EASY TO PAY INCOME TAX.
That Is, 1t Will Be Easy to Find
the Collector


1t will interest Dawson's citizens
who have incomes of $4,000 and up
wards to know that the treasury de-
partment at Washington is preparing
for food of questions concerning the
new income tax, realizing that this
feature of the tariff bill, about to be-
come a law, strikes more intimately
at the tax paying citizen than do the
direct taxes collected through Gus
toms duties. One of the first steps
taken will be to distribute income
tax blanks through postoffices, inter-
nal revenue offices and other federal
agencies.
However, the fact that one does
not receive a blank or a request to
pay the tax will not exempt a taxa
BILE person from the penalty of the
law.
Any person who keeps familiar
with his business affairs during the
year should have no difficulty in exc
cutting his tax return.

Don't Let Baby Suffer With Eczema
and Skin Troubles.

Babies need a perfect skin-cover-
ing. Skin eruptions cause them not
only intense suffering, but hinder
their growth. DIR. HObsOn's Eczema
Ointment can be relied on for relief
of suffering babies whose skin erup-
tions have made their life miserable
"Our baby was afflicted with break
ing out of the skin all over the face
and scalp. Doctors and skin special
lists failed to help. We tried Dr.
Hobson's Eczema Ointment and were
overjoyed to see baby completely cur
ed before one box was used" writes

Hill cemetery will be erected by the
Mary Brantley chapter United
Daughters of the Confederacy to

as their special line of work for the
year at a largely attended and en-
Ithusiastic meeting held Friday after
noon at the home of the president.
Mrs. B. NJ. Davidson. All agreed to
devote their energies toward swell
ing the fund Already very liberal
contributions have been received
from two loyal members, Mrs. j. M.
Griggs and Mrs. T. B. Raines, and
several others promised to contrib
ute generously soon. 1t is their aim
to have it completed by next Memo
rial day. The president appointed
Mrs. ]. R. Mercer chairman of this
committee with the power to select
her committee While it is not in
tended to circulate a list for contrt-
buttons the Daughters will gladly
receive any amount that may be Civ
en- to help them in their patriotic
undertaking.

money to many patriotic enterprises
and will do the same again this year.

pensed with its business the program
was in charge of Mrs. T. B, Raines,
which was both instructive and en-
PERTAINING. She gave a delightful
talk on recent visit to Chattanoo-
ga and Look Out mountain, and for
the love she bore her chapter pre-
scented it with a beautiful rustic CAV
ell made from mountain laurel. The
president, in few we'll chosen words, |
thanked Mrs. Raines in behalf of the
chapter for the gift.

ARKANSAS new GOV.
TO AID STATE MILITIA

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-Gov. G. w.
Hays states that he will devote con-
siderable time to the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard, and expects to increase
its efficiency to as near that Of the
army as it is possible for state mi
litia to be. He will insist upon re-
ports showing the number of drills
of the companies and complete
monthly accounting of all supplies is
sued to the companies by the govern
ment. He will also insist upon prose-
cution of the persons who destroy CT
appropriate to their own use property
issued to them by the government.
Gov. Hays is friend of TIE guard,
and says that the only way to protect
and make it efficient, is to treat it Sc
verely, applying the rules of the reg
ular army to the citizen soldiery. He
will also encourage the recruiting of
new companies until the state boasts
of two full regiments.

$50 BOYS Will TAKE
AGRICULTURAL COURSE
TO BE GUESTS OF LITTLE ROCK
FERTILIZER CONCERN FOR
TWO WEEKS.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-THE scene at
Little Rock College Monday morning
was very much like that of the open
ing day of the school year. One hun
dred and fifty boys, from all over Ar
kansas, arrived at that institution to
stay two weeks as the guests of the
Arkansas Fertilizer Company. 1t was
not a noisy bunch of boys, even
though the clear complexion of the
youths, showing the effects of l;fe in
the open air, indicated they were full
of vim and could make it noisy if they
chose to do so.
The boys were assigned to rooms in
the dormitories, to places at the tables
in the dining hall, and told when they
were expected to be on hand for lee
lures The faculty of the University
of Arkansas agricultural department,
number of professors from the four
agricultural schools of the state, be-
sides the government experts, were on
hand to map out the course of study
for the two weeks
While the principal object of the
school is to instruct the boys in the
use of commercial fertilizers and to
demonstrate the value of them, the in
structors will give a short course in
agriculture as WELL The boys will not
be instructed in the use of any partic-
ular fertilizer, but will be taught the
manner in which to determine the ele-
ment most needed for the different
kinds of soil, and then how to procure
and apply it.
The boys come from the corn club
winners in the various counties. They
will be entertained with ball games,
boat rides, theater parties, and in 9TH
er manner by the business men of Lit
tie Rock. One day all manufacturers
of fertilizer in the south will meet
with them, and the representatives of
the girls canning club, as we'll as
county farm demonstrators, and big
field meet on the Little Rock College
campus, will be a feature of this days
program.

COTTON EXPERT SAYS
CROPS ARE DAMAGED

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-Though re-
ports have been coming to Little Rock
for weeks about the excellent condi-
ton of the crops, the reports of the
past few days, and the damage being
done by the hot winds, is alarming
A cotton expert from one of the local
mills spent Wednesday in Clark coun-
ty, and brings back the report that Id
visited sections where the wind had
reduced the crop so per cent, by dry
ing up the stalk. AS the hot winds
are such recent thing, reports as to
the extent of the damage have not yet
had time to reach Little Rock, but it
is feared they will cause material re-
duction in the condition of the best
cotton prospect the state ever had.

infant PARALYSIS
CARRIED BY FLIES
AND ST. LOUIS PLY
SICIANS DISCOVER ANOTHER
REASON TO "SWAT FLY"

st. Louis, Aug. 9.-The United
States Army Medical Corps will aid
in the investigation of the causes of
infantile paralysis, in the study of
which DR.. E. w. Saunders of ST.
Louis and Dr. w. E. Wisdom of De-
Queen, Ark, have made notable dis
coveries. The discoveries, tending to
show that infantile paralysis is fly
born disease originating with timber
neck chickens and transmitted in the
larvae of flies, have attracted wide at
tention among scientific men. A fund
now is being raised by subscription,
through a committee of the st. Louis
Medical Society, to carry this inquiry
further. A letter from Dr. Blue, sur
geon general of the United States ar
nv. addressed to DR.. Darlington of
the United States Marine Hospital
here has been turned over to the COM
mittee. In it the surgeon general says
that he has been informed of Dr..
Saunders researches and has in
structed the army physicians to be on
the lookout for any information that
may throw light on the new theory.
A letter received from DR.. Wisdom
SAYS he has been informed that case
has been traced to causes that indicate
it was transmitted from "limberneck"
chickens by the larvae of flies. He
will investigate Immediately,

URGES PARENTS TO
SEND THEIR BLIND

Little Rock, Aug. Gearing Of
they are parted from their blind chill
dren, to send them to the State School
for the Blind, they will never see them
again, accounts for the failure of a
number of parents of blind children to
send them to that institution, is the
opinion of Judge Rand Love of the
State Board of Charities.
Judge Love has been making
tour of Arkansas, going into the re-
mote regions in an effort to have the
80 blind children who are not enroll
ed at the blind school, sent to the in
stitution this fall. He has visited
over so families, and with the single
exception of one, which expects to
move out of the state, all have prom
Used to send the children. Judge Love
has explained that the children will
receive railroad fare, their clothes and
be cared for during the school year at
the expense of the state.
Most of the parents apparently
considered trip to Little Rock an ex-
ertion of a lifetime, and out of their
care, they would never see them again
There are three blind children in the
rural districts of Pulaski county, less
than 20 miles from the school, whose
parents have never entered them,
though annually solicited to do so.
The parents cannot fathom the inter-
est of the state in the blind children,
such as to do so much for nothing.

The Arkansas Federation of Wom-

called the Better Babies Movement"
is growing rapidly. Originating in
Iowa, it has spread over "a states in
which contests have been held. The
object of these contests is to arouse
interest in child study, call attention

cially the physical welfare of the child

pie of Arkansas are urged to lend
their influence and support to the
movement. Mrs. C. w. Garrison,

heated and equipped for carrying on
the contest. Trained nurses will be
in constant attendance, helping moth
ers to care for the babies. The judges
will be physicians who will examine
and test each infant and the babies
will be Judged by weights, measure
ments, physiological, and psychology

GOVERNOR HAYS
Will have STAFF

Little Rock, Aug. 11.-Running
ahead of other states in most things,
Arkansas is now going to pull up even
with her sister state in the matter of
ceremonial display. Governor G.. w.
Hays is to have staff-not a staff
upon which to lean, but yet support
ing staff.
Not since w. NJ. Fishback was gov
ernor, has Arkansas had real, per-
fectly uniformed staff. Governor jeff
Davis appointed a number of close
friends on his staff but none of
those he honored purchased the regu-
lation uniform of gold braid and
broadcloth. Only once did his staff
assemble, and it came that time Woe
fully and wonderfully attired. One
or two were in uniform of the Arkan-
sas Guard, and several others appear
ed in uniforms of other descriptions.
A photograph of the staff of Governor
Davis shows one of the uniformed Off
Gals wearing a derby hat.
Governor Hays expects to have the
real thing in the staff line. All other
states have a governors staff, compos
ed of 10 or ~ close friends of the
chief executive, who accompany him
upon state occasions, adding splendor
to the turnout with their cooked hat
and generous decoration with gold
braid. This is what Governor Hays
believes the state should have, and he
is preparing the list of the men he
will appoint upon his staff.
The men who appear upon the staff
of Governor Hays will all be large in
stature, and with military bearing,
as he desires a good showing when up
on dress parade. 1t is probable the
staff will be asked to accompany the
governor to celebrations in nearby
states, and he wants to create most
favorable impression there.
