SECOND BIG FARMERS =
RALLY ON SATURDAY

The second rally of Spokane
county farmers in support of the
grand jury investigation of county
affairs will be held at the court
house next Saturday, beginning at
10 a. m.
Posters in red ink have been
hung at various points throughout
the county urging the farmers to
come out, and good attendance
is expected because of the fact that
the bulk of the harvest rush is
now over. A delegation is coming
from Green Bluff with the farm
ers' band of that section.
An invitation has been sent to
J. B. Kegley, master of the state
grange, to be on hand and address
the meeting. The making of ar
rangements is in charge of a com.
mittee appointed at the last grand
jury rally, of which R. B. Martin
of Opportunity is the chairman.
The presbytery of the Presby-
terrain church, which will be in
session here next Saturday, will be
asked to adjourn in order to at
tend the meeting, as the Presby
terian ministers of the city have
evinced a disposition to back the
probe of county affairs.
At it's last meeting the minis
terial association of Spokane adopt

behalf of the county investigation.

Sin q month, or six weeks at the

Have you, captain?" asked

Have l? Not an hour of my
life passes without revolving in
my mind one cherished purpose.
suppose not man among you in
tends to retrace his steps,"
No one replied, and Hattaras
went on to say:
For my own part, even if
must go alone, will push on to
the north pole. Never were men
SO near 1t before, for we are not
more than $50 miles distant at
most; and / will not lose such an
opportunity without making every
attempt to reach 1t. Even though
1t be impossible. What are your
views, doctor?'
Your own, Hattaras"
And your, Johnson"
Like the doctors"
And yours, Bell?"
Captain" replied the carpenter,
lit is true we have neither wives
and children waiting us IN England
but after all it is ones country
ones native land! Have you no
thoughts of returning homer"
I'VE can return after we have
discovered the pole quite as we'll
as before, better even. Our diff
culties will not increase, for as we
near the pole we get away from
the point of greatest cold. We have
fuel and provisions enough. There
is nothing to stop us, and we
should be culpable, in my opinion,
II we allowed ourselves to aban-
don the project"
Very well, captain; I'll go along
with you"
That's right; I never doubted
you." said Hattaras; I'VE shall sue
coed. and England will have all
the glory"
But there is an American among

Hattaras could not repress an
impatient exclamation.
Il know it," he said sternly.

added the doctor.

teras almost mechanically.
And he will be sure to go, too"
He will be sure to go, too; but
who will commando"
You, captain"
And If you all obey my orders,
will the Yankee refuse?'
Il shouldn't think so; but sup.
pose he should, what them"
He and l must fight it out"
The three Englishmen looked at
Hatteras, but said nothing. Then
the doctor asked how they were
to go.

sible," was the reply.
But what if We find open water,
as is likely enough"
We'll, We'll go across it."
But we have no boat"
Hatteras did not answer, and
looked embarrassed.
Perhaps" suggested Bell, 1--WE
might make a ship out of some of
the planks of the Porpoise."
"Never!" exclaimed Hatteras, We
hemently.
Never" said Johnson.

The doctor shook his head. He
understood the feeling of the cap
tain.
"Never!" reiterated Hatteras. "a
boat made out of an American ship
would be an American"
But, captain" began John
son.
The doctor made a sign to the
old boatswain not to press the sub
ject further.
This ended the day, and the
night passed without disturbance.

BANK IS R0BBED
 BY LONE BANDIT
Robber Forces Cashier at Eanderyoort to Hand Over $500 at Poiut
 of Revolver.

Mena, Aug, 13.-A special message from Vandervoort, 2 miles south of Mena, states that a lone highWayman robbed the Bank of VanderVoort of $500 just before 1 o'clock this after noon, and made his escape. Ac- cording to the message, the man walked into the bank and cover- ed Cashier Crane with revol- yer, demanding the money in the cash drawer. Crane was helpless and handed the man the $500 the drawer contained.
 After securing the money the highwayman cooly ordered Crane and another young man who was in the bank to accom- pany him. He threatened them with instant death if they made a move to sound an alarm. Crane and his companion were compell- ed to walk from behind the counter and accompany the high Wayman down the street and across the Kansas City South ern Railroad tracks to the woods at the foot of the mountain west of the town.
 At that point the robber turn ed and ordered his prisoners to go back to town and not to look behind them. He stood and watched them for a moment and then disappeared into the woods. Cashier Crane hurried back and gave the alarm. The people of Vandervoort are great ly excited, and armed posses are securing the country in search of the bank robber.

A LETTER TO TIE
 PICAYUNE READERS
B, F. Steele Writes a Letter Telling of His Trip in Hampstead, Howard
 and Pike Counties.

Mr. Editor:
 thought perhaps it would be interesting to yonr many Pica- yune readers to tell of my trip through Hampstead, Howard and Pike counties.
 1 landed at Highland Station on the P. and N. w. R. R., and my young friend, Mir. Barnes, and went immediately to the Elberta packing house, where they were packing Elbertas at the rate of about 1 cars per day, bringing them S1,000 or over per car. They had employed something near 300 hands, con- sisting of men, women, boys and girls making wages from $1 to $3 per day. The work consists in picking, hauling, sorting tor grading), crating and loading. They gathered from about 1000 acres, several hundred acres bearing it's first crop. There are 1700 acres in orchard. The land is very broken and rocky, with a chocolate red clay foundation. 1t would be a sight to some of our young people to see them in harvest time.
 1 rode down into Pike to look at some property down near the river. We passed another or chard of 300 acres just in bear ing, which is comparatively level. The scenery there is beautiful indeed. From there we passed
The Nevada County picayune., 1909-08-19

over some rough land and on our way to MT. Steans, who has a beautiful farm, level and nice. There we feasted on watermelons and some very fine figs, of which your scribe is strictly fond of.
 From there we returned by way of Cooley Station and saw the 100 acres melon patch from which they were gathering and shipping. This is their first year. At this place they dig out 'of their wells a green sand SUD- posed to be a good fertilizer.
 We drove on to Dr. Walters where we ate Watermelons and took dinner. The Dr. has a beautiful farm, a nice residence anI a large barn well equipped. He deals in Jersey cattle and fine horses. He has the only Peti- greed horse that I know of. Mrs Waters told me that she had a large amount of Jersey butter put away. 1 advised her to make engagements and ship out once a week, which she spoke of ap- provingly. 1 noticed some nice Bluegrass on this farm on which he grazes his fine horse. Besides many other interesting things we saw, he has selt-opening gates, which helps fellow much when he does not like to be 1 jumping out to open and shut gates constantly.
 The corn crop was fine mainly, making from 30 to 40 bushels of corn per acre, without any fertl- lizer. It was very noticeable that where it had been plowed late it was green and the ears were filled out well, otherwise it was not so good and badly fired. It is an undisputed fact that late blowing pays well. The keeping the soil stirred up re- tains the moisture and keeps the ground cool. 1 am glad that l have learned how to make all the corn that I need on 4 acres.

25,OOO ARKANSAS
 BABIES WANTED
To Make Important Test-Color and Sex Not Material Be
 Under Five Years Old.

The most alarming condition con fronting the American people today IS our infantile death race. Statistics com piled from reports of the U $. Govern ment and the State Board of Health of our largest populated states, show that about 37 per cent of our deaths are among children under years of age and 30 per cent under years of age. Of this 30 percent two-thirds or 67 per cent die from Diarrhoae and Enteritis. This means that in a state like Arkan- sas with an annual death rate of 35, 900, 10, 300 are children under 2 years and z, 900 of these die every year with Bac- terial Infection of the Stomach and Bowels, ordinarily termed Bowell Trouble, Diarrhoae, Cholera-lnfantum, Summer Complaint, Teething Troubles, etc. Statistics also show that no other disease produces half as many deaths among people of all ages as does this one disease of "Bowell Trouble" among children under 2 years.
 Appalling as these figures are, how little concern is generally shown in the preparation of Foods and Remedies in all ahOrt to avoid this greatest of all death dealing monsters.
 10 lessen IIllS great IioI Idity diIIOhS children should be the aim of both our national and state government and the effort of every citizen. With this object in view, arrangements have been per fected whereby 25, 900 Arkansas babies, regardless of SEX and color, are wanted during the present summer 1909 to make a personal test of a Baby Bowel Germicide that is claimed by the discov- erers and manufacturers to produce cures in 90 per cent of the cases ind'- eating its use The name of this Germi- eide is Brooks Baby Bowel Balm. !" the constituents of which are given as Laxative, Sedative, Digestive, Neutra- lizing. Aromatic and highly Antiseptic.
 In order that 25, 900 babies through out the state may each have access to at least one bottle, every Drug Dealer in the state has been notified to lay m an amount to supply the demand, and most of them have done so, but if the Druggist or Dealer called upon has not the remedy in stock and will not at once obtain it, the name and address of such dealer should be furnished to the manufacturers who will at once arrange for one or more bottles to be had at some convenient place, otherwise they will send it from the factory by express prepaid upon receipt of price for two bottles 25c each. In this event the ex- press charges alone will equal or exceed the price received but it is intended that every child in Arkansas to the number of 25,000 who have not tried 1t shall give it test regardless of cost.
The Nevada County picayune., 1909-08-19

Each Druggist or Dealer selling the remedy is notified to refund the pur- chase money without question to all parents, physicians or attendants of the child using it and who are not satisfied with results. To all who are satisfied with results and will write to the manufacturers giving their opinion of the remedy and the results obtained from the trial, the manufacturers to show due appreciation will at once mail such party, free, a full s.ze z5c box of either Brooks Medicated Bears Foot Oil or Brook Little Liver-Root Pills, as requested.
 Remember the name Brooks Baby we'll Balm, Manuf'd by the Wm. Brooks Med O.. Russellville. Ark, and distributed by all Drug Johhers
