encouraging instance from
Batesville is given here and will

Rev. F. M. Smith, West Side,
|Batesville, Arkansas, says: “I
suffered for a long time from
backache and my health was
becoming all run down. I had
dizzy spells, my sight blurred
and other symptoms of kidney
trouble were present. I was
fortunate enough to hear of
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
went immediately to the root
of the trouble, restoring me to
the best of health. I have just
as much praise for Doan’s Kid

previously recommended them.”

Entertains Senior Class.
The Senior Class of 1914
; were royally entertained at din
ner Friday evening by Wylie
McMinn, a popular member of
the class, whose hospitality was
certainly enjoyed by the fine lot
of girls and boys composing the
class.
The dinner table presented a
most exquisite appearance in the
decorations of green and white,
the pretty class colors. A cen
ter vase of white carnations and
green candles with white shades
formed a beautiful setting for
the serving of a delicious six
course dinner. The place cards
were in green as were the mints
on which the names of the mem
bers of the class were written in
white.
The dinner is the beginning of
a number of entertainments to
be given in honor of the Seniors
of this year, but none will
outrival in beauty and pleasure
the dinner given by this mem

I TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
[
| Princess Hassan Tells of a Meal and
Its Service In the Land of
True Epicures.
A tvnira! French dinner—tint an
“xoeptional one, mark you. but such
a dinner a? a small tradesman's fain
' Mv would have—is .noomparably su
- perior to the plain roast dinner.
There would be. first, of all, a few
relishes, according to the season of
the year. Radishes, ice cold. Sardines,
olives, eaviar. Just a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite,
then the soup to excite gently the
liquids of the throat and stomach,
then a little entree—usually a bit of
fish with its appropriate vegetable,
or a handful of vegetables flavored
with meat sauce. Then, and not till
then, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but In no case will
It be anything which Is not In har
mony with the previous courses and It
will be eaten In moderation, for the
edge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded it. With It comes the
salad—varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
son, and never, never by any possi
bility will it be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romaine, strawberry
and green pepper thing. After the
salad there will be fruit or mellow
cheese, and then coffee. It will take
two hours to eat such a dinner, but It
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it,
and there will be no Indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din
ner Is composed.—Princess Hassan In
an Interview by Louise Rice In the
Delineator.
GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
There Is a Point to This Import**
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This la not an American Joke. Ths
reader is solemnly warned that It
Is of German extraction. Germans,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
broad and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin Hugo.
It seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of It and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. As
he climbed the stairs he stumbled (In
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down into the hall below. The
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to be, was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the family doctor, an estimable
old gentleman, and administered
soothing words while he encased the
patient In plaster.
"I know, my dear sir," he said, “that
It hurts like the deuce, but it Is not
a bit dangerous. All the same you'll
have to stay In bed for a while. Ton
got a nasty fall. How did It happen!
Was It dark?"
"It was not, doctor," replied Cousin
Hugo with some asperity, “It was
light"

Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood In a lumber yard may be
sick and Infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights in a new
building. Some of the diseases are so
contagious that in a building they will
lump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical Bn
glneers.
Most of the diseases are varieties ot
dry rot caused by a ftagus, and most
of the varieties of dry rot fungus can
not stand heat much over 100 degrees;
so the most likely core Is to close a
building up tight, if any beams are la*
fee ted, aad heat It up to U0 or 140 de
grees. Bvea this Is not always sao
cessful, for ends of beams are burled
In the outer brick walls aad the heat
may not reach them. —Saturday Eve

Advice From a Buyer.
T. J. Gregg, manager of one
of the largest cotton buying
firms represented in this city,
; the Lesser-Goldman Cotton
Company, has sent out a letter
to the farmers and ginners of
this county, urging upon them
, the importance of good planting
seed and what varieties do best,
that the yield and price may be
made the highest. Following is
the letter, which all farmers
should read:
Newport, Ark., Feb. 21, ’14.
Dear Sir:
Now that the time for prepar
ation for the new crop is near at
hand the matter of Planting
Seed should be given attention.
While we are not at all interest
ed in the sale of any particular
variety of planting seed, we are
very vitally interested in the
character of cotton grown in
this territory.
We are blessed with a climate
and soil peculiarly adapted to
the growth of inch and an
eighth and inch and a sixteenth
cotton. Such cotton is as sta
ple as Star Tobacco and there is
always a demand for it. In that
boll weevil has invaded a very
great part of the cotton belt
where such cotton as the above
has been grown, the adaptabil
ity of our soil and climate to the
growth of such cotton and our
freedom from boll weevil is an
asset that we should by all
means take full advantage of.
It strikes us as being a very
grave mistake that Half and
Half, High Linter, World’s Won
der, King’s Improved, and other
short staple seeds should be
planted in this territory. The
continued planting of this seed
will certainly result in less desir
able cotton and a consequent
lower buying basis for the terri
tory. We know of crops planted
last spring with Rowden seed
that proved most satisfactory to
the demand at a very consider
able premium over the short
cottons mentioned above. The
object of this letter is to strong
ly advise the planting of Row
den, Bennett, TViumph, or other
seed yielding inch and a six
teenth to inch and an eighth sta
ple, and that especial attention
be given to the betterment of
the length and strength of our
staple together with maximum
yield per acre.
This can be accomplished only
by careful selection of planting
seed and judicious use of means
for conserving and upbuilding
the soil.
Yours truly,
Lesser-Goldman Cotton Co.,
Tom J. Gregg,
Manager

Candidate For Constable.
The Independent takes pleas
ure in announcing the candidacy
of R. L. Bandy for constable of
Bird township. He is a capa
ble young man, who has had ex
perience as an officer, having
served as deputy constable two
years under A. M. Ballew and
three years as a deputy sheriff
under his father. If elected, we
are sure that he will make an
efficient officer, prompt in the
discharge of his duty.
