ficials of the incorporated town of Hut
tig:

The vast difference between our
needs and our wants constitutes
the most of our hardships.
In the meantime, the country
should not forget that its moral
and intellectual resources are and
have always been its principal as
sets. _
If the people all over the state
are as disgusted with the actions
of Gov. Hays regarding his pro
miscious pardoning of prisoners as
they are in this county he does not
stand very high in the estimation
of the citizenship of Arkansas. His
pardoning of the negro Green from
this county wh? was sentenced to
21 years in the penitentiary two
weeks after his conviction was the
last straw with the people here
who done everything in their pow
er to elect him. His discriminate
use of the pardoning power
should make easy the passage
of a law creating a pardoning board
by the next legislature as advo
cated by Dr. Brough in his cam
paign for the nomination and we
hope such a law will be placed on
the statute books. If our laws are
t<5 be upheld the decrees of the
courts must be carried out and
when a governor persists in un
doing the work of our courts and
juries there is but one outcome and
that is a disregard for law and
order.
Most anyone can see a mountain
but it requires some one of keen
p irception to detect a mole hill—
which accounts for the few people
that have been capable of great
things. Most of the great discov
eries of the world have resulted
from the attentive observation of
things that are small. To be
scrupulous about little things may
be thought indicative of a narrow
mind and a petty spirit, yet from
the careful attention to little things
mm have made their greatest ac
hievements. Little things accu
mulate to determine destiny. Lit
tle things, little courtesies, little
kindness, genial smiles, the en
couraging word, the friendly letter
these little things are indicative
of character.
TWO BOYS.
It is very sad, of course, the let
ter the country boy wrote telling
what he did after school.
The boy’s account of his after
noon work begins with gathering
eggs and carrying in stove wood,
runs along a list of labors that
would exhaust two men and a team
and ends with “then I went to
bed.”
That country boy's after school
tasks consumed long and weary
hours, but every stroke was clean,
useful, man-building labor and
more joyful than joyless, too.
Far more sorrowful would be the
letter of a city boy narrating his
doings between school and bed.
With too many boys a truthful-let
ter would be a record of misem
ployed hours filled with mischiefs
and meanness, without one stroke
of useful, body-building or charac
ters 3 vel >ping work or exercise.

Seventy-six out of eighty-seven
cases of typhoid fever which oc
curred in a recent outbreak have
been traced by the United States
Public Health Service to infected
milk. Had the first cases been re
ported to a trained health officer

stamped out promptly. When will
we learn that disease prevention is
sure and cheap?
A conscientious young Sunday
school tearher had been telling her
class of little boys about the crowns
of glory and the rewards in heaven

ment of deep silence, and then
a little voice piped out: "Him
what’s got the biggest head.”

True Economy
means the wise spending of one’s money—making every dollar do full duty
and getting in return an article that will satisfy you in every way.
The
. WHITE. .
is a real bargain because it u sold at a popular
price; because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in; because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service; because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can't be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finish and beauty of its furniture.
In short you will find the White reliable and
desirable from every point of view.
Be sure to see the White dealer who will be glad to show you how good a
machine the White is. If there is no White dealer handy, write us direct for cat
alogs. We do not sell to catalog houses. Vibrator and Rotary Shuttle Machines.
