Save This Anyway.

Here is a simple home made mixture as given by an eminent authority of Kidney diseases, who makes the statement in a New York daily newspaper, that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, fre- quent desire to urinate, especial ly at night: painful and dis colored urin ation, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe; try it:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 A well-known druggist here in town is authority that these in- gradients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking we'll in a bottle. This mixture has apeculiar healing and sooth- ing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kid neys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, discomposed waste matter, which cause these af- flictions. Try itifyou arn't well. Save the prescription.

And This Story Was Told by a
 Preacher

Fey. P. c. Fletcher is the owner of most interesting freak. He is very fond of pets and has several varieties about his hone. Among them are a black cat and a tame rabbit. About six weeks ago the cat gave birth to 8 kitten, and Mr. Fletcher says there is no question of a doubt that the offspring is a cross between a rabbit and cat. This cat-rabbit has the head of 8 cat and the tail of a rabbit. Its front feet are rabbit feet and it's hind feet are of the cat. Mr. Fletcher says that when you stroke it's head it will purr like a cat, but touch it on it's tail and the rabbit nature prebominates it is off in a hurry.-Spring- dale News.

MINIMUM OF THE FARMERS,

The growth of the Farmers Union Is one of the wonders of these times, From quiet but earnest talk in which five farmers participated 1t has grown to be mighty organization, numbering 100000 members In af3 States. The South is fairly covered by 1t, and it remains today an organi. zatlon of farmers, by farmers, fep farmers. There are few or no dema. gogues or politicians in it. It stands for everything that will help the farm. CT, and the South has no organization that is more efficient today or that promises to be more helpful in the future. It aims to induce the farmers who grow cotton to act as one man in the marketing of their chief cash crop, and it's success in that direction has been satisfactory and beneficial,
 The organization sitting at Little Rock has just placed a 15-cent mfnk mum upon the new cotton crop. There are plenty of men who will attack this minimum, but the assailants are not farmers. The farmers think that
 
 ing higher prices, cotton should bring 15 cents. The farmers are entitled to a larger compensation in an expen, sive era, and the law of supply and demand is supporting them in thetr reasonable demands. The minimum named at Little Rock was not hurried- ly or carelessly determined. It Is the result of cautious and comprehen. sive survey of the entire situation, and if the members of the union will stand Loyalty up to it, surprising good may flow from it. The prosperity of the South is tied up in the proposition and cordial cooperation on the part Of the members of the Farmers Un- ion can carry it to a glorious consum. mation.-Birmingham Age-Herald.

Deposits Over a Million.

The story of Washington pros- perity is told in the following from last weeks issue of the Fayetteville Democrat:
 The deposits in the four banks at Fayetteville today was ap- proximately S1,205,000. This is the largest amount ever on de- posit in this city, and is a reflec- tion of the prosperity of the town and county. Within the past two years there have be en many small banks established in the county which naturally would take hundreds of accounts from the Fayetteville banks. Spring dale has three, Prairie Grove has two, Lincoln has one, Cane Hill has one, Winslow has one or two. All of these banks are engaged in a good business. And there are hundreds of thousands of dollars in the county in strong boxes, in wallets, in sacks, and buried away for safe keeping.
 The working man or farm CT with money who has not formed the banking habit is inde ed un fortunate. When he puts his money in the bank he puts it in circulation, and by that amount increases the value of money to be handled, thus decreasing the rate of interest and enabling progressive men to undertake improvements and enterprises which will be of material benefi to the community. Washington county has never experienced a more prosperous year, and it is only in the first stages of it's de- velopment.

APPLE STORIES FROM
 ROGERS DEMOCRAT,

M. Wheatly, just west of Rog- CTS, sold his apple crop to Geo, Mayes, representing St. Louis parties, for S2.50 a barrel, or chard run. The total yield was 3500 barrels, which means S8, 750. There are 55 acres of orchard.
 Mir. Wheatly bought this place, best known as the Hubbard farm, five years ago for S6000. It con- tained no acres and the orchard is now 15 years old. MT. Wheat ly has given it thorough cultiva- ton and the orchard was well sprayed last spring. The yield was not so great as expected but the orchard makes one of the best showings of the year.
 When we told several months ago of the sale of the apple or chard of W. R. Cady, a mile south of Rogers, to Scriber 6 Chynoweth for S2.50 a barrel, we said that the crop was estimat- ed at 4000 barrels. Friday, the last barrel of apples in the or chard was packed and it was found that the crop was just 3900 barrels, total of S9,750. As $500 of earley apples and culls had been sold before the sale of the orchard, the total gross income was $10,250. The per cent of cuIIs in the orchard is claimed to have been less than 8 per cent.

The Texas Fever Quarantine.

Hon. J. Sam Rowland Dear Sir: Your letter of 9-21 to MT. VincenhelIer has been referred to me. The work in tick eradi- cation in cooperation with the bureau of Animal Industry for this state is in charge of Dr. Lem ton of this department. He is now absent from the state until October 10th so that any further correspondence may be carried on with me until that time. The inspectors of whom there are in the employ of the state and about six or eight in the employ of the Federal department are at work in Benton, Carroll, Randolph, and Clay counties, these being the counties least infested with ticks and most suitable to start with; and also those in which the farmers seemed most in sympathy with work. It is the intention to continue in the other northern counties of the state next year if the govern ment officials can be induced to carry it on alone without state cooperation, because the state appropriation will be exhausted with this years work. It was entirely too small an appropri- ation for such an important and much needed work.
 Some observations were made in Boone county early in the year and it was found that the amount of open range and of tick infested territory were too great to admit of any thing being done there until more funds were available.
 The farmers meanwhile can best protect their stock from tick fever by keeping them off the open range and by cleaning their cattle from ticks by the use of crude oil and by seeing that no tick bearing cattle are allowed at large. The law real ly calls for quarantine of ticky stock and this law is now enforced where the inspectors are work ing. The farmers can them selves see to it's enforcement. I will be glad to furnish and any further information.

Growing Willows For Ba skc ts.

A truly infant industry in this country is the growing of basket willow. This is one kind of tree which can easily be grown in time to meet the demand. Os- iers for making baskets have been heretofore all imported from Europe, but experiments by the Forest Service show that they can be successfully grown in this country as. a farm crop. The manufacture of baskets is by no means so large as it might be, and the increasing scarcity of wood for boxes may cause a greater demand hereafter for bas- kets.
