Governor Brough is Silent on
the Special Session Question
Little Rock, Feb. 26.—Gov-,
ernor Brough will take no ac
tion relative to calling a special
session of the legislature to
remedy defects found by the |
Supreme Court in the bone dry
law until the court has taken
final action in the case.
Governor Brough, upon his
return to his office Monday,
found stacks of communica
tions, some for, others against,
a special session of the legisla-'
ture. Governor Brough had no
statement to make on the mat
ter.
John D. Arbuckle, attorney
general, Monday filed a motion
for a rehearing in the A- P.
Rivard case in the Supreme
Court. The case was the one,
in which the court held, in re
versing the decision of the Gar
land Circuit Court that it was
not in violation of the law to
bring liquor into the state.
Should the court refuse to
re-open the case, it is believed
the governor will call a special
session. A modified decision
prohibiting the introduction of
ilquor into the State would ob
viate the necessity of a special
session.
Supt. /. O. O. F. Home Must

year old girl an inmate of the

INCUBATOR BEATS
HENS FOR HATCHING
Better Results Obtained and
the Hatch is Secured Any
Time Desired
The Journal is in receiut of
| the following article on the use
j of the incubator, from H. R.
[stout of the Agricultural De
partment of the University of
Arkansas
Much may be said of the
merits of artificial incubation.
It may be briefly summed up
by stating that, with good eggs
from good stock and an incu
bator properly and intelligently
managed, equally good or bet
ter results can be realized than
with natural incubation. Some
of the advantages of artificial
incubation are: (1) Incubation
is absolutely regulate^ by man.
Eggs may be hatched at any
season of the year that it is
possible to secure fertile eggs;
(2) By proper use of the incu
ator the poultryman can so
regulate the temperature, mois
ture and ventilation as to se
cure uniform conditions, which
insures uniform results; (3)
The element of chance is prac
tically eliminated; (4) The in
« r* ex 1% ex. ex rt 1 S\ V \ /y
V U \.K l i
10 ujivi
111 U1V IVIIK,
run.
In getting the incubator
ready for use, if it has been
used before, the first thing to
do is to wash it out, being sure
to get all dirt out of the corn
ers. After the machine has
been cleaned out well it should
be washed with any good dis
infectant. Let the machine dry
by placing it in the sun. When
dry, start the lamp and regu
late the machine. This can be
done by following the direc
tions that come with each in
cubator. When- the tempera
ture rises to 103 and remains
there, the incubator is ready
for the eggs
There are a few points which
should be borne in mind when
putting eggs in an incubator.
Do not subject the eggs to a
sudden change. Allow the eggs
to warm up for a short time
before placing them in an incu
bator. Handle the eggs care
fully. Never use any eggs that
are abnormal in size or shape,
or that have a poor shell.
After the eggs have been
warmed up and placed in the
incubator, close the door and
do not disturb them for some
thing like twenty-four hours.
After this turn the eggs twice
a day and let them cool for
from ten to fifteen minutes.
A i- „ i _ r _ j xi
uic cnu ui ot veil uoj o inv
eggs should be tested for fer
tility. All eggs found to be in
fertile should be taken out
When the infertile egg’s have
been removed the eggs can be
turned by simply rolling them
over with the hand lying flat
on top of the eggs. On the
fourteenth day the eggs should
be tested again and all eggs
with dead germs should be tak
en out, making all the room
possible for the chicks when
they hatch. Do not disturb the
egg? after the eighteenth day
and do not open the incubator
until the hatch is complete.

PARDON FOR SLAYER
Gov- Brough, upon his re
turn from a trip to the east,
Monday pardoned Dave Long,
who was convicted of second
degree murder at the Septem

den circuit court and sentenced
to serve five years in the peni
tentiary. The petition set forth
in Long’s behalf that he was
under the influence of liquor

BALD KNOB STORE
CLOSED BY OFFICER
Federal Authorities Find W. A.
Hodges Guilty of Violating
Conservation Orders
Bald Knob. Feb. 27.—Fol
lowing many complaints from
residents of Bald Knob, that
the federal food regulations
were being disregarded by W.
A. Hodges who conducts a re
tail and jobbing business at
Bald Knob, and after Mr- Hod
ges had been warned, his store
was ordered closed yesterday
by Hamp Williams, federal
food administrator for Arkan
sas. Government authorities
who had investigated said that
they were convinced that Mr.
Hodges violated the regulations
to comply with the restrictions
on the sale of flour and sugar.
This is the first instance
where Mr. Williams has been
compelled to resort to drastic
means to enforce the law gov
erning the distribution of food.
Mr. Hodges was given his
choice of closing his store for

may see fit, or having criminal
charges referred against him.
He chose the former and sign
ed an agreement to close his
place and, when allowed to
resume business to conform to
all rules and regulations of
federal and state food adminis
trators. He was permitted to
sell two cars of fertilizer he
had ordered for farmers.
The penalty for violating the
federal regulations may be a
fine of $5,000, or a prison term
of two years or both.

Examinations this week.
The Northeast Arkanass
Contest Association meets at
Newport, April 19 and 20. Are
you going to help represent
Newark on that date?
The teachers have enrolled
in the Arkansas State Teach
ers Association and have re
ceived their Association pins.
Only nine schools of the state
were placed on the honor roll
for all of the teachers of the
school joining the Association.
Newark is one of the nine. This
shows that we have a progress
ive corps of teachers for they
are striving to make this one
of the best schools in the state.
We should help them make it
one of the best.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Bunch,
our efficient county demonstra
tion agents visited our school
Monday and made interesting
talks to the students.
During the past four years
our school has progressed rap
idly and the credit is due our
teachers. Four years ago it?1
rank in the county was low,
now it is the best, in the ennntv
and one of the best in the state.
Four years ago it contained
only ten graeds and the work
done by the students was not
recognized by the state; today
CALOMEL SALIVATES
'AND MAKES TOD SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
day’s work.
There’s no reason why a person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn’t make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick nnd nauseated to
morrow. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling great.
Vo more biliousness, constipation, slug
Isi nrss. headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
lon’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts bet
vr tli in horrible calomel your money ia
waiting for you.
; we have twelve grades and our
school is classed in “A” by the
State Department of Education
In 1916, we received 11 Vi
points from the Department,
this year we will receive 19
points. An effort was made
this year by the Superinten
dent, to get the school recog
nized by the state as a teach
ers normal, so that a person
graduating from the school
would be given a state-wide
teachers license. If the pa
trons of the school had been
interested enough to back him
up, he would have succeeded.
This is only a few of the
important things about our
school. Become a booster and
I help to add many others to the
ever increasing list.
Boost and the world boosts
with you,
Knock and you’re on the shelf,
For the world gets sick
Of the one who’ll kick,
And wishes he’d kick himself.
; Boost when the sun is shining,
i Boost when it starts to rain.
If you happen to fall,
; Don’t lie there and bawl,
j But get up and boost again.
Boost if your cause is lively
j Boost if it's dead as sin;
IT 1 , , 1
Ucime i« won
j By the one who’ll run,
So stick to your job and win!
Boost for your schools advan
tage,
Boost for the things sublime;
For the chap that s found_
On the topmost round
Is a booster every time.
