SAYS WE CAN'T
APPRECIATE WILSON.

To the Editor
We are very glad the editor OF thi!
paper came back at us last week. III
says this is no time to start argu
ments over President Wilson's poll
cies, and IL is not our intention TO dc
So" but that Is just what his and most
other republican newspapers have
been doing. He further says that the
president "in not knowing just how
far he could go with his program and
have the support Of his associates
showed a short coming that has been
evidenced all through his Official
career" We suppose by his "asso-
ciates" the editor means congress and
we consider the shortening" the
editor refers TO as a very good long
coming, where the president showed
good horse sense when he went be-
fore congress I'm person and explained
his program" and the causes demand
ing the carrying out of that program,
and IL congress (his associates) re-
fused its support, 1t was up TO them.
The president went ahead just the
same. as we stated before. and pro-
ceeded TO carry out his program"
because he knows he had the great
mass of the people behind him. II
this IL "short-coming" IL Is one than
will cost some OF his opponents their
seats i'm congress later on. We are
delighted to hear the editor say the
"so-called stand pat republicans were
all behind President Wilson"-the
greatest compliment the president
could receive. Thanks.
But the president fell down" the
editor continues, with the leaders OF
his own party" and for this reason
there is no excuse for the president
not knowing where the members OF
his own party stood on his PROPOSE
ton" The great mass % the Ameri-
can people don't agree with you Mr.
Editor on the fall down" proposition
President Wilson, as was his duty,
gave congress a chance 10 put up or
shut up; he gave congress plenty OF
rope to hang itself. I'm the eyes OF the
people, IL II wanted to-

SUFFERED BEVERLY
 EVERY MONTH
Lady Tells What Cardui Did For Her and What It Will Do For
 Suffering Women.

Deepwater, TexaS-"I think Cardui
 is indeed wonderful medicine" says Mrs. Minnie Starnes, of this town. "In 1905, l broke down in health sud denly. -. suffered agony. Had bear ing down pains :. also my back and limbs and hips. Sometimes l was in bed all the time and again I was just able to be up. 1 suffered most severely at and would be con- fined to my bed four five days.
 Nothing did ever did me any good until took Cardui, but suffered two years this way before l took Cardui. One day my husband ;. . saw the Cardui advertisement He got me a bottle, I began taking it and next month I never felt any pain at all, did all my work without any trouble.'
 Mrs. Sarns says she did not take any more Cardui then until 1908, when she took four bottles, with excellent results. She concludes her statement with the following: "I would advise all expectant mothers to give Cardui a trial. It will relieve all anxiety and fear as is natural for them to have. 1 konw, for I had the experience my self"
 Judging from the experiences of so many thousand of other women, you can depend on Cardui to surely help you, if you suffer from any of the complaints so common to women.

Pine Bluff Chamber Commerce Activities sn ffe Past Year Annual Report
 

To the President, Trustees, and Mem
 berS of the Chamber of Com
 merce:
 am pleased to hand you herewith our report of tho activities of tho or ganization of the term of 1916-l917, or since our last annual report as of june, 1916.
 Meetings.
 As usual, vour beard has held an average of two meetings each month, which has had an average of attend ance of eighty per cent of it's mem- bers. The board has been very ener- getic, and the members liberal in their time, and in the development of the in terest of the organization and com munity.
 Industries.
 The period of whica the report coy CTS was one in which, owing to ab- normal conditions, brought about by the war, there has been vary little op- portunitv to obtain industrial plants Tn high cost of machinery, and in- ability to obtain it. are some of the feasons why more industries are not started but we have had our share of these, compared to oth,r cities in the state, and which includes the 4essab Gshmcnt of the Twin City Hardwood companv, of Minneapolis. Minn., who have established concentration yard with facilities to handle three hundred cars of lumber per annum, and, just within the past thirty days we have secured tho Grant Manufacturing company, with an investment of about S25 900, and an annual pay roll of $25 ,000, and who manufactures hick- ory hand 9s, and said to be the very best to be found on the market Our avn hardwood and implement deal CTS make this st2tnmert.
 Our own industrial plants have in- creased their capacities in some in stances very remarkably, as, for in- stance, tha Saline River Hardwood Lumber company have doubled their by the addition of S6O.O0O 1, to their plant, and the Arkansas Oak i Flooring company, 9 like amount. piv- ing both plants facilities of doubling their output which is now, for each sixty thousand feet of oak flooring per day. The Pine Bluff Lumber company improvements amount to $10o00. and the Standard Lumber company $15.0O0 Our cotton ail mills have all added to their ca

paclty, and this is true of practical. i ly every industrial plant in the city.
 Agricultural
 The organization has continued it's great interest and attention in the de- Velopment of the agricultural inter- csts, they paid particular attention to the diversification of the erog5. and the increase in the yield. Since our last meeting we have had three county demonstrations, by federal and agri- cultural experts. This work has in cluded the boys and girls club ex1ib- it's for which more than S125 in prizes were awarded, tick and cholera eradi- cation campaigns. and, in fact all oth- CT agricultural improvements Our inf rest included both the white and CoIored farmers.
 lmmigratio nfrom the northern and western states continues very satisfac- tory. our efforts being directed to- wards bringing in just those people who have financial resources that jus tiles these experiments, and qualifi- cations, rather than the idea to have any and all classes to locate in this county. The result of this kind of immigration has been that those who have come, remained to join the Boost CTS Brigade, instead of becoming a knocker.
 Transportation.
 The recent activities of our agricu,- tural committee, by which the private gin owners were called together to take action on the gin law, passed by our legislature of 1917, and which was not only expensive, but burdensome in other ways to the private gin owner, resulted in our chancellor enjoining the enforcement of the law against that class, saving them thousands of dollars annually, and resulting. too, ln the saving of gin owners of this class throughout the entire state.
 No opportunity has been overlook cd to improve our facilities of trans portation, and the operation of trains and schedules in the interest of this city at the same time, thore has been built up cooperative spirit between the railroads, our buisness men, and city officials that resemble a family affair, and that is resulting in ncreas- od business for all concerned, and practically entirely eliminated all fric- ion.
 Our river transportation is doing falrly we'll considering tho lack of de

GET READY NOW FOR
RAISING FALL CHICKENS
Use Only Best Birds for Breeding.
Proper Selection Means improve
ment of Flock.

Many poultry raisers report that
they do not have as much success
with their fall hatched chickens az
with their spring matches.
"The reason for this" says A. F,
Rolf, Livestock Extension Service, l..
S. u, lis that the fall Is not nat
ural breeding season, and because the
breeding stock will have just finished
moulting. The moulting process is
quite drain on the vitality of a
bird. Any hen that Is weak constitu'
tionally will be in a poor physical
condition for several weeks after COM
pleting the moult. and any chickens
produced from such a hen will show
an inherent weakness. The way to
overcome large part of the trouble
with fall Matched chicks Is to breed
only from physically strong, selected
birds
1.-THE vigorous and healthy bird has
stout head and beak; bright, full
eye; firm, red comb; a wide back;
a FULL deep breast; a glossy, close
fitting coat of feathers, and straight
legs, set well apart. Discard the
birds that do not show all these points
of vigor. and from the remainder Sc
lect those that have suitable color
and shape.
1.-The breeding pen should consist
OF the best male and the smallest
number of hens that will give the re
CURED number of eggs for Matching,
Use only the best. and be that much
nearer to success.
Mass breeding means rapid deter
ioration, proper selection means I'm

GIVE POULTRY PLENTY
OF PURE WATER

Water is a very important part OF
the ration required by poultry. The
body of an average mature hen con-
tains about Sc per cent water. An
egg is about rs per cent water. All
feed consumed by poultry must be
softened by water to prepare it for the
digestive process. Blood is composed
very largely Of water, which serves
to carry red and white corpuscles to
the different parts of the body to
nourish the needy tissues and elimi-
nate waste products. Water Is just as
important and valuable as feed in
maintaining the body health of the hen
and as factor in the maximum pro-
duction of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice day
Is not sufficient. Pure, fresh water
should be available to poultry at all
times. It serves not only the purposes
mentioned. but to lower the body tenn
perature of the hen. This is done by
system of evaporation through the
breathing organs which is the cause
OF hens holding their mouth open and
breathing rapidly on hot day. The
faster they breathe the more rapid
is the evaporation through the lungs
and the lower is the body tempera-
ture.
The average flock of one hundred
hens will use about Ave gallons OF
water daily during the hot season.
Considering both the present prices
of feed and the relative value of feed
and water in the ration water has a
feeding value of about twenty cents a
gallon. As water costs practically
nothing, there is no excuse for neg
lecting this very important factor IN
feeding poultry.-A. f. Rolf, Live
Stock Extension Service, Louisiana

EVERY GARDEN SHOULD
GROW IRISH POTATOES
Seed Potatoes Should BE Sprouted
Before Planting.

A portion of every garden should be
planted in fall Irish potatoes, II space
permits. This will provide nutritious
and palatable food during the late
fall. and the surplus may be stored
for winter consumption.
Small potatoes from the spring mar
vest are usually used as seed for the
fall paintings. The seed potatoes
should be sprouted before planting
and pIanted whole, instead of being
cut in pieces, as for spring planting.
The popular spring varieties. such as
the Red Triumph, Irish Cobbler ana
White Star are commonly planted in
the fall.
DO not plant potatoes that are af-
fected with the scab disease II you
are not familiar with the appearance
of this disease. write TO the ESteh
sion Division, Louisiana state UNI
versity. Baton Rouge, for Circular NO.
8 on the Potato Scab
Prepare ridges three to three ana
one-half feet in width for fall irish
notatoes. No fertilizer will be required
hv rich soils. but when stable manure
is used it must be well decomposed
and thoroughly mixed with the SOL
during it's preparation.
The middle of August or little lat
or is good time to plant potatoes
IN southern Louisiana. In the central
and northern parts of the state plant
ines should be made few days
earlier. In planting, make trench
on the center Of the ridge and drop
tho potatoes eight to twelve inches
apart. If the soil is moist. cover to
depth Of three to four inches; IL dry
or sandy. cover little deeper. Keep
the surface of the soil well cultivated
with a garden hoe.
In digging, the potatoes must be
carefully handled. Store them In
cool. well ventilated place-not in
sacks. but preferably in shallow "slat-
ted boxes; or spread the tubers out
thinly on dry floor. Some covering
will have to be provided for them in
freezing weather.
If potato beetles appear, hand-pick
and destroy them; il they come In
large numbers, poison them by dust
ing with powdered arsenate OF lead
and air-slaked lime-G. l.. Tiebout,
