NEW CHEVROLET IS
BIG IMPROVEMENT

The new model Chevrolet car has
arrived in Askov and it is a beauty.
The Sorensen-Miller Co. put a coach
on display at their Service Garage
Saturday.
The car has Fisher body painted
in green with black trimmings, has a
stream line effect as the higher
priced cars and puts up good ap-
pearance. Among the new features
that were not on the 1927 model are
a better cooling radiator, crank case
ventilation making it especially good
for winter use, thermostat in cylinder
head-thus heating up the motor
quicker, individual emergency and
four-wheel brakes, a convenient in
strument panel, and shock absorbers
on all four springs. 1t takes 30x4,50
casing and the body of the car is five
inches longer than last years coach,
making it more roomy. And with all
those improvements the car sells at
$3.50 at Askov, the price being $40
lower than last year. There are many
callers daily to see this new car at
the Service Garage.

A CORRECTION

The Minneapolis Tribune of Sun
day, Feb. 5, contained a full page
article on the results obtained on the
farm accounts route at Askov. Mr..
Collision, of the Tribune staff, erred
in quoting figures on the Chris. Fred.
eriksen farm. The production as CIV
en- for cows and poultry on this farm
for 1925 and 1926 is the average for
all farms in the route, and does Mr..
Frederiksen IA decided injustice when
quoted as his.
According to the route records for
1925 and 1926, his butterfat produc-
ton per COW was 800 pounds and
304 pounds respectively, including ev-
cry cow in his herd. His egg pro-
duction was also we'll above the route
average, being LAG and 1875 for these
two years.
1t should be stated here that the
route records for butterfat production
are more conservative than those of
the COW testing association, as they
are based upon creamery reports plus
whole milk and cream used in the
house and fed to calves.

Rooms and Hotels.

You may get rooms or apartments
with all sorts of facilities. They have
natural gas here and | presume that
it is very cheap. Many sleeping quar-
ters have little room in connection
with a gas stove and free gas where
you may do your own cooking if you
like. These rooms range in price
from 81 to SIS a week. l was offered
a fine large room suitable for two
and well furnished for 81 a week.
l took a smaller room heated by gas
and equally we'll furnished at 81 a
week. At advanced prices, you may
stop at hotels where you pay for
more service and where you may feel
little more classy, if that is your
desire. However, l am inclined to
think that most of those who come to
the Hot Springs feel their diminu-
tive unimportance on account of their
physi-infirmaties. Thus it is, they
are just common folks. Common
troubles make the whole world kin.
And now for the bath.
The Doctors.
The doctors apparently have a firm
hold on the minds of the home folks
here. They will all advise you to
see a doctor first whether you have
a sore toe or an incurable case. But
if you have a reasonably clear con-
science and have not lost faith in
your own power to recuperate, take
some baths; try it out and try and
get well without doctor. Drink lots
of water and take plenty of exercise,
walk long distances and eat moder-
ately and we'll and you will feel new
life springing up within, for believe
it or not, these are the noted springs
which Ponce de Leon sought in 1872,
the springs of perpetual youth"
Bath Houses.
There are nineteen pay bath houses
at Hot Springs besides the Govern
ment free bath house where satisfac-
tory evidence must be given that you
are an INDECENT before you will be
given access, and the Army and Navy
General Hospital for the care and
treatment of the army and navy boys.
You Go In.
You may purchase ticket emitting
you to a course of 81 baths for from
SIG to $23 or single baths at prices
already indicated. You sign a leaf
let that you will abide by the con-
stitution, the rules and regulations
of the Interior Department, that you
are a good citizen and other words
to that effect pay your money and
having passed the scrutiny of clerk,
you become bather in good stand
ing. You are then handed tin box
and key into which you put your
watch and other valuables, glasses,
etc., place the box back in position,
turn the key and with rubber wrist
band attach the key to your wrist.
You are next ushered into dressing
room or booth where you disrobe.
Then, if you have a bath robe, you
put it on and saunter out to your
doing. If you fortunately have no
bath robe to bother with, you are

in the afternoon, and l am going out
to walk till six, but before l do so,
must tell you that the weather is just
fine. l use no overcoat nor overshoes.
The sun is shining and as l write
my window is up and I am comfort
able and fit. No snow nor signs of
snow since I left Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin. 1t rained in Chicago and
on the way here. 1t is springlike and
yesterday a gardener told me he was
making garden.

Had Heard of Minnesota.

While on the train last Wednesday
night between Poplar Bluff and Hoxie
l noticed a new addition to our car
in the person of man and wife and
four children. My curiosity was
aroused as this family appeared diff
ferent from our farmers, so I made
bold to speak to the man. They told
me that they were farmers going to
Hoxie and that they raised corn, hogs,
and cotton. Proud of my native state,
I remarked that I was from Mime
sofa. BY their blank expression it
was plain that the name Minnesota
was a conundrum to them. Don't
you know where it is?" l asked.
We've heard of it," they replied. And
then I said, That's where the Mis-
sissippi rises" which evoked the re-
Spouse, Eyes, I've heard of it." But
then, this family l am sure is not
typical of the farm families of Ar
kansas.

KERRICK
(From Another Correspondent

Word has just been received here
that Miss Ida Olson underwent quite
serious operation at Rochester last
fall. 1t seems that several years ago
she was injured in her head in an
automobile accident which finally re-
suited in an abscess and blood clot.
from which she has suffered for some
time and which finally necessitated
an operation. Friends are glad to,
hear of the favorable result from the
operation.

of this place.
Have Never Bathed.
If you have never been at Hot
Springs any bathed in it's hot waters
fresh from the earth, so hot that it
must cool beforl you dip into it,
then you never have taken a bath.
1t is simple process, however, for
everything has been provided for
your comfort, ease and pleasure.
There are many bath houses, some in
connection with hotels. The price of
a bath without any side charges addi-
tional range from IS cents to $1.15
with attendant, towels and everything
included. Water from the same gen.
eral fountain is used in all bath
houses with government supervision
everywhere. So no matter to which
ever bath house you go, you have
water of the same quality only the
service is slightly different. Yester-
day l took q bath at the IS cent
house, but this morning something
was wrong with the steam connec-
tions and that l might not have to
wait an hour, went to another where
the charge was IS cents. l did not
like the service so we'll.
Expenses.
1t may be interesting to know just
what the process of bathing is. Lay
ing aside all sham and eXcressences
which one finds always around a
health resort, there is a direct and
short way to health contained in the
baths. 1t must be remembered that
most of the people here live off the
whims and necessities of those seek
ing health and few who come for
pleasure. Don't be in a hurry to get
located nor to take a bath when you
go to the Hot Springs to battle. Take
your time. You can find all kinds
of accommodations and good ones too
to suit your capacity to spend. The
prices are certainly low. With an in
quiring turn of mind one runs into
all sorts of situations in search of
truth. l was passing a good looking
dining room yesterday and thought
that perhaps l would like to dine
there. l changed my mind when upon
inquiry l learned that the price for
dinner was ST. and with meat $1.50.
On the other hand there is a place
down the street where you can get
full dinner for twenty-five cents
and a chicken dinner for thirty-five
cents. Its good, too. It's clean and
the employees all have health GER
tificates. Here's good breakfast for
twenty-five cents: fresh egg, coun-
try sausage, potatoes, bread and but
ter, all you want, both white and
graham, oat meal and cream and
whatever you like to drink.

given a sheet, which answers the pur-
pose quite as well and so you go to
the bath tub. The tub is of the
ordinary porcelain kind but long
enough so that you may lie fully
stretched out in it to soak for twenty
minutes. Before you get into the tub
it is filled with hot water piped from
of 100 degrees F.. There is a colored
attendant watching after you all the
time and at the end of the twenty
minutes he gives you thorough
soaping and rubbing. Then you get
out of the tub and take shower and
another rubbing when you are wrap
ped in a sheet and either lie down
or sit up in a chair to sweat it out
and cool off. Then comes another
rubbing and you are ready to dress.
Back to your booth you go, don your
garments, go out and unlock your
valuables and you are done.
You are advised to drink all the
water you can while bathing and so
through drinking and this soaking in
process the curative values of the
water are to affect you. Whatever
it is that does it, one gets a decided
tonic from these baths. They do have
a rejuvenating effect and the sore
ness of muscles is relieved and almost
if not quite abolished. Some take
the baths every day while others
not so often.

BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, March 24.-With
specimens taken from the site of

presentation of testimony which
probably will require another week
For more than four hours the
jury tramped over the site of the
wrecked structure and viewed the
scene of destruction. With miner S
picks they broke off sections of the
huge concrete pile and pecked at
the cliffs to which the dam was an
chored.
These specimens We're brought
back by the jurors and it is expect
ed that they will be closely studied
over the week end. Most of the
time was spent in studying the for
nation of the hills in which the dam
was constructed.
The jurors gave no indication as
to whether they believed the struct
ure had been faulty.

NEW YORK, March 24-With
the New York state legislature in
adjournment, the eastern states are
looking to Governor Alfred f.
Smith for some activity in his own
behalf as a presidential candidate.
The New York governor is the
leading Democratic candidate from
PENNSYLVANIA to Massachusetts and
from Maryland to Maine. Any an

After he has concluded hearings
