New Ky. Schedule.

The change of schedule on the
Warren Branch of the No. Pac
Ry. Co., mention of which was
made in these columns last week,
became operative on Wednesday,
the Bird inst. The new schedule.
as affecting Monticello, is as
follows:
Day trains:- Going West, ar
rive, freight depot, Z 100 a. M,
leaves passenger depot 500 a.
M; going East, leave passenger
depot 1895 a., M, connecting
with North and South trains at
Dermott. Night trains Going
West, leaves passenger depot
1915 p. M; going East, leave
II 80 a. m.
The regular passenger train,
which has been running on this
branch for a number of years,
Tin fact so long that it was look
ed upon almost as a fixture) !,
] has been discontinued, and the
two trains now running in and
out of Monticello are mixed
freight and passenger trains.
As previously stated in this
paper this new schedule is put on
by order of the Ark. Railroad
Commission, at the instance OF
a number of citizens residing on
the Warren Branch, and not by
the Railroad, so if the schedule
does not prove satisfactory to a
majority of the patrons of the
road, they will know where to
lay the blame.
Time will soon tell whether or
not the change will prove salts
factory to majority of those af.
fected thereby.

Fred Forrest PardOned.

Fred Forrest, who was sentenc-
ed and sent to the penitentiary
from this county about seven
years ago, to serve ten year
term in that institution for the
alleged la eeney of a horse and
mule, was pardoned on Friday
of last week by Governor Brough.
Forrest was at large when the
pardoned was granted, having
escaped from the Penitentiary
about year ago. He has been
living 6 or Z miles northwest of
this city, since his escape, where
he made crop this year. While
the off RS, here, were we'll q,
ware of his whereabouts they
made no effort to apprehend
him, as he had been taken into
custody on two or three former
occasions, after escaping from
the Pen and returned to that
institution, only to remain a
short time, AMI the officials here
decided that no effort was being
made to detain him by the Off
GERS of the penitentiary, so de-
eided to let him alone. Judge
H. w Wells, of this city, went
to Little Rock and secured the
pardon.

Soldier Boy Writes Home.

We are herewith publishing a
short sletter from one of our
home boys, Bert NJ. Dumas, 34th,
Company, Bird Reg. U. S. Ma
rine Corps.
The letter was written from
Santo Domingo City to Miss
Berta Matthews of this place.
Bert enlisted before he was
nineteen and won several
meals while recruit at Port
Royal.
This letter shows the spirit in
which every soldier should enter
the conflict.
Santo Domingo City,
34th Co. 3rd Reg
Sept. Is, 1917.
Dear Auntie:-
Arrived in the city yesterday and
our Company is standing by to go to
the states for duty in France.
Now don't get alarmed;,for we may
not go at all; say that is the report
from our Company Commander.
There is one machine gun company
in each Reg; the 34th is the machine
gun company of the 3rd Reg.
If we do leave for the states will
write you the day we leave and the
day we arrive, so you will know the
exact place l am.
If God wills that go to France, it
is for me to do my best, and make a
good account of myself.
A machine gun always holds the
most dangerous position, one that men
with the regular rifles would be unable
to hold; one must know the parts, how
to load, to operate, and if it should
jam be able to remedy it correctly and
quickly.
am rated as gun pointer, so
feel l can do my bit.
Now let me say again, don't take
this as a factor in this service you
never really know until you are under
way. l feel | would be doing myself
as we'll as you, an injustice not to tell
you just what reports are in circula-
lation.
With love to you,
Your nephew,
Bert NJ. Dumas.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer'S Prescrip-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as.
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

How the Airmen Eiuht.

The pitfalls and dangers which an
aviator must avoid at the front are
becoming more numerous every day.
Anti-aircraft guns mounted on fast
motor cars, chase around the country
behind the lines and prevent the enc
my airplanes and Zeppelins from re-
naming over our territory. This type
of battery was responsible for the Yep
pelins brought down at Compiegne in
April, 1917, and Revigny, in April,
1916. In fact this invention was one
of the immediate causes of the Ger
mans giving up their "strafing" with
Ieppelins. The record for distance and
height in hitting an airplane with this
type of cannon is $1,000 feet In the
air at 5000 yards distance across
country. A very large crew is re-
quired to man one of these cannon.
Besides the cannon telephonist gets

the German machine is fiying.-Carroll

THROUGH STEEL FOOT THICK
Now In Use in the European
War.

We hear much and have read more
about the power of big guns and havoc
they create, yet very few people really
understand the immense power behind
one of these modern engines of de-
struction, writes a war correspondent
What, for instance, do you understand
by the power Of fl5-inch gunW
driven seven miles away from the wall.
II inches thick and made of the hard
est steel then take an automobile and
drive seven miles away from the wall,
Arrived at that point you will find
big gun aimed at the wall you have
left seven miles behind and which you
cannot see. Go over to the gun and
pull the lanyard The steel that you
release by pulling this lanyard viii
travel through the air the entire dis
lance you have come by automobile
and will go right through the 12-inch
steel wall.
The most powerful land guns ever
made are the German howitzers or
165-inch guns. The most formidable
steel and concrete forts are cracked
open by these huge guns as though
they were made Of paper. Naval guns
cannot be developed to the same size
as land guns because IT Is more diff
cult to handle one of these aboard q
ship. For that reason the greatest eff
fective range with Il naval gun Is from
eight to ten miles. The largest naval
gun Is the 1J-inch gun on the famous
British superdreadnaught Queen Eli
zabeth, while the German 42-centimet-
er howitzer, which reduced Antwerp
and other fortresses believed impreg-
nable, Is the most powerful land gun.
The great guns aboard the Queen Eli
zabeth fire projectileo which weigh a
ton. The United States, however now
has guns defending the Panama canal
and New York, which hurl through the
air a mass of metal weighing almost
400 pounds more than the British SUI
perdreadnaught's guns.

ALL cows ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.

the milk produced by each cow Is add.
ed and sample of the milk is tested
about the middle of each month. The
value of the butter fat and skim milk
is calculated and the cost of the feed
consumed Is deducted therefrom.
These monthly figures are entered ON
another sheet for the yearly record.
Take, for example, the years record OF
the COW Fannie. She freshened late in
| December 1914, dried off October %,
1915, and freshened again December
%, 1915. Her profit above the cost
of feed amounted TO $4S.39 for the year
1915.
A comparison of the yearly records
of the seven cows with their photo
| graphs Is interesting. With the pic
lures at hand 1t will be seen that one
cannot judge the production of a COW
for the year from her conformation
| alone. The cow Myrtle was a surprise
| to her owner for while she had never
given large quantity of milk at a
milking, her record showed her to be
persistent mixer. She stood Sec
ond in profit over cost of feed and re-
turned to her owner more than the
| combined profits Of Ellen and Blanche.
The combined profits of Fannie. Dla-
mond, Pet and Myrtle amounted to
$1S2.1S, or an average of S45.04 per
cow, while the average profit of Diana,
Ellen and Blanche was $23.76, or about
one-half that of the first four cows. If
this dairyman had had seven cows as
good as his best four, he would have
had total profit Of $31730 instead Of
$253.45, a difference of $685.. This
amount would be large return for the
time spent In keeping the records.
Value of Dairy Records.
The only safe way Of valuing dairy
cows is by the quantity Of milk and
butter fat they produce. This neces-
states the keeping Of records. These
records will point out the good and the
Improbable cows; the dairyman can
save the offspring of the good cows,
so that he will soon have herd of
large and economical producers.
The dairy milk sheet enables the
feeder to prepare proper rations and
feed these according to the quantity
of milk produced. All cows should not
be fed alike; the high producers re-
quire more feed than the low produc-
ers. Without records 1t is impossible
to feed economically.
Three common rules for feeding are:
ID Feed l pound of grain to every 3
to 4 pounds Of milk produced, or !
pound of grain daily to every pound
of butter fat produced per week (2}
feed all the roughage the cows will
eat up clean; and (3) cut down on
the expensive feed when the cow boz
gins to gain in live weight.
In addition, the daily milk sheet en-,
ables the dairyman, when a drop &C.
ours in the yield of milk, to detect and
ward off or check cases Of illness that
might become serious if not treated
promptly, and it also enables the own
er to check up on the thorOughness
of the milking Of the different EN-
ployees. Breeding records also should
be kept in addition to production rec
ords.
Records are not only valuable to the
owner in the aforementioned ways,
but they aid in selling his stock. One
man in a contrasting association sold |
his cows for $25 to $50 more because
Of their records.
