LOCAL CITIZENS FORM
INDUSTRIAL COMPANY

A company was formed in Pocahon-
tas this week, which will have for its
purpose, lines of manufacturing that
may mean much for the county. 1t
will engage in such lines of industry
as may he of help to the agricultural
section of the county in the way of
using farm products.
The first step taken by the company
has been the leasing Of Sallee Broth
ers' Canning Factory. 1t is intended
that the canning factory will be run
to its full capacity and the farmers
of the county will be encouraged to
grow tomatoes for sale at the factory.
The personnel of the company con
sists of f. Dalton, J. ID. Wells, L. T..
Smith and w. l.. Pope. These four
men represent a part of the small
group of men to whom the people of
the county look for their civic and in
dustrial guidance. Mr.. Dalton is
banker, practical farmer and is now
representing Randolph county in the
Arkansas legislature. Mr.. Wells is
likewise practical farmer and a bank
er and is in very close touch with the
affairs of the people of the county. Mr..
Smith was formerly county agent and
has recently had charge of the Sallec
canning factory. Mr.. Pope is an at
torney, known in all parts of the state
for his ability and legal knowledge and
is one of the most forward thinking
men this section has ever produced.
These gentlemen are to he commend
ed and encouraged ON every hand for
their efforts, for it is apparent that the
greatest need of this section of the
country is factories located in our
midst, which can make use of products
grown on the farm and give employ
ment to many people in our city and
county who need the employment

DIR. ERICSSON HERE FOR
CHIROPRACTIC CLASS

DR.. Vernon Ericsson of the Palmer
School Of Cbiropractic, THE Chiro-
practic Fountain Head" Davenport,
Iowa, has recently made a tour of
Arkansas, in behalf of the progress
and development of the science of
chiropractic.
DIR. Ericsson held only two district
meetings in Arkansas, at Pine Bluff
and PocahOntas.
In his program Dr. Ericsson lectured
J On the most modern methods of ChirO-
practic and held a clinic in DIR. II. fl.
Prices office where he examined sever
al patients with the most modern in.
strnment, the neurocalometer DIR.
Ericsson said that "the invention of the
neurocalometer, which is very sensi-
tive instrument that locates accurate
ly and scientifically the nerve pres
sures along the spinal column, is the
greatest step forward in the history of
chiropractic." THE science of chiro-
practic," he said further, "has made
very great progress during the past
few years by the use of,the X-Ray and
the neurocalometer which prove sclen-
tifically that the majority of all dis
eases are caused by nerve pressures
along the spinal column which inter
fere with the normal function of the
nervous system and this interference
to the proper function Of the nervous
system is produced by misplaced verte-
brae Of the spinal column.
"Chiropractic," he continued, "the
greatest drugless health science in the
world, has relieved millions of sick
people that were pronounced incura-
BILE. Because Of this great service rem
dered to the sick and suffering, it has
gained legal recognition in 2S states
Of the Union and many foreign coun-
tries. There are 10000 licensed Chiro-
practors delivering the chropractic
health service to more than a million
patients daily
The local chiropractor, DIR. Herbert
II. Price, graduated with DIR. Ericsson
in October, 1924, from the Palmer
School of Chiropractic. These two
were the first Neuro-Technic instruc-
tors Mt the Palmer School in the Aug
ust, 1924, Lyceum.
DIR. Price has been honored by the
head school In the selection of Poca-
hontas, comparatively small town,
for a district meeting and has been
commended for giving people of the
rural communities the advantage of
chiropractic equal to the large cities.
He has established an excellent prac-
tise on results by use of the neurocalo-
meter and all his modern chiropractic
methods.
DIR. Price is now remodeling his
office to take care Of an extensive prac-
tise.

S35,OOO DISTRIBUTED TO
FARMERS HERE FOR TIES

John ID. Campbell, local tie buyer for
the Western Tie & Timber Co. of st.
Louis, in an interview with Star
Herald reporter, makes the following
statement concerning the business done
by his company here during the past
two years:
II have been with the company here
for two years and have drawn my sal
ary every day except Sunday. l have
issued 1000 tie drafts, an average of
10 ties to the draft, which will equal
1000 ties. At an average Of 80 cents
per tie, these drafts will total approx
imately $4,000.
Il have had men haul ties from as
far as % miles, coming in one day and
going back the next.
Last week bought 42O loads, an
average of 40 loads day Counting
10 ties to the load, this amounts to
400 ties, worth to the makers, S2,100.
IL have discontinued buying gum
and elm ties but want all kinds Of oak
and cypress. We can not use any
doty, shelly or undersize ties and will
not buy them at any price.
II believe that we are in for boun-
tiful crop year and If my fellow farm
ers will diversity, raise all their eats
and feeds. the time will come when
they will haul ties only for pastime
and not because Of necessity"
