THOUSANDS VISIT
THE STATE FAIR

Big Success.

The Arkasas State Fair open
ed in a riot of scenic beauty
and magnificent proportions
Monday morning. 1t required
more than an hour for the pa

and other spectacular features
held the closest attention of
the throngs lined along the
streets.
1t was press day and the
Fair Association, with the as
sistance of the Press Associa-
ton, royalty entertained the
editors and their families. Ev-
cry courtesy and a free key to
everything was extended the
press folk. The Rice Assocla-
ton of Stuttgart, entertained
the press people at a six-course
dinner. During the hours a
number of Stuttgart society
girls, as Rice Queens, entertain
ed with continuous vaudeville
numbers.
Hampstead County's exhibit
is one of the most cre6itable
and uniquely arranged of the
entire fair. The exhibition is
in charge of Mrs. Ida Fenton,
the Home Demonstrator for
Hampstead County. Mrs. Fen
ton was assisted by w. Homer
Pigg, County Farm Agent, in
assembling the splendid exhib-
lit. While COTTON is stressed,
everything that can be grown
lin Arkansas is shown there.
Fine apples, ribbon and sor-
ghum cane, nuts, including
English walnuts, and every
thing grown in Hampstead are
there. 1t is really a revelation

THE GREAT
DANGER OF HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE

Thousands of men and women have
high blood pressure and do not realize
1t, Dizziness, headaches, sleeplessness,
nervousness are some of the tell-tale
signs. 1t is usually caused by some
functional arrangement of the vital
organs such as the liver or kidneys or
habitual cogging of the intestines
When this happens, as it usually does,
in middle life, Nature calls for help
and the heart tries to answer by doing
double work by pumping more blood
to the attacked part of the body.
This creates terrific pressure and
often results in apoplexy, Of which we
read so often.
simple, safe remedy for high
blood pressure and the conditions that
cause 1t, is now offered in scientific
Balm. Balm will relieve your high
blood pressure by acting quickly and
effectively at the seat of the trouble.
1t Will stimulate your liver and cleanse
the system Of the impurities that in
terfere with the regular functioning of
the vital organs.
Balm will make You feel better in
few days. 1t is put up in convenient
tablet form and can be had at all
good druggists such as The Clark &
Brainerd Co., The Dickinson Drug
Co, Malinowski and O'Brien.

SQUAD OF 40 COPS
GUARDING HARDING
New York Extends Welcome to
President and His Party

New York, April "a. - President
Harding arrived at the Pennsylvania
station shortly after o'clock this
morning prepared to make the first
of series of several addresses plan
ned for the spring and summer. He
will speak today to members of the
Associated Press in their annual meet
j ing.
Small Crowd on Hand
The president and his party arrived
on a special train of three cars which
was greeted only by a handful of
lnewspapermen and a few policemen
and plain clothes men who had been
detailed to remain with the presiden-
tial party throughout its New York
stay. The party included Mrs. Hard
ing, the presidents physician, Dr.
Sawyer and Mrs. Sawyer; Mrs. Ed
ward B. Mclean, wife of the Wash
|ington publisher, and two aides
Although the president and other
members of his party were in their
berths when the train arrived, they
made their appearance in less than
an hour and breakfast was served in
the presidents car at o'clock.
40 Cops as Bodyguard
The party then made preparations
for an early departure for the Wal
dorf Astoria where the president will
stop during his New York stay A
| m otorcycle detail of 40 policemen
awaited the appearance of the party
at the station gates with instructions
| to remain with the president until he
leaves the city.
Have Breakfast at $3.50
Mr. and Mrs. Harding did not
breakfast until $3.50. Shortly after .
o'clock they left their train and walk
ed through the station to the string
of motors waiting their party. An
open car was selected for Mr.. and
Mrs Harding. but because of the
chill in the morning aid the first lady
of the land demurred and chose
closed machine.
Because of the uncertainty of the
hour of the presidents arrival
smaller crowd than usual was on hand
to greet him. Comm uters, however,
fingered ir the station to cheer him
and a fail sized crowd was massed
on Seventh avenue.
The presidential party drove
through 32nd street to Fifth avenue
and then uptown to the 33rd street
entrance to the hotel. 1t was under
stood the president would remain in
his suite until he appeared at the
luncheon of the Associated Press.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Harding reach
ed their suite they found that the
Camp Fire Girls had left flowers
there for them.
May See Ball Game
There was a hint that the president
after the luncheon might journey up
town to the new Yankee stadium to
watch New York clash with Washing
ton and that Mrs. Harding might
make tour of New York shops. The
tentative program for the evening
called for visit to musical show.
General Sawyer who is chairman of
the disqualification committee of the

veterans bureau, left the hotel soor
after his arrival for an inspection OF
the new Gunhill hospital in the Bronx.
Sends Out to Store.
Mrs. Harding later decided not to
visit any stores herself but sent her
maid to buy some articles and had
some goods sent into the hotel for
her inspection. She seemed in ex-
cellent spirits as she appeared at door
of her suite and chatted with MEM
bers of her party.
The president limited his activities
this morning to receiving a few visi-
tors. Among them were Will H.
Hays, former chairman of the repub-
lican national committee and Charles
d. Hilles committeeman from New
York.
Melville T.. Stone, counsel for The
Associated Press, headed a committee
of the Associated Press directors who
called upon the president and off,
cially welcomed him.
Among other visitors to Mr.. Harding
were Merritt Spidel an Iowa news
paper owner and Bob" Decker, an
old German school teacher who for
merly taught in Marion.

FRUIT RAISING DECLINES
Prof. Hollister Tells Lions Of Deca-
dence of Horticulture in New Eng
land in Past so Years.

Prof. s. p. HOLSTER told the men,
bers of the New Britain Lions club
at the regular meeting held this noon
at the Elks club, that it is harder to
raise fruit in the Eastern states than
it was SO years ago.
In his talk the speaker asserted that
s1S,000,000 is lost every year in this
country in the raising of various kinds
of fruit. He also said that he was
sorry to see that apples grown in the
western states were crowding the
eastern markets when plenty of
apples are raised in this part of the
country.
Burt Nolan, appearing at Fox's
theater, entertained with number of
songs. DR.. Joseph Potts gave an IL
Illustrated talk on the planting of small
pear trees.
