Do You Need Labor?
• Do You Want a Job?
Farmers will please take notice
that if they need any more labor
than they can find they may en
roll their names with Mr. Walter
Jimerson, who is the County
Clerk of Woodruff county. La
borers who want work may also
enroll at the same place. This
arrangement will make it easier
for farmers and laborers to find
each other than has been the
case in the past.
This plan of mobilizing farm
labor was adopted by the Arkan-!
sas State Council of Agriculture.
Other States are doing similar
I work, and the United States De-i
partment of Agriculture is doing

CONSIDER THE FLY!
DO YOU KNOW WHERE FLIES COME FROM? Those were nice flies you saw at the table
this morning, weren’t they? Seemed friendly, too, and wanted to dine with you, didn’t they? Every
one of them hatched fresh from some stable, pig pen, manure pile, or open privy, within the last ten
days or two weeks.
HERE IS THE HISTORY OF THE LIFE OF THE FLY: The mother fly lays a setting of about
120 eggs in the manure pile. In about twenty-four hours they hatch out into tiny, wiggly, white
maggots. These maggots squirm around in the wet manure for four or five days and get fat; then j
they grow a shell.' Inside the shell the wings are formed, and about five days later the shell is j
thrown off and out comes a full-grown fly. Mr. Fly gets his first meal there among the filth, but I
after his wings are dry he looks around for something better. Pretty soon he finds your kitchen or!
dining room, where, after wiping his feet on your food, he proceeds to satisfy his hGnger.
Is that the sort of Gentleman you want to dine with you?
FLIES DINE EARLY AND OFTEN. They want a meal every few minutes, and they often
eat half their weight at a single meal. Furthermore, their digestive apparatus is so simple that*j
germs pass right through their bodies alive and unchanged. When flies are fed on sputum from a j
tuberculous patient, or dejecta from a typhoid patient, it has been found that the germs passed right j
through in a very short time. A well-fed fly specks 40 or 50 times in a day, and the stuff he wipes off |
his feet is ilist. nnptrv pnmnnrpri tn flip snprks
YOU NEVER SAW MANY FLY SPECKS. Ninety-five per cent of them are so watery that i
they are practically colorless and invisible. This is the principal way in which flies carry the germs1
°f typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis, hookworm and many other diseases to our food.
THE FLY’S BAD TABLE MANNERS KILLED BETWEEN 1,000 AND 2,000 ARKANSAS
BABIES LAST YEAR. (They called it teething and summer complaint.)
Shall that continue, or will you do something about it?
ARKANSAS STATE BOARD OF HEALTH,
Judge A. L. Hutchins
The Party Nominee
By a vote of 13 to 10 the State
Democratic Central Committee
declared Judge A. L. Hutchins
of Augusta, Woodruff county,
the party nominee as candidate
from the First District for dele
gate to the Constitutional Con
vention over Senator J. T.'
Robertson, of Marianna, Lee
county.
Immediately after the vote
Senator Robertson announced
that he would bow to the ruling
of the committee, although he
went into the Pulaski Chancery
Court and obtained a mandamus
to force Secretary of State Tom
J. Terral to certify his name as
a candidate to the election com
missioners of the counties in the
district.
Today Troy Pace, attorney for
Senator Robertson, will seek
to have Chancellor Martineau re
scind the mandamus against Mr.
Terral, so tMr. Robertson’s
name will not appear on the tick
ets at the general election to
name delegates to the conven
tion.
“1 am a good Democrat, ”
Senator Robertson said, “and
since the State Central Commit
tee has held that Judge Hutchins
is the winner, I don’t want my
name on the ticket, and I will
abide by the ruling.”
In his petition for a mandam
us Senator Robertson alleged
that the vote in Poinsett county
was irregular and fraudulent and
should be thrown out, and that
the primary law was violated.
Chancellor Martineau, in order
ing the Secretary of State to cer
tify Senator Robertson’s name
as a candidate, ruled that any
man who offered himself as a
candidate should be certified, re
gardless of the primary results,
and that party distinctions could
not be made in placing candi
dates on the ticket.
As all candidates in the Frst
District were Democrats, Judge
Hutchins asked the State Com
mittee to review the case. Sen
ator Robertson failed to sustain
his contentions, according to the
decision of the Committee. If
the Poinsett county vote had
been thrown out Senator Rob
ertson would have had a major
ity. Counting that county’s vote
Judge Hutchins got 2,107 and
Senator Robertson 1,998.
Judge W. J. Driver of Osceola
was the other successful candi
date from the First District.—
