ARKANSAS MAN TO
SAVE U.S. BIGSUM
Saving of $200,000 a Year For
Government is Due Wholly
To Arkansas Man
Washington, D. C., Aug.3.—
As the result of an announce
ment by the Treasury Depart
ment today that, beginning
August 16, all shipments of
money to national banks and
subtreasuries will be made by
mail instead of express, the
* government will save about
$200,000 annuanlly, which for
25 years or more has been go
ing to express ompanies.
The announcement is the re
sult of a movement originally
started six years ago by Na
than B. Williams of Fayette
ville, Ark., at present practic
ing attorney here, who is look
ed upon as an authority on pos
tal matters. About a year ago j
Mr. Williams took.up the mat
ter with James L. Wilmeth of j
Prescott, Ark., chief clerk of
the Treasury Department. Mr.
Wilmeth was impressed with
the saving that could be ef
fected, but the European war
intervening, he was sent to
Europe in charge of the dis
tribution of relief money to
stranded Americans. Later
he again took the matter up but j
was met with strenous opposi
tion to the plan by Post Office j
Department officials. The mat
ter finally was adjusted and j
announcement was made today 5
by Acting Secretary of Treas
ury Newton that, beginning
August 16, all shipments of
money will be made by mail to
subtreasuries. The money will
be franked out. while money |
sent to and from national banks
will be paid for by the banks.
FINE YIELD OF POTATOES
P. H. Hulsey of Dunnington
is the champion potato grow
er of the county, when it comes
to making a big yield.
Last spring Mr. Hulsey
planted two bushels of Trium
ph potatoes and one bushel of
the Burbank variety. He dug
the Triumph some time ago
and reported a yield of .‘50
bushels from the two bushels
of seed potatoes planted. This
is considered an extra good
yield, but when he dug the
Burbanks a few days ago he'
found that they had made a
far greater yield than the Tri
umph He measured them up
carefully and found that from
the one bushel of seed potatoes
planted he secured a yield of
21 bushels.
This is the largest yield of
potatoes to the amount of seed
planted ever reported in
this section, and if anyone can
beat it the Journal would like:
to hear from them.

PENSIONERS TO GET
SIXTY PER CENT
Increase in Number Will Re
duce Amount to be Paid to
Confederate Pensioners
Little Rock, Aug. 4.—More
than 12 per cent increase in
the number of Confederate
pensioners in the state is shown
in the reports from 50 of the
75 county pension boards so far
at the office of the state auditor.
The state pension board will
approve the applications for
pensions, and ollicials of the
auditors office are endeavoring
to secure the reports from all
counties before that time.
It is estimated that the pen
sioners will not receive‘more
than 65 per cent on their pen
ion warrants this year, because
of the large increase in the
number of applications with
out an increase in the fund.
The last legislature passed a
law making the conditions for
applicants more liberal, which
accounts for the heavy increase
despite the deaths during the
I year.
' Last year the 50 counties
hada total of 5,888 pensioners.
This year the total will be 6,
515. There were 1,085 new
applications and 486 deaths.
Garland, Lonoke, and St. Fran
ce is counties showed a decrease
!*n the number of pension appli
cants. Union county had the
largest increase, 43.
ACT QUICKLY
Delay has Been Dangerous in
Newark
Do the right thing at the
right time.
Act quickly in time of dan
ger.
In time of kidney danger
Dojiivs Kidney Pills are most
effective.
Plenty of evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. E. M. Baker. W. Pleas
ant St., Searcy, Ark., says:
“Kidney trouble came on me
and in a short time I was in a
bad shape. I had backache
and dizzy spells. The kidney
j actions were unnatural and my
joints swelled. On account of
my advanced age,I didn'tthink
practically curedathis frvco d
1 could get much relief A box
of Doan’s Kidney Pillsgaveme
line relief, in fact practically
cured me.” (Statement given
May 2G, 1908 )
Over five years later Mrs.
Baker said: “1 don’t have to
take Doan’s Kidney Pills very
often but when l do. they al
ways give good results.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Bak
er had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

COULD SCARCELK
WALK ABOUT
And For Three Summers Mrs. Vin
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“1 suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadiul nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
1 also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
tint int spc.:s would come on me, 1
would !.'ve to give up and lie down,
until it v ore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
heai.it, when 1 finally decided to try
C«jcui. toe woman’s Ionic, and 1 firmly
believe I would have died if I hadn’t
taken it.
After I began taking Cardui, f was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
i fattened rip, and grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an
other person altogether.”
Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the :cr
' vous system, and helps to make pJe,
sallow' cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
> It will surely do for you, w hat it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.

PHONE COMPANY PROTECTS ITS
WORKERS.
No Charge to Employes for Insur
ance Against Accident, Sick
ness and Death.
Newport.—J. A. McMichael, lineman
of the Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone company, who met with a
serious accident last March while on
his way to repair a telephone line in
this city, is receiving a semi-monthly
allowance amounting 10 one-half his
regular pay. This allowance is paid
by the Employes' Benefit Fund estab
lished by the Southwestern Telegraph
and Telephone company. Without one
cent of expense to employes, a fund of
3:1:1,000 has been set aside to meet
payments under a broad plan cover
ing accident, sickness and death bone
lits.
McMichael received tall pay for
thirteen weeks, and will receive half
pay until he is able to resume his
work. The maximum time for the half
pay benefit is set at six years.
Another employe who is now ieven
ing payments from the fund is H. S.
Queen of Earle. Ark., who fell from a i
pole last June and- broke his arm. i
I■ Mc>ii:.n I. he received lull pay
f.-r thirteen weeks and will continue
to receive half pay until he has re
oovored from his injury. Queen was
in the service only nine months when
his accident occurred.
The family of another telephone
worker in Arkansas received $2,400
following his death, which occurred
while in the performance of duty.
This life insurance is another fea
ture of the Southwestern Telegraph
and Telephone company's benefit
plan. Dependents of employes who
have been engaged in the business for
live or more years are entitled to one
x ear’s salary, not to exceed $2,000, in
case of death from natural causes. If
death results from injuries received
while at work for the company the
amount is increased to three years’
salary, not to exceed $-",000.
The benefit fund also provides for
pensions for employes who have
served from twenty to thirty years.
Th lowest pension is $20 per month.
The Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone company’s benefit plan is
considered one of the most liberal
now being followed by any public
utility in the country.
BRITISH TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Government Operation of Lines Is
Proving Unsatisfactory. Expensive
and Inefficient.
Little Rock.—A copy of the Shef
field. England, Daily Telegraph re
cently received here contains an arti
cle that would indicate that there is
more complaint in that country over
government-owned telephones than
ever was known by a private tele
phone company in this country. The
article went on to say:
"The postmaster-general is said to
have complained some time ago that
he could not dine out, either in public
or in private, without hearing about
those ‘confounded telephones.’ The
grumbles have not yet ended; there
was a sort of culminating outburst of
them in the house of commons recent
ly, when all the hard things that could
he said even about the telephone serv
ice were said with the utmost em
phasis,
"The service was said to be ineffi
cient and expensive; its management
was declared to be outrageously at
fault; painful comparisons were
drawn with the former system under
company management, and it was
pointed out that the government’s
profit through duties levied on the
National Telephone company was ac
tually greater than IP present profit
as owner of the service. Altogether
this experiment itt state monottoly
looks like anything but a success. But
the postmaster general is seemingly
impenitent; and anyhow he has the
telephones and means to stick to
them, so there is no help for it. But
one hopes, for the credit of the post
office. that an effort will he made to
give the public more satisfaction than
it has recently had."

Two Alive of 106 Who
Soldiered 54 Yrs Ago
Fifty-four years ago today,
'August 5, 1861, Uncle Bob
Adams left Jacksonport, where
he enlisted in the Confederate
army, to go to Pocahontas
where his company was join
ed by others, and they were
transported by boat to Hick

listed, contained 106 men.
They left Jacksonport on a

of that number there are now
only two living—Uncle Bob

Uncle Bob celebrated his
seventy-fourth birthday a short
time ago and has been a resi
