County Demon strator Williams
 Is a Busy Man

Farm Demonstrator T. M.
 Williams is spending several days in this part of the country.
 Earle Kirkpatrick, of the ex- tension department of the Uni verslty. was with MT. Williams last Friday and Saturday and was very well pleased with the progress of the work, and said that the farmers of South Frank lin show more cooperation than those of any other county in the state. As MT. Kirkpatrick trav- els over the state, dividing his time among the various demon- strators and is in a position to know, we must acknowledge this as a very high compliment.
 Mir. Williams has 40 demon strators, farmers working plats under his supervision and 55 members of the various boys and girls clubs. He is receiving more calls than he can possibly supply, and now has enough calls ahead to keep ten men busy for three weeks if he had them. He spent one week on the north side of the county and is spend ing one on this side controlling hog cholera, and as he drops everything else when he receives a call to treat hogs against cholera, it is impossible for him to keep up with his work. His task is made harder by the fact that he tries to visit each of his forty demonstrators once each month. Charleston Express.

Local Phone Company To Fur
 nish Forecast

Cooperating with the United States Department of Agricul- ture, climatological division, and for the convenience of their large list of patrons, the Home Telephone Company has per- fected arrangements whereby they are able to furnish their subscribers every day with the weather forecast for this district. This service is some thing that will be appreciated by the citizens of Ozark as we'll as the farmers in our contributary territory who enjoy telephone conveniences supplied by the local exchange. Especially will it be benefit to the farmers and fruit growers during the winter months when times it may per chance that smudging would save an orchard. To know in advance when to expect frost would give the gardner an op- portunity to protect his delicate plants, and to know when rains may be expected would mater ially assist the farmer in laying certain plans their success more or less dependent upon the weather.
 Manager Swindler states that the official government forecast is received over their lines about 10 o'clock a. m. and that patrons of the local company may re- ceive same for the asking at any time after that hour. A great many people are beginning to realize the actual value of the telephone which progressive managers are seeking every day to make more convenient and more beneficial to the local com- munities.

Wildcats Latest Gasser Proves Field
 Is Not Linited---Activities l n Frank
 lin Increased More Machinery Enroute

The following is taken from the Fort Smith Southwest American, Sunday edition:
 That the failure of the Clear Creek No. 2 in section 2-9-30 Crawford county to be big pro- ducer is due to a fault or broken foundation is proven, according to experts, by the Wildcat No. 2 in section 28-9-30 which came in as a 12, 900, 900 cubic foot gasser Saturday afternoon. Although the Wildcat No. 2 like the Clear Creek No. 2 did not uphold the theory that the biggest stuff in the Kibler field ran toward the east it did badly upset the sug- gestion that the test was out side of the producing belt.
 The Clear Creek No. 2 has so far proved such a disappoint- ment that some of the more skeptical were inclined to believe the field would fall far short of expectations. The failure of the Pennock we'll in section 7-9-30, to the north, the Commonwealth No. l in section 34-9-30 to the south, to prove big producers exerted an influence in this mat ter. The Pennock is four miles north and two and a half miles east of the Commonwealth.
 The Wildcat No. 2is 2.315 feet deep. It measured 28 feet in thickness or 20 feet more than the pay in the Clear Creek No. 2. The Wildcat No. 2 made gas at 1,776, 2,12O and 2,25O feet previous to the big strike.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swump-R0 DR.. Kllmer's Prescrtp-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-.
narkable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust OF sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Klmer's Swamp.
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is Dr.. Kilmers prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

Arsenic Absorbed by Living Hair.

Arsenic Absorbed by Living Hair.
New light has been thrown on the
legal side Of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. 1t has been
found that arsenic compounds are alb
sorbed by the hair of living persons,
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair of a man arsenic has been
known to reach a concentration Of one
to five parts in 100000. The deposit
takes place in the hair after it has
been absorbed by the abdominal Or
gans-liver and kidneys in particular.
Therefore, in cases Of acute, quick
poisoning, chemical analysis Of the
hair would show no arsenic, while it
would be found in the liver and kid
neys. On the other hand, If slow ar
senic poisoning were suspected, an
alysis would show arsenic in the hair,
but not in the liver and kidneys, and
1t could safely be assumed that the
poisoning was not recent. The legal
value Of such evidence is apparent.
