DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS AND UNION COUNTY.
VOL. VIII. NO. 41.
HUTTKi. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 1915,
PRICE, $1 PER YEAR
FAVOR THREE CENT RATE.
Petitions From Ituttlq and Felsenthal Sent
to Members of Legislature.
Two numerously signed petitions
one from Huttig and from
Felsenthal, were sent to Hen J.
Monroe Smith, state senator from
this district, Thursday bearing the
following heading:
“To the Honorable Members of
the Arkansas Legislature
Now in Session:
“We, the undersigned, represent
that we are citizens of Arkansas
and that we are patrons of the va
rious railroads and that we do more
or less traveling in the state, and
we are of the opinion that the two
cent rate is not sufficient to enable
railway companies to give the pub
lic such accommodations as the
public should have, and we. there
fore, respectfully request that your
body pass a bill at this session in
creasing the passenger rate for
railroads in this state from two to
three cents so that the railway
company will be able to furnish to
the public safe and adequate facili
ties. We recognize the fact that
the people need good service, and
that the railway companies are un
able to furnish the very best serv
ice unless they have funds to pro
vide the means for the same.’’
It is gradually dawning upon the
minds of the people that there has
been too much adverse legislation
against the railroads of recent
years the country over and a sense
of just’ce is being aroused that the
error should be corrected.
Arkansas’ biggest industry out
side of farming is that of lumber
manufacturing and the laboring
people realize that the railroads be
ing the largest users of lumber
must make a profit in order to
maintain and better equip their
rolling stock. Also that when the
railroads are prosperous the lum
ber industry is prosperous and they
are willing to pay the little differ
ence for what riding they do in or
der to secure steady employment.
Railroads are unlike individuals
in a way, as the individual can con
duct his business, to a certain ex
tent, to suit himself, but the law
making bodies have been curtailing
the rights of the railroads and dic
tating how their funds should be
spent until it seems to be the con
sensus of opinion that there is no
profit whatever being made by the
railroads and the depression along
that line of industry is effecting all
other business to a certain extent,
and the lumber industry more than
any other.

Are You Still Tarming Poor Land?
The farmer who would have rich
land quickest and at least expense
must at once adopt the plan of at
least one soil-improving crop for
each non-soil-improving crop
grown and sold. When this has
been done, and not before, the
foundation will have been laid for
an enduring system of agriculture.
What does this mean? Simply
that we, each and every one, must
see to it, beginning this year, that
every possible acre is kept busy
winter and summer growing soil
building crops. If all your 1914
cotton fields that are to be in culti
vated crops this year are now cov
ered with crimson clover, bur clo
ver or vetch: if all your lands now
in oats or other small grain are to
grow peas, bean or clover following
the grafn; and if peas, beans or
peanuts are to be planted in all
your corn middles this summer,
then you’re on the highroad to rich
lands, big yields and maximun
profits. If not—well, frankly,
you’re falling short of your oppor
tunities.—The Progressive Farmer.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank all who as
sisted us in sending H. W. Impsor

Beware of Ointments tor
Catarrh That Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O... contains no
mercury, and is taken Internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's

R. G. Vinson of El Dorado re
turned home Tuesday after treat
ing the herd of hogs owned by Neel
& Wood for cholera with the new
remeiy owned by the Southern
Remedy Co., of El Dorado known
! as Stringer's Cholera Cure. He
treated 35 head and saved every
one despite the fact that sevrn
had died in one day before the
treatment was commenced. This
company has been experimenting
since last May with this remedy
and claim they have not lost a hog
where treatment was given before
the hog was too sick to eat. The
remedy will be put on the market
soon and those interested expect
to reap great benefits as well as
the users.

Swat the Fly.
Now is the time not only to Swat
the stray fly we see in the house,
but to make plans for the clean'i
ness of the stable, the location of
the pig pen, and the screening of
the doors, windows and porches.
Doctors te'l us that the only way
in which to get many a man to
screen his house is to have some
one get desperately sick and have
to pay for a doctor as well as the
screens. Mrs. W. N. Hutt, in The
Progressive Farmer.

Blessed Is The Man.
How blessed is the man who
asks no office, low or high, who,
rustles at his useful task, nor
yearns to bleed and die! No SDoiled
ambitions make him sore or cause
him to repine; and every day at ev
ery door, he gets the “Welcome’^
sign. He is no politician's pup. to 1
follow him through town; no whip
, oersnapper higher up can ever call
aim down. He does not need to
whine and sob in some cheap state
nan's ears, that he may hold his
inky j^b another term of years.
It isn't needful to pretend he loves
the unwashed jay: he needn't call
his bosom friend each rube who
;omes his way. He cares not for
,miles or frowns of people of high
place, in his old blue hand-me
downs. he toils with skill and
grace. From all official fetters
free, he herds his lowing kine, and
prunes the spreading pumpkin tree,
and trains the cabbage vine. Ad
ministrations oft may change, and
patriots may weep: such th:ngs do
not his plans derange, or make him
j lose his sleep. Let others break
their hearts to nab those prizes
dear to men; all quietly he keepeth
tab upon his setting hen. How
blesse i is the man who’d take no
office, small or big! Who'd rather
stay at home and make a bouton
for his pig. Walt Mason.

When a father sits in his chair

Getting lip in the World
Some men work almost day and night all their lives and yet nev
er have anything, while others with apparently not half the effort
live well and locate on Easy Street before they reach middle age.
Some people say it is luck, but if you get down to the real cause
of the one s failure and the other’s success you will find that it is all
most always because of the different habits.
The one man carries his money around in his pocket and spends
it freely and thoughtlessly for everytning he see that he wants, while
the other banks his money, saves some part of everything that he
earns, keeps a business-like record of his transactions by means of
his checks and establishes a standing at the bank that enables him to
get financial aid whenever he needs it.
Nothing can be of more help to you in getting up in the world and
making a success of your business than an account at this bank.
It is not what you make out what you save that counts.

Here’s how thirty feet of celluloid cost $50,000.
When the moving picture action for Louis Joseph
Vance’s new and sensational novel, “The Trey O’
Hearts,” was being outlined something happened.
The producer pointed out seven places in the novel
that he claimed could not be portrayed in pictures.
But they were.
It only took thirty feet of film to do it, but it cost
$50,000 to get the negatives I
See if you can find these situations in the pictures.
They are just one of the many things worth look
ing for in—
The T rey 0’ Hearts
It is the most extraordinary picture production ever made,
and will probably never be beaten and seldom if ever equaled.
It cost the Universal Film Co. $20Ql,000 to produce the reels
