TIE rLAN CT WORK.

Recognizing, however, that farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to colae into bearing,
it was planned to plant crops for quick re-
turns between the trce-rowS, thus putting the
WORK on q feasible basis from the small farm
eT's point of view. In order to cc0nornize
ground the irrigating borders were placed
as to coincide with the rOws of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. lrrigating water from the Colorado

EXPLORATIONS MAY
 USE SULPHUR,
Department Has Decided Sulphur
 May be Used Again This Year.

In answer to an inquiry in re- gard to the use of sulphur in drying fruit, Secretary of Agri. culture, Wilson said that the matter was still in the hands of the Referee Board and that pend- ing their decision the evaporators could proceed during 1909 under the same restrictions as were prescribed some time ago.
 The ruling of the Board last spring on the use of sulphur was as follows:
 No objection will be made to foods which contain the ordinary quantities of sulphur dioxid, if the fact that such foods have been so prepared is plainly stated upon the label of each package. An abnormal quantity of sulphur dioxid placed in food for the pur- pose of marketing an excessive moisture content will be regarded as fraudulent adulteration, under the Food and Drug Act of June 30, le06, and will be proceeded against accordingly."-Ex.

Your stores could be turn- ed into rooming houses, your park made resting place for Weary Willies in the summer time, and no one need be busy but the postmaster. Political, theological and financial ques- tions that require much cogi- bundity for solution would oe- cupy the minds of your solons and the natives be greatly bene- fited by the result.

DEATHS
DODSON.


 When the spirit of Uncle Gib- son Dodson left its earthly home Sunday evening at 7:45 o'clock, Springdale lost one of the best men who was ever pleased to call ] this town his home. Deceased had been i'll for some six years with rheumatic trouble, a disease which was gradually wearing him away. Several days ago he was taken with an attack of the grip, but was recovering from this, and on Friday was able to be up and go to the table for his meals. A relapse of this disease came on, however, and this, with his other ailment, his weak con- stitution could not resist.
 Funeral services were held at the NJ. E. Church, South, Mon- day afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. P. Mcdonald, pastor of the church, and the remains were inferred in Bluff Cemetery.
 Gibson Dodson was born Tn Warren County, Tennessee, Oct ober 2, 1889. In Lawrence County, this state, in 1865, he was united in marriage to Mary Wasson, who, together with their only children, Dr. C. G. Dodson, and Mrs. Jennie Kicker son, survive him. He is also survived by sister, Mrs. Lucy Mcleod, who resides in Benton County. In 1897 Mr. Dodson re- moved to Benton County where he resided until 1879 when the family came to Sprlngdale, which has since been their home. De- ceased was for four years a sol dier in the Southern army, being member of Go. G., 22nd Arkan- sas Infantry. For eighteen years he had been a member of the NJ. E. Church, South, and was a member of the K. of r.
 Soon after coming to Spring dale Mir. Dodson engaged in the mercantile business, in which lie continued until few years ago, when failing health forced him to give up active work.
 No man stood higher in the es- timation of the people who knew him than Uncle Gibson Dodson. From all intimate acquaintance with him, dating back to the boy hood days of the writer, we learned to admire and respect him. During all those years We never heard him utter profane word or speak unkindly of any one, and he was honored and es- teemed by all as true man in all that the term implies. As mark of respect to the deceased the business houses of the town were closed during the funeral services yesterday afternoon.

SPRINGDALE AS A
 NICE, QUIET PLACE
Then Why Should We Want the
 Interurban !?

Editor News: With other farmers 1 have saw in The News that Springdale is trying to get an Interurban road. When in town last Saturday l was told that over S30O0 had been raised to get 1t. That is a lot of money to pay out and l don't see why you should not get the persim- mon with that pole. 1 notice that the secretary of the Commer- cial Club is taking a hand in the business and it seems to me that IS little out of his "spear." I supposed he would give his time to writing up the town for foreign consumption and tell the United States what fine, prosperous city Springdale is going to be. He could tell about the open hearted, free handed citizens, the beautiful ladies, splendid climate and pure water of the town. Then tell about the apples, peaches and strawberries we raise and by figures double the population and demonstrate in that way that Springdale is ''1t.' , That would be the thing for a commercial club to do, for figures wont lie, though liars will some. times figure.
 You have one railroad to relieve you of all your surplus cash, SC what do you want of another one! You have over twenty stores now and that is enough for one town When we take our eggs to towr we can get IS cents dozen fol them and would have to go al the way to Joplin to get twice as much. Who wants to go to Joplin for Is cents. If you lei the electric road go around you you will have a nice, quiet towr that will be haven of rest fol

The de. bate was won by Oklahoma Prof. Peterson expects to leave to-day for his old home at Rus sellville to visit with relatives, and where he will spend most of his vacation.
 The team to the carriage bear. ing the pallbearers to the funeral services of Prof. Gates at the University ran away on Dickson street throwing the pallbearers against the curbing with great force. For a little while 1t was thought that Prof. Droke was killed, but he was able to resume his duties at the University this morning. Mir. K. l.. Wilson was painfully cut about the face. Hon. Hugh Dinsmore received a sprained ankle and q bad cut on the chin. All the others were shaken up and bruised but with the exception of Prof. Droke and MT. Dinsmore all attended the funeral. = Sentinel.
