 There will be substation for the distribution of power to Sherrill, Tuck CT and Ferda, the voltage being re- duced from 33,OOO to 6,600, for these purposes, all sufficient for the needs o fthese neighborhoods.,
 At England another substation will distribute current for light in that town, and furnish power for two cot ton gins and for the flour mill.
 At Lonoke the substation will dis tribute current for that city and Car lisle, and for the rice mills at both places. Next spring the company will furnish power for the pumping ma chinery, irrigating 2,000 acres of rice fields near Lonoke.
 The company is also completing the transmission line out of Paragould, which will carry the current to Pick cit, a distance of 28 miles. This line will send the power to Marmaduke Rector, Greenway and Pickett. It will carry 22,OOO volts. The company also has a transmission line from Para gould to Cardwell, Mo-, distance o1 ten miles.

SNAPPED WITH AN AK.

An interesting bit of news was brought in yesterday from Plum Bayou. It was to the effect that two negroes, Clayton Williams and John Gills, engaged in a fight. Williams was getting the worst of the Inix-up when he picked up an ax and swatted Gills on side of the head, felling him to the ground. Williams did not wait to see the effect of his blow, but dropped the ax and trekked off to parts unknown. Gills rose to his feet rubbed his head, looked about and walked off in a nonchalant manner considering himself the victor because his assailant had fled.

DISREGARD THE CHAIN LETTER

If you receive a chain letter ask
ing for some contribution of a pa
triotic nature, don't feel that you are
being unpatriotic by neglecting to
answer or breaking the chain. The
government considers chain letters
of sorts illegal, too liable to lay the
public open to fraud, and would rath-
er you would not answer one of them.
This was brought out following
the receipt of a chain letter This
letter was sent to Washington and
the following reply was received:
I'm reply to communication of 10,
you are advised that II. o. Horette
is. no longer connected with the
French consulate at Seattle, Wash.
and that the consul there is doing
all he can to stop the further circu-
lation of the chain letter. The de-
partment is informed. however. that
the money received by the French
consul in response to these chain let
tiers is being properly disposed OF.
The department regards endless
chain letters as illegal for the reason
that they generally work fraud up
on the public"

THE SOUVENIR MCKINLEY
GOLD DOLLARS

Early in 1916 Congress authorized
the coinage of one hundred Thousand
souvenir gold dollars in commenora-
tion of the erection of the Mckinley
Birthplace Memorial and for the pur-
pose of aiding in defraying the cost
of completing the work.
The coins bear Mc<inley's likeness
on the diverse AMI representation
of the Memorial OIL the reverse
side. AS Mr.. Butler describes them:
1.-THE outrage is unique and rare, ex-
employing the unostentatious lntelli-
gence of the owner of the souvenir,
the great things in American history"
as well as his or her reverence for
When these 100000 are distributed,
no more will be coined; this fact
alone will add value to their possess
sion, and that value will increase as
the years go on.

DAMAGED GRAIN
MAKES ALCOHOL

The corn crop although it will
bring an excellent price this year, is
not as good in some parts of Audi
bon county as reports will have. A
lot of the corn is soft and a sample
of this soft corn was on hand at the
grain office Thursday morning. In
discussing the corn, it was stated
that a great deal of the soft corn Will
be purchased by the grain dealers.
but it will not be used for ordinary
grain purposes. This wet and soggy
grain that is immature is o. X. for
the making of alcohol, and if whisky
was still allowed to be manufac-
tured, it could be used for that pur-
pose. Al present grain dealers pay
so cents a bushel for this corn and
the market may be higher. How
ever the majority of farmers are
feeding this corn. One Audubon
county farmer has sold a field of the
same to a stock raiser for $40 an
acre and the stock are being turned
loose in the standing corn field.

TWO CENTS TAKES
LETTER LOCALLY

A little relief has doomed in sight
for the business man who makes a
practice of mailing his statements
and other advertising matter in the
city and on the rurual routes. Any
piece of mail which is to be delivered
by the carriers of the postoffice,
whether in the city or on the rural
routes, goes for two cents. This will
make great deal OF SAVING and
should not be overlooked. When
sending out your mail, bear in mind,
that letter going. within the city dis
trict, or on the rural routes out of
Audubon can be carried for the GUS
tomary two-cent stamp.
