RED CROSS AGENT
 PRAISES ARKANSAS
Says Only S2O0, 900 Was Expect ed and More Than $500, OOO
 Is Raised,

Reports received yesterday from over the state indicate that Arkansas contribution to the $1O0, 900, GOO Red Cross fund raised in the United States will total more than $500, 900, three times more than the minimum apportionei to the state.
 While the $100, 000.0 .000 goal was based on $1 per capita. the money centers of the East were expected to give the bulk ,of the fund, and they did. Arkansas and other Southern states were expected to give only about from 15 to 20 per cent of the per cap- ita, according to w. l.. King, field secretary of the Red Cross, who conducted the campaign in Arkansas.
 Arkansas has done the big gest piece of work in her his- tory" Mir. King said last night. While we fixed s1, ,50O,OO as the theoretical goal, we would have been content with only S200,000 That amount was fix ed as Arkansas minimum share and would, in a sense, been the states full share.
 Arkansas is not a money cen ter, and has a large population of negroes, 40 to 50 per cent in some counties. Only a small per cent of them were expected to give anything. which reduces the states giving power to a very low percentage. Also some agricultural centers suffered by short crops, especially in the fruit section in the northern and north territory.
 Campaign of Education.
 The raising of the $500, GOO is more remarkable because in a sense the campaign was one of education. Few of the ..people had any conception of the pur- poses of the Red Cross. It's ob- iects had to be explained. This detracted from the money gath .ring. because the committees nad to explain the use to (which lhe money was to be put. It was only a natural condition, how ever.

THAT FALL CROP OF IRISH POTATOES

There seems to be no doubt in the minds of many of the best farmers in Arkansas that a pro- ftable fall crop of Irish potatoes can be grown if all the necessary precautions are observed. This, coupled with the fact that the supply in Arkansas is fast being depleted. has made it advisable for the specialists of the College of Agriculture at Fayetteville e to speak up. Consequently. Pro- lessor w. H. Wicks has written Circular No. 30 which deals with this subject thoroughly. In this circular Professor Wicks points out the varieties which are most to be depended upon. He also discusses the question of SeeC and seed sources. preparation of the land. when to plant, how to plant, and how to cultivate. as we'll as the best methods of har- vesting and storing the crop, B, 900 copies of this circular art just off the press and any faruief in Arkansas who desires this in formation should write to tn
 College of Agriculture, Fayette vile, for this circular.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness IS caused by aninflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness IS the rssult. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness are caused by Catarrh. which is an an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars frae. All druggists. 75c.

According to the marshal's Office,
Yuen Fai cannot produce certificate
that shows he is entitled to be in the
United States. The Chinese declares
that he used to have such q certificate
but has lost it. A tpeculiarity Of the
law is that the government does not
have to prove that Yuen never had a

have one. This he says, he can do.
