Farmers Like Modern Farming.

State Agent ]. A. Evans of the gov ernment agricultural demonstration work. Governor-elect George w. Bonaghey and Congressman Charles C. Reid will speak at a big gathering of farmers which will be held in Con way November 20 The object of the meeting is to stimulate interest in the government demonstration farm work in Faulkner county, and about 90 farmers who cultivated demonstration farms under the supervision of Special Agent A. w. Swaty will be present at the meeting The work of the past year will be renewed and plans for be discussed
 The demonstration farms in that county have been highly successful. Each farmer undertaking the work agreed to cultivate five acres of cotton and an equal amount of corn, accord ing to instructions and personal sug- gestions made by the government agent, the Board of Trade of Conway paying 8 to supply each farm with seed. Col. Swaty made monthly trips of inspection to the farms, and his in- structions were. for the most part strictly carried out.
 The results in some cases were amazing. Several plats of land which hitherto had been producing third or fourth of bale to the acre, this year produced more than a bale. Cot ton which thirds itself" G. e., pro duces one-third of it's weight in lint cotton and two-thirds in cotton seed) is generally regarded as making a good turn out" but the average per. centage of lint cotton raised on the demonstration farms this year is more than 40 per cent The corn was al most equally as good. despite an un favorable seaon.
 The lesson has been invaluable to the farmers of that county. each de monstration farm being an object ol interest and study for miles around and it is probable that thousands o acres of land will be worked next yeal according to the scientific principle. of agriculture which the government department has demonstrated.

Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
 Cuticura Effected Cure. -

When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. took him to doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got SO bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists In skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get nights sleep in months got set of Cuticura Reme- dies and he felt relieved the first time l used them. gave the Cuticura Remedies good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trou- ble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp, so Niagara St., Newark. N. J.. Oct. F and 22. 1907."

 The so-called falling off was not a falling off I attribute the votes fall ing short of the expected mark to the fact that an unusually large vote was cast for the Socialist candidate in 1904 Then there were a great many disgruntled Democrats who were cha. grined because Parker was nominat ed, and they voted with the Socialists.

The report that gained wide circu- lation to the effect that negro had been lynched at Hope Saturday night is groundless and doubtless had its ori- gin from a whipping administered to negro by white men that night. The fellow had been molesting white wom- en and band of men took him to the corporation limits, fogged him and after firing a few revolver shots to frighten him, told him to leave the town never to return. He has evident ly taken heed of the warning. for he has not since been seen there.

EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman Is usually eager to be busy at somo useful task or employment.
 But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden.
 "A year ago, after recovering from an operation" writes Mich. lady, my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble.
 At times my appetite was vora- cious. but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times l had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me, and 1 grew weaker than ever.
 T lest interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifie would upset me and bring on a vio- lent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed ex- ercise was out of the question.
 T had seen Grape Nuts advertised. but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last when 1t seemed as if were literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts.
 Il had not been able to work for a year. but now after two months on GrapeNuts I am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trou- ble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health"

Layne Released After the ,n,ues,

George Layne of Argenta was Sat urday afternoon cleared of charges in connection with the death of Alex. Snyder. who died at Lonoke Friday night as the result of knife wounds inflicted by Layne Sunday, Nov. 1.
 We the jury find the deceased came to his death as the result of wounds inflicted by a knife in the hands of George Layne and that the killing was justifiable." was the yer diet of the coroner's jury after an in- quest had been held by Coroner F. A. Corn. Immediately after the inquest a preliminary examination was held before Magistrate ". E. Dempsey, at Lonoke, and Layne was formally freed of the charges.
 Laynes exoneration was due chief ly to the testimony of Joe White, who accompanied Snyder and Layne on the hunting expedition from Argenta to Lonoke, and to the testimony of Layne himself.
 The testimony of both was that Shy der was the aggressor and that Layne would have been seriously injured or killed if he had not defended himself.
 Snydew, they said. who had been drinking, said he could "cut the - heart out of Layne" because the lat. ter. he said, had gotten him to go on the tiip under false pretense. Shy der then rushed toward Layne, who ran around a wagon several times and then took refuge behind tree. There he was attacked by Snyder. whom he stabbed, infiicting two wounds with his knife. The jury found no wounds in Snyder's back. It was reported that he had been stabbed from behind.
 Pate Travis. the fisherman who took Snyder to Lonoke after the stabbing, testified that Snyder had been drink. ing.

THE FIGHT FOR
SENATOR
Three Conditions Now i'm the Field
Three Cornered Contest
Probable.

A report to the Spokesman-Review
from Ellensburg, in reference to the
political situation there, says:
THE senatorial district which COM
prises Kittitas and Chelan counties is
promised a lively three-cornered con-
test for the republican nomination, in
which Walter Olive of Wenatchee, G.
E. Dickson, of Ellensburg, and JOB
NJ. Balmer, of Clealum, figure as the
candidates. Mr.. Olive is one of the
recognized party leaders of Chelan
county, Mr.. Dickson is a member of
the lower house of the legislature
from the Kittitas county district and
a member Of the Alaska-Y
cific exposition commission, under
appointment by Governor Mead, and
Mr.. Balmer was formerly professor
of horticulture at Clealum. While
none of these gentlemen have made
official announcements of candidacy
all three are expected to enter the
race.
In the contest between them it is
but natural that local considerations
will play large figure. The grorp.
ing of Kittitas and Chelan counties
since the nearest practical route OF
travel from ore county to the c.her
lies through Seattle, a co11it.oa
which las a tendency to arouse !,
feeling of local jealousy. A. the
same time there is some feeling of
rivalry in Kittitas county between
the Ellensburg and the Roslyn ends
of the county. Kittitas county is
somewhat larger than Chelan in pop
ulation, and the electors of this
county could, if united, name the
the candidate, but with Kittitas
county divided there is an excellent
chance for the nomination of the
Chelan county candidate.
