PUT IN WINTER COVER CROPS.
 VERY VALUABLE.

Do not forget the value of wheat, oats and rye for cover crops. There are four distinct values Of these three cover crops.
 First They produce fine winter pasture.
 Second. They lessen the washing of the soil and loss of fertility.
 Third The green plants use plant food that is being liberated through out the winter and when they are plowed under great deal of plant food is saved which would be lost othrwise
 Fourth. The plants blower under in the spring will not only add fertil ity but humus to the soil and thas in crease it's moisture holding capacity
 If you have any questions to ask concernin gthese cover crops or care for bulletins on this subject write 70 the Extension Division University e4 Arkansas at Fayetteville, Ark.

DIZZINESS IS ANNOYING.
As Many Mena People know
 Too Well.

When the kidneys are weak or disordered, they fall behind in fil- tering the blood of poisons. As these poisons attack the nerves, the result is felt in spells of vertigo, just as drunkenness will make a man dizzy from the poisoning of all cohol. Dizziness, headache, back ache and bladder weakness, are all signs of weak or disordered kidneys and should not be neglected. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the home-en- dorsed kidney remedy. Read this Mena residents statement;
 Mrs. W. X. Baker, 706 Jansen Ave, Mena, says: My kidneys were weak and have always thought that bad drinking water caused the trouble. I had dull, steady ache over my kidneys and it hurt me to stoop or lift anything l suffered more during the day on account Of being on my feet so much. My limbs used to swell and I often got dizzy. Sometimes. my kidneys acted too freely, then again, they didn't seem to act at all. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Jackson Drug Co, soon helped me and four boxes rid me of the trouble v

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin> ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, ti4esiness, dreamtu1 sleep, durability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown.
 To correct nervousness, Scott's EmuI- sion is exactly what you should take; it's rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to it's refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

|L.W.W. FINANCED
 BY GERMANY MONEY
Disclosures Show That Every Pos Sible Effort Was Made to Ham per United States in Prepar-
 atiOnS for War.

Washington, Sept 7-Reports and disclosures made to officials here in connection with seizure, on Wednesday, of l. w. w. documents turnout the country indicate, it was said today, that there has existed for some time a nationwide con- spiracy to hamper the government in every conceivable way in car rying on the war.
 Opposition to the draft law, burn ing of crops, some of the sO-called labor disturbances and attempts to curtail production in war industries, reports indicate, were all part of the same alleged conspiracy, whose prime motive was thought to be the crippling of the governments activ- ities in every way possible, short of forcible interference with the mil itary and naval operations.
 The investigation begun by the federal grand jury at Chicago in connection with Wednesdays raid on l. W. w. offices turnout the cOun- try will go into all phases of the al lged conspiracy. Officials said that it probably would be the most com prehensive investigation undertak- en on behalf of the government since this country's entrance into the war.
 Conspiracy Nation Wide.
 It was intimated today that the governments theory is that tine al legged conspiracy was entered into in Chicago, although it's operations extended to virtually every section of the United States.
 In the light of reports made re- gently to officials here, the number an instances of opposition at widely scattered points to the draft law were part of the general alleged conspiracy and were prompted by virtually the same set of men.
 Stated Forest Fires.
 Burning of wheat fields and at tempts to burn spruce forests in the Pacific northwest essential to the airplane program, it was thought, were but another phase of the al- legged general conspiracy. Dozens of sporadic attempts to cripple war in- dustries by strikes and acts of vio- lence are regarded as third phase Publication of articles designed to create anti-war sentiment were a fourth phase, it was thought, of the same general movement.
 Indications point it was said, to a group of men, considerable in num- Der, who. constituting what might be termed the executive force of the alleged conspiracy, directed all it's activisites thru lieutenants.
 Point to German Money.
 Many evidences. it is said, point to Ia German fund from which money was layishly supplied for the work of the alleged conspirators Hereto fore the connection between German funds and activities of persons ap- parently hostile to the government had not been established.

SPEAKER is SOME FARMER

Bismarck, Dec. 3O.-Howard R.
Wood, of Deering, who is slated for
the speakership, confesses that he is
farmer Gin a small way" W7Ea
not employed in rounding up leaguers
and talking Equity, Mr.. Wood looks
after a patch" of seven quarter sec
lions of his own, and in addition
leases a quarter or so. OF late years
he has been working gradually into
diversified farming, planting more
and more meadow each season to
tame grass and adding to his stock
of purebred cattle. He believes that
it is much safer to grow into diver.
siied farming than to jump into it.
It costs lot of money, he points out,
to change from wheat to stock all at
once, but if the change comes gradu-
ally not a great amount of money is
tied up in any one year, and when
the transfer is made solid founda-
ton has been laid for diversified
farming. F. B. Wood homesteaded the
place in Ward county in 1900. His
family has owned and worked it ever
since, adding to it quarter or SO
at time. Now the Wood farm is one
of the best in the northwestern sec
ton Of the state, and the "E5ys"g. III,
justly proud of it. .. I
