SHELTER THE TOOLS

Rust wears out more farm tools than use. A good blow or should not be left out in the rains all this winter. Some authorities say that the lack of shelter of farm tools costs twenty per cent of their value. In other words, the life of a blow or a mower or other farm implements is shortened
 twenty per cent thru unnecessary exposure. It takes only a few
 boards and some trash or straw, or hay or fodder to keep tools dry. Why not start the new year by getting all the far m tools under shelter. Then during Janu- ary is the exact time to get all tools in order for spring, blows sharpened, woodwork painted, broken bolts replaced, harness mended ready for spring work.

Hon. T. C. McRae of Prescott announced yesterday that he would not continue in the race for governor.
 Mr. McRae believes that there Is An organized official and pol ltical machine that has long ex- lsted and has already accom- pished a practical destruction of elections by the people, and this machine with patronage, pardons and printing has in the past repeatedly defeated the will of the Democratic voters of the state"

DOUBLE THE FLOCK

On four-fifths of the smaller farms of Arkansas the poultry flock should be doubled. to say the least. Gull out the two year old hens and buy more young; sell the old roosters if you have com mon stock and buy some good cockerel and keep him with your best hens for three weeks before you wish to use any eggs for matching. Keep one breed. whatever breed you like best. It will pay neighbors to get to- gether on one breed of chickens as with cattle and hogs Write the Extension Division of the College of Agriculture for free bulletins on Poultry.

REPUBLICANS FAVOR SHIP
 MENT OF ARMS.

The matter of the shipment of munitions to the entente allies and the neutrality of the United States bobbed up in the Senate Wednesday. Senator Lodge. rank ing Republican member of the Foreign Relations Committee, de- clared the placing of an embargo on arms would be worth more to Germany than a million men and would be a grossly unneutral act that would make the United States the ally of Germany. Sub sequent discussion developed the following:
 The first war loan placed in this country after the war began was a loan of $25, GOO. 900 to Ger many.
 Germany has procured arms and munitions in this country.
 The markets of this country are open to Germany as well as to all other countries.
 This government does not dis tinguish between belEgerent nations and has taken no action to prevent any belligerent from buying in our markets.
 The condition which prevents Germany from obtaining arms from this country is one brought about by war and without the assistance of the United States. If the United States should un- dertake to reverse this conditio 1t would at once enter into the war and be guilty of an act of unneutrality. Gazette.

Ozark, Ark, January 6.

OZark, Afk., January b.
 Coroner Dolph Schriver and a representative of the Gazette left Ozark at 2 D. m. yesterday. to where the tragical scene took place, arriving there at 4:30 o'clock, l3 miles from Ozark, found A. M. Nixon lying across a little narrow farm road near a creek, little over a quarter of a mile from Nixon's residence. About 10 feet from where Nixon was lying was a big tree, on the right hand side of the road, where q mans tracks were visible, and from behind this tree, no. doubt, the assassin fired the fatal shot, killing him instantly. Nixon left his home yesterday Wednesday,, on a horse, and had not been gone more than } minutes when Mrs. Nixon and his son, II years old, heard gun shot and the boy said to his step-mother, Maybe Papa is killed. let us run and  see. - Reaching Nixon they found him dead lying on his back as if he had been turned over. for his hands had dirt and lea yes in them, indicating that he had fallen on his face from off the horse. His horse was hitched to small sapling near the deceased.
 The Coroner had a jury of 15 men summoned immediately after arriving on the scene. The jury found that Nixon had only been shot once. appeared he was killed with Winchester. The ball was 32. The ball made slight flesh wound across his right arm, entering the right side below the nipple, ranging upward about ? inches above where it entered, coming out on the left side. Four witnesses were examined. C. R. Thomas said when he reached Nixon he was dead, lying upon his back. w. H. Crabtree stated that he had been to see Mir. Nixon at 2 a. m. yesterday Wednesday,, and had purchased some corn from Nixon, and Nixon told him he would meet him about 9 o'clock to measure up the corn which was in house near w here the deceased was kille d. and Mr. Crabtree was al this house awaiting for Mir. Nixon when he heard a gun shot. He hastened to where he heard the gun shot and found Nixon dead, lying upon his back. Mrs. NiXod and Dennis Nixon, the II year old son. they too, found Nixon dead and lying upon his back, and his horse hitched to a sapling. The boy said he be- Geved he saw a man running thru the woods. carrying gun, wearing a brown coat and light hat, The verdict of the cor oner's jury was. That A. M. Nixon came to his death by a gun shot at the hands of an un- known party"
 The blood hound, with the officers reached the scene at $50. The dog trailed the assailant some distance to a tree where it is supposed he sat and doctored his feet in such a manner that it prevented the dog from trailing any further.

Making ! Friend

often you come across people who
complain that they have but few
sends. They will point to other per-
sons who have many and wonder why
zach distinction is made. III
ME matter is easy enough to explain.
IL. as some one has we'll said, the only
Nay to have friend is to be one.
For friendship cannot possibly be a
one sided matter. Just as it takes tive
to make a bargain or. quarrel, so does
it take the same number to make a
friendship III.
No one can stand aloof from others
waiting to be sought without expert
encing keen disappointment, this be
cause friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over as
you stand off by yourself and say:
"Now, there's some. one I'd like to
know I'll make point to draw him
or her out and take all the pains posi-
BILE to establish friendship"
That's not the way it happens in
real life, although some still imagine
that it is. What really happens is
this: Two persons meet, and gradually
they find points of congeniality, grad
ually each does little favors for the
other, gradually feeling of affection
takes root in each heart. Neither one
is thinking of what can be gained from
the acquaintance; rather, each is think
ing and planning to give instead of
take. In other words, each is trying
to be a friend unseff1shly. And, 10, 1t
is the very thing which makes their
friendship. s:.
