Harnessing White River.

Jesse LewA!len of Ciaco and wife re- turned Tuesday from small tour of the country, having visited with their son Bert, who is agent at Olvey, and with relatives and friends over near Forsyth, Mo.
 MT. LeWAllen tells us that he visited the scene of the proposed power plant on White River near Branson, Mo-, and from his descriptions of the opera tions it is evidently going to be one of the greatest undertakings of the south west
 A forty-foot dam is to be constructed, which will submerge about 800 acres of White river bottom, covering the en- tire scope of country from Branson to what is known as the Mckinney place. 9 distance by water Of about 15 miles,
 Negotiations are in progress at the present trying to get settlement with the farmers for this land. The com pany is offering $65 per acre, while the owners are contending for $100. No settlement is yet in sight
 Work is progressing in the way of surveying and general preparation for construction work, as though every thing has been arranged. A survey for an electric line to Springfield, Mo-, is in progress and the clearing of the right of way for same has already been commenced.
 The promoters of the giant enter prise claim that they will have their power developed ready for business within three years. They expect to extend their lines throughout a large portion of the Ozark region, furnishing power for every purpose for which power is needed.
 Green Forest is within easy reach of this power plant, it being cross coun- try distance of about twenty-five miles. If somebody else don't get busy before hand we can get our electric lights from that direction.

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR
1t Reflects Local Enterprise and Pub lie Pride. 1t stimulates Public
 Progress.

If your county is going to have a fair this fall, give it your actual and moral support. Be one to do some thing towards it's success You can select something from among the best of your products to exhibit. Take it to your fair. You may win prize, and if you do it will stimulate others to better efforts. The county fair is to the industrial nature of a commit nity what a good school is to it's edu cational nature, and a big revival to it's moral nature If you don't win prize you will be stimulated by the success of your neighbor, and make better efforts next year. Every good county fair is worth to it's county ten times what it costs. The county fair should also be made an auxiliary of the state fair. It should be a feeder tc the State Fair as the short lines are to the trunk lines of railroad. From the county fair the best ex- hibits should be sent to the State Fair. That helps to put your county and town on the map, and advertise it to the world. Who can tell the amount of money and thrifty immi- grafton a good exhibit at the State Fair may bring to your section. This is the way to build up your section and promote the common prosperity of your people.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE
 STATE FAIR?
Arkansas Were Waking Up and Getting in the Procession of Prog ress With Other Hustling States?

As citizen what do you say about this? AS farmer, merchant, manu- facturer Or professional man, what do you say? Do you want to see the Arkansas State Fair grow in extent of exhibits and widen in scope of in fluence and usefulness? How much have you helped in the past to bring this about, and how much are you going to do along this line this year? Let us have a little quiet heart-to- heart talk about it. Every progress sive state in the Union has state fair. Most of them have great expo sitions. They have been made so by popular interest taken by the people and by liberal legislative aid Moth ing inspires and stimulates progress sive effort, imparts industrial educa- tion or introduces advanced methods of production, like a high-class public fair. No agency is more potent as an advertising medium to attract the at tention of the world to the resources and advantages of a state or section of a state. To all of this you readily
 
 right now, to become factor in the Arkansas State Fair this year? Don't think of it as a Hot Springs fair It was never so designated. It is local to Hot Springs only in the fact that it is held there. But this is a for tunate circumstance to the state, for more strangers from all sections of the country visit Hot Springs, than any other city in the state, and hence have a chance to learn of our mar vicious resources, which otherwise they would never hear of. While the citizens of Hot Springs have at their own expense maintained the fair for six years, their design is, and has been, for it to be in all respects what the name implies-a State Fair. Can't you show something worth while at the fair this fall? Won't you do so? At least, you can attend and see the big show. Write for a premium list.

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS
At Arkansas State Fair for Safety
 and Comfort of Visiting Public.

Although the Oaklawn fair grounds at Hot Springs are high and dry, and are not used during the year for any thing except the State Fair in Octo Der, being therefore in good natural sanitary condition, yet the manage ment will have the entire grounds, including the exposition palaces and stock stables, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected just before the fair opens. Thus the visiting public will be invited into a clean house. The main buildings will also be freshly painted and otherwise made attrac- tive. Exposition palace is equipped with large toilet room, equipped equal to the best hotels, with water pipes and sewer system. for the free use of the public.

Green Forest School Gets State Aid

Green Forest School Gets State Aid.
 Green Forest High School will be one of the benefciaries of the $40, 900 appropriated by the last legislature for state aid to high schools.
 This is about the extent of the information we have upon the subject at the present time. This was con- tained in a telegram from the state board received Wednesday. The wire also stated that Berryville will also participate in the fund, thus giving Carroll county the distinction of having two of these Universityi preparatory schools.
 Prof. Burney went to Little Rock to urge Green Forests claim to portion of this fund and through his influence the board rule were modified so as to include Green Forest, the towns school population and the assessed valu- ation of property failing to come up to the requirements.
 It Is expected that we will receive the limit allowed any one school, which is $890 annually, from this fund
 Later: The Little Rock Gazette of Wednesday brings the information that Green Forest gets only $850. While not prepared to speak officially upon the subject, it looks like the Green Forest school board will not be able to accept the offer, as the sum is not suf- ficient to enable us to maintain an eight months public term which is one of the conditions upon the aid is eX- tended

LAXATIVE SENT FREE TO TRY

tive-tonic that does not gripe-effec- tive and yet so mild that babies can take it. Its tonic ingredients invig- crate the body and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they again do their work naturally. If you have been a victim of salts, pills and strong cathartics you will discard them when you once use Syrup Pepsin.
 You can buy a fifty cent Of one dollar bottle of any druggist, but be- fore doing so you may want to try it free If so, send your address to Dr. Caldwell and he will promptly for ward a free sample bottle. Then, be- ing convinced, do as others are doing and buy it in the regular way of your favorite druggist.
 For the free sample address Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 402 Caldwell building, Monticello, III.
The Green Forest tribune., 1911-08-18

It may be taken for granted that there is no family that does not some time need a laxative. If you don't know of a good laxative, or the laxa- tive you are using is losing its effect, we want to call your attention to Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which thou sands of families are using success fully.
 We have scores of letters from mothers, and scores from prominent men saying they are using it person. ally and giving it to their families, men like Mir C. K Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and MT. George B. Turner, a lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The thou sands of mothers who use 1t them selves and give it to their children would take too much space to men tion
 The reason they prefer Syrup Pep Sin is that it is a mild, gentle laxa-

MISS FAY BUELL.

Owing to the absence of Merchant Ben Harbert, who is buying goods in St. Louis, there will be no count of the piano votes this week, as had been ex- pected, but the count will surely ap- pear again next week.
 This contest is proving to be the most popular proposition ever sprung in Green Forest. It looks now like "nip and tuck" race among almost if not quite dozen contestants.
 But, why should it not be popular? A chance to win an elegant piano for little hustling is scheme that any young lady in the community can well afford to give attention.
 The instrument is of class that will grace any home in the community. Any musician will tell you it is dandy.
 To be sure that he was getting a square deal, MT Harbert had the piano shipped him subject to inspection and he had several judges of pianos ex- anime it before signing up for it's pur- chase.
 The campaign promises to be warm enough to register 100 in the shade from now until the close and you can now point out the winner if you are sure you can name the girl who is go- ing to hustle the hardest. The piano awarded in Harrison last week, The Times says, went as might have been expected, to the girl who worked the hardest. 1t will be so in this case. Contestants, who have been still So far, had better get busy.
 If you expect to be in the race to a fniah better let us have your photo graph. We will take your promise 10 secure the requisite five subscribers to the paper.
