Prize Winners Announced. I
Special to Independent,
Little Rock, Dec. 23.—Prizes
were ottered by State Superin
tendent George B. Cook for the ,
best compositions on the sub
ject, “Why I Like Farm Lite," !
to be written by the pupils of j
the public schools, and read
as a art of the program on Ag
ricu! ural and Rural Life Day,
December 5. and sent to the De
partment for grading. Over
seven hundred compositions
were submitted, and the work of
grading has just been completed.
The following prize winners
have been announced:
Girls—F irst prize, S2 to No.
20 (no name yet received). Wil
ton, Ark-, 0. E. Kalb teacher; ;
Second prize, $1, to Myrtle
I Simpson, Keevii Mrs. Susie
Throckmorton teacher.
Boys—First prize, $2, Don
ald Jones, aged 13 years, Green
land, Ark., John F, Jones teach
jer. Second prize, $1, Lewis
j Moore, Greenwood, Miss. Tenuie
i Watson, teacher.
Much difficulty was found in
grading papers. Many were set
aside because they were care
lessly written and lacking in
neatness, and many on account
of poor penmanship. A large
number of otherwise excellent
compositions contained mis
spelled words while some were
too long.
“Scores of these composi
tions,” said Supt. Cook, “de
serve special mention and com
pliment. The influence of the
! boys’ and girls’ agricultural
clubs is shown throughout the
large portion of the composi
tions. It is rapidly becoming
more efficient in bringing the
schoolwork and the home life,
; aspirations and needs of the pu
pils in closer touch. It has been
! no small task to grade some sev
|en hundred papers but it has
; been a labor of love and I wish
to thank each boy and girl
; whose papers have been received
and each teacher who sent the
1 compositions to this department.
“This plan has proved so suc
cessful and the pupils and teach
ers have shown so much inter
est, that it will be the policy of
Ithis department to offer similar
| prizes annually. Next year the
prizes will be larger than they
were this year.”
“Montana Dan” Addresses Boy
Scouts.
“Montana Dan”, traveling
| scout master of the Boy Scouts
| of American, Indian fighter and
[government scout, who is ap
pearing at the Palace, addressed
the local Boy Scouts in a most
interesting and entertaining
talk this afternoon at the court
house.
Montana Dan impressed scout
ing lore upon the boys with
; practical demonstrations, though
in such a delightful manner as
to make them sigh for further
information. He also told many
ctAVlP? flf ad
illivi --—
venture, and of course his West
ern costume and long hair add
ed much charm to the tales.
The famous scout, who will
soon have his book, Forty
Years West of the Rockies,”
published, expects shortly to (
engage in the Boy Scout work
exclusively, and his book which
is filled with knowledge con
cerning the great open, will be
presented to every Boy Scout in '
the land. He will conduct a par
ty of eighteen Boy Scouts from
Virginia, San Francisco, afoot,
for the 1915 exposition. The
party will start from Virginia
next October, and expect to
make the trip in five months.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It’s For One Thing Or ly
Newport People Appre
ciate This.
Nothing can be good for every
thing.
Doing one thing well brings
success.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kid
neys.
Here is reliable evidence of
their worth.
Mrs. B- F. Owens, Magness,
Arkansas, says: “One of our
family complained a great deal
of a dull pain in the small of the
back. Dizzy spells were common
especially in the morning. The
kidney secretions were too un
natural. Hearing Doan’s Kid
ney Pills highly recommended, a
box was procured. They made a
cure.”
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Troubles,
bat Finds Better Way.
Columbia, Tenn.—"Many a time,”
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place,
“f wished I would die and be relieved
of my [suffering, from womanly troubles,
i could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed in bed
most of ihe time,, 1 could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally. I
took Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and 1 don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
1 am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as ii everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms oi womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.
At all druggists.

Did You Ever Wash Clothes
in the old fashioned way with
wooden washtubs?
Perhaps that Is still your method
and you look forward to each wash
day with delight. Well, hardly!
A set of "Standard" laundrj
trays would mean an orderly laun
dry, one of more inviting appear
ance and easier laundering and you!
satisfaction would not be lessened
by the high class workmanship
which characterizes the work we do.
