Digging Their
Own Graves
It is u sad spectacle to see a
nation of people disintegrating
and wasting away through
sheer inability for self govern
ment.
Yet that it just the condi
tion that prevails in Mexico,
and will continue until the
United States assumes the bur
den, stamps out anarchy and
brigandage, and places the re
public upon a substantial work
ing basis.
Kindness and loaves ofbread
will not avail, for the Mexicans
themselves have clearly demon
strated their utter incapacity
for self government and their
entire indifference to the high
er tenets of humanity.
Intervention is not a pleas
ant thought, yet each day
seems to incline us to the be
lief that it will ultimately be
come the court of last resort.
When a human being is
drowning, the natural impulse
of the heart leads others to
plunge in and snatch the vic
tim from the relentlessembrace
of the waves.
And today a sister nation is
sinking at our doors.
Mexico totters upon the
brink of its open grave, and
only the strong staying hand
of the United States can save
it from its self inflicted fate.
And that, it would seem, can
be accomplished only through
armed intervention and the es
tablishment of a stable form of
government.
Just what is the American
duty in the premises?
In his row with the employes
of the Hospital for Nervous
Diseases, we don't know
whether Governor Hays is
playing polities or not. If he is,
he is doing more than other
governor’s have done and will
do when they get the chance.
It is so fashionable to cuss a
governor these days that peo
ple actually engage in the busi
ness for past time, and ninety
nine out of a hundred who cuss 1
him the most vehemently don’t
know what they are cussin’
about. The greatest trouble
with Gov. Hays as we see it, is
that he is not toadying to a lot
of people who undertook to use
him but fell down on the job.
One of his recent great sins,
acording to the Arkansas Ga
zette is his designation of the
Arkansas Democrat as the pa
per in which applications for
pardons must be published.—
Stephens News.
If we want the right kind of
lasting prosperity in this coun
try we must get a lot of people
away from the centers of popu
lation and onto the farms,
where opportunity awaitsthem.
This business of rushing off to
the great cities and depopulat
ing the farms is doing more to
retard prosperity than all oth
er causes combined. Any man
of common sense and a reason
able degree of energy can make
a mighty fine living on the
farm and be reasonably inde
pendent while so doing, while
fully one-half of the popula
tion today is underfed because
they are stagnating in cities
where there are ten applicants
for every job. Strikes, lockouts
and other labor wars do not
greatly affect the man on the
farm, for crops grow on just
the same and appetites do not
decrease. The real greatness of
this country will come when
the land is more fully under
cultivation and worked to bet
ter advantage on scientific lines.
The National Liquor Dealers
Association which maintains an
expensive publicity department
for the purpose of fighting
prohibition, gleefully announ
ces in flowing headlines in an
article sent out this week that
“The nation drinks more whis
key as the result of prohibi
tion!” Then what’s the matter
with the fool liquor dealers
that they keep knocking on
their best friends? The liquor
dealers are in business to sell
booze, and the more they sell
the more money they make. If
what they say is true, why
don’t the Simps quit knocking
on prohibition. They ought to
join the prohi’s and help boost
business.
Did you notice any howl
from the Gazette about any ir
regularity in the publication of
the delinquent tax list in Pul
aski county? You didn’t? Nei
ther did we. It was published
in the Gazette.
Life is real when we can look
back across the passing years
and know that we have made
some progress in the develop
ment of character.

disagreeable he usually achiev

We, the local public, are
proud of our country and of its
achievements in the fields of
agriculture and commerce. We
are free of speech in sounding
its praises and in predicting its
greater successes of the future.
But why confine our thoughts
and actions to country? Why
not think first—and hardest—
of our own community? Why
not give our best thought and
our most persistent efforts to
the improving of local condi
tions and to a greater and more
profitable development of ad
jacent farm lands? We honor
the man who reveres and de
fends his country, but we give
equal admiration and respect
to the one who thinks of home
as well as of country.
That all property be assessed
on a basis not lower than 50
per cent of its actual value, isJ
being- urged by the State Tax
Commission in letters the com
mission is sending out to all tax
assessors of the state. The let
ters urge that special attention
be given to assesing property
which was under-assessed last
year. The state’s revenue suf
fered a considerable decrease
last year because of the ten
dency to lower assessments in
many counties of the state.
Take care of the small things
on the farm and the large ones
will take care of themselves,
bet nothing that is produced go
to waste if it is possible to use
it at all. He fair with farm
and conserve its natural re
sources and the crops it pro
duces. This will be necessary
for those who are to occupy the
farm after you.—Farm and
Itanch.

BANKERS REALIZE THE
VALUE OF PIG CLUBS
Encouragement of This Work
Not Only Helps Boys But In
creases Banks Deposits
The bankers in many states
are realizing the value of pig
club work as a means of mate
rially improving rural condi
tions, according to club agents
of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Not a few
of the bankers have made it
possible for worthy club mem
bers to secure pigs on their
personal notes. In this way a
well-bred pig is secured and
the members can pay for it
from the proceeds of the pig as
meat animal or from the sale
of offspring in the case of a
breeding animal. The member
enters into a business agree
ment (with the parents con
sent) with the banker, and is
in this way relieved of the stig
ma of charity which is the re
sult when a pig is given out
right. This arrangement is a
practical means of teaching
business methods to the rural
young people. It is also a char
acter building process for it is
but natural for a boy, when
treated as a man, to act in a
manly manner.
This apparent generosity on
the part of the bankers is in
many cases business acumen. A
case in point is that of a Tex
as bank. The president of the
bank placed 326 pigs among
pig club members of his coun
ty. As a result of the acquain
taince made in securing and
placing these pigs, many new
patrons were secured. These
patrons brought in over $75,
000 in individual deposits.
Needless to say, but it is also a
means that will increase with
time in its beneficial influence.
One of the Texas papers states
that the banker "has laid the
foundation for a prosperity
which will be lasting. The boys
that he has helped to get
started in the hog business are
now on their feet financially,
and before many years they
will be making big shipments
of hogs to market each year.

HERBINE
It Is a Pure, Wholesome
System Cleanser and Regulator
The trouble is mainly in the liver, it is torpid. A
torpid liver allows impurities to accumulate in
the system which hamper every organ in the
body. The result is biliousness, low spirits, bad
digestion, a tired languid feeling, the head feels
dizzy, the appetite poor and the bowels irregular
—generally constipated. Herbine clears out all
bilious impurities, revives and strengthens the
torpid liver, tones the stomach and digestion and
restores regularity in the bowels. After the
system has been relieved of the impurities there
is an immediate improvement. Appetite returns,
the spirits rise, the mind clears of gloomy dis
couragement and everything looks bright and
cheerful. Try it.
