Bio Prohibition Meet

Little Rock, March 4-Plans are
being made tor the annual meeting
of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League
in Little Rock at 10 a. m, April IL.
Efforts will be made to secure the
attendance of at least one thousand
at this convention, as it Is an
nounced to be the most important
meetings ever held by the League.
Each local church in the state will
be entitled to send two delegates
and each county five central COM
mitteeman. Besides, each business,
fraternal or temperance organiza
tion in harmony with the plans and
purposes of the League will be en-.
titled to two delegates. The con.
vention Will be held long enough
after the primaries to know some
thing of the personal Of the nomi
nees for the various offices in the
state, and their relation to the in.
terests of statewide prohibition
will be fully discussed.

mission to reduce the assessments.
Each party will have to make APP
plication and the poor and the hon
est taxpayer can't go TO the expenses,
as it will cost a lawyers fee and
other expenses to the amount of at
least $50; and then this commission
could not hear more than 100 appll-
cations to reduce the assessment
within the time given. So the hon
est man will find it cheaper to pay
the taxes, but the rich corporation
and rich men like Mr.. Donaghey,
who ought to pay thousands of
dollars in taxes, can afford to pay
the attorneys fee and expenses.
But as a matter of fact, these large
taxpayers will go before the State
Tax Commission and "wIth some
on the side," get their taxes reduced,
without a lawyer or other expenses,
except what they put up to the
commissioners. | have no conf
dence in a man that says he so
loves the state of Arkansas that he
gave up job of $500 per month
and took one for the state at 5000
per month, "just to help the state
out"
What has Mr.. Donaghey done
since he has been governor except
play politicts, run the state in debt
and raise our taxes?
We are at this time paying in
Conway about S4 on the 500
taxes, and more coming. Now,
on top Of this give us the T,.J.
bill, which will donble our assess
ments, and then an honest man can't
exist. "TELL THE TRUTH"

LEHMAN'S PHARMACY, Agt.
OAKLAND FARM NOTES
THE CURSE OF THE COUNTRY

~ 'Np'@ " 49, wv " III
If the farmers who rent land and
make their main crop cotton, ever
will or can be given a punch that
VIII make them set up and think,
II will be the experience they have
boUght the last year.
Dir. Farmer don't you now think
if you had planted about one fourth
as much cotton and put the rest of
your force on corn and hay and in
eeDdently had your own cured meat
banging in the smoke house that
yoN YOU'D now sit hack with a shade
more of independence? | guess
yer. Don't you think it would be
far better for you if you would
make an effort to get few acres of
your own and raise what you please
and be independent.
A renter here in the south is not
slowed by his landlord to plant
anything scarcely but cotton, cot.
ton Ii drouth, insects or wet
weather Injures his crop, which is
nearly always the case, the landlord
may become displaced and shove
him O1t. So he moves from place
70 place until he becomes disheart-
ened his children get very little
schooling, and no training in first
class farming and when grown up
start out in life with no hope Of do
ing any better than father.
If the people owned the land they
are trying to farm they would do a
great deal better farming and take
better interest in their work, pro.
duce great deal more and a better
quantity OF everything.
If the idle land grafters were
compelled to farm their own land or
sell il TO some one that would farm
it, we would have a more progres.
size andintelligent class Of farmers.
And farmers sons and daughters
would stay on the farm and be happy
and contented.
GRANGE FOR FARMLRs ONLY
Two important things lie before
the Datlonal grange.
!. 70 bring it back to fundamen.
tai principles.
2. To carry it forward in pro-
gressiye, conservative manner.
The grange is a farmers organi-
zation and one Of its tenets of faith
is that none but farmers or those
allied with agricultural persuits
shall be admitted to membership.
II this test was impartially APP
Piled 10 the present membership
lhere would not be enough left in
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-03-15

S"" d' dCCOuuJ SOllC lllnO
ago that in Massachusetts, they had
grange there with three hundred
members. They never discussed
agricultural topics and has practic.
ally no farmer members. It's mere
ly a social organization where
city people meet for a good time.
Now from all post records it shows
that the oranges all over the country
nave been slightly touched with the
same microbe.
II the order is to grow through
such means it will become weaker
instead of stronger. Yet, how can
these conditions be changed? That
is the problem which will puzzle
the wisest minds.
Each sorbordinate grange Is a
law unto itself IN admitting new
members aud If lawyer, doctor,
merchant, banker or blacksmith
wants te come In he Is generally ad
mItted quickly if his "Standing" is
o. k. Do such proceedings really
benefit the grange?
sQUIBS FROM MY NOTE BOOK
About the most sorrowful sight ]
know of is man with bad case OF
the "blues." 1t is more pitiful too
because so often the cause Is some.
thing that later turns out alright.
The worst part of the thing is chat
1t is hard on everybody else.
When man comes to the table
looking so sour that it sets every.
body's teeth on edge it is hard on
the famlly's digestion. One growl-
er can spoil the day for a household
if he starts in at breakfast time and
starts things off wrong.
We farmers "cuss" the middle
man but still keep paying him trib.
ute. We sell our hogs to the locaI
buyer who ships them to commits
sion firm. They sell them to the
packer and local dealer buys from
HIM the hams and bacon we gel
from the store. That makes four
slices to take out of the hog profit
that might have been saved if the
meat for home use had been cured
on the farm. Don't that make you
sit up and think? To me the bacon
cured at home from pigs l have
seen grow up healthy and vigorous
has better flavor than any l can
buy.
Young men stick to the farm.
The increasing needs of men,
the Improvement in agricultural
machinery, and the experiments be-
ing made in agricultural chemistry
and practical research are opening
new and broader fields for the alert
farmer.
There is no more inviting field
for sure success than the farm If
knowledge is Skillfully aud indust-
orously used.
The farmer who works and ex-
pands in mind and soul with his in
creasing acres and herds is on the
road to true success.
Large accumulations of wealth
may not be 50 easily attained on the
farm but the food Is fresh and more
wholesome, the air more pure, the
exercise more complete, the songs of
the birds more sweet, and the envi-
rons more free form evil.
He who would fill his life with
happy days may find them In other
pursuits but the widest experience
shows that in America the farmer is
most certain of reaching that goal,

.ANN|STON CASE!: IN SUPREME COURT

Montgomery, January s.-(specaD.-An interesting though time honored case was submitted to the supreme court of the state on Monday, when the court of Call noun county commissioners filed with the high tribunal an appeal from a yer uiet rendered by Judge Thomas w. Cole man. Jr., of the Anniston city court. Ap- peal is from a decision granted to the city Of Anniston in which the municipali- " prayed for and was granted mandd- mus writ for the commissioners to show cause why they should not pay into the treasury of the city half of the road anu bridge tax.
 The section of the code on which ap- peal is based is the legislative enactment of August 26, 19O9 when a bill was passed requiring that the county pay half of lts road and bridge tax te the various mn inequalities for maintenance of streets and bridges. The city alleges that the county collected about s10.0Oo from the the act, but that the county treasurer never compiled with the law.
 Cases similar to the Annston one have been in the supreme court on several occasions.

Standard statistics of the coffee trade show falling of in sales during the last two years of over two hundred million pounds. Authenticated reports from the Postum factories in this city show tremendous increase in the sale of Postum in like period of time.
 While the sales of Postum invariably show marked increase year over year, the extraordinary demand for that we'll known breakfast beverage during 1911 is very likely due to public awakening to the oppression of the coffee trust.
 Such an awakening naturally disposes the multitude who suffer from the ill effects of coffee drinking to be more re- captive to knowledge of harm which 80 often comes as result of the use of the drug-beverage, coffee-Bastls Cyssk Epening Nens-Dec. 19. 1911.
