NOTIFY COUNTY AGENT.
The campaign for Clove s and
Cover Crops is making great head
way. hindered now only by the dif
ficulty of getting clover seed. The
county agents, in counties so for
tunate as to have these valuable
servants, are very anxious to hav^
the names of all farmers who will
sow clover or seed a winter cover
crop of rye, wheat or oats. Farm
ers are urged to notify the county
agent and state what they will seed
and the acreage,
FLIES AND MOSQUITOES.
More screening of houses this
year than ever before in Arkansas,
thanks to our state secretary of
Public Health, the National Bu
reau of public health, the woman's
clubs and others. Public health
is an asset; sickness is a public
liability. Flies and mosquitoes
must be kept out of the houses.
More attention should be paid to
the sources of drinking water.
The biggest menace to health in
Arkansas is the miserable outdoor
privy and tne next is the »ou! well.
ABOUT SHIPPING CORN.
Don't ship corn, if there is
enough stock in the county to eat
it. From one neighborhood in
Southeast Arkansas three weeks
ago there were shipped to Illinois
5,000 bushels of corn and three
carloads of pigs. What a mistake!
Then, too, it will be necessary to
ship into other parts of that county
this year several thousand bushels
of corn and many carloads of mea‘.
Let everybody who anticipate ex
tra corn plan for cribs to save it for
December and January to sell to
his neighbors or to otrr parts of the
county. Farmers vho will have
corn to sell should inform the
county agent and he is certain to
know of men who will need to buy
corn. Arkansas will not have
enough corn this year to feed its
own stock. The Extension Divis
ion and U. S. Department of Agri
culture are anxion to keep Arkan
sas corn in Arkansas.
ABOUT COUNTY AGENTS.
) Fifty-one counties in Arkansas
have invested in county agricultur
al agents and it is the best invest
ment ever made by any county.
The county agent pays for the in
vestment in me ny ways. One
agent reports the vaccination of
2,800 hogs in ten months; another
vaccinated enough horses and cat
tle for anthax to pay h s s lary for
twenty years: another, in addition
to his other duties, has conducted
a campaign for screen doo s and
windows and has reduced the cases
of malaria. Agents below the
quarantine line have built s veral
hundred dipping vats and have su
pervised the dipping of thousands
of cattle. In all the counties they
are directing the campaign for clo
vers and cover crops and from their
work will be thousands of acres
of clovers and there will be more
acres of wheat and rye and oats
for winter cover crops than ever
before. The county agent and the
home demonstration agent are the
only two employes of a county that
I work for farmers all the time and
* the state and nation will pay one
i third of the salary. Every county
in Arkansas should have these
two valuable agents. Farmers
who believe in the agent idea
should let their views be known,
and emphatically too. Farmers in
non-agent counties should write to
C. W. Watson, state agent. Little
Rock, for information.
FARM PREPAREDNESS.
This rather new word is a mighty
good one for farmers to use. If
the nation should prepare for war
why should not the state, county,
neighborhood or individual farmer
prepare for winter and for the fu
ture? Why not for the next thirty
days, study ways of preparing?
Prepare cribs for corn, sheds for
cotton and tins for seed and sheds
for hay and sheds for farms tools.
Prepare for an abundance of feed
for all stock. Most Arkansas cows
are starved. Remember that cows
are machines for making butter fat
or good meat for the market. The
more feed, of the right kind, the
more of the marketable product.
Plant turnips for table and for the
cows. Plant rape for the pigs.
Sow rye for winter pasture for
cows and mules. Plant potatoes
and a dozen other things for the
table. Prepare!
COTTON CLASSING.
The Extension Division and U.
S. Department of Agriculture have
peifected cooperative arrange
ments with the office of Market
and Rural Organization for the
continuance of the classification of
cotton for the producers of the
stale and the representative of the
Office of Markets is now stationed
in the extension office in the old
state house, Little Rock. It is
commended that communities ap
point committees to attend to de
tails for sending sample for classi
fication. Supplies for sending in
samples of cotton may be had up
on application to G. E. Atkinson,
assistant in cotton marketing, or to
Dean J. H. Miller, old state house.

PI.AN MORE TERRACING.
Now is the time to plan for ter
r .cing pasture fields and corn and
| grain fields. Where there is'' a
county agent, call on him for lay
. ing out the work and for instruc
I tions. Don’t let our lands wash
away to the gulf. With terracing ]
and with cover crops, Arkansas
hillsides will return richer profits.
Watch the hillsides.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country then all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred

that Hall s Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

Tyhoid fever.
Apropos of the outbreak of in
fantile paralysis in New York Gity.
and the great unrest of the people
concerning the possible spread of
the disease to other ports of the
country, it is well to not overlook
the danger to which the public is
at all times exposed from typhoid
fever, malaria, tuberculosis and
other well known communicable
diseases which are constantly car
rying on their ravages.
Typhoid fever has in the past,
and is now. playing a tragedy which
will never be equalled by infantile
paralysis. Infantile paralysis may.
for a short season, claim a few
thousand lives: typhoid fever will
continue to claim its many thous
ands. In the United States every
year 400,000 persons contact ty
phoid fever, and 40,000 did from
the disease. Economically con
sidered, typhoid fever is one of the
three ranking diseases which affect
mankind, and its control consti
tutes one of the most difficult san
itary problems of the age.
Typhoid fever is more frequent
in the summer and fall than in oth
er seasons. This is because of the
increased danger from fly infection
and from a lowering of resistence
resulting from the summer heat.
Water supplies also are more apt
to become polluted in dry seasons
than in wet seasons.
Typhoid fever germs enter the
body through the mouth and find
lodgment in the intestinal tract
where they multiply, produce tox
ins. and, when absorbed by the
blood, give rise to certain symp
toms which constitute disease.
The disease never arises spontan
eously in the system. It can only
be acquired from some antecedent
case. The usual modes of trans
mission are by (a) contact, (b)
water, (c) milk, (d) flies, etc.
Typhoid fever is often spoken of
as a water-borne disease, because
in a large number of cases it is
contracted from the use of polluted
drinking water. Many severe epi
demics have been traced to con
taminated milk. Flies play a most
important role in the dissemination
of typhoid. The outbreak of ty
phoid fever in the U. S. army
camps, during the Spanish-Ameri
can war, was largely due to the
common house fly. Carelessness
in the disposal of the patient's ex
creta constitutes one of the great
est sources of danger in the spread
of the disease. Flies having ac
cess to such excreta carry the
germs and are capable of contami
nating food and drink.

Limiting Number of Amendments.
The present Constitution of Ar
kansas limits the number of
amendments that may be submit
ted to any one election to three.
This makes it impossible to secure
many needed amendments. The
Constitution formerly confined the
submission of amendments to the
legislature. Amendment No. 10
provided the people might also ini
tiate amendments, but they are still
limited to three. The proposed
Amendment No. 13 initiated by
the Sjtate Federation of Labor pro
vided that the legislature may still
submit three amendments, but in
addition the people may initiate as
many as desired, as was intended
by Amendment No. 10. This
makes it possible to make the de
sired number of amendments to
the Constitution at any election
without the necessity of a con
stitutional convention and these
tmendments must be published in
svery county for ninety days prior
to election, thus giving the people
full opfortunity to become familiar
vith them, in fact many of these
imendments will be discussed for
i year or more btfure they are
voted upon.
Some New Ways of Getting
Best of That Tricky Memory.
The old method of tying n string !
about the finger to recall to mind some
tusk to ho done at a certain (ime lias
been done away with. The new way
Is to transfer a ring from one finger
to another. On the accustomed fin
ger the ring feels natural and docs
not cause annoyance, hut on any oth
er finger it slightly irritates. This ir
ritation constantly will aid in recalling
tiie task to he done, .lust try it once.
Another and more novel way is to
carry a colored ribbon in the coat
lioeket. Suppose, now, you are in
your office. Your wife phones you
to he sure and bring home a certain
thing. Go to your coat hanging on
the office rack, take out the ribbon,
and tie it tightly around a sleeve.
At night when you start to go home
your fist will jam itself against the
tied sleeve. “Oh, yes,” you will say to
yourself, “there's that cough sirup Mol
ly told me to be sure and bring home
tonight." and off you will go at once
to make the purchase.

Some people have the idea that a bank is only for the
convenience of the rich and well-to-do. This is a great
mistake, for while the bank is a convenience to the man of
ample means, it is a NECESSITY to the man of limited
means who must handle his funds with greater care and
who is more liable to need financial aid.
Recently a man remarked that he had $25 that he
would like to deposit, but he supposed we would not want
to be troubled with so small an amount. No deposit is so
small but what it be appreciated by us and as carefully
lookek after as those of greater amounts.
We often hear the remark from parties that they must
use their money and so cannot deposit it. No account is
more desirable to us than that of the man who must use his
money, for he gives his checks to his friends and neighbors
this causes them to come to our bank and in this way he
sends us many new accounts. We will appreciate your
account.

the same reason the Supreme Test of 'Saw

There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a ru!e people know
furniture when they use it The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of ins'de
B worth. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the "Saw Test." Because
everyone who has used it wi I tell you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don't buy "Saw Test” Furniture *on faith.
No siree! You buy it with the positive cer
