Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
The Wilson administration does
not cross streams before it comes
to them; but when it comes to
them it does cross them.
Nearly all of the warring coun
tries of Europe have endorsed
Secretary Bryan’s grape juice pol
icy by forbidding the drinking of
intoxicants in their armies.
In one day recently there was a
million dollars paid out of the Ar
kansas state treasury in Confeder
ate pensions and school funds. But
this does not happen every day.
Cattle should be substituted for
a portion of cotton. With a few
cow's and part of the cotton land
in feed and pasture crops the farm
would produce more revenue and
cotton would not be so hard to
market.—Farm and Ranch.
Stock raising, especially cattle
and hogs, offers greater induce
ments now than ever before, be
cause of the European war and
the scarcity of animals for meat.
Every farmer should at least raise
enough hogs for his own meat and
if possible a few to sell.
Staggering figures as to the cost
of crime in the United States are
contained in the estimates submit
ted recently by Prof. Chas. ('..
Bushnell, Washington, 1). C. He
puts the total at $(>,000,000,000 a
year, and other experts have pro
nounced this a relatively close ap
proximation. This total includes
all the money that is spent in ar
resting, trying, convicting, punish
ing and feeding criminals, and the I
losses they cause through theft,
incendiarism, etc.
Fortunately, we have at the
head of the government at this
critical time a man in whose calm-!
ness and judgment we have as
great a confidence as we have in
his patriotism. He will, we are
sure, make no mistake, nor will he
permit any to be made if he can
prevent it. The American people
must do everything in their pow
er to help the president. They
should be as neutral as their gov
ernment is, and as it must remain.

WET WEATHER DIRGE
The day is cold and dark and
dreary;
The sun, at best, is tiansi
tory.
One quite despairs of keeping
cheery,
The which reminds us of a
story.
There one time was a colored par
son
Who prayed for rain upon the cot
ton,
And greived the sun committing
arson
Upon whom God had quite for
gotten.
The week that followed was a
wonder—
It rained till humankind was
floating;
The very planet rocked with
thunder,
And many people took to boat
ing.
The parson in his rubber
waders
Made church upon the Sunday
after
And there, before a few crusad
ers,
His prayer shook the strongest
ratter.
“Deah Lawd,” he said, “we pray
ed fob rain,
An’ does not want to seem
metic’ulous;
But you knows very well
yo’se’f
'At fourteen inches is ridic’
lous!’’ —Post Dispatch.

DON’T TAKE THE
WRONG MEDICINE
If your liver sets lazy you need
a liver tonic, not merely a laxative
for the bowels. Many people take
a simple laxative when the liver
gets sluggish rather than take cal
omel, which they know to be dan
gerous. But a mere laxative will
not start a sluggish liver. What is
needed is a tonic that will liven up
the liver without forcing you to
stay at home and lose a day from
your work.
You have suck a tonic in Dod
son’s Liver Tone. Dodson’s Liver
Tone is all that is claimed for it,
because the druggist who sell it
agree to hand back the money
with a smile, to any person not
satisfied with the relief Dodson's
gives.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a vege
table liquid with a very pleasant
taste and is a prompt and reliable
remedy for constipation, bilious
ness, sour stomach and torpid liv
er.
The Newark Drug Co. gives it
their personal guarantee. Large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone is,
only 50 cents. For children or
grown people it is the ideal tnedi-;
cine. Try it on the guarantee
