Hay Fever Is Sneezed Open.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., August 21.
—“Kerchoo! “Ker-chool”
Followed by sniffing and snif
fles, stentorian blowing of the
nose and subdued maledictions,
this was the nation-wide, ac
claim today to Mr. Hay Fever.
He arrived, officially, today to
open the hay fever season of
1914- Not until frost will the
old annual “pest” depart, ac
cording to popular and materia
medica belief. Physicians say
today is actually the dawn of
the season of hay fever, marked

“One crying need in our state
is for experienced road over

I that 5 per cent of our road over

in reading up on road matters.
We do not blame the road over
seers, it is the system we blame

ECHOES FROM BATESVILLE
Batesville Happenings Always
Interest Our Readers.
After reading of so many peo
ple in our town who have been
' cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills,
the question naturally arises:
“Is this medicine equally suc
cessful in our neighboring j
towns ?” The generous state-:
ment of this Batesville resident j
leaves no room for doubt on this 1
point.
G- W. Adkins, Eighth street, j
Batesville, Ark., says: “Not j
| long ago I was troubled with
my back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint. I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and my gack
i hasn’t bothered me near so
j much since. The other ailments
have been greatly relieved-”
Price, 50 cents at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney ,
| remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mr. Ad
kins had. Foster-Milbum Co.,

Bov Scouts Hike To Meadow
Lake Farm.
! At 4 a. m., Tuesday morning
the Boy Scoots of Troop No- 2,
| under the care of Scout Master
! Heaton, and Assistant Scout
I Master Ralph Hirsch, started on
their first hike
j The night before wTas spent at
the Parish House in order that
all might be together at the
hour of starting. By six thirty ,
jthey were at the lower ferry,
where they halted and cooked
breakfast, which it is needless ^
to say was enjoyed by the boys. (
After a long w'alk a stretch of ;
woods was reached, in which,
they lost their bearings and,
separating into two groups to
find the main road, they finally ,
came upon a sawmill, where ^
their eyes met the first person
outside of their troop that they
had seen since leaving the ferry.
While in the woods they be
came very thirsty and one of the
number, Master Elbert Bennett,
who is the mascot of the troop,
told the boys, after they had .
found the road and were dis- j
cussing the pleasures (?) of be- J
ing lost in a dense forest, with
no water to drink, that he “be
came so thirsty in the woods
he started to ask Mr. Heaton to
stop and make some coffee.”
Tney at last came upon a pret
ty knoll or Meadow Lake, and
all Tuesday afternoon was spent
here resting in the shade of the
trees.
Six o’clock found the boys

rested from their trip, and a
most enjoyable supper of squir
rel stew and coffee was eaten,
after which, in the language of
the boys, they “sure did sleep”,
wrapped snugly in their blank
ets.
On the return home a different
route •was chosen, via Nuckolls
Switch, which shortened the
distance considerably, and all
arrived home safe and sound
Wednesday afternoon at four
o’clock, expressing themselves
well pleased with their first
hike, and thanking Messrs. Hea
ton and Hirsch for the pleasure
afforded them.

SCOUT SCRIBE.
State Guard Has Sham Battle.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 21—
When the people of Little Rock
and Argenta today forenoon
heard a great rattle of musketry'
and saw two opposing armies
struggling for possession of th>
free bridge between the two cit
ies, the imaginative may have
thought for a momnt that the
Germans and Allies were at our
doors battling over the passage
of the Meuse. But it was only a
war problem being worked out
practically by two batallions of
the Arkansas National Guard
now in camp at Fort Logan H.
Roots.
The problem involved the rear
guard of a defeated army, and !
the advance guard of a victori- j
ous army. The first batallion of ,
the First Infantry, Maj. Curtis
J. Little commanding, formed \
f M A V'A A*! t A wa4-virtA a/4
v“ V v-Lii. Q i VUbV/U VW
ward the bridge- The first bat- j
tallion of the Second regiment, J
forming the advance guard, j
with Maj. General Fred Greene ;
in command, endeavored to cut
off and destroy the rear guard
before it could pass the bridge.
At the conclusion of the maneu
vers, the two battallions were
paraded through the main
streets of the city.
Maj- Little’s command con
sists of the companies from
Jonesboro, Piggott, Blytheville
and Yellville, and Maj. Greene’s
command consisted of the com
panies from Harrison, Fayette
ville, Springdale and Paris.
These two battallions will
complete their camp sendee on
next Tuesday and depart for
home, and eight other compan
ies will go into camp Wednes
day. The camp is most success
ful, although many employers
throughout the state have re
fused to permit their men to
participate in it. The compan
ies a2-e averaging about 40 men
each.
v'ouny Man vtust Have Friend®.
For boys and young aion friendship
is a prime necessity of existence.
When a man has established himself
in life and the Interests of home and
wife and family have absorbed him,
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship But as long aB he is young, un
married and unsettled, he Is as de
pendent on friendship as on air or
■cod.
Finest Crop of All.
"No country, after all, produces any
better crop than Its inhabitants. And

God-friendly American people I have

of them are still to be found upor
