'Sure, l did" answered the other
vehemently. 81 went to him the first
thing, but he just laughed at me-
Just then the door opened, and Ro-
land Gregory stepped into the room
and began a story Of grievance
which he also had against the Courier.
"That impudent young Englishman
whom Marchmount has turned loose on
this community was at the factory this
morning inquiring about conditions of
the operatives, the average wage Of
the employees and lot Of other i'm
pertinent questions. He acted as
though he owned my office and said
that the conditions in my factory were
of public interest and that he repre-
sented the public"
II tell you, Graham, we must do
something to that Courier or 1t will
ruin Bronson" chimed in McCrea as
the lawyer sat silent after Gregory's
outburst.
II will see Marchmount about It,
said the lawyer finally, 'but l am
afraid we can't influence him much
until after this Sunday business is
over At any rate. the paper will be
fully occupied with the tabernacle
meetings for the next few weeks, and
1 don't think there will be much In
terest in anything else while the clown,
Sunday, is in Bronson"
"But after these meetings are over

afraid things will be worse than ever.

you 80 per cent increase In salary,
and the increase will be permanent"
Reginald stammered his thanks.
''No thanks are necessary" said the
editor. You are more than earning
the increase. You have brought new
life to our paper, and h'-eafter the
Courier will be found on side of
the people every time"

violent language In public addresses In
Bronson. the ordinance being meant
especially for Mr.. Sunday, whose pull
pit mannerisms and language were
now the subject of debate In almost
every Bronson home. The Courier
with black loaded type called attention
to this ordinance and held 1t up to
scorn. This action on the part of
Marchmount's paper aroused Bud Nc
Crea to fury. He called at the Courier
office the next day in high dudgeon.
"What did you mean by ridiculing
our councilmen when they are attempt
ing to keep vulgarity and violence out
of our city," he demanded Of the edi-
tor. For answer Thomas Marchmount
turned and looked at his visitor. The
two men stared at each other for a

this Sunday campaign. / am
much afraid the results will not
be what you expect In Bronson"
'Why do you think SOP" asked the
Iowa minister, speaking earnestly.
Mr.. Townley and Allan Rutledge
were sitting together in the comforta-

was the day before the expected ar

of assistants, and the two ministers
were conversing on the subject of the
coming battle between the forces of
right and the forces Of wrong. Allan

Health Hints.

In 1882 DR.. Robert Koch Of Berlin
announced that he had discovered the
cause of tuberculosis or consumption.
Great interest at once arose through
out the world because consumption
kills more people than any other dis
ease that atflicts mankind.
One million lives throughout the
+ world are sacrificed to It's ravages
every year. 100000 of them here in
the United States.
DR.. Koch's epoch making discovery
has made 1t possible TO prevent con-
sumption and thus to stop its need
less slaughter. Already hundreds or
thousands OF lives have been saved.
DR.. Koch discovered that consump.
ton is caused by living germ shaped
like a short rod. and SO small that 1t
must be magnified about 1000 times
in order that II may be seen at all.
This tiny germ is plant which
grows within the body casually in the
lungsl and this causes the disease.
It attacks especially people who are
weakened from other causes. such as
disease, dissipation or overwork.
1t Is important to know that con.
sumption is not hereditary, as was
formerly thought. but that the germs
get into the body after birth. Thus,
by avoiding the germs the disease
may be prevented.
Most so-called bilious headaches are
due TO constipation. For immediate
relief a dose OF salts or purgative
will usually prove sufficient. Plenty
of exercise, moderate diet, fruit and
vegetables in the preponderance will
very largely prevent such headaches.

 GROWN ON MANY s0ILs
Steals Nitrogen From the Air and En- riches Soii-Nutritious and as a Forage Plant It Is Unsurpassed.

LespedeZa or Japan clover is an an nual plant, which begins growth early in the spring and continues until killed by frost. It is comparatively slow in growth and natures only one crop ill season. It is a legume and like all legumes has the power of taking nitro, gen from the air and thereby enrich ing the soil. As a pasture plant it's value is widespread throughout the South. As a hay plant it's value Is only beginning to be realized, although considerable acreage is now being harvested annually in southern Arkan- sas and in several of the Southern states. In nutritive and feeding value the crop is known to. compare we'll with alfalfa.
 LespedeZa grows on all types of soils down to the poorest and is known to withstand severe drouth. It is scat tered along roadsides and in pastures, and due to it's reseeding habits. ire quently enters into Bermuda pastures of it's own free will, thus making @ very desirable combination. As hay crop it is very we'll adapted to the conditions of soil and climate arc more favorable to it's development. The principal limiting factor in the production of hay is the moisture sup ply. In a dry season the growth is comparatively light on poor soils. For this reason bottom land soils which have plenty of moisture will give best results.
 Lespedeza is usually sown in ,Fen- ruary or March on oats or wheat, at the rate of 2O-25 pounds to the acre The seeds are. commonly sown broadcast after the small grain is up. Alter the pats are harvested the efovet covers the ground and is ready for harvest in September or October. If provision is made to allow the crop to, reseed, the clover will produce an osheT crop the. following year. It. is ffeqNently necessary, to- clip back the weeds with the moving machine in or. der to help the growing crop, 'sf The average yield of lespedeZa where grown for hay, ranges from one to two tons per acre. Where the stand 1 is good, a ton of cured hay per acre l is figured for each six inches that the l moving machine cuts. The reason l for this high weight is due to the low
 moisture contents of the crop.

THE NEW SERUM PLANT
locations of Building Changed to Fa-
 cilitate Shipping Of Serum.

Government statistics show that 90 per cent of all the hogs that die in the United States die from hog chola- "a. In the treatment of cholera among hogs the demand for anti-hog cholera serum has increased to such an extent that it was necessary to erect new building in which to manufacture the serum at Little Rock. The old build ing was located at Fayetteville. The erection of the plant at Little Rock was done to facilitate the shipment of serum.
 site for the building was secured near the Well Packing Companys plant and a modern sanitary building was constructed to meet large de- mands in Arkansas.
 The veterinarian at the Experiment Station has held meetings at various places in the state, at which he has given special instructions in the ad- ministratiOn of this serum The farm demonstration agents have received special instructions in the use of anti hog cholera serum and these agents have already rendered great service in their counties in controlling this dread disease among hogs.
 By applying to the office of the state veterinarian at Fayetteville or the state demonstration agents at the Old State House, Little Rock, or of your local county demonstration agent you can secure the aid you desire in com- batting this disease, which can be ab. solutely controlled by the use of the serum.

MANY DOLLARS SAVED
 BY BUYING PURE SEED
Care in Selecting Parent For 1915 Crop Will Mean Better Yield at Har- vest-20 Per Cent More.

ln buying seed farmers should care fully consider the following points if they expect to get the worth of their money: First, where the seed was grown; second, quality of the seed; third, percentage of germination; fourth, percentage of trash; fifth. purity of seed; sixth, presence and kind of weed seed.
 Seed must become acclimated to any particular section before they will produce the best crops. This often takes two or three years. It is always best to buy seed from neighbor if he has them with the proper quality and purity. However, it will often be nee essary to resort to the seed houses. In that case a statement should be se- cured from them stating where the seed was grown. For instance, seed is often shipped in from some distant state for local use, and the farmer may be greatly disappointed with re- suits. It is better to use seed grown east or west of the locality where it ts to be used than those grown considers ble distance north or south It takes only a few miles north or south to make one day difference in the season. Many farmers make the mistake of buying inferior seed because Of the high cost of good seed. Yet the in. crease in yield due to the better seed will pay for the difference in the cost of the seed several times, providing the quality is secured. A small sam. pie of seed can be sent to. the :Arkall. saS Experiment Station at Fayetteville and a test will be run free of charge. It pays to. know. .'eats
 Farmers@often fail to consider the percentage: of trash that seed COT. tain. The farmer wants seed, not trash, yet the percentage of weed seed, par. ticles of sand. and dirt or sticks may make up fifteen or twenty per cent of the weight of the seed and such seed are worth only 80 or S5 per cent as much as the clean seed.
