 ITS ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Alec
 ton is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not

Sometimes 1t is hard to determine whether a, skin affection is a, sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents worth of poslam. Apply this. and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in few days it may be set down as hav- ing been eczema, this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of ecze- ma, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches. letter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch. scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.
 Any one who will write to the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. g West Twen- ty-fffth Street. New York, can secure. or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in itwenty-four hours.

For Faulkner County
 Fair Association

From Tuesdays Daily
 Fifteen hundred dollars additional stock will be sold for the purpose of enlarging the exhibit halls and grand stand and erecting new buildings. This stock must be distributed among as many people as possible, so that everybody who wants to will have an interest in it, for the fair is of the people and for the people. Last year the association made a 15 per cent dividend for its stockholders. This year the fair will be bigger and better and promises to pay even greater than last year. It is a good investment for anyone with a few dol lars and at the same time you will shoaO yOar colors and be one of those worthy boosters who are contributing to the advancement of Faulkner county.
 Shares are sold for $25 each, not over two shares being sold to any one person-eXcept where necessary.
 With each share of stock will be given Free 4 dnissiOn Ticket for the four days of the fair. The free ad- mission which goes with each share is alone equivalent to an 8 per cent divi- dend on the investment. Add this to the estimated dividend of 15 per cent and you have total of 23 per cent in dividends. Quite a nice little in- vestment. So nice in fact, that it beats either the Bank of Conway or Faulkner County Bank stock by about per cent.
 Bank stock, when the banks were first organized, sold for $25 per share and went begging at that. Now you have to go begging for it at $75 per share.
 Stock certificates will be ready by Thursday, May 12. If interested and you want to get on the band wagon, drop card to w. N. Owen, chairman of the committee on stock distribu- tion, and he will take pleasure in giv- ing you any information desired and | reserve stock for you, should you de- sire him to.

GOLD HAS HURT CROPS
COTTON AND CORN SUFFER FROM UNFAVORABLE
 WEATHER.

Warm weather the past two days has done much to revive crop condi- tions in Faulkner county, although until a ood warm rain falls none of the crops are expected to do much good. The dry spell following the unusually cold weather has practical ly put stop to growth, some farmers having planted cotton long enough ago to be worked out which has not yet sprouted. Both corn and cotton has been replanted in many sections.
 Deputy State Agent w. G. Apple and County Demonstrator J. E. Rog- CTS left this morning to make tour over the county, looking over the crops of demonstration farms in the county. MT. Rogers says that pract- ically every farmer in the county is now using the fiat" system of cul- tivation advocated by the government experts Besides 61 actual demonstra- tion farms to which he makes regular visits, MT. Rogers has enlisted over 600 "co-operators" who are cultivat- ing their lands according to printed instructions issued by the government.

BOARD CONTRACTS
 WITH ENGINEERS

Contracts were entered into this morning by the waterworks improve ment district board and the engineer ing firms of Dickinson & Watkins of Little Rock and Dixon Smith Engin- eering Compan yof St. Louis, to su- pervise the construction of the water works system of this city.
