NEW METHODS
TUBERCULOSIS

The latest development in the
treatment Of tuberculosis is the
mbination of camp life with the
service of a model hospital always
available. In the high foothills of
the Southern Sierras of Riverside
county, California, a millionaire's
mansion has been converted into a
complete general hospital and ad-
ministration building and sur
rounding it in a beautiful 500 acre
park are new open air cottages
screened and shaded. Here, safe
from intrusion, far above the noise,
dust and heat of the valley coun-
try, the man of moderate means
has a fighting chance to win his
way back to health. For informa-

Brightest Pros

Everything is looking good al
House; wheat is coming along
fine; prospects are bright, and
everybody wears a smile. Didn't
they win the school bondsl 81
majority. That's fine, and they
deserve a good school. The di.
rectors are busy on the job and
have hired all the teachers. We
understand that Miss Bessie Gull
berson has been offered posi-
ton on the teaching staff of the
House High School. also Mr..
Green Wise and his sister, Pearl,
and Mr.. Dunlap is going to be
the Principal. We wish them ev-
cry success for the year.
The stork has been very busy
at House. Grandpa Hooks is 60
ing around with a smile that will
not wear off, receiving congrat-
ulations from his friends about
his first grandboy, that was born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Hooks,
on Saturday morning, also boy
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Sparks, of Rancho, on Friday.
The NEWS extends heartiest
congratulations to the parents
of the fine boys.
The mail route from House to
Tolar is very rough, in fact, last
week Mr.. C. Rogers was stuck in
the mud five hours and last Sat.
urday he was stuck for over an
hour. The preacher was along,
so Charles was pretty good with
his language.
We were sorry to hear that Mr.. |
Edgar Sparks had his hand hurt
with a planting machine. In try.
ing to remove weed which was
caught in the machine, his hand
was pulled in and he lost part of
two fingers of his left hand. DR..
Herring attended him and sent
him home again with a bandaged
hand. Guess hs was thinking too !
much about that big boy that ar i
rived and didn't look after him
self properly. Don't let those lit

GOVERNOR FAVORS COTTON POOL PLAN
Cotton Growers Should Turn Atten ton to Problems of Marketing, He Says-Heard Sapiro's
 Talk.

Little Rock, Dec. 8.-Thomas c. McRae, governor of Arkansas, en- dorses the 200,00 bale cotton pool as strongly as any man in the South. Governor McRae returned to his off, flee this week, after a Acying illness of several days, during which it was feared he might have to undergo a surgical operation.
 q heartily approve of the com modity plan of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Association for marketing cotton, he says. T heard Aarn Sapiro's splendid talk upon it, and I was profoundly im- pressed with his argument. 1 trust the organization will be made suffi- ciently strong to dominate the cotton industry. The cotton growers who have become experts in the produc- tion of cotton must now turn their attention to the transportation and marketing of it. Hitherto they have depended upon others to do their marketing for them, and they have met disappointment. It is their busi- ness, and am glad to see that they are resolved to attend to it thru a strong, efficient organization. The farmers can count upon my hearty cooperation in any plan has for it's purpose cheaper transportation and better marketing farm products"

YELL COUNTY TICKS "IN BAD.r
Grady Hand Will Start Warfare on
 Pests With New Year.

Grady Hand, who has put forth his very best efforts in the eradication of the fever tick in Polk county, and had carried it so far that the quarantine was lifted except in a few districts where the opposition had held up the work, is leaving for Yell county, where he has been employed on a similar task With Mrs. Hand, he will be at home in Danville imme- diately after the first of the year.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that Yell county has had an experience similar to that of Polk The cleanup work was carried forward against odds, and when near done was stopped by the refusal of the Quorum court to make a small but necessary appropriation. With the work stopt and the quarantine again in force for one year, the Quorum court, awakened to the bad situation, voted an appro- priation of $7500, and called for the best man that could be had in the hope of making up the lost ground.
 The Danville Democrat in a recent number said:
 Grady Hand, formerly of Melville more recently of Mena, was visitor to Danville this week. Mir. Hand is connected with the tick eradication work and he is to be sent to Danville
 Yell county would be fortunate ir securing the services of this exem- pliary young man. Mir. Hand has made a study of this line of work and understands the business from A to and is. the kind of citizen we are pleased to have locate with us.

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS
Moonshine Still Taken Near Nunley,
 Two Men Arrested.

Much Christmas cheer of the kind that comes in fruit jars was spoiled Sunday morning by the vigilance of a trio of Polk county deputy sheriffs, to wit: Marion Lewis of Board Camp, P. Reed of Acorn and Viii Faulkner of Egger. The three deputies de- scended upon a whie mule factory on the banks of Starkey creek, south of Nunley, and thoroly disorganized a promising holiday business. The still, one that, judging from it's appear ance, had seen hard usage, and nine or ten barrels of mash were destroyed. It is believed the operators were get ting ready for a run when the officers appeared. The deputies arrested Sed- ford Heath and Spear Ellsworth, who were arraigned before Justice G. L. Clement Sunday and were bound over to the next grand jury. Both men gave bond of $500. each. The officers state that they found Ellsworth sit ting at the still and Heath came while they were watching it.
