THREE MEN ARE aOUT.p

Not long ago one Ballinger had
the satisfaction of kicking pinchot
and CLAWS out of the government
service because they pointed out
where the coal lands of Alaska were
about TO be turned over to the Gug-
genheims on fraudulent claims,
thus robbing the nation of hun
dreds Of millions. Then things got
so "scary" for Ballinger that he had
10 retire 70 private life. Now the
government has turned down all
these fraudulent claims, just as
pinchot and CLAWS said it should.
II ever these two felt they paid
big price for their honesty, surely
they may web be satisfied now.
But what Of Ballinger?

AFTER BIG TRACT
Party Inspecting Lands With View
to Colonizing and Building Fac
tories.

Murfreesboro, July IA party
of Missouri, Illinois and Oklahoma
capitalists, accompanied by their
own engineer, photographer, botan-
list and press agent, visited the
Highland peach orchard, near this
place, yesterday. The party was
composed of heads of five colonial
ton companies, who are on a tour
of inspection of southwestern Ar
kansas, where they have been look
ing over crop conditions and rail-
road and industrial outlook, with a
view to buying a large tract of cut
over land for settlement purposes
in connection with establishing an
industrial and manufacturing town.
In an interview, Graham Burn
ham, engineer of Tulsa, said:
Our party is both surprised and
pleased with crop conditions, and
the outlook for this section of the
state we have looked over, and we
hope to find tract of sufficient size
and satisfactory soil conditions and
railroad facilities to enable us to
operate here. We have some 300
families to move as soon as we
settle on a location, and, with sew
eral factories, which include can
ming factory. planning mill, cream
cry and wagon factory and pillow
works, we will either make town
in a day, so to speak, or will give a
decided boom to the town near
which we locate"
Mr.. Durham stated that the
syndicate had several tracts under
consideration from $1,000 TO 25,000
acres each, and one other to look
at on their return for final decision
in about three weeks. An attempt
will be made to interest the syndi-
cate in lands near Murfreesboro
and GurdOn.

Corn must have moisture during
its fruiting period. Therefore cdl-
tivate continuously until il has
passed the roasting-ear stage.
Sow cowpeas in corn at the last
cultivation. They not only produce
an additional crop, but they add to
the fertility of the soil.
The cowpea crop is the cheapest
agent in restoring and maintaining
fertility in the soils Of Arkansas.
The last cultivation of corn
should, under ordinary conditions,
be about the time it is in the roast
ing-ear stage.
The greatest injury of cotton TO
land is due to the fact that the land
is left bare during the fall and win
ter months. In this condition the
land is exposed to washing, leach
ing and other injurious agencies.
These agencies can be overcome by
sowing cover crop of rye or rye
and velch at the last cultivation of
the cotton.
In order to secdre success with
alfalfa, the best of care and at
tention must be paid to the prep
aration of the seed-bed.
If the alfalfa does not do we'll the
first year do not come too hastily
to the conclusion that that par
tieular field is not adapted to it.
The failure might be due to lack
of incubation of the soil. After it
has made futile attempt to grow
for year prepare the seed bed
anew and seed the same ground
again. The inoculating germs intro
duced with the first crop will have
had time TO grow and become more
and the second seeding
may be a splendid success.

CAN'T STANDTHE LICENSE

Memphis, July Fully 200 sal
oons in Memphis will close their
doors before another week passes.
They are mostly Of the corner gro
Gerry variety in localities where
trade is not heavy. This became
evident today by the small number
Of liquor dealers who applied for
the July 1 federal licenses and from
expressions heard among saloonists.
County Clerk Crenshaw today or
dered distress warrants against all
holders of retail federal liquor Ii
censes, calling upon them to pay
$3.50 to the state and county as
quarterly license for doing business.
Fifteen days will be allowed for
replies and if the licenses are not
paid, indictments will be sought, as
was done recently when 1903 per-
sons and firms were indicted. The
state revenue agent will be in
charge of the cases after the f5-day
period.
Since the statewide" prohibition
law went into operation in Tennes-
see the number of saloons in Mem
phis has increased rapidly because
the city did not collect any licenses
except the nominal merchants tax,
and at first the state did not at
tempt to collect the full state IL
cense. Now, however, that the
state and county are after the IL
eenses, despite the fact that the
business is illegal, many of the
smaller places are preparing to

LIGHTNING KILLED CHICKENS.
Family of w. A. Cunningham Wit

w. A. Cunningham, who lives on
his farm south of Mena, was in
town Saturday telling of how the
lightning, during the last storm a
week ago, played havoc with his
chickens.
Just at dusk, and after a half
dozen of his flock had gone to roost
in tree about 10 yards from the
house there was flash and deafen-
ing crack and six big, fine hens
dropped out of the tree and hit
the ground with a thud. Mr.. Cum
ningham's family sat on their porch
and watched the entire performance.
AS soon as they recovered from
their surprise they went out and
found all the chickens dead. One
hen had all the feathers burned on
Of her body. Lightning had struck
the tree and caused the loss in poul-
try.

CHITWOOD ESTATE
WANTS JUDGMENT
New Chapter Written in Famous
Litigation When Attorney Ora
ham Asks for Default Judg-
ment for $i50,000.

Hot Springs, June 28.-Another
chapter was written in the Houpt-
Chitwood litigation this afternoon
when Attorney James L. Graham
appeared in Circuit court and asked
judgment by default against Sid
Houpt and his bondsmen in two
suits that he had brought in the
interests of the estate of Oscar
Chitwood, the prisoner who was
murdered in the yard Of the Gar
land county Jail during the early
morning hours of December 26, 1910.
The suits aggregate $4,000. One
OF them was instituted by Dan
Goodwin, as administrator of the
estate of Oscar Chitwood and the
other by Chitwood's mother, Mrs.
r. A. Wright. The former suit
charges conspiracy on the part
Of John Rutherford, Ben Murray
and others, as deputies acting for
Sid Houpt, sheriff, to take Oscar
Chitwood from his cell in the Gar
land county Jail and kill him, and
in the other Chitwood's mother asks
damages for the wrongful death of
her son.
In the suit brought by Dan God
win, all parties. with the exception
of Sid Houpt, it is said, who were
served with papers, answered sum-
mons and moved to quash proceed :
ings on the ground that the sum-
mons had been served by Sid
Houpt, and he was a party TO the
suit.
Attorney James L. Graham charg-
es that in the suit brought by Mrs.
Wright subpoenas were handed
Sid Houpt, who was then sheriff.
and paid for, and that said service
was never made upon the others
involved in the suit. This charge
was made by Attorney Graham.
when he filed citation for Sid
Houpt to show cause why he should
not be held in contempt of court
for not turning the subpoenas over
to his successor in office.
If the prayer of Attorney Graham
is upheld by the court it means that
all defense in the case on the part
Of Sid Houpt and others involved
in the suit is shut off, and the only
thing that can be inquired into as
to Sid Houpt is how much the jury
will allow for the unlawful death
of Oscar Chitwood as alleged in the
complaint.
Attorney 4. l.. Sawyer heard a
few moments after the request
had been made for judgment by
iefault and fastened to the court
house and indicated that he would
file a motion to set aside the de-
fault judgment.
Others involved in this suit in
elude the bondsmen of Sid Houpt
of which two were responsible for
the indictment of Rutherford and
Ben Murray. Carlton F. Taylor and
Senator Hamp Williams are on Sid
Houpt's bond and were members
of the coroner's jury that investi-
gated the death of Oscar Chitwood,
while Taylor was foreman of the
grand jury that later indicted the
two former deputies.

DRAIN OKLAHOMA GAS FIELD.
Pipe Lines Are Said 10 Be Fast
Diminishing The Supply.

Oklahoma City, June 2S.-That
the gas pipe lines into Kansas since
the restrictions on piping gas out
|of the state have been removed by
the federal court have drained the
heart OF the Oklahoma gas fields
and cut in two the probable life
of the field, was the statement
made before the State Board of
Equalization today by r. H. Bart
lett, secretary-treasurer of the Ok
lahoma, Natural Gas Company
which supplies the gas for con-
sumption in Oklahoma CITY. Gnfh-
RE, Shawnee and other Oklahoma
cities.
He testified that half of the com
pany's S4,000,000 capital stock
had been given in exchange for cas
rights in the Hogshooter field
which the company expected fo
hold as a reserve supply. and that
at that time the field seemed likely
70 last Tor 10 years, but that since
the other big companies had begun
to drain the field it was now 4
question whether it would las. balf
that long, and that since the Kansas
Natural Gas Company started N
use gas from that field the pressure
had decreased from 500 to 360
pounds. ~

LESS WORK IN THE KITCHEN
Drudsery May Be Avoided II Only g
Little Thought is Given to
the Subject.

I think that great deal OF the
kitchen work which people thing the
hardest OF all can be made the pleas
ATTEST with very little trouble. A great
deal of the drudge work in the kteh'
en- comes from disorder. BY a little
systematic arranging the work can be
made very much lighter. ! have seen
a great many instances OF this. BY
systematic arranging | mean that
dishes. saucepans, groceries, utensils
and other things necessary should be
kept each in it's separate place so that
the housekeeper knows where to lay
her hands on anything she needs. The
spices. extracts and cereals should be
kept separately on the shelves. The
dish shelves must be just for the
dishes, all saucepans being kept in q
place set aside for them.
II is very important that the kitch
en- table where the mixing is done be
kept clear of everything. All house
keepers know how things accumulate
In a kitchen. This should be carefully
avoided because this more than any
thing else makes work. AS to dish
washing, If the dishes are well scrapec
and packed up before washing, grea'
deal of time and labor is saved.-Ex

THE victim OF this disease Is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic

without relief. This Is not the fault OF
the physicians he consults. for there Is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one is not victim OF tape

"The most common symptom OF this
trouble Is an abnormal appetite. At

times the very sight of food is loathsome.
