Raise corn to feed stock. Raise

land or time to spare you might
put it in raising cotton as a sur

plant cotton on land that will not

First non-stop motor test for six cyliii
der cars ever made in this country
Over the hilly districts of Pittsburgh, attended by
officials of note, the Mitchell Little Six has just completed 2,563
miles in a non-stop motor contest—the first ever held in this
country for six cylinder cars.
Every precaution was observed to make the test
jpublic and authentic and the company even went so far as to have
John H. Dailey, Director of the Pittsburgh department of Public
Safety witness the sealing of the self-starter and the locking of the hood.
The test was made by a Mitchell Little Six 1914
Model. The officials who witnessed the run were numerous and
there can be no possible question as to the facts as related here.
This test stamps thef Mitchell Six as one of the
greatest cars in the world, for the car was still running-sweetly
when the motor was stopped and migh^ just as well have continued
^definitely. The attention of the ptibli^ is called to this wonderful performance.
It should be an.infallibW guide to you in ,the;, choosing of six cylinder cars.

cotton. The average yield of
corn per acre in Arkansas is a
bout 16 bushels, and the aver
age of cotton is about 500 pounds
in the seed. At this rate the av
erage farmer with forty acres
of corn and cotton would make
about 8 bales of cotton and a-1
bout 250 bushels of corn. That [
is not enough for cultivating the
forty acres. By keeping stock
and using plenty of manure he
could make the same amount on
thirteen acres, 8 in cotton and 5
in com, and have 27 acres for
pasture, where the stock would
be daily enriching the soil. A
field put to clover and pastured
all summer and turned under in
the fall, will have to be poor
land if it does not make a good
crop the year following. If clo
ver is not available use feermu
jda or something else for pas
l ture.

Mrs. Laura Mink, R. F. D. No.
2, Box 92, Newport, Ark., says:
“My back was weak, which was
particularly noticeable just after
I had been doing my housework.
I had pains in my loins which
:ame on suddenly. My back
ached terribly and I was driven
almost frantic. I had heard so
many people praise Doan’s Kid
ney Pills that I finally got a box
at Dutton’s drug store, (Now
Walker’s Pharmacy). This one
box cured me and I have not had (
to use a kidney remedy since.” ,

Go and see this wonderful
Photo play—to appear at the op
era house Tuesday and Wednes
day nights.
* At my own private and per
sonal expense, I have brought to
this town one of the greatest
picture plays that has ever been
produced.
For years I have been waiting
land hoping for some book, or
flay, or sermon that would make
clear the powerful lesson that
this picture shows. It is a les
son that means greater success
—business success, social suc
cess, personal success to every
1 man who will take it home, to
himself—and apply it in his dai
ly living:
I brought, this picture to the
opera house because I believe
that every red-corpuscled Amer
ican man wjio sees it can re$.p a
profit from it—and become a
bigger man through it—and I
went to do my share to get it
before as many folks right here
at home as I can. It’s helped
me—I want you to enjoy its
! help* too.
I I am not going to spoil your
1 enjoyment, your “thrill” and
your excitement by telling you
here what the story is. Wait
and enjoy the surprise yourself.
I am simply going to go on re
cord with the statement that it
will grip you from the first ex
posure to the last scene—and
make you say a hundred times:
“Why wasn’t this picture ever
thought of before?”
Men have lost untold oppor
tunities; have sacrificed dear
est ambitions; have handicap
ped the hopes of years, purely
and solely through a lack of tht
knowledge that this picture viv
idly and dramatically imparts.
Men have euchered themselves
out of big business gafns, hav<
