 Goods can't be moved unless the public Is told about them. \ custo- mer may go by the store every day in the week. But if she does not Know that inside on those shelves is Just the bargain that would appeal to her, the goods might just as well be in Jerico. She goes home, picks up the newspaper, reads about the special value offered in some other store. and on her next trip hunts out the place that had the enterprise to seek her patronage.
 The merchant who does not adver- tlse pays high price for the money saved Goods grow more unreasonable the longer they stay in a store The proprietor is getting no profit on them to pay his fixed charges. R Tt interest, taxes, light, and heat, and clerk hire expenses are running along every day, and must be paid. The only way to pay them is to keep the goods moving
 Goods held over until another sea son are apt to become so shopworn or out of style that they have to be sold for a song. Goods well advertis- ed and sold during the season for which they are bought go at fairly good price, and help the merchant close his season without loss.

Joan c. CoWan, one Of the best known settlers in this section of the state died recently at his home near Lowell, and the following notes oh his early fife, wi be Of more than ordinary interest u the readers of The News. as there was no more familiar figure, and better known, ant more universally liked man in this section than Uncle John GowaIi.
 John G. Gowan was born in Ten nessee on the 10th of April, 1927, and was one of eleven children born to Robert J. and Elizabeth Cowan. He moved to Arkansas in 1929. along with his parents. being two years old at that time. The family settled at the old homestead two and one half miles from springdale, and here he spent his entire life, except for a few weeks.
 On April l6, 1851, he was united in marriage to Elvira Hubbard, his play mate from youth, and she still sur wives him. To them were born sev. en children, four girls and three boys. Only three are living Tom and Will and the daughter, Anna Reed. In faith Uncle John was Cumberland Presbyterian, and his long life was a daily work for the Master. He was converted in early life, and lived consistent, steady Christian life un. til his death. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and during his more active days was great worker in this order At the time Of his death he was eighty-seven years four months, and seven days of age
 Truly he was good man, and the Master in His all wise providence, allowed Uncle John more than the four score years and ten on this earth. Possibly, should We be per mitted to look behind the scenes, the Master -was pleased with the work Uncle John was doing here below, and was content to let him remain here to accomplish his good works. May peace and rest abide with Uncle John, and may the home Oh high, not prepared by mortal hands, be a fitting reward for his exemp- lary life on earth.

A CRISIS OF THE UNIVERSITY

Of all the applicants for state aid before the legislature now in ses- sion none are so deserving. we think, as the state university, an institu- tion that never has had chance, with proper equipment and facilities, to show what it could do for the youth of the state. As a consequence hundreds of young men and women who gladly would have attended the Arkansas university have gone to other states for their higher educa- tion. And yet, in spite of the handi- caps it has had to carry. the Ark ansas university hasm ade a record
 through it's graduates, for efficiency and thoroughness of preparation fol service. It's graduates have taken and filled we'll positions in the tech nical professions and trades but they could be much better fitted and
The Springdale news., 1915-02-05

many of them could be fitted for this service were the appropriations sui ficient.
 President Futrall lately has made statement, comparing the meagre with those of other state universities, from which we take these figures and facts:
 University of Arkansas is asking for s4oO .ooo for the next two years.
 The university of Texas is asking for the next biennial period for the support of the university sl,96l, 761.64. The Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college is a separate institution and receives from the state of Texas each biennial period several hundred thousand dollars.
 In the states of California. Mime sota, Colorado, Iowa. Nebraska, Wis consin. North Dako.a, Michigan, Kan. sas, Indiana, Hin lis, Missouri and Ohio the average income Of the state university per inhabitant is 6 cents; in Arkansas it is less than la cents
 h the same states, the total annual income of the university per Sl,o0o of actual wealth is 43 cents; in Ar kansas it is f3.4 cents.
 The total annual income of the state university for each student in the university Of all the above nam- ed states is s41o; in Arkansas it is s24o, of which the state pays $i9l.
 The average figures for Texas i'll each one of these three cases are considerably larger than for Arkan- sas. and yet Texas is complaining very loudly that her university Is hot properly supported by the state.
 The state of Arkansas has not put one dollar into building for it's university in ten years yet no money is being asked for buildings at present, although buildings are badly needed The sum that is be- ing asked is merely for maintenance for the coming biennial period in or der that the students may receive all education as good as other state universities are giving to their stu dents. If these students do not re esite their opport nitg 4eg, they wi5a never have it. Outside Of actual maintenance items for the university at Fayetteville, the only other sums asked are for university extension ia order that some of the direct ben. efits of the institution nay be car. ried out to the people of the entire state. This money, if appropriated will be the means of securing econ siderable money from tbe govern iment under the terms Of tHe Smith Lever act.-Times Record.

MIDWINTER ADVERTISING.

January and February are period when the public looks through the newspaper advertising with keen at tention.
 A great many people have formed a regular habit of delaying purchases until this time of year. They know that most merchants will give unus- ally good bargains in midwinter, to save carrying goods over until an other year. A merchant that does no get into .ne and tell the public through the newspapers what he is doing at this time of year will find his trade very slack. But a simple statement Of the good values that can be found in most any enterpris- ing store will be read with eager in

JUST FER.

When the frost is on the win dow and the kitchen pail is froze; when the little icy need les come with every breath that blows; when the chilblains make us groan aloud and cold feet give us pain it's safe to bet that we all wish for summertime again. For while we sweat and stew around in breezy summer clothes it's an easy thing to cool off and forget our earthly woes. But it's different in the winter when the world is full of ice and the weather is as hard to beat as loaded dice. We may boast about our climate and about our spring and fall, but the balmy days of summer are the best ones after all.-Ex.

Notice is hereby given that noto- rious criminal is at large in this city. He is the author of score of crimes, particularly fendish in the methods employed.

 His ways. are peculiar, his motive for activity being indefnable. He turns up anywhere-attacks any body. He goes from palace to lowly hovel from a little child to an old lady. The beautiful woman is not beyond him, nor the strong one
 He does not work in the ordinary way. His schemes are awful and ghastly. He must be a scientist gone awry.
 This warning is therefore made in order to put every family on it's closest guard.

 THE BEDBUG AND PELLAGRA.
 The North Carolina State Board of Health issues a monthly bulletin filled with facts and wholesome sug- gestions relating to the preserva- tion of the health. In the November number is an article on pellagra The author calls attention to the fact tha = number of careful observ- CTS have for a long time had the bedbug under suspicion. It would ap- pear that this theory comes much nearer answering all requirements than any hitherto suggested. The incidence of pellagra and the bedbug much more nearly coincide It is a fact that both pellagra and bedbugs decrease in the same proportion as We ascend the scale of social condi- tions It is still possible to account by this theory for those cases in the best social conditions, and it should be especially noted that when 1 f. ings it does not spread. This is we'll illustrated in the case of the James Walker Memorial Hospital in Will mington, which has been admitting these cases since 1905 without any isolation into the open wards. During this period several hundred cases have been admitted without the oc- currence of a single extension to another patient or hospital attend ant It is well=recognized fact, however, that in the usual home of pellagra the disease will spread thro' the household, indicating there is something in these homes essen tial for the spread Of the disease which is left behind when the pa tient is removed to the hospital.
 Whether or not the "erimson ram bier" is responsible for so grave an evil as pellagra. any home would do well to rid itself at once of this pest; for at best it has an unsav- ory reputation, and stands for do- mestic carelessness that is counted by educated people as altogether re prahansib1e

Washington County sportsmen are up in arms over bill said to have been introduced in the House by Representative Mel Collier. of Prairie Grove. to re peal Washington Countyss model fish law, passed in 1911. Under the protection of this long=sought legislation, tie game fish in this county haxe had protection against the fish hog armed with his deadly dynamite and seine and thousands Of game fish have been placed in the streams. In the event Golfers bill becomes law, no more young fish will be placed in the streams for the req son that the goye rnment will not stock a stream unless the fish are protected by law against the rayages of seine, dynamite, trap, poison and other devices used to exterminate fish
 The benefit of four years pro- tection will be destroyed in a season if our small mountain streams are again to be seined and dynamited and it is to be hoped that Washington County's dale gation will vote against this most objectionba' e bit of illad- vised gislatioa.-Fayetteville Democrat
