school. She was of a bright, happy
sunny disposition, with a bright

others. This, with her happy dispo-

shown by the large number OF peo'
ple at her burying, bringing the
large tribute of flowers. Every
place of business in the little towr
of Como closed during the funera
hour and nearly all the villagers at

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
: BY JESSIE ROBERTS
BOOKSELLING

ONE of the best known and most
~ successful retail sellers Of BOOKS
In this country went on record recent
", in a speech made before the WOm-
ems National Bookselling association
az believing that an era Of great ex-
pansion for the small bookshop Is at
hand, and he added that he thought
women were particularly suited 10
take a large part in this expansion.
~ think that many women who have
worked as librarians would make first
class booksellers, and / think that
good business woman could not 40
better than put her money into
small book shop in any of the thou
sands of towns throughout America
where there is no such shop at pres
emit" He added that there was al
ways a better chance of succeeding
with a bookstore in town that nad
a public library, than In one wnere
there was no such institution.
Yet 1t Is possible for clever woman
to 50 arrange things that her LITTLE
store will become an attraction even
In a neighborhood that has not yet
ACQUIRED a taste for reading. Special
programs and lectures could be ar
ranged for in the shop; there should
be a carefully thought out plan BY
which to attract the children; there
might be poster displays that woul'
strike the popular fancy The thini
to do Is to get people to come to tn
store in the first place, by any mean
that will seem effective. The actua
buying of books would come later, bu
it would come.
LET the women get in now" sal
the speaker, "for we are at the begir
ming of an important and interestin
expansion Of retail bookselling. Tn
more bookstores there are, the bette
each will do, for book buying is
progressive disease. Once you cate
It, YOU can never shake 1t off. In
field is tremendous, and there isn't
more interesting profession In tt
world"
The line forms at the rlght-don
crowd, please.

NOTICE ExlsERvIcE MEN

The American Red Cross in Weak
ley county has exhausted its funds
and unless money is Immediately
raised by the people to carry on the
work until November Of this year
the office at Dresden, of which Miss
Mamie Tansil is home service secre
tary, will be closed at once. This
must not happen as it will mean that
the ex-service men of the county will
have no place to go to get their
claims filed in order that they may
get their compensation and hospital
treatment. This work is very compli-
Gated and must be done exactly right
or the government cannot pass on the
claims. It takes highly trained per-
sons to do this work and the entire
time of one person is taken up; there
fore it is necessary to keep paid
worker on the job at all times.
The soldier work is increasing
every day and today more soldiers
are filing claims than at any period
since the war. The following will
give the public some idea of what
is being done for the disabled SOL
diers of Weakley county:
Er-service men in government
hospitals receiving treatment
Ex-service men taking vocation
al training in the various
schools Of the country
Ex-service men with cases pend
ing for compensation, who
have tuberculosis and must go
to government hospitals just
as soon as their claims are adj
juSted ---------------S
Ex-service men that filed claims
for compensation since Janua-
nv 1, 1921, only small per
cent of these claims have been
passed upon to date ---------lSO'
Ex-service men who have been
passed upon since January 1,
who are waiting for hospital
treatment and should go to the
hospital at the very earlist pos
Nlm
sible moment
Miss Mamie Tansil, through the
Red Cross, has already secured COM
pensation for over 100 ex-service
men and the total amount coming
into the county each month is over
$4,000 for these men. This means
over 100000 year coming into the
county. Wneh every disabled soldier
gets what is justly due him from the
government the above amount will
be doubled.

FILTHY MAI.LOHlNG HOLES
 MENACE TO HOG RAISING

Dusty beds, stagnant water, stubby coarse pastures, lack of even a small amount of grain feed, worms and lice are the menaces which threaten hog production in Arkansas during the summer months," says T. Roy Reid, live stock specialist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas
 Muddy, filthy pools of water for wallow and for the supply of drinking water for the hogs are common menaccs, Mr Reid states. The hog needs from 8 to 12 pounds of clean water per 100 pounds of weight day. A good concrete or lumber wallow can be constructed at little expense, can be kept clean and fresh and the water in it is easily kept covered with oil which will prevent heavy lice infestations. (See page 20 of Farmers Bulletin No. 1085 for plans for a wallow.) The drinking water should be pro- vided from fresh supply so that
 
 from the wallow
 Stubby coarse pastures of tough native grasses furnish the summer ration which sustains the life of some and causes the death of ether Arkansas hogs every year. The hog has a small stomach not adapt ed to using coarse roughage. Fresh suceulent vegetation supplemented with a light grain ration makes the most economical gains. Every hog grower should have good Der muda and lespedeza pastures with summer and fall forage crops for his herd when the pasture grasses are dry and hard One or two pounds of a mixture of half corn and half shorts for every 100 pounds the hog weighs, fed daily, makes a good ration to feed to hogs on pasture.
 Worms in hogs can be largely prevented by maintaining clean beds, clean wallows, fresh water and con stant access to a mineral mixture made in the following proportions | Charcoal, 1 bushel; hardwood ashes, 1 bushel; salt, 8 pounds air-slacked lime, pounds; sulphur, pounds; pulverized copperas, 3 pounds.
 The lime, salt and sulphur should first be mixed together and then mixed with the charcoal and ashes. The copperas should be dissolved in one quart of hoe water and sprinkled over the above mixture. Keep this m a setf-feeder or box where it is accessible to the hogs at all times,
 Write to the Agricultural Exten- sion Division, University of Arkan- sas, Little Rock, for plans for build ing a good hog wallow.

for instance, the statutes provide for extraordinary motions for new trial in cases of discovery of new evidence. It is probable that the criminal lawyers of the state will undertake at the next session of the general assembly to remedy this defect in our criminal code.
The courier-index., 1921-07-01

AikdIhdS IS OhS O1 the Jew states in the Union where new evidence in a criminal trial is not sufficient ground for a new trial unless it be set up in a motion within the pre- scribed limit of time.
 If a person is convicted and sen fenced for felopy, the motion for a new trial must be made before the end of the term. After the close of the term evidence that proves the innocence of the accused be- yond a doubt is not in itself suffi- eient grounds for the court to act and the only recourse is a pardon by the governor.
 To take an extreme but possible instance: Suppose man is con- victed of murder and sentenced to electrocution. On the day of his execution, the man whom he was convicted of having killed appears in person at the penitentiary. The warden would net be authorized un- der the law to stay the execution and the circuit judge himself would have no power to interfere. Under the provisions of our statutes, the execution must proceed unless the governor could be appealed to for a reprieve and a pardon later. Some years sgo the legislature passed law extending the time for filing motions for new trials to 30 days after the end of the term in cases where the trial was held with in three days prior to Hae close. Upon being tested, however, in su- preme court, it was decided that this statute applies only to civil proceedings and not to criminal cases. In consequence the anti quated statute which denies an ac- cused person the relief of a new trial remains on the books.
 In some states, as in Georgia,
