The Ideal Tire

The No-Rim-Cut tire. our patented

And the food-like demand now COM
pels q capacity of 3,S0o'per day.
All because this is the one practical
tire which can't rim-cut. And because

The extra tread was then made just as
thick as the regular. 1t was made up OF
deep-cut blocks, which present to the
road surface countless edges and angles.
The blocks widen at the base, so the
strain is spread.
After three years of tests we are ready
to say that here is utter perfection in
a non-skid tire. Nothing else Is so eff
cient, so durable, so economical.

THAT'S THE TRUTH

Earle Hodges, our competent, and genial Secretary of State is sitting steady in the boat this year. He has grown, as few pub- lie men have grown, during his first term. He was strongly urg- ed by friends all over the state to get in the governors race, but he wisely decided to offer for a second term. He will have no opposition. North Arkansas is especially proud of Earle, and look upon him as the Mountain Hope" If the sue cessful candidate for governor should decide to try to go to the U. s. Senate two years hence, North Arkansas will be solid for Earle Hodges for governor. Ii not, then we are for him wherever he decides to go.-Yellville Echo.

Mrs. Bakers Family Poisoned in Strange Tanner That Came
 Near Proving Fatal

Mrs. B. A. Baker, her son and daughter, Allie and Miss Ivy, were accidentally poisoned Monday by something they had eaten, and were in a precarious condition for several hours.
 About middle of the afternoon Monday they were siezed with violent crampings and serious fits of vomiting. Their condition soon became dangerous and physician was summoned.
 The exact cause of the poisoning is not known, but it is supposed to have resulted from something they had eaten. They had eaten nothing, however, except their regular diet, and there is consider able mystery surrounding the case

UNIQUE PARTY OF DINERS

At the noon hour Thursday at the Baker hotel in this city, there was seated at one of the tables in the dining room a rather unique party of diners. They were Judge M. L. Arnold, Hon. Frank M. Mar tin, Prof. A. A. Henderson, J. I. Sturdivant, w. D. Magness, and w. H. Tomlinson, six lifelong friends and neighbors of Big Bot tom township, and among that lecality's most prosperous and in- fuential citizens. The average age of the party was 64 years, and each of them was born and raised in Big Bottom township.
 That there is no place like home" and the luther fact that Big Bottom township is in fact Gods country" is demonstrated by the above incident. Few com munities can produce half a dozen influential and good citizens who were born and raised and still re- side in the locality, and who have reached the mature age these gentlemen have attained, and we will venture that there are few sections of the whole country where as many citizens have spent their entire lives as in the Big Bot. tom Batesville Guard.

question and many ot the leaders are themselves divided on this question, but this will not pre- vent the submission. Petitions are now in circulation throughout the state, and as only twelve thousand names are required, 1t is clear there will be no difficulty in securing the requisite number.
 The petitions are being circulat- ed under the directions of the Anti-Saloon League, and Rev Frank Barrett says there are 150,- 900 church members of the state practically pledged to it's support. It also has the support of Gov. Donaghey.
 The legislature is likely to find itself in the predicament of the coon hunter who sawed off the limb between himself and the tree, should the constitutional amend ment prevail, which seeks to re- strict the time of the legislative sessions. It is proposed that the sessions shall be restricted to sixty
  days at six dollars per day, with out pay for extensions, and to ex- tra sessions ot fifteen days at three dollars day, without per diem for extensions. The maximum that any member could then get out of a session would be $405 Should they fail to do the neceS- sary amount of work in the pre- scribed time, their patriotic devo- tion to the cause of their constitu- ents would have to be brought in- to service.

PEOPLE ASLAW MAKERS
Initiative and Referendum is Pop ular and People May Trim
 Legislatures Powers

One of the most notable develop ments of state affairs confronting the people at this time is the growth of the sentiment, for population legislation under the Initiative and Referendum amendment. The people appear to be ready to take the subject of laW-making into their own hands very largely, and the indications are that the tickets next Septemberwil be loaded down with propositions upon which the voters may express their opinion.
 Those who opposed the Initia- tive and Referendum in Arkansas, declared that 1t would be useless, as it would seldom be invoked. They were mistaken. The people are just awakening to the fact that they have this law making instrument in their hands, independent of or correlative with the Legislature, and they are pre- pairing to use 1t effectively in state, county and neighborhood affairs. In some instances the referendum is being employed to set aside acts passed by the Legislature, notably the Turner-Jacobson bill. In more numerous cases the Initiative IS being invoked to enact laws anew.
 There are now twelve petitions on file with the Secretary of State, but only one is for a statewide proposition. This is the petition with twenty-thousand signatures filed by Senator Friedell to refer the Turner-Jacobson bill to the people, that they may say whether or not 1t shall become a law.
 Gov. Donaghey, who is making his race for a third term practically on this issue, has been covering the state pretty thoroughly, and he declares that the bill will be over- whelmingly approyedbythe people. He says the people are slowly but surely learnig that they have been improperly persuaded by the oppo- sition to beleive the bill is against their interests. As they are con- vinced that 1t is in their interests . essentially, they are as strongly supporting it.
 But there will be many other states propositions for submission as the law gives until the first of June for the filing of Initiative petitions. Next to the revenue measure, and greater than 1t in the minds of many, is the prohibition

no charges; he merely alleges general
