DODSON WOULD STOP
SALE OF CALOMEL.
Says Calomel Is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.

Dodson is making hard fight against
calomel in the South. Every druggist has
noticed great falling of In the sale Of
calomel. They all give the same reason,
Dodson's Liver Tone is taking It's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
It, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said q
prominent local druggist. Dodson'a
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed BY
every druggist. A large bottle costs but
a few cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have only to ask
for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you viii feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a days work! Take bod
sons Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full Of vigor and ambition.

10 MAR0ONED BY FLOODS
Lafayette County Farmers Rescued by
 Searching Parties.

TeXarkana. May 21-Forty people marooned on the top of the levee and in houses in Lafayette county on the Lester Plantation were rescued in small boats late Thursday afternoon, after having been surrounded by water five to seven feet deep since Mon day. They had suffered no special hardships, however, they reported Fifty head of mules now are on top of the levee and efforts to get a gov ernment boat from Shreveport to bring them out have failed, the boat being laid up for repairs. It is said no further efforts will be made to bring the stock out, as the river is reported as falling at Garland City, a few miles below where they are ma rooned and the owners probably will wait until the water subsidies to res cue the animals.

GROWING SORnuElI.

Somebody has suggested that big acreage should be planted in sorghum this year as is being done in some counties in the state. One reason is that long sWeetening will go far to take the place of high priced and scarce sugar. Another reason is that sorghum is just about the best syrup in the world anyway, and it takes good money to buy the other kind A fur ther reason is that sorghum will sell If there should be more grown than the local markets can absorb it can be put up in cans and sold in large quan- titles by the farmers selling co-opera- lively. That piece of land that would otherwise have to lay out because the rains kept you from getting it in will do nicely for a sorghum patch If there is more than you care to make up, the hogs do well on the juicy stalks a it furnishes them a feed to tide them over an important gap. An other big item that would fit in well with conditions this year would be sorghum soWn for hay IL may not be the best hay in the world, but il is good and fl you cannot at the time ar range for something better. it will be found to fill the bill The average farmer. who grows good crop Of cot ton and gets a good price for it, is borrowing money with which to buy feed before his next crop is made. There is just lots of time to grow feed that will make the corn last lon ger. Sorghum is only one of them. Grow sorghum.

SIX MILLION FOR ROADS
Arkansas Roads are Planned to That
 Amount for Year.

Little Rock, May 25.-(SpeciaD - Virgil P. Knox. State Highway Engin- eer, reports the following probable construction for the year 1920:
 Asphaltic concrete, 40 miles, $1 ,400,- 900.
 Penetration macadam AZ miles $745, ,O0O
 Waterbound macadam, 45 miles $90O,OOO Gravel, 373 miles, 23,75O,OOO. Total $6,7S6,OO0.
 These figures are approximate since it is very difficult to separate work on a yearly basis, the contracts being let by local improvement districts and covering one to five years work The State Highway Department does not have charge of construction and there fore must depend upon district engi- neers for some of the information.

INTEREST IN OIL WELL
Test Hole Near Lewisyille Said To
 Show Good Indications.

Lewisville, May 23.-Considerable interest in the oil we'll being drilled near here by the Keen x Woolf Oil Company was shown when Henry Pitts the driller announced that a strong showing of oil had been encountered. The well is 2,762 feet deep and the drill is three feet in the sand, it is said. After passing through 100 feet of hard shale a cap rock six feet in thickness was encountered and directly beneath this sand was struck
 Eight-inch casing was set at 1,l6l feet and the hole is open beneath this, but is in good shape, the drille1 said. The mud in the hole is heavy yet a pronounced showing of light oil, estimated to test ;5S degrees came to the surface and covered the pit with only few minutes or drilling in the sand, according to Pitts, Con siderable gas also is showing through the heavy mud. it was said.
 Six inch pipe is on the ground and a test will be made within the nert few days as soon as cement can be shipped and the casing set.

A bunch Of the right kind of men can make a good town anywhere With nature to help them they will build city The thrifty and worth while city or town is but an index to the upstand- ing quality of the manhood that built it. If you want to know why your ideal city or town is what it is and how it came to be, you will not have to go muchfurther than to meet with it's men.

 Representatives of the Constantine interests here,' including Sam Arren- dale, who assisted .n blocking the leases, said today that they believe the we'll eventually will prove pro- ducer of oil in large quantities.

Warming is Being Sent to Farmers to

They are advised not to plant any thing shorter than 1 1-16 It is point ed out that where the long staple is mixed in the gins with the short staple it takes the price of the short staple, and there is a resultant loss of about S25 a bale This loss it is estimated will amount to millions of dollars an- nually which might be saved by plant ing the long staple which is demanded by the spinners,
