There will more demands for farm lands in your community in the next six months than has been in the last six years. Isnsist on your people being ready and also insist on them being conservative in prices. They can run good people out by the score by high prices. Where it is possible let them list their land in 40 acre tracts. The people who are coming don't want large tracts of fdu0. IOu ltidy Say opSuh eoiilAuCut- ly.

SMALLPOX PEELED OUT
Brought Home by Chester Davis June 29, Mir. aud Mrs. |. NJ. Davis
 Eliminated Disease.

Mir. and Mrs. l. M Davis of this city have just passed through trying experience with smallpox in their fam fly, and have come off with flying col ors-the disease banished and no trouble to anyone outside their own family.
 June 29 last, Chester, young son, returned from visit to relatives at Stuttgart. He was sick, full of mala- ria and covered with mosquito bites.
 But that wasn't all, a few days later on developed plain case of smallpox.
 The city officials were notified. and, knowing well with whom they had to deal, did not feel it was necessary to establish quarantine or even to post out the dreaded flag. They knew that MT. Davis would take all steps neces- sary to prevent the spread of the dis ease.
 Three weeks after Chester became sick, and after he was well, when it was thought the rest of the family would escape, little Lois, 2 1-2 years old, showed the unwelcome symptoms, fever and nausea. Three days later still, Harry, i7-yeaT-oid son, followed the lead, and week later. Skee, the remaining son, apparently developed the disease, though in his case it did not reach the eruptive point, and he was hardly sick at all Harry, the oldest boy, had only about dozen bumps" and none will bear any marks in future years.
 When the last had gotten well, about two weeks ago, MT. Davis, to use his own words. was tired of being cooped up and decided if there was to be any more of the trouble, they would have it out in the woods" With that, the family was loaded into Mir Davis automobile, and with camp outfit, headed for the Cossatot river below Shady. There they went into camp, fished and enjoyed themselves in the big oat-of doors for ten days. and came home, tanned, hale and hearty. MT. and Mrs. Davis did not contract lthe disease.
 Mir. Davis says that all his life he has had the popular dread of small pox. but since he has met it on famil- far terms he feels somewhat different He says that while they were at home they used in all perhaps four or five gallons formaldehyde, with which they kept the air well impregnated, first in one room, then another. In addition they used creolin by sprinkling ii around the rooms, and solution of the same in the washing of clothes and bedding. He says he believes, by these methods, they simply elimi- mated the disease germs and put an end to It's existence.
 !, One unexpected result has come out of the experience. Both Mir. and |, Mrs. Davis have for several years been sufferers with that common com plaint, catarrh. They both are ap- parently completely cured. a result Mir. Davis thinks, of breathing the formaldehyde fumes so long. these be- ing deadly to all germ life, while not harmful to human beings.
 During all this experience it is safe to say very very few people of Mena ever suspicioned that there was a smallpox case in the city.

FINISH OF STORE CLERKS.

Thomas A. Edison Inventinq a Ma
chine to Do Their Work.
II you are a department store clerk
now's the time to hunt another Job.
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, has
turned his thoughts in that direction,
and his next great invention, he says,
will be the automatic store. When
these plans are complete he hopes to
see statesmen replaced by automatic
vending devices in most stores. The
customer need only walk up to slot
machine, drop in the proper coin, and
his bundle, neatly wrapped, will be
delivered in his hand.
Almost the only employees such a
store would need would be the men
to attend to the machine and those in
the central station to overlook their
operation.
Even admitting that the greater part
Of the goods sold in the average store
cannot be handled in this manner. Mr..
Edison believes that the proportion Of
goods that can be disposed Of by the
automatic plan is SO large that the
cost of store operation will be greatly
reduced. That means under modern
methods of competition that the Gus
toner will get the benefit in his pur-
chase. Nor does Mr.. Edison believe
that the clerks who will be thrown
out Of employment will long suffer.
He points out that with every added
machine to do away with old fashion
ed and toilsome methods more men
and women have been employed and
at higher wages. This has been the
experience of the past half century,
during which time machines have
largely supplanted manual methods.
