State Was Wrongly Rated.

Guy Tucker commissioner Of mines,
manufactures and agriculture, has CIV
en- out a statement in which he cor
rected the rating given the State OF
Arkansas at the recent meeting OF the
Southern Commissioners OF Agricul-
ture held at Birmingham, Ala, in re-
gard to the amount Of cotton that
was produced by Arkansas during the
past year. Mr.. Tucker states that
this State was rated at the convention
as having raised $4,000 bales of cot
ton. Instead of that amount, he says
that it is his belief that the amount
can not possibly exceed 70O,0Oe bales,
and he does not believe that it will
exceed $50 900 bales. Mr.. Tucker stat
ed that he did not give any such sta
tistics to the commissioners and does
not want it understood that he gave
out those figures. The State of Ark
ansas last year raised $4,000 bales
of cotton.

State Capital Notes
MAJ Lose Appropriaticn.

Maj. r. b. Heating of McCrory, in
command of the First Battalion, First
Regiment Arkansas National Guard,
was in the city Thursday. He came to
Little Rock to consult the officials at
National Guard headquarters regarding
the question of securing winter uni
forms for the guard. Maj. Heating
contends that unless the guard is pro-
vided with these uniforms it is liable
not to receive its share of the annual
appropriation made by the government
for the national guards of the various
states. According to the Dick bill, Maj.
Heating says, no part of this appropria-
ton can 20 to any national guard Or
ganization that is not fully armed and
equipped. and that without winter uni
forms the members of the Arkansas
National Guard cannot be said to be
fully equipped Maj. Heating was I'M
able to see any of the officials at
headquarters, and returned to his home
without obtaining the information he
desired.

Important Matters Before Board.

Two important matters will come up
for discussion and probable action at
the next meeting of the State Board
of Charitable Institutions, to be held
in this city. A member Of the board
stated Sunday that the most important
matter will be the opening of the bids
for the construction of the new hospi-
tai to be built at the State Blind
School and possibly the letting of the
contract, providing the bids are accept
able. 1t is also the intention to take
up the matter of covering the wing con-
nections at the Deaf Mute Institute
and drawing up specifications for that
improvement. The sum of $4,000
was appropriated by the last legisla-
ture to the board for use in building
an additional hospital building at the
blind school. This appropriation is
also to equip the building. The board
will build a brick one-story building
to cost $4,000, while the other $500
will be expended in equipment The
building is to be erected south and
southeast OF the present hospital build
ing and will be used for contagious
cases only. 1t is to have two wards,
accommodating about six persons in
each ward. The present hospital ac-
commodities IL persons in each of it's
two wards. The bids on the building
were received by the board Saturday.
The sum Of $1,000 is to be expended
by the board in covering the wing con-
nections at the Deaf Mute Institute.
The connections are to be walled and
rooted. The board will consider spec.
if1cations for that improvement.

Acting Governor Y. O. Pindall will
aid in enforcing the new anti-drum.
ming law which was passed by the
last session of the Legislature for the
relief of Hot Springs. The governor

refused pardon to A. J. Pearrow, a
cripple, who was arrested in Hot
Springs, charged with drumming, and
fined in the City Court The anti
drumming law was placed on the
statute books of the state for the pur-
pose of the protection of many I'M
fortunate people who visit the Valley
Of Napors for bodily benefit. Il is al

TO prey upon this class of people, EN-
ployed drummers or "steererS' whose

Proposed Athletic Field.

1t has been proposed in many quar-
ters to establish an athletic field In
West End park, and the movement is
gaining in popular favor 1t is the idea
of those who have the matter close
at heart to make arrangements so that
such an athletic field would include a
baseball diamond, football gridiron,
one-third mile cinder running track
and tennis courts. to be maintained
for the use of the schools. colleges and
associations of the city, and to be made
large enough to accommodate the pro
gram events at the annual state field
day, on which occasion the larger
schools of the State send track teams
to compete for athletic honors.

RECIPE MIXED OFTEN.
Druggists Hear Much Praise for
This Mixture.
Lots of Men and Women Here Had the
Simple Homemade Mixture Pre-
pared Says Druggist.

Some remarkable stories are be-
ing told about town and among the
country people coming in of this
simple home made mixture curing
Rheumatism and Kidney trouble.
Here is the recipe and directions
for taking: Mix by shaking we'll
in bottle one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon, three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Take
as a dose one teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of
cold water.
This mixture, writes one au-
thority in a leading Philadelphia
newspaper, has a peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys to sift and
brain from the blood the uric acid
other poisonous waste matter, over
coming Rheumatism, Bladder and
Urinary troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has
had hundreds of calls for these
ingredints since the first announce
ment in the newspapers last Oc-
tober stated that the people who
once try it "swear by it" especial
ly those who have Urinary and
Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neigh
orhood say they can supply the
ingredients, which are easily mixed
at home. There is said to be no
better blood cleansing agent or sys-
tenn tonic know, and certainly none
more harmless or simple to use.

Farmers Ask For Special Session.

Acting Governor X. 0. Pindall has
the Farmers Local Union, No. 1851, of
Cross county, in which he is request
ed to call a special session of the leg
islature for the purpose of having that
body pass such law as will protect
the cotton growers and dealers of the
State in that they will be enabled to
by the National Union. In his reply,
Governor Pindall stated that there was
no one more thoroughly in accord or
sympathy with the needs and purposes
OF the farmers and cotton growers of
the State, and that he would like very
much to aid them in their present eff
legislature together for the simple pur-
pose of submitting such a general prop
osition to that body. He stated that
no definite bill or measure had been
offered, and without such it would not
be a practical thing to do to call the
legislature together in special session.
nication, that, should the farmers I'M
ion direct the kind of a bill which will
give necessary relief, | will certainly
include the same in any call that
may make for an extra session of the

mental rules of good telephone
talking are: SPEAK CLEARLY AND
NOT TOO RAPIDLY; speak DIRECTLY
INTO THE INSTRUMENT with the
lips very close to the mouthpiece,
throwing" the voice from the
mouth and not "snothering it in
the throat or chest; and don speak
in TOO LOUD a tone. For SHORT
DISTANCES the voice should be a
SHADE LOWER rather than higher
than a we'll modulated converse
tionai tone. For long distances
it should be raised somewhat, but
NEVER enough to APPROACH SHOUT
ING. The transmitter is neCessar-
ilv very sensitive, and if the dia-
phragm is made to vibrate too VOL
emily the effect will be to confuse
conversation by jumbling sounds.

are advising customers not to throw
away the tinfoil in which the choco-
late is enveloped, but to keep it un-
til called for by an agent, who will
gladly pay the market price for it.
The present high price of tin is due
to the action of English and Dutch

which is generally thrown to the
