0klahoman Praises Black-Draught. Having Used It ''Can Safely
 Say for 50 Years"

Grandfield, Okla.-One of the best known farmers of Tlman County, MT. c. w. Tisdale, who owns and manages wagon yard here, says:
 T have used Thedfords Black Draught-I believe I can safely say for fifty years
 "I was born and reared in Texas, Freestone County, sixty-four years ago. I have been married forty-four years. My father used Black-Draught before I was married, and gave it to us
 For forty-four years of my married life, it has had place on our medi- cine shelf. and is the only laxative. or liver medicine, we use. We use 1t for torpid liver, sour stomach. head ache, indigestion don't think we could get along without it, knowing what 1t has done for us, and the money 1t has saved. It Is just as good and re- liable today as 1t was when we began Its use. My boys use 1t and they are satisfied it's the best liver medicine they have ever used"
 Thedford's Black Draught is purely vegetable, not disagreeablo to take and acts in promnt and natural way.
 So many thousands of persons have been benefited by the ,se of Thedford's Black-Draught, you should have no hesitancy in trying this valuable old well-established remedy, for most liver and stomach disorders. NC-13Sb.

/ PENCILS PER PERSON U. s. NATIONAL AVERAGE But Suitable Wood Now Scarce and Makers After New Supply
 Graphite Important.
tBy the Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. 27.-Where do all the lead pencils come from and where do they go? Although almost everybody has one, many folks never buy one, but even so more than 750.- 900, ,000 are manufactured for use in the United States every year, using up many thousands of cords of wood.
 But woods suitable for lead pencils are becoming scarcer and many manu- facturers are turning to paper. Red cedar and red juniper, says the Amer jean Forestry Association are the woods chiefly used in making lead pencils. A hunt is on for other kinds of wood that will take the place of these. In East Africa a kind of cedar has been found with which ex- periments are being made. The pro- duction in the United States IS about S0,000 cases of pencil slats per year. From each case 100 gross of pencils is made. This results in about one billion pencils of American grown ce- dar. Since one-fourth of this aum- Der is sent to foreign countries that leaves 750,0O0,00O pencils for the home market, which means an average of seven pencils per person figuring on the last census.
 As far back as history goes nan has tried to make things to mark with and to set down his thoughts The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had crude marking devices. As early as 1750 Kahn, Swedish naturalist, made experiments with American cedar. In 1872 William Monroe made 300 pen cils at Concord and sold them in Bos- ton but the war stopped his plans, In 1861 Eberhard Faber began mak- ing pencils on g large scale in this country.
 The grapmte which makes the mark is of course the important part in the manufacture of the pencil. Cevlon has furnished much of the graphite used in this country. Graphite is also found in Madagascar and in Mexico. Czechoslovakia contains deposits of both the amphorous and crystalline graphite. In the United States the chief deposits are in Alabama, New York and Pennsylvania.

MEET 10 CONFER
 ON NEW BRIDGE

At the request of County Judge C. vii be held at Palarm tomorrow af- ternoon with the commissioners of highway district No. 10 of Pulaski county and of the Conway and Palarm district and Judge E. l.. Smith of Faulkner county to discuss the matter of erecting a new bridge across Palarm creek on the Conway-Little Rock road
 The present structure is entirely in- adequate and unsafe for the traffic that will come when the hard-surfaced road is built between here and Little Rock, but as the creek is the line between the two counties, neither of the improvement districts which will build roads to it would be authorized to construct the bridge.
 It is believed that federal ai} to the extent of possibly 50 per cent fl the cost of the bridge can be secured and that Pulaski county, on account of it's greater wealth will pay the greater part of the balance of the cost, leaving comparatively small proportion of the total cost to be paid by Faulkner county.
 Judge Mover will be accompanied by Roy L. Thompson. president of the board of the Pulaski district, Don Me Crae, the district engineer, and J. F. Hamlin. Members of the Conway and Palarm board and one of its engineers will go with Judge Smith.
