CHEAP WATER SYSTEMS
 FOR FARM HOMES

Fayetteville, Sept. 24.- No con- venience adds more to the comfort and well being of the family on the farm than a good system of run ming water. Many farmers feel the need of a water system and realize it's value, but think that it is too expensive. However, the specialists with the University of Arkansas say that many are over- looking the fact that there is a suc- cessful and practical water sys- tenn which is within the reach of every farmer. It need not be elaborate. In fact, the simplest and cheapest systems are often the best. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture has published bulletin 941 on Water Systems for Farm Homes, which describes some of the systems by which run ming water may be installed in the farm home This circular may be had free of charge by addressing Dean Martin Nelson, College of Agriculture.

MACHINERY SHEDS PAY
 ~~z.s sn- BIG DIVIDENDS

Fayetteville, Sept 24.-A saving of from 10 to 25 per cent yearly can be made by protecting mach inery from the weather, according to machinery specialists with the University of Arkansas. Rust puts more machinery out of commission than service. The life of any raachine, even though it be made wholly out of steel, will be material ly heightened by protection from the weather, and a shed for the farm machinery will pay big divi- dends. Bright parts should be giv- en coat of grease before tn. ma- chme IS stvrad away for the winter. New paint should be applied to places where the paint has scaled off. Careful housing Of machinery by careful repairing be- fore the working season, will pay big profits.

commissioners had contracted for the sale of bonds and hai awarded the contract for the construction of the road. The new bill backed by the mass meeting here contained provisions for taking over all obli- gations assumed by the Delta dis trict, proposed system of roads m that territory practically in line with those proposed by Elliott and named MT Elliott as one of the commissioners. Various attempts were made to bring the two forces together in a compromise but all efforts along this line proved futile
 As the matter now stands It IS un- certain what the outcome will be. Suits are pending against the ie- gality of the act creating the Del ta district. The act now pending
 in the legislature for the creation of district outside of the Det- to district will probably pass, fol lowing which the construction of the system of roads proposed Tn the act will depend upon new the land owners feel They have the right of protest and if a majority is against the construction of the roads the act automatically becomes void.
 In the Delta district, embracing approximately 35,O00 acres of land owners of 24,O00 acres have signed a protest, but under the terms of the act no provision is made foi killing the district upon petition of a majority in acreage, nor by any other means.

The Fruit Acid

Every ordinary size glass or bot tie of Orange-Crush contains ap- proximately the same amount of purest citric acid that is found in an ordinary ripe orange. It is this remarkable, refrigerant acid which gives the delightful tart ness to oranges, lemons, grape fruit and other members of the citrus family. The citric acid in Orange-Crush is obtainable from these fruits. 1t is both delightful to the taste and extremely bene- ficial to the human body, as any physician will tell you.

The Exclusive Orange

It was only after many patient years of experimenting that the exclusive process, whereby the delicately favored globules of oil are successfully introduced into the drink, was achieved.

WhOlesomeness of Carbonated
 Water
Water

As rule, Orange Crush is served cold and sparkling with carbonated water. The car bonation is accomplished by the impregna- tion of the liquid with carbon dioxid gas. which adds to the wholesomeness and deli ciousness of the drink. Dr. w. w. Skinner of the U. s. Department if Agriculture. in an official article recently published on the Composition of Bottled Soft Drinks, says:
 Carbon diodd gas in bottled soda water is
 wholesome product identical with the
 carbon dioxid which occurs naturally in
 large quantities in certain mineral springs

 Long ago it was found that the dominant flavor in fresh orange juice was present al so in the fresh golden outer skin of oranges in the form of tiny fragrant giobules of oil artfully concealed in minute cells. These globules, it was found, could be preserved without flavor deterioration. The presence of small amount of this deliciouse oil in combination with natural sugar, citric acid and water give orange juice the rare flavor of which 1t is justly famous

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For humanity
BY DOCTOR CRIPPs

It has always seemed to me that
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when a list OF
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to a degree that few realize.
Whenever he found remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced IT
in the newspapers and told where 1t
could be bought at small price. he
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, SO that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
of each root and herb he used. And
10 to-day the names of DR.. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is knewn as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed OF
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make person who
takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is 'costive.
If you are constipated, by all means
20 to your druggist and ct some Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellsts. They
may prove to be the very Aing your
system requires to make you well'and
happy.

BECKHAM STRONG
FOR HARDIN TO WIN

That the election of Judge Har-
din to Congress Saturday will be
taken as significant trend in
national politics, is indicated in a
strong letter which Senator J.. c.
w. Beckham has written Judge
Hardin, expressing hope for his
election. The democratic of the
9Th district are united solidly be-
hind Judge Hardin, and every
man should go to the polls on
Saturday and insure his victory.
Senator Beckhams letter will be
read with deep interest by his
host of friends in the 9Th district.
He wrote Judge Hardin as fol-
lows:

We need all the democratic mem

of this country will realize that
a mistake was made in the cleo

that in due time they will repair
that mistake by restoring the

evidences already at the present
session that the republican lead

are inspired too much by parti-
sanship, and not enough by an in
