Jjmes Bradshaw Drad.
James Bradshaw, who formerly
had the contract for stacking lum
ber on the yards here for the Union
Saw Mill Co., died at Bokhoma.
Okla., Sunday. February 23. 1913.
at 2 o'clock of congestion and was
buried at Hope on Monday. He
leaves a wife, two brothers, two
sisters and four step children to
mourn his death.
I loved him. yes I loved him,
Bui the Angels loved him more,
And they have sweetly called him
To yonder bright shining shore.
The Heavenly gates were open,
And God's voice said come.
He bid farewell to those on earth,
And has gone to his eteral home
His Wife.
Tuts the Manure Spreader First.
No farmer who has never owned
or used a manure spreader can
have and adequate idea of its real
value or what a luxury, so to
speak, it is to own and operate one
of these machines. With a spreader
it is so easy to haul out the ma
nure and spread the same very
evenly all over the field, and to do
so when it ought to be done, as
fast as a load accumulates and
there is a field ready to receive it.
1 think more about the value of
farmyard manure, and it helps me
to conserve and to accumulate
more of it than 1 did before I got a
spreader. Furthermore, manure
can be made go twice as far, and
•vill do twice as much good as that
spread by hand with a fork. Jor

Mutual Oil & Gas Company Reorganized.
During the past week the Mu
tual Oil &, Gas Company was re
organized and chartered under the
laws of the State of Louisiana,1
with an authorized capital of
$100,000.
The Mutual Oil & Gas Company
is now one of.the strongest organ
izations which will operate in the
Caddo oil field, their holdings being
in the proven territory with many
good producers hear by.
Their derrick for well No. 1 is
already erected and arrangements
for early drilling is now being rrlade.
The Caddo oil field has the repu
tation of being one of the greatest
producing fields discovered in re
cent years, its area still unknown
and it is still in its infancy.
To one who has never visited the
oil field, a trip will prove both in
teresting and instructive.
There is great activity in the oil
field now and with the continuation
of good weather, activities will be
greater than ever known. Shreve

A number of Huttig citizens have
stock in this company and will be
pleased to learn of the above
changes.

John Pagp on Corn Planting.
Corn planting time will soon be j
here. First of all get some good
seed. There are several good va
rieties. Some like one and some
another. It is better to confine
your crop to one or two varieties.
The Johnson Countv White, the
Reid Yellow Dent, and a number
of others are good, but be sure and
select some good variety and then
get good seed.
The best way is to buy your seed
from some man who makes a spec
ialty of growing seed corn. Buy
the corn in the ear and shell it
yourself. Be sure it has been
tested to see how much will come
up when planted. Good seed men j
test their corn. Seed corn bought'
this way will cost more, but it pays.
If you plant your corn in rows 3 C
feet aoart. and have one stalk in i
the row to every 18 inches your
corn wi'l not be too thick, and you
will have 8.400 stalks. If each
stalk bears one gooo ear. and 100
ears would make a bushel, you
would make 84 bushels per acre, j
This would not be an unreasonable'
yield to expect under favorable;
conditions on good or well fertilized
land. Yet, how many farmers
make it? However, if 25 per cent;
of the send should not come up
the yield would be cut off 25 per
cent or 21 bushels per acre.
Don't plant the corn too thick,
but get a good stand and protect
it. Don't let the teams break it!
down or bite it off. during cultiva- j
tion. It will make a big difference 1
when you go to crib it in the fall.

BOOKS.
By George Fitch. Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adams.
Books are a sort of cold storage
for knowledge. Because of books
the world is now as wise as it was
100 years ago. plus what it has
learned since.
The book is an improved and
perfected memory. The wise man
isn't content with preaching ideas.
He sticks them into a book as fast
as they are turned out, and
four centuries later, wh-m some
ambitious agitator is misquoting
him for revenue only, some stern
critic will wiU rise from the audi
ence and smite him with the wise
man’s own words in 14-quarto vol
umnes. $2 cash and the balance
$2 a month until death do us part.
Books were once printed by hand
and were very difficult to produce.
This is no longer so. Nowadays
books aren't even written by hand.
A good easy running modern author
can keep stenographers and nine
printing presses busy, and can con
gest a small library all by himself.
A good book with illuminated
initials cost a small fortune five
centuries ago. But today a best
seller with a cover in four colors
and a red-hot plot can be bought
for 1.08 net. Books with wisdom
in them come considerably higher.
This is a great mistake. The
books on science, philosophy and
religion should be put in 50-cent
editions, and the books in which
the hero discovered the heroine out
swimming four miles from shore
and proposes to her under water
between clammy kisses, ought
to be sold for $5 apie-'e at drug
stores.

It is the ambition of almost every
man and woman to write a book
and, thanks to the cheapness of
paper and ink. this desire is being.1
generally realized. There are now <
over 4.000 000 books in the world.1
and a strong man beginning in his,
youth and reading twenty four
hours a days, could not catch up in
less than a thousand years. Wej
are told on good authority, how-|
ever, that if a man'will read five
lineal feet of books and choose
carefully he will become wise and '
content. Any one of a large num
ber of books will vastly improve
the mental equmment of the read
er. On the other l and, by reading
a few hundred cv Teated love
stories, as they drop l. m the,
presses, a wise man coul.i addle'
his brain beyond remedy.
Stern enters declare that no book
snouldbereadur.ti! it is at least
ten years old. The world has gone
farther than this, however. It has
refused to read most great writers i
until their books were over 100;
years old and the writers them
selves had died cf insufficient j
nourishment.
