the people of this state are
using Irish potatoes from Min
nesota and Colorado, tomatoes
from Virginia, onions and cab
bage from Texas, corn pro
ducts from Illinois, milk from
Washington, sweet potatoes
from Georgia, peaches and
pears from California, flour
from Kansas, bacon and lard
from Missouri and beef from
Montana.
Mr. Ferguson says that all
these can be and, to some ex
tent, are raised in Arkansas,
and that we lose millions of
dollars every year in buying
them from outside the state.

KILLED BY TRAIN

Track and is Struck by
Fast Train
Carlisle, June 9.—Clarence
Rhodes, aged 17, was killed
about 8 o’clock this morning
when his wagon and team was
struck by Rock Island passen
ger train No. 602 two blocks
west of the Carlisle station.
Both mules were instantly kiM
bcI and his wagon was demol
ished. About 50 persons
standing on the depot platform
saw the tragedy.
Rhodes, who was employed
by Tom Davis, a farmer, living
eight miles southeast of Carl
isle, came to town tjjis morn
ing on business. When he
started to cross the railroad
track, it is said he failed to see
the approaching train. He was
looking in the opposite direc
tion, according to spectators.
The train was slowing down
for the station, and was not
running more than 20 miles an
hour. Rhodes’ body was hurl
ed about 30 feet. A deep gash
was cut in his head, and he
was badly bruised about the
body. He died 10 minutes lat
er.
Irene |Castle who appears in
“The First Law” at the Royal
Thursday, June 17, has many
admirers among show goers
here. This will be her first
appearance here since her hus
band, Vemon Castle, was kill
ed in an areoplane accident at
the Kelley Aviation Field, in
Texas, during the war. “The
First Law” is a wonderful pic
ture by a great star and there
is a treat in store for those who
see it at the Royal Thursday,
June 17.
Thomas Crown Mowers 1
are made in I 1-2 and 5 foot sizes, of the very best
materials, and each machine is carefully built and is
run and fully tested before leaving the factory.
The Crown is%a heavier built machine than any
machine we know of today, but it will run lighter. _lt
has an extra heavy wheel, 1 1-2 inches across the rim.
The weight of the machine is more directly over the
axle, giving greater traction and increased cutting
force.
All gears are enclosed in a dust proof box, and
run in oil, just like the gears on an automobile. The £
double speed enables you to cut heavy or light grass
without any excessive vibration. You do not have to
make your team trot to keep a Crown cutting in hea
vy grass.
Come in and let us show you this machine, or if
you cannot come in and are interested, let us send
you a folder describing this mower.
