ARKANSAS HOGS
BRING BIG PRICE
The following item from the
National Live Stock Reporter
is furnished The Journal by

hogs in this part of Arkansas:

276 lb and brought $12.35 per
cwt, the highest price everipaid
for hogs from the above state.
His consignment also included
seven packer sows averaging
373 lb at $11.30 per cwt.
“Mr. Shelby has been highly
successful with live stock dur
ing the past two or three years,
which period marks the ex

line. All the hogs he raises are
immunized on his own place.

Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel

lift off with fingers.
Ouch It!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
one’s feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn’t have freezone tell
bilU to order a small bottle for you.

TICK ERADICATION
BILL IS PASSED
Fifty Thousand Dollars Ap
propriated to Carry on Work
In the Entire State
Little Rock, Feb. 6.—The
! senate this morning passed
without discussion the Cazort
bill appropriating $50,000 for
tick eradication.
The bill was passed in the
house last week.
By the passage of this bill,
which provides the work of
eradicating the cattle tick must
cover the entire state, the gov
ernment will contribute $100,
000 to aid in the campaign.
Many other southern states
have adopted the state-wide
campaign to wipe out the cat
tle tick, and this move upon
the part of Arkansas is regard
ed as one of the best pieces of
legislation enacted at the pre
sent session of the legislature,
as it will insure not only the
wiping out of disease among
cattle to a large extent, but
will add much to the value of
Arkansas cattle when shipped
to market.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
IN NEW YORK CITY
Say* There Are So Many Peo
ple in Great City He Can’t
See Anybody
Mr. Editor.—The city is
agog with war news, even the
churches are stirred on the war
problem. While some are pray
ing for peace, some say stand
by the President whether it is
war or peace, with all the en
thusiasm that Americanism can
produce.
The city fathers and the citi
zenship have other problems
it seems they cannot solve. One j
is what they term the River
side grab by the New York
Central Railroad. Should the
railroad succeed in getting it, it
would destroy River Side Park
along the Hudson river front.
For miles along the bank are
many shade trees and rest
places for the women and
children, and the women are
making the biggest fight for it
by holding mass meetings to
arouse the public to greater
activity to save the park.
Another problem is what is
the city going to do about its
traffic. The different avenues
ire so congested, especially
5th avenue, which would be
impossible to cross almost if it
were not for the traffic police
to hold up 5th avenue until
some of the cross streets could
get by. By actual test made by
the city, the pedestrian on the
sidewalk of 5th avenue made
better time than the auto or
taxicab, on account of the con
gestion. It has been figured
out that on some of the streets
if the apartment houses, flats
and hotels were to be emptied
and their occupants file into
the streets it would fill the
street three deep as thick as
they could stand. By actual
count as many as twenty thou
jsand people live in one block.
This is city authority. That
isn’t the worst congestion
either. When you enter a sub
way or the elevated (I don’t'
know about the surface cars I
have never ridden on them)but
you see a circular on the wall
of the cars which reads: “If
you know anyway to better
handle the traffic, will you
please tell us or suggest to us?’’
The subway has four tracks,
two for the local and two for
the express. So has the elevat
ed. Then the surface cars, and
they all cannot handle the
traffic in rush hours. As I be-1
fore have stated, they hitch a
long string of cars together. As
quick as one train is filled up,
it moves out and another fol
lows right after.
Congestion? A sardine boxi
isn’t in it. They are standing so
thick, the short ones—well, I
would hate to be one. Why, a
man could hug and kiss one of
those fine Jewess ladies and
she would never know it. If you
don’t hold a stiff neck you
might come in contact with
some face that you did not ap
preciate.
The city is building more:
subways and more elevated
roads all the time, but the pop
ulation increases faster than
they can build.
The city has said that taking
the Grand Central Station at
42nd street as center, and in
a fifteen mile circle around it,
there dwells eight million peo
ple.
Take New York City alone
and it contains nearly three
times the inhabitants of the
state of Arkansas. It isn’t any
wonder that the city is con
gested. The city’s transit cars
move one million people daily.
Another problem, Billy Sun
day is coming to town in the
spring for a three months meet
ing. They are building a taber
nacle for him with a seating
capacity of 22,000, are organ
izing a chon* of 6,000 trained
singers, male ana female, who
.will alternate in singing.
Quoting from a daily paper,
it says: “You will hear a lot
more people whistling hymns
than ragtimes when Billy gets
to town.”
George, his son, said here in
this city that if it was money
his father was after, he woui^
have accepted a million which
he was offered to go in the
movies but refused. He also
refused $350,000 for five days
work in the movies. It is said
that Billy Sunday has repeat
edly refused to commercialize
Christ.

Arkansas Prison Population
Shows Many Churches Rep
resented Among Convicts
The population of the Ark
ansas penitentiary, during the
past two years, increased ap
proximately 20 per cent, ac
cording to the report of the
Penitentiary Commission, made
public a few days ago.
The report shows that there
were 1,038 prisoners in the pen
January 1, 1915, and that
there were 1,255 prisoners Jan
uary 1, 1917.
During the two years time
covered by the report, 485 con
victs were pardoned, 105 were
paroled, 90 died and 245 es
caped.
The total number of prison
ers received during the two
years was 2,002, and the total
number released by expiration
of sentence, death, pardon, es
cape, etc., was 1,758.
The following interesting
facts are taken from the report*
Occupations of prisoners
ranged from schoolboys to sail
ors and from farmers to bank
ers. Newspaper men, dentists,
lawyes and doctors apparently
were exempt. Common labor
ers ranked first in numbers,
with G01, while farming was
the second occupation in the
number of representatives in
the institution. During the two
years 251 farmers began pris
on sentences.
There were but few voca
tions and occupations which
were not represented in the
prison ranks, bankers, barbers,
bartenders, brickmasons, car
penters, blacksmiths, cooks,
butchers, electricians, lumber
men. laundr.vmen,railroad men,
plumbers, shoemakers,soldiers,
teachers, veterinarians and
persons of other occupations
make up the prison population.
Seven religious denomina
tions were represented in the
institution, while 49 convicts
declared they believed no re
ligion. According to the report
of the commission, the convicts
expiessed themselves as be
longing to the following de
nominations: Baptist, 859;
Methodists, 622; Presbyterians,
205; Episcopalians, 71; Cath
olics, 76; Holiness, 39; Christ
ian Scientists, 2.
Eight convicts were serving
their third prison sentence,
while 1,851 of thelconvicts were
“first termers.” Sixty-four
were serving second terms.
Results of the Statewide pro
hibition law were seen in the
number of convicts—155—who
were serving sentences for il
legal sale of liquor. The most
common crime, according to
the number of convicts serv
ing sentences for such, was
grand larceny, for which 502
were under prison sentences.
Crimes for which the great
er number of convicts were
serving sentences follow: As
sault to kill, 151; burglary,

Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,

Thirty-nine convicts in the
penitentiary ana on the con
vict farms are serving life sen
tences.
Fifteen men were sent to the
penitentiary during 1915 and
1916 to be electrocuted, and
five were executed. Six receiv
ed commutations to life im
prisonment, and litigation now
is staying execution of two
others.
The men electrocuted were
Sam Derrick, white; and Will
Neeley, John Hall, Walter
Owens and Clay Simms, neg
roes. Of the 15 men received
for execution four were white
and 11 negroes.
Pulaski sent 246, or more
than twice as many convict,
to the penitentiary as any oth
er county in the state. Three
counties tied in sending the
fewest number. They were |
Boone, Izard and Marion, with
only one prisoner each.
THEY ARE ALL OF
THE SAME STRIPE
Some men will slip up to
your corn crib and steal your
corn you labored and earned,
others will break in your store
and steal your goods or buy
them on credit and never pay
for them and still others will
blow a safe and take that
which does not belong to them,
while there are some who are
content to “sponge their way
through life and stoop to such
things as having a newspaper
come to their address as long
as possible and then refusing
to pay for it. There is a differ
ence in the character of the
offenses but they are all in the
same class.

Being Able to Depend Up- •
on a Well-Earned Re

For months Newark readers
have seen the constant expres
sion of praise for Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, and read about the
good work they have done in
this locality. What other reme
dy ever produced such convinc
ing proof of merit?
John Edwards, Hoxie, Ark.,
says: “I had a dull, heavy ache
in my back and any exertion
or a cold made it worse. My
kidneys acted too frequently
and the kidney secretions pain
ed when passing. Then Doan’s
Kidney Pills were brought to
my notice, I got some and one
box made me feel much better.
After I had taken three boxes,
not a sign of kidney trouble
remained. The cure they gave
me has lasted.”
Price 50c, at all dealers.
