FROM ARKANSAS

The diamonds recently found IN
Pike county, Arkansas, have been
examined by the foremost dia-
mond experts in the Unitrd States
and are pronounced to be equal to
those found in the famous Kim
berly, South African, district.
Arkansas has been awarded first
prize for the finest cotton In the
world; she produces the finest and
most valuable pearls in the world;
she never fails to take the first
prize for the finest fruit; the hay
from her broad alfalfa fields has
never been excelled; her marble
is attracting attention throughout
the entire country; she produces
as fine rice as ever tickled the
palate of man; her mineral de-
posits are among the richest of
any state in the union; her coal
fields will rival those of any state
in the South; her vast timber re
sources place her right up the
front rank among the greatest
lumber producing states in the
union; and to cap the climax she
startles the world by producing
some of the finest diamonds ever
brought from the bosom of Mother
Earth in any part of the world.

to aid any political party, clique
or politician to ride into Office,
either state, county or township.
It is perfectly legitimate for the
Union to take up the fight for GER
tain principles or legislation that
will be beneficial to the farmers as
a whole, or to fight any proposed
measures that may conflict with
their rights and interests. But in
doing this we should be very care
full to keep aloof from the infu-
ences of individual politics or
politicians.
Any party or politician who
attempts to swing the Farmers
Union, separately or collectively,
into political turmoil and discord
for the sake of his own selfish
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, even should he
himself be member of the Union,
should be severely rebuked.
The journal is confident that
the various local unions and the
county organization will positively
take no part in politics, either
county or state, so far as endors-
ing any man is concerned, and
woe be unto the man who attempts
to run the Union into any such
blind folly. The man or men who
attempt it are treading upon dam
gerous ground, and deserve moth
ing better than to be kicked over
into political oblivion.

THERE Is A REASON.
y The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April In
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition Of physicians to pat
ent" medicines which are taken with.
out prescription, in the following
words:
1--WE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year $4,000, 900 has been ex.
pended on patent medicines In the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country yearly
income Of $4,000. In the face of such
facts as these. all talk Of love of hu.
manity, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes CHEAP and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent" medi-
cine business Is about $40,000,000 in
stead of s62,OO0,0OO but taking the
Medical Times' figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost Of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $230,O00.-
900. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each of
the 10000 physicians In the United
States. Even allowing that gross
business Of s62 100000 is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.
