CITY POLICE AID LOCKOUT"
CONTRACTOR.

City police went on duty today in
front of one of the jobs being done by
a lockout" contractor, according to
information received by Fred Way
man, business agent of White City
Council, union fathers. Wayman's
informant said two policemen pa
trolled in front of six new apartment
houses being built by ]. G. Roska on
GreenshaW, aV. near Hamilton. ROska
is one of the contractors who locked
out union fathers last Saturday be-
cause they would not accept the new
agreement offered.
Chief Of Police Gleason today held
a conference with a committee from
the locked-oUt fathers.
The fathers make no comment
upon the action of the police depart
ment except to express hope that it
does not mean the police will be used
to protect scab labor in order to
break down the cause of the locked
out workmen.
The only result of the conference
with Police Chief Gleason was the
wholehearted assent of the fathers to
the chiefs request that the WOrkmen
conduct their side of the case with
the least possible trouble. The lath-
ers assured the chief that the locked
out workmen would have every re-
spect for law and order.

His employ CT went to his relief with the only aid in liquid form he could find on the premises, the same being bottle of tabasco sauce.
 Uncle Ike swallowed large spoon full of the stuff and returned to work, weeping copiously.

We notice a special game bill pre- pared by Senator Futrell be in troduced in the general assembly ere ating game commission.
 Mir. Futrell says he had drawn up the measure at the request of a num- Der of citizens of Arkansas, Why didn't he say some of the citizens of the cities of Arkansas?
 He says who are interested in the protection of deer, turkey and bear. (Why didn't he say, ''who are in terested in the protection of those turkey and deer hunters of the cit ies who wear the tall collar and are able to pay the license?"D
 Are not the settlers in the swamps and bottoms, where turkey and deer happen to be, entitled to all occa- sional shot?

 There was hardly an issue of the Soliphone for the last few months but what has told of some great hunting party out of Paragould on some big deer or turkey hunt, near the doors of some of the settlers in the swamps and bottoms of Arkan- sas. The reports go that said hunt ing parties bag from one to six deer on a trip.
 Now, fellow-citizens is this bill for the protection of our game, or as I have said, for the protection of the city hunter?
 How long will it be until there is bill to prevent us from killing our own birds and rabbits and give a license to our lawmakers to pay the license and rove our fields at their liberty?

CALOMELlDYNAM|TES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making you sick and you lose q days
 work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money
 If you take calomel today you'll he sick and nauseated tomorrow; i; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Senator T
 E. Toler may succeed in putting an end to the practice of bringing dam age suits in rural counties against railroad corporations and putting the cost of the proceedings on the smaller county. His bill, No. 1, in the senate provides that when such suits are brought the county where the injury occurred must pay the cost of service as well as the cost of the jury, The judiciary committee of the senate has passed favorably up- on this bill. It has been the custom for many years to bring suit for dam ages which occurred in cities in ru- ral communities, where large yer diets for the plaintiff against the railroad corporation is the rule. The personal injury cases from Little Rock clog the courts of Lonoke
 White and Saline counties, making the taxpayers there pay heavily for them. Now the county which would try the case, but for the prejudice which is manifest in the outlying counties, will have to pay the costs,

Arkansas has an average rain

3. Arkansas has an average rain 1 fall of 51 inches, well distributed throughout the growing season, in- surfing ample moisture for hay, for age, grain crops and pasturage. 4 Arkansas has a mean temper ature of from 54 to 58 degrees, evi- dencing a long pasturage and grow ing season and insuring mildness in winter that obviates the necessity for expensive housing for stock that is so often required for stock in the stock growing states of the north, east and west.
 5. Arkansas has no blizzards of severity to do damage in winter, no oppressive hot and burning tempera- ture or winds to cause loss or dam age in the summer.
 6. Arkansas is cotton raising state, with 60 cotton oil mills, pro- ducing annually over 300,000 tons of cotton seed meal, the best and cheapest basis for a concentrated feed or balanced ration known to the United States.
 T. Arkansas has an abundance of cheap and good labor available for stock raising.
 s. Arkansas has two modern packing plants in driving distance of much of her territory, and is in easy reach of Memphis, Kansas City St. Louis, Oklahoma City and Fort Worth for marketing purposes.
 g. Arkansas has sufficient trans portation facilities to put her in easy touch with any or all of the best markets with modreate cost and lit tie outlay of time.
 10. Arkansas is the gateway to d large part of the south now consum- ing large quantities of meat products, mules and horses that must be ship ped in from other states.
