Med. SOCIETY
DR.. Scott Receives Letter In
dicating Greene County's
Birth Record-Increase
of 145.

DR.. F. NJ, Scott secretary OF the
Greene County Medical Society, is
in receipt of letter from the de-
partment of vital statistics of the
State Board of Health in
which the local society is compli-
mented by the state organization for
the very efficient manner in which
the records of births have been kept
during the preceding year. The
communication reads:
"You and each member of your
society will be glad to hear that for
the first nine months of 1921 the
of birth reports filed with
the bureau from the entire state,
exceeds the number filed for the
same nine months of 1920 by 1904.
In your county there was an in
crease of 145. This reflects credit
on the members of your society and
increased cooperation on
their part with the local registrars
and this bureau, which is encourag-
ing on their part to us, and we
take this opportunity OF expressing
our appreciation of their help
The bureau asks the members OF
the local society to carefully in
spect all records and see to it that
births and deaths be re-
ported at once. The communica-
tion concludes: 1T is up to the
physicians more than anyone else
to help put Arkansas in the Nation
al Birth Registration Area and we
are counting on you"

NO STRIKE Vote
AT PRESENT BY
RY. SHOPME MEN
New Rules of United States
Labor Board VIII Not Be
Accepted by Crafts
Want a Rehearing.

Chicago, Jan. 14-Railroad shop
union officials declared yesterday
there would be no strike vote at
present over working rules recently
promulgated by the United States
railroad labor board.
The new rules which replaced
the national agreement made under
federal control will not be accepted
in toto by the six shop crafts, but
instead of taking strike vote, an
attempt win be made to obtain a
rehearing before the board on GER
tain rules which have met with the
under fire are those which eliminate
time and one-half pay until after
the tenth hour of work and the
rule for the straight time only to
men regularly assigned to necessary
Sunday and holiday work. The
committee of 100, composed Of gen
eral chairmen of the six shop unions
from all sections of the country,
have been considering these and
other rules since last Monday in
conference here, with view to
asking the board to revise the Ian
guage.
OF the 1876 rules of the old ma
tional agreement, SO were left in
tact by the board. 1t is likely that
none of these rules will be ques-
toned by the committee.

FORD WOULD
Make USE OF
ISSISSIPPI
Manufacturer of Flivvers
Says Neglect of Power of
Big River Is a Stupendous
Waste.

St Louis, Jan. 14.-The Post
Dispatch yesterday published the
following special article from the
Washington bureau:
Washington, Jan. 13.-Henry
Ford, here to talk to Secretary of
War Weeks today about his Muscle
Shoals proposition, told the POST
view that he regards the neglect
of the power producing possibilities
of the Mississippi river as the most
wasteful thing in the world.
"As soon as we get the Muscle
Shoals plant going" said Ford, I'VE
will turn our attention to the Mis-
sissippi, and try to convince the
government that it ought to mako
make Muscle Shoals an object les
SON"
Ford said that at least 20 dams
for the development of power could
four or five below ST. Louis. He
estimated that there is a 400-foot
fall between st. Louis and the gulf.
Dams could be built in the
Mississippi" he said, chat would
furnish power for lighting, heating
and cooking in millions of homes.
Not only that, but lands would be
saved from flooding and then look
at the benefit to transportation.
Locks could be operated by ma
chinery in such a way that a boat
passing in the river would scarce
ly be stopped.
Then think of the valuable fer
tilizer that is going to waste, car
ried down tie river from highlands
and dumped uselessly into the gulf.
The river is carrying this soil away,
another example of the tremendous
waste due to non-development Of
the river.
Keokuk Dam Imperfect.
L
derstand has 40-foot fall, is too
high. 1t floods too much land.
Twenty-foot dams, series Of them,
would be much better.
Revenues from the sale of power
would quickly wipe out the cost of
construction. Then they could be
applied to other governmental pur-
poses, and so taxes would be re-
duced
'The government could issue cur
rency to build the dam instead of
bonds. This would stay in circula-
ton, to be wiped out gradually as
the cost of construction was wiped
out"
why" said Ford, eventually
the revenue from the power prof.
ects on the Mississippi that one
cost of the national government; in
other words, it would run the Unit
ed States. | don't mean to say
it would always do this, for we
some day be in the United States,
but it would run the United States
as it is today.
''The saving of coal would be
great benefit. Every horsepov
developed on the river would re-
place considerable amount of coal.
The engineers can tell you just how
much. Think of not having to fuss
with coal.
Would you deepen the channel
of the river to aid transportation
Ford was asked.
NO" he replied "we would work
the other way. Instead of digging,
we would raise the water by means
of DAM

A Cure for Pneumonia.

Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine, put In large spi.
der over hot fire; then add about the
same quantity of rye meal, and vine-
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put it in cotton bag large
enough to cover the lungs, and apply
to the chest as hot as the patient can
bear. When this gets cool apply an
other, and thus continue by reheating
the poultices, and in a few hours the
patient will be out of danger This
simple remedy has never failed to
cure this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until the perspiration starts freely
from the chest.

To Appreciate it, See II Work.

We have no experience in farming,
but we can can tell good work, rapid
and thorough work when we see it in
progress. Much has been written and
said in recent years about the advan-
tage of the Fordson Tractor, and on
last Tuesday afternoon we motored to
the farm of E. A. Mckinley, six miles
out on the Russell Springs road, and
was delighted to see one in action,
1t was started in a ten acre field,
the ground rolling, and it was aston.
ishing to see how rapidly and com.
pletely it turned the earth. 1t is a
labor saving machine, doing the work
Of four or five men and as many
horses, and doing it much better.
This machine has been introduced in
Adair and adjoining counties by Buch-
anan Lyon Company, and many of
them have been purchased, On this
occasion the disc and turning plow
was used, and it moved over the field
without interruption.
This machine is good for the farmer
who has surplus money, and it is bet
ter for the farmer who has not much
ready cash, as its work will soon en-
able him to save money. Therefore,
we conclude that no farmer can well
do without one. Get in communica-
tion with Buchanan Lyon Company
who will give you all the details, buy
one and save the labor Of horses and
men, doing your work so much quick.
