 Prescott's free mail service started today with the installing of two car riers, one of the East side and one on the West side of the city. Street signs have been erected at the ip- tersection of all streets in the cor poration and souses have been num- bered and mail receptacles have been installed. Thus Prescott takes anoth- CT stride forward with other growing towns of the state. Now if we will get busy and send strong "business" representation of citizens to Hot Springs meeting and secure the Bank head Highway for Prescott and Neva- da County this will mean three strides forward compared with any other proposition now open to us.

COLLEGE COWS BELIEVE
 IN THE BULL CAMPAIGN

The gospel of pure bred sires has been going forth over the state from the University of Arkansas for quite number of years. It would be diff ficult to even estimate the number of converts for Arkansas has made rap id strides in this direction. Of es- pecial interest is the fact that three cows in the University herd have likewise become converted to the nec- essity for better bulls as is explained by H. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Animal Husbandry in the University of Arkansas in recent letter to a co-worker in Little Rock.
 "It is indeed gratifying to those who have preached the gospel to see the farmers of the state apprciat it.: but they have never even suspected that the animals themselvs hay been setting up and taking notice. How ever, the truth has come to light re- gently when three Ayrshire cows in the University herd each calved a nice healthy bull calf during the month of January. This fact would scarcely attract attention were it not for the fact that these same three cows made a similar record during each of the two preceding years Nine bulls from three cows in three years must surely be record. They have gone 100 per cent over the top in the bull campaign.
 "The success of the Pure Bred Sire Campaign is assured. Whenever the animals themselves take an interest and lend helping hand, the scrub sire is doomed. But a pure bred herd can not survive for many years with out female offspring. We have therefore, cautioned our herdsmen not to talk pure bred sires within hear ing distance of the cows around the University barns. We are stocked m with bulls now"

DEATH OF GODDARD GRADUATE.
Frank w. Elliott of Burlington Was Ill
Only a Few Hours.

Frank w. Elliott, one of the more
prominent of the younger business men
of Burlington, died in that city Satur-
day night after an illness of lew
hours duration with pancreatic trouble.
Frank w. Elliott was born in Water
bury Sept. Ia, 1873, the son OF William
r. and Electa Stevens Elliott, and was
educated in the public schools at Wa
terbury. and was graduated from God
dard seminary. In early life he entered
the Waterbury National bank, leaving
that institution in 1892 to take posi-
ton with the Burlington Trust com
pany of Burlington. He served that in
stitution faithfully for "a years, resign
ing to accept the position as assistant
to the president Of the Howard Nation
al bank, later becoming one OF the vice.
presidents and manager OF the bank,
which position he held at the time OF
his death.
He was an exceptionally strong and
successful banker, which reputation he
held throughout the state, and will be
greatly missed among the banking cir
cles of the state.
About 10 years ago he took over the
active management of his fathers lum-
Der business at Duxbury, the W. r. Ell
lott Lumber company, which company
has developed into one Of the leading
lumber concerns of this state. Later
he bought his fathers interest and took
as a partner T. G. Gau of Burlington.
He is survived in his immediate fam
ily by his wife, whom he married last
summer; by his father, w. r. Elliott
of Waterbury, and by one sister, Mrs.
Hattie Graves of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Mr.. Elliott was of retiring nature,
possessed of lovable disposition which
endeared him to host of friends who
deeply sympathize with his family in
his untimely death. The several clubs
of Burlington owe a great deal of their
success to his untiring energy and
sound business judgment. This was es-
pecially so of the Waubanakee Golf
club, whose secretary he was, and of
the Ethan Allen club, of which he had
been president. He was member and
served as treasurer for many years of
Washington lodge, No 3, A. F. and A.
NJ. also a member of Burlington lodge,
No. DIG, b. p. o. f., and the Lake
