GROW MORE HOGS

Arkansas should have twen- ty times as many hogs as are now in the state. Why not a start a campaign for one or more pure bred sows on every Arkansas farm? Bankers are ready to lend money to far mers for a year at 6 per cent for purchase of pure bred bulls. Now the Extension Division of the University would like to suggest that bankers offer to lend money for the purchase of pure bred gifts. If in a county forty farmers who now do not own one pure bred hog could be helped to buy pure bred gilts in November, gilts bred to farrow about the last of Febru- ary, it would start movement for more wealth among the small farmers.

on the remaining 40 feet. The model to be worked to is two 40-foot road ways, two ten-foot sidewalks and three rows of shade trees-a most proper plan for a hot climate. All travel of course takes the right hand road. The grade should allow I crossing from one road to the other On a single road with 50-foot right of way, two ten-foot sidewalks and 30 feet for vehicles, when autos are standing at each curb there Is not room for safe passing of vehicles go- ing in opposite directions and this difficulty and danger increases with the traffic.
 A single-track road should be 60 feet wide.
 The middle line of new roads is gen. erally on a section line or other line between two owners. If the fashion Is set for a 100-foot right of way owners will give the 50 feet.
 If county commissioners will insist on the 100 feet and make 1t state wide rule supported by public opinion, owners will fall into line and give the land.
 The double-road plan allows speed with safety and the speed of motor cars will in the future be increased on long runs.
 The point is that 1t is the duty of the pioneer road builders of today to provide for the travel of the future.
 Fifteen years ago in Chicago . street mile long between Grant and Lincoln parks was widened from 60 to 200 feet It cost s10,000,000.
 If the people who laid out that street could have looked ahead the expense would have been only the amount of the surveyors bill. In less degree such things will happen some day in Florida wherever narrow roads are built.
 California has awakened to the idea and has some main roads 100 feet wide.
 As soon as Florida gets hard roads the travel by tourists and citizens by motor car and motor truck will rapid ly increase and will grow in time to enormous proportions.
 The climate and the motor car will accomplish 1t and it Is time that the road builders awakened to these en- tirely new conditions. Besides the question of safety and convenience there is the question of beauty, of civic pride and the satisfaction of building right for all time.
 Road builders must realize that the motor car has brought entirely new conditions.
 They must lay out the roads wide enough fer all time, while the land can be got for nothing. It is a duty.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Up- on a Well-Earned Re-
 putation

For months Newark readers have seen the constant express sion of praise for Doan's Kid ney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. What other reme- dy ever produced such convinc- ing proof of merit?
 John Edwards, HoXie, Ark, says: "I had a dull, heavy ache in my back and any exertion or a cold made it worse. My kidneys acted too frequently and the kidney secretions pain. ed when passing. Then Deans Kidney Pills were brought tc my notice, 1 got some and one box made me feel much better After I had taken three boxes not a sign of kidney trouble remained. The cure they gave me has lasted"

WINTER COVER CROPS

Farmers should not forget the value of wheat, oats and rye for cover crops. There are four distinct values of these cover crops: CD Winter pas ture; CD Lessens washing of soil; (3) the green plant uses plant food that Is being liber- ated and when plowed under said plant food is saved that would otherwise be lost; (4) the growth to be plowed under in April will add to the humus supply. thus adding to the fer tility of the soil and also add ing to the moisture-holding ca pacity.

The road builders of today are neg lecting a very important point
 The motor car is a new thing in the world and creates entirely new con- ditions.
 The travel of the future will be very great.
 The fashion should be set at once for 100-foot right of way on all main reads.
 One half should be developed first; the other could be used by the former owners under a free lease from the counties until 1t is needed. It will surely be needed some day.

A MEAN revenge
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

I'll get event" Missed Bruce Martin
malevolently, and it was a wicked
hope and based on worse impulse.
THE best man won, Ell, Martini
sneered voice of derision at the ell
bow of the first speaker, and Martin
snarled out:
Il haven't lost, all the samel"
His friend stared wonderingly after
him as Martin turned On his heel, try
ing to guess out the hidden meaning
Of these words. The man who had
left him was a smoldering volcano of
wrath. For the time being at least he
was f1end incarnate.
Bruce Martin and Arthur Morse
were half cousins. The former had
always been the more fortunate. He
was the spoiled, reckless son of dot
ing mother, who left him quite for
/. tune. Then when her sister died he
was the principal heir to her bonds
and mortgages. Morse was also re-
membered by this aunt, but in a
minor way. Lyndon Barrens was a
rough 2OO-acre strip of laid and she
divided it equally between the two
relatives.
Bruce Martin never even went to
look at the bleak patch Of waste land.
Morse did. The prospect was not in
viting. His 100 acres had tumble
down house on it, gone to rack and
ruin. He realized that he could ex-
pect little return from this wretched
heritage.
But his heart was ligh. and his
hopes high. He had neither houses
nor lands, but he had something bet
ter, the love of true woman. Bruce
Martin had been his rival for the hand
Of sweet, winsome Ethel Tyler. When
Martin learned that for once In his
life possession of a coveted object

Facts as to sleep.

A recent investigation into the char
acteristics of sleep quoted by Profess
sor Jastrow of England reveals a strik-
ing division of sleep conditions be-
tween the sexes. At the same time
it shows that people, as a whole,
vary little from the average, and that
most people sleep in about the same
way. People who are troubled sleep
ers really get as much sleep, but
they do 30 more jerkily.
The first quarter of nights sleep
possesses more rest than all the re-
naming three-quarters put together.
This gives scientific reason for the
old proverb, "An hours sleep before
midnight is worth two hours after.
Not that midnight has anything to do
with 1t, but that the worth of sleep
does lie in the first part of it, and in
early times nearly every one was in
bed couple hours before midnight.

Harvest Evarx MONTH.

All through the year wheat is being
harvested. In January 1t is cut in the
great fields of the Argentine and in
New Zealand. In February and March
it is cut in the East Indies and Egypt.
The wheat fields are harvested In
April in Cyprus, Asia Minor. Persia
and Cuba, and in May in China and
Japan. June is the busiest harvest
month of the whole year, for then Tur-
key, Greece, Spain and southern
France, as well as most of the south
ern states of America are all cutting
wheat.
The more northerly states of Amer
lea, as well as Austria, Germany and
parts Of Russia do their harvest gath
ering in July.
August sees the wheat crop gath
cred in Great Britain, and September
and October for Sweden and Norway.
Peru and South Africa are busy har.

HE'S PoSSUM OF SNAKE TRIBE
Spreading Adder Seeks to TerrIfy, but
Really ls Nothing More Than
Big Bluff.

He's sly creature, this snake. When
he's discovered and trapped he'll make
such hullabaloo about it, with his
kissing and contortions, that If you're
not wise to the fact that he's only
blufing you're sure to be frightened,
says the Philadelphia North AmerI-
can. II you're acquainted with him,
however, and refuse to run. he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou.
Bile of killing him. But don't be fooled.
He's only playing possum. He's the
spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
of wild stories about him. Many peo-
pie believe he's poisonous, because
he spreads his head out fiat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. AS matter OF
fact he couldn't hurt you If you
picked him up by the head. He's only
blufing when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that he
will bite himself and fall over dead.
This belief comes from his habit OF
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and can't escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, a reddish-brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and on sandy hillsides, and eats
toads and insects. He's also called
the blowing viper or the hog-nosed ad
der.

SIMS HOARD
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Sim Lane was the meanest man in
Colville. Though he came of decent
old family, and mad, in fact, had the
chance Of going to college in his
youth, his fathers Impoverished
seemed to have turned the wine OF
life into vinegar for him. He settled
down on what was left of the farm
and eked out a miserable existence
together with his slatternly wife and
the daughter who always looked hall
starved.
1t was shame, everybody agreed
His miserliness had grown on him
with age. The cottage was cold as
an icehouse in winter because he
burned fagots. picked up in the woods
instead of coal. Mrs Lane looked
more and more disreputable, and the
daughter more hungry. He was un
popular in the village, and the boys
used to shout taunts after the skulk
ing figure.
A new barn had to be built, and, at
ter much haggling, Lane skimped
down the contractor to the lowest fig.
ure for shoddy work. Then, to save
money, he set to and started on the
foundations himself. It was while he
was digging them-dynamite being an
expense to which he would not cater
that his pick struck something hard
or than earth and more resonant than
stone.
Presently Sim unearthed metal
box, rusted with age. With trembling
fingers he managed to get it open. In

PROPER DIET FOR INVALID
Food That VIII Be Agreeable to Sick
Room Should Be Subject Of
Much Consideration.

OF great value as tonic, toning up
and feeding the nerves and preventing
sleeplessness. Take several beetroots
cut up and boil until very tender. Re
move from the water and boil the lilo.
uid down until it becomes a strip
Take this in doses ranging from a
small wine glassful to half pint, two
or three times day before meals.
The beet is full OF valuable sub
stances that make it one OF the most
etfectual tonics that can be taken
The good effects on the nerves and
general health quickly become appa.
rent. Rsst and careful dieting, with
plenty of milk, are also advisable in
order to secure permanent relief.
Very often good boiled custsrd can
be SERVED with advantage with fruit
to invalids. The fruit adds attractive
ness to the custard and 80 tempts the
appetite. A few prunes, neatly cut in
pieces, can be covered with custard
and dates can be used in the same
way. Orange pulp cut in dice can
also be added to it, or a spoonful of
apple snow can be placed on top OF
dish of custard.
Spinach on toast is also nice to
serve. Cook some well-washed spin
ach for 20 minutes in boiling sailed
water, drain and rub through a sieve.
Have ready a piece Of buttered thin
toast, which has been quickly dipped
in boiling water. Moisten the spinach
with little melted butter, season
with salt and pepper, and pile neatly
on the toast.

Tomato and Corn.

Have you heard of the famous to-
mato and corn clubs that are now or
ganized in many states of the coun-
try? They originated in Aiken county,
South Carolina, in the brain of q little
schoolteacher named Marie Cromer,
who was getting thirty dollars q
month.
She asked her pupils one day, What
are you doing to help maw?" They
all allowed" that they were not do
in, nothin' much" She started them
to doing something.
She got each Of them to begin with
about the easiest cultivated plant. the
tomato, on tenth Of an acre Of
ground, and the most efficient cultiva-
tor was to receive prize. All the to-
mato clubs in the country started from
that.
Thousands of cans of tomatoes are
now produced from Aiken county
alone.
Then Jerry Moore got two thousand
boys of the state into corn clubs. And
there are now forty thousand through
out the South. These boys learn how
to produce corn at the lowest possi-
BILE cost.
