Time to Consider Canning.

Now is the time TO think about
utilizing the waste peaches, apples,
tomatoes and other perishable crops
that get ripe and cannot be sold or
consumed at home. A home Gamer
can be bought for $1,000, or you
can get bulletins that will tell you
how to can vegetables at home
without even buying a Gamer, II
YOU decide to buy a canner get
prices from your local merchant or
write me and | will give you the
names of several manufacturers,
have 1000 bulletins on Canning
Fruits, Vegetables, and Preserves,
and 1000 on Canning Home Vege'
tables, and | will be glad to send
both to you They are valuable
bulletins on how to take care OF
something that otherwise we would
lose,
Every County in Arkansas ships
canned goods in by the car load,
and we buy those things we could
have canned at home, We pay for
the products, the freight and com
missions, and II canned at home, the
only thing we would have to buy is
the cans One little girl last year,
canned more than 500 cans Of toma'
toes and sold them before all the
work was done II we put up more
than can be used at home, there is
always q market for good clean fruit
and vegetables, Write for the bulle'
tins or any information you desire
about taking care Of the products
that are so plentiful now but will be
very scarce little later on.

LITTLE GIRL KILLED
Victim of a Gun in the Hands Of
Brother Who Didn't Know
Il Was Loaded"
DEATH OCCURS INSTANTLY

Another tragedy OF the unloaded
gun was added to the long list last
Sunday morning in Harrison, when
little Wynn Aldridge shot and in
stantly killed his 13-year-old sister
Ivy, while playing in the yard OF
their home in the east part of town,
Mrs, Aldridge is a poor widow
with six children living in a log
cabin near the railroad yards.
There had been some disturbance
near the cabin lately and Saturday
night she placed a sh IL in the gun,
which had been empty for a long
time. Early the next morning the
the children took the gun out to play
as they had often done before. The
boy snapped the weapon at his
sister and it fired, the full load
striking her in the breast and result
ing in instant death
The grief Of the mother as well as
the boy who fired the fatal shot was
touching. Kind nelghbors minister
ed to their needs and the little body
was given proper burial by the
authorities.

MINING ACTIVITY
Miners Getting Down to Busi-
ness---Steady Shipments
of Ore from Rush Camp.
TESTED ORE SHoWSRADIUM
Joplin Daily Globel

Unusal activity is reported in the
mining fields of north Arkansas, and
this district promises to become one
of the important ones Of the south
west More ore has been sold from
this field already this year than in
any previous twelve months,
Operations at the Jack Pot by the
new leesees indicate their intention
of making q real mine Of this proper
ty. Last week they shot fifty ~
foot holes, breaking up about | 900
tons of dirt, This was the largest
round of shot that was ever hred in
north Arkansas field. Some good
ore was uncovered by the shots, and
it is expected that the new mill at
the Jack Pot, which will start this
month, will have all the work it can
do.
W, A. Lancaster, operator OF the
Tar Kiln mine, has begun sinking a
shaft on his property at point near
the mill which has been tested by
drill holes, and he expects to have it
in use by the first of August The
drill holes were very rich
There is steady shipment Of ore
from the Rush Creek district near
Yellville. John Couness Sheperd has
returned from a two months stay in
Washington and is pushing work at
the Morning Star A second car Of
ore has been produced by Palmer &
Pierce at the Monte Cristo mine,
and the prospect there is said to be
growing better constantly,
The silicate miners on the Almy
and Frisco tracts are meeting with
good success and the ore turnln for
the past month was much better
than usual, and the quality is im.
proving markedly.
Three additional tests Of the radi.
um ore found at Tomahowk have
been made by Springfield photo
graphers and the result has been
the same in each case, proving be-
yond doubt that the ore has radium
in it,
SO far this month, r. w. Willett,
ore buyer at Yeleville, has bought
FIVE cars, Lon Brown, Earl Nc.
Clurc and George Stratton have q
car in the bins at Coker Hollow, and
other lots at various mines will
bring the turnin for the month TO ot
least eight cars.
