Activity Among Tomato Growers.

The past week has been one of con siderable activity among local tomato growers. Manager Reeves of the Can ming Company has been kept quite busy writing contracts and he thinks the desired acreage will be secured in a short time.
 Several growers have been side track ed by a report that the factory is not contracting to pay but B cents this year. How such a story got start ed is hard to understand as no such a fall in price has ever been contemplated. The price is 40 cents this year, the same as it has been heretofore.
 It is very important that farmers who contemplate contracting do so as early as possible, so that the factory will know what to depend upon.
 Every farmer in the community should grow an acre or so at least. There are many things that the factory can handle in the way of fruits, but the success of the season depends upon the tomato crop. By helping grow tomatoes you encourage better mar ket for other products.

ROUTE ( ro 8E EsTA9-eHEe
Department Passes Ea4orablY Upon Application. Effective Probably
 On the First cf July.

Notice was received ty the Postmas- ter here last Saturday that proposed Rural Route No. out of Green Forest has been passed upon favorably by the department and will be established pro vided at least three-fourths of the 105 families on the route pledge themselves to provide for approved rural mail boxes.
 It is needless to say that the neces- sary pledges will be forthcoming and that the route will be put in operation without delay at this end of the line.
 The route as described in the report of Inspector Leathcrrock to the De partment is as follows:
 Starting at the Post Office the carrier will go
 West to city limits ------=== 58 miles West and northwestcrly on Berryville and Green Forest road to Denton corner 1-4 - North to Mulberry School House -- 3-S Northwesterly and east to Duncan corner r-z--------2 II North to Lovett corner Il East to Hammond corner 1 1-2 North, northeasterly, north westerly, and north to Stewart corner IA Northeasterly, passing Key holds corner and north to Garner orner--------------l SIS East to Humberd corner Il 1-4 South and southeastery to Rhodes corner er---------2 7-8 West and southwesterly passing Hooten corner to Leatherberry corner-------3 Is Southeasterly and south to McCracken corner---.---=-3 3-8 East to Harden corner and south to city limits -------1 5-8 East, south and east to post office e------ 3-4
 30 5-S
The Green Forest tribune., 1911-03-24

It is expected that the route will be put in operation at the beginning of the new fiscal year July 1. There will most likely be lively scramble for the position of carrier, as the salary the place will then carry will be $1,000 a year.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Cat
arrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dillars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be curey by
