Some Sample Profits
Senator Cummins submitted
some startling figures to show
the war profits" gathered in
by a few men, not only in this
country, but in belligerent
Europe.
Since Augest /, 1914-the day
hostilities began-174 corpora
lions have been organized in this
country, some of them immense
ly large, for no other purpose
than TO manufacture munitions
OF war for Europe.
During the last fifteen months
there were exported to Europe
from this country arms and am
unition valued at $161 1854, N6
and the reports are increasing
month by month.
The market value of the stocks
of seventeen of the companies
engaged in this war traffic has
increased in the time mentioned
1872, ,056, 500. If accurate figures
were secured concerning the ad
vance in the stocks of all the
companies affected, the total
would, it is estimated, exceed
$3.50, 600, 900.
When the Europeon war ends
these values will go up in the
air, unless A new market

CALONEL DYNANITES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Lose a Days
 Work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea
 If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get 50-eent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straishten you Up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money
 If you take calomel today you will be sick and nauseated tomorrow: besides, it may salivate you. while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. Adv.

He was silent a moment Then his eyes opened fully, and a smile of bril- liant hope, as of a man who has laid strong hands on an adverse fate, flashed over his wan features.

 That was all. His voice. reused for that brief moment in the strength of a reborn happiness, passed like a ripple on the face of the deep silence Very gently she slipped the long cloak from her shoulders and laid 1t over him.

From the high tower of the mosque a white-robed figure greeted the one God in solemn thanksgiving

 Then came the gay, joyous call of a bugle and the chatter of arms. The woman rose slowly to her feet She stood for a moment facing the grandeur of rising light; then she bent down, and with swift strong hands bound the unresisting figure into a semblance of its first helplessness. Stern indignation blazed in her eyes ss she lifted them for moment, but 1e neither fiinched nor hesitated. Only ss stified groan broke from the blood less lips she bent lower and kissed Aim.

weeds out of the row Do not cultivate the garden while the plants are wet with dew, as it is a good way to spread diseases.
 Soil. The ideal garden soil is one that is of sandy loam nature and containing an abundant supply of or. ganic matter. This type of soil is of ten not found in nature. Tn fact, there are many sections where a first class garden soil does not exist Fortunate ly. however, we can take very poor soil that has good subsoil and build 1t up so that 1t will produce excellent crops of vegetables. There is nJ fer tilizer that is better suited for this purpose than the stable manure a small supply of which is generally found on almost every farm. The ma nure should be applied broadcast over the ground and this turned under some time before the planting is to be done This will give it time to rot | before the plants are to occupy the ground Most of our gardens need to be broken deeper, thus giving a greater capacity for water and lessen ing the danger of drought during the summer When planting time comes on supply of we'll routed manure should be on hand so that We can apply some in the row before plant ing, It is necessary to have the soil made as fertile as possible because this induces a rapid succulent growth and hence produces vegetables of the highest possible quality. A vegetable grown on a poor soil is almost invaria. bly tough and stringy. while those grown on the fertile soils are tender. crisp, and palatable. No other part of the farm is equal in importance to the home garden. Let us make it pro- duce more.
 We know that Arkansas can and does produce some of as high quality vegetables as are grown in any sec ton of the United States. This Is proved by the fact that here and there over the state we find farmers who. on a small one-fourth to one half acre of land, are growing all the vegetables that the family can use the year round. It is now time-to be- gin the work for the fall and winter enrden.
