BELIEVES IN ARKANSAS !
F ormer Citizen is Coming Back
From California
“This is the Old Man’s Para
dise,” writes a 70 year old Ark
ansas man who is now in Cali
fornia. “and I am coming back
where all the folks like to
hustle. 1 never saw so many
bent and crippled old men in
my life. They look healthy,
but the sight of so many of
them is depressing to me. 1
am going back where the folks
are busy making money to come
out here and spend their old
age. The climate out here is
all that it is cracked up to be,
but I haven’t seen a day that
1 enjoyed as much as 1 did
before leaving h om e.
The trip is more than worth
while, and every Arkansan
should take it. It shows them
what is accomplished by adver
tising a state, and brings them
to the realization that Arkan
sas is not a second rate state
when compared with Califor
nia. We have possibilities even
greater than California, and
it our people will take hold
and improve all sections like
they have out here, California
will have nothing to boast over
us, unless it is the Pacific
ocean, and our many fine
streams will compensate us for
the loss of that great body of
water.

ON A HIGH PLANE
Judge Expects To Make a
Clean Campaign.
To my friends in the Third
Judicial Circuit:
As a candidate for re-elec
tion to the office of circuit
judge, I am convinced that no
political issue can or should
enter into a contest beween as.
pirants for this office for the
administration of its affairs are
primarily non-political. 1 be
lieve that ability, experience
economy, and honesty should
be the main qualifications of
a circuit judge.
The high and honorable po
sition forbids, eevn if I were in
clined to do so, engaging in
“mudslinging,” petty personal:.
ties or “peanut politics.”
In my personal, professional,
and fraternal association with
my opponent, 1 have found him
to lie a friend and a gentleman,
and 1 hope and expect to es
teem him and, at all times
treat him as such.
If anything derogatory to
him, either of a personal, offi
cial, or professional nature be
said or arises between now
and the primary election, it
will not come from me, and I
want to call upon my good
friends who are interested in
my behalf all over the district,
to make this contest on our
1 art, a high-toned, gentleman
ly, and honorable campaign,
in keeping with the dignity and
honor of the high office for
which we arc aspirants, and I
have every reason to believe
that my honorable opponent
will do the same.
1 want to assure the people
of the Third Circuit of my ap
preciation of their confidence
and esteem in the past, and 1
hope to win the present race
simply upon MY OWN MERIT
if you believe I have made
good, and not otherwise.
Yours very truly
DENE II. COLEMAN.

MARRY ON FLAT CAR
Here la A New Wrinkle in
Weddings
You are familiar with church
weddings, home weddings and
weddings in other places not so
conventional, hut did you ever
see a wedding take place on
a flat car of a speeding freight
train?
The irate father of the bride
was pursuing the elopers on
a big engine under a full head
of steam and was just about
to overtake them when a happy
thought and a couple of big oil
cans saved the day for the
eloping lovers.
1 his is one of the features
of a corking good story of rail
road life with Jack McGowan
and Dorothy Wood, as told in
“Reckless Chances,” an As
sociated Exhibitors picture to
shown at the Royal June 9.
WHAT CHA SAY
1 he less they wear the more it
costs;
I he more it costs the less they
wear;
And we don’t know what the
answer is.
Rut its got to stop somewhere.
LIFE IN THREE WORDS
“Stop, look, listen! ”
The reflective man stopped
to read the railroad warning.
“Those three words illus
trate the whole scheme of life,”
said he.
“How?”
“You see a prett\ girl; you
stop; you look; after you mar
ry her you listen.”
DESPERADOES CAUGHT
Young Farmer Causes Arrest
of Two Following Holdups r
At Newport ?
t
Obey Boyce, young farmer
living near Batesvlile, claims
to have been the victim of a
holdup near the Missouri Pa
cl'ic station at Newport late
Thursday afternoon, when he
was robbed of money and a
gold watch. As a result Boyce
caused the arrest of two young
white men who gave their
names as Thompson and Mar
tin, and said that Little Rock
was their home.
The two were armed and are
in jail at batesville. Boyce
told officials that he was walk
ing down the track, near the
depot at Newport intending to
go to Paroquet, when he met
the two men, who pointed guns
at him. While one controlled
the gun the other relieved him
of $14 and a gold watch, then
fled.
Friday morning Boyce said
he boarded the early morning
train at Newport for his home
at Batesville, and at Paroquet
the two men, whom he reeog
niezd, got on the train also.
Boyce got off the train at Sul
phur Rock and telephoned
Batesville officials to be on
their guard at the water tank
on the outskirts of the city and
arrest the two.
City marshal Houston of that
city was there, but unarmed,
and in attempting to arrest
Thompson and Martin ea-h
pulled a revolver and threaten,
ed to shoot. Conductor Will
Jones came to the aid of the
( fficer with a pistol, when the
desperadoes were disarmed and
placed under arrest.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS BES
The man who knows best,
does best. The more you know
about the thing you are doing,
the better you like the job.
Work enjoyed is not drudgery,
no matter how hard the task.
Mr. Farmer, do you thorough
ly enjoy your work? Do you
know the whys and wherefores
your daily operations? Are
you sure that you are follow
ing the most profitable prac
tices?
Consider, for instanec, the
cultivation of your crop. In the
first place, can you satisfac
torily answer the question why
)ou prepared a seed bed? Do
\ou know what made the seeds
sprout and push their heads
up to the light of day? Does
your soil crust on top and if so,
do you know why it “bakes?”
Do you understand soil mois
ture and its action upon plant
growth? Do you know of the
necessity of air in your soil?
Do you know the feeding habits
oi the plants you are growing,
and do you know the habits ol
the weeds in your field and
why they are injurious to the
crops? Do you know all these
and a thousand and one other
things that enter into the culti
vation of your crops?
The more of these things you
know, the better job of culti
vation you will do, and the
'more enjoyment you will de
rive from the work, even
though you are compelled for
finiancial reasons to use a
double shovel or a buzzard
sweep.
Have a heart-to-heart confi
dential talk with yourself and
if you do not know all these
things, resolve to find them
out. Ask your county Agricul
tural agent; he knows, and
will be mighty glad to tell you.
If you crave greater riches,
remember that the man who
uses his brain most, usually en
joys the most comforts.
