COL. A.V. SWATY TRANSFERRED
Government Agricultural Agent
 Sent to Oklahoma.
We'll Known Demonstration Farm Worker will Probably, However, Enter a
 New Field of Work

An article published in Little Rock paper states that Col. A. V. Swaty, who has been in charge of the government demonstration farm wo k i'll Faulkner and other counties, had been transferred to eastern Oklahoma territory, effect i've this week. This information will be received with much regret by the farmers of this county who have cultivated land under Col. Swatv's direction the past season. He has done much to forward the interests of scientific farming i'll this immediate section, his terri tory covering some dozen counties.
 It is not decided as to who will succeed MT. Swaty. It is possible that the number of special agents may be cut down, owing to the new policy of more work for strict ly local agents, but the work among the farmers will be pushed with the same zeal which has been manifested before.
 MT. Swaty has just completed his final report as to his year s work in the district. Among oth- CT features are the following inter esting figures: Since January I he has travelled 2,3Io miles by team and 5,52I by rail, or an average of B miles daily, in looking after the interests of his district. Nine hun dred and three dollars and thirty cents has been raised among the different boards of trade and by tke farmers directly to aid in car rying on the work, largely through the efforts of MT. Swaty.
 It is probable, however, that Col. Swaty will resign his posi- ton with the government at an early date in order to take up the work of an immigration bureau which he has been planning for some time. The purpose Of this bureau will be to settle substantial foreign immigrants on the cut-over timber lands in this state and also to bring citizens of other states to Arkansas. He has received much

encouragement in this venture and it is predicted that the work will not only be successful from his standpoint, but will be the means of adding many desirable citizens to the state and bringing into pro- ductivity much land that is now uncultivated.

Useful Medicine Rottl.

In Europe there is in common use
a medicine bottle with glass stopper
which has tiny groove running down
one side of it, which corresponds to u
tiny groove in the neck of the bottle.
These are used for medicines that
must be dropped, such as nux vomica
and strychnine, and when the stopper
is turned with the groove toward that
in the bottle, the medicine drops out
easily and not too rapidly, but, when
finished, the stopper need only be
turned back SO that the two grooves
do not coincide, and the medicine is
protected from the air.
Thus it is not necessary to remove
the stopper from the bottle from the
time it is filled until the medicine has
all been used

For those who object to wire netting
in the windows during the summer a
new idea has been found to prevent
flies and such annoying pests from
entering the house. This new pre-
yentative is a window-box of mignon-

care to face the odor of this charming

YORKVILLE GETS Or

The Episcopal Orphans
Home to be Moved from
Charleston.

Yorkville, Nov. 21.-At a
meeting of the trustees of the
Church Home and Orphanage of
the diocese of the Episcopal
church in South Carolina, held
yesterday afternoon at St. Mich
aePs Parish home, il was decided
to remove the orphanage from
Charleston to Yorkvilie. The
Diocesan Home for the old ladies
of the church will be retained
here. All of the trustees were
present at the meeting yester-
day, with the exception of one,
who was detained by unavoid.
able circumstances. Bishop
Guerry, who is president of the
board, presided, and the deepest
interest was taken by all present
in the matter under considera
ton.
Briefly stated, it appears that
IYorkvil!e was prepared 10 offer
the site of the old Kings Noun

fine buildings and some eleven
acres of land, and also an en-
dowment of $4,000, which was
guaranteed by Mr.. w. B. Moore.
OF that city and the city council
OF Yorkville supplemented this
with free light, water and sew
erage for ten years, and in ad-
dltion to this, the physicians of
Yorkville agreed to give free
medical attention. 1t is believed
this offer represents money
value of nearly $4,000, besides
the annual contribution of the
city IN water and lights.
1t was stated also that at a
reasonable price some 25 or 80
acres OF land adjoining the prop
erty could be obtained.
