ARKANSAS US II
LUMBER SUITE
About One Hundred Kind of
Trees Grow in State--Not
All Used, However.
FOUR FIFTHS TIMBER LAND
Quantity Produced by Arkansas Is
Exceeded Only by Two Other
Producers.
Western Newspaper Union ttews Nervine.
Little Rock. — Arkansas contains
about 34,000,000 acres of land and
half a million acres of water. Four
fifths of the land is covered with for
ests or woods of some sort, and one
fifth is in farms. The woodlands
grade from tracts heavily timbered
with valuable species down to those
containing little more than brush.
Lumbering began in the state on a
small scale a century ago, and cutting
has gone on ever since. Systematic
lumbering in Arkansas, however,* is
comparatively recent, and the state
is one of the richest in timber resour
ces. About one hundred kinds of trees
grow here, but some of them are not
now put to use, because they are too
small or too scarce. Aboift sixty
kinds cut and sold, but not more
than half are commonly distinguish
ed as separate species in the regions
where they are cut. •
The principal growth of shortleaf
pine is in the southwestern part of the
state; loblolly is found in the valleys
of the Ouachita and Little Missouri
rivers; cypress along the White, Red,
Ouachita, Salinp, and Arkansas riv
ers; longleaf pine near the Louisiana
and Texas borders; while the hard
woods grow in all parts of the state,
but in largest quantities in the north
ern portions.
The total annual (train upon the
forests of Arkansas is not much, if
any, short of 5,000,000,000 board feet.
Latest returns credit the state with a
lumber output of 2,111,300,000 feet,;
cooperage, lath, veneer, shingles, etc.,
11 4,312,000 feet, firewood, 2,581,674,000
feet; the crossties, poles, crossartns
and wood distillation unknown. The
enormous quantity of forest material
annually supplied by Arkansas Is not
exceeded by that of more than two
or three states.
Mori* than ninety-one per cent of the
wood manufactured into finished com
modities in Arkansas is grown in the
state. Practically none would come in
from the outside except for the fact
that forested regions lie near the bor
ders and seek their most convenient
markets across the line. The state
produces more than enough wood to
supply all its industries; and, except
four or five species, it grows all the
kinds needed.
Nearly 1,400,000,000 feet of wood
which yearly josses through Arkansas
factories is apportioned among the
fifteen industries represented in the
state.
Hope. Prof. G. W. Howard, gov
ernment agricultural demonstrator for
Hempstead county, returned from a
tour of the southern half of the coun
ty, Prof. Howard reports very fiatter
: ing prospects for crops of all kinds,
though everything is late. The rain
fall recently is reported as the heavi
est for many years. In some places
great damage was done to the farm
lands by washing. The heavy rain
covered the territory from Hope to
Stamps, a distance of 20 miles. All
the small streams were out of their
hanks.
Tampered With Money Order.
Helena.—Charles Fitzhugh, arrested
at Gild, Hoe county, on the charge of
manipulation of the United States
money order, was given a hearing and
held to the federal grand jury, which
convenes at Little Rock in October
next. Fitzhugh made a complete con
fession of his alleged act, in which he
tampered with a money order, design
ed for one William Webb, in the sum
of three dollars.
Beelie.—B. W. Harlow of Burton,
Kan., has purchased the White County
News from T. M. Woods and will take
charge of the paper next week. Mr.
Woods has been in the newspaper
business in Beebe for 18 years and
is well known in Arkansas.
Fort Smith.—The fund being col
lected for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the McCurtain, Okla., mine
disaster reached $37,697, according to
the bulletin issued by Maj. C. R.
Breckenridge, chairman of the com
mittee having the work in charge,
the small streams were out of their
banks.
Fort Smith.—An unidentifed white

Rochester, N. Y. — “I have a daugh
ter 13 years old who has always been
very healthy until recently when she
complained of dizziness and cramps every
month, so bad that I would have to keep
her home from school and put her to bed
to get relief.
“After giving her only two bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound she is now enjoying the best of
health. I cannot praise your Compound
too highly. I want every good mother
to read what your medicine has done for
my child.”—Mrs. Richard N. Dunham,

Stoutsville, Ohio. —“ I suffered from
headaches, backache and was very irreg

Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com

had taken the whole
of two bottles I
found relief. I am

“I'M ONLY A LITTLE GIRL”
Failing Eyesight Responsible for an
Old Man's Mistake—Rebuke
Hardly Effective.
A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to imitate a bedlam, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of a nearby apartment house. He
was quite old, and it was evident that
his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out a
youngster who was aiding very strenu
ously in the noise making. *
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said : /
"Don't you know it's against the
lawr to make so much noise?”
"Yes. sir,” was the meek reply.
"Well, don’t you know that you'll
be arrested and put in jail, and then
you can never be president of the
United States?”
“Please, sir?” replied the child, "I
don’t care; I’m only a little girl.”—

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR
Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected sk'ai troubles—mental be
cause of disfiguration, physical be
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, Soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor complexions, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and failing hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to “Cuticura,” Dept. L, Bos
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.
Her Excuse.
"These people have a plausible and
self-righteous excuse for their mis
deeds,” said Senator Bankhead, apro
pos of certain hypocritical lawbreak
ers, In an address in Fayette.
"They remind me. In fact, of a cer
tain parson’s domineering wife. The
parson said meekly one day:
“ ‘My love, you told me before the
wedding that you knew our marriage
was made in heaven, yet you now or
der me about as If I were a slave.’
“‘Order,’ the woman calmly an
swered, ‘is heaven's first law,’ ”
One Man’* Way.
“Is Brimson a man who makes the
best of what befalls?”
“No. When things go wrong Brim
son starts to swearing and soon be

new forms of profanity that he forgets
all about his troubles.”

“Where are you thinking of going
this summer?”
“Im thinking of England, Norway,
and Scotland, but I’ll probably go to
Punk Beach.”
CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of Tuberculosis and Ot'.ier Pre
ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.
While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James W. Glover if the Uni
versify of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder of a $10,000 or
dinary whole life policy could save
about $20 a year on his premiums if
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. Tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder of from
$16.70 at twenty to $17.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 158 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber
eulosis says that the combined effort
of every man, woman and child is nec
essary to bring about a radical reduc
tion in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.
