CELEBRATES HIS
67TH BIRTHDAY
The ‘29th of September was
an important event in the life
of Uncle Bill Owens, when
children, grand-children and
friends gathered at his home to
have a good time on his (J7th
birthday.When an event of this
kind starts, there are always
plenty to finish up and make
the day a pleasant one. Every
one enjoyed the dinner and ttw
best evidence of the ladies abil
ity to prepare good eats was
the manner in which we stored
it away. I cannot conceive of a
better method of bringing
country people into closer and
more cordial relation than
birthday dinners. Old folks
chatted of “old times,” the
young sang songs and this
proved to be a very happy ar
rangement as the visitors were
grouped in congenial company
and the crowd somewhat even
ly divided joined in the singing.
“Uncle Bill” as he is familiarly
called by his friends, as well as
relatives, has lived here all of
his life and is a member of one
of the largest and best known
families in the county. We wish
for him many more birthdays
of enjoyment.

OLDFIELD GOES
TO NEW YORK
Washington. Oct. 4.—Con
gressman Oldfield left tonight
for New York, where he will
spend four or five days at na
tional Democratic headquart

taking some splendid reports
just received by the Democrat
ic Congressional Committee
from some of the big doubtful
states of the Middle West, and
particularly from Ohio.
THE SOBER MAN
e 90999e069«
This is the day of the sober
man. The man who leads a
clean, honest, temperate life
may not be brilliant, but he
stands a better chance of suc
ceeding than his more accom
plished brother who burns his
brain with drink.
There may be some who will
point to the great men of the
past, the Poes, the Websters,
Clays and other brilliant prodi
gies of intellect. Their argu- |
ment will not stand against the
proof of time. i
It is the sober man who suc
ceeds in this world. He may not
make the spectacular display ]
of his more emotional brother
stimulated with alcohol, but.
like the turtle in his famous
race with the hare, in the end
he reaches the given goal. ]
In every walk of life sobriety
counts. There have been men of
genius who have startled the '
world with their wonderful
achievements. This much they j
have obtained, how much they
might have obtained had they
not stultified themselves with 1
drink they nor the world will
never know. Men of practical ,
business have found after years
of experience that it is better
and safer to employ men
who are sober and who cometo
their work with clear heads
than to have experts who can
not be relied upon.
There are poor, deluded men
who think that they can dissi
pate all night and come to their
work the next morning. They
probably can, but the lack of
deep imposes nature’s penalty.
Their wits are dulled. Their '
ability is handicapped. They
are not fit for the duties before 1
them, and *hey are not the on- ,
ly ones who know this. Their (
fellow workers quickly appre
ciate their rundown condition,
and instead of a feeling of pity 1
usually they have a feeling of ;
disgust, because they too well ,
know the cause. ,
Of course the keen employer
appreciates a man of brilliancy. *
He values his services highly, 1
but when he must accept the 1
services of such a man condi
tionally, when he sees him ,
stagger from the path of his
duty, he loses the respect that
his brilliancy created.
The plodder may lack native :
ability. He substitutes patience, '
sobriety and willingness to do
his best.
There can be little question
of choice between the two. One
is a safe investment to the busi
ness man. He may not pay as
well, but the pay is sure and
certain.With the other it is not.
One thing has been conclusive
ly demonstrated: No man can
drink and do good work at the
same time. He must either not
permit drink to interfere with
his business or he must not per
mit his business to interfere
with his drinking. It is a ques
tion of choice and he alone
must decide.—Commercial Ap
peal.
For Sale.—Four acres of
land and good four room house
in north part of town. Splendid
young orchrad. Will take first
payment in young stock and
make easy terms on balance.

After Four Tears of Discouraging

' i <
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter 1
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: *‘J suffered for four 1
years, with womanly troubles, and during <
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little 1
while, and could not walk anywhere at !
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains !
In my left side. i
The doctor was called in, and his treat- '
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was 1
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
^ardui, the woman's tonic, and I com
nenced taking it. From the very first
lose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
an now walk two miles without its
iring me, and am doing ail my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
roubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
'ardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
nore than a million women, in its 50
ears of continuous success, and should
urely help you, too. Your druggist has
iold Cardirf for years. He knows what
t will do. Ask him. He will recom
nend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

CHICKEN LAW IS
UPHELD BY COURT
The Supreme court Monday
held that cities have the power
to enact ordinances declaring
the running at large of fowls
to be a nuisance. The case
came to the Supreme court on
appeal from Van Buren, Craw
ford county. Harry Merril
owned and kept large numbers
of chickens and ducks, and on
complaint of his neighbors that
he was allowing the fowls to
run at large in violation of a
city ordinance, he was arrest
ed and fined $5. The main
question was whether cities
have the power to enact such
ordinances, declaring the run
ning at large of fowls to be a
nuisance, and the Supreme
court held that they have.

MARKET CORN ON HOOF
The best market for corn is
in the Arkansas stables and
feed lots. Don’t sell corn, but
buy pigs or calves and feed the
corn and save the fertility in
stead of giving it away. Corn
and meat meal with rape or
clover or Bermuda for pasture
will make pig feeding profit
able. Let us stop forever the
practice of selling corn except
on the hoof and thus stop the
habit of buying northern meat.
START SCHOOLS EARLY
The best crop in Arkansas is
our crop of boys and girls. We
wonder if the fathers and
mothers are always careful to
give these boys and girls a real
square deal in the matter of
schools. In too many cases the
schools seem to be in session
only when the boys and girls
can do nothing else. The best
inheritance the farmers of Ar
kansas can leave their children
is a good education. Now that
the cotton is being picked out
early the rural schools should
be started early and then the
tax term should be lengthened
by a “fee” term. Every country
child should have six months of
schooling each year at the very
least.
WASTE PLACES
On too many farms in Ark
ansas there are ugly waste
places that could grow a great
volume of food for family or
feed for livestock. These places
are now overgrown with weeds
and detract from the selling
value of the farm. Why not
plow these places now and
sow to rye or oats or raf>e for
pasture for chickens or pigs or
cows or horses. Why not study
to utilize these waste places by
moving fences and throwing
them into fields or fencing
them for patches of cowpeas,
soybeans, rape and etc. for the
pigs. The average farm of for
ty acres in Arkansas could
grow enough feed on the waste
places for a cow and a dozen
pigs.
GOOD AND RAD IN
VESTMENTS
Thousands of Arkansas far
mers will be out of debt this
fall with money ahead for the
first time in their lives. "Then
what? Unfortunately many
families will be in such need oi
better housing and better
clothes that much of the sur
plus cotton money will have tc
go for these purposes. It is hop
ed that every cotton farmerhas
already opened a bank account
with the proceeds of his first
sale, paid debts by creeks and
and that he will keep his sur
plus in the bank.But then what
with the surplus? What are
good investments? The good
investments may include pure
bred sows, better cows, calves
where there is enough feed,one
or more mares, if needed next
spring, better tools and farm
machinery, if needed next
spring, rye for winter pasture
and last but not least, land foi
the renter and more land for
the small farmer. There are
thousands of farmers on forty
acres who have ability to
handle one hundred and sixty
acres. Land is cheap in Arkan
sas and the men who have
no land and the men who have
small farms should consider
this matter of larger farms. Ar
kansas has too many small
farms and too many large plan
tations. Thoughtful bankers
and other business men can
well afford to look about and
help many progressive farmers
into larger land ownership.
BREEDING SEASONS
Arkansas farmers who are
intending to get into the busi
ness of growing good live
stock should grasp one of the
first lessons—that of having
regular breeding seasons for
hogs, cattle and horses. Good
hog breeders in Arkansas want
nigs to be farrowed somewhere
between February 20 and
March 20 when two litters per
vear are desired, trom Septem
ber 20 and October 20. Farm
ers should breed dairy cows to

CARLOAD OF COTTON
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Jonesboro, Oct. 2.—A car
load of cotton, consisting of 35
bales, was destroyed by fire at
Lake City today, due to sparks
from a passing engine. The cot
ton had been loaded at one of
the gins and a bill of lading
signed. The loss will be very
heavy, the exact amount, how
ever, not obtainable.
THE IMMEDIATE SALE
Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOMPHLISHES
It an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As I)r.
Johnson puts it, we must keep.our friendships in const
ant repair.”
It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes ha tells them of special op
portunities he has created through which they may
save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
ot “special sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
have accumulated.
But the store’s advertising does more than to ac
complish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. 1 he slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. The man or the woman who may have de
cided that, tor some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant—and more important than the immediate sale.
