LET’S BOOST OUR
OWN COMMUNITY
New blood, new money brough
by new people, homeseekers anc
investors is what we need to de
velop Arkansas.
More people are necessary tc
enhance land values and bring
the greatest prosperity for the
greatest number.
The way to bring people here
is to let them know what we have.
What we have is so much better
than what most states have to
otter that when we let the peo
ple know what we have to otter
homeseekers and investors they
will come to Arkansas. Particu
larly is this true of this part of
Independence county, with its di
versified opportunities for indus
trious people of small means and
for the investor of large means.
What we need to do is to or
ganize and all pull together.
Wonders could be accomplished
by such a force in bringing home
seekers and investors to our
midst. Individual effort, along
this line can not accomplish much
when not backed up by hearty
co-operation and worse than all,
when harassed by knockers who
would crucify the best interests
of the country and wrong their
fellow man for the sake of pock
eting a few dollars themselves.
But, while the man who knocks
may and often does succeed in
spoiling his neighbor’s business
prospects, yet he seldom profits
by such acts, for the intelligent
buyer soon has him sized up cor
rectly and makes up his mind
that he does not want to cast his
lot in a place that is afflicted
with such parasites. So instead
of boosting the country to his
friends when he returns home,
he advises them to stay away.
The liquor forces of Arkansas
“got it in the neck” in the organi
zation of the Senate. With a
“dry” organization in the senate
and a “dry” majority in the
house, it does not look very much
like the Going law will be repeal
ed.
The movement for woman’s
1 suffrage was given a strong blow
by congress last Tuesday, wher
the house, by a vote of 204 to 17*;
I
refused to submit to the states
an amendment to the federal con
stitution to enfranchise women
■ Party lines were wiped out, 8(
Democrats, 72 Republicans, R
’ i Progressives and 3 Progressive
Republicans voted for the amend
ment, while 171 Democrats am:
33 Republicans voted against it,
I Every member of the Arkansas
delegation was present and votec
against the amendment.
One of the first bills introduced
in the senate is a bill for the es
tablishment of a uniform system
of bookkeping and accounting in
all state institutions and an ex
amination of books, accounts,
statements and settlements of
county and township officers, all
to be done by a board of three
examiners. This is a matter that
has been too long neglected.
Such a law is badly needed in
Arkansas, and if properly drawn
its passage will prove very ben
eficial to the State.
Periods of business depression
are always followed by periods
of unusual activity and prosperi
ty. In all the history of the
world, “hard times” have never
lasted very long. The man who
keeps his nerve and keeps dig
ging will be in better position to
reap his share of the prosperity
when the proper time comes.
The famous Dr. Wiley says
mince pie will not cause stomach
ache. But we have noticed that
failure to get a slice of political
pie has caused many a poor fel
low to have a bad case of belly
ache.
It was a hard and close fight,
but the “drys” organized the
present Arkansas senate in bet
ter shape than it has been since
the liquor question became an is
sue in Arkansas politics.
With wheat at $1.40, biscuits
will soon have to be classed as a
luxury for the man who must
pay for them with seven cent
cotton.

better than Calomel i.id does not
gripe or sicken. Price 25c.

NIGHT RIDERS FIRE
INTO NEGRO’S HOMI
More Than Fifty Shots Fired Inti
Bedroom of Bud Livingston
Near Moorefield
The home of Bud Livingston, i
\ negro, living near Moorefield, i
| few miles west of here, was fired
into Friday night by unknown
parties. It is reported that more
than fifty shots were fired into
the negro’s house and about the
premises, but the occupant escap
ed ininrv.
The negro had gone to bed, and
it is stated that he would prob
ably have been killed had it not
been for his presence of mind.
When the first shots came through
his bedroom window, he rolled
out of bed onto the floor and un
der his bed, where he succeeded in
prying up a plank and crawled
under the floor.
Livingston was arrested recent
ly charged with having attempted
to commit an assault upon a white
girl, but at the preliminary hear
ing the prisoner was exonerated.
It is believed that the shooting
Friday night resulted from the
belief of a few indignant persons
that Livingston is guilty of the
charge.
All telephone wires in the vicini
ty of the negro’s home were cut.
THE WISHBONE AND THE
BACKBONE
“Don't carry your wishbone
where your backbone ought to be.”
I saw this, says a writer in the
Sunday Companion, the other day
on a card in a shop window, a
piece of excellent advice which we
all need, is it not? How much
time we waste in wishing that
things were other than they are;
that our environment were dif
ferent from what it is; that we
were physically, or morally, or
spiritually stronger than we know
ourselves to be! Is it too much to
say that the two little words “I
wish,” express the normal atti
tude of mind of a large number
of people? I do not suggest that
the exercise of will power can
altogether change our environ
ment. or give us bodilv health:
but it might help to do both. It is
of no use to ourselves or to others
to spend our time and energy of
soul in wishing that we and the
world were better. It would be
of a very great deal of use were
we to exercise our will power in
the matter, if, instead of saying,
“I wish 1 was better,” “I wish the
world were better,” we were to
say, "I will be better and I will do
my part in making the world bet
ter.” If we, you and I, are to do
any good work in own souls, or in
the world, we must leave off say
ing, “I wish,” begin to say “I
will.”—Exchange.

A HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN
Timely Suggestions For Planning
Your Spring Vegetable Garden.
A farmer who intends to plant a
vegetable garden Ibis year should plan
his garden during the idle days of ;
v inter. A piece of ground rectangular j
in shape and containing from one- [
fourth to one-half acre is sufficient for
the largest family.
Plants that are to occupy the same |
ground for several years should be j
placed to one side of the garden so
that they can receive the attention I
necessary and not interfere with other ]
short season crops. The grape, rasp
berry, blackberry, gooseberry, straw- j
berry, currant, asparagus, rhubarb and ;
horseradish are of this type, and can j
be planted at this time of year
If early crops of eggplant, pepper i
and tomatoes are desired they should
be started in a hot bed about the first
of February, then by the time it would
be safe to sow the seed in the open
ground we can have plants large
enough to set out.
Plants like cabbage, cauliflower and
Brussels sprouts also are often started
in this way. By successive plantings
we can have an abundant supply of
any vegetable from early summer till
frost. The farmer should remember
that rotation in a garden is as im
portant as it is in the regular fanning
because of insects and fungous dis
eases.

THE CATTLE TICK MUST
BE ERADICATED
State Will Not Reach Full Measure ot
Prosperity Until the Cattle
Tick Is Gone.
The movrmrnt now under way in Ar
kansas will be a great factor In kelp
ing the state, step by step, to reach
the top pinacle of agriculture perfec
tion. "Let Arkansas Feed Herself."
What a proud motto for a great i
state! it should fill the mind with j
enthusiasm and the chest with panting!
pride. E.r'reme pride in one’s self is1
a grievous offense, but pride in what
your state is and what your country
is, is the the patriotism that binds
this homogenious American mass of
people into the irresistable force that
is moving ever onward, always up
| ward. “Let Arkansas Feed Herself ’
How your children will rever you for
having inaugurated that movement,
providing the principles are carried
out.
CATTLE TICK MUST GO.
1— Kills your cattle.
2— Reduces the price.
3 Prevents shipping to good
markets.
4— Prevents bringing in breed
ing stock.
5— Kills the cattle business.
6— You can’t afford to feed the
tick.
7— Has cost the South millions.
The Dipping Vat Will Do It.
Demand For Meat Growing.
One hundred million people of the
United States are demanding mon
beef, more steaks and roasts; mind
you, more meat; not more ticks. If
ere r*lsi»g *lcks you wti) he d? ■ j
appointed to find that there is no mar
ket for them; you cannot sell them I
anywh* re If y ,i insist on raising
ticks keep them home and suffer the
disgrace they will heap upon you.

Charles Johnson, P. O. Dot 10ft, Lav>~
ton's Station, N. Y., writes: "I sprained
mv ankle and dislocated my loft hip by
falling out of a third story window six
months ago. I went on crutches for four
months, then I started to use some of
your Liniment, according to your direc
tions, and I must say that it is helping
me wonderfully. I threw my crutches
away. Only used two bottles of your
Liniment and now I am walking quite
well with one cane. I never will be with
out Sloan’s Liniment.”

and at the same time send
your orders for job printing
out of town. Your home
printer can do your work jusrt
as good, and in nine cases out
of ten he can beat the city

much less for running ex

you’ll be better satisfied all
around, and you'll be keeping
