WHY NOT BE SAFE

It will be the part of wisdom on the part of each and every farmer in Arkansas to play safe" this year and grow enough feed for all his stock and enough meat and vegetables for his family for a whole year. Corn, Clover and Contentment'' and Pigs, Peas and Prosperity" will be good slogans. Plant a little more corn, large, patches of peas, soy beans and peanuts, and a large field of Sudan grass, and another acre af sorghum, and a bigger garden, and get another COW or a few calves and a few more pigs and be safe.

SHOOTING AFFRAY
 AT HARRISON

On last Friday there arose some trouble between Ex-Mar- shal Bert Taylor, of Harrison, and Berry Jones, wherein both parties were soliciting pas sengers for their automobile lines. It seems that both parties were at the passenger depot at liar rison, and when the train ar rived that both parties solicited passengers for conveyance to town, and from this contact there were some bitter words passed, and MT. Taylor drove his car up in town, followed by MT. Jones, and when Jones met MT. Taylor in town he immedi- ately drew his pistol and began firing at MT. Taylor-some four or five times, of. which two or more were effective.
 MT. Taylor is in a very crit ical condition and MT. Jones under a bond.
 There will be the regular pre- liminary hearing some time this week, as the recovery of MT. Taylor is uncertain.
 The law firm of w. P. Smith, c. P. Watkins 6 Gus Seawel has been employed in the pros ecution, as special counsel by private citizens, and will com mence the arrangement of the prosecution as soon as MT. Smith, deputy prosecuting attorney, returns from Little Rock.
 This makes three shooting affairs for the next term of Boone county circuit court.

prano during her stay of six months.
 It is interesting to note that in later years she was one of a band of singers who chanted a dirge at the railroad station in this city (Lincoln, IlE ) when the body of the martyred president Lincoln passed thru on it's way to the final resting place at Springfield.
 On December 28, 1880, she be- came the wife of Dr. John B. Mcdowell, a well known physi- elan and surgeon of Fulton and Mason counties. Dr. Mcdowell served as a surgeon through the Mexican war. Their married life was terminated by his death in 1907.
 After the death of her husband Mrs. Mcdowell made her home with various relatives, principal ly with her niece, Mrs. J. M. Hubbert, whom she reared from infancy. Her last days were spent in the Deaconess home in this city.
 Mrs. Mcdowell was woman of strong convictions and preju- dices, a loyal member of her church Presbyterian and an uncompromising defender of it's creed. She was interested through her long life in good literature and all that makes for intelligence and refinement. She possessed 9 generous heart and was never happier than when giving up her means free ly and unselfshly.

awake to the possibilities of our Carroll county hills for grass, clover, stock and fruit. Here on this farm we found 12O acres ot splendid orchard grass and clover pasture, 80 more sowed to grass. MT. Ward just few years ago was working as farm hand for wages. When he bought his place the most of it was in the woods, covered with trees and brush. He cleared 1t and bought some goats and let them clear the sprouts and make him a profit while at it. Sowed grass and clover. Today it is sight good for the eyes to see the green carpet on those hills dotted with grazing cattle and hogs. There could be a thousand farms like it in Car roll county.
 In company with Prof. J. $. Knox, of the Extension force of the College of Agriculture, in horticulture we tried to have some orchard demonstrations Friday and Saturday near Eu- reka Springs and Berryville, but meetings, at both places were practically ruined by Jupiter Pluvius. Found some Wide-aWake interested fruit men but nothing like we should have. Found some bad infections of canker worms, which are going to do considerable damage, if the own CTS do not get busy and spray. MT.

MRS. JOHN B. MCDOWELL DIES

Mrs. John B. Mcdowell, aged 83 years, died at the Deaconess hospital at 6:15 Saturday even- ing, April 8th. A brief funeral service was held Monday after noon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mrs. D. H. Harts, a niece of the deceased.
 Burial will occur Tuesday at Mason City, where Mrs. Me- Dowell lived for many years.
 Matilda Ann Forsythe was born at Zimmer Hill, Schoharie county, New York, August 1st, 1882. She was one of a family of twelve children born to Rob- ert and Hannah Forsythe, all of whom grew to maturity.
 In 1856 she came west with her fathers family to Lincoln, Ill.,, and became at once identi- fled with the social life of the town which had shortly before succeeded Mt. Pulaska as the county seat. Endowed by nature with an exceptionally fine soprano voice, music formed an absorbing interest in the life of Miss Forsythe. At an early age she had the advantage of ex- cellent vocal instruction from competent instructors. She was a favorite pupil of William B. Bradbury, the noted composer and teacher, who predicted for her a brilliant career in opera or concert singing a life which the stern religious principles of her parents forbade, greatly to her sorrow. In her eighteenth year she sang as soprano Soloist for Bradbury at one of his musical conventions in New York, and the following summer was a member of the choir in one of the largest churches in Boston,, Having accompanied her father, Robert Forsythe, Sr., to Auburn dale, a suburb of Boston, where he was at that time engaged in the construction of the building of Laselle Seminary still in op- eration] father and daughter at tended divine services in the large city where the beautiful voice of the young stranger at once attracted attention and she was invited to assist in the choir and she served as leading so-

FIELD NOTES BY
 THE COUNTY AGENT

Hog cholera IS raging Tn some sections and is keeping us busy now. We have met some farmers who tell us that they lost all their fattening hogs and are buying meat. There is abso- lutely no excuse for that, Better sell shoat or two for money to vaccinate the rest and thus insure your family meat, and save the money you have to pay for meat for some other neces- sity.
 We meet plenty of folks who do not believe in vaccination. Some who feed Merry War Lye, some who feed Polk Root. Some Venetian Red, and numerous other decoctions, but they all acknowledge that when the cholera comes the hogs die all the same. The Bureau of Animal Husbandry has tried out every so-called hog cholera remedy and found that none of them will cure their hogs when they have the real cholera. I met one farmer who fed Vene- tian Red, saying his hogs would not take cholera, but he burned 55 head all the same, and only saved the balance of the herd by vaccinating them. Lost enough hogs to vaccinate every hog he will raise in the next five years.
 l vaccinated hogs last week , for Bob Mitchell, Ross Foster, { A. L. Bell, and Dr. w. L. Wat } kins, of Carrollton; J. A. . Center, J. l.. Ward, and H. B ai s I,l ,4 44. ,, s ]. E. one reast Shilling, 10 miles south of Berry, vile. Found infection in most of the herds vaccinated.
 Logan Stafford, one of the progressive young farmers of the county, is cooperating in our work by putting on a varie- ty test in field corn on his fathers farm, near Green Forest. He will try out more than 20 va rieties, under the directions of the College of Agriculture at Fayetteville, through the County Agent. We hope to make this test worth much to the farmers of the county, and consider our selves fortunate in securing MT. Stafford to do this work.
 Local demonstrator, J. E.. Norris, of Denver, will handle a demonstration test for the College of Agriculture, in Sudan grass. We hope that much good will result from these demon strations. MT. Norris is a wide awake farmer and has an ideal plat of ground for this demon- stration. We have some other special demonstrations we will speak of later.
 J. c. Stafford and sons recent ly marketed some young cattle at prices and with profit that should encourage the industry in Carroll county. A few months ago they bought 20 short yearlings at $17.00 per head. selling them at $50.00 per head. Last fall they bought IA head of yearlings at S39.00, selling them at $54.00 per head. They were fed silage for about six weeks, running on grass pasture since they were purchased, wintered principally on grass, and much of that on land too rough for cultivation. MT. Stafford and sons are building the fertility of their land instead of robbing it, as many are doing, raising wheat, corn and oats and sell ing the fertility of their farms and. getting little for it.

Despite the fact that the people
had to go out in a downpour of rain

church last night, the church, was fill
ed. It was indeed most inspiring
sight. Such a manifestation of faith
and devotion should convince all who
witnessed it that true supernatural
religion is not on the decline. but
grips the hearts of men today as much
as ever it did and fills them with
something that repays them for all
1acriGces and effort
Those who heard the sermon on
"DeathS last night were fortunate in
deed for it was considered by many
the best discourse Of the mission. The
text was taken from the third chap
ter of the book Genisis: "In the
sweat of thy face thou shalt eat
bread till thou return to the earth
out of which thou vast taken; for
lust thou art and into dust thou shalt
return"
At each of the services this morn
