Cove is a nice little town eighteen
 miles south of Mena on the Kansas
 City Southern railway, and is sur
 rounded by some of the best farms in
 Polk county, on which are raised fine
 corn, cotton, hogs and cattle. Our
 Irish and Nancy Hall sweet potatoes
 are as fine as any found in the state.
 All kinds of vegetables do fine in and
 around Cave. Just think of the fine
 strawberries that Mr Frank Turner
 ships to the market!
 We are surrounded by hills and mountains, covered with oak, hickory |and pine timber The Cove Lumber Company has several saw mills over the country, cutting up this timber and many teams and two big trucks ,are hauling this lumber to Cove, where it is put thru the planer and shipped to the market
 This town of Cove is growing. It has first-class hotel, two good churches, a good feed mill, cotton
 gin and a splendid school house of four rooms in which is conducted an s-months' school, with over 200 en- rolled
 We have 5 good stores, 2 restau- rants, the best drug store in this part of the county, blacksmith shops, and a garage. We have one of the best banks in Polk county; o. B. Witherspoon, president, and J. c. Allen, cashier. Capital and surplus $7,000. We have several fine homes, no empty houses in town. Our merchants are doing a wonder lful business. Cove is the outlet to the Oklahoma towns in McCurtain county. The Kansas City Southern unloads more goods here than at any other town between Mena and De- Queen. It takes an auto truck to haul the mail west to Oklahoma. Our real estate men, the Stuart Land Company, Mir. Baker and Mr. Parker, are selling lots, of farms. New buyers are here nearly every day, looking for good farms, and these gentlemen fix them up nearly every time.

NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
Lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
in Grateful Memory.

Marshal f'och rs taking a particular
satisfaction at this time of the con
summation of great victory to pay
homage to the fame of Lazare Hoche,
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
~ to command that army of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at first
tliSorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation of French arms on both
sides of the Rhine. To this day at
WeiSSenthurm stands a monument to
it's memory and that of its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal FOch
takes pleasure In recalling LaZhre
Hoche TO his countrymen. OF noche
il is said that he once proudly wrote
10 the minister for war of his day,
"Je suiS la patrie." The French of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en-
Enthusiastically as the contemporaries of
Hoche and ROuget de LiSle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express it so tersely, Foch
is ia patrie" in the sense that he GER
tainly stands for them as ia Nictore'

New York: Doctor Conner, for
merly of Johns Hopkins hospital,
SAYS: Many men who smoke, chew
or snuff necessarily and who are
seemingly healthy are suffering
from progressive organic ailments.
Thousands of them would never
have been afflicted had it not been
for the use of tobacco, and thou
sands would soon get we'll If they
would only stop the use of tobacco.
The chief habit-forming principle
of tobacco lis nicotine, a deadly
poison which, when absorbed by
the system, slowly affects the
nerves, membranes, tissues and
vital organs of the body. The
harmful effect of tobacco varies
and depends on circumstances.
One will be afflicted with general
debility, others with catarrh of the
throat. indigestion, constipation,
extreme nervousness, sleepless-
ness. loss of memory. lack of will
power, mental confusion, etc. 9th
ers may suffer from heart disease,
bronchial trouble, hardening of the
arteries, tuberculosis, blindness or
oven cancer or the common Attic
tion known as tobacco heart. X
you use tobacco in any form you
can easily detect the harmful ef-
fects by making the following SIM
pie tests. Read aloud one full
page from a book. II, In the course
Of reading your voice becomes
mufiled. hoarse and indistinct. and
you must frequently clear your
throat, the chances are that your
throat is affected by catarrh and II
may be the beginning OF more sc.
rious trouble. Next. IN the morn.

ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Art Pinch f. G. Wheeler, d. A
Burgett, Paul Hodge, Bill Hedder
Hal Starks and Ray Sheldon arrived
home Wednesday from a hunting trip
down to 'Moses Lake. Pinch says they
brought back few geese and ducks
and a. of lot of rabbits.
1t is again rumored that the &. N
Railway Co. is contemplating build
ing larger power plant and that II
will be built lower down the Tumwat-
er. probably near the city. However
there seems to be no one connected
with the company who knows any
thing about the matter, and it is
thought to be a mere rumor.
Victor Johnson, lumber piler for
the Great Northern Lumber Co. at
this place, was called to Wenatchee
Wednesday by the sheriff and county
attorney, on a peculiar errand. 1t
seems that after the murder of the
restaurant keeper at Cashmere q
handkerchief with the laundry mark
V upon it was found. The county
Hawshaws Immediately got busy and
found that Johnson's laundry mark
was V J, so he had to go to Wenat-
chez. His partner, John Guddahl,
says that Johnson had not been out
of town for two weeks and he had no
fear of his being held in the case. 1t
is reported that there are several 9th
er persons in Leavenworth whose
laundry marks are V ]. Probably
they will all be called in to explain.

High heels prevail in spite of the
promise of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote well-known doctor: mo wo-
man pretends that she is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to he graceful when wearing
them, for the body is thrown out of
poise and the action of the feet is re-
stricted. More serious than her aWk-
wardness is the eventual injury to her
health For in the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward, depressing the chest;
breathing Is interfered with, and that
means poorer blood and final de-
crease in vitality. This comes grad
ually, but 1t is inevitable when a wo-
man persists in wearing very high
heels. Her heels should conform to
the arch If her instep. '-EXchange

Doctor Tells How to Detect
Harmful Effects of Tobacco
Tru These SIMPLE TESTS

Ing before taking your usual
smoke, walk up three flights of
stairs at a regular pace. then stop.
If you find that you are out OF
breath, your heart beat is forced,
trembling or irregular, you may
be a victim of functional or organ
ic heart trouble. II you feel that
you must smoke, chew or snuff to
quiet your nerves, you are q slave
to the tobacco habit, and are posi-
lively poisoning yourself with the
deadly drug, nicotine. In either
case you have just two alternatives
keep on with the self-poisoning
process irrespective of the dangers
and suffer the consequences, or
give up the habit and escape the
dangers. You can overcome the
craving and stop the habit in
very short time by using the fol-
lowing inexpensive formula. Go
to any drug store and ask for Nico-
toll tablets. take one tablet after
each meal, and in comparatively
short time you will have no desire
for tobacco; the craving will have
left you. With the nicotine poison
out of your system your general
health will quickly improve.
