Farm Cultivation at Good VIII

The Good VIII Farm community re-
spends to the appeal to do its share
to prevent the general food shortage
next winter. 100 acres of land had
been plowed previous to the appeal of
civic authorities. OF this land about
50 acres will be used for grain and
seeded to grass; the remaining 40
acres will be planted to potatoes
sweet corn, beans, rutabager and 9TH
er vegetables, but since the general
appeal, Walter Price. who has charge
of farm operations at Good Will, has
arranged for the cultivation Of an.
other 10 or 90 acres This added
tract is to be plowed at onces and will
be planted with potatoes, corn and
beans.
Supervisor lIinckley has now put
up another proposition to philan-
thropic people, namely: If they
will purchase another team-a pair of
horses and harness and furnish the
commercial fertilizer, an additional
Is or 20 acres will be turned under
at once and cultivated in the interests
of humanity and the prevention of
food shortage. He would like to see
1870 acres under farm operation at
Good viii this summer, and if his
proposition is accepted he will very
nearly accomplish it.

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat Which Clogs Kidneys, Then the Back
 Hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull mis- cry in the kidney region, severe head aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoonful in glass. of. wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes. and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive: makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid- neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots ofk lad Salts to floks who be- lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.-Adv.

GUNTHER PUT UP BONDS OWNED BY
 SCHOOL DISTRICT
Council Will Endeavor to Collect $2,000 for Fail
 ure to Fill Contract.

That bonds of value. of S2,000, put up by Little Rock bond broker who was to negotiate loan for the city, are the property of schol district developed at the council meeting last night, and the plan of procedure by the council, which declared the surety forfeited, will be decided at the next meeting of that body.
 Mayor Bloom presided with a full attendance. The regular monthly accounts were allowed, and reports from the various officers received. The report of Police Judge J. R. Stew art showed a total of $1.159 in fines for the month of September. Pound master Perry Walker showed collec- tions in his office of $91.50 for the month just closed.
 The question of proceeding in the matter of the $2,O00 guarantee given by J. O. Gunther, that he would nego- tiate loan of $1O0,O0O for the city, the money to be used for the purpose of redeeming city warrants, etc., was taken up. It developed that the bonds offered by Mr. Gunther were not owned by him, but belonged to the school township of Columbia. There was nothing to do but return the bonds to that township. No ac- tion was taken in the premises last night, but the matter will be taken up again at the next meeting.
 Representative I. F. Magee and O.. G. Keeler, representing the local A. o. U. w. lodge. presented request for permission to conduct a carnival, but no action was taken, because of the existence of an ordinance prohibit ing carnival in Pine Bluff. The lodge- men stated the carnival desired to show here next week. but the lodge would not consider it, desiring to avoid doing anything that would conflict with the tabernacle meeting now in progress.
 A letter from City Engineer Frank R. Allen, thanking the council for past courtesies. and announcing that he had been detailed to report for duty as an army officer on October 1,
 The question regarding changes that will have to be made in the city hall in order to provide for the mu- nicipal court, which will be instituted in January next, was not acted upon as Alderman F. T. Miller, chairman of the police committee, asked for further time to consider the matter. There are number of details to be worked out, and there is ample time for action.

HOUSE MEMBERS ADOPT BIG WAR
 BILL REPORT
Senate Expected to Take Sir4ilar Action Tomorrow
 After Brief Contest.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The confer ence report on the war tax bill was adopted by the house today without a roll call. It is to be taken up in the seante tomorrow.
 Senator Simmons will call up the re- port and he expects it to be adopted not later than Wednesday. Senator Shoot and others have indicated that they wifi make a fight on certain iea- lures of the report, but it is not be- lieved they can send it back to con- ference.
 So confident are leaders that the re- port will be adopted, that Democratic Leader Kitchin tonight advised Demo- crats that they were at liberty to go to their homes at will. He expects the session to end within week or ten days.
 There virtually was no opposition in the house to the bill. MT. Kitchin explained all of the provisions of the bill, enumerating particularly the points on which the house won in con- ference. and Representative Fordeny of Michigan the ranking Republican member of the conference added his endorsement. Representative Cooper of Wisconsin roundly criticised the in crease in the second-class mail rates. Representative Green of Iowa insisted that the bill should have been at least $500 ,OOO, ,OOO higher. A dozen others spoke, and the report was adopted
 Opinions still differ as to the amount the bill will raise. MT. Kitchin esti- mates it at 257,00O,0O0. while treasury experts believe it will be g. 535 ,OO0,OOO during the coming year, and possibly $2,588,OO0,O00 year when in full operation.
