EXTRA SESSION OF
LAW MAKERS ENDS
EFFORTS TO EXTEND SESSION
FAIL AND LEGISLATURE AD
JOURNED YESTERDAY.
Little Rock, July 30.—After a pro
longed debate over the senate reso
lution to extend the legislative sess
ion until Saturday to take up remedi
cal road legislation and consider a
means of raising revenues to main
tain a national guard, the lower house
voted to adjourn sine die at 4 p. m,
today.
Some of the arguments advanced
against any extension were that if
the bars were lowered for one reason
it would pave the way for further ex
tensions, and the session called es
pecially to perform a specific act
would be drawn out over a long peri
od, and that it would entail a heavy
expense upon the state. Also that
most of the representatives had plan
ned for only a short absence from
their homes and business.

Miracles in Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girders painstakingly placed
together —a vast quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.
Men who have really suc
ceeded spell it SA-V-E. You
can win the same success.
You do not need a lot of
money to do It. You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
nation to start now and con
tinue. Let us help you.

GRATE FIRE TEACHES LESSON
Pictures In the Flames Bound to Im
press Observer of Any Keen
ness of Mind.
Th« wood Qre Ln the open grate. The
hour of a wintry evening. Who
ods not bevel In the combination? The
pictures in the flames. The muslngs
as the fire crackles, the only sound in
the stillness.
Ancients In Persia, ia other lands
and times, worshiped fire. It was the
symbol of purity, purification. Poets
have found the fire on the hearth an
inspiration. Painters have seen pic
tures ln the glowing coals. We see
them, too. In the silence of the evening
time.
But the wood are in the open grate
is more than a symbol of purity, more
than a creature comfort, more than a
sign of personal prosperity, more than
a setting for dream pictures. It’s a
symbol of action. It's a picture of
ambition. It's an incitement to en
deavor.
The flames are never still while
there’s material to reach. Reaching,
reachlug, grasping, keeping, never con
tent, never Idle. Action I That’s what
the wood flro ln the open grute is say
ing.
The flames leap higher and higher
so long as there is fuel to feed them.
When the fuel Is consumed the flames
wither and die.
Ambition must be fed. That's the
lesson of the Are. You can’t get the
flro of ambition to burn in tho work
er’s brain to energize his hand unless
It is fed, and fed again. Take away
Incentive, make labor ineffective, and
the laborer’s ambition dies. And what
Is a man without ambition? An ax
without an edge.—Milwaukee Journal.

ONE OF THE BEST MOWING MACHINES ON THE MARKET
It has an extra heavy frame, with large wheels.
Is roller bearing and is very light running.
Has two speeds, slow and fast, and the gears are
all enclosed in a dust proof box and run in oil like
the gears on an automobile.
Come in let us show you some of the many advan
tages this mower has over others, and after we
have showed it to you and you do not think it is
the best mower made, we do not ask you to buy.
Come in next time you are in town or write for
