The Democratic Ticket
Deserves Your Support
Bitter personal attacks are
being made upon some of the
Democratic nominees of Inde
pendence county in an effort
to defeat them in the Novem
ber election.
The voters of Independence
county should not be misled
by these attacks upon the per
sonal character of the Dem
ocratic nominees. The parties
who are making these attacks
and circulating these false re
ports, know they are not true.
They are being made solely tor
the purpose of misleading the
people and disorganizing the
Democratic party in Indepen
dence county.
The ticket put forth by the
Democratic party in this coun
ty was chosen at a primary'
which w'as probably the most
representative primary ever
held in the county. Virtually
every Democrat in the county
participated in the primary,
and the nominees chosen are
among the county’s best and
most progressive citizens.
Some of the present nomi
nees have heretofore served
the people in other official ca
pacities, and not a single one
of them was ever knwon to be
tray the confidence of the peo
ple.
i ney are iuiiy capable oi
filling the positions for which
they have been nominated.
While some of the candidates
who are opposing the Demo
cratic nominees are good citi
zens, they possess no qualifi
cations or virtues superior to
those of the Democratic nomi
nees. The Democratic nominees
measure up in every respect as
regards honesty, integrity, cap
ability, patriotism, sobriety
and good citizenship, with any
of the candidates who are op
posing them.
The entire county ticket is
one that any good citizen can
honestly and conscientiously
support. There is nothing to be
gained by voting against any
man on the ticket, and every
Democrat especially should
give the entire ticket his en
thusiastic support. And this is
true not only of the county but
of the state and national ticket
so it behooves every Democrat
ic voter to go to the polls him
self and see that his Democrat
ic neighbors go to the polls on
the 7th of November and help
roll up a big majority for the
entire Democratic ticket.
Act No. 2 Means Saloor
Government for Ark.
The advocates of Act No. 2
are making the false plea tha1
its adoption will not open a
single saloon in Arkansas.
Why are the liquor men and
the brewers putting their mon
ey into the fight for the bill it
its adoption will not open a
I single saloon in Arkansas?
Would the brewers, distillers
and wholesale liquor dealers in
St. Louis, Milwaukee, Louis
ville, and other cities outside of
Arkansas send their money in
to this state to aid in the fight
for Act No. 2 if they thought
its adoption would not open
saloons in Arkansas?
Not much.
They know if Act No. 2 is
adopted, Arkansas will be the
“wettest” state In the Union,
because Act No. 2 reverses the
order of things and makes the
sale of liquor lawful, with not
a single restriction to protect
any community against the
sale of liquor.
Act No. 2, if adopted, will
make Arkansas wide open
without a single anti-liquor law
to protect our homes, our
churches and our boys from
the curse of liquor.
Its advocates are trying to
fool the people into voting for
the bill by the false claim that
it is local self-government, and
that it gives the people the
right to rule.
There is not a single prin
ciple of local self-government
embodied in Act No. 2. On the
contrary, it takes all the rights
of self-government away from
the people and bestow's them
upon the saloon.
Instead of being: local self
government, Act No. 2 is sa
loon government.
Are the people of Arkansas
ready to surrender all their
rights to the saloon and turn
the state over to saloon gov
ernment?
That is exactly what they
will do if they adopt Act No. 2.
The man who will circulate
a false and damaging report
against a political opponent is
not big enough or broad
enough to be a safe man in
public office. The man who
seeks to gain political prefer
ment through this means, and
upon the alleged demerits of
public office. The man who
his opponents is not a safe man
to trust. Vote for the Demo
cratic nominees and register
your protest against the mud
slinger.
The Arkansas News contin
ues to claim that Act No. 2 is
local self-government. Some
newspapers have a conscience
made of rubber.
At At At A< At it
It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.t In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.

Each and every man on the
Democratic ticket is a good,
clean, honest and honorable
citizen, well worthy of the
support of all Democrats anci
all other citizens who are in
terested in good government.
Turn out on the 7th of Novem

ticket and help make the ma
jority as large as possible.
Do not be deceived by the
false reports that may be cir
culated against any of the
Democratic nominees. They are
honorable men who are worthy
of your support. Go to the polls
on the 7th of November and
help them win.
Seventeen cent cotton is a

every farmer to go out and
vote for Woodrow Wilson and

on the 7th of November.

IT IS’NT YOUR
TOWN—IT’S YOL
If you want to live in the kinc
of a town
Like the kind of a town you
like,
You needn’t slip your clothei
in a grip
And start on a long, long hike
You’ll only find what,you lef 1
behind,
For there’s nothing that’s real
ly new;
It’s a knock at yourself wher
you knock your town:
It isn’t your town—it’s YOU,
Real towns are not made by
men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and no
body shirks,
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And if, while you make your
personal stake
Your neighbor can make one
too,
Your town will be what you
want to see;
It isn’t your town—It’s YOU.

COUNTYAGENT INCREASES
FARMERS BANK ACCOUNTS
Since Hempstead County
has had an agricultural agent
the savings accounts of the lo
cal banks have increased more
than 100 per cent; however,
this is only one of the reasons
why I believe in the county ag
ricultural agent and what he
means to our people, said Chas.
R. Foster, cashier of the Hemp
stead County Bank, in a recent
interview. Through the county
demonstration work by which
the farmer is being shown the
value of rotation, diversified
farming means to Arkansasour
people have but to remember
that the bank deposits of the
state increased thirty millions
of dollars between April, 1915,
and April, 1916, when the last
report was made. Merchants
and bankers must urge the far
mers to continue to follow a
safe and sane farm practice re
gardless of the price of cotton.
Business men everywhere
should consider the county
agent’s salary an investment,
giving returns which cannot be
estimated.
By good fellowship and as
sistance these county agents
have developed that spirit of
community cooperation which
has done more for the state
than anything else in recent
years. The effects have been
seen in every campaign put on
by the Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas and
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture and fostered by the bank
ers and business men. It means
a great deal in the fight against
hog cholera, the cattle tick and
in the effort to improve our
livestock. Through it better
marketing facilities are being
worked out and the life of the
people in many of our rural
communities has been revolu
tionized.

THE IMMEDIATE SALE
Is Not All That Good
ADVERTISING
ACCOMPLISHES
> ; --_ _ . _,___
It an individual is to cultivate his personal friend
ships he must keep in touch with his friends. As l)r.
, Johnson puts it, we must keep our friendships in const
ant repair.”
] It is so with a merchant. Through his advertising
he is enabled to keep in communication with his store’s
1 patrons and friends. He gives them the new facts about
his offerings. Sometimes he tells them of special op
[ port unities he has created through which they may
1 save money in needed purchases. These advertisements
of “special sales” may usually be relied upon to stimu
late business—to make quick turnovers of stocks which
• have accumulated.
Hut the store’s advertising does more-than to ac
complish clearances, or to speed up sales of particular
lines of goods. It repairs and cements store-friend
ships. The slightly “peeved” customer, who may be
holding a mild grievance, is won back through the in
fluence of advertising which makes the store’s policies
understood. 1 he man or the woman who may have de
cided that, for some reason unknown to the merchant,
they will transfer their trading to some other store, be
comes interested in a special offering made in the ad
vertisements of the innocent offender, and comes back
to the first allegiance.
Advertising affords the means of holding waver
ing friendships. And that is a task facing every mer
chant and more important than the immediate sale.
