THE FAITHFUL DOCTOR
A Brief Defense of One of the
Best Friends We Have
The doctor is a good fellow. His
living depends upon our getting
sick, yet he cheerfully tells us how
to keep well. We call him up at d
a. m., tell him the baby has the
colic,and if he does not do a tango
for our place immediately, we hold
it against him all our lives. After
he has worked with the little fel
low the rest of the night and part
of the day and has gone home and
pursued the even tenor of his way
for a couple of months and then
he happens to mention to us that
we owe him a couple or three dol
lars, we go up in the air and ask
him how in the dickens he expects
us to pay him before fall. In the
fall—some fall -we swap him a
runty calf or make him “take it
Ant in trnrl a ” FTn pnanz-lo <-*
life trying to find out what is the
matter with us and how to cure
us, and we know more in a minute
than he would in a thousand years,
and we tell him so—at least we
tell the neighbors so. If a patient
gets well we attribute it to his
constitution, if he fails to recover
we put a dent in the doctor’s re
putation. All of which the doctor
seems to consider only a part of
his business and serenly goes
about trying to keep us out of the
churchyard and himself out of the
poorhouse.
MEDIATOR SHOT IN ARM

TO INVOKE INITIATIVE
Farmers and Labor Interests
Want Bank Guaranty Law
A new campaign to invoke the
initiative in an effort to obtain a
bank guaranty law in Arkansas
has been started. The campaign
will be directed by the Executive
Committees of the State Farmers'
Union and the State Federation of
Labor.
The law sought is similar to that
incorporated in the twice defeated
bill of Representative R‘ S. War
nock of Magnolia and provides
that the banks of Arkansas must
guarantee the deposits obtained.
Fifteen thousand signers must
be obtained to invoke the initiative
privilege, but this number will be
procured easily, it is said by those
behind the movement.

perhaps the largest yield of pota
j toes from one hill that was ever
' grown in this section. The pota
toes were of the pumpkin yam
variety, one of the finest flavored
varieties grown in this part of the
country. Mr. Penny raised a fine
crop of potatoes this year and they
were all very fine.
