EFFECTIVE HOCL LAW.
 FOR POLK COUNTY.
Amended Law to Governor Early in Month and Will Be Signed, Says Representative Johnson--Clerical
 Error in First Bill.

Polk county has a full-hedged Hog Law. or will have when the amend ment to the original bill is signed by the governor, and the governors ap- proval is said to be certain.
 The first attempt at enactment of a Hog Law for Polk county was, as stated in The Star, nullifed by ore provision, the incorporation of which in the bill, was purely and simply clerical error.
 This clause is as follows:
 Provided, this bill shall not apply
 to fencing districts in Polk county
 unless a majority of the land own
 CTS of any of said districts are in
 favor of it, and so declare by vote,
 in any of said districts.
 With the above clause eliminated by amendment, the laws become effective sixty days after receiving the sigma ture of the governor.
 The law, in full, was published in recent issue of The Evening Star and in the Weekly Star of March 10. A few extra copies of the latter issue are held in the office and may be se- cured by parties interested, if any.

VAST DEPOSIT
 OF RICH MANGANESE ORE
J. D. Budd Says He Believes This to Be Biggest Body of Mineral Ever
 Found in Arkansas.

J. D. Budd, president of the Cora c. Mining Company, with main work ings just west of Hatton, while in Mena Monday told of new ore de- yelopment of more than ordinary in terest.
 On the holdings near Hatton, near a fine mountain stream, ore seven fine springs.
 These are located on a side hill, close together and drain into stream at the foot of the hill. They have attracted considerable attention because of the strong mineral pro- perties that were apparent 'n the waters, and it may have been this mineral content that caused H. H. Hindshaw, the Atlanta, Tex, mineral ologist and geologist, which recently spent several days at the mine, to suggest to Mir. Budd that he make an opening at that locality, assuring him he would knd ore.
 Anyhow the opening was made, and then it was enlarged. and at this time it has been ascertained, The Star is informed, that ore ranging from 5 to 5 feet in thickness and 400 feet across the end, and more than one fourth mile long exists at that place, and this ore is what is known as free" ore and contains neither rock nor clay, needing neither crushing nor washing to prepare for market.
 As a result of this find members of large corporation are expected to arrive within a few days to inspect the property.
 Mir. Budd reports that the work of grading and building the dump is under way for the l h miles of rail- road connecting the mill site with the Kansas City Southern railway at Hat ton, and large part of the concrete dam, to hold water for running the mill, has been completed.

Vital Warning On Care of
 Measles
Is Dangerous Disease and Many Die of Pneumonia Brought on by Care lessness-Pa Patients Should Be Kept in Room.
.rnm rhe Arkansas pemoerat.

From The Arkansas Democrat
 Because of the fact that number of reports have reached the office of the health department within the last 10 days of cases of pneumonia devel- oping among children who had been afflicted with measles, Dr. John Thames, city health officer, Monday morning issued a warning to parents and others who may have chagre of measles patients to be especially care full about permitting them to leave the sick room before they had fully recovered, and about keeping the sick room in a sanitary condition. Dr. Thames says the death rates from pneumonia following measles is very nigh and that as a matter of fact there is no reason why there should be any deaths from this cause if the proper measures are taken protect the pa- tient.
 During the year 1920 there were 370 cases of measles in Little Rock and not a single case of pneumonia de- veloped. Dr. Thames says this con- dition was due to the fact that per sons having charge of the patients obeyed the instruction of the nurses sent out from the health department who have instructions as to the proper manner in which to handle them. The health officer says that for some req son unknown to him, it does not ap- pear that those instructions are being followed in all cases this year, and that the development of pneumonia is the result.
 Iii his warning to the public, Dr. Thames says:
 Measles has been epidemic in Little Rock for some time. We find well established idea prevailing that the measles is an inevitable occurrence in the life of child, and the sooner over the better. So long as parents and guardians entertain such an idea, measles will continue as long as there is material to work on. Quarantine is useless, for the reason that the most contagious time is from one to two days before the case is noticeable. the case is noticeable.

HOW ALFALFA GROWS HERE
Stands l4 Inches Tall on March IA
 Used as Poultry Feed.

Alfalfa that stands IA inches tall on the 14th of March, is offered as proof of the fertility of Polk county soil. The alfalfa can be seen at the home of W. s. Mapes on Port Arthur avenue, where it is used principally as feed for the flock of full bl d White Wyandottes. Mir Mapes saQtes that last September he planted the alfalfa seed in his garden and was rewarded with good growth before winter came ofh No special preparation of the ground was made and no inocula- ton used. The alfalfa continued to grow during the winter and since the weather began to get warm the plants have made a great increase in size. Mir Mapes has farmed for many years and has grown alfalfa in Oklahoma and in convinced that the legume can be grown proftably in Polk county if soil is properly prepared.

from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians made experiments and fin
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from

He freely gave what might be call

urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery

derstanding that he will freely return

SCRIPTURE READING.

Bible reading is said to be markedly
on the increase, and it is explained by
persons conversant with such matters
that this is largely due to the Pocket
Testament league The leagues pledge
is simple-to carry a Testament con-
stantly in ones pocket and to read a
chapter daily. 1t binds one to no church
or creed or open profession of religion,
yet its effect in spiritual uplift is said
to be plain and far-reaching. There are
branches of the league all over the coun-
try. Where the idea has been given
publicity it has been followed by an
awakening of interest among individuals
who formerly had appeared TO be entirely
bound up, in secular affairs. Chapters
of the league in many of the big states
prisons bear witness that the Tesla
ments are worth their weight in gold'
for their effect upon the readers.
The habit of daily reading of the Scrip
lures is a good one All of the great
truths upon which life is founded are
there set forth. simply and powerfully.
And aside from the Bibles moral and
spiritual qualities. it is a handbook of
pure and beautiful speech. wellspring
of romance and a record of history with
few equals in any tongue. If the pocket
Testament league furthers acquaintance
with it, humanity stands to benefit.
