The case goes back 20 the days OF
Richard Achilles i5alllnger and TO court
decisions no longer in harmony with
he = -T
people and their officials who are in
tercsted in the conservation Of natural
resources. IN 1903 President Taft with
drew several hundred thousand acres
o. land in California from the domain
TO which patent could be acquired. The
Legality OF his act was challenged. and
in 1910 Congress passed an act author
izing the withdrawal.
Since that time three sets of ques-
tions relating to oil and mineral lands
have arisen.
In the Southern Pacific case fraud
was charged on the ground that the
l-nd was known to contain oil when
acquired by the railroad and that the
railroad therefore could not obtain
title. y second division OF cases in
volved instances in which oil producers
had gone on tn Glands Withdrawn at
the time OF or after In withdrawal
without bona fide rights and had taken
oil. The third question presented is
whether the government retains
right to mineral lands even though the
title involving the same area as az
r!cultural land has passed to a rail
road company or other corporation.
The validity OF the withdrawal of min
eral and oil lands is not questioned in
the suits to be filed, the rights Of
those who are the land or who are
using it are involved.

PAID $500, SOLD FOR 5000. Ohio Man Pleased With Arkansas. Loves the
 State and People.

Possibly one of the most en. thusiastic Arkansas boosters that 1 have met in many a day, met on Saturday last in the person o1 MT. J. w. Thompson, who moved to this section eight years age from Van Vert County, Ohio, purchasing for $500 a little forty acre farm from H. L. Baker, 1-s mile east of Hunter.
 MT. Thompson said to the AR. GUS man:
 Yes I've sold my little
 place, but I sold it to my
 daughter. Pm .going back
 up to Ohio to visit, but am
 coming back to make my
 home in Arkansas. 1 moved
 here 8 years ago from Van
 Vert County, Ohio. Pm 70
 years old and have made
 more money and made it
 easier in Arkansas than I
 ever made in the same time
 in Ohio. I have no kick
 whatever on Arkansas. The 5 state is a great one with
 fewer disadvantages than
 any other secion in America
 that I know of. The people are noble, kind and true
 neighbors, no better on earth.
 The business men in our
 little town, Hunter, are a
 clever, kind people, especially
 have found this true of
 Brinneman Bros, with whom
 I have traded for the past
 seven years. They are hon.
 est, true gentlemen and friends from head to foot. :"
 MT. Thompson had the misfor- tune to lose his good wife on Tuesday, May Eth. about 12:3( o'clock. Mrs. Thompson. wht was subject to attacks of hear disease, was suddenly stricken and passed to her long home and was buried on the following day at Hunter.

Many people have poor teeth, weak eums, sore teeth and other bothersome troubles that prevent vigorous mas tication of food. And instead of eat ing soft, mushy food that palls on the appetite they go in for those savory dishes, the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the stomach fair ly revel with anticipation.
 This is but natural condition. Any thing else borders upon the indiffer- cice which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspesia.
 It may be safely said that 1t should not be a question of diet or kind of food or teeth or even any of the re- flexes which are supposed to have their influence in deranging the stomach. l. is simply a matter of supplying the stomach and digestive organs with those known assistants such as pepstn and hydrochloric acid. both of which have direct and powerful action upon the contents of the stomach.
 One grain of a single ingredient in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest scOO grains of food This saves your stomach and gives it the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest if they are ever overtaxed. The stom- ach is no exception to this rule. Try box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets and you will wonder how you ever got along without them They are sold at 50 cents by all druggists eyery- where.
