Good, printed stationery is
an asset to any business and
reflects to a certain degree the
integrity and progressiveness
of the business firm or indi
vidual. There are some busi
ness houses in Newark so
“CHEAP” that they use a low
grade of stationery with a sign
in box car letters that is fur
nished them gratis by some
flour concern. Letters written
on such “junk” as this do not
create a very favorable impres
sion upon the recipent, and the
business man who uses it
brands himself as a “CHEAP
SCATE” in the eyes of the
public and the business world.
It is said the country is in
greater need of an increase in
the number of hogs on farms
than any other animals. As
hogs increase faster than other
farm animals and are good
feeders pork raising is the
quickest way to supply the
country with meat. Hogs can 1
be raised on most farms by 1
making a little preparation for i
pasture and grain. Let every i
farmer who feels that it is
possible raise at least enough
pigs to supply his own family
with pork and bacon.
Although cotton ginnings for
the state as a whole, compared
with the corresponding period
for 1916, showed a decrease,
several counties reported in
creases in the amount of cot
ton ginned up to January 9.
The 1917 crop ginned up to
that date amounted to 858,
692 bales as compared with a
total of 1,080,569 for the pre
vious year. However, the val
ue of the 1917 cotton crop was
consideraly more than the crop
for 1916.

Despite the war. politics will
not down. In addition to the
“big noise” in congress, state
and county ploitics are being
talked. Gov. Brough will be
a candidate for re-election and
Judge L. C. Smith of Arkansas
county announced some time
ago that he would be a candi
date- But about a month ago
Judge Smith married a new
wife and left for New Orleans
on a honey-moon—and that’s
the last that has been heard of
Smith.
The patriotism of the Union
Miners of Arkansas was shown
during the recent zero weath
er. Despite hardships the
mmers exerted every effort to
produce the maximum output
of the mines, and the mines
were operated to full capacity
each Sunday since the blizzard
set in. Those men deserve a
little special credit for their
efforts in behalf of the public.
Of course there are lots of
men who are good for their
debts, but allow us to suggest
that the man who is best for
his debts is the man that pays
promptly. It is quite within
the range of possibility that a
man may be good for his debts
and still be slower than a gov
ernment mule about paying
them. Perhaps you have no
ticed that.—Sharp County
Record.
Secretary of War Baker, may
not have passed through as
many wars (politically) as Sen
ator Chamberlain or Mr.Roose
velt, but with 500,000 troops in
France and a million and a half
more men ready to go, we be
lieve that he is handling his
part of the present world war
like a man.
It is announced that former
Congressman S. Brundidge of
Searcy will be a candidate for
U. S. Senator to succeed Sen
ator Joe T. Robinson. Mr.
Brundidge is an able man but
he has reached the “has-been”
stage in Arkansas politics and
his chances of going to the
senate are rather slim.
.Germany is reported to be
eating dogs. This country
could spare her a few million,
and they ought to be extra
toothsome, too, as they have
been practically brought up on
mutton.
Germany says President Wil
son is slandering that country.
He would have to acquire some
yet unknown language before
he could do that. The English
language is woefully inade
quate for the task.
Think more of the things you
already have, and less of the
things that you would like to
have but can’t get, and you
will be happier.
Of course everybody is going
;o lay in a big supply of fuel
sefore another winter. But
hat does not create much heat
•ight now.
To the man who saves, nick
els, look as large as quarters,
while to the man who is a
spendthrift quarters look as
small as nickels.
More good livestock in this
section would mean greatei
prosperity for the farmers.

CATTLEMEN MEET IN
CAPITAL NEXT WEEK
Plans Completed for Stock
Growers Meeting in Little
Rock Feb 5—8 i
All arrangements for the
convention of the Arkansas
Swine and Stock Grower’s As-,
sociation to be held in Little
Rock February 5, and the Sou
thern Cattleman's Association
to be held February 6, 7, 8,
have been completed.
The convention of the Ark
ansas association will hold only
one session, in order that the
members may remain in the
city for the Southern Cattle
men’s association. The meet
ings of both organizations will
to be held in te Auditorium of
the Hotel Marion.
Auction sales of blooded live
stock will feature both the
State and Southern Cattlemen’s
Convention.
me auction saies win ue
conducted by Col- Carey Jones
of Chicago and Col. H. L. Igle
heart of Elizabethtown, Kv. |
The cattle and swine to be auc
tioned have been inspected by
Dr. R. M. Gow', secretary of
the Southern Cattlemen’s As- i
sociation, who states that with-!
out exception they appear to
coma from the best blooded
breeding families in the coun
try.
The stock show and auction
sales will be held in Liberty
Hall, corner second and Spring
streets.
A great deal of importance
is attached to the auction fea
ture of the meetings, for the
reason that Arkansas has been
asked by theUnited States food
administration to increase her
hog production 20 per cent. It
is pointed out that this may be
reached in two ways: one, by
increasing the number of hogs
and second, by increasing the
quality, thereby adding materi
ally to the weight when plac
ed on the market.
In line with the request of
the food administrator, Dr- W.
M. Bruce, secretary of the
Swine Breeders Association has
selected some choice animals to
be offered at the auctoin sales.'
It is the present intention to
sell only 120 hogs at auction,
but arrangements have been
made for the private sale of!
500 additional.

Granny’s Talk to Young Mothers
"Grassy” CkambcrUia “Few young mothers realize the extent to
which a cold lowers the system and makes it susceptible to con
tagious diseases. It has been proven that the majority of diseases
arise from germs, but it is not widely known that a healthy sys
tem will repel their attacks.
Mothers should never allow a cold to run for twenty-four
hours without attention. If this is made a rule there will be less
sickness for young mothers to worry over. A good reliable med
icine for coughs, colds, croup and bronchitis should always be
kept in the home where there are children. You may say that
you have no confidence in cough medicines, but that is because
you have never tried
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
This medicine is thoroughly reliable and has stood the test of
nearly half a century. No, it will not hurt the children—there is
nothing in it that would even injure the baby.”
2,000 persons will probobly at
tend the convention and that
all arrangements have been
made to care for them. He is
expecting this to be the biggest
meeting ever held in the State
of its kind, and is confident
hat much good from the stand
point of conservation will re
sult.

1,997 AT HOSPITAL
The report fo the State Hos
pital for Nervous Diseases
shows that there were 1,997 in
mates of the institution, which
is about 50 less than a year
ago. The enumeration follows:
White males, 845; balck males,
175; white females, 766; black
females, 211. The institution
now has a population almost
double what it had a few years
ago, when there was a lack of
room and accomodations and
many insane persons were kept
in the county jails.
u SCHOOL NOTES
I
Holman Brown who has
been out of school for several
jdays has returned.
Oh how the wind blew and
the sleet fell. Attendance has
been rather short for the past
two weeks.
A puzzle that we have so j
far been unable to solve, is the
mystery of our stove smoking.
If you can advise a remedy tell
us. (Clean out your flue.) The
old saying “Can’t see you for
the smoke” has virtually be
come true.
Do not take the elevator to ;
success. The stairway is a j
surer way.
Miss Emma Dee Randle will i
be here tonight. Miss Randle !
has been here before and is a
good entertainer.
CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, ntalriny
you sick and you lose
a day's work.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harm
less vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten
you up better and quicker than ns.sty
calomel and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It’s harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it. __
