Patron Station Are Now Receiv ing More For Butterfat. The method of cream buying at stations has been unchanged for many vears, but like other ways of doing 'usiness has finally become out joint with modern conditions.

I he commission plan or cream buying has been discarded, becaus it levied too great a tax on the pro u'ueer with a large can of (nam, It seems fuir that it costs the same to test and handle a small delivery cream as it does to handle a large can, ana for this reason, the crea.it erics operating in this section have started to buy all cream at the di ect shipper price at stations, less a nominal chatge which represents the iictual cost of testing the cream and the other costs such as furnishing cans supplies and field supervision The way the plan is working, the patron with a large delivery is netting 1c or 4c per pound butterfat more than on the old basis, and with the price averaging -at least 5c per pound higher than ever before as compared to the hicago standard butter mark et, even the producer with a small batch will net as much or more than on the old plan. The new plan is meeting with ap proval wherever it has been properly explained, because it really means higher prices for churning cream than ever before.

Sixty-six boys, sons nf land own rs in the immediate vicinity of Moun ain Home, and members of the 411 Joys Club, have recently completed hinting 16 acres in walnut trees, a art of this acreage being planted on ach of the farms on which they live, purpose of the planting of these rees was to lay up something in he way of revenue for the future. By he time each of these youngsters is 0 years old, each one of these trees vill have an approximate value of CO for the timber they contain, and ong before that will be producing a rood annual revenue in nuts. The mys obtained the seed for planting 'rom native trees, picking the best ind largest nuts. Walnut timber each i'eur becomes a little higher in price, and the nuts, not so long ago thought valueless for market purposes arc now in good demand. A number of oncerns now buy walnut meats by the pound, and some people in the Arkansas Ozarks make more than wages in supplying this demand.

Each year the shipment of walnut timber from this section becomes less and less, and if the species lives on through the coming years, plantings will have to be made each year.During he last decade a considerable acreage has been reforested to walnut in the National Ozark Forest, but little re foresting has been done by individ FRED A. ELSE Report of committee on the death of Bra. Fied A. Else. Wc, your committee, appointed to draft resolutions in memory of our icparted 3rother, Fred A.

Else, beg cave to report the following: Whereas, it has pleased the Grand Master of the Universe to remove from sacred fraternity, and transplant to the Celestial Lodge above, our" Leloved Brother. Fred A. Else, to which edict of 'Him who doeth all things well," we revently bow: And, Whereas, we. realize in the untimely taking away of our brother, the Masonic Fraternity has lost a substantial and trusted member, our county a citizen of sterling worth, our "ommunity and the church a great Counselor and a steady friend, his family a loving and devoted husband, whom we extend our heartfelt sympat hy. And whereas we, his fraternal as sociates and friends, desire to express our appreciation of his life and our grief at his decease.

Be it resolved: First: That in the death of Brother Fred A. Else, one bright star has een stricken from the escutchion of we fnnillv hope, to rrTinc supernal in the Eden of F.tern- ity. Second: That society has lost a most scful member and one whose life oi has been such that can checr- fullv and sincerely recommend it to the emulation of those who may be called upon to fill his place in the useful and laudible undertakings of life. Third: That his family has lost a loving husband and a devoted companion but, let us hope that the empress of his noble character may be a guiding star to the future usefulness of those who loved him most and that "though dead his spirit may linger with them and gu1 le their future lives." Fourth: Let us hope that his Masonic brothers, who are left behind, may be inspired by the same love and devotion to the good of our order, that characterized his life's work among us.

Like the freak egg serial now running in the Gazette, there appears to be no end to reports cf freakish pranks played by the recent storms in north Arkansas. Here is the latest, which is vouched for by W. II. Nelson, former postmaster at Mountain View, who was in Little Rock yesterday. A few days before the storm C.

S. Helton gave Otto Wall, postmaster at Herpel, Stone County, a check for $1, drawn on the Bank of Mountain View. Wall was postmaster and operates a store at Herpel. The storm demolished his store and the $1 check disappeared with other papers. A.

few days after the storm the cashier of the Bank of Mountain View received a letter from a man living at Gatesville, 200 miles north of Herpel, containing Wall's check and an explanation that it had been picked up near Gatesville. Tt is said that Gatesville is in a direction, almost opposite the course the storm was following when it struck Herpel. TORNADO RELIEF WORK Mountaia View Sector Will Be First to Recover. Tornado stricken families near Mounatin View, Stone County, will be the first in the April 10 storm area to return to normal living, it is said in a report from Harry Richmond, Red Cross worker. Mr.

Richard, Little Rock, business man, is a veteran Red Cross emer gency relief worker and immediately was ordered to the scene. He says that the twister, in customary fashion, released the air pressure from around the dwellings, causing walls to fall outward as if from the force of dy namite. The toll was six injured, nine houses.and eight barns destroyed, and seventeen families affected. No one was killed. Twelve of the familis required some form of permanent assistance from the Red Cross, in order to return to self-support.

This entaiWd in most cases furniture and clothing replacement, as well as payment of sawmill charges on lumber for new homes. The Mountain View district, Mr. Richmond says, is now like a frontier settlement. People coming into the village with loads of freshly cut railroad ties and other goods to be exchanged for groceries. Currency is rarely used.

Each affected family was visited and awarded relief approved by a committee of local citizens and the Red Cross. All supplies were purchased in the vicinity, so that relief money might circulate in the damaged area. Food will be issued at Red Cross expense to those who need it. Albert Evans, relief director at Newport, said that although Mountain View is small and isolated, and All state highways in Baxter I nun ty now under construction ami built will probably bp graveled before win rer sets in. worn I progressing on twelve and five, and it is probable that within the next 50 or i0 days construction work will start on 101 leading from twelve at some point near Henderson, via Gamaliel, to the Missouri line.

The Missouri State Highway Department has been clow in getting around to its purt of this road. On Thursday of last week, however, County Judge Kuthvcn, and State Highway Engineer Bidwell, met with State Highway Engineers of Missouri at Bakcrsficld, and a connecting point was tentatively agreed upon. The Missouri department will not do any work on their end for five or fix months. The State Highway repayment has just put a heavy outfit on number twelve, and as soon as this outfit cleans up the work on this road it will immediately be put to work on 101. Miles Proctor, who has the contract for graveling number five from Mountain Home to the Missouri lint has located a number of rnavel pits, and will start surfacing sonic time within the next week or ten days.

Cooke and Ransome, contractors of Ottawa, who have the contract for the bridge on five near the Ar thur Parks place, just south of Moun tain Home, arc already at work on the project. State Highway engineers have located a bridge site over the North Fork on number twelve, coming in about a hilf mile above the Smith Ferry. They have also made changes in number twelve on the other side of the river. Work of making these changes will begin at once. No date has been set to stmt work on the bridge.

As soon as the changes have been made on the road a contract will be let for graveling the rond from Mountain Home to the Fulton County line. Work on number five from about two mill's on this side of the North Fork river to the Izard County line, is about completed. Owing to the fart that there is some disagreement about the right of way through the town of Norfolk, no work has been done in the town. Until this is straightened out no work can be done in town or on the bridge. SHOCK CAUSES DEATH A.

TO IMPROVE HEALTH CONDI TIONS IN BAXTER COUNTY Health Officer Will VWt all Schools in Next 30 Day.

The following letter to Dr. Appleby from the Arkansas State Board of Health says: "An active effort is being made by this office to improve the public health organization in each county and we are absolutely dependent up on the County Health Officer to effee this improvement. would therefore like for you to read your Sanitary Code yery careful ly, familiarize yourself with the reg ulations and in so far as possible en force them uniformly throughout the county. 'The State Board of Health adopt ed a resolution some years ago urging the County Health Officer to make a careful inspection of all the schools in the county at least once an nually with a view to seeing that san itary toilets, proper water supply and other sanitary regulations were avail able. "The vaccination of all school child ren, including teachers and employees is required and we are very anxious that this be enforced.

There is a statutory law requiring all teachers to secure a certificate from a licensed physician indicating they are free from tuberculosis before they shall sign a contract to teach school. If you make visit to the schools I would suggest that you make an inspection of as many children as you can, par ticularly those who appear not to be healthy as to color, size, posture, and ascertain if possible the cause. "Eventually we are to have a public health oi yaniv.ation as permanently established as a government system is for public education. Also it is neces sary to know the sick rate and the causes of a given community before constructive, preventative measure? can be adequately and economically instituted. I therefore wish to urge you to secure the complete cooperation uf the physicians in your county in making their morbidity reports to you regularly.

Franked reports cards have been forwarded you and an additional supply will be forwarded on request. The physicians can make their reports to you on these cards without stamps and you in turn then will tabulate the totals on your weekly morbidity sheets and forward to this office in your franked envelopes each Saturday. "I have been assured by your able County Judge that bo will not only cooperate with you fully in this pro-jrt but is very anxious to improve health conditions in your county. 'if we could receive the hearty support of each County Judge it would contribute much to the extension of our program." In the next SO days Dr. Appleby plans to visit all the schools in the county and make a survey of them.

The Baxter County Fair catalog is in the hands of the printer and will be out next week. Lisle Shoemaker, president of the Fair Association has taken considerable pains with the book this year, and it will be full of interest for our fanners.

Encouraging word of community co-operatin continues to come from other tornado points. Greene County chapter, helped by Paragould Chamber of Commerce, raised its 1900 quota in five hours.

Twenty carpenters of the city have volunteered their services free to spend 10 days in Lorado, building homes and barns. Red Cross chapters throughout the state report a growing realization by Arkansas people, of the seriousness of the tornado relief situation, now complicated by extensive levee breaks, with others threatened. Many persons slow to give to their chapter's portion of the $100,000 fund, now are making liberal kontributins. Soon, workers believe, a considerable advance will be made toward the $50,000, or naif of the fund, iked of Arkahsa. The Peoples Store is receiving a new coat of paint this week, which adds much to the appearance of the building.

Hamp Jones is doing the work. A BIOLOGICAL CHEMIST'S OBJECT LESSONS Children love to watch experiments. So do grown people. A Christian woman in the Department of Biochemistry in one of the medical schoo's of New York City, who believes the Bible, ha3 worked out a series of fascinating chemical experiments that illustrate spiritual truth. They are now appearing in Sunday School Times.

Drawing on her own experience in children's work, the author has carefully given all the information that teachers need in using the experiments. In her "Chemical Notes," published with the lessons, she gives the commercial names of chemicals, tells how to use them, and where they may be gotten; and in describing each les-jon, she tells what chemicals are needed and gives the Gist of the Message. Pastors and Sunday-school workeis will welcome these object lessons, for they will hold the attention of restless children and at the same time drive home Bible truths. Those not now taking the Sunday School Times may nave several of these exceptional talks by sending for a ten weeks get acquainted subscription, 825 North Thirteenth Street, Philadelphia. Mrs.
