ositions: Conn, Hartford-It is said

and taking dinner at Island Villa on
Grand Isle Fifty-four men went on
the trip from Burlington and
number of business men from the
islands took dinner with them at the
hotel. In the speeches after the din
ner a number OF matters of general
interest were discussed.
Lyndonville has just moved into
its new electric building. They have
put in a new modern up-todate plant
capable of generating about 1000
horse power. The old building is in
perfect order and could be had for
some sort of manufacturing business.
The town would exempt. from taxat-
ion, and the villagewould make a
very low rate for power. The build
ing would be giveh to the company
who would come il and make use of
it for some manufacturing purpose

mercial organizations urging the con-
tinuance Of the system of Better Ac-

ing as follows: THAT the Associa-
ton recommends to its constituent
organizations that, when they are on

ride with auto owners of their organi-
cations share the expense for gaso-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach

only one way TO cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.

Why Arkansans Are Inter-
 ested in he Prosperity of the Railroads of Ark-
 QnSQS.

The enormous loss sustained by business generally and by every citizen of Arkansas through the decreased buying power of the rail- roads is strikingy illustrated by the great falling off in the past year in the purchases by the rail- roads of lumber, ties, piling and other forest products.
 On the lines of six of the principal roads traversing the state of Arkansas the loading of railroad ties for 1914, compared to the previous year, records decrease of $500 cars. This means that approximately 3,8OO,OOO less ties were bought. There over 1,0O000O ties as- sembled on the right of way of one railroad in Arkansas in the hands of the producer which the railroad is unable to purchase and more than another million are reported to be on the right of way of other roads awaiting purchaser. About TO per cent of these are ties that have been hewn by farmers. Of course the railroads have use for these ties and would like to pur- chase them, and thereby help the farmer and other owners, but through lack of funds they are unable to do so.
 statement from one car building company alone shows that under normal conditions they purchase annually 300, ,OOO,O feet of lumber for use in the construction of railroad cars costing $9,000,00O. The car building plants of this one company located in the St. Louis district use 100000000 feet of lumber yearly, at a cost of $3,000,000, while they are buying practically no lumber under the present conditions. A very large portion of this lumber is purchased in the state of Arkansas, and the enormous shrinkage in consumption has almost paralyzed the lumber in- dustry of this state
 For the twelve months ending October 1914 six railroads in this Western district show de- crease of S6,O00,O0C in their pay rolls compared with previous year. Railroads must retrench in every department and at the same time endeavor to retain their organization hoping and believing that the people will come to their rescue and place them in position to make betterments and ex- tensions and to enable the manufacturers to pro- vide employment for hundreds of thousands of men now out of work and formerly employed in industries which supply the railroads.
 Mir Citizen of Arkansas, the restoration of the three-cent rate will mean much for the pros- perity of the railroads and the prosperity of the railroads means prosperity for the entire indus trial system of your state.

Wheat is improving since the rains, SO are oats. The fruit seems to be all right yet. The berry crop bids fair for a good crop, and there is a good pros pect for grapes.

 The farmers seem to be very busily engaged of late. You can hear him say to old Jake to get up, in every direction from early morn antil dewy evening. We are glad to see it as there is only one time in the year to make a crop and if he lets that time pass without great efforts there will be but a small crsp to gather. so we will keep old Jake moving all day long.
 From what we can learn there will be quite a crop of pea nuts planted and also a large crop of COW peas and sweet potatoes. Some few beds are putting on slips now and there will be su.ne early plants put out.
