SUMMER PLANTING.
Is there an idle square rod in
Arkansas that can grow feed or
food for man or beast? If so,
spot it and plant something.
When one crop is removed get
the ground ready quickly and
plant something. Plant what?
Well, here are some things to
plant and you may think of many
others. This will apply to
vacant lots and gardens in towns
and villages as well as the
county. Sweet potatoes for
food and market; soy beans and
velvet beans, if planted before
June 20th; pumpkins, squash,
sorghum, tomatoes, cabbage,
carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips;
corn for green feed for milk
cows in September. Plant,
brothers, plant. Send for a
'^Garden Calender to Director
Cooperative Extension Service,
Old State House, Little Rock or
to Fayetteville.
SET OUT THE BOX.
A Little Rock dispatch savs a
local cigar dealer remarked the
other day that many retailers
unintentially violate the federal
statutes every day. He stated
that the international revenue
law requires that when a cigar
is offered for sale the dealer
shall set out the box and allow
the customer to make his own
selection. It is also a violation
of the law, he said, for a cigar
to be replaced in the box after
it has been taken out and
handled.
SIGNATURES.
Is there any reason why a
business man should write a
signature that cannot be de
ciphered by one who does not
know it by heart? It is suppos
ed to be the worst possible taste
to address a correspondent with
a mispelled name. But when a
letter comes into a business
office, typewritten, and with no
key to the writer’s name except
an absolutely unreadable scrawl
at the foot of it, what is the
person who answers to do?
Amendment No. 12 is a meas
ure which people of every politi
cal faith and interest can con
sistently support. Democrats,
republicans, socialists and single
taxers will alike benefit by its
adoption. It will insure ample
educational facilities for child
ren whose parents are unable to
send them away to school, and
the stimulation of property
values will more than offset the
nominal increase in the tax rate.
Considerable interest center
ed around the Chicago conven
tion last week where a battle
royal took place as to who
will butt his head againt a stone
wall next November. Hughes
and Fairbanks were nominated
while the Progressives nominat
ed Roosevelt and Parker. The
Democratic convention is in full
blast at St. Louis this week with
all its work cut out for it.
There is only one man in the
minds of the delegates and the
democrates of the nation Wood
row Wilson, the greatest states
man .of modern times.
The present indications are
that Phil D, Scott of Van Buren
will be appointed by the Demo
cratic State Central Committe to
fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of J. S. Malony as
presidential elector.

There is much water scatter
ed over the country now and
judging from the signs there is
more to follow.
Cotton is all hoed out in this
section, but will suffer for plow
ing if the wet weather continues.
The oil wells are still stand
ing idle, but drilling will begin
again as soon as a new cable ar
rives.

held at Cecil Sunday, 11th. The
exercises were very creditable to
the children and a lecture at 3
o’clock p. m. by the Rev. P. C.

through Yellowstone Park was
very instructive and interesting.
There was an abundance of
dinner on the ground and think
the day was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present.

TABLETS
rUS is just what you need, madam. Many
women who were troubled with indigestion, a
sallow, muddy skin, indicating biliousness and
habitual constipation, have been permanently cured
by the use of Chamberlain’s Tablets. Before using
these tablets they felt miserable and despondent.
Now they are cheerful and happy and relish their
meals. Try them. They only cost a quarter.

That is right —go after them.
The good people around Cecil

grinding them, preparatory to
cutting wheat Monday morning.
The wheat is low but rather
thin.
The Irish potato crop is rather

Last week it was terribly hot
and dry. but this week its
awfully wet, cold and disagree
able , but we are busy as bees.
Some have their crops all clean
and are helping the fellow
that’s behind, for one dollar per
day. Thousands of sweet pota
toes and other plants are being
set out while the ground is wet.
Uncle Henry O’Neal raised lots
of winter turnip seed and phon
ed and sent word all around for
all the neighbors to come and
gather all they wanted—and we
went, lots of us, so we are pre
paring now to have turnip
greens next winter.
Cattle buying and selling
seems to be in order just now
and we have two vats close and
we are dipping too, and it seems
to me that it would be the very
thing to dip the stock hogs and
get rid of the lice the same as
ticks.
Irish potatoes are fine and
almost ready to dig.
Mrs. Alfred O’Neal has been
very sick and Dr. W. M. Wear,
of Paris, was called in to consult
with Dr. King, and her life was
despaired of for two days, but
she is up now and getting strong
again. Her mother, Mrs. Wil
lis McElroy, of Etna, was with
her the most of the time during
her sickness.
Health is very good here now.
Don’t see any doctors passing
around
Wheat and winter oats are
not very good, but spring oats
are looking very well.
Sunday school at Mt. Hope is
thriving and we have singing
every Sunday afternoon. J. D.
Holladay has proposed to teach
singing every Saturday after
noon if they will come and try to
learn, so come on young folks
and old and train your vocal
organs while Mr. Holladay is in
the notion to teach free.
White head cabbage, peas,
beans etc., are fine and some
have an abundance and to spare.
I was a little bit surprised and
disappointed to know we would
just have one Spectator a week,
but was not a bit displeased for
I know we will appreciate the
one we get and maybe more
than we would if we knew we
would get another that same
week. Long live The Spectator.

you bathe outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin porea do
not absorb impurities Into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a well
known physician.
To keep those poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate In it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. It
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which Is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your-sys
tem of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac
cumulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep It up!
