DIPPING HIE TICK.
farmers of Union County Should Be Build*
ing More Vats.
The last legislature set out thir
ty-three counties in a tick eradica
tion district to be handled
systematically as rapidly as possi
ble. The University and Federal
extension service has a specialist
in tick eradication, W. A. Denman,
office in the old sta>,e house, Little
Rock, with a limited territory of
twelve counties in the southwest
etn part of the state, some withir
and some without the “tick eradi
cation district.” Mr. Denman will
help farmers in all twelve counties
to construct vats and later v/ill as
sist, if desired, in the first dipping
of cattle.
On last Monday Mr. Denmar
visited Arkadelphia. not in the legai
tick eradication district, and dis
cussed with several business men
As a recult J. S. Cargile agreed to
lurr.'..h the solution for twenty
five dipping va*s if the farmers
would build that many. The Ar
kansas Lumber and Supply Co
agreed to sell the cement at cost
and the county demonstration
agent will assist farmers in organ
izating and later Mr. Denman will
supervise the building of two or
three vats in different parts of the
county.
In Columbia county J. L. and D.
M. Davis will furnish cement at
cost. In Hempstead county there
will be from twenty-five to thirty
vats constrcted. Mr. Denman will
build two vats this week near
Ashdown and also near Emerson.
His work has been restricted by
Dean Miller to the following twelve
counties: Union. Columbia. La
fayette, Miller, Little River, Hemp
stead, Nevada, Ouachita, Clark,
Pike, Howard and Sevier.
In some of the other counties,
merchants and others interested
in this work have furnished the ce
ment for vat construction to the
farmers at cost.
The dipping vats are constructed
by the people as there are no pub
lic funds available for this purpose.
The United States Bureau of
Animal Industry is cooperating in
this work and employees of that
bureau will assist in any wav possi
ble.
The bureau forces are working
under the direction of Dr. A. E.
V/ight, 312 Gazette Building, Lit
tle Rock, and any inquiries re
ferred to him, relative to tick erad
ication work in any part of the
state will be given prompt atten
tion.
Dr. R. M. Gow, state veterina
rian, Little Rock, has direction of
all tick eradication work in the
state outside of the territory lying
north and east of White river, and
he is always ready to assist in any
way possible. Recently he an
nounced that beginning April 1,
this year, the state will furnish
chemicals for the dipping solution
in the northwestern Arkansas tick
eradication district provided the
vats are open for public use. This
includes the entire thirty-three
counties placed in this district by
the action of the last legislatufe.

Mrs. J. N. Ores Dead.
Olena P.. beloved wife of J. H.1
Dees, died at their home in Felsen- j
thal at 7:20 o'clock. Friday eye
ning, February 18, 1916. of
apoplexy, aged 61 years and 1 j
month. She was born January 1 8. |
1855, in Calhoun county, Ala., and i
moved to Lafayette county. Ark . j
with her parents in 1859. and to i
!
relsenthal about the time the town j
was started. The deceased pro
fessed religion at the age of 15
years and joined the Methodist
church of which she was a member j
until about fifteen years ago when j
she united with the Missionary
Baptist church and was a mem
ber of that church at the time of
her death.
She leaves a husband and five I
children to mourn her death as
follows: Mrs. J. H Stubbs and Mrs.
H. G. Chapman of Pickering. La.;
Mrs. R. L. Stubbs of Carson. La.;

John \. Cobb for Sheriff.
i The News this week carries the
announcement of John A. Cobb,
who is a candidate for Sheriff and
ex-Offfcio Collector of Union coun
ty. subject to the action of the
voters at the primary election j
March 29.
Mr. Cobb is well known to the I
people of Union county, and needs:
no special commenda'ion at ourj
hands. He is now serving as dep
uty under Sheriff J. M. Wallace.'
I and his official duties have carried
i him frequently to every part of the
county, and as the people have
j come to know him better, they
| have learned to admire his sterling
! qualities, both as an officer and as
a man. His natural gift and the
experience gained as deputy well
fits him to perform the duties of
the office in such a way as would
gain additional friends, and make
those who were his supporters
glad that they voted for him. He
is a nice popular gentleman, a tried
and true Democrat, and possesses
the courage and cool judgment so
necessary in a man filling this re
sponsible position.
Mr. Cobb made the race for this
office eight years ago, and. all
though he met defeat, he received
a very handsome vote. Since that
time the Deople have had a chance
to learn of his ability and the j
prompt and courteous way in I
which he transacts official busi
ness, and he will no doubt number |
many new supporters in his pres
ent race.
It is his intention, should he re
ceive the nomination and election,
to purchase a pair of the best blood
hounds obtainable in this country,
with which to track down crimi
nals. It often happens that this is
the only way in which evidence
can be secured in some cases, and
they would be a great help in fer
reting out crimes and would act as
a deterrent in many cases against
a commission of crime.
Remember the candidacy of
John A. Cobb. He is a good man
for Sheriff and Collector of Union
county. |
Important Matter.
Monday night the town council
took a very important step in the
matter of better sanitary condhions
of the town. They fully author
ized the board of health to report
any violations of the town code or
sanitation. They suggested the
organization of a Civic League fo
publicity purposes to create senti
ment for sanitation.
The matter will soon be taken ui.
in a difinite way by the board o'
health and the public will be in
formed. in the meantime, you an
advised to look after your premiser
to see that they are clean. Th'
mayor appointed three new mem
bers to the board of health. Prof
A. J. Dowis. orincipal of schor l,
and two pastors. Rev. S. K. Bur
nett and the writer. The mayc
ask me to write the matter up.
Watch the columns of the Huttig
News for information and details
of the work, for a vigorous effort j
will be made in this matter. While
the city administration does not
wish embarrass any one. but firm
ness will be exercised and the lav.
enforced.
MORAL: Clean up and keep
clean. J. F. Johnston.

The Gospel of Cheer.
Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself the world is not interest
ed in them.
Learn to stop croaking if you
can't see any good in the world, j
keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your pains and
aches under pleasant smiles no
one cares whether you hays head
ache, earache or rheumatism, '
Don't cry. tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real life.
Learn to live your life and let
others live their this would be a
dull world for you if everyone lived
as you wanted him. Don't bother
others when you wish to work, be
cause you are a loafer don't try to
force others to become so.
If you see others doing what you
ihink is sinful don't condemn
them -you may he wrong yourself, j
If you want to reform others try
educate them when you resort to
the law, the chances are you’ll
make law breakers of them.

IT'S THE
BUYING POWER
B.jck of This Store
That Makes It's
Values Possible.

sure to find our prices to represent an absolute savin; to you.
Is it not reasonable to suppose, that by buying in large
quantities for our three stores, that we can secure price reduc
ti. ns which the small dealer cannot possibly obtain? And in
addition we are able to save about 20 per cent in freight
charges by buying in solid car load lots. Also we have no
rent to pay. as we own our building. One customer told us the
other day. that he saved $32 00 on a purchase of $211.00.
We can. and will do the same for you. Write us about your
wants. Tell frankly just the pieces wanted, finish desired, etc.
and we will send you cuts and prices for your approval.
You will alwavs find quality considered, that you can buy
* better merchandise here, and always with the guarantee that
