For Ski, Toyfures

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at S1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimp!es,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring:
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
applied and costs a mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

SOUTH mAY BECOME LARGEST CONSUMER
 OF ITS RAW COTTON

Under proper encouragement, the South might itself become one of the largest consumers of it's raw cotton. It can never be- come the principal market, but it can use enough so that 1t will be a factor in dictating the mar ket of it's principal product. In Little Rock, for instar ce. there were 2;021 bales of raw cotton and linters consumed n the mattress factories and other mills of the city. This was in- creased the following year to 3,907 bales, while for the 1918. 1919 seas on, the consumption in- creased to 6'498 bales, or more than three times what it was two years ago,
 This may be lare ,ly due to the increased demand by two large mattress factories located in the city.

IN MEMORY OF
 MRS. SUSIE BAKER

We, the members of the Wo- mans Christian Tempe rance e Union, wish to pay our respects to the loving memory of our friend and COW orkers, Mrs Su- sic Baker, whom God took from us August 7, 1919.
 With her life, she exemplified the principles of our grand organ ization. The emblem of which is the bow of white ribbon whose streamers encircle the earth and embraces everything that is pure and good and denounces intem- perance and sin of all kinds with it's blighting influenees which makes the white life impossible We loved her and we will cher sh her sweet memory.
 Oh! for more mothers like she. An example worthy of imitation. We extend to the bereaved husband our deepest sympathy and the precious children who have so willingly needed F.' ede her council, we we want to comnlf9ortt com 9 and a|l{ console We eneoArage them t9 live in the light of the blessed teaching of mother.

Must Be One of the Crowd.

You can't crawl into yourself and maintain wholesome social relations.
 It's mistaken notion that teaches a fellow to think he is the only one of his kind in the community. He may be genius in some lines, but he will have equals in others. And what folly to begin such introspection that you are perpetually busy with your own thoughts The effect is the very opposite of what you would have on the public. Men know that the really big man is able to leave his burdens at the desk where they be- long. He works when he works and then begins storing up energy for the next day. And here again what you really are counts. There's something Of telepathy that flashes from mind to mind and warns the wary of s.self-cen- tered individuals.

Oae of the biggest news stori es in the United States today = that is, constructive news stof;es --is that of the apple and peacl crop of Arkansas this season. + is the largest and most valuable in to history of the state.
 It is so large that the estimates of its value vary by millions .ot dollars. The Arkansas peaches command tep-prices in the North ern markets, and have taken pre- cedence over Delaware and other states long noted for their SUD- erior fruit.
 F And the apple crop. There is no way arriving at an estimate tha. can be considered accurate. It is leo per cent perfect, where the orchards have been cared for prsperly, and the demand for the fruit was nefer greater.
 Stories that come out of Ben- ton and Washington counties; "lbe worlds greatest apple or sAard.'' oftea shallenGe tn e creduity of the public.
 It is readily in keeping with the stories of tremendous for tunes over night in oil wells and leases.
 One man sold the app'es on the trees for S80.000, another for slQ,Qpa. Ths. buyer does the pickiug and shipping. Che man who offered his farm for sala last year at S7,50o, has just sold the apples in his orchard $8, 900. There are many instanees where the apples age worth more than the land woqa q have sold before the Big Crop
 Mortgages are being lifted. automobiles are displacing the horse Tor fam transportation as trucks and t..actors are takinr r the place of other ne ans ef farm, ing. Bestef homes are being quilt in the county. More modern machinery is being purchased. Highways arc being constructed, and everywhere there are evi- deneee of a genuine prosperity. 1.
 And in Benton and Washing ton counties it is largely the re- suit of the bumper apple yield.
