CONDUCTOR W. C. BRUCE SHOT.
Step'dauyhter Fires Three Shots at Him With
Revolver tine Taking Tftect.
About 7 o'clock Sunday morning
Minnie B. Bishop, the l?-year-old
stepdaughter of Conductor W. G.
Bruce of Felsenthal, who has
charge of the work train filling in
the long tresSle at that point, fired
three shots at him at their home,
one taking effect in the liver.
According to Bruce's story
breakfast was not ready when it
was time for him to go to work and
he intended to eat after making his
first trip, but when it was not
ready then an argument arose and
the shooting followed.
Dr. F. O. Mahony was hurriedly
called and upon examination of the
wound he decided it was advisable
to remove Mr. Bruce to the rail-I
way hospital at Monroe which was'
done, a special train leaving Fel
senthal about 10 o clock Sunday'
morning.
Deputy Sheriff T. F. Ashcroft'
placed Mrs. Bruce and her daught
er under arrest and carried them
to El Dorado Monday morning
and placed them in jail. They will
be given a prelimenery hearing in
the next few days.
According to report concerning
Mr. Bruce’s condition Wednesday
afternoon he was resting nicely ;
and had very favorable chances of'
recovery.

Nearly every man is all right in
his way. but too often it's in the
wrong way.
Life is not so short but that there
is always time enough for courte
sies, - Emerson.
Don't wait for the time to come
when you need friends to make |
them. Make them now and let!
them use you first.
Do not always say what you
know, but always know what you
say.
People like to be taken for what \
they think they are worth, except
when the tax assessor visits them
“No one can rise who slights his
work.”
A man who succeeds through
his ability to use the brains of oth
er people deserves success.
Life is a school in which human
ity constitutes the student body;

Life is a mirror. Try smilling at

The Farm Dairy.
Ten thousand farm dairymen are
needed in Arkansas. Not exclu
sive dairymen, out average farm
ers who would keep from five to
ten cows more than enough to fur
nish the family supply of milk and
butter.
With five extra cows the aver
age farmer should be able to add
at least $200 a year clear profit to
his farm income from the sale of
cream and the pork raised on the
skim milk. In addition to this he
would be continually ■ adding ferti
1 lizer to his soil, instead of selling it
off at such a rapid rate with the
crops he sells.
Ten thousand such dairymen
would not have a surplus to spare
after supplying the cities ar d
towns of Arkansas. Yet the home
demand is but a mere fraction of
| the countrywide and worldwide de
mand. Take the Southern States
| as an example. There are 50
cities in the South which annually
consume 23.000.000 pounds of
creamery butter. Yet the 13
states in which these 50 cities a e
located produce annually, all-told,
only 890.000 pounds of creamery
butter. The balance comes from
the dairy states of the North.
Let the Arkansas farmer awaken
to an understanding of his oppor
tunities. He can distance the H i
nois. Wisconsis or Michigan dairy
man miles in putting his dairy pro
ducts into these markets. He h s
a big advantage over the North
erner in climatic conditions and a
still bigger- advantage in cheap pro
duction of feed for cows.
The market does not have to be
created. It is already here right
at the shipping station. The
creameries will buy every gallon of
the cream at the shipping station
and pay the highest market price
for it. There are no more risks in
selling cream than in selling cotton
It is neither necessary nor advis
able to purchase expensive cows to
begin $ith. Some of the best dai
ry cows in the country are grades
—commonly called scrubs. A
man can start with good scrub
cows and soon breed th° impure
blood out of his herd by the use of
pure bred males.
We need a small dairy associa
tion cf farmers in every communi
ty in Arkansas. The members cf
such an association could pool th ir
small offerings at the shipping sti
tion and make quite respectable'
shipments. These associations
could buy cows at reduced prices:
and by purchasing purebred males1
for use by their members code
soon build up fine dairy herds.
