WHEATLEY PROSPERS.
Talk of Greater Things for
 The Prairie City.

That Wheatley -just 5 miles east of Brinkley should have talk en such a spurt in growth within the short space of a year or two is surprising even to the enter prising Wheatley boosters who started the movement.
 The immense rice mill and electric power plant that is about to be finished is one of the finest and largest plants in the south.
 Think of people 5, 6 and 8 miles out on the prairie having electric power furnished them to use on their farms and that too in the year 1909.
 It is being talked that the power plant are contemplating extending their feed lines to Brinkley during the coming year. Huddreds of people are visit ing Wheatley every week looking at our rice lands and wonderful opportunities.

TO0TS TO KEEP WOLVES OFF
Freed Trembonist Entertains Pack of Hungry Beasts Until Rescuers
 Arrive.

Chippewa Falls, Wis.--History re. peatei itself here the other day when the adventure of Orpheys in the pit oi lions was experienced by John Bates of Flambeau, just above this city though the lions in this case were wolves.
 Bates, who plays in local cand at F.ambeau, was on bis way home late and he found he was followed by a pack of wolves As he had five miles to travel, he hastened his pace and attempted to reach the nearest farm. house. The wolves increased their speed to equal his and Bates climbed a tree.
 Finally he happened to think of his instrument, a trom bone, which he car ried under his arm, and began to blow as well as his exhausted condition would permit. This had the effect of quieting the advance of the beasts, and he continued to play until some late travellers came to his rescue.

TESTED BY OVER c0,0OO ARK. BABIES. Report cn Important Test-- Shows Wonderful Re. cord. Offer of $l,OO0,00 for
 Improve
 ment.

September 1st, ended the 5 months test of Brooks Baby Bowel balm, under the pro- position in the much advertised article, "25, ,OO0 ARKANSAS BABIES WANTED"
 The extent to which it has been taken advantage of, is full iy demonstrated by the fact that, from the best estimates obtainable, instead of 25,060, fully 60, GOO Ark. Babies having given this Gerrnicide a test un- der this proposition.
 The result of this test the fol- lowing statement verifes:
 We The Wm. Brooks Medi- cine Co.,, proprietors of Brooks Baby Bowel Balm hereby state that we have manufactured and sold this remedy with great success for over 10 years, always guaranteeing every bottle to give satisfaction or money re- funded without question as provided by our Refund Draft enclosed in every package. We nave given much time and thought to perfecting the for mula of this remedy, by care fully watching the results of it's use and making valuable ad- dition wkere indicated, the last addition being made about 2 years ago, after which to all ap- pc earances perfection had been reached.
 The rest sumner Wes decided to make a special test of its merit on 25, ,CO0 Ark. Babies, thereby, if possible, arriving at a ger cert cf cures CT failures cn which to base our calculations. It will be remembered that in this I rercsiticn we oily made claim of 90 per cent of cures for, Fsty Palm, although we fully lelieved it would run higher. To our great surprise however, We have to report that from the large stock of Baby Balm on the market in Ark. and other states, remaining unsold from 10 years wholesale distribution, and from the large amount sold and used in Arkansas this season under our special test proposition, not one failure to cure has been re- ported to us during the year 1909 and not one request for refund of money under our guarantee, but to the contrary reports of phenomenal cures have been great.
 Having lad 20 years practical experience in prescription and laboratory work and carefully studying the therapeutic action of ccmrounos, we feel sure that we know the great value of this compound, and its wonderful record of cures warrants the opinion that it is not only equal on the market or in private use and we will give $1,000,00 for a prescription CT formula that will produce a greater per cent of cures than Baby Balm. We will also give $1C0 for a case of Bowel Infection in children, that will rot yield to Baby Balm if given consistently under our specific directions from the be- ginning.

and if it is found that they have
secreted no pearls they get full pay
for the time employed, which is
such a small sum that one wonders
why they work at all.
Makatea is one of the pearl is
lands, and all through the group
are others, but strange as it may
seem all of these islands do not con-
tain pearl oysters, yet all of them
have oysters. In addition to the
pearls the shells are valuable, for
the mother of pearl on the inside of
the shell is used for manufacturing
knife handles and similar articles
After the shells have been thor
oughly searched for pearls they are
thrown into q heap, and then ear

weights above mentioned, but, as
already stated, this has not been
guess work with me, as it has been
necessary here, in connection with
our experiment work, to weigh all
the feeds used for live stock on the
experiment station. | can testify
that under such treatment our
horses have always looked well,
while they have been obliged to
put in a good ten-hour day through
the season of the year when they
had work on the land.
Contractors and draymen who do
heavy work will tell YOU that a
horse works better if he is not fed
too much hay. One especially
careful and successful contractor
that we have in mind never feeds
hay to his horses in the morning
or at noon, but feeds about fifteen
pounds at night. He claims that
on this ration he can get much bet
ter work out of his horses than if
he kept his hangers stuffed with
hay, and his horses always look
well.
BY overlooking hay you not only
injure your horses, but you also
waste hay that is always wsrth
good money. Remember that it is
not what an animal gets down in
to his stomach that gives him health
and strength, but that it's only
that part that he fully digests and
Think this over carefully and
test it for yourself You know
that there are some facts that are
better than our own ideas at least, -
