WHY HE ATTENDS
CHURCH
It is said that Hon. Claude Weav
er,one of Oklahoma’s congressmen,
attends church regularly in Wash
ington, or wherever he may hap
pen to be on Sunday, and he re
cites the following impressions
gained from this church-going
habit:
"It is sweet, on a summer’s morn,
when the air is aquiver with the
love songs of birds, and fragrant
with the odor of roses blown, to
hear the music of the church-go
ing bells, an invitation to the world
wearied to enter God’s Temple and
find peace, because the instinct of
worship is in the heart of man,and
the church is the temple of the
living God.
I go to church because I find
peace there, that peace which De
Quincy described as a resting from
human labors, a Sabbath of repose
a respite granted from the secret
burdens of the heart, as if I stood
at a distance and aloof from the
uproar of life, as if the tumult and
fever of strife were suspended, as
if there brooded over me a dove
like and halcyon calm.
“I go to church because I love
the music that I hear there, the
the mighty roll of the great organ
mingled with the marvelous sym
phonies of that divine stringed in
strument, the human voice, un
twisting all the chains that tie the
hidden soul of harmony.
I go to church because I delight
to hear the teachings of the preach
er, whose soul is dedicated to God,
whose field is as wide as God’s un
verse, whose theme is the destiny
of man, and whose words are or-1
acles of faith. Marvelous is the
spell of preacher, to whom God
has given genius and consecration,
and the power of illustration drawn
from the old, sacred, immortal
book, and from the miracles of na
ture, no less revealed in the crim
son-tipped flower turned up by
the plowshare oT Robert Burns up
on the soil of Ayr, than in the long
reaches of the star-girt skies.
"I go to church because “the
way is dark and I am far from
home,” and the church is the pol
ar star to light my pathway in
the rayless night.”
The state department of educa
tion reports that the average
length of school term in Arkansas
for the year ending June 30, was
127 days. This is an increase of
ten days over the preceeding year,
and is the greatest gain in the his
tory of the state. Arkansas is mak
ing rapid progress along all lines,
and it is gratifying to know that
the schools are keeping pace with
all other interests in the march of
progress. _
There are now more than 1500
students enrolled in the four agri
cultural schools in Arkansas. These
schools are doing a good work for
the farmers, and if the Farmers
Union never did another thing, it
is entitled to the lasting gratitude
of every farmer for having started
the agitation and kept up the
fight for the establishment of these
schools until they were secured.
The Walnut Ridge Times nomi
nates Editor Coger of the Sharp
County Record for membership in
the Uown-and-Out Club. Coger
has a provoking habit of getting
i on the wrong side of a lot of things
but he is far from being eligible
i for membership in the Down-and
Outs.

Make the farm sustain more ani
mals by raising larger crops. Larg
er crops and more animals to con
sume them will give you a better
chance to keep up the fertility of
your farm. The average crop
scarcely pays expenses; a larger
crop may afford a small profit, and
a bumper crop may give you a
chance to improve your home and
enjoy life.—Farm and Ranch.
Is Independence county going
to be represented with an exhibit
at the State Fair at Hot Springs?
She certainly has the products to
exhibit and a fine showing could
be made if our people would take
the matter up in a systematic
manner and get them together.
Secretary Bryan has finished his
lecture engagements, for the sum
mer, but says he will continue to
lecture whenever he gets ready.
We rather had a faint idea he
would do that.
The State Federation of Labor
proposes to initiate a child labor
law for Arkansas, and will begin
circulating petitions throughout
the state within the next two or
three weeks.
Every man is a part of his town
or his community, and he should
play his part so well that neither
the town or the community will
be willing to part with him.
There are some old geysers,who,
if compelled to quit spitting on
the sidewalks, will have to carry a
lard stand along w’ith them to
spit in. _
Responsibilities gravitate to the
persons who can shoulder them,
and powers flow to the man who
knows how.—Elbert Hubbard.
RESOLUTION OF RESPECT
The entrance of death inlto a
lodge room is not heralded by a
knock at its outer portals. The
Grim Reaper goes unchallenged by
the watchful tyler; the emblematic
lambskin has no place in hishabil
aments; the Worshipful Master is
given no word or sign of his affili
ations, yet the invasion is none the
less sure, and at his hand must we
all meet on a common level for the
consigment to the grave, but with
a promise that we shall be raised
to a full fellowship in the supreme
lodge of our Infinite Master if our
conduct here has been circumscrib
ed by the compass of his teachings
and our actions squared by His
own example in the flesh.
Our lodge has again been enter
ed by the Angel of Death, and its
doors have closed forever on all
that was mortal of our beloved
brother, E.J.Magness, who depart
ed this life September 16. There
fore be it
Resolved, That in the death of
Brother Magness, Newark Lodge
No. 248, F. & A. M., loses one of
its most beloved members, the
community at large an upright
and honorable man of the very
highest type of citizenship. Be it
Resolved, That we extend to
his family in their sad bereave
ment our deepest sympathy and
love. Be it further
Resolved, That in respect to his
memory, a memorial page be set
apart in the records of the lodge
and these resolutions spread there
on, a copy of same furnished the
family and one to the papers for
publication.

DOING ONE’S BEST
"I do the very best I know how;
the very best I can; and I mean to
keep doing so until the end. If the
! end brings me out all right, what
is said against me won’t amount
to anything. If the end brings me
out wrong; ten angels swearing I
was right would make no ~ differ1
ence.”—Abraham Lincoln.

PRACTICALLY STOPPED
! For Bilious Attacks, Constipation
and all Liver Troubles. Dan
gerous Calomel to Give
Way to D odson’s
Liver Tone
Every druggist in the state has
noticed a great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is taking its place.
“Calomel is often dangerous and
| people know it, while Dodson’s
I Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
! gives better results,” says the New
! ark Drug Co.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by the Newark
Drug Co. who sell it. A large bot
i tie costs 50 cents, and if it fails to
'■ give easy relief in every case of
sluggishness, youiiave only to ask
for your money back. It will be
promptly returned.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas
ant tasting, purely vegetable rem
' edy— harmless to both children
and adults. A bottle in the house
may save you a day’s work or keep
vour children from missing school.
Keep your liver working and your
liver will not keep you from work
