The Duncan-Mills Co. wi'l be
the first number of our Lyceum

Miss Duncan has achieved an
enviable place upon the Lyceum
platform from sheer merit and her
ability to universally please. She
has dramatic talent of high order
intensity of feeling and finesse, and
her versatility is remarkable. She
is piquant, in love witn life and
bubbling over with fun and rippling
laughter.
Miss Mills has won the happy
result of appealing both to those
who love the classical in music and
also to those who enjoy its lighter
forms, the so called popular music.
She possesses a high soprano voice
of clear, sweet tone and quality, of
wide range and admirably con
trolled. She is a pianist as well as
a singer and plays with remarkable
technique.
The program presented consists
of readings, impersonations, solos,
duets, pianologues, duologues and
sketches. This is one of the big
gest little companies on the Ameri
can platform today.

chased a season ticket for the
course of fiye numbers do so now
and save a $1 in the price.
You will miss an evening’s en
joyment if you miss this number.

Getting Rid of Ticks.
Arkansas is engaged quietly now
in a great campaign to rid its fields
and pastures of the cattle tick.
Seventeen counties are now “tick
free” and three more counties will
be made free by government in
spectors in November, and practi
cally in every remaining county in
the State farmers are interested,
are building va'.s and dipping cattle.
The Extension Division of the
University has one specialist who
is devoting his whole time to as
sisting farmers in the building of
vats and holding public meetings,
and heretofore his territory has
been the whole state. From now
on, however, this expert, W. A.
Denman, will be given special
charge of the work in twelve coun
ties in the Southwestern corner of
Arkansas including Union, Colum
bia, Lafayette, Ouachita, Nevada,
Clark, Pike, Hempstead, Howard,
Sevier, Miller and Little River.
His headquarters for the winter
will be at Little Rock in the old
state house, but practically all of
his time from now on for the next
Iwo years will be given to the work
in these twelve counties. Begin
ning on January 1 the new law for
the eradication of ticks goes into
effect and there are twenty-six
counties in that district, including
five of the twelve above named,
and that work will be under con
trol of the State Experiment Sta
tion at Fayetteville with imme
diate supervision under Dr. R. M
Gow of Little Rock. Get ticks of!
the farm and more stock on the
farm and farmers will be able tc
produce thirty bales of cotton fron
forty acres where now it take more
than sixty acres for that amount.
Altogether “Swat the tick."

Arkansas Farmers Ship Wheat.
The resu’ius of the Diversified
Farming Campaign being carried
on along the lines of the St. Louis
Iron Mountain & Southern railway
are becoming manifest as the har
vest and shipping period advances.
Already this season forty-one
cars of wheat have been received
from stations on the Arkansas.
Memphis & Valley divisions which
heretofore have shipped no wheat
and where many thought it could
not be successfully grown. In all,
about two hundred and twenty
five cars of grain have been shipped
from the cotton territory o» Arkan
sas, and mi’lers pronounce it the
equal of any for commercial milling
Four parishes along the Iron
Mountain in Northeast Louisiana
raised ower a million and a half
bushels of oats this year, and the
farmers had little difficulty in sell
ing their entire surplus for an av
erage of about 42 cents per bushel.
Twenty-seven cars of corn have
been received thus far from sta
tions on the Arkansas, Louisiana
& Valley divisions, which last year
supplied only two cars. The
United States Department of Agri
culture estimates that the 1915
corn crop in Arkansas and Louisia
na will be about 36,000.000 bush
els in excess of that produced in
1914. In view of the many re
quests the Iron Mountain agricul
tural department is receiving for
information regarding the handling
and marketing of corn. D. G. Wel
ty. Commissioner of Agriculture,
has issued a large placard on the
subject and it is being placed in ev
ery waiting room along the line in
both those states. This placard
gives valuable information as to
gathering grain, storing it on the
farm, fumigating it for weevils,
preparing it for market and grading
it. It also calls attention to the
j importance of selecting seed corn
in the field.

What Kansas Womrn Do.
Kansas is the Women’s Free
State. When women find their
status in other states is confining
their inalienable rights, let them
try the Sunflower state. Here are
some of the things women can do
legally in Kansas:
Can take back her maiden name
after her husband dies, without le
gal process or legislative act.
Can keep her own name when
she is married.
Can persuade her husband to
take her name and give up his fam
ily name, if she does not like it.
Can keep her maiden name and
her husband can keep his name.
Can retain her maiden name for
business transactions and use her
husband’s name for social affairs.
If wife does not like either her
name or her husbands, thev can
take a name that suits them better.
A woman can wear men’s cloth
ing without restrictions, except
that she must not pose as a man.
She can vote at every election.
She can hold any office in the
state and run for Congress.
In other words, a woman in Kan
sas can do anything, almost, a man
can do, and some things he can't.
Billy Sunday on Dancing.
There was a time in America
when the stately cotillon seemed to
satisfy America, but it is too slow
for the hot blood of the twentieth
century. They must have some
thing that will chase hurdles
through their veins. There is
nothing so insipid for the devotee
of the waltz as to dance a quadrille
The dance is immoral. Every
man and woman carries a breast
full of passions, the same as are
possessed by the bad. and those
passions become a tender box to
consume morals whenever brought
into contact with the temptress.
The dance is conducive to immor
ality. In the dance and on the j
ballroom floor you allow liberties to
men that you never allow else-j
where. You grant men liberties
on tne ballroom floor that if a man
other than your husband would at
tempt in your home and your hus
band would find you at it. he would
have no trouble in securing a di
vorce and if he shot the man no
jury in the world would convict
him of it.
Don’t the swing of the dance
around the corners throw men and
women in positions that are not
tolerated elsewhere?
But you say: "Can’t a fellow
dance with his own wife?" "His
who?" "His own wife?” Why
you would just as soon husk corn
all night by moonlight as dance
with your own wife. It's not your
wife you want to dance with. It’s
some other fellow’s wife or some
other fellow’s sister. You let him
hug your wife for the privilege of
hugging his. I want to see the
color of the buck's hair that dares
to put his arms abound Nell.
You say you need the exercise
of dancing. Passion is the basis
of the popularity of the dance.
Let women dance with women and
the men dance with men. Make
them dance by themselves and
women by themselves and I'll kill
the dance in a month. 1 believe
that passion is the basis of the
dance popularity today. Men
drink and gamble and they go to
race tracks and they bet- all of
this they do without wives. Why,
then, can't they dance without
their wives, or other people’s wives
if exercise is the thing they want.
The Horse.
The horse is sliding off the map,
his friends at last admit it; he'll
hang around a while, mayhap, but
soon he’ll have to quit it. For
things propelled by gasoline in
crease each day in numbers, and
Dobbin leaves his earthly scene for,
his eternal slumbers. V.'hen autos
drove him from the pave of hust
ling towns and cities, we said.
"He's found his urban grave, which
is a thousand pities; but on the
farm he'li have a p’ac.e. till farms
are frozen over: along the furrows
there he’ll chase, and till h;mself
with clover." But now, a'as, he
doesn't rank with agriculture's
factors: the farmer draws upon the
bank, and buys some big steel trac
tors; and one of these will haul six
plows, as through a field it lumbers:
the horses see it as they browse,
and know they are back numbers.
They're shipping now our foaming
steeds across the briny waters, for
Europe needs them where she
bleeds and wades around in slaugh
ter. To turn them to the butchers
loose—that plan no one indorse:
but it's about the only use that's
left, just now, for the horse.—

BACK IN 1900,
15 YEARS ago a little furniture store <vas opened at 121
North Second St., Monroe, La. Through the full fifteen years it
has progressed and prospered until today it occupies four big
floors 70 x 150, and besides commanding an enviable position in
the merchandising affairs of Monroe, it is recognized far and
wide as one of the leading furniture stores of the state.
Occupying its own building, and thus having no rent to pay,
The Monroe Furniture Go., gives its customers, of which it num
bers thousands, the very maximum value for the money in every
instance. Fifteen years experience in buying and selling furni
ture, carpets and home furnishings has taught us what our cus
tomers want and where to obtain it for them. Our furniture
goes into a majority of the HOMES of this section: it furnishes
comfort to the homo of the well to do business man or
planter, and it answers the need of the working man's cottage.
No matter what may be the size ol your pocketbook you will
find what you want and save money on it.
