There is a new spirit in the
Hotel Belleclaire. which has
taken hold Of me and every
one Of my associates.

greater interest in something
that one owns himself.

all | could to the Belleclaire

but, say. now that it is mine, |
realize how much more can do.
The same feeling exists
among my associates. They
are wonderful people. They
are certainly fine in their 10y
atty to me. They came to my
office the other day. and gave
me a Loving Cup which is big
enough to hold all of the hap
piness in the world. so far as
I'm concerned.
Yes, there is new life in the
Belleclaire, which is bound to
have its effect on the guests.
The idea is to make them as

T. R. JONES GETS AWARD.
John P. Logan Placed Apples in P.-P Exposition in Mena Mans Name.

T. R. Jones recently received a notification from the Panama Expo sition management that he had been awarded medal on an exhibit of apples. which he had at the expo stion. He had no apples on exhibit, so first thought there was some mis-
 ake in the name or the address On second thought it occurred to him that possibly his son, T. R. Jones, Jr., who had attended the exposition, might have picked up some apples and placed them on exhibit, but when he found there was nothing to that, some members of the family wrote to the exposition management and received in reply the assurance that there was no mistake about the matter, that the award had been made to T. R. Jones of Mena, Ark. Further investigation developed that John P. Logan, who had charge of the Arkansas exhibit at the San Francisco exposition, found upon placing his fruit that he had more apples than exhibitors, so he placed the name of his friend, T. R. Jones, of Mena, as one of the exhibitors, and this exhibit won the medal. In due time Mir. Jones will receive the medal, but not likely until after it has been exhibited with other med als to the members of the next gen. eral assembly, who will be asked to make an appropriation for the de- felt in the exposition fund.

 You apply Just little on a tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness Is 4rciieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it may be lifted out with the fingers-root and all
 Ice-mint is a clean, creamy, snow white, non poisonous substance and will never inflame or irritate the most tender skin.
 Cutting or pairing corns often pro- duces blood poison and people are warned to stop it.
 Just ask any drug store for a small jar of ice-mint which will cost little yet is sufficient to rid one's feet of ev- cry corn or callous. You'll like it inn mensely.-Adv.
