Texas Land Dealers Here

Texas land dealers have been numerous about Green Forest lately. Two have called upon The Tribune lately and we have heard of one or two others, all seeking to induce people here to invest in Ca sure thing" in differ- ent portions of the great Lone Star state. The profit is made so re- alis.ic in the manner the subject is presented that one is made to wonder why the agent and his immediate relatives and friends have not gabbled the whole prop osition up long ago.
 There was time when the Panhandle promoter had good thing to offer investors. That was four or five years ago when lands could be bought as low as S2 50 per acre, which has since been "promoted;' up to $9 or S1O per acre. They say it is still go- ing on up and may be it is.
 Skilful "promotion," will work wonders. That has been proven already. Enough of the right quality and quantity of it would level the mountains of North Ar kansas and turn the whole thing into one rich valley.
 We were offered by one agent handsome commission for the exercise of our ''influenee" pro- vided we could induce people to go down, who would invest. All we had to do was to touch the button, they would do the rest. We courteously informed our visitor that we could not be in . terested directly in the develop ment of any country on earth save that portion of the broad expanse immediately surround ing Green Forest, Ark, which may be excelled in some respects, but which averages up so vel we have never been able to fino a more suitable place.
 The Tribune does not condemn these Texas land propositions but we believe that they are bet ter suited to the persons abl { to be classed as an investor than they are to the actual homeseek CT.

At a Critical Period.

That the production of apples in Arkansas as well as in the Ozarks generally has reached a critical period was the statement made by Ernest Walker, profess sor of horticulture, University of Arkansas, in an address before the State Horticultural Society at Sloan Springs two weeks ago. His subject was "The Outlook for Apple. Growing in the Ozarks. .'
 The speaker was optimistic, however, and while predicting the failure and elimination oi the careless and ignorant grower, he believed that much good would result to the industry as a whole by a seperation of "the sheep from the goats.'
 ''The indifferent grower will be forced to abandon apple grow ing and take up lines into which he can throw all his energy. Those who continue orchard work will study their busine ss and become expert orchards ts, '' said Prof. Walker.
 "Only fruit of the highest grade of excellence will be pro- duced or marketed. When that time arrives our reputation as an apple section will be to our pres- ent reputation as sunlight is tc shadow. Reputation for quality creates it's own market"
 "The outlook for apple grow ing in the Ozarks is better today than it has ever been before"
 He urged all farmers and frui growers in Arkansas to take ad- vantage of the information which is furnished free by the expert ment station at the State Uni. versity at Fayetteville.

To Boom Urbanette

Eld. J. w. Fairchild, the "Hardshell' preacher and pulp fisher of Footprints, has associ- ated with him Eld. J. B. Hardy of Croft, Kan, and the two will combine forces not only to build up a big printing establish ment at Urbanette, where the publication has been recently To- cated, but they are fathering a town building scheme by which they aim to bring the unpreten- tious siding at Urbanette up to the importance of town if not more.
 Eld. Fairchild was in Green Forest on Thursday of last week and from him we learned that forty acre tract of land imme- diataly adjoining the station has been purchased by them and that lots will be placed upon the market as quick as survey can be made.
 A fire-proof building for a home for Footprints is to be built immediately after wheat harvest, Eld. Hardy being a large grower of wheat in his home state. Urbanette, however, will probably become his permanent home as he has also in contem- plation the erection of resi- dence there.
 At present Urbanette has a flouring mill and three stores with population of some fifteen or twenty. It is located about ten miles west of Green Forest and probably six miles by rail north and east of Berryville. At present it has no designation on the M. & N. A. folder, but as a depot will be one of the first demands of the town builders, it will doubtless come in for a prominent place on the railroad map soon.
 Eld. Fairchild is very enthusi- asIic concerning the scheme and it is possible that he will land a regular Oklahoma boom. He says that the scheme is not a church movement, but purely a business proposition in which he seeks to interest the wh ole world, so far as religious favoritism is concerned.
 Footprints will take no stock in the enterprise, it being against it's religion to carry advertising of whatsoever kind or advocate anything except matters partain- ing to the doctrine of the "origi- nal church.
 It's prosperity may be increas ed by the movement, however, as it is the intention of it's owners to make the publication weekly instead of a monthly as quickly as their income can be made tc justify it.

Best Stomach
 Kennedy Free

It is an old saying that if the stom- ach is sound the whole body is safe, because so much depends upon the proper working of the stomach. Many persons find themselves with a dis order of the stomach which pro duccs dyspepsia or peculiar state of biliousness.
 If you suffer from both stomach trouble very serious disease. From just such con- ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism, skin diseases and similar disorders. be- cause the waste matter that should have the bowels has found it's way into the blood and vitiated it. What is needed at this point is not simply violent cathartic tablet or salt, which usually does more harm than good. but a gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which people have been using for these ailments for nearly quarter of a cen tury. It cured J. c. Lanham. of War rensburg, Mo, of stomach trouble of long standing, also William Voll, of 903 Ellis trouble for fifteen years.
 However, if you have stomach trouble you want to know from personal experi- encc what Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin to the doctor and free trial bottle will be sent you.. You are urged to send for the free bottle, as the results from it will be the best recommendation of pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Then you will do as over two. million people did last year-go at 50 cents or S1. according to the size you prefer We could mention hundreds and hundreds of families who are never without it.. You can never, tell when some member of the family will need a laxa- tive, and then no time should be lost taking Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.

CHAPTER VIII.

Seldom did, eye rest on a prettier pic
ture than was made by bonnie Maude
Denison this early April morning. The
close-titting French grey merino dress,
with the plain linen collar and cuffs, set
off her beautifully nodded figure to per-
fection, while the cerise neck k-ribbon just
relieves and gives warmth to her some
what neutral-tinted robe. Moreover, that
she had just returned from successful
raid on the conservatory, a snow-white
camellia and its blood-red sister coduet-
tishly twisted in her glossy brown hair,
sufficiently attested-those crown Jewels
of the floral world looking more in place
now than when adorning their parent
stems.

the breakfast room. Only look at the
plunder I've brought you. l found old

NO cross old thing! He thinks flow
ers were made only to look at on their
stems, and not to wear or decorate
rooms"
The entrance of Harold Denison here
checked conversation. He nodded a care

then plunged moodily into his correspond
ence. He found nothing there, appar-
emily, to raise his spirits At length,
thrusting his letters into his pockets, he
rose.

and blacker. It's no use struggling; the
sooner my scheme is tried, the better. Do
what you promised yesterday. Delay is
useless"
But, Harold" pleaded his wife
as the ever-ready tears rose to her eyes.
Don't be foolish. It's our only chance.
Understand" he said, crossing over to his
wife's chair, and lowering his voice so
that his daughter could not catch his
words-"just put it before her in a COM
mon sense way this morning. How can
you tell she will object. She can do as
she likes about it. l have no wish to
coerce her in any way; but, mind, tell her
the whole truth. 1t is only fair the pro-
posal should be laid before her. I'll come
up to your room after luncheon and you
can tell me how she takes it :" and, turn
ing on his heel, Harold Denison left the
room.

Maude, as she stole to Mrs. Denisons
side, and, passing her arms round her
neck, laid her fair, fresh young cheek
against the pale, worn, troubled face.

I suppose; but don't look so fearful over

ABYSSINIAN DETECTIVES.
CuSiOus Experiment Employed to
Find Criminals and Robbers.

a curious diplomatic incident has,
as the Paris Petit Partisan hears from
Abysslnia, occurred at Adds Abab.
According to this story, whenever Il
theft is committed the owner of the
stolen property applies to a sort Of
corporation, known as Lied Actal,"
or seekers after robbers, which sets
Immediately to work in a very simple
and primitive fashion.
The chief of this corporation selects
child, and, in the presence of four
witnesses, gives it a beverage, the COM
position of which is a secret. After
the child has drunk the liquid a pipe
is handed to it, and after a few
whiffs, which have completed the stu
pefaction of the unlucky creature, it is
led out for walk.
When at last the child has stopped
before some habitation, it is promp-
ly and very conveniently assumed that
the theft has been committed by the
tenant, who Is at once arrested. The
chief of the corporation is rewarded
for his share in the detection of the
presumed culprit by commission on
the amount Of the stolen property.
Now, it happened, little while ago,
that the child which had ben pressed
into such service, halted near bit
of ground belonging to European le-
cation. The crowd, which had follow
ed, broke down the inclosure, and the
inclOsure, and the chief of the "Lieb
Actal,' thus encouraged, insisted on
the arrest of an interpreter. The re-
suit has been, as our contemporary
adds, an emphatic protest on the part
of the diplomatic corps, which, al
least, refuses to put faith in this queer
mode Of tracking thief to his lair

could fancy him, it would be well for all

would avert it. She, poor girl, will be-
left but indifferently off should anything

Il will tell Maude when you deem it
necessary" returned the soft voice of his
wife; but, Harold, can't think 1t right ;
though you know best"
You have not thought it over as l
have. Do so, and you will change your
mind said Denison, as he left his wife's
boudoir.
Sadly mused the wife over her hus-
bands communication. Quiet, undemon-
strative woman as she was, yet Eleanor
DenisOn had been brought up from her
cradle thorough believer in the dogma of
caste, and even her gentle nature rebelled
at the idea that daughter of hers should
wed the son of low-born attorney. We
know her passionate idolatry of Maude,
surprising even a mothers love. 1t is
easy to picture the bitter tears she shed
after that mornings interview. She was
a woman naturally given to weeping.
No passionate storm of lamentation,
but a gentle shower of mourning AS

ton, yet | doubt whether he ever left
salter tears running down her cheeks
than he did that bright spring afternoon.
