WILLIAM T. CHESBRO.
(Charles City, Iowa, Press)

(Charles City, Iowa, Press)
William Tecumseh Cresbro was
born at Hollister, Cal, Feb, 1G, 1879,
and died Sept r. 1917. With his par.
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. ID. Chesbro, he
removed to Courtland. H., where he
received his education, graduating
from the high school in 1899 He then
went to Chicago where he took up the
study of music for six years, and later
went to De Kalb, Ill., where he was a
teacher of the cornet. He was at one
time chief musician of the Third Hi
nois Regimental Band, and again re-
turned to Chicago to master the study
of harmony and theory, and also com
pleted his violin study. In 1912 he was
joined in wedlock to Nina Fenske Of
this city, and they made their home
at Waterloo, In December 1916, he
was afflicted with dropsy from which
he never fully recovered, and was laid
to rest in the cemetery at Charles
City on Friday afternoon.
Among those from out OF town in
attendance at the funeral services
were his mother and brother, Mrs. l..
d. Chesbro and son, Harris, Of Har.
rison, Ark; his sister, and husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilby, OF De Kalb, ILL.,;
his cousin Mrs. Struble, of Waterloo,
Iowa
Music was rendered for the services
by Mrs. Dodge, Of this city, singing
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere and
Nearer My God to Thee" and the
Waterloo military band, playing Cho'
pins funeral march at the grave rhe
pail bearers were members of the
band, and were his oldest friends.

II will cost the North Arkansan
more than ever this year to feed his
calves and fatten his hogs. That is
the way with prosperity every time
it has its drawbacks. According to
the average experience the Arkansas
farmer should be able to pick out a
supply of nubbins from his corn crib
along with the feed for steers and
porkers, to furnish grain rations for
the calves from corn-husking time till
the spring planting season. When
nubbins are plentiful they are count.
ed of little value, and the expense Of
keeping calves through the winter is
kept at the minimum. Extraordinary
growth of clover and alfalfa has been
reported throughout the farming dis
tricts. This will be followed by an
abundant crop of acorns, paw-paws
and persimmons, eliminating the hope
the farmer has cherished for the Gus
tomary strip of lean and strip of fat
in his homecured bacon This year
the bacon may be all fat.

The Community Fair has been, and
will continue TO be, one of the great
est factors for neighborhood better
ment. If there is to be Fair in your
community this fall be sure to do your
part to make IT a success. Exhibit
not only the best products you have
but encourage the boy and the girl
to try for some of the blue ribbons,
too. Make your plans early; go and
stay during the entire time. You and
your family need the change and the
recreation; besides, it will enable you
to see what the other fellow is doing
and exchange ideas with him. Every
progressive man can benefit by the
other fellows experiences. The Corr
munity Fair offers you a real opror-
tunity.

MARSHALL PRAIRIE MlSTS.

People have been very busy for the
past week pulling fodder, cutting tops
and corn,

its appearance in this section.
Mrs, George Arnold has been very
sick the past few days but is reported
to be improving.
Ellis Cooper and family left Friday
for Marion county for a few days
visit.
In order that the children may be
vaccinated the school has been dis
missed for two weeks.

DO NOT LET THE WEEDS TAKE
THE PLACE.

Il will be a hard job to rid some
Arkansas pastures and fields of weeds
but this kind of work pays and one of
the best things to do right now is to
prevent weeds from re-seeding them
selves If the weeds in your fields
bear mature seed, burn them; never
pillow them under. Be sure that the
small grain you plant this fall has
been thoroughly cleaned. Weeds on
land not to be plowed might well be
turned into mutton, pork or beef by
grazing them, In many places it may
be necessary to begin the practice OF
rotating crops in order to get rid Of
the weeds.
The Harrison times., 1917-09-22
FODDER FEEDING NOT THE BEST
PRACTICE.

We cannot afford to pull fodder in
Arkansas this year and now is a
good time to break away from this
old practice Cut up the corn and
feed the whole stalk. Cattle will eat
the blades and about 40 per cent of the
stalk, After corn is cut and shocked
we can get into the fields thus made
clear for seeding oats or wheat or
rye for winter pastures or for a grain
crop.

CLEANLINESS A FACTOR
IN MOTOR CARS LIFE
DR.. Hirshberg Tells Some Things
Which Owner Must and
Must Not Do.

The life and health of motor car,
like godliness in men, is closely akin
to cleanliness. writes DR.. Leonard Keene
Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity in the current issue of the Ameri-
can Motorist.. The sweetness and purity
of its appearance is intimately asso-
ciated with the length of it's life, the
friction and well being of it's COM
ponent anatomy. You cannot keep
your car too clean or the sheen on its
body too well polished.
Motorists ere now are familiar with
the axiom. Spread yourself in oil and
save your metal" This is only the APP
plication to the motor car of the over
worked and age-old allusion to medical
advice. An ounce of prevention will
save pound of cure
Show me dust-tilled, dirty, soiled
machine. and / will make the prophecy
OF a short Shift and rapid depreciation
OF the car. Dirt, lack cluster and a
duiied car body spell worse than rapid
loss of value
