CALOMEL MAY
 HURT YOUR LIVER

t [ aYS
 Every time you take this pow erful drug you are in danger. Take Dodson's Liver Tone in stead. Calomel is made from mercury, and while mercury has has many valuableu uses. it is a dangerous thing to swallow. If calomel stays in the system very long it salivates. Even when it works naturally. it's after-effects are often bad.
 M. B. Converse will sell you Dodson's Liver Tone, which is positively guaranteed to take the place of calomel. Liver Tone stimulates the liver just enough to start it working, and does not make you sicker than ever as caIomel does. You feel good after taking Dodson's and it won't force you to stop eating or working after taking it. # It is as beneficial for children as for adults.
 Try a large bottle for fifty cents under the guarantee that
 s7 your money will be given back chee rfully if you're not satisfied.

Writes About Good Roads Monroe County People Can Have Real Roads
 If they Want Elm

Atlanta, Ga., August IS, 1914. Editor Argus:
 The other day was in a little town in North Carolina when an acquaintance, driving new Saxon automobile, came along and asked me if 1 would like to ride with him to the next town. It so happened that l wa s through with my work, and the town to which he was going was my next point. So 1 got in and enjoyed my first experience in the body of a Saxon and a more enjoyable ride in an automobile 1 have never had.
 The trip was from Modesville to Statesville, a distance of fifteen miles which we made in a little more than thirty minutes, stopping enroute to take some kodak pictures. This rapid travel was made possible by the good roads which they have in North Carolina. This particular road was built of sand and clay, this being the most popular method of road building in that state. l mention this little ride to bring out the fact that they have good roads in North Caro- lima. Almost the entire state is covered by good roads, built within the past ten years. This is especially true of the main thoroughfares. There is a road which they call the Across the State Highway, extending from the extreme Eastern part of the state to the extreme Western part of the state. Then the National Highway runs through the Piedmont section from the North to the South. Other roads have also been built and are in the building, the counties vieing with each other to see

THAT CROSS sIAtE HIGHWAY


 If the special act authorizing road improvement districts in Lonoke and Prairie counties is as defective as Judge J. s. Thomas, and others in their speeches at tempt to show; how is it that the people of Lonoke county, who are enjoying the good roads constructed under it, have not made the discovery? How is it that the people of Monroe coun- ty are lamenting the fact that they are not included in it's pro visions. and are now awaiting the meeting of the legislature in order to get in?-DeValls Bluff Democrat.
 It seems from this that our Judge .j. s. Thomas is engaged in making speeches against the road improvement district in Prairie county. Now the ARGUS can't understand this for Judge Thomas is one of our leadiug citizens and we can't understand for a moment why he should oppose this proposed highway law. Will our DeValls Bluff contemporary be more explicit for we of Monroe county have a lien on" in this highway matter and our people have subscribed thousands of dollars as advance money" to organize the district in this county as Prairie county has done and put the special act thro' at the next legislature. Let's learn all about it now.

PETTY POLITICS BY THE GOVERNOR

Gov. Hays has appointed a MT. Breckenridge, of Paragould, to fill out the few months of the late Maj. Bellamy's term as Railroad Commissioner, of this district.
 Mir. Breckenridge may be a fine man and well qualified for the work of Railroad Commis- sioner, he may be a strong political friend of the Governor but with all this there is no reason or excuse for his being appointed to serve the three or four months as Railroad Con- missioner, when he MUST give up the office in that short time to the man elected to succeed Maj. Bellamy. namely MT. Tom Wood. of Marianna. If Gov. Hays had have had the interests of the people of Arkansas at heart he would have appointed Mir. Wood and thus let. him learn how" to wear the harness of the office.
 Gov. Hays may. be nice gentleman personally as no doubt he is. but he is engaging in some of the smallest acts of a peanut politician at the ex- pense of the people of Arkansas.

Forrest City With and
 Without Saloons

A decided decrease of crime in Forrest City.
 12O drunks the record for three months with licensed saloons, while only 4 occur in the cor responding months with no saloons.
 How often do we hear the ex- pression, I've had just as well have the licensed saloons. for we have just as many drunks. :" The pity that we live in an age of enlightment and have citizens who claim intelligence yet are so grossy ignorant. To explode the statement I've have just as many drunks," we but ask you to go with us to the city's crimi- nal docket. In the year 1905 we had licensed saloons. i's The fol- lowing record is for the last three months of that year:
 October Number of persons fined 45; amount $193; drunks l7. November = Number of per- sons fined 95; amount $228; drunks 66.
 December Number of persons fined 66; amount $115; drunks 37.
 Total number fined 206: amount $536; drunks 120. This record was three years before saloons went out, hence no flushed conditions just what ordinarily exists where there are licensed saloons.
 The following is a record of the same months in the year 1913, five years after the saloons were voted out:
 October Persons fined 31; amount $125; drunks 1.
 November Persons fined 10, amount SPA; drunks l.
 December Persons fined g; amount $90; drunks 2.
 Total Persons fined GA; amount $341; drunks 4.
 Compare the two records, and if there is any doubt in your mind as to the exactness of them we only ask that you go to our mayors office and examine the criminal docket for the years and months named, as we have done, and be convinced that we do not have the drunks now that we had with open saloons Times

EMPLOYING THE TEACHER
 If the board of directors de- sires to have a good school, they cannot be indifferent about en- ploying a teacher. There is no hope for a good school without a good teacher.
 l.. Decide what the district is able to pay.
 2. Decide to employ the best teacher that the money will get.
 It is bad practice to try to get a teacher for the least money. If you can pay forty dollars a month, get the best for forty dollars. If you can pay fifty, let it be known that you will take only the best that the money will get. If you can pay sixty you can secure the very best teacher, and should not be satis- fled until you have secured her.
 3. Try to find the best teach CT. The first who applies has no superior rights. Indeed, it will be perfectly right to ask one whom you want to apply, even if you already have numerous applications on hand.

He will give you the benefit of his best judgment. He cannot afford to do other wise, if he would he knows that he will be held responsible if the one he recommends fails.
 4. Consider the interests of the children only. Remember the school money is the chill dren's money and you are their educational guardians. Some poor family may need the money and you may desire to help one so deserving and so needy. But you are not privileged to con- tribute the children's money unless by so doing you give them the best teacher for their mon- ey.
 You may have a friend who would like a place for his daughter. It is a failure in duty to give her the place if she is not the best teacher that you can get.
 You are school directors to serve the children. To let other considerations influence you in selecting a teacher makes you unfaithful in your great trust. !"
