The Forrest City times., 1912-10-18

That part of the huam family that moves from one locality to another for the purpose Of making new home, may be divided into three classes, to- wit: Those who owning land in locali- ties where real estate has reached its maximum value, sell it and reinvest elSewhere: those who reach adult age ! and go out into the world to do for themselves; and those who seek eli mate less rigorous than where they 1 live.
 Few people who are foolish enough to abandon the independence, the comfort and freedom of the farm for city life or are unfortunate enough to be born and raised in a city, ever seek home in the country, no matter how fruitful the soil may be or how comfortable the surroundings may be made.
 To those, then, who know the farm already we must present the adyan- tageS of St. Francis county.
 As the farmer must get his living through the returns that the soil upon which he lives, gives for the labor he expends upon it, his first inyestiga- tion is directed to the soil of any To- cality tn which he is invited, it's fer tility. it's character, it's topography, and it's elevation.
 In all of these attributes St. Fran , cis county is largely ahead Of the average of the United States, and fully the equal of the best. It can be truthfully claimed that every acre in the county is either sandy loam or clay loam. And to the experienced farmer this means soil that is easily cultivated and drought resisting in the highest degree. While our annual rain fall is about 50 inches, and well distributed throughout the crop sec tion, when unusal conditions prevail there is no such thing as total failure. In the season now closing we have ample proof of this. With the excess sive rainfall in the early spring. which is always the case in years of flood in the Mississippi river, planting of all crops was delayed until the season was far advanced. Then with drought following in the summer, conditions were as unfayorable as nature ever made them for us.
 We are now in the midst of the har- vest. and know what the yield IS. The corn crop approaches closely the average yield Of the United states. The cotton crop is fully three-fourths of a normal one, and is equal to that grown in the eastern part of the cot ton belt, where commercial fertilizers

HEPBURN, FATHER
FOOD LAW, DEAD
Aged Statesman From Idaho
Passes Away at Apartment
in Washington.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Wei
don B. Hepburn of Idaho died at his
apartments here yesterday after pro-
longed illness. a complication of dis
eases involving the heart and kidneys
was the cause of death. He was so
years of age and had been in the SEN
ate since 1908.
Senator Hepburn was known as one
of the standpat republicans in the
senate and was the unrelenting foe of
the initiative and referendum and
other progressive measures advocated
by his colleague in Office, Senator
BOrah
When the first Lorimer investiga-
ton was started in the senate Mr..
Hepburn was named as one OF the
committee. He stood with Lorimer
through the investigation and voted
against unseating him on both Occa-
sions when the vote was taken.
Senator Heyburn's home was at
Wallace, in the heart of the Occur
d'Alene mining district in Idaho, and
his connection with the mine owners
made him bitter enemy OF the union
miners in that locality. ffe carried
his prejudices against labor unions
into the senate and about three years
ago he attracted attention throughout
the country by moving not to receive
a petition which was addressed to
the senate by the American Fedora
tion of Labor. On one of his colleagues
calling attention to the fact that any
citizen of the United States had a
right to petition congress, Senator
Hepburn asked if there was a mem
Der in the senate who would vouch
for the citizenship of Samuel Gompers,
as he did not believe that Gompers
was a citizen.
The pure food law is practically the
only measure of importance connected
with the name of Senator Hepburn. He
prepared the original draft of that law
and worked industriously TO have it
passed.
Weldon Brinton Hepburn was born
in Delaware county, Penn, in 1852, Of
Quaker stock Ills fathers family
came TO this country from Northum-
bCrland, Eng ana, and his mothers
family came 10 this country with VIII
liam Penn. He received an academic
education and was admitted to the
bar in Pennsylvania in 1876.
He went west and settled in Sho-
shOne county. Idaho, in 1888, where he
took an active part in republican poll
tics. When the free silver craze seiz-
ed the western country in 1895, many
Of Senator Heyburns republican
friends deserted the party and joined
the free silyerites. He refused to be
swayed from the principles of his
party and became the republican
nominee for congress in 1903, and was
defeated because of his opposition to
free silver.
When free silver became a dead is
sue and his old friends returned TO
the republican fold, he became a can
didate for United States senator in
1902 and was elected. He was re
eleced in 1903 and had three years to
/ serve at the time of his death.

Playing With Fire.
In the autumn there are fires
started by sparks from burning piles
Of leaves in city streets Leaves should
be hauled away. Burning them on
the streets Injuries the pavement,
frightens horses and sometimes sets
fire to the clothing of children.
For a child to make bonfire of
any kind of rubbish is always dan
gerous because sparks from it may
Set fire to houses or stables nearby
1t Is dangerous to the child, too, for
his clothes are likely to get afire.
In a newspaper is this story of a
little girl: 1.-The child together with
a group of friends was playing about
the bonfire when her clothes caught
fire and she was completely covered
by mass of flames. Her screams
brought her mother, who ran to her
aid and succeeded in putting out the
flames, but not until the childs bod.
was terribly burned from head to
foot. She was hurried to the hospit-
al, where she suffered until death
came in the evening"
If girls play near open CRATES their
skirts or aprons are likely to be
drawn to the open fire and ignited.
While playing little old woman" a
Springfield girl of 6 got upon a chair
to reach penny on the mantle. The
long apron she wore was drawn to
the fire. Before she could get down
from the chair her clothes were flam-
ing A lady hearing her screams came
and quickly wrapped rug around
her. But it was too late, the burns
were SO deep that she soon died.
Playing with powder or kerosene
Is very dangerous. A boy found a
shell made for use in a shotgun
opened It and put the powder into
bottle. To see it explode, he drop.
ped lighted match into it, and his
face was badly burned.
Children who play with fire near
ly always burn their homes or them
selves.
