rock deposits of North Arkansas,

from examination they promise
to lie of considerable extent and
richness. They will, therefore,
be valuable to the state as a

phosphate, an important plant
food that is extensively used as a
fertilizer for increasing the yield
of crops. A few years ago rock

DON’T MURDER TIME

' People Should be Careful of How

A young man a day or so ago
was seen to approach a crowd of
young men loafing in front of one
of the stores on Jefferson street,
to whom he made the remark : !
“What are you doing?” “Oh, just i
killing time,” answered one of
them. This is a very common ex
pression and a very forcible one.
Put its meaning is something
fearful. It is the young man
who, generally speaking docs the
killing of time ; for in advanced
age it is all too late to make
amends ; lime ttiat has been kill
ed can never be resurrected.
“Killing time” literally expresses
a fact, and when so killed is as
dead to all intents and purposes
as though it had been a living
body.
• Napoleon Bonaparte once said
that he won his battles because
his enemies did not know the val

of hooks and the simplification of

a day of diligeuce and application

To My Friends.
It is with joy 1 tell you what
Kodol did forme. I was troubled
with my stomach for several

I
i
months. Upon being advised to
use Kodol, I did so, and words
cannot tell the good it has done
me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so
that he had tried most every
thing. I told him to use Kodol.
Words ot gratitude have come to
me from him because 1 recom
mended it.—Goo. \V. Fry, Viola,
Iowa. Health and strength, of
mind and body, depends on the
stomach, and normal activity of
the digestive organs. Kodol, the
great reconstructive tonic, cures
all stomach and bowel troubles,
indigestion, dyspepsia. Kodol di
gests any good food you eat.
Take a dose after meals. J, I.

THEY MUST COM BLN E
Farmers Should Quit “Paddling
Their Own Canoe” and
Form a Combine.
“Paddle your own canoe,” was
ouce an admonition of independ
ence more desirable than thrift.
But canoes are out of date and
larger crafts cover the waters.
To “paddle your own canoe,” iu
these days means that you will
never “get there”—in a financial
sense. Why this change, do you
ask ( Reasons are as thick as dew
berries und as plain as the ears on
a donkey. One sufficient rea9ou
is that there are two great parties
iu the country that may be termed
shearers on the one hand and
lambs on the other. The shearers
are out for the wool, are thorough
ly organized, armed and equipped
for the campaign. The lambs are
unorganized—each one “paddling
his own canoe,”as it were. They
must surrender their wool to the
organized and disciplined army of
shearers. They are fortunate if
they escape without being “skin
ned. ” To succeed they must be
come shearers and join the union.

Wlmt chance has a farmer in com
petition with interests organized to

ization, with organization, and
combined effort, with combined ef
fort# The theory of individual ef
fort and individual independence
is attractive, but out of date.
Farmers, fruit growers truck
farmers and men engaged in every
branch of rural industry must
cease trying to paddle their owu
canoes. They must board a large
craft—a line-of-battle ship, for in
stance, have their officers and
weapons of offense and defense,
obey orders and learn how to
handle their arms effectively. To
be plain about it and leave meta
phor aside, farmers must organize,
act intelligently and in concert, or
they will lose their legitimate pro
fits. Many havu done so already,
any many more will do so before
they learn that the man who pad
dles his own canoe, can make no
headwuy against the current.—
