it Every Part Of Sebastian County
and Explain Urgent Necessity
Of Intensive Farming.
Fort Smith

III I bhAANh
An organization was formed at a
meeting of wholesale merchants, seed
men. farmers and others for the pur-
pose of enabling Fort Smith and Sc
bastian county to do their part in
winning the present war, as well as
providing their own food. The first
important movement will be a visit to
the farmers in the county by an au-
tomobile train OF 100 cars, from which
speakers and demonstrators will eX-
plain the urgent necessity Of inten-
sive farming. This committee viii
commence work next week and will
visit the farmer in the field if neces-
sary.
One Of the suggestions made at the
mesting was that the state secure 4O,-
900 acres of land and cultivate it with
convict labor. A canvass of the stock
Of local wholesale seed houses show
ed an unusual shortage.
c. w. Watson, state demonstration
agent, told the audience in most em-
phatic manner that unless the people
raised their own food they would not
be fed. He also spoke Of the possibil-
ity of Communicating men to work on
the farms so that production could
be raised to its highest point.

New Test for Color Blindness.

A new and accurate test for color
blindness has been devised in Sweden
and is described in the Upsala
Lakareforenings Forhandllngar by
Drs. c. G. BostrOm, G. f. Gothlin and
II. J. Ohrvall.
1t Is made with a chart on which
are evenly scattered patches of color,
all very much alike and Of irregular
outline, showing the white background
between them all. They are light
and a dark reddish lavender and a
dull cherry red. The dull red patches
are arranged in such way that they
form a large figure three or six, but
as these are exactly the same tone as
the lighter lavender ii would be impOs-
sible to distinguish the figure unless
one was certain Of the difference In
tint between the red and the laven-
der.
The figures are to be spoken aloud
as read.

with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,

edy.
1t is a physicians prescription
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in,
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.

it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
