MAKING DIRT FLY
 IN FAIR GROUNDS
Hard at Work Leveling and Smoothing Baseball Grounds and Building Driveway Three Bridges
 Over Ward Greek.

Everything is hustle and hustle atthe new fair grounds these days and soon the fine baseball park and driveway will be ready for the big celebratoin. The drive. way will extend around the ball grounds and will be exactly oue- fourth of mile in length. It is planned to bank the drive at the turns, thus making it an excel lent place for showing driving stock and holding riding and driving contests.
 The ball grounds will soon be in excellent condition, and the lovers of that great American game will soon have an oppor- tunity to enjoy better ball than ever before seen in Mena.
 Grounds are being prepared and set aside for camping places for those from the country who de- sire to do so. There will be plenty of shade and water for all.
 The officers Monday selected a site for a speakers stand which they believe will not only accom- modate the large audiences but will also be sufficiently removed from the noises that the talks may be enjoyed by all without interruption.
 The bridges of rustic pattern will be thrown across Ward creek. which divides the grounds.
 Several of the enterprising have asked for privi- lege to place barrels of iced spring water on the grounds dur ing the fair, using the barrels for advertising signs. Ali who desire to take advantage of this method of making their business known will kindly notify G. B. Dennis and free space will be allotted.

LYDIA E. PiNKHAM

Nature and a woman's work CON-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate SUITE ring
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 5l5 NC. St,

Of other suffering women am willing
