FIRST AID TO THE
INK-SPOTTED,

I'm sorry, madam said the
head of the cleaning establish
ment, "but it is impossible to
take the ink out of this gar
ment.'
The owner of the pretty tan
cloth dress looked at it in dis
may.
But it is a practically a new
gown she answered. isn't
there anything you can do?
Can't you dye it dark blue 2"
THE spots will show unless
you dye it black was the in
exorable response. 1--WE might
have been able to do something
if you had brought it to us in the
first place, without touching
water or anything else to it. ;"
But | was away from home
when | spilled the ink, and | hur-
ried to the drug store before the
ink was dry. The druggist
worked over it with gasoline, but
1t just spread the spots, and so
! went to a tailor. He tried
everything-naphtha soap and
water, and all sorts of prepare
tioas-and though the spots
grew fainter, they still show
badly"
why didn't you put the skirt
In butter-milk as soon as you
spilled the ink on ?"
FButtermilk %
Yes, either that or sweet
milk, though buttermilk is bet
ter. That would have taken the
ink right out, and would have
left only grease spots, which we
could have removed easily. We
can always take grease out, but

ers and lifted his hands in a
gesture of helplessness: "Will
you have the dress dyed black ?"
Il suppose I'll have to, though

answered the disconsolate owner.
"Buttermilk !" she said to her
self as she left the shop. "To
think that | ruined a new dress
because | didn't know of a
simply remedy like that. But
this is the last time | will have
to suffer from ignorance in that
direction" -EXchanpe

BACK TO PLAIN "MISTER"

The more that is heard Of the
plans and personnel Of the Amer
lean Legion, the organization of
soldiers who fought in the great
war, the more general the pop
ular approval. It's leaders seem
to be guided by sound common
sense. One feature that stands
out is it's sturdy democracy.
This was shown at the initial
meeting in st. Louis. No dis
tlnctions were drawn between
those who had been officers and
those who had served as privates
IN the ranks. The differences
that were necessary, and so rec
ongnized during the period Of
active service, were promptly
cast aside when these brave men
met in civil life.
Now comes word that the eX-
ecutive committee of the Legion
Will recommend to the forthcom-
ing national convention at Min
neapolis the disuse of all military
titles IN referring to officials Gf
The order. at is the purpose of
the American Legion says
Henry b. Lindsey, mot only to
cease using military titles in the
records and proceedings Of the
national organization, bit to
foster the same action on the
part OF state branches and local
post which are now being form
eel throughout the country.
furthermore, the custom hand
ed down from the Civil War of
preserving an officers military
rank after he had returned to
civl life will be discouraged

TIE JUILLARD MUSICAL
FOUNDATIONS WHAT 1T
WILL MEAN TO AMERICA

The most remarkable bequest
ever made in this or any other
country for furthering the art of
music, came to light recently
when the will of A. d. Juilliard.
a wealthy New York merchant.
was filed. Mr.. Juilliard died
April 25th. The extent of his
fortune will not be pdbliclv
known until the last of October.
According to the opinion of
those in position to know, how
ever, the estate will be not less
than five million, and it may
reach twenty million dollars. A
part of this sum will be set aside
for building conservatoire of
music with an allowance for its
upkeep. The balance of the
fortune will be used for paying
the expenses of young musicians
who are not financially able to
develop this talent.
This is the largest sum ever
set aside in any country for the
benefit of this art. This will be
means of making America the
musical centre of the world.

COTTON SEED MEAL
DANGEROUS FEED
FOR HOGS.

Ihe following formula has
oeen given out to the public as a
wonderful feed for hogs:
80 per cent corn.
. per cent wheat millines or
wheat brand.
- per cent cotton seed meal.
IT has been said that this for
mula was fed to bunch of hogs
for 81 days and gave wounder-
ful results, but Farmers Bulletin
NO. All OF the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agricultural on page 20
makes the following statement
regarding the feeding of cotton
seed meal:
The deaths that some times
occur as result of feeding cot.
ton seed meal to hogs deter the
majority of farmers from using
1t. It is a feed, that, if used at
all, must be used in moderation
and with judgment. The Bureau
of Animal Industry in most Of
the Southern Experiment Sta
tons have fed it both ferment-
ed and sWeet-and killed pigs in
both cases. There is a risk when
It IS used for long periods of
time, and the man who feeds it
should bear in mind this risk. 1t
is not feed for the farmer to
experiment with. He should
keep well within bounds when
feeding cotton seed meal to his
animals. Il is not safe to feed
1t to hogs even when making up
one-third Of the whole ration for
more than tWenty-one days.
Il it is to be used longer than
p days, the proportion of the
meal should be cut down to one
fifth or one-siXth of the entire
ration and even then there is
great danger. The danger may
be averted somewhat by allow
ing the hogs plenty of succulent
pasture. >
For the protection of the
farmers Of Drew county who
might perhaps adopt this for
mula as feed for their hogs. |
have been authorized and in
structed by Mr.. C. w. Watson
and Mr.. w. C. Lasseter Director
Of Extension work in Arkansas,
to warn you against feeding
cotton seed meal, as given in
this formula.
Yours very truly,

COOPERATIVE MARKET
ING ESSENTIAL TO
FARM SUCCESS

co-o2erativa marketing has
hoon nracticed in some Of the
State for quite while, tho it has
been practiced in the South 70.
only a few years. Cooperation
has been practiced in some of it,
simpler forms among the best
farmers, for d long time. Per
haps the very first cooperative
movement among the farming
class of people was that Of trad
ing labor; for instance, the old
fashioned log rolling SO common
in the Southern states, is q
tvpical form of cooperation.
House coverings. wood chop
ings, and numerous other similar
cooperative movements are
familiar to all. Some farmer
in the best neighborhoods double
their horse power in times OF
need by putting their teams to
gether. So we see that CO.
operation is as old as man, be-
cause man has practiced it in
some form as far back as we
have records Of his operations.
But, until the year 1919 Drew
county farmers had never prac-
ticed cooperative marketing.
They began this last February
and since that time have ship
ed six cars Of hogs to the st.
Louis market. This has proven
to be the most satisfactory way
of marketing live stock, not only
in Drew county, nor in the State
of Arkansas, but it is now prae-
ticed in every State in the
union.
Now, that shipping season
will soon be on it will be we'll for
every farmer to begin to prepare
his live stock both hogs and cat
tie, for the market. We expect
to ship a car of cattle within
the next two or three weeks.
The price of cattle has been low
and is still not what we think 1t
should be, but there are several
farmers who are ready TO snip
and this first car will be shipped
to st. Louis market some time
during the month of August.
We hope to ship dozens Of car
loads of cattle and hogs CO.
operatively this fall and winter.
If you have either hogs or cat
tie to ship please notify me the
number you have and when you
wish to ship them.
Yours very truly,
w. 3. Pace.

KEEPING FLIES OFF


There are many materials or
mixtures used to keep flies off
cattle Some of these are com
mercial products generally ad-
yertised and on the market and
others are made up at home ac-
cording to many different for
mulas. These preparations vary
greatly in their efficiency in
keeping flies off cattle.
The questions of applying
them sufficiently often, and as to
whether the benefits justify the
labor and cost are always to be
considered. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that the falling
off in the milk flow in "fy time"
may generally be more correctly
attributed to hot weather and
declining pastures than to the i'll
effects of flies.
When the stables are screened
or kept dark, rope or other cur
tains used to brush the flies off
the cattle as they enter the doors
and the cows are sprayed with
some repellent there is at least
the one advantage to the milk
ers, that the cows are less rest
less while being MIXED.
Some Of the ready-made pre-
parations on the market are ap-
piled with spray pumps. Also
the coal tar disinfectants in
water which are sometimes used
are sprayed on the cattle. These
latter preparations must usually
be sprayed on the cattle often, at
first every day, to give fair pro-
lection from flies. Other
heavier applications like the fol-
lowing recommended by the
United State Department Of Ag-
riculture, are applied to those
portions of the body most large

large fiat brush;

do not substitute moth balls

Sometimes farmers have trouble
finding the crude petroleum. This
difficulty may be gotten around

together and purchasing a bar

DAWN Or NEW
ERA Is NOW
FACING AMERIC 4

Hpreeedented prosperity in the
United States are potent as The
entanglements incident to the
bring about Of the world peace
are unraveled.
OF all a the countries thai
were engaged in the world war
none emerged in 50 advantage
eous position as this country.
Great Britain had to bear the
brunt Of the financing of the war
before the United States enter
ed. The resources of that great
nation were taxed to the utmost,
and a National debt exceeding
our own several times piled up,
France and Belgium suffered
from the hands Of the invading
German hordes until it will take
years 10 restore the factories,
mines and agricultural regions
that were devastated. Then the
financial fabrics Of these coun-
tries suffered to an extent that
this country can scarcely con-
eeive. The man power of all OF
the Allied countries, too, was re-
duced to an appalling degree.
Germany, physically, is, of
course, unscathed. But what
with the shipping that she was
compelled to give up, the repara-
ton she is compelled to make,
the tremendous indemnities that
the peace conference heaped up
on her, and the onerous taxes
that must be met, in addition 10
the great shrinkage of man
power renders Germany i'm
potent III comparison with the
power she eXerted prior to the
time that the Kaiser in mad
moment imagined he was to
dominate the entire world. The
war has left the United States
the strongest nation on the face
OF the earth. The manner in
which she with prodigal hand
threw billions on top Of billion OF
money, and millions on top of
millions Of men into the great
struggle, and then the mag
naminity she displayed in the
peace settlement, has given this
county prestige that makes her
pre-eminent among nations, and
gives her people an opportunity
such as no nation III the world
ever possessed.
If America does not take adj
vantage of this opening to the
utmost it is the fault of the A
merican people. The Federal
Reserve Board, that is devoting
its time to solving the financial
problems, has made the ealcu-
lation that American business
will require three billions of dol
lars to take advantage of the
new trade opportunities now
open to them.
This money according to a
statement issued by the Federal
Reserve Board, must be raised
by the savings of the people.
The banks must be able t.
finance the companies that will
develope this new opportunities.
me Government must not be
made to call on the banks.
One of the ways open to the
Government to raise this vast
sum, or part Of it at least, is
through the War Saving Cam
paign, that is now being en-
Enthusiastically greeted by the
people, as they are awakening
to the advantages Of the plan.
