OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it
An Arkansas doctor says:
81 was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do without it, but after years of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, attributed It to the drink
ing Of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.

according to directions on the pkg. and
found it just suited my taste.

I had never known any life except
that of the Cumberland mountains.

 Every room has been furnished with a pencil sharper so that the boys may leave their pocket knives at home.
 Every boy should search himself and see that he brings no matches or tobacco on the school grounds. Both boys and girls should watch closely to see that our school prop erty is kept free from pencil and crayon marks.

Farm Demonstration Work in Arkansas.

Union county has received a proposition from United States government and College of Agri- culture, cooperating, offering te contribute from $45O to $66O fol the improvement of farming and stock raising in the county during the coming year. This money would help defray the expense of maintaining demonstration agent in the work of demontrating profit able farming methods. This is the class of work that enabled farmers working under the direction of these agents in the State to grow an average of 28 bushels of corn while the Arkansas farmers ayer- age corn yield is only l 8 bushels to the acre. The cotton yield was 524 pounds, State average, but farmers following the advice of the farm demonstration agents raised an average of 1 ,128 pounds to the acre.
 County Judge H. s. Yocum has received a proposition from c. w.. Watson, state agent farm demon stration work, to be submitted to the quorum court that meets on Oct. 2z.
 The work costs more than the amount contributed to the county by the government and State Col- lege of Agriculture, and the differ ence, of course, has to be borne by the county where the work is done For instance, if the court will levy, in cash, $z5O, the college and gov ernment will contribute $45O cash, and if the county will increase the amount by $50, the government and college will increase it's gift by the same amount, or 5000 to $500. There is a regular scale of increase for larger amounts.
 That most of the counties in Ar kansas have snapped up these of fers of free aid for several years past is shown by the fact that in 1915 government aid amounted to $53, 1000, including $2z8O con- tributed by the railroads in trans portation to the farm demonstra- tion agents.
 This amount was greatly in creased in 1914 when a total of nearly $ll2.OOO was spent for farm demonstration work in the State. It is expected that still larger increase will be seen this year, particularly in view of the great interest shown in improved

and profitable farming methods. and the remarkable awakening shown by bankers. business men and the public generally.
 With increased crop production absolutely shown by farm demon stration methods it is plain that money spent to maintain an agent ln a county, with the government and college contributing nearly half the amount expended, is brought back into the county and spent among local business men through the increased value of crops pro- duced. In addition to this the farm demonstration agents are in strumental in making farm life easier and more satisfactory and therefore happier. A phase of this IS seen in the boys corn, pig and poultry club work and in the girls canning club work. in demonstra- ting good roads, and other forms of construction and instructive meth odS.

J. T. Spencer, prominent mer- chant and planter of Spencer, Union parish, La, was assassinated late Sunday and his companion, John Dean, was probably fatally wounded by John Pnkard, white man. The shooting occurred near Spencer's home while he and Dean were driving in buggy. Pinkard, armed with a double barrel shot gun, met them in the road, it is al- legged, and commanded them to wait a minute and fired a full load of buckshot into Spencers face, killing him instantly. As MT. Dean jumped from the buggy and started to run Pinkard fired at him striking him with seven buekshot. MT Dean was taken to Monroe and placed in St. Francis sanitarium where physicians say his wounds are se- rious.
