 lNFERTILE EGGS INCREASE PROFITS.
 Arkansas farmers lose thousands of dollars every summer because the eggs from the flocks spoil be- fore being marketed The greater part of this loss is due to a partial matching of fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate. Pro- duee infertile eggs and thus help to increase the food supply in this state and your farm profits. h. fertile eggs keep best and market best in the summer, while fertile eggs spoil quickly during hot weather The rooster does not help the hens lay. but he merely fertilizes the germ of the egg, which is unnecessary if the eggs are not U be used for matching purposes. The fertile germ in hot weather quickly becomes blood ring which spells the egg for food and for the market. Summer heat has the same effect on fertile eggs as the hen or incubator.

COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCIL.
Organized al Fl Dorado Wednesday to Assist
 the National Government.

About thirty patriotic citizens ] from various parts of the county met in the court house at Fl. Dora ] do Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock and perfected the organization of the Union County Council of De- fense by electing J. K. Mahony, R. N. Benson, c. H. Murphy. Albert ] Rowell. Dr. H. Fl. Niehuss and Finn Craig as the executive com mittee, they to choose a secretary who will also be member of the committee.
 Geo. W. Mason, who was one of the committee on organization ap- pointed by Gov. Brough and who attended the meeting of the State Council recently at Little Rock. made an interesting talk on the aims and duties of the County Council. It is to be regretted that every citizen in the county did not hear him as the people would real ize more fully than they do the seriousness of the condition this county faces on account of the war and how careful all should be in their speech and how alert to detect anything to the detriment of the government.
 At this state meeting addresses were made by men high up Tn mili- tary, railroad, agriculture. legal, medical and other professions and from the summary given by MT. Mason none of them looked for war to end short of three years. The 1 fact that we would probably have a greater car shortage than ever was hinted at. The fact was also drought out that France has every available man in service and no more to draw from and Eng lands strength just about at it's zenith. Germany and her allies have 100000 more men in the field now than at any time during war and new army of 100000 ready to enter the service January lst of next year. These two facts alone should bring us to the real ization of the fact that the winning of this war is up to the United States and every man. woman and child should have patriotism enough to do all in their power and perform every reasonable service requested of them and do so will ingly.
 The executive committee of the County Council was empowered to appoint a chairman in each town and locality; said chairman to se- lect his own assistants to perform whatever services they may be called upon to do.
 While the work of the council will be largely that of coordinating the work of various bodies now in existence, such as the County Council of Agriculture, Red Cross, State and County Health Boards. There will be much other work that it will be necessary to per- form such as making an industrial survey of the resources of the county, assisting in the sale of Liberty Bonds, preventing sedition, furnishing military information, as- sisting the exemption board in their work, as we'll as railroads, indus trial plants, etc.
 The chairman for Huttig will probably be appointed by next week and we trust that he will be given all the assistance needed along every line of Work and that no one who he may request to per form some particular work will be unpatriotic enough to refuse. |

SAVE HOME GARDEN SEED.

 SAVE HOME GARDEN SEED.
 There is possibility of serious garden seed shortage this coming year and everyone should make a special effort to save at least enough seed for the home garden Plants for seed production should be most vigorous and prolific and if seeds are selected from these they will undoubtedly, be equal to or superior to what can be bought and at the same time will be true to name and free from disease. For the benefit of those who may wish to supply their own garden seed. an Extension Circular giving di- reetions on how to save the seeds of beans, peas, beets, carrots, cu- cumbers, egg plant, lettuce, okra, peppers, parsnips, radishes, pump kins, squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, tGrnips and others has been pre- pared and will be sent to anyone interested upon request.
 COOK FOOD PROPERLY.
 Food must be cooked properly if through the process of digestion and assimilation the individual is to get the most out of it, Simple dishes well prepared are far better than expensive dishes badly cooked. Many persons are pfeju- diced against certain good foods because when first tried the foods were improperly cooked or pre- pared. Learn how to cook all kinds of staple foods and to serve them in variety of ways. Try to like every simple food; give it fair trial. Recipes and instructions for cooking all kinds of staple foods will be sent upon request by the Extension Division, Fayetteville. Specify kind of food for which you want recipes.
 USE FERTILIZERS FOR POTATOES.
 It will be false economy to fail to use the customary amounts ot fertilizers for fall potatoes because of the high prices. Every effort should be made to increase the yield per acre, not only because the world needs food,s but because there never was better opportun- ity for the farmers to make good profit from potatoes. There is little danger of over-production be- cause of the large demands that will be made upon the United States by the European countries in spite of the fact that conditions indicate yield somewhat higher than last year. That fertilizers pay is shown by the fact that Eastern states use thousands of tons every year and secure a yield of from POO to 800 bushels per acre. Arkansas farmers could s. cure similar yields if proper atten- tion was paid to the fertility of the soil.
 Some growers are using mix ture of acid phosphate and cotton seed meal at the rate of 500 pounds per acre, with good results. On all except the very sandy soils nitrate soda can be used at the rate of 100 pounds per acre in- stead of the cottonseed meal and even better results secured. 1t is not advisable to use lime on pota- toes where there is any liklihood of injury from scab, but if the seed is treated with formalin or corrosive sublimate and is planted on land free from infestation, lime can be used with profit at the rate of two tons of ground lime stone or 1900 pounds of burned lime per acre.

Case of Ford
Is Postponed

Although a special venire was sum-

of the court The defendants attor-
neys, when the case was called, an

J. B. Wall for the state asked for a
postponement of the case on account
OF the physical inability of the at
torneys, John w. Bennett, of Way
cross, and A. ]. Mcdonald, of this
city, both of whom have been associ-
ated in the prosecution of this case on
behalf of the prosecutor, Mr.. L. O.
Tisdel. In overruling the motion for
postponement Judge Crum took occa-
sion to state that in criminal cases the
solicitor is the leading attorney and
that the state is not entitled to priv
ileges that the poorest defendant
could not secure from the court, for,
stated the court, that inasmuch as
tfatthat if such prosecutor was unable
to pay for additional counsel, the
states prosecutor would have to pro-
coed. this case should take the same
direction.
After some lengthy consultation
between the attorneys for the prose-

DAVIS AND MOBLEY
SHOWN lEN|ENCY
BY JUDGE CRUM

Thursday afternoon George Davis
and Marsh Mobley, variously charged
with violations of the prohibition law,
appeared before His Honor Judge D.
A. r. Crum, and plead guilty to the
indictments, pledging in the future to
strictly adhere to the road of right
cousness and to forever forswear the
appearance of evil" more partic-
ularly as regards the violations of the
acts for which they were indicted.
Atty. O, II. Elkins entered his plea in
behalf of his clinets, and was strongly
assisted in presenting his plea for
lcniency by Rev. L. A. Hill of the
Central Methodist church. Rev. Hill
in making his plea for these men,
stated that in as much the object OF
the law was the correction Of wrongs
and the redemption Of men, it would
appear to him that since both men
faithfully promise the court and the
people Of Ben Hill county to abstain
from selling or handling prohibited
beverages, its purpose would be serv-
ed in allowing these men to pay a
reasonable fine for cases docketed
against them and 90 accept their
promises in good faith for their future
good conduct.
Judge Crum in announcing sen
tcnce of $4,000 for each OF the two
defendants made it plain to the ac-
cuscd that in showing this lenency he
vas prompted by their expressions OF
GOOD faith in their future conduct and
that he believed that each Of them
will become law abiding citizens in
the future.
The case Of Wiley Williams. who is
also charged with the same offense
and who is now absent on account of
his health, was also allowed to take
the same direction on the plea of his
attorney, Sen. Elkins.

TWO VARIETIES OF POISON
TAKEN TRYING TO END LIFE
Miss Maude French, Nurse, in a
Serious Condition at Hospital.
Had Been Ill Several Weeks.

Selecting her funeral garments from
among her effects and writing two mes
sages, Miss Maude French, a nurse,
yesterday afternoon took two varieties
OF poison in an effort to end her life.
She was in her room at the house of
Mrs. Ophelia r. Hayden, 706 H street.
when she took the poison. and when
the double dose caused her pain she
summoned the landlady and told her
what she had done.
An ambulance was summoned and the
patient was taken quickly to Emer-
gency Hospital. Restoratives were ap-
piled and her suffering was relieved,
but physicians this morning were not
able to assure her friends that the
danger point had passed. Miss French.
they stated, still was in a critical con-
dition.
II fought this act for a long time"
was the beginning of one of the two
unsigned messages. Il did not want to
take my own life, but could stand it no
longer. I know God will forgive me
and justly punish those who have made
my life miserable. unnecessarily"
The other message reads: Lay mo
word to Mrs. ]. D. Peters. Pennington,
Conn.,"
Mrs. Hayden told the police that Miss
French had not been well for ten days
or two weeks. The nurse. she stated.
told her that attempts were being made
to poison her by placing the poisons in
her food. Her statements, Mrs. Hayden
declared, resulted wholly from Miss
French's imagination.
Miss French. who formerly resided in
Pennington. had been a resident of the
city the past several years, and had
been a roomer at the H street house
during the past two years.
