ENCOURAGE FARM
AGENTS SAYS PAGE
Thinks Their Work in Arkansas
lias Proven of (ireat Value
To the Farmers
The Farm Demonstration Agents
are doing a great work in this
si ate. and it is barely possible that
they are not fully appreciated by
the farmers or the business ele
ment. If I can do anything to in
crease the interest of the farmers
in the work of these agents, I
think I should do so, for there is
no doubt that the result of their
work is going to be felt in the
next few years.
Many of the farmers have hesi
tated to adopt the methods of the
agents, and many more have re
fused outright to follow their
teaching, and still others have dis
agreed with them about the meth
ods they suggested or employed in
cultivating the ordinary crops.
Hut the fact remains that their
presence and activity has stimulat
ed a greater interest in Arkansas,
and whether or not their ideas be
accepeted and methods adopted or
their teaching be followed, their
presence among the people has
made the farmers think more and
talk more, and incidentally learn
more of the different methods
of farming in general, and the
growing of cotton and corn in
particular.
The farmers should remember
that the agents are sent out to
help them, and they should give
them encouragement and co-oper
ate with them. The agents are
trying to demonstrate the methods
of the government not their meth
ods—and the government is al
ways ready to abandon a method
when they find a better one.
When a farmer knows of any im
proved method of cultivation in
the growing of any crop he should
tell the agent at once, that the
method may reach the Depart
ment and be tried out and if a
good one, be given to other farm
ers. We must remember among
other things that the south is
raising the biggest part of the
'! worlds supply of cotton, one of
* the greatest of agricultural staples
and that for the most part the cot
ton crop is made in practically the
same way it was made sixty years
ago. During that time great
strides have been made in the
methods of cultivating every other
5 crop, but cotton is still grown by
t pirmitive methods.
Let us consult the demonstra
tion agent and then in addition, do
: some independent thinking and
; acting upon our own part, and see
if the result will not be beneficial
» all around. Help the agent. If he
is not as good a one as you think
: he should be, let us try to help
him be a better one. By helping
him we help ourselves. When you
• meet the agent be free to ask
questions and make suggestions.
This done in the proper spririt will
not be misunderstood, but will be
appreciated. J. H. Page,
Commissioner.
DON’T LET YOUR
LIVER GET LAZY
Dodson’s Liver Tone Will Keep it
Working and Make You Feel
Well and Clean —No bad
After - Effects
If you have allowed your fear
of calomel to keep you from ton
ing up your liver when it gets a
little sluggish and lazy—try Dod
son’s Liver Tone, and note how
quickly and harmlessly it starts
the liver and relieves constipation
and bilious attacks.
When you take Dodson’s Liver
’ i Tone, you do not have to stay in
the house all day. None of the
weakening and harmful after-ef
fects of calomel follow its use.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a mild,
i pleasant vegetable liquid that can
j not hurt either children or grown
people. Yet it easily overcomes
the most stubborn and inactive
liver without making you quit eat
ing or working.
These are not just claims. The
? Newark Drug Co. backs up ev
ery one of these statements and
agree to refund the price of Dod
son’s Liver Tone with a smile to
any person who pays his 50 cents
for a bottle and isn’t satisfied that
i he got his money’s worth.
Imitations of Dodson’s Liver
Tone are another proof that is a
good thing. Nobody ever imitates
a poor remedy. Be sure you get
the geuine Dodson’s Liver Tone -
the kind that is guaranteed.(Adv)

VAIN HOPES
Who’s to Maine for hard times,
Wilson Bryan or you and me?
The j>eople all fell in line
Is it Congress or Democrasee?
No free sugar for four years!
Does this fool you and me,
Or the people far and near?
This seems impossible, Democrasee!
Tariff for revenue only, you see,
Was argued both far and near,
By Wilson Bryan and Democrasee,
To take place in one year.
Wool and sugar was to be free,
And other things so dear;
Were these promised by Democrasee
In less time than one year.
Does it come to our ears,
From Wall street or Luzeanee
That wool sugar Tariff Devil
Must not be killed by Democrasee.

“The LIFE of a wagon is what counts
— that’s why / buy a Studebaker99
“That’s reasonable, isn’t it ?”
"A-wagon that doesn’t last is expensive no matter
what price you pay for it.
“Suppose you buy three wagons, one after the
other, and the three of them don’t last as long as one
Studebaker—which is the best bargain?’’
*‘I didn’t find this out myself. I heard my grandfather say it
a good many years ago. He said he had proved that it paid to^buy
a Studebaker. i followed his advice to my own satisfaction."
‘‘A wagon can’t have life in it unless it has the material and
work and finish in it. The Studebaker people have been making
vehicles for sixty years. They ought to know how to make wagons
right—and they do. They have the reputation because they’ve
produced the goods. They don t put the name Studebaker on
until the wagon s right, and when you see the name Studebaker
on a vehicle of any kind it is your insurance of quality.’’
"That's why I buy a Studebaker. 1 trust a Studebaker wagon
because I trust the people that make them. It s good business. t
"A Studebaker promise is always made good.
