see if he could find them. The
next day after the paper came
out a lady brought the lost
bundle in to The Journal of
fice. The ad cost him a quar

in the Journal he might not
have found the package, the

nearly ten dollars. It pays to
advertise in The Journal.

OLD ORGANIZATION
WINS POPULAR FAVOR
W. F. Spruill and R. G.
Thomas, representing the Jef
ferson Standard Life Insuran
ce Company are spending the
week here in the interest of
their company which is one of
the strongest old line compan
ies doing business in the South.
Mr. Spruill is from the home
office and will spend several
days here assisting Mr. Thom
as in presenting the merits of
this spelndid company to our
people.
They came here from Tuck
erman where they did a re
markable business, having writ
ten more than a half million
dollars in insurance in that
community during the past
few months. Since the first
policies were written at Tuck
erman, the death losses there
have been very heavy, owing
to the large number of deaths
from influenza, and the com
pany has paid its claims so
promptly in each and every
instance that the people of
Tuckerman declare the Jeffer
son Standard is the best com
pany in the world.
They write a very broad and
liberal policy and their rates
are very conservative, which
accounts for the popularity of
the Jefferson Standard in ev
ery community where it has
ever done business.

ASK LEGISLATURE
TO PRROTECT SHEEP
(Continued from front page)
operation of sheep and goat
ranches. Data on the sheep
and goats and the dogs in the
state was asked for. That part
of the inquiry was made by
County Food Administrators.
Their final reports are in. A
conservative are careful etsi
mate shows that there are 177,
000 more dogs in the state j
than there are sheep and goatsj
combined.
The campaign State Food
Administrator Wliliams was
making soon attracted atten
tion. Among the first to en
dorse it was the newspapers
of the state. They not only
printed the information sent
out from headquarters but they
also, in many, many instances,
gave it their fullest editorial
endorsement.
Then the Arkansas State
Council of Defense passed a
resolution urging a tax on dogs
and the protection of sheep
and goats. This was along the
line the State Food Adminis
tration was working.
Agents of the Extension Di
vision of the United States De
partment of Agriculture are
working for the sheep and goat
industry to a man. Finally
the bankers of the state got in
line and today the campaign
for protective legislation for
sfieep and goats is in full
swing. Robert E. Wait, Sec
retary of the Arkansas Bank
ers’ Association says sentiment
was never so crystaliezd for
such legislation as at present.
