How to Kill Elm.

We reprint it for the benefit and for every reader of this pa per. We urge all of them to get busy and kill flies, for flies kills more people than any other agency. If you do not kill the flies they will kill you.
 It is important that the agency used to kill flies, that get into your home be non-poisnous or not dangerous to human beings Especially is this true in homes where there are children. A per cent solution of bichromate of potassium made up with water and sweetened with sugar, an6 placed in shallow dishes through out the house, will kill the flies and will not harm the children should they get hold of it.
 This is cheap and may be be obtained at any drug store A ? per cent solution of cobalt chloride may be used. It is non poisonous, but is more expen sive and hard to obtain.
 Spraying ponds of water witf kerosene will destroy the larvae of mosquitoes, and used in the same way in garbage boxes vii destroy the larvae of flies-Mor rilton Democrat.

POULTRY RAISING
Arkansas State Fair Doing Much te Encourage and Foster the Great
 Industry.

The Arkansas State Fair is do ing a splendid work in the en- couragement of the poultry in dustry in this state and is plan ming to make it's campaign along this line still more vigorous and effective. Over four thousand chickens and fowls were exhib- tied at the State Fair last year and much larger number will be on exhibition at the fourth annual fair, to be held at Hot Springs. Octaber ' to IS.
 The State Fair Association has formed close cooperative alli- ance with the officers and mem bers of the State Poultry Asso- citation, and with their assistance will hold a poultry show this fall that will be pride of the entire state.
 In addition to the various class es included in the premium list heretofore, the following innova- tlon will be made this year, viz. :: Barred and white Plymouth  Rocks, White Wyandottes, Single Comb Rock Island Reds, Light Brahmas, White and Brown Leg horns, also White, Black and Buff Orpingtons.
 The premiums have been re- vised and the distribution made on a basis which the poultry rais- CTS consider more equitable than therefore. The efforts of the State Fair in the future will be directed more largely toward the encouragement of Arkansas breeders than catering to fancy exhibits from non-residents.

 The construction of the rice mill is affording day laborers, who live in Carlisle, a vast amount of profitable employ ment, Be it said to the credit of the rice mill company, that it re fused to let the contract for the building of the mill to out of town contractors who would, no doubt, have brought all their labor from other places, thus preventing the employment of honest and deserving home la- bor.

g -umber of papers from over the state are criticising Gov Donaghey for appointing Hon. H. l.. RemmeI, on the New State Capitol Commission. This is wrong and should be withheld. God knows we have had enough strife along this line. Do not be so near-sighted, brothers, as to forget that we are all American Citizens and that we should work for the common good of all. Gov. Donaghey has no doubt made mistakes along other lines but he should be complimented rather than censured for his action in this matter.

Truth is mighty at all times, but
no where does it count for more than
in the business world. Watch the
boy starting in life who tells the

the end he will outstrip those who
are ready to evade the question or
are trying to deceive. The moment

ISAAC YATES, DOOMED TO DE, TAXES
on WEIGHT ONPRIsON GRUB.

MoundsSlle, W. Va, August s.
With death sentence hanging over
you, don't you think that you'd
worry yourself into a semblaDce of a
living skeletons Perhaps. That
there is a doubt about it, the exam
pie OF Isaac Yates, who Is confined
in the state penitentiary, condemned
to die next month may be cited.
Upon his arrival at the state peniten-
tiary, Yates weighed 1T pounds.
Today he tips the scales at exactly
III pounds. The fact that he is soon
to give up his life for crime he has
committed does not seem to have any
effect on either the physical or men
tai condition of the man.
He is always apparently happy and
contented and seems to worry not at
all over the fact that he IS to be
hanged. The fact that a man may
gain fifty-four pounds in about
three months, while living in the
shadow of the gallows is almost an
unprecedented occurrence. The rea-
son for Yates calmness and apparent
happiness lies in the fact that he is
expecting reprieve from the govern
or of the state, but even at that, how
many men out of a hundred would
not be worn to a mere shadow from
the suspense and worry incident to
the trial and conviction through
which this man has passed;
That Yates has either got supreme
control over his worrying apparatus
or else his mentality is such that he
is incapable ofworrying, would natur-
ally be the general conclusion of the
majority of people, for even if
lighter sentence than that of death
were certain instead of possibility
there are very few men who could
gain weight while waiting for death

SENATOR BOB TAYLOR.

Doyou sometimes forget and wound
the hearts of your children with
frowns and dagger of cruel words,
and sometimes with blow: Do you
sometimes in your peeviShneSs and
your own meanness, wish yourselves
away from their fretful cries and
noisy sports? Then think that to-
morrow may ripen that very wicked
wish; tomorrow Death may lay its
icy hand upon little futtering heart,
and it will be stilled forever. lis
then you will miss the sunbeam and
the sweet little flower that reflected
heaven upon the soul. Then cherish
the little ones; be tender with the
babes; make the home beautiful. All
that remains to US of paradise lost
clings about the home. Its purity,
its innocence, its virtue are there,
untainted by guile, unclouded by
sin. There woman shines scarcely
dimmed by the fall, rejecting the
love of Eden's first wife and mother,
still glorify home.

BRAIN LEAKS.

The worry bug causes a lot of I'M
necessary trouble.
One of the hardest things in the
world to do is nothing.
1t is often harder to do right than
it is to refrain from doing wrong.
a baby's cry is the surest way of
causing a pause in the worlds rush.
There is something wrong about a
man when it is necessary to make
him good by law.
If some successful business men
were as crooked in their business as
they are in their politics they would
soon land in Jail.
Some of these days well be rich
enough to have an old-faShioned rag
carpet on the floor of room that is
our very own.
Marriage is not failure in the case
of the man who isn't afraid to take
friend home for dinner without
first notifying his wife.
1t makes US mad to see some lazy,
well-fed animal trainer bow and smile
when we applaud the intelligent eff
forts of the animal.
Your shadow is always behind you
when you face the sun. Your troub-
les will be behind you if you turn
your face to the future.-Will N. |

SAYS.

In reply to what he terms the mis-
representations of democrats in the
papers," Champ Clark, leader ofthe
minority in the house of representa-
tiyes today gave out a statement re-
sarding the course of the democratic
members Of the house in connection
with the consideration of the Payne
tariff bill. Clark is angry because
some papers of his own party have
stated that the democrats were not
united, and that had they stuck to-
gether they could have defeated the
conference report. He says the
democrats in congress are more unit
ed than ever before. He claims
that the tariff bill is not revision
downward and that the average rates
are 9 per cent higher.
