Marines are supposed to keep on
fighting no matter what happens,
Private Ross J. Turner, in the front
line with the United States marines
in France, has measured up to this
spirit. In action against the Huns,
he was shot in the arm and other
wise wounded, but he remained at
his post until a superior attacking
force of the enemy had been driven
iway. Turner was one of those men-.
honed in general orders for conduct
‘well worthy of emulation and
praise.” He enlisted in the Marine
Horps at Rochester, N. Y., on August
>, 1915. His next of kin is given as j

COMMITS SUICIDE
WITH A .22 RIFLE.
—
Shirley, July 28.—Bernard Brown, j
who lives one mile west of here, I
committed suicide Friday by shooting !
himself through the head with a 22- j
caliber rifle. Brown and his wife '
are said to have been having trouble I
and he left their home and met her
along the road on her way home
from town. Brown sat down on a |
stump by the roadside and after a j
short talk with his wife placed the j
weapon to his forehead and fired. A
coroner’s jury found a letter in |
Brown’s pocket saying that the cause ;
of the act was that he saw his wife
in the woods near the Brown home
with another man.
PARKER CONVINCED
BY HIS EXPERIENCE
“I Can Recommend Tanlac In the ^
Highest Terms,” Says Well
Known Alabama Dentist—
Declares He Is Well Man.
“I am" firmly convinced from my
own experience with Tanlac, that it
will do all people claim for it, as I
am a well man now, after suffering
for twelve years until I took Tan
lac,” is the frank statement of Dr.
S. J. Parker, a well known dentist
of Roanoke, Alabama.
“I had a bad form of stomach trou
ble, which distressed me continually
or all these years,” he continued.
“Terrible headaches would come on
me frequently as a result of a nause
ated and upset stomach and would
last for hours. These attacks would
come as often as two and three times
a week. I lost weight rapidly and,
although I tried several of the most
approved remedies for thid trouble,
it resisted treatment and I continued
to go down hill.
“I read about what Tanlac was do
ing everywhere, and though I was
skeptical about proprietary medi
cines, I gave it a trial. I hadn’t fin
ished the first bottle until I saw fav
orable results, and I have continued
|
to improve until my stomach is
completely set in order and the oth-'
er conditions arising from it have
been entirely relieved. I am a well I
man now, and I can recommend Tan
lac in the highest terms.”
Tanlac is sold by all druggists in
Jackson county.
HERBERT C. HOOVER
IS ENDORSED BY NEWS
PAPER CORRESPONDENTS
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 29.—There is an
old and approved saying that if any
man “makes good” with the news- j
paper boys in Washington, that per-1
son is a success. There are no more j
keen critics or better judges than the j
men who write copy for the papers
in Washington and the correspond- |
ents for newspapers published
throughout the country. The Wash- j
ington correspondents are in a class
by themselves.
An interesting incident that took
place in Washington previous to the 1
departure of Herbert C. Hoover, food
administrator from the United States, |
but which has been withheld from
publication until the arrival of Mr. j
Hoover in London was announced, i
was made public yesterday by the;
publicity department of the State
Food Administration.
The day before Mr. Hoover was
scheduled to leave for New York,
twenty-six newspaper mep, repre
sentatives of newspapers published
throughout the United States, called
on him and participated in the final
conference he had with newspaper
men, at the conclusion of which they
presented Mr. Hoover with the fol
lowing signed testimonial:
“Mr. Hoover:
“The newspaper men of Washing
ton who have watched your efforts
since you came to Washington today
salute you as an official who has
made good.
“It is a little more than a yeafc
since you became Food Administra
tor of America—virtually Food Dic
tator of the World. You have played
the part well. You have stood the
test. The American public are with
you to a man. The name of Hoover
has become a houshold word. There
is not a woman who has not subscrib
ed in deeds daily accomplished to the
work you have set before her.
“When you came to Washington
we knew you as Herbert C. Hoover,
the mining engineer. Then we
dropped the middle initial and for
awhile we called you Herbert Hoov
er.
“Today you are known the world ,
over as Hoover, the man who is re
sponsible for the food for our fight-1
ing men at the front and our men
and women working at home.
“As Hoover, the man, we wish you
good luck and God-speed. As Hoov
er, the official, who has made good,
we salute you.”
NOTICE.
To Chairmen Local Committees,
To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
1. The fuel situation confronting
the nation is serious. It is impera
tive that there be a co-operative dis
position on the part of steam-usera
to equip their boilers for the use of
such grades of coal as may be avail
able, if the domestic consumers and
the essential industries are not to
have a shortage of prepared sizes
during the trying days of the com
ing winter.
2. Loss of coal production jn
many of the western states, includ
ing Arkansas, is largely attributable
to the fact that there is not now suf
ficient means for the untilization of $
slack coal. The early ordering cam- s
paign in this state has met with a
ready response on the part of con
sumers, and retail dealers report they
booked sufficient orders to keep them
busy 60 days, and those who have not
placed their orders should do so now.
3. Industrial plants and the con
sumers of prepared sizes are expected
to do their full duty, and the stedm
users are called upon to make pre
parations for the use of more slack,
or the whole system of production
and distribution will be badly crip
pled. -
4. It is urged upon the owners of
steam plants ir> Arkansas, as a pa
triotic duty, that they proceed to
equip their boilers with specie^
grates and blowers to enable them
to bum and utilize approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand tons
of Anthracite slack that for the pres
ent, there is no market, and place
their orders to the extent of their
storage capacity.
5. This applies especially to An
thracite slack. The changes in fire *
box equipment can be made at a
comparatively small cost and it will,
in the end, prove to be more econom
ical, on account of the lower cost of
slack, and at the same time, will aid
in the production of Anthracite coal
that is so badly needed.
6. Get ready to burn more slack
and keep the miners busy.
