FARMER KILLS WIFE
THEN SHOOTS SELF
Their Bodies Are Found by
Owner of Farm on Which
They Were Tenants
Salem, Oct. 20.—Mr. and
M.rs. Chas. Vaughan, tenants
on the farm of B. H. Castleber
ry, three miles northwest of
here, were found dead in their
front yard today with a dooble
barreled shotgun beside their
bodies. It is believed Vaughan
fired one barrel, killing his
wife, and then killed himself
with the other. No reason is
known for the shooting.
The bodies were-discovered
by Mr. Castleberry when he
drove out to the farm on an in
spection trip. Mrs. Vaughan
had been shot through the tem
ple. One charge had struck
Vaughan in the body, piercing
his heart. Only two shots had
been fired. The gun was lying
between them had an empty
shell in each barrel. Vaughan
was seen shortly after 1 o’clock
by neighbors, and it is suppos
ed the shooting occurred about
2 o’clock. No one saw it or
heard the shots, however. The
Vaughans have no children.
So far as is known their domes
tic life was happy. Neighbors
say they had never heard of
trouble between them.
WILL BE CANDIDATE
SECRETARY OF STATE
W. M. Shaver, of Tucker
man, a member of the last
General Assembly, has an
nounced that he will be a can
didate for secretary of state in
the 1918 primaries. Mr. Shav
er is a leading educator of

What Is Uric Acid i
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Ever since the discovery of uric acit
in the blood bv Scheele, in 1775, am
the bad effect it bad upon the body
scientists and physicians have striver
to rid the tissues and the blood o
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu
matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called " Anuric,'
which will throw out and completeh
eradicate this uric acid from the sys
tem. "Anuric” has proved to be 37
times more potent than lithia, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
gout, or many other diseases which art
dependent on an accumulation of uric
acid within the body. Send to Dr.
Pierce, of the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a
pamphlet on " Anuric,” or send 10 cents
for a trial package of "Anuric Tablets.”
If you feel that tired, worn - out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent
urination, go to yonr best drug store
and ask for Doctor Pierce’s Anuric
Tablets.
Doctor Pierce’s reputation is back of
this medicine and you know that his
"Golden Medical Di- -nvery ” for tin
blood and his "Favorite Prescription'’

did reputation for the past titty years

EXTENSION SCHOOLS
Since July 191G,Farmers’ In
stitutes have been held in al
most all the counties in Arkan
sas and beginning with the sec
ond week of November, “Three
' Day Extension Schools” will be
offered to interested communi
ties throughout the state. Until
after January 1 these schools
will be held only in counties
so fortunate as to have an ag
ricultural and home demonstra
tion agent. After that date they
will be held in any community
that wants such a school. The
Extension Division of the Ark
ansas College of Agriculture
and U. S. Department of Agri
culture will send three teach
ers for the three days with one
or two special lectures in addi
tion. a teach* r of livestock, one
on soils and crops and a teach-!
or of cooking. To get one of
these schools there must be a
class of at least thirty farmers
who will agree to attend fori
the six sessions and there must j
be at least twenty women who I
will agree to attend for the six
sessions. There is no limit to
the number for the class other
than the size of the room but
all must agree to attend for the
six sessions. The communityj
will be expected to provide \
rooms or halls for the meetings
and the provisions used in the
cooking and canning lessons,
amounting probably to about
three or four dollars. Farmers
and their wives who want an
Extension School should tele
phone or see the county agent
at once as only twelve or four
teen can be held in November
and December.
FARM OWNERSHIP
Arkansas has too many ten
ant farmers. Exactly one half
the farmers of the state are
tenant farmers. This is the
best year in our history for
farmers to acquire land. We
have too many small farms
and this is a great year for the'
man with the small farm to add
to his holdings. Thousands of
farmers have more clear money j
than ever before and our land ,
prices have not yet advanced
although this is certain before |
next spring. This is not a per
sonal matter and not a matter
of concern only to the farmer.
It is of interest to bankers and |
merchants and preachers and
everybody, to have more farm
owners and fewer tenants. Let
ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF SELLING NARCOTICS
Newport, Oct. 24.—Samuel
Taggart, a young man of this
, city, was arrested the latter
part of the week by Sheriff
McCuistion, acting on an order
from Deputy United States
Marshal Elmer Hinkle at
Batesville, on a charge of sell
ing drugs. The young man was
taken to Batesville Saturday,
where he was arraigned before
Commissioner Parse on the
charge of selling narcotics.

Five or six doses will break any case, and
if taken then as a tonic the Fever will net

Calomel and does net ftripe or sicken. 2f>
everybody talk in favor offarm
ownership. Farm owners sup
port schools, roads and church
es better than do renters, no
matter how good a man a rent
er may be.
CLEAN-UP WEEK-WEEK
BEGINNING NOV. 13
The entomologists tell us
that the boll weevil may be al
most exterminated this winter
if farmers will help.The recom
mendations are that infested
cotton fields be plowed the
middle of November and then
that all trash in and about cot
ton fields be raked up and
burned early in November to
destroy the winter quarters of
the boli weevil. Therefore, all
farmers in the weevil territory
in Arkansas are urged to make
the week beginning November
13 a “Clean-Up Week." rak
ing up trash along fences,
ditches and in edges of wpods
adjoining cotton fields, around
old buildings and every place
where the weevil may find
snug winter quarters, and then
burning. Badly infested fields
in the rich delta region should
have the stalks raked immedi
ately after the last picking and
thoroughly burned, although
this plan is never recommend
ed except in just this emer
gency. Let everybody clean up
his cotton fields and bum dur
ing “Clean-Up Week.”
START SPRING GAR
DEN NOW
Notwithstanding the many
exhortations for fall and win
ter gardens, it is probably true
that eight of every ten Arkan
sas gardens are today grown
up in weeds with a few sorry
e a bib age heads. There are two
things to be done RIGHT NOW
for a successful garden next
year. (1) Cover with good
barnyard manure; (2) plow,
and plow deep. Th^n a light
seeding of oats, wlifat or rye
for the chickens will pay. If
weeds have seeded, all the
trash should be burned before
spreading the manure. Burn
trash, spread manure and then
plow are three important steps
to be taken before November
13, if possible, for a good gar
den next year.Then send to the
Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and U. S.
Department of Agriculture,Lit
