OPPORTUNITY
They do me wrong who say I
come no more
When once I knock and fail to
find you in;
For every day I stand outside
your door,
And bid you wake, and rise to
fight and win.
Wail not for precious chances
passed away,
Weep not for golden ages on
the wane!
Each night 1 burn the records
of the day:
At sunrise every soul is born
again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors
that have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and
deaf and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead
past with its dead,
But never bind a moment yet
to come.
Tho deep in mire, wring not
your hands and weep,
I lend my arm to all who say
“I can!”
No shamefaced outcast ever
sank so deep
But yet might rise and be a
man again!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth
all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retri
bution’s blow?
Then turn from blotted archiv
es of the past
JAnd find the future’s pages
white as snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee
from thy spell;
Art thou a sinner? Sin may
be forgiven;
(Each morning gives thee wings
to flee from hell.
Each night a star to guide thy
feet to heaven.
WANT REPEAL OF
PROHIBITION LAW
Little llock, Aug.23.—It was
announced today that the op-1
ponents of the statewide pro
hibition act passed by the last
Legislature will decide during
the next two or three weeks'
whether or not they will initi
ate the repeal of the measure
at the next general election.
It is the general belief among;
the leaders that efforts will be
made to repeal the law. Under
the act it will be unlawful -to
sell or give away any kinds of
malts or spiritous liquors in the
state after Jan. 1, 1910. If the
repeal is submited the state will
necessarily be dry for nearly
one year, as the submitted bill
could not be voted on until
November, 1916, which would
be more than 10 months from
the date that the prohibition
bill would become effective.
-o
TAKE CARE OF THE ROAD
A matter of importance that
should not be overlooked is tick
ing care of the roads through
the bottoms until they have
time to dry and harden a little
after the water gets off of
them. This precaution should
especially be observed with
reference to the road between
Newark and Paroquet. This
road had been graded and put
in splendid shape by Overseer
J. W. Sisk just before the rise'
in the river. It lias been cover
ed with water for several days
having been built up and grad
ed with no time for the ground
to pack and harden before
the water covered it, people
should avoid traveling this t
road as much as possible until;
it has time to dry and become j
settled.

GROUND LIMESTONE IS
VALUABLE FERTILIZER
Ground limestone is helpful
to nearly all farm lands now
in cultivation in the State.
Where the soil is hard and com
pact, lime will loosen; where
it is loose and sandy, lime will
tend to tighten or firm it.Lime
is necesary for all sour soils.lt
is necessary to grow alfalfa
successfully and is highly bene
ficial in growing allcrops.From
three to five tons to the acre
should be used. Do not make
the mjgtake of putting only a
ton to the acre to make it go
further. P^jt enough on a small
patch rather than not enough
on a whole field. When you
put on 4 or 5 tons per acre you
will not need more for 4 or 5
years. Any of the ordinary
soils in Arkansas when well
drained and free from hard
pan, or underlying rock orslate
near the surface,and limed and
well manured, will grow al
falfa, and good alfalfa land is
worth $100 an acre. The fall
is the time t» lime your
soil. Get ready and try it out
this fall. JOHN H. PAGE,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

REAL GREATNESS
| Christ has given us a meas
ure of greatness which elimina
tes conflicts. When hisdisciples
| disputed among themselves as
to which should be greatest
in the kingdom of heaven. He
rebuked them and said, “Let
him who would be chiefest
among you be the servant of
all.” Service is the measure of
greatness; it always has been
true, it is true today, and it al
ways will be true, that he is
j greatest who does tin* most
i.of good. And yet. what a re
volution it will work in this old
I world when this standard be
comes the standard of every
t life. Nearly all of our contro
versies and combats arise from
the fact that we are trying to
I get something from each other,
j Our enmities and animosities
arise from our efforts to get as
much as possible out of the
world—there will be peace
when our endeavor is to put as
'much as possible intotheworld.
|Society will have taken an im
| measurable step toward peace
j when it estimates a citizen by
|his output rather than by his
income and gives the crown
of its approval to the one who
makes the largest contribu
tion to the welfare of all.—

The wise man speaks softly.
The fool makes a big noise.
Even at best, an excuse is
never anything but an excuse.
Many a coy* damsel looks
beautiful until she takes a
scrub.
Yesterday the horse, today
the automobile, and tomorrow
the air.
If wishes were automobiles
everybody would want an air

i A good deed is like the dol-!
lar spent at home. It often re
turns to you.
Often the man who follows
his own inclinations never has
far to go.
Here’s the only thing some
people dont already know:—
-Fact!
Wealth does not always
bring happiness, but it gives a
powerful big shove.
Get out and hustle. Oppor
tunity never comes to the fel
lows who wait for it.
About every family has its
skeleton, and some of them
are mighty fat and sassy.
Be generous with your com

one yourself some day.
They say love is blind, and
hanged if we don’t believe it
when we look at some people.

Sallowness
is a yellow discoloration of the skin caused bv bilious
impurities in the blood. The trouble starts in the
liver, which is torpid, and a torpid liver brings on
diseases which may put you on your back for a sick
spell if not corrected. The sensible course for sallow
people is to get the liver back to its work as quickly
as possible. The right remedy for that purpose is
HERBINE
A Cleansing, Strengthening Medicine
tor a Torpid Liver
Herbine is composed of fine medicinal herbs which
are known for their beneficial effect on the Liver
Stomach and Bowels. They are more powerful and
searching than an ordinary laxative syrup, and more
asting in their effect. It puts life into a torpid liver
strengthens the stomach, helps digestion, sweetens
the breath, clears the complexion of sallowness, and
restores the clear ruddy hue of health. Try it for
sallowness or any disorder in the stomach or bowels
It does the work.
