Democratic Progress.

The Springfield Mass Republi-
can says: Texas now has bank
deposit guaranty or insurance Law
which is optional and allows a choice
between a guaranty fund plan aud a
bonding company plan. Three or
four days ago a dispatch was sent
out that the banks we're hostile TO
either plan, and that only one insti-
tuition In the state had manifested a
disposition TO accept any such ar.
rangement. Now comes the report
that within the two or three days
since the measure became q Law TWEEN.
ty state banks have accepted It's
provisions, all choosing the guar
auty fund plan. This means, OF
course, that most or all OF the other
banks will also come In under the
act. At least FIVE states now have
some form Of deposit guaranty, or
mutual insurance Of deposits. In
operation-Texas, Oklahoma, Kan.
sas, Nebraska and one OF the Da.

Real Chewing Tobacco.

Out In Arkansas to use an old say
ing, each man ''chews his own tobsc-
co and splits where he plesses." To
get tobacco In proper shape for the
Arkansas palate Is long and labor
ious process. Il requires q log. an
az, an auger, a rsmmer, corn whisky,
honey, maui and wedges How
ever, in the opinion OF the Arkansas
chewer, IL Is worth IL. says the New
York Post.
The Arkansas chewer, buys or
raises leaf tobacco. Then he goes
out into the woods and cuts down a
tree. Trimming of the branches, he
rolls the log TO place where the
sun will shine on Is fourteen hours a
day In summer and eight hours In
winter. Beginning at one end OF the
log, with the sugur he bores holes
three Inches apart until he has reach
ed the other end. Aiter he has blown
the chips away he seizes a bnndle OF
tobacco and begins the work OF ram.
ming the leaves down in the auger
holes until they are filled within
three inches Of the top. The next
step Is to take the rammer and ram
the tobacco as hard as II can be
rammed. A Jug OF corn whisky,
which would burn the throat out OF
an Fastener, then Is called into
play. The tobacco chewer goes from
hole to hole, pouring In corn whisky
on top OF she tobacco until the
holes are filled within an inch or so
OF the bark.
After the whisky Jug the Arkansas
chewer takes up siar oihoney. From
1t he pours enough OF the sweetening
into each hole until Il Is filed to the
top. The Arkansan then sits down
on the log for two hours to permit
the corn whisky and the honey to
soak into the tobacco leaves. He oc.
cupies that time In whiting plugs
to fit each OF the holes, when he
drives plug into each auger hole
until Is will 90 no further.
In Arkansas the objectionable sin
Ia for one man to meddle with anoth-
er mans tobacco log. 1t means u
quick draw and sudden death. The
Arkansas chewer goes home and
does not return to the log for two
weeks. At the expiration OF that
period he drives wedges along the
line OF the auger holes until the log
splits Its entire length and falls
apart. Exposed to his view are the
long, round plugs Of tobacco, They
are redolent with the perfumes Of the
still, the hive, the plantation and the
forest. Tenderly he lifts them from
their auger molds and smells them
critically. Then he takes q chew and
gives whoop that is heard by the
folks at home. He has tested the
weed and has found that 1t is good.
