground plant
ed to cotton, the clover will cover
the ground again by September for
another winter pasture. Bur clo
ver sown on Bermuda sod fur
nishes winter pasture. Red clover
will do well on almcs'. any
farm in Arkansas and may be seed j
ed in the fall or in the spring
White clover makes a rich pasture I
and Japan clover, lespedeza, grows j
almost anywhere and is a fine pas
ture and a most excellent hay crop.
Every farmer in Aikansas is
urged to get “on the clover wagon"
and be able to say on or before
October that he has seeded from
five to one hundred acres of clover.
The clover family is an aristocratic j
family, probably the most beautiful j
plant family known in Arkansaa
and yet the most democratic, as it
will almost come for the asking and |
it blesses both the farmer and the,
passerby. Bankers, editors, mer
chants, lawyers, preachers, teach
ers and all patriotic people are en
tering the campaign for making
Arkansas a great clover state.
And, last but not least, let thous
ands of progressive farmers plan
for a few acres of that “Queen of
the Clovers," alfalfa. A circular,
or planting program, for clovers
and grasses has been prepared and
will be sent free on request to the
Director of Extension Division,
Fayetteville or Little Rock, or a
copy may be had from the county
agent or any banker.

Woman’s Home Mission Notes.
Mrs. W. A. Hemphill has been
elected president of the Womans’
Home Mission society of the Meth
odist church.
The society will meet in open
session next Monday af
ternoon, July 3, with Mrs. W. J.
Jeffus. All the ladies of the town
ar$ cordially invited to he present.
It was decided at the regular
meeting last Monday to hold the

for Winter feed.
Don't forget that rape planted in
August will make fine pasture for
the pigs in October and November;
that turnips planted in July or
early August will make fine feed
for the cows and calves all winter;
that sweet potatoes planted by the
first week in July make fine feed
for the pigs. Plan ahead and raise
all the feed needed for all the stock
and be sure to plan for green pas
tures for every month. Then
don't forget the pumpkins. Stick
in a hundred or more seed in the
corn field, a'ong the edges of any
field, in the old orchard, around the
stable, along the creek banks or
“any old place." The Kentucky
Mammoth is a good variety for cow
feed and no person should forget
to plant one hundred seed of the
sugar pumpkins for pies.
Catarrhsl Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they 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 Dcufutss is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube !■
inflamed you have a rumpling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless 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 the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem.
We will glv** One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure. Circulars
free. All Druggists, 76c.

Uses Human Mouth is Subjected.
The mouth is one of the most
important organs of the human
body. It is located in the lower
part of the face for the purpose of
talking, laughing, singing, eating,
drinking, kissing, and is a place
where whiskers meet and part.
It smokes, drinks, swears, lies,
prays and tel's the truth—some
times.
Some mouths look like Cupid’s
bow, and remind you of Heaven.
Others look like a Frankfurter and
remind you of the other place.
Some have an odor of ros^s, and
others smell like limberger cheese.
It's a corn sheller, meat chop
per, potato masher, nut cracker,
bone polisher and hash machine.
It's a receptacle for peanuts,
popcorn, chesnuts and a tango hall
for chewing gum.
It's a carvern for ice cream, can
dy, soda and a garbage can for
chocolate.
It's a palace for lobsters, oysters,
clams, salads and a pantry for pie.
It’s a cuspidor for chewing to
bacco, snuff, pipes, cigars and a
woodshed for toothpicks.
It's the old maid's reservoir for
tea and cocoa, and the coffee
fiend’s foretaste of Heaven.
It's the grocer's friend, the
butcher's vault for the dead, the
rum seller's sewer and the dentist’s
safe deposit for gold.
It s the druggist's medicine chest
for pills, castor oil and other de
licasies and the undertaker’s funer
al director.
Its the rich man's buffet for
wines, cocktails and champagne,
and the poor man's rum shop for
whiskey, rum and beer.
It’s the father’s commander, the
mother’s adviser, the husband's
grumbler, the wife’s scolder, the
boy’s teaser, the girl's chatterbox
and the suffragette's hellraiser.
It's the tatHer's telephone, the
bragger's trumpet, the slanderer's
phonograph and the agitator’s
megaphone.
It’s the judge’s condemner, the
lawyer’s prevaricator, the prison
er’s appealer and the jailer's si
lencer.
We print ladies’ calling cards.

Union Saw Mill Co.
By F. W. Scott,
Secy, and Treas
Brough favors Amendment No. I t.
From address*of C. H. Brough.
Democratic nominee for governor
of Arkansas, delivered at the Dem
[ ocratic State Convention, Little
Rock, June 1, 1916:
“1 believe that our Democracy
should be made far reaching and
flexible through the further exten
sion of the system of- initiative and
referendum. The present limita
tion of the number of amendment1
that can be submitted at any one
election to three is an unwise lim
itation on the powers of the people
and 1 believe that these powers
should be safeguarded by the right
of the people to express tnem
selves fully at any time upon any
subject. If the extension of
Amenument No. 10 by the pending
Amendment No. 13 proves unsuc
cessful and inadequate, then 1 shall
favor the convening of a Constitu
tional Convention for the purpose
of clothing the people of Arkansas
with government garments that
will fit their expanding needs.”
The foregoing statement by Dr.
Brough goes far to stamp him as a
democratic Democrat and not one
of machine variety, and a far see
ing statesman as well. None but
a man whose faith is profound in
the ability of the people to wisely
govern themselves would advocate
the extension of the initiative and
referendum and at a time when he
knows that his election is assured,
and this should be conceded true
by fair minded men of whatever
political party.
| Discerning siaiesmansnip is
| shown in his implied faith that
j Amendment No. IS will clothe the
people of Arkansas with all the
power necessary for their expand
I ing needs, and without the neces
sity of a Constitutional Convention.
This amendment was dnwn to ac
complish this purpose, and by some
of the best legal talent availabe
aided by those who have made this
charater of legislation a study for
years, and guided by the experience
of initiative and referendum laws
in other states and our tr al of the
initiative and referendum in Arkan
sas. A vote at the next election
for Amendment No. 13 means a
vote for a peoples goverment
against machine rule.
Conflict With Mexico.
If we are driven by Mexican out
rages upon American citizens, and
the arrogance of Gen. Garanza, to
war with that country, it will not
take many months to clean them
up, unless it should turn out that
Japan is secretly backing Garanza,
and it is not believed that she is.
In our war with Mexico in 1846,
we never lost a battle and we were
outnumbered 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 in
every instance. Mexico has no
munition factories, nor enough
skilled workmen to build and oper
ate one of any consequences.
Blue Serge.
To the good old days I sing my
dirge, when everybody wore blue
serge. When a blue serge skirt
and white Shirt waist you can bet
were then the proper taste; and al
most every male galoot did own for
Sunday a blue serge suit. For
there are no clothe which do com
pare with the service of blue serge
wear. The fady colors and stuff
palm beach I would put them out
of sight and reach. No, you could
not give them all to boot for my
dear old shiny blue serge suit.
The campaign committee of the
State School Directors’ association
met in Little Rock last week in re
sponse to a call issued by President
Allen Winham. and decided, among
other things, to cooperate with all
the other agencies which are work
ing for the adoption of Amendment
No. 12. At this meeting it de
veloped that the 50.000 directors
of the state are vigorously support
ing this proposed legislation to se
cure better schools and enable
those in operation to continue
without interruption The influ
ence of this large number of lead
ing citizens of Arkansas is expect
ed to be petential.

Wishing and Doing
Success in any undertaking cannot be had by merely
wishing for it. Success is an illusive thing, and it takes
real work and perseverance to accomplish it.
Perhaps it has been your ambition for years to have a
nice bank account or perhaps there is some good invest
ment that you would- like to make if you could get enough
money together at one time to make it.
It is a worthy ambition to wish to get ahead, and the
thing tcwdo is to put in the real work and self-denial that
will make this come true and be a reality. Nothing can be
accomplished without some sacrifice.
The first thing to do is to get in the saving habit.
Make the start. Then by hard work and persistence add
to your account at every opportunity and soon your fond
est wishes will come true. Make the start now.
