VISITING NURSE
 AIDS SICK POOR
 IN MATERIAL WAY
First Report of New Official Gives Figures That Show
 Results Gained.

Although Pine Bluff has had visit ing nurse only since March 2, and nas been able to make a report for only eight working days, due to the fact that she herself is ill, the report, read last night at the monthly board meet ing of the Associated Charities, made it plain that the visiting nurse, Miss Durham, has already accomplished much.
 In those eight days Miss Durham handled II cases, of almost as many different kinds of illness, and each of the cases has shown improvement of a gratifying nature, because of the very great assistance rendered by Miss Durham to the physicians in charge Miss Durham made 45 visits to the IA patients in the eight working days covered by the report. Ten of the cases were referred to her by the Associated Charities. one by the coun- ty health officer, one by the Wcodmen and two by physicians of the city.
 In each case, Miss Durham has started her labors by thoroughly cleansing the sickrom and the sick bed, providing, where necessary, sup plies from the loan closet of the As sociated Charities. She has kept an accurate bedside report of each case. for the benefit of the physician, and has otherwise seen that the instruc- tions of the physician have been car ried out. all of which has tended great lv to the improvement in the condition of the patient
 The report of the visiting nurse was the principal topic of discussion at the board meeting, which was largely attended, and there was sincere grati- the movement for the establishment of such service here, for the benefit of the poor of the city.

MUNICIPAL COURT
 SHOULD INCREASE CITY REVENUES
Provisions of Law Show That City Will Get Ad-
 ditional Fees.

The question having been raised as to whether the operations of the mu- nlcipal court will add considerable expense to the city, thus to prevent the council, at this meeting next Mon- day night, from adopting an ordinance to increase the salaries of city police men, the following is what the muni- cipal court law itself says in the mat ter of expense:
 shall keep two separate accounts of all fines, penalties, forfeitures, fees and costs received by him from any of the officers of the city, township or county, as in this act provided. The first class of accounts shall embrace all such sums collected in the muni- cipal court in civil cases, and criminal cases arising out of the violations oi city ordinances. The second class oi accounts shall embrace all such cases arising out of the violation of any ot the laws of the state. and in all other criminal proceedings not in this sec ton specifically enumerated.
 After appropriating out of the fines, penalties, forfeitures, fees and costs embraced in the said second class of accounts, one-half of the ex. penses of the municipal court, not in. cluding the expense of the constable's office. the balance of said accounts Q; the second class shall be paid by the city collector into the county treas ury, settlement between the city col lector and the county court being hat Tor that purpose each year betwee, the fifth and fifteenth days of Januar, of the succeeding year."
 l The city must pay half of the salar, of the judge, who is to receive $2,OOi per annum, and half of the salary O ! the clerk, who is to receive s1.2O0
 This is a total of $3,20O, half of whicl is $1,600. The police judges salar, l Is $500 a year. As this cffice i. abolished, this expense will not be o. l the city. These figures show that thu increase in expense to the city of tn, municipal court over the. police cour will be just $700. To offset this tn, city will receive, not only all the fine imposed for violations of city ordi nances, as now, but all fees colleote, Fin civil cases, which certainly vii amount to more than $70O per annum This appears certain because of tn fact that the municipal court vii possess Jurisdiction practically exclu sivel within the township, and concur rent with justices of the peace thru out the remainder of the county
 While the expense of the city will in crease $700, the city is practically as l sured of additional revenue of five 0 more times that amount through tn
 collection of fees in cases which ar now handled in justices of the peace courts.
 As has been pointed out,, there ar
 just two things that will prevent tn
 municipal court from being revenu
 producer for the city: Gross neglec i of duty, or such an improvement i conditions that there will be no nee
 for courts.

WHAT One man ACCOM-.
/ PLISHED.

And it came to pass that after
he had advertised his goods, there
came unto him great multitudes
from all the regions around a.
bout and did buy of him. And
when his competitors saw it,
they marveled among themselves
saying; 'Howbeit that this man
is busy while we loaf idly about
our doors?" And he spake unto
them saying; In this fast age Of
push and rustic, it is easier for a
camel to enter the eye ola needle
than for a man to flourish with
out advertising. It's needless to
say they got busy at once and
each took a page to start with,
they divided up the other fellows
biz in a short time, by simply ad-
vertising. It always pays.

Virus Causes Cholera.

If a farmer has a herd of heal
thy, thrifty hogs, free from lice
and worms, fed and cared for
according to the most approved
methods, he can cause every hog
to be diseased by turning chol-
era hog into the herd. That is
common experience. And yet
how frequently does someone
suspect other causes. Such a
person is trying to get away
from the fact that virus from a
sick hog is the only that will
cause other hogs to become sick.
He suggests that a change of
feed to green corn has caused the
disease, that turning on mast is
responsible. that dry lot feeding
after running at large has pro-
duced he disease, and some even
suggest causes such as eating
weeds. lice, and worms.
The virus of hog cholera gains
entrance into the hog and causes
the disease. nothing else does it
Any of the secretions Of the sick
hog contains this virus. and if
these are injected into healthy
hog the disease viii be produced.
If-when a hog becomes sick.
one were to take the secretions
from that hog and introduce
them into a susceptible well hog.
hog cholera could be perpetuated
indefinitely. Farmers are doing.
that thing today, not Intentional

Three Ways for Merchants to Cooperate
With Farmers.

First, provide greater conven-
fences throughout the town for
the country people to use while
in town on business. With all
the shade trees posted "$5 Fine
for Hitching Here" and all the
grass plots posted Stay off the
Grass" /" and no vacant lots near
the business centers, country
people often suffer great incon-
venience in finding suitable pla-
ces for keeping their stock while
in town or in finding a place free
from dust and filth 10 eat their
own dinners, which IS often nee
essary to carry with them.
Provide. rest rooms where the
country women and childrrn can
go when through trading; where
the mother can leave the smaller
children which she is forced to
bring with her while she does
the family trading: where coun-
try people who find it convenient
to bring their lunches will have a
suitable place. free from dust,
filth and flies in which to eat; a
common meeting place for coun-
Gy friends or town and country
friends to find each other.
2. Merchants should encour-
age cooperation among farmers.
There has. been fo single hind

got into Mr.. Ed Smiths flock of
sheep at his home on the Mulber-

in an uncomfortable way. They
killed 20 lambs, damaged 10. and
damaged s or 10 old sheep. Such
raids as this make the the neces-

strongly evident than words can.

opment of the South's unlimited
resources. Better rural conditions
are fundamental in the South's
development. Larger profits from
farming is the only hope for the

ditions better. Cooperative farm
ing is the only method that has

3. Merchants should help
each county feed itself, The
merchants of every town should
render valuable assistance by
being able to inform the farmers
of the fact that they are having
to bring into the town from. out
side the country a certain num-
Der of bushels of oats, corn, Irish
potatoes, so many bales of hay,
pounds of meat. butter, so many
hundred cans Of tomatoes. prach
es etc. They could help the
farmers to standardize their pr O.
ducts so as to meet the demands
Of the market. The farmers as
a whole throughout the South
know but little about preparing
their products for the market,
The merchants know what their
trade demands, when they have
to make their purchases, ETC.,
and this information given to the
farmers will stimulate a greater
