The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. .

Arc You Like This?
It was in the postoffice and the
poor old soul had asked if there
was a letter for her.
Only a stifled sigh was heard as
she turned from the window—but
what did that sigh mean?
Some son, some daughter had
caused it. Forgetful of their
mother in her declining years is
causing her grief that no other than
herself can ever know because
none other than she can under
stand.
How many of us, married and
long absent from our parental
homes, are neglecting our aged par
ents? I hope not many.
The United States has been in
augurating “Pay Up" weeks, “Co
to Church" days, “Pay Back What
You Borrowed" days, "Bargain
Days” and many other kinds of
special days. Why not a national
“Write Mother Today” day? Can
you even imagine what that would
mean to thousands of mothers in
America, or even across the wat
ers?
What a little task it is to write a
letter! And what a world of good
some letters can do!

jta BtTTKR FARMING HI\TS. *
SWAT THE WEEDS.
The weeds on Arkansas farms
costs the farmers millions of dollars
worth of soil fertility. In Canada
they have laws against letting
many weeds go to seed. The list
of bad weeds is so great that the j
farmer to be safe has to swat every
weed before it drops its seed.
Why not form the habit of killing
the weeds before the seed ripen?
Teach the boys and girls the cost
of weeds. Do not wait until Aug
ust to cut weeds but do it now.
Weeds along the roadside or in j
waste patches may seed all the j
farms in the neighborhood. Keep;
on swatting the rooters and begin '
swatting tna weeds. Write Direc
tor Extension Service, Arkansas!
College of Agriculture and U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Fay
etteville and Little Rock for bulle
tins on weeds.
TICK ERADICATION.
The finest thing in Arkansas to
day is the fine spirit of cooperation
in the building of dipping vats and
in dipping cattle. The counties
that are not in the "eradication
district ’ are building about as many
vats as those that get the medicine
free. Now, if everybody will keep
in good humor and dip cattle regu
larly we can have the whole state
free in two years and then we will
have the greatest livestock state
in the country. Let us do this
without the aid of law enforcement.
I Let everybody do it because it will
help the neighborhood feeling.
BUY A CANNER.
Three thousand enthusiastic
Arkansas girls and a thousand farm
women are enrolled with the Ex
tension Service of the University
of Arkansas and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture this year in
canning contests. They are going
to can enough tomatoes and beans
and other things to feed a multi
tude. But why not on every farm?
This is the year of preparedness
and every farm house in the state
should have this fall a cellar full of
canned goods for the family.
Don’t think it is your duty to sup
port the town grocer by buying
from him a supply of Michigan to
matoes and peaches. Let him buy
your surplus cans of garden stuff
or trade coffee and sugar for it.
Almost everything can be canned,
tomatoes, beans, beets, strawber
ries, corn, peaches, sausage, beef,
in fact about everything that can
be grown. Make a canner of old
tubs or buy one of the three fine
canners made in the state- the
Williams Canner, H. Williams. Hot
Springs, the Warren Canner, War
ren Hdw. Co.. Warren, or the Dixie
Canner made by the Dixie Canner
Co. of Little Ruck. For bulletins
and information about canning
write Extension Service, Universi
ty of Arkansas and U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Little Rock.
CRIMSON CLOVER.
Arkansas farmers will plant more
peas, beans and peanuts in corn
this year than ever before. So'
much for enriching the corn ground
and getting feed for pigs and cows.
Next we must push for crimson;
clover in the cotton fields. Let
every farmer in Arkansas set his
mine on five or more acres of crim- !
son clover this year or at least
one-fourth of this entire cotton!
acreage. Then it will pay to sow
rye or oats in all the rest of the
cotton acres for a winter cover
crop. The Extension Service ofi
University is starting on a cam
paign for more green fields next
winter. Fifty-nine of the best
county agricultural agents in
America are working in Arkansas 1
for winter cover crops and double j
crops, peas, beans and peanuts in j
corn and rye or oats in the cotton j
and no bare fields next winter.
Write Extension Service old state
house. Little Reck, if no county
agent in your county.
