Arkansas Wheat Superior to
Any Grown in United States

afford to buy Arkansas wheat,
pay the freight both ways and
ship their flour back to Arkan-
sas. They advised that they
were buying Arkansas wheat,
paying an extra fancy price for
it to help the quality Of wheat
bought elsewhere.
We have paid out since June
Is practically one-half million
dollars for Arkansas wheat
and we expect to buy a great
deal more. We are bidding the
farmer today $40 to $3.50
loaded in cars in 400-bushel
lots, difference in price depend
ing on location. The wheat crop
will bring our farmers thisyear
between two and three million
dollars and will bring the mon
ely to them at the time most
needed.
The present high price of
cotton and cottonseed is going
to be a great temptation forthe
farmers to go back to raising
cotton, but every farmer ought
to raise some wheat, as it will
help the land. Wheat on the
land in the winter will protect
land, furnish winter pasturage,
and the straw stack will help
to winter the cattle the follow
ing year.
The worlds wheat crop this
year is 25 % 35 per cent short,
and the prospects are for very
much higher prices on wheat
in the next two or three years.
We honestly believe it would
pay every Arkansas farmer to
raise some wheat.
We take this opportunity to
thank your good publication
Tor helping Arkansas IN this dl-
versified movement.
We are not opposed to rails
ing cotton; in fact, we think it
would be unWise to decrease
the yield in Arkansas, but, like
you, we think it wise to de-
crease the acreage andincrease
the yield per acre, and use the
acreage thus gained for raising
foodstuff and feedstuff.
Remember that we will buy

Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling-off in the sale Of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs so cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief In every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is pleasant tast-
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
TO both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose Of ealomel today and tomorrow
You will feel weak, sick and nauseated.

BOY ACCIDENTALLY
KILLS LITTLE BROTHER

Friday morning about nine
o'clock while Jasper Pitman, a
farmer living near Skagg's
school house, four miles east of
Pocahontas, was at work on
the levee, and his wife was
busy in the cotton field, their
nine-year-old-son, who with the
other children had been left at
home, took a loaded single
barrel shot gun from the rack
and was attempting to 'tbreak"
it to see if it was loaded, when
the weapon was discharged the
entire load taking effect in the
right side of the head of his
1our-year-old-b brother, inflict-
ing a frightful wound and
causing instant death. The
mother hearing the shot rushed
TO the scene, only to be greeted
by the heart rendering spec
tacle of her little son mangled
and llfeless, while the innocent
perpetrator of the deed was
almost frantic with horror and
unavalllng regret.-Pocahon-

CAREFUL HANDLING OF
COTTON PAYS WELL
Staple is Valuable and Care
Should be Taken to Get it to
Market in Good Shape.

Cotton growers now have
one of the best opportunities of
many years to profit by in
creased care in handling their
cotton, according to cotton
growing and marketing spec
ialists of the United Staes De-
partment of Agriculture.
Care in picking, assembling
and hauling seed cotton, and in
ginning, as we'll as in the hand
ling of the bales, may result in
raising the selling value Of the
fiber materially. This is true
every year. During the present
season, however, the restricted
crop and limited supplies at
the mills, coupled with the
steady demand, have sent
prices to high levels, making
the increase in returns to the
grower for each higher grade
proportionately greater. The
advantages in receiving the
highest possible grade are so
obvious under the present fav-
orable marketing conditions,
that many farmers no doubt
will adopt the more careful
methods which make the high
er values possible.
Ordinarily the matter of
grades does not receive nearly
enough attention. AS a result,
farmers lose several million
dollars annually. This loss
would beproportionately great
er under the prices this year
if there were no improvement
in handling practices. In 1911
the average price of middling
was 9.56 cents; in 1912, 1920
cents; in 1913, 13, 40 cents; in
1914, 7.94 cents, and in. 1915,
11.99 cents. Middling is now
selling around 16 cents.
The following suggestions
for practices which will tend
to raise cotton grades are made
by the cotton marketing spec
ialists of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture.
Don't pick cotton before it
has matured. This will insure
tstronoer finer -ea
Pick carefully to avoid mix
ing leaves and trash in your
seed cotton. Don't store the
seed cotton on the ground. Such
precautions will help keep the
lint clean and white.
Don't have cotton ginned un-
til it is thoroughly dry. Gin
ming while the cotton is wet
produces a rough, neppy lint
which causes great waste in
spinning. Such cotton therefore
will not bring the best prices.
When practicable have the
ginner run his machinery slow
ly enough to produce an even,
smooth lint, and pay willingly
slightly increased fee.
Protect your baled cotton
carefully from dust, smoke and
moisture, either hauling it to
market or storing it on thefarm
or elsewhere.
1t also pays to handle and
store cotton seed carefully. This
product is easily damaged if
stored on the ground, permit
ted to get wet, or otherwise
carelessly handled. Cotton seed
is now selling at high prices
and the farmer, therefore, will
profit by keeping it in such
condition that it will top the
market. 1t will also pay him to
keep the seed in good condi-

YOUNG MANS
CAPITAL
o q % 6s @ 3 @ q q 3

Young man, don't lament be-
cause you were not born into
this world with a silver spoon
in your mouth. Don't worry be-
cause you do not have rich
father. Don't grieve over the
thought that poverty is your
worst handicap.
The most successful captain
of industry in this country
came into the world as poor as
YOU are, some of them much
poorer, but they had plenty of
capital of the best kind If you
haven't it, it is probably your
own fault.
Better than money and in
heritanee, a settled income or
a bank account, for the young
man who wishes to succeed in
business, is his health.
This is the foundation of all
things substantial and real in
life so far as happiness is con-
cerned. If, together with health,
you have character, intelli-
gence, industry and politness,
you have the things that con-
stitute the most valuable CAPT
tai with which to start upon
your business career.
Every moment you spend re-
pining over your condition and
envying the success of others,
or in anxiety because you do
not move as fast as some one
else who had a better start, is Il
wasted moment.
Think of the successful men
who started as you are starting.
Judge Gary, head of the most
important steel corporation,
was farmer boy; A. Barton
Hepburn, the eminent New
York banker, was a school
teacher; John D. Rockefeller
was clerk in a grocery ANDREW
Carnegie, a telegraph opera
tor; Henry C. Prick, master
builder of the steel industry
and possessor of one of the
finest art galleries in the world
worked on a farm during vaca-
ton to get his start; John D.
Arehbold, president of the
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, was struggling sales
man in the early days of the oil
excitment in Pennsylvania, and
Frank A. Vanderlip, president
or one or me greatest banks IN
New York, was newspaper
reporter in Chicago.
These are not solitary exam
pies. You can find them al
about you in every community
1t IS the common history of
nearly every successful bust
ness man III the United States.
Think of these men. Emulate
their example. You have all
they had when they started,
perhaps more, so you start ev-
EN-.
Young men, it is for you to
start fresh, buoyant, hopeful,
healthy and happy on the high
way that leads to success.
Start right.-Leslie's Weekly.

Editor Newark Journal
When the war broke out two
years ago, it looked like the
Arkansas cotton farmer was
facing ruin. To help this situa-
ton we appropriated one thou
sand dollars to advertise wheat
growing in Arkansas and we
started out to sell at cost five
thousand bushels of seed
wheat.
The idea of raising our meat
and bread in Arkansas took
like wild-fire. Your good pub
LEGATION, together with several
others, aided us materially in
this movement, which was
started several months before
the other campaigns. When
the wheat season was over we
found that we had sold thirty
thousand bushels of seed
wheat. We had put out more
than ten thousand letters on
how to prepare the seed bed
and the kind of wheat to SOW,
also found that we had more
than double the wheat acre
age in Arkansas as a whole and
had succeeded in getting prac-
tically one hundred thousand
acres sowed in wheat that had
formerly been in cotton.
The quality of the first crop
was exceedingly good, but UNI
fortunately just at harvest it
began to rain. Last year Ark
ansas raised more than twice
as much wheat as the state had
ever raised before, but the wet
harvest affected the grade just
as it affected it in practically
every other state. This year we
had almost perfect conditions
for harvesting, but the yield
was not up to expectation. The
yield in every soft wheat state
this year was very disappoint-
ing, still the yield in Arkansas
is better per acre than in Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana, Tonnes
see and Kentucky, and the
price received by the Arkansas
farmer is higher than the price
received by the farmer in any
other state.
considering that the value of
the wheat land above mention
eu Is ITUHI IwU 10 Iuur tunes
higher than the land sown in
wheat in Arkansas, this makes
very fine showing for Arkan-
sas wheat.
Our laboratory investigation
developed the fact that Arkan-
sas soft wheat makes a whittier. T
fluffier biscuit than any soft
wheat we have been able to
buy.
Recently we received a con-
tract for five thousand barrels
of our Dolly Dimple flour, af-
ter the Hinrich's Laboratories |
of st. Louis had made a test
on Dolly Dimple, which was
made from Arkansas wheat.
compared with one of the best
flour made from Missouri /
wheat.
Hinrich's Laboratories goes
further and states that the Ar
kansas wheat flour was of bet
ter value than the Missouri for
biscuits. The fact that mills in
lndianna, Missouri, Illinois,
Tennessee and Kentucky sent
their representatives to Arkan-
sas this year to buy wheat is
evidence that the mills in other
states are beginning to realize
that Arkansas wheat makes
better flour than any soft
wheat in the country.
We had an opportunity to
write an Indianna mill that
bought twenty-five thousand
bushels of Arkansas wheat.and
we asked them how thew eould
