Over 5000 Druggists
Are recommending VINOL
as the best cod liver prepara-
ton they ever sold.
That's because Vinol con-
tains all the medicinal ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but the
useless oil has been elimi-
mated and tonic iron added.
That's why Vinol restores
health and creates strength
for delicate children, feeble
old people, weak and sickly
persons and convalescents.
Money back if it fails.

FRANK STANFORD
 LOSES RIGHT ARM

Frank Stanford, popular young man employed by Colonel Gus Water man at his Dumas store for ten years, lost his right arm Tuesday while at work in a gin owned by MT. Water man.

He is unable to tell how the accident occurred, it was done so quickly. His right arm was caught in the machinery and crushed. Every thing was done for the unfortunate young man and he is reported to be doing nicely.

Crockett's motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Irving Reinberger, who held the proxy of c. P. Gould of Victoria township.
 w. B. Sorrells, who made a speech at the Jefferson county court house in this city several weeks ago, advo- eating a fair, wide open, unlegalized primary, held the proxy of A. Kauf- man of Bolivar township. When the resolution was presented by MT. Crockett, Sorrells arose and offered as substitute resolution the one which had been prepared by him sev- eral days previous and in which he ad- vocated a "wide open, unlegalized" primary, with the selection of judges left to a ten year old boy or girl, who was to draw the names of judges

How the Sorrells Resolution
 Was Defeated Yesterday in the Exciting Session of
 Central Committeeman.
VOTE ON SALARIES
Judge Jones and w. E. SOrrells Made Determined Fight For Wide Open Primary-Crockett's Resolution Judge Gould Heard.

The so-called Court House Ring,'' with the exception of one or two of the former members of that circular body" who have withdrawn from the mutual, political organization and are bucking them with others, tri- umphed again yesterday when the Democratic central committee of Jef- ferson county flatly refused to adopt a resolution for wide open, unle- galized primary" which was prepared and presented by former Prosecuting Attorney w. B. Sorrells of this city. the father of the "open primary move- ment" in this section of the State
 Notwithstanding a pitiful appeal, which was made to the committee by Sorrells in a speech of nearly an hours length, the committee voted down his resolution by vote of 17 to S. Following this decision repeated efforts were made by Sorrells and oth CTS to secure the adoption of com promising substitutes to another res olution, which was finally adopted by the committee, and in which are many clauses from the legaliZed election
 SNs of Arkansas. The resolution, Vprovides for an open election, but not one so freely open as advocated by Sorrells and others and is confined to the qualified voters of the county.
 When the Fun Began.
 The central committee convened at Il o'clock yesterday morning in the county court room. Chairman Joe P. g Alexander presided aud Secretary F. VII. Walker was at his desk. After the roll call the committee adjourned till 1 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour it reconvened and the fun began.
 Upon being recognized J. D. Crock cit of Bogy township offered reso- lution, which was published in full in yesterdays Graphic and which is as follows:
 The Crockett Resolutions.
 Resolved, That a primary election be held on the End day of January, 1908, in all the, wards and townships in Jefferson county, Arkansas, for the purpose of selecting Democratic nom- inees for district, county and town ship officers to be voted for at the general election held in September, 1908.

Board of Trad Q.

The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was small one this week owing to the absence of several of the directors from town.
 The railroad committee jubilant- ly called the attention of the board to the fact that the gang of men for the removal of the Morley avenue track had actually arrived on the ground prepared to go ahead with the work of removal. In this connection it may be said that the railroads intentions were good, but the trouble with wrecks on the Benson line has compelled the withdrawal Of the section men to repair the damaged tracks, and the work of removal of the spur track on Morley avenue has con sequently been delayed.
 The resignation of Mir. Geo. w. Grove as delegate representing the Board of Trade at the Mining Congress was received, Mir. Grove stating that it would be impossible for him to attend. MT. T. A. Cox of Patagonia, was chosen to take the place of Mir. Grove, MT. Cox having signifed his willingness to attend the Mining Congress and represent the people of Santa Cruz county in conjunction with his colleague, Mir. Marshall P. Wright. As this congress of mining men is the most important one of the year, and as Santa Cruz county is fast coming to the fore as an important mining center in the Southwest, it is very fortunate that the board should be able to secure two such

 A request of the foreman of one of the fire department companies that the fire boys be allowed the use of the board rooms for their business meeting on Wednesday evening was met by a cordial invi- tation for the fire men to use the board rooms for such purposes, and brought out an expression of good will on the part of the direc. tors toward this important munich pal organization.

How many great navies are there In
the world and what is their relative
rank?
According to Secretary Of the Navy
Metcalfe there are only eight great
navies on the globe. They are, in the
order OF their relative strength, Eng
land, France, the United States. Ger
many, Japan, Russia, Italy and Aus
tria. He adds.
England ranks SO far above all the
other nations that it really stands in
a class by itself, having built on jan
uary l, 1907 and ready for active SER
vice, Sc battleships, 80 armored cruis-
ers, 101 cruisers, 147 torpedo boat de-
stroyers, 81 torpedo boats and 20 sub
marines. 1t has under construction s
battleships, 10 armored cruisers 2S
destroyers, and 10 submarines. Eng
land has no continuing shipbuildmg
policy, but usually lays down each
year four armored ships, with pro-
portional number Of smaller vessels.
Japan has made rapid strides in its
naval strength within the last two
years. It's quota consists Of IL battle
ships, 8 arrnored cruisers, 22 cruisers,
54 destroyers, rs torpedo boats, sub
marines and 3 coast defense vessels.
It has under construction batteships,
arnOreu cruisers anu ! CiulScI, Dut
no smaller vessels.
.The United States navy does not
stand third in the matter of relative
Importance, however, when the ques-
ton OF commissioned and enlisted per-
sonnel Is considered. 1t stands fifth,
being ranked in order by England,
France, Germany and Japan. For in
sance, where Japan has forty-nine Of
ficers Of flag rank--that is, rear admi-
rails vice admirals and adfnirals-the
United States navy has only eighteen.
This difference in strength Of per-
sonnel is carried out through all the
grades, and naval officers Of this coun-
try are frank to admit that this is the
one weak spot in the United States
navy. Japan. with a smaller number Of
vessels has many more officers and
5000 more enlisted men. But ! guess
when ii comes down to putting shot
in the right place our navy holds the
worlds record"

Tight money and not legislation has
caused the embarrassment of railroad
finances, thinks George E. Roberts,
director of the mint; and prosperity,
not legislation, Is the cause of the
tightness of money. Manufactures
have proceeded SO actively as to absorb
extra capital. The heavy movement of
commodities at the same time over
loads the railroads, creating demand
from them for more money to enlarge
facilities and pay more wages. This
process has gone on until choked
down by its own weight. There must
be- q pause, therefore, giving time for
a readjustment and perhaps a slight
.clleapening of labor and commodities,
after which the temporarily abandoned
Improvement projects will be con-
tinued The principal doubt with re-
gard te this view will have to do with
the duration of the breathing spell
predicted.

Before the insurance storm began
the three big New York companies
were writing more than three-quarters
Of a billion dollars In new business
every year, while the twenty-eight
companies outside Of the .'big three"
were writing little more than half
a billion. In 1906, in consequence of the
disclosures. the new business Of the
three big companies went down to
$343, 1862, 900 while that of the other COM
panies advanced from $531, ,315, 600 in
1904 to $578,21s,000 in 1905 and then
went off again to s5So,0SO00o in 1906.
That the decline in the amount of new
insurance written the country over is
not greater, in all the circumstances,
must be counted a great compliment
to the industry as well as the personal
standing of the average member of the
great army of insurance agents. They
are the men who most impress the in
sured with the need Of insurance and
the strength and fairness of the COM

About a year ago you printed yer!
OF prophesies for the different month
in which to marry I wish you wou
print It again.
Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true,
When February birds do mate,
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
IF you wed when March winds blow
Joy and sorrow both you'll known,
Marry In April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man.
Marry In the month of May,
You will surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
They who in July do wed,
Must labor always for their bread.
Whoever wed III August be,
Many changes are sure to see.
Marry in Septembers shine,
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry,
Love, will come, but riches tarry.
II you wed in bleak November.
Only JOY will come, remember.
When December's SHOWS fall fast,
Marry and true love will last.
