some relief for the cotton growers; but we need not to look for much in that direction, because the majority of both houses of congress comes from the states where cotton is not grown. They must use our cotton, so the cheaper cotton, the cheaper they canfget the finished product.
 So what will do the south good in the present condition of cotton will be against the interests of the rest of the country. We must find rem edy among ourselves to put cotton on a par with all other merchandise.
 The remedy is simple-quit talk ing and do something. Concerted ac- tion cannot be had. So, every farmer who wants to become independent should go it alone, diversifying his crops, raise hogs and cattle and about half his usual crop of cotton. Those who are doing this are getting ahead, and their example should be followed.

IN ARMY OF
 OCCUPATION WRITES HOME

The following letter from Gran Brabbzson of Tuckerman, who is with the Balloon Company of the Army of Occupation in Germany, to his fa- ther, George Brabbzson, of Tucker man, will be read with interest by his many friends in that section. The letter, in part, reads as follows:
 Am glad, my dear father, to get your letter, which I received at noon today, (January 20th.) From it's date of October Fist, the letter was about three months in reaching me.
 I am we'll and having very good time. Am still at Coblenz, and from the looks of things will be here for some time to come. We had a good show here in our recreation room last night given by the 128th Infantry of the 32nd Division, and we enjoyed it very much. We are going to fly the balloon here tomorrow in Cob lere, or just out of town, and if l thought it would carry me home, I'd cut the ropes and take trip in the air-or any other old way just to get home. We are having very good weather; have had only one snow which lasted only two or three days. don't think it will be severely cold here this winter-hope it won't any way, as we have to live out of doors. Dad, it may be long time before l can come home, but when I do l can tell you lots of things you've never heard of. Will close, with love to all.
 Yours truly, your only son,
 Gran M. Brabbzson,
 First Balloon Company, A. B. F.,

OAKLAND.

We had some snow in this part of the county not long since. The ground was not frozen, so the snow melted as fast as it fell All the farmers in this vicinity are ready and anxious to go to work, as soon as the weather permits. Here's hoping we will all make good crops.
 Wheat is looking fine up here and the recent snow was benefit to the grain crop. Some have already sow ed oats in this vicinity.
 The teacher being sick, our school here is on the drag. Maybe he got sick so he wouldn't have to build fires, and we see where he's right if it's so.
 MT. Corrigine says he is going to move to Bald Knob. His wife lives there and he will not have so far to go to see her as he now does. We know his horse will be glad.
 Dr. J. c. Frizzell has recently fin ished a new shed, which will give him more barn room.
 MT. Vandeyer was down in this part of the county, looking after bus mess last Wednesday.
 MT. William Brown has just about completed new barn on his place.
 Oliver Bright's sister of Bradford was out last week to see her mother, Grandma Bright, who fell through door some time ago, and is on the sick list.
 The general health in this commun- ity is very good.

COMING TO NEWPORT THE ASSOCIATED DOC
 TORS, SPECIALISTS
Will Be at the Claridge Hotel On Tuesday, February g, For One
 Day Only.

Demonstrating their new system Treatment-Offer services free of Charge.
 The Associated Doctors, specialists, licensed by the State of Arkansas. and who have met with success throughout the entire Southeast will be in Newport on Tuesday, February 25, for one day only to demonstrate their new system of treatment of chronic disease cases.
 This will indeed be good news to those who find it convenient to visit the central laboratories in Birming- ham, located at Suite 311-12 Lyric Theatre Building, where the organi- zation has Southern headquarters. These regular, reputable physicians believe that the combined skill of several trained specialists in chronic cases can accomplish more than one doctor alone--in other words, in un- ity there is strength.
 The offer to treat all who call on this visit absolutely free, is their original method of getting their sys- tenn of treatment before the public quicker, and nc one, rich or poor, white or colored, should neglect to take advantage of their very liberal offer-ABSOLUTLY FREE (medi- cine excepted.) No cutting-No knife.
 It makes no difference how many doctors you have consulted or how many patent medicines you have ta- ken, you can not afford to miss that of ascertaining your ex- act condition and be honestly advised You have only yourself to blame if you continue to suffer from Piles.

We of the south will never be a prosperous people so long as we farm in the old way and let Wall street gamblers run our business for us. When we buy from them we give them their price, and when they buy from us we have to take their price. If we have no say as to the price of what we make and sell, we are not free people.

RED CROSS NOTES

Plans are to be announced shortly
according to advices received today
by Father julius, chairman of the
Hays Chapter of the Red Cross, for
another Red Cross drive-a drive on
the high cost of living.
The establishment of classes for
women and girls in each city, town
and county, teaching the essentials of
home cookery is the outstanding feat
ure of neffort to educate the Amer
lean public as a whole in the science
of feeding Inasmueh as it will be
necessary for the Re Cross TO obtain
the services of a large number Of wo-
men and girls who have had exper-
Iience as dietitians, the opportunity for
service as instructors is thus opened
to a large number of young women
who have the necessary qualifications.
They must have had two years in
struction in school of Home Econo-
mics Or its equivalent. Coung women
who can qualify are urged to get in
touch at once with Miss Eflae Brown,
Director of Dietetics, Southwestern
Division of the Red Cross, at St.
Louis. Miss Brown, who recently has
returned from a conference of diet
itians at Washington, outlined the
need of such instruction.
'When the housewife complains of
the high cost of living" she said,
"does she realize that perhaps the
high cost of living may be partly her
own fault or does she consider that
her problem is really the cost of high
living and not the other way around"
''Let her answer these questions.
Does she believe that her family must
hav expensive meat every day in the
year in order to be well nourished? If
sh does, the sooner she is disillusioned,
the better for her pocketbook. Does
she know that green vegetables and
creals or such foods as beans or spa
ghetti are excellent substitutes for
meat and that a meal composed of
these products is much less expensive?
"No one Intentionally makes the
grocery bill mount perceptibly from
week to week. There are few women
who would not be glad to learn how
to reduce the high cost Of living.
t'The Red Cross is anxious to teach
such as these to solve their own parti-
cular problem. Glasses are being or
ganized all over the country in diet
etics with the object of teaching wo-
men and girls how to cook and plan
well balanced meals as economically
as possible.
Undertaking, over-feeding and
improper feeding taken together are
one of the greatest causes Of infant
mortality in this country. They are
also one of tehprincipal reasons for
backwardness in school children. If
tn ewomen of each town are interest
ed in reducing the death rate of their
community and of increasing the
health and efficiency OF their families

Persian Envoy at Mount Vernon.

Shortly after Sir Julian Paunce-
totes coming to Washington a COM
plimentary trip to Mount Vernon was
arranged for him on the MaydOwer,
which was the presidents yacht
Among the invited guests was the Per-
sian minister. 1t was quite a social
and impressive event. The spectacle
of the minister of Great Britain pay
ing respect to the tomb and memory
Of Washington did not pass without
comment upon its historical signifi-
canoe During the visit the Persian
envoy was observed to be standing in
profound reverie in front of the iron
gate Of the tomb. He remained in 81
fence for some minutes, and then,
doubtless full of obvious contrasts that
might occur to an oriental mind from
the land Of shahs and of ivory pal
aces and gorgeous tombs, he turned to
g friend and said: "HOw greats man
and how little a cemetery I"-Lieuten-

What came near being a serious
accident occurred on Main street
Sunday evening, when a Ford,
driven by young Bricker, from
Avoca, collided with a horse and
buggy just in front of A. H. Beck
ett's residence. The horse was
owned by Harvey Middleton, and
was driven by young Teetzel.
These boys were on the right
side of the street and the auto
was coming south and crowding
the left side. The driver of the
car said he was not looking where
ne was going and the collision oc-
Cured. The horse was quite bad
ly cut about the legs, but luckily
nothing serious happened.
