NORMAL TEAM DEFEATED
OUACHITA'S SUPERIOR WEIGHT AND TRAINING TOO MUCH
 FOR PEDAGOGUES.

In hard-fought game, replete with thrilling plays and in which interest was maintained at the fever heat throughout, Ouachita College defeated the State Normal School at Hendrix park yesterday afternoon, Is to 0. The green team of the pedagogues made up for their lack in weight and eXpe- rience by fiercely contesting every inch of ground, but the superior team work and precision of the Baptist colle- gians were too much for them. Once in the first half, after rescuing the ball from their own fve-yard line, the Normal, by straight hard football drove it back to the Ouachta 20-yard line, but this was about as close to a score as they got during the game.
 Ouachita was frequently penalized for slugging, off-side and incompleted forward passes. The visitors were successful in circling the Normal ends, but their end runs had litle to do with the scoring. Each attempt to kick goal resulted in failure.

IMPORTANCE OF
 FALL FLOWING
EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT.
 In last weeks article 1 called the attention of the farmers of Faulkner county to the importance of deep fall blowing in order to insure good crops another year. I will try to explain some of the reasons for so doing in this article. In the first place, the sub-soil beneath the surface soil that you have been breaking has become poisoned on account of the pores of the earth being closed so the air could not penetrate; neither can the mois- tule from below evaporate So you see in wet weather a great deal Of your lands become "water-sogged ' and in dry weather the hard-pan be comes so hard that it is impossible for the plant roots to come in contact with the moisture from below Hence, a short crop will generally follow, es- pecially when we have drouth.
 The thing to do is to break your land deep while the sub-soil is dry; sow winter cover crop, or give 1t winter cultivation. Either will assist in restoring life to the dead soil By thus preparing your land you can store enough moisture, and by proper cultivation you can preserve it until your crop is matured. This has been demonstrated this year in this county
 The most of the lands in Faulkner county need humus, The best and
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-11-02

cheapest way to furnish it is to grow leguminous crops, such as wheat, oats, rye, barley, clovers, etc, in winter; and COW peas, potatoes, goobers, soy beans and all such crops in summer and blow under all the grass, stalks and vines you can.
 To build up your land as you should you must diversity your crops. Plant less cotton, but what you do plant, prepare the ground well, fertilize it we'll, cultivate it well. By thus doing you can make as much cotton as you have been making and at the same time you can both improve your other lands and raise bountiful feed crops besides. If the farmers of Faulkner county would grow more leguminous crops and save all the barnyard ma nure they can to place on their lands, they should, there is no reason why they should not make from one to two bales of cotton, and from 40 to 100 bushels of corn per acre. But you can never do this so long as you try to cultivate as much land as most of you have been. We must increase our earning capacity, and before we can do this we must build up our soils, and there is no better time than right now to begin, and when we have done this we will have better country homes, better church and school houses and farm life will be more pleasant and attractive.

NEW BRIDGES
 FAST GOING UP

The new steel bridges being built by the county are rapidly being com pleted, and Judge J. A. Lea hopes that the last of the nine structures will be opened for traffic by the first of the year During the past week the new bridge at Pickles Gap was finished, except for a little work to be done in building the approaches, and the one at Roden's Mill will be completed to- morrow. The erectors will then go to the Cross Roads bridge on the Beebe road, which will be up by the end of

eral doses of epson salts. This should
 be administered by a physician. A cure requires about week, and after
 that there is a wonderful, even revolu-
 tionary change in the condition of the
 sufferer. He is transformed from
 weak, pale, stoop-shouldered physical
 wreck into an energetic, bright-eyed, erect and thriving man, who in few
 weeks more will be strong and robust.
 The hook worm is not primarily a poor mans disease. Many well-to-do persons have been affected by it for years and do not suspect it. It is fact, however, that the poor among
 the farming classes are more liable to infection because the disease enters
 through the soles of the poorly shod
 or bare feet from infected ground. Owing to conditions which prevail in rural communities, one sufferer from the disease pollutes the soil wherever he travels and around his dwelling The hook worm has two lives. In one form it lives as a micro-organism in. the soil, and in this form it enters the human system through the pores of
 the skin. Once in the body, the worms
 work their way to the alimentary ca
 nal fastening themselves to the intes-
 tines. In this form they are like fine
 thread and about an inch long. A writer describes the results of infec- ton as follows:
 "Anaema is the first effect. The skin changes to waXy or dirty vel 1 low, tallow or tan; it becomes parch- 1 ment like, precipitation being more or less suppressed. In chronic cases the skin is atrophied. The patients face shows an anxious, stupid expression; the eyes stare blankly, the pupils are dilated, occasionally there is night blindness. In the neck cervical pulsa- tion, especially in severe cases, is very | evident; sometimes this can be seen l2 | feet from the patient. A prominent | abdomen is common. There is tend tIlNy bO a dSFClOBIAitiiI Ol ctbIlOl iilsll appetite for sour things, or of a per- verted appetite for mud, decayed | wood, paper, tobacco ashes or gar ments. Interest in the commonest af- | fairs wanes. In severe cases there is | a noticeable delay in answering ques- tions; frequently the patient repeats each question before answering"
 The thinking men of the nation be- lieve that the discovery of the hook worm and it's cure will work the indus trial salvation of the south, where the ! hook worm flourishes After thorough | ly Investigating through his experts, J ohm D.
