A Card From Judge Hays.
To the Editor of the News:
I am sorry to learn that through
some source, possibly unfriendly to
me, the wrong impression has been
circulated with reference to the
manner in which my successor
wi 1 be selected if 1 succeed in my
race for Governor.
1 wish to assure the people of
my ditrict that I have absolutly no
intention of lending any personal
influence that I may have towards
any candidate who may aspire to
succeed me. 1 appreciate any in
terest that any man may show in
my candidacy, but 1 certainly have
no understanding with anyone to,
in return, favor them in any am
bition they may have to be circuit
judge.
My greatest desire in this matte*
is to have the people themselves
choose the man they wish to serve
them during the unexpired term
that would follow my election to
the Governor's office. There are
no people on earth to whom 1 owe
greater appreciation than the peo
ple of the 13th Judicial Circuit, and
1 hope to prove this to them by my
conduct in all matters that effect
their welfare and happiness. 1 ask
my friends to listen to no designing
rumors against me but to lend me
their unceasing friendship and help
in my present race.
I want to assure my friends, from
the best information obtainable, and
that, too, coming from every section
of the state, we have this race won.
Most every one admits that with a
good majority from South Arkansas
1 will be elected. It can be seen,
therefore, that it is up to the peo
ple of the 13th judicial Circuit to
come to the polls as one man and
cast their ba'lot for their home
candidate. If none of my people
shrink this obligation, and 1 feel
sure that they will not South Ark
ansas will have the next Governor.
Assuring the people of my district
of my appreciation of the many
kindnesses extended to me through
out this race, as well as in the past,
1 remain,
Yours very truly,
Geo. W. Hays.

Muut’s Cure.
At one time I had a very bad
case of Eczema. It troubled me
for seven or eight years, and, al
though I tried all kinds of medicine
and several doctors, 1 got no re
lief until I used Hunt's Cure. 1
used several boxes, and it finally
cured me. and 1 have always kept
a box with me for fear it will come
back. A. D. Goodenough,

Shallow Cultivation.
At this time of the year we do
not feel the need of conservation
of moisture, but we will later on.
Deep cultivation causes a loss of
much moistue. Shallow cultivation
will hold it. The plowing must be
shallow, and especially so from now
on, and lots of it.
Shallow cultivation twoor three
inches; or just deep enough to kill
the weeds and produce a loose
mulch is the most satisfactory for
corn. By the time corn is about
two feet high the roots will inter
lace when the rows are three and
a half feet apart. It has been
found that three hundred tons of
water is required to produce one
ton of dry matter in corn. To get
the best results then, the moisture
must be saved and the roots must
not be injured. Shallow culti
vation kills the weeds, saves the
life roots and produces a dust
mulch which conserves the
moisture.
After rains the soil generally
bakes and crusts. In this con
dition the soil moisture evaporates
very rapidly and the cultivators and
other means of light plowing must
be set to work to maintain the
much needed mulch which holds
the moisture. A crust on the sur
face of the ground cause the
moisture to be drawn out of the
subsoil t6 the surface, where it is
quickly lest by evaporation. Run
a light harrow over the ground as
it is possible after a rain to prevent
the formation of a crust. Then
shallow cultivation and lots of it
will hold the moisture which will be
! needed so much for big crops.
Good cultivation for the growing
crops is the main object now. Good
cultivation means lots of it, level
and shallow, so as to make a dust
mulch. which conserves the
moisture, protects the live growing
life roots which need the moisture
so much. Cultivate shallow.
Watch for mouldy chops. Hun
dreds of horses died at this time
last year from this cause. Balance
your accounts and see if it does not
pay to raise and save feed crops.
Let us live at home.

Suffered tt» Year? from Shin Disease.
1 suffered from a skin disease for
36 years, and about six months
ago it attacked one of my eyes and
put it out. After it was too late. 1
got a box of Hunt's Cure and- be
gan to use it. and I must say that it
is the best remedy 1 have used in
36 years, and 1 believe it will cure
any skin eruption.

Filth and the Fly.
The New York state board of
health has issued an earnest appeal
to all good citizens to "swat the fly”
and thus help to kill off what is not
only a pest, but an actual menace to
life.
After pointing outhow flies trans
mit disease of a deadly nature the
health authorities urge the need of
preventing their breeding bv pre
venting accumulation of rubbish
and dirt and specially by keeping all
garbage in carefully covered re
ceptacles.
The board of health publishes
also several trite aphorisms, culled
from various sources, among which
are these:
"Flies follow filth.”
“Fever follows flies.”
"Swatting saves sickness.”
It is better to screen the cradle
and wear a smile than scoff at the
precaution and wear mourning.
Flies in the dining room usually
precede nurses in the sick room.
Screens in the window prevents
crape on the door.
Flies as well bad water spread
typhoid.
A fly in the milk may mean a
member of the family in the grave.
A fly has natural enemies: the
most persistent and effective should
be man
It costs less to buy a screen door
than to get sick and lay off for a
month.
It's a short haul from the garbage
can to the dining table via the fly
route.
If at first you don't succeed, swat,
swat, swat again.

The Man Who Came Back.
H° owned a good farm in the
corn belt, no matter where, but he
read the literature of tne west
until he yearned to go the limit in
search of better things, so he sold
the farm and they went.
They located out there, no mat
ter where, and they found that all
that had been told them was true
-at times; not steadily and regularly
true, of course, but one would hard
ly expect that. The fact is though,
that they missed the bluegrass. tne
corn, the familiar home environ
ment. Finally he sent an emissary
and to his delight learned that he
could buy back again his old farm
at an advance of only $25 an acre
The deal was promptly made, the
the family returned. What joy it
was! To rediscover the old place
was like a little journey into the
promised land. Then they could
see now so much more in it than
they could when* they left it; th»
opportunities were so much greater
than they had dreamed.
So they settled down again with
infinite delight and content on the
farm they had left. The tour and
experience had cost fairiy dear,
true, but it was well worth it for
the content it brought, with the
new visions and ambitions.

By F. W. Scott,

Ihe Editor Your friend
The other day a cranky sort of
an old man came into this office
and stopped his paper because |
something in it did not suit his fan
cy. We have frequently met him
on the street since that time and it
is amusing to note the look on the
old fellow's face that we are still in
existence regardless of the fact
that he stopped his paper.
Some day—and it won’t be long 1
either— that old gentleman will
turn up his toes. His heart will be
stilled forever. Neighbors and
- -
frienls will follow his lifeless clay
to the silent city and lay him to
rest among the (lowers. An obitua
ry will be published in these columns
telling what a kind father, a good
| neighbor and belovn 1 citizen he
; was—which the recording angel
will overlook for charity's sake,
and in a very short time he will be
forgotten.
As he lies out there in the co’d.
cold, grave yard, wrapped in the
silent slumber of death, he w II
never know that the last kind word
spoken of him was by the editor of
this paper which in life he so spite
fully "stopped." Did you ever
pause just a rr.oment and think that
your editor, whoever he may be.
will write your obituary some day?
