ELECTRIC POWER ON THE FARM
Provide. all the Conveniences Of City
City Residence and alta
Small Expense

Electricity is available for1country
homes today, anywhere.
The fact is important, because elec'
tricity is one of the most valuable for
c.s within reach of mankind. The rap
id spread of the use of the individual
electric plant on the farms within the
past three years is ample evidence that
they have q place IN the farm and
there is work for electricity to do
there.
Any, doubt or hesitency that may
have existed once as to the practic-
ability of these small electric units has
long been dispelled by the unquestion.
ed performance of the modern electric
plant. This has reached so high a
state of development that there are to-
day in operation many thousand farm
electric plants that have the gas engine
bui right in to the same unit with the
electric generator, with no belt or
ch in to connect them, with the gas
engine air-cooled, and with kerosene.
an ordinary ''coal oil', used for fuel
instead of gasoline. These plants are
self-starting, none of the hand crank
ing that goes with the usual gas engine
and they stop automatically when the
storage battery is charged. Oiling has
been taken care of by splash system
operating from IN oil reservoir placed
in the base of the plant. Grease cups
and elusive oil holes have been entirely
eliminated and "ouly one place to oil''
has become a slogan that means just
what it says and further. it means 50
much less care and attention from the
owner.
In fact. the achievements of modern
electric plants, are such that farmers
and others in need of electric, service
can accept them with every assurance
that they will give the electric service
which the purchasers need and have a
right to accept.

SPADRA COAL MINES
 TO RESUME OPERATION

Fort Smith, April 6.-The mines ir the Spadra coal fields will resume op. erations Monday, Heber Denman, su- perintendent of the Fernwood Coal and Mining Company of Clarksville officially announced yesterday, giving employment to approximately 1000 miners who have been idle since the middle of February, when the plants suspended.
 MT. Denman said that all operators have booked sufficient orders to keep the mines running for several months. or well into the fall season, the busy season for the mines. There are 10 mines in the Spadra field. The field has one of the largest coal tonnages Tn the state.
 MT. Denman says that barring car shortage, which was acute when the mines suspended in February, the op- orators expect to run from four to six days each week for the next several months. Since the suspension many of the miners have left this field and operators today began sending word to them to return at once.

U. s. DECLARED WAR
 3 YEARS AGO TODAY

Three years ago today American citizens picked up their newspapers to find that finally President Wilson and congress has grown weary of watchful waiting and had formally declared war against the Central Elm pires. The declaration of war was made by congress, following an ad- dress in person by President Wilson. on April 6, 1917. Veterans of the war remember the events from the strenu- ous months which followed, starting with enlistment, then training and finally actual service for large number of them.
 Although few services of any kind are announced in Arkansas 10 com memorate the event, several post of the American Legion have announced public services at which the declara ton will be fittingly remembered.

MO. STAR SELECTED
 ASHENDRIX COACH WILL SUCCEED HEADRICk Charles R. Woody of Missouri Uni versity to Guide Bulldog Athletics
 in 1920-2l Season.

Charles R. Woody, University O
 Missouri letter man in football ant
 baseball, and a holder of football baseball and track letters from Drur!
 College, will be athletic director a
 Hendrix College next year, to succeed W. M Headrick, who resigned to en ter business in Texas Mr Woody's selection as head of Hendrix athletics is announced in the current issue of the Bulldog.
 The new Hendrix mentor has re- gently been released from the army He coached several army teams, which were un formly successful. His prin- cipal athletic experience, however. has been with the Missouri U. team in the strong Missouri Valley Confer ence, the strongest conference in the west except the Western Conference. MT. Woody started his athletic career in his high school days. From the high school, he went to the Spring field Normal, and there won his let ters in football, baseball and track. He repeated his performance at Drury College, and probably would have done so at Missouri U., except for the rule of the conference winch forbids a student to participate in more than two major sports. He was on the Missouri football and baseball teams for three years. The freshman rule barred him the first year.
 All manner of fiattering recommen- dations were given MT. Woody before his selection by Hendrix. He was recommended as an all-round athlete, successful and experienced coach and a real leader on the athletic field While the college accepted Mir Head rick's resignation with considerable regret, it was in a measure offset by the good fortune in securing Mr. Woody. He was released ty the Uni versity of Missouri, where he is this year coach for the freshman team to accept the position here. Ills work will commence wth the opening of the school in September.

What Are Your Eye Worth?

Accident insurance companies pay full face of policies on the loss of both eyes the same as for the death of the insured. When the insurance companies consider the value of both eyes equal in loss to life we should certainly guard them with all precaution.
 A thorough examination, prop CT glasses fitted now save you endless worry and the knowl- edge of having taken the nec- essary prccaution of glasses are not needed is certainly worth looking into.

 The Bulldogs came near staging ninth inning rally when Paris hit to center field. He was caught steal ing second. Had he remained at first, the chances are he would have been advanced to th I'd on the hit by Will Hams. AS it was, Williams hit to left field and attempted to stretch the hit into double.
