PEARL DIGGER BACK
AT WORK ON RIVER
High Prices Paid For Shells Makes
Work Profitable Even if No
Pearls are Found
Newport, Apr. .2—Milder weather,
with lower stages of the river, is
causing; many of the pearl diggers of
the White River to return to their
regular summer vocation of seeking
their fortunes in the sands of White
and Black rivers. Although the sup
ply of shells and especially the pearl
hearing variety, yearly grows scarcer
the higher price paid for shells and
the increased facilities for those mar
keted. on account of numerous flmal!
oat: plying the river trading with
the pearlers, the number of those
who follow this vocation remains
about the same from year to year.
The Newport pearl button factory,
which normally employs about 100
men, has many idle machines in the
plant now, and is offereing special
inducements to cutters to enter the
factory for the summer work. F.
Johnson, manager, says he wants a
sufficient number of men to operate
a day and night shift for cutting
blanks to be shipped to the finishing
plant in New York State. The factory
here has enough shells in warehouses
with which to operate its machines
many months during average pro
duction, but they will go into the
market for shells again this summer
as soon as they begin to move. From
$18 to $'J<) is paid for ‘mucket” shells
from which the buttons are cut. The
“sand” shells are not used for but
tons, being too thin, and are shipped
to Eastern plants, where they are
worked into novelties.

The Constitutional
Convention
The organic law of Arkansas is
to be changed. The consitution/of
of the state is to be amended, cer
tain provisions of it are to be mod
ified, other provisions are to be en
larged and the whole structure upon
which the government of Arkansas
is based is to be made more progres
sive, more in line with modern con
ditions and modern thought.
A constitutional convention has
been called to accomplish this change.
It is to be the people’s convention,
and the people’s representatives will
build up the new law.
It is not to be a convention for the
politicians, nor a convention for the
office-holders, no matter how honest,
no matter how intelligent such men
may be.
The powers of the legislature de
pend upon the constitution. The leg
islature cannot make enforceable any
of its bills, even by unanimous vote,
if such a bill is contrary to the provi
sions of the constitution.
The governor of the state cannot
go beyond the authority given him
• nder the constitution.
The judiciary of the State is also
co ItoIFt; 4jbeeeaffubswteonditionYa
amenable to the constitution, to the
same extent as the legislature and
the governor.
The constitution of a state is de
fined by one of the leading encyclo
pedias as “the oganic law * * *
prepared by direction of the people
and sanctioned by their votes; it de
tinoc thu mnt nn/l rvw»ov>c« <if if e
government in executive, legislative
and judicial forms; the rights, privi
leges and immunities of its citizens;
and the relation of the whole com
monwealth to the subordinate coun
ties, cities, townships, towns, etc.”
In other words the constitution of
the State affects every branch of
government in the State, it touches
intimately the very life of the com
monwealth.
An equitable constitution, carefully
drawn, with the rights of the people
—and the people only—at heart, will
bring many new industries into Ark
ansas and will also result in the
uilding up to even a greater success
of those industries already in exist
ence.
An unfair constitution—-drawn up
for the protection of special classes,
with inequitable privileges or unwise
restrictions, will stunt the growth of
industries now in the State and will
be a red flag of danger to warn other
industries to keep away.
All the foregoing considerations
make it imperative that every citizen
or the State regard the situation ser
iously, think over it earnestly and
then decide carefully what should be
done, with a healthy growth for the
state constantly in mind.
Then each voter should select and
vote for those men who, in their
opinion, have to the greatest extent
the interests of the people at heart;
who will consider the interests of the
whole State, and not the interests of
the professional politicians, would-be
office holders or those desiring spec
ial privileges.
The constitutional conention is not
a partisan affair, and the people
should look with distrust upon any
man who asks them to vote for dele
gate because of political considera
tions.
The constitution of a State repre
sents the ideals of the people. It is
the driving power of the common
wealth. If it is out of gear with the
modern conditions and the real dem
ocratic principles, the wheels of pro
gress of the State will stagnate and
stand still.—Arkansas Democrat.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back For An Old One.
How It Can Be Done in
Newark
The back aches at times with
a dull, indescribable feeling,
making you weary and restless
piercing pains shoot across the
region of the kidneys,and again
the loins are so lame that to
stoop is agony. No use to rub
or apply a plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause.Newark
residents would do well to pro
fit by the following example.
Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel
St., Newport, Ark., says: “I
had a constant ache inthesmall
of my back. Stooping or lifting
made me suffer intensely and
I felt languid and worn-out
most of the time. My kidneys
didn’t act as they should. A
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills
freed me of the ailments.”
Price 50c, at all ctsalers.

remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—thsame that Mrs. Por
ter had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
