TWO GOOD ROADS DAYS

Everybody to Help on Po.?ds.
Gov. Geo. W. Hays who is a. good
roads enthusiast has issued a proc
lamation calling upon all business
metj, farmers and others to join
together on these days and work a
road across the country, or several
in a township, so as to get them in
good condition before the fall rains
begin.
1 have a hobby.” announced
the governor, “it is good roads. 1
believe that I traveled over enough
of them in my campaign to know a
good road from a bad road, and I
_now want good roads everywhere
in Arkansas. Nothing will build
the state more rapidly than good
roads.
“Arkansas will this year have
the greatest crop in her history.
We must get together and build
good roads which will stand the
strain of the heavy traffic, which
will be necessary to get the crop to
market* If the roads are shaped
up properly in the early fall there
will be little trouble with them1
during the balance of the year.
"If each county will join with the j
county next to it and string the;
workmen out it will be possible to!
build a number of excellent high
ways in different directions across
the state in two days set aside
as Good Road Days."
On August 20 and 21 in Missouri;
it was estimated that 250.000 busi- I
ness men and farmers forsook their]
business and their farms and went
to the highways to give their work
that Missouri might receive impetus
to become one of the leading good
roads states of the Union and the
same thing should happen in Ark
ansas.
A movement is on foot among
some of our residents to devote
these two days on the road be-!
tween Huttig and Felsentha! which
is in a bad condition and we trust
they will succeed in securing all
the assistance necessary to put it
in fine shape and that others will
become interested enough to work
the other road leading into town
so that all will be in good condition
for the winter.
Turnout yourself and get your
neighbor to do likewise as it is a
noble work.
I heantily approve.and endorse
Gov. Hays’ Proclamation, and as
good roads are of the utmost im
portance to the people. I hope, in
this county, they will, as far as pos
ible, comply with said proclamation
by devotmg the days set apart
therein as Good Roads Days, in im
proving the roads throughout the
county, in such a way as may seem
best to them, in their respective
loca’ities.
1 would suggest that the Road
Overseers of the county do all pos
sible to assist the people in their
respective townships in improving
the Public Roads on the 3rd and
4th days of next month.
Your obedient servant,
W. M. Vanhook,
County Judge,
Union County, Ark.

The Main Points for Farmers
Since 1 have been your com nis
sioner, I have tried to have some
thing of value and interest to say
to the people in each weekly letter
In each one there has been one
main point. I now want to empha"
sizsscmj of the main points. I
*
want you to remember them, and
some of you try them out.
The farmers of Arkansas should
plant less than half as much cotton
next year as this. If you don’t re
duce your cotton crop, you can't
raise enough other crops to make
you a successful farmer. So
arrange your crops so that you will
not have to buy d single thing that
is produced on the farm except
sugar. Abandon cotton altogether
as soon as possible. Other crops
pay better. Arkansas is a great
alfalfa state. It will grow on al
most any kind of soil. Study al
falfa and grow it. It is the foun
dation of •'uccessful stock raising.
It is a money maker without stock,
it will grow three to four tons to
the acre, and two dollars a ton will
pay for the cutting. You know
what it is worth. Figure for your
self, and you will see that it will
beat a cotton crop too bad to talk
about. Then plant plenty of corn.
You need corn to go with alfalfa.
The two make a good balanced
ration for horses, cattle and hogs.
Now is the time to prepare your
land for alfalfa. Sow it any time
you like between now and October!
the 1 5th.
Sow some burr clover or winter!
vetch for a winter pasture for hogs |
and cattle. Either one will payi
better than any crop you h?d this |
summer if you have the stock to j
pasture. Give attention to good i
cattle and hogs at once. Get some
good males and cross them with
the grades and scrubs. It don’t
take long for good blood to tell.
Remember that hogs and cattle
are the surest and best money on
the farm.now. There is not enough
live stock in the United States to
furnish a supply for the inhabitants
for six months. If you had your
proportionate per capita amount of
the fresh meat supply in Arkansas,
after all the hogs and cattle were
butchered, you would have about
180 pounds, so you see the high
price of live stock has come to
stay. The number of cattle and
hogs has been decreasing for
several years. The number of
people the meat eaters having
been increasing. Anybody knows
that means high prices for stock
Get in the game and get your share
of the profits. Help feed the nation.
They must have it and will pay for
it.
Make pastures and grow hay,
corn gathering time will soon be
here. Some have topped the corn,
and some have gathered fodder.
Either way is a mistake. The
corn will lose more weight in ma
turing than the forage is worth.
If you planted peas in your corn
and have cattle and hogs to fatten,
you may turn the stock on the crop
at gathering time and feed it down.
The hogs will eat the peas and
waste the corn. The cattle will
eat both. There will be less waste
this way than to gather and feed.
Try it once and you will like it.
Of course you will have to pen your
stock at the finish to put them in
the best condition. Prepare 10
save the barn yard manure this fall
and winter. Make some pens and
cover them for the purpose. It
pays big. Yours truly,
John H. Page.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
So Many People Die of blood poison.
A little scratch on the hand a
splinter, or a small abrasion of the
skin is often fatal because the
poisonous germs start the infection.
Thats where Hunt's Lightning Oil
comes in handy as an application
on the abraison, kills all germs
which may have lodged there,
thereby preventing infection and
death. It pays to keep this remedy
in the home, especially where there
are children. All drug stores in

All of the railroads of the West
have joined in a request on the
Post Office Department for an in
crease in pay for handling parcel
post. During the first six months
of parcel post the Government re
ceived over eleyen and a quarter
millions of dollars in revenue for
this class of mail matter, but did
net pav the railroads one dollar for
handling the service. Commenc
ing July 1st the Government has
been allowing the railioads a five
per cent increase in their postal
pa.y to reimburse them for the par
cel post s°rvice, although the
sworn testimony of the Post Office
Department before the United
Slates Senate Committee shows
that auring the first six months the
parcel post amounted to at least
9.16 per cent of the post office in
crease, or nearly double the allow
ance made by the railroads.
Under the extension of the par- j
cel post system inaugurated Aug- i
ust 15 the size of package per- j
mitted is increased from 1 1 pounds j
to 20 pounds, and the milage has'
been increased and the rates great-1
ly reduced, so that it is estimated j
that the parcel post business will
increase several fold. The railroads
in the telegram respectfully re
quests that they be allowed more
that the five per cent increase
allotted them, especially as the
parcel post system deprives them
of the revenue they formerly re
ceived from the same business
when it was carried as express or!
freight.

We are authoriz ed this week to
announce the name of Hon. R. S.
Warnock of Magnolia. Columbia
county, as a candidate for ropre
sentative in congress from th
Seventh Congressional District.
Mr. Warnock is possessed of those
charactistics which make great
men, having been reared on a farm
and forced to work for his educa
tion and fight his way to the top of
the ladder of success in the busi
ness world both of which he has
succeeded in doing. He was el
ected from his county as repre
sentative in the state legislature in
1 909 and again in 1911 each time
leading the ticket by a good vote,
in the legislature he was a hard
worker and stood for every measure
that meant progress, and was the
author of several good acts that
became laws.
He expects to make a close can
vass of the district before the
primary and acquaint the people
with his platform which will be
along progressive lines, clear and
emphatic; evading nothing but
tellmg the people exact!'- where he
stands on every issue of imoort
ance. He was the presidential
elector from this district in I 908
and canvassed thed strict for the
Democratic ticket that year. He
is a pub'ic spirited citizen, an able
speaker, a profound thinker, in fact
a gentlemen qualified in every way
to make a representative in con
gress that the people could point
to with pride.

NON. It. S. WARNOCK MAKFS FORMAL
| ANNOUNCFMFNT FOR CONGRESS
Hon. R S. Warnock s formal announcement for Congress from the
Seventh Congressional District appears elsewhere in today’s News.
In regard to Mr. Warnock’s candidacy we wish to say that he is in
v^ry way qualified to fill this important position. No one who knows
nim will have the Hast doubt of this. For ourselves we feel that he is
rxtra peculiary fitted for this great work.
Starting at the very bottom round of the ladder, he has, step by step,
in spite of eyery adversity, steadily forged the front in political and
commercial life, by reason of his force of character, natural ability and
persistent stu Jy; applying himself closely for manv years, especially on
st. te and national afiairs, until now he perhaps stands second to none
m statecraft.
He is no follower of sentiment but a moulder of, and a natural origi
nator, of logical ideas and of the very highest charater of states
manship.
He is every inch a self made man, growing up and coming through
all the vicis>itudes of real rural life, without any of the luxuries and op
portunities given m ny other boys.
Starting out for himsely at seventeen, he worked for ten dollars a
month and went to school alternately until a fair English education was
secured. Then buying land on credit he soon became one of Columbia
county s most successful farmers. Later on, moving to Magnolia, he
at once took first rank among the older business men of the town, and
always in the forefront when it caTne to progressive movements.
Then again, to his everlasting credit be it said, he always has time to
stop a^d sympathize with and assist the needy.
While f)p is a member of no church, however he was reared in the
faith of the Prim Live Baptist, all his people being either Primitive or
Missionary Baptist. Naturally of course he leans perhaps in this direc
tion. yet his wife being a good Methodist he has the kindiest feeling and
the highest regard for that denomination also.
OFFICIAL LIFE
While his official life up to date has been brief, yet he has accomplish
ed more than many men have in a life time.
In 1904 the county court selected him as a suitable person to act in
the capacity of courthouse commissioner, and after the courthouse was
completed, general praise fell to him on its magnificence, the wonder
being how it could be possib'e for such a magnificent building to be con
stucted with so little money, Hssthan $30,030, and pronounce 1 by visi
i tors to be the best in the state.
wis made delegata to the Democratic National Convention in J904;
was Presidential Elector on the Bryan and Kern ticket in 1908. and
stumped the entire district at his own expense in behalf of the candidates
and tiie Democratic party.
He was elected to represent this county in the legislature of 1909
and 19' I by the hugest nnjoiilids ever given any candidate foi tins
position.
His stand in the legislative halls was always on the right sid j for the
great masses ot the common people.
Following are few of the bids that passed the House but failed in the
Senate, as it, is said U at most good bills fail in the Senate:
A bill providing protection for our state lands, permitting
no one to purchase more than 160 acres.
A bill protecting the people's land sold at delinquent land
sal s.
An amendment to the constitution encouraging the man
ufacture of cotton in Arkansas.
Being chairman of the Penitentiary Commit'ec he intro
duced the fitst bill changing the management of the
Penitentiary Board from a political to a business on a.
A bill creating a state finance board for the bettor hand
ling of our state finances.
A bill providing for the unfortunate families of convicts,
giving to them all the proceeds of tho convicts' labor
other than expenses, holding that the state should not,
speculate on the labor of these unfortunates.
At the 1911 session was made chairman of the Qomuut-.
tee on Charitable Institutions, carrying greater appro
priations than any other part of the state’s government,
yet when Mr Wantock figured the needs of these insti
tutions (he himself introducing the bills) and when it
was found by the governor that all the appropriations ir>
the aggregate were so recklessly made by the different,
committees he placed the veto cutting down nearly a,
million dollais. though th<! chnritahle institution appro
priations was not cut a single dollar.
His Guaranty Bank Bill is still fresh in tho minds of the people all
over the state. In this groat battle lor the interest oi the people, civ- „
ering several years, was shown his real ability, standing single-handed,
giving lick for lick, almost at victory's door several times against the
great strong arm of the Bankers’Association, and with almost eveiyr
banker in the state pTled against him in this battle.
He intends now to carry this measure before the peoplo at the next
election, having already prepared a guaranty amendment to the present
bill, which will cost but little to initiate. Hois no quitter; tho steam
roller his had only the effect to^lart him out anew agiin.
Mr. Warnock is the author of our present State Depository Law and
under its present operations the stale is now receiving from 3 to 7 per
cent on all funds net b"ing used, su ,h as the stale capital fund, amount
ing in all to several hundred thousand dollars. I his bill, too, was op
posed by the Bankers’ Assoc.atien. and especially the L ttle Rock bank
ers, but Mr. Warnock won out over their head., in spitj of their gi ..-.t,
influence. s
Besides the above work for the state Mr. Warnock had passed for
this county a depository law. on account of which our county funds to
day are well secured and d; awing 6'y per cent interest. Of course
this bill did not suit all tho bankers of the county but we got the law
just the same and our people are benefited to the amount of $9,000 a.
year thereby.
Now that these same financial questions arc becoming the paramount
; issues in Congress, do you not think that a man who has accomplished
! so much in so short a time for this county and stale would be a most
suitable and invaluable man to send to represent us just at this
i time. Try him and our word for it he will not stay there for four long
i years before they find he is there.
Concluding we wish to add that we do not believe it possible for any
man ( no m itter how good his intentions might bo) to have the heart
felt sympathy and understand the wants and needs of our gieat com
mon people unless he himself has come from and been one of them. A
true saying, you can take the bov out of the country but you can never
take the country out of the boy. adv.
