Iron is needed by the blood to keep
txen and womea strongand headhy. Iron
is needed by the nerves to keep them
toned up. Ziron, the new iron tonic, will
put iron into vour blood and should help
renew yottr tajajt d nerve forces in the
way it has done it for many others.
Kead what Mr. j. R bell, Rt. 2, Oconee,
Ca., says about the effects of Ziron:
"I think Ziron is ail O. K. for the blood.
That was what I have been taking It for
my blood. I liked Ziron to well that I
went back te the store and got two more
bottles of it."
. Ziron is a combination of a pure medi-
Eisal inorganic iron salt, meniioned in the
J. S. Pharmacopeia, with the hvpophos
phites of lime and soda, and older valu
able tonic Ingredients, endorsed and re
commended by the best medical authori

National light Is construed her as
the forerunner of speech that will
be entirely bereft of Stat Issues by
early October. Republican discussion
of Stat Issues Is nauseating ra to
good Republicans. Then It la wanton
waste of energy besides.
So the appeal to local prejudices
and International lgorance of the
mountaineer Is to supplant the old
key note even though Republican
success In ten Congressional districts
ia North Carolina could not possibly
have anything to do with ratifying
or rejecting the great Versailles pact.
SQUATTKIM SK1ZE LAXD.
Army of a Hundred Take Charge of
Arkansas Acre.
An army of squarters. said to num
ber over a hundred encamped last
night upon the banks of Pemiscot
Bayou. In Mississippi county, Arkan
sas from Little river to the Missouri
state line, within area appropriated:
bv the settlers are two hundred acres
of the fertile land in the Arkansas j
delta, much of which ia In a high:
state of cultivation, relates Blithe-,
ville, Arkansas, dispatch of Friday.
The new arrivals lay claim to the J
land on the theory that when the;
government many years ago surveyed
the lands in this locality. Its agents
did not Include those lands when
inundated by the waters of Pemiscot
Bayou. Hence, when under the
"sunken land" grant the sun-eyed
lands were coveyed to the State of
Arkansas, they assert, title did not
pass to the disputed area. It Is
claimed this srea. though covered
with water at that time, since has
become firm soil owing to the reces
sion of the water to the present
narrow channel of the Bayou. Large
land owners are said to be aroused
by the movement which threatens
loss of valuable acres of their planta
tions. Many of the tents are pitched
on land adjoining the corporate lim
its of Blythevllle and the city presents
the appearance of a beleagured city.
Legal action over the action of the
squatters was forecast to-night. It
ia said the settlers acted under a
pre-arranged plan of formation or
a settlers" rights organisation.
Details Demanded.
"Here," bellowed the rubberneck
wagon ballyho. in his most thrilling
professional tones, "was fired the shot
hoard round the world."
But the young man from Boston
refused to be convinced. '
"But." he insisted, "Just how many
minutes did the sound of the traj
ory require to circumnavigate the
globe? I Just perfectly know my
memory is deteriorating."
