MEMORIAL VOLUME
 AND MONUMENT
Address Issued by Committee on MoH- 0rial to Southern Women of Ar- kanSas-Vicar General J. VI.
 Luccy. Chairman.

The Memorial Committee appointed by the State Confederate Reunion, Of October, 1906, at Fort Smith, to pre- pare and have printed in a volume the "reminiscences of the work of the Southern women of Arkansas in the Civil War period, wish to make known to the Confederate Veterans of the State, Sons of Veterans and complished and what remains to be done. It was decided that the papers which would be received from the la dies in the different parts of the State, accounting the heroic deeds of our women in the Civil War perio1 should be published in the Arkansas Gazette in the Sunday editions, and when all the papers had thus appear ed and received Corrections from the authors, they would be printed in pamphlet form of an edition of about 5000 copies.
 About 50 papers have been received from our Southern ladies for publica- tion in the pamphlet. The Gazette has published about two-thirds of the papers. The time has now arrived to give the papers to the printer who is io get out the pamphlet, as the an- nual reunion of 1907 will open at Hot Springs on October 4th coming.
 It would be fine thing if our com mittee could present this pamphlet at the next reunion at Hot Springs and then and there start a movement for the erection of monument to the Southern women of Arkansas of the Civil War period, to be placed oppo- site the Soldiers Monument now on the new capitol grounds, or wherever the reunion may direct. The pam phlet or book will give so much evil dence of the heroism of our Southern women that no one could hesitate moment in making every possible sacrifice to commemorate that hero- ism and show to present and future generations that the old Confederate element of Arkansas is not ungrate- full The Southern women have been putting up monuments to Southern soldiers; now let the Confederate Vet erans and the Sons of Veterans unite to publish this pamphlet as fore runner to a monument to he women.
 The estimated expense of 5000 pamphlets, of 150 pages each, is S400. The committee has received so far from General V. Y. Cook, Newport, $25; J. F. Murray Camp, Pine Bluff, $25; Omer Weaver Camp, Little Rock, $25, and a few dollars in small amounts. It is necessary for the committee to decide Immediately whether or not this pamphlet is to be printed. The Sons of Veterans have been invited to join the Confederate Veterans in this movement. It is cer- tainly in the power of these two large organizations to make up without de- lay $500. If the Committee receives the assurance within ten days after the publication of this notice that the money will be forthcoming, they will give the order for 5000 copies of the pamphlet to the printer. When the pamphlet has been printed, it may be sold at from 10 to D cents copy, and this money will be the nest egg for the monument fund. Send sub scriptions to the chairman of this committee.
 J. M. Lucey, Pine Bluff, Ark, Chair man; Jonathan Kellogg, Little Rock Ark, Secretary; Jas H. Berry, V. Y. Cook, Chas. Coffin, Dan w. Jones, Committee.

THE ARMY. WORM AND
ITS METHOD OF WORK
Large Numbers They Exceedingly Destructive
and ZEN Trees

There are many worms that are
called army worms, and it is therefore
necessary to distinguish between
them. In a report issued last Decem-
Der the Minnesota station called at
tention to the injury this worm is do
ing to timothy meadows. It was pre-
dicted that the coming season will
show still greater damage.
This is one of the cut worms, and
it is found in such numbers some
seasons that it is known as the army
worm in certain, localities. It's life
history is similar to the other cut
worms. The female moth lays about
500 eggs on blades OF grass, placing
Is or 20 or more on each blade of
grass. These eggs hatch in from six
to ten days and the minute larvae be-
gin at once to attack the grass on
which they are born. Frequently a
farmer will see the effect of their
work without being aware of their
presence. They attack not only grasses
but the cereals and corn. Occasion
ally they attack the foliage of the ap-
pie tree.

1.-THE most effective method of COM
batingathe army worm is ditching. If
two or more burrows be turned up
with plow between the advancing
army and the crop which it threatens,
the steep side of the furrow being to-
wards the crop, the worms tend to
congregate therein, brought to stop
by the wall of dirt. These burrows
should be about two feet or more
apart.
1T is better yet, if time and labor
are available, to dig ditch next the
crop that is in danger, since it is hard
err for them to extricate themselves
from ditch than from furrow.
Several burrows will, however, check
them till they cap be killed. killing
can be accomplished by putting dry
straw on the worms in the furrow and
hurriedly firing it, after wetting it
slightly with kerosene. Or kerosene
may be poured directly on the worms
This in itself is fatal, but very expen

AN OLD EDITOR
Found $4,000 Worth of Food.

The editor of a paper out in Okla,
said: Yes, it is true when I got hold
of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth
more than a $4,000 doctor bill to me,
for it made me we'll man. I have
gained rs pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my
brain power has been given back to
me, and that is an absolute essential,

35 years.
MY pen shall always be ready to
speak a good word for this powerful
nutritive food. I had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap'
ply the food to my own use, until, in
my extremity and sickness the thought
came to me that it might fit my case.
The statements in regard to the food
are absolutely correct, as have proven
in my own case. One very fortunate
thing about the food is that while it is
the most scientifically made and high
ly nourishing, concentrated food have
ever known, it has so delicious a taste
that it wins and holds friends

many other of our insect pests, is ex-

buries them so deeply that the moths

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
e =. Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people,.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives it's nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DIR. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
fOrceful men and women.

avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:

ciating and my heart panied me so that
