THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY,

In the opinion of one who has tray.
eled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo They are coutcnted be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quoting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream Here, still existent,
and by reason Of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir
tied Anglo.SaXon. Every man is the
supreme ruler Of his own little prin.

LAND FOR SMALL GRAIN.
Thorough Preparation and Judicious
Fertlizlng Essential to Con.
tinued Good Results,

On Virginia soil, which had an abun.
dance of plant food, our grandfathers
made fine wheat crops with little prep.
aration and no commercial fertilizer.
About 1850 they began to learn. as
the soil was growing thinner, that pea.
vines and cottonseed increased the
yield of wheat. Now that we have very
little fresh land, the small grain crop
Will be very light unless there is thor.

For small grain the sub-soil should

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. TO take TONES and stimU'
lants' under such circumstances is
like setting the house on fire to see
if you can put it out.
THE right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years | had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi
cine, the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in few days that craving, gnaw-
ing feeling would start up, and
would vomit everything | ate and
drank.
when / started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis.
appeared entirely.
my mother was very much both
cred with diarrhea before commence
ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom.
ach was so weak she could not digest
her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she
is well, and says she don't think she
could live without it.
ut Is great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for / can sleep as sound
and undlsturbed after a supper OF
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when

brain as good nights sleep, such as
you can enjoy after eating Grape,
Nuts"

For many years cotton farmers

the southern cotton producers, as a

There is but one cause Tor this. and
here it is: Most any common clod-

cotton, but il takes q different kind
of work to place this cotton on the
market so as to retain the profits in
the hands of the producers, where it
justly belongs.
Most any common cotton farmer
can, siugle-handed. independently and
alone produce a profitable crop of cot

of many thousand cotton producers to
keep the old crowd of cotton spocula-

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES
Stones to the Value Of $500 Found in

Never in the history of the United

for diamonds as there was in 1908.
Large quantities We're imported, but
the country produced none

value Of $50, IN 1901 it had an output
worth 500, in 1900 its production was
valued at $3.50, and in 1899 the coun.
Try boosted native diamonds to the
value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered in
the United States in four different re.
gions, but their actual place Of orr.
gin is unknown. All have been found
in loose and superficial deposits, and
all accidentally
1t is not at all improbable, how.
