It is a poor sort of vision that
fe^cs everything in the worst light.
When a man has done a smart
thing he wants others to know it—
its human nature.
Knowing where to stop is usual
ly of as much importance as know
ing where to begin.
Has the war been worth the
cost? So far, according to the
careful figures of the statisticians,
Europe has squandered 27 billions
in money and incapacitated and
killed 15 millions of men. Whole
provinces have been devastated.)
priceless architectural relics of the !
ages have been razed and whole
people notably the Armenians have
been practically wiped out. Bel
gium, Servia and Poland, prostrate)
at the f set of the conqueror, are
despoiled, decimated, starved.

Who would have thought the tin
can is a menace to the public
health? The expert malaria in
vestigators of the United States
Public Health service have found
however that discarded tin cans
containing rain water are breeding
places for the mosquito which is
the sole agent in spreading mala-g
ria. A hole in the bottom of the
empty can might have resulted in
the saving of a human life. Cer
tainly it would haye assisted in j
Dreventing a debilitating illness.
Empty tin cans have no business
about the premises anyway, but if
we must so decorate our back
yards, let's see to it that the can
has a hole in the bottom.

Candidate for
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
Southern District
You will be called upon March 29th to select a man to fill the cf
fice of Railroad Commissioner, at the expiration of the present incum
bent's term.
I am not seeking the support on sympathy I need the office, but !
went to win on my qualifications to fill the place I seek. Inexperience
and lack of qualifications invariably bring dissatisfaction, so in casting
your vote f ■ . man who is qualified to discharge the duties of the office
you avoid 3. With fifteen years experience in figuring rates and tar
iffs. I feel t at 1 am qualified to fill the office.
1 hive lived in South Arkansas all my life, and this is the fi’st time
I have asked the voters of our state to honor rns with a public office.
If I am so honored 1 will try and conduct the office in a way that the
voters of the district w,l! never have cause to regret casting their vote
for me.
If I am your comm'ssioner I will ever strive to further the interest
of the people, and 1 promise to be commissioner for all the people
and not for any special interest or individual.
Upon these principals 1 respectfully submit my candidacv and eravc
an earnest consideration of you as a thinking man. and one who has the
interest of his country at heart, and 1 will cheerfully abide the results.
It is a matter of much personal pleasure to the News
editor to recommend Hon. Earle W. Hodges, candidate for
governor. He has known Mr. Hodges intimately for about
twelve years, their friendship and acquaintance dating back
a number of years before he was in any way interested in
politics, a^d when the fact that both were newspa
per men as their only tie. We have seen him advancing
steadily in the esteem of his associates and friends, and we
have never seen a single charge against him that has not
very plainly borne the earmarks of personal or political jeal
ousy. There has not been and cannot be the slightest re
flection upon his personal character, and his bitterest ene
mies cannot place a finger upon a single act and say “There
is an illegal or dishonest thing.” They can, of course, deal
is hints and inuendos; no man is proof against that kind of a
campaign, but we believe our people will take such political
chaff at its real value and give it not the slightest considera
tion.

quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service* because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finish and beauty of its furniture.
