HUGH WILLIAMSON FOR
 PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
Young Stone County Attorney Makes
 Announcement of His Candidacy

Hugh Williamson, whose announce ment for prosecuting attorney ap- pears in today's paper, was born and reared in Stone County. After at tending the common schools in his community, he completed his educa- ton by teaching and attending school, alternately.
 He taught for years, beginning when IT years of age, and later stud jed law in the office of his father, Ben r. Williamson, and after close study and application was admitted to practice in 1910. Has practiced law since that time and is admitted in all the state and federal courts.

Was elected Representative for his county in 1913 and served as the youngest member of the 39th Gener- 8. Assembly, lie was elected pros outing attorney of this circuit in 1911 and served one term as the youngest prosecutor in Arkansas at that time h his last two campaigns he carried his county by the largest majorities ever given candidate for office there. The fact that he was elected to the above offices at his age is some evid4nce of his fitness and merit to hold the office to which he was elected.
 During the world war, at probably
 the most oppdrtune time for him 1T his chosen profession, like thousand. Of others, he laid aside the law fol the Infantry Drill Regulation ant served his country in the army unti

AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL HELP ADVANCE THE INTER-
 ESTS OF THE FARMERS

One thousand farmers in the Inde- pendence County Farm Bureau, the first to be organized in the state of Arkansas, is the mark set in the membership campaign that was start ed off Monday night at the Bates vile Chamber of Commerce when W. C. Lassetter, Director of the Agfieul- tural Extension Division, University of Arkansas, made the opening ad- dress that launched a series of 28 meetings to be held in all sections of the county this week.
 On the whole, the farm bureau or ganization will serve to furnish a me dium through which the farmers of the county may express their collect i've opinion, advance the agricultural interests of the rural communities and fuster and promote such business and financial institutions among farmers. housewives, boys and girls as may be deemed necessary to the best interests of the farm business.
 The farm bureau will be to the farmers what the Chamber of Com merce Is to the business man of the city--a non-profit sharing organiza- tion that Is organized of. by and for the farmers. The constitution is SC modelled that it will afford afilia- ton with the American Federation If Farm Bureaus which includes enc ruling-that all officers, whether county, state or national mast be bona fide farmers who are actively eaeag- ed in farming.
 One of the immediate problems that will be considered by the Indefenden- ce County Farm Bureau, according to County Agent Leland Bunch. will be wool auction sales Due to the fact that wool is sold in Arkansas in small lots with but little regard as to grade and method of handling, this product had been bringing price that is far below it's market value
 It will come within the province of the farm bureau to give out infor- mation as to the standard way in which wool should be prepared for market, arrange to have all the wool in the county assembled at central points and cooperate with the market ing office of the extension division and representatives of the buyers in the central markets to attend the au-

HODGES FOR CONGRESS

When a man has been in Congress for ten CT twelve years, he usually drifts away from the people, and as time goes on, he seems to forget that after all, it rests with the people as to how much longer he may enjoy the luxuries of his public position.
 The other day man asked his nei- ghbor who he was for, Oldfield or Northcutt for Congress? The neigh Dor replied quickly, Neither one, am for Hodges of White County, who will represent the people and not the corporations.
 Answers like that are heard from all parts of the Second Congression- al District Hodges for Congress, And why shouldn't it be so? Oldfield has been in Washington for twelve years. He has drawn nearly $100,- 900 salary for his services. He has not done anything else hardly, except draw his salary It is said that he gambled to some extent in cotton fu- lures; at any rate Bill Oldfield has been there long enough, the people know.
 He seems to have lost interest in the things back home He seldom pays us visit nowadays, until a short time before election, when he hurries through the district He has sold his home at Batesville and it is presumed he will make his home in Washington.
 Mir. Hodges is in close touch with the great throbbing heart of humani- ty. He knows the needs of the mass es. He wants to represent the farm ing interests, the laboring element, in Congress.
 He doesn't want to go there to have gay time and merely draw his sal any. He wants to go there and work for the people of his district, wants to help guide and direct the progress of the country, wants to lend his loyal support in behalf of such meas ures as will tighten the burden of the Bread Winners" of the land.
 In this crucial period of our nation al life, MT. Hodges would make an ideal Representative in the Halls of Congress. He is not a lawyer, for which we are thankful, because Con- gress is already lover run with law yers. Over 95 per cent of the mem- bers are lawyers.
 It is in your power this time to elect man who will treat all inter ests fairly, but who will devote his greatest efforts in behalf of the strug- gling toilers of the land.
 W, A. Hodges is, indeed a1.d in truth, the candidate of the plain peo- pie of the Second District for Con- gress-Bald Knob Eagle.

STRIKING COMBINATION
RObt. W. Chambers at His Best When
 He Wrote The Black Secret

"The Black Secret" by Robert ". Chambers, Pearl Whites latest Pathe serial, striking combination of the talents of the worlds most famous serial star and Americas most pop ular author, is arousing unusual terest.
 4The Black Secret" is Robert ". Chambers at his best, and serves to prove exclusively what he has proven many times before, that he is as much master of the expressing, thrilling mystery story as he is of the smart society novel with which his name has long been associated. Without once resorting to the bizarre or the impossible, Mr. Chambers has fash toned tale of the most intensely mystifying and gripping type.
 In all her long and successful serial career under the Pathe banner, Miss White probably has never had a role that more perfectly fitted her than that of Evelyn Firth, the heroine of "The Black Secret" Her peculiar talents for furnishing thrills, for dom- mating through sheer personality all the scenes in which she appears with cut detracting in the least from the value of the work of her associates, for doing things that are typically Pearl White in way all her own, are given the fullest play. Those who have followed her in her many Pathe serials will find that she has taken the utmost advantage of the possibil- ities of her best role. The Black Se- eret will be shown at the Royal every Saturday

PATENT REMEDIES WILL
 NOT PREVENT CHOLERA
Government Tests Show Them of Lit.
 tie Value to Hog 9a.sess

Farmers and stoekmen should not depend upon stock remedies, torics and nostrums to prevent swine dis cases. especially hog cholera CT worm infestations, is the warning of Dr. J II. Bux in charge of hog cholera con trol in Arkansas for the United States Department of Agriculture.
 The official reports Of the chemical analysis of number of these prepar- ations discloses that number of them carry large percentage of common salt, charcoal CT some worth less filler such as peanut hull and sand. A number of them contained small per lentage of Epson CT Glau- ber's salts, sulphur, pepper or ginger but the per centage of these was so low that it is questionable whether any beneficial results can be obtained from them.
 The various state agricultural col leges in the United States during the past few years have tried out a nun Der of these preparations with the result that there was very little ma terial impr yement gained in their use and some of the colleges report ed that they had no influence what soever on the inception, course or ter imitation of hog cholera
 It has been found that far better gains can be obtained by providing clean quarters, hog wallows, feeding floors and other means of keeping tie animals free from lice and treating all of them with serum and wires to guard against hog cholera than by at tempting to force gain and prevent disease by the use of stock feeds. Hogs handled in this way showed $2.50 per hundred more profit than those fed tonics and patent foods.
