THE CLASSIFIED "AD."

In learning to utilize Glass
flied Advertising, you take
"six-league" stride toward
success! There are still some
people living in Dallas and
Polk county who have not
learned to use The Observers
classified advertising columns.
They know that there are
"such things as "want ads"
and probably assume that
some people must find them
useful. But, for some reason
or other, they have not put
these "ads" to the test of
usefulness to themselves.
These same people have
"caught up" with events in
many other directions. They
utilize the telephone, the tele-
graph, gas, electric light, the
street cars. They adopt mod
ern conveniences for house
keeping. They utilize time
and labor-saving appliances in
business.
But, having a task for a
classified advertisement to do,
they try to find some other
way to accomplish it. If it is
a renting task, they depend
upon a placard. If it is a
property selling task, they
put up a "For Sale sign"
If it is a position-fnding task,
they rely upon personal
friends to help them. If they
have furnished rooms to rent,
they place an advertisement in
the window or over the door
bell.
When these people make
their first successful use Of
want advertising, they acquire
new optimism. Irksome
tasks become mere business
matters. New possibilities
without number open to them.
They learn to utilize the "Six-
League Boots" of publicity
when occasion requires-and
every little daily problem be-
comes manageable. The OBJ
server is published Tuesdays
:, and Fridays, and gives re-
suits. 1t has been proven.

SALOON PETITION DE-
CISION PROBABLY SATURDAY
Liquor Question in Little Rock Drag
ging Slowly. Little Doubt but
What Case Will be Carried
to Circuit Court

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-The saloon
petition for Little Rock is dragging
slowly, and the liquor men will pro-
badly not close their case before this
evening. 1t may be Saturday before
Judge Asher announces his decision.
1t is generally conceded that license
will be granted.
The saloon men are answering each
one of the individual remonstrances
presented by the prohibitionists to
over 400 of the 1880 names on the
petition. They claim they have ma
jority, even if all the names against
which protest is made were stricken
from the petition, but they say they
desire to prove the inconsistency of
the remonstrances.
There is little doubt that the case
will be carried to the circuit court, but
in the meantime the saloons will be
opened.

CONTRACT FOR HIGHWAY
Thirteen Miles Improved Road from
Star City to Tarry in Lincoln
County. Road Association
No. Organized.

Little Rock, Feb 5.-The contract
for the construction of thirteen miles
of improved road from Star City to
larry, in Lincoln Co, was awarded
yesterday at Star City by the Com
missioners, to the r. II. Bunch Com
mission Co., of Little Rock, which has
undertaken road building. The COM
pany's bid was $41, 1852 for a gravel
road and $64,86177 for Macadam.
The character of the road was not de
cided, but this will be done later by
the Commissioners, as the Bunch bid
was the lowest on both types. State
Highway Engineer Carter was pres
ent at the opening of the bids. This
was a re-letting, as the lowest bid for
gravel the first time was $4,000.
Mr. Carter also reports the organi-
zation of Lincoln County Good Roads

CAPITOL CLOSED TO
SUNDAY VISITORS
Interior of Building Mass of ScaffOld-
ing and Doors Will be Closed
to Visitors Until Work is
Fully Completed

Little Rock, Feb. Sit is announc-
ed that hereafter the state capitol will
be closed to visitors on Sunday, until
after the work now under way in the
interior has been completed, which
will probably be in the late summer.
This is made necessary by the large
amount of scaffolding that has been
erected for the purpose of stripping
the walls of plaster which is to be re-
placed with Alabama marble. The
whole interior of the building, except
the offices, is a vast workshop, and the
walls are bare and unsightly. The
walls of the Senate and House are al
SO being strippd, and when the legis-
lature meets in January, 1915, it will
be in halls lined with white marble,
The seating arrangements in both
halls will be changed, providing ample
space for all the members, clerks, and
representatives of the press. Hand
some marble stands will be provided
for the Speaker and the President,
and an effort will be made to solve
the acoustic difficulties which were
so annoying last session.

MORE PROFIT FROM FOWLS

This is a very favorable time to
extend the poultry operations of our
farm homes. With meats of all kinds
high and the supply decreasing rapid
ly, it would seem that poultry and
eggs will be more in demand as foods
for the family table.
Pork, beef, mutton and cured
meats are not always convenient for
the farm home some distance from
market Nor is it desirable to slaugh-
ter a pig, a calf or lamb upon short
notice when the weather is unfavor-
able for keeping the meat. With fowls
it is always in order to have one for
the family meal when unexpected
company arrives or for extra hands
for emergency in farm work. Eggs
are cheap sources of protein when
compared to meats and they are easily
and quickly prepared for serving.
City people are apt to use more
poultry products on their tables since
the parcel post and cheaper express
rates make it possible to secure these
products directly from the farm. This
will mean increased opportunities in
raising fowls on our farms.
With an abundance of grain, plenty
of grazing crops, open space and sani-
tary houses poultry may be made a
profitable side line on the farm
Farm and Ranch.

er with Miss Hover started on ride
east on the road to Vail. When in

Henry Saggau, demonstrator for the
Denison Auto company, was in a car
only a short distance behind the i'll
fated machine and saw the accident
when it occurred. He stated that the
car was travelling at high rate OF
speed and without a doubt McWilliams
lost control OF his car when it struck
the small ditch running across the
road just west of the North farm.
When he saw that the accident was
serious he speeded up the car he was
driving and arrived at the scene only
few moments later. Henry brought
McW'illiams and Miss Hover to Deni-
