Arkansas Has Most
 Careful Smokers. 2

No other State in the Union
 has such small percentage of fires due to tobacco users as Arkansas. Recent compilation of figures on causes of fires shows that Arkansas has the most careful tobacco smokers of any state in the Union. Only seven tenths of one per cent of the fires of known origin start from this cause in Arkansas. it is shown by.fgures in possession of the Arkansas Actuarial Bu. reau. In the United States in one year. however, smokers were responsible for burning up of S4, 5O5 963 worth of propertw.

Your Soil Work
 ing All Season

1. Keep your garden working all season. Hasten early crops by starting seed in boxes in the house, in hotbeds and cold frames if the weather prevents outdoor planting.
 ?. Get your ground ready for planting as soon as the soil is dry enough to work.
 3. Plant for early crops as soon as the weather permits. Make successive plantings of lettuce. radishes, beans and other short season crops.
 4. Start new crops between the rows of plants that are soon to be removed.
 ,. As fast as the ground is cleared of one crop start a new crop.
 6. See that your garden to ward fall Is full of potatoes, beets turnips, cabbage and other sta pie foods that can be stored for the winter.

Fire Bugs" To Be Prosecuted.

Arkansas is going to make it hot for the fire bug, paradox ically speaking.
 Tt is going to be made so hot for the fire bug that he will have to quit burning up property in this state, says Judge Felix Lindsey of the State Fire Marsh al's office.
 Under the law passed by the last legislature the state fire marshal has authority to inves ti- gate any fire and if there is reason to suspect arson the state will furnish investigators to run down evidence and a prosecutor to assist the district attorney.
 Any citizen may cause all in yestigation to be made ot a suspi- cious fire by having the local au thorities. such as mayor, sheriff county judge or ffe chief make an official request of the fire marshal, and the department is anxious to get on the trail of such offenders.
 Already the office is active and while the work they are doing along this line mus necessarily be done on the quiet it is said that coming grand juries in var ious parts of the state are going to have interesting testimony to consider in connection with sus picious fires.

Save the Surplus

Save the surplus every day, even though that surplus be but a pint of beans, peas or anyth ng else which can be used for food next winter,' says Miss Emma Archer. State Home Demonstra- tion Agent with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas. Every effort should be made to can such vegetables ds beans. beets. carrots, egg plants, okra, peppers, squash, peas, sweet corn, etc. Drop a card to Miss Archer at the Old State House. Little Rock, and in formation concerning canning and preserving foodstuffs of all kinds will be furnished to any woman in the state. Get your canners ready. The following outfits for canning have been thoroughly tried out and can be relied upon.

 be made large enough to hold six or eight quart jars. A lid
 should be provided for the wash pot or whatever is used for COOK
 ing purposes, and enough water should be added after the false bottom and jars are placed in to to come to the lid of aMason jar. 2 Another cheap outfit to use, and oue which IS very pracsicl. ble, consists of worl out zinc tub to be used as furnace. Gut the bottom out of this tub, cut a

door about 6 inches square on one side, and on the other side cut hole large enough for the elbow of a stove pipe. Add two joints of pipe and your furnace will be completed. On top of this tub place a good zinc tub, allow ing the rim to it over the one used as furnace. This tub is the reservoir. Inside this tub place another tub of the same size. cutting in the bottom eight holes about the size of quarter of dollar. Take care that this tub does not extend more than one inch above the top of the res ervoir tub, This is the tray in which to place cans or jars when ready for cooking. No. ? or No. 3 sized tubs should be used for the  furnace. A sugar barrel cover may be used for d lid and the eff ficiency of the entire outfit may be increased by connecting two one inch pipes to the bottom of the tub used as a reservoir, as this increases the heating capac- ity.
 OUTFITS FOR INDOOR CANNING
 Where the canning is to be done indoors, and where the gas or oil stoves are to be used as furnace, the zinc tubs may still be used. one as a reservoir and

ed 2 ounces of Paris Green and one cup of cheap sugar. After mixing the Paris green and bran make the poisoned bran into a dough with the syrup, scatter this mixture around the hills where cut worms have been working, along fence rows where they usually emerge. "
 Cabbage worms can be con trolled by using applications of ounce of arsenate of lead paste or l-2 ounce of the powder of arsenate of lead in one gallon of water. To this it is advisable to add about 1 4 ounce of any kind of soap in order to make the solu tlon stick to the cabbage leaves Apply every 10 days until two weeks before using. If outer leaves are discarded there is no danger from the poison.
 For potato bugs, dust the po- tato vines as often as is necessary with mixture of one part by weight, of Paris green to "A parts of lime dust. or better than this, If one has the means of applying this poison in liquid spray, is a mixture consisting of one ounce of arsenate of lead paste, or 1>2 ounce of the powder and l 4 ounce of Paris green in a gallon of water. This mixture should be applied about every ten days Cucumber beetles. rather small and lemon yellow in color with three black stripes down the back, are usually great menace to growers of squash, melons, cucumbers and related plants. They should be controll- ed by dusting with arsenate of lead or by spraying, using 1 } pounds of powder or 3 pounds of paste and 50 gallons of water. About ? pounds of soap should be added 70 make the spray stick to the plants.
 Plant lice should be controll ed most conveniently by spray ing with one of the nicotine prod ucts found on the markes. Black Leaf 40" is the most com mon product known in Arkansas. S.
 Farmers and gardners who have difficulty in controlling the pests which attack their crops should write to the State Ento mologist at the University of Ar kansas, Fayetteville, for circu- lars which deal with these pests and their control They will be sent free upon application"

War Causes Immortality

London.-A prominent physi- clan in speaking of a wave of i'm morality he says Is sweeping through England, states that the main trouble is the concentra- tion of women and men in the intuition plants and villages without proper accomodations for social intercourse.
 He points out that the natural attraction of one sex for the oth. CT demands companionship, and that there would be more mar riages and less carousirg g if SC gregation of the workers was eliminated.
 He advocates the establish ment of properly conducte1 amusement halls where the men and women workers can gather evenings and dance, play cards and indulge in other harmless amusemeDts which he says will relieve the tension caused by working at full physical and mental capacity.

sumers Of lumber (which it is not) to
buy is in straight car lots it would cost
less per thousand feet to sell it, as a
matter of fact, but not 10 percent of
the lumber consumed in the average
community can be sold in carlots and
no mill, either north, south or west,
can fill an order for the average house
even if carload is required, for the
reason that the average home today
contains from two to six or eight
pieces of wood, all growing in and
manufactured in widely different
parts of our country. Lumber must
come direct from the manufacturer to
the nearest point of consumption to
be economically distributed. The re-
taller assemblies it in his yard in car
lots and distributes it to his custom
ers. He can buy in carlots as cheap
as the cheapest. He buys it direct
from the manufacturer. he only pays
one freight and one profit (your in
formation to the contrary notwith-
standing) and that to the manufac-
turer. Lumber is heavy, bulky and
comparatively cheap product.

Lear the Facts for
Your Own Profit

1t will profit directly every man
and woman to learn the facts about
lumber-its cost, its adaptability and
its intelligent use. The forest Ser
vice report has spoken the last werd
and we invite your critical examna-
tion of the facts and figures as set out
in the center of this page. 1t has re-
mained for the National Government
to prove to you the utter untruth and
insinuations concerning a Lumber
Trust" that on the contrary, COM
petition has been so keen that these
products have been marketed at
small profit, and frequently at loss
during the gfeSter part of the time in
recent years, The Government
did not compel or dmand of the man
ufacturers or retailers Of lumber that
thew furnish information for the For
est Service report herein quoted. On
the contrary, they requested it, and
the government officials were over
whelmed with offers Of the lumber
men to furnish information, The
lumbermen were more than gratified
that the Government intended to pub
lish the facts about the lumber in
dustry. A volume has been compiled,
and some of he essential facts are
set out in the center of this page. We
ask of you your candid judgement.
You have been led to believe that ev
cry time you went to local lumber
yard you paid an eXhorbitant price.
Do you believe it is possible to as
semble lumber, in your community
from the south, north and West and
distribute it to the consumer, from
fence picket to house or barn bill,
at lower cost to do business, or at a
less prifit? We believe the consumer
never obpects to paying fair and
reasonable profit on what he buys
when he knows it. You now have
the unbiased facts and statement of
the Federal Government, and it is
herewith submitted to you with the
belief that it will be accepted as the
truth, which it is.

How Lumber Is
Distributed

Remember so percent of all the
lumber cold in the average communi-
ty is sold in wagon loads or less, not
in car lots. 1t is possible for lum-
ber yard to do fair amount of busi-
ness and not sell as much as car
load to any one consumer in whole
year. If it were possible for all con-

ment, with concrete floor, hot water
heat, sewer, gas, water and electric
light connections and fixtures, paw
ing, bath room and fixtures, closets,
etc. etc, were $1,550.O0 of this cost,
which shows that in order to install

Your Opportunity

All the consumers of lumber in
the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys
have a greater choice of building
woods than in any other section of
our country. They also enjoy great
er comparative conditions among
these several woods and a difference
of two to five cents in the freight
rate often determines the species of
wood used c. scl1
Meade County news., 1917-03-29

To get lumber from the manu-
facturer to the consumer at the
lowest cost, it should come with
but one freight paid. Manufac-
turers being unable to furnish all
kinds of wood used in the aver
age building, the local retailer is
the only agency thru which this
service can be rendered to the
consumer. This retailer is there
fore, in position to render a SER
vice possessed by no other a
gency. He is always in position
to furnish what the consumer
is unable to obtain in mixed
shipments.

The small town enjoys the
same freight rates as the large
city and is therefore at no dis
advantage in buying on account
of higher freight rate or on ac-
count of the quantity purchase.
The carload is the economic unit
in the purchasing Of lumber al
ways and the country dealer can
buy a carload or two carloads or
FIVE carloads as low as the large
or city buyer.
Meade County news., 1917-03-29

Don't be deceived by state
ments to the effect that yoA pay
four or five profits when you buy
lumber from retailers. Most
arge mills have their own selling
force and sell their lumber to the
retailer direct. Many smaller
mills which cannot maintain
their own selling force sell their
entire output to the wholesaler,
who sells it to the retailer in
competition with the large man.
ufacturer who sells his own lum-
Der thru his own office. The
large manufacturer and the
wholesaler are active competi-
tors for the retail trade. Low
price and good quality always
get the business.
Meade County news., 1917-03-29

95 per cent of the lumber con-
sumed in the building of new
homes and barns, and in repairs,
and for general purposes, is sold
thru the retail lumbermen. The
purpose of this advertisement is
to show that lumber is not sold
by the retailer at an exhOrbitant
price, and we offer the Govern
ment Forest Service report here

ment... Uuon the broad cOncIu-
