NEVER look gift in the cost mark.
az All that glitters is not diamonds.
Mistletoe makes the heart grow
fOnder.
The gift deferred maketh the heart
sick.
Belief in Sara Claus is the best
policy.
1t Is wise merchant who knows his
own goods when they are brought
back for exchange.
To give hideous gifts is human, to
forgive impossible
Gifts make the man, the want of
them the fellow.
One Christmas bargain makes the
whole of womankind spin.
Christmas bills are stubborn things.
Santa Claus is not as red as ho Is
painted.
Buy gifts in haste and repent at
leisure.
Uneasy lies the head that's trying to
make twenty dollars buy forty
gifts.
And thereby hangs stocking.
Every Christmas tree must stand on
its own bottom.
Gifts are seldom what they seem.

ARKANSAS AND PROSPERITY

Is Arkansas prosperous? Have good times returned? Let us see.
 The grain crops of the state exceed the value of the cotton crop, for the first time in the history of the state.
 Cotton is bringing the best price in years, and cotton seed is gone be- yond all records.
 A million dollars will be brought in to North Arkansas this year by the zinc mines, and many are amassing fortunes.
 Every saw-mill and lumber plant in the state is working full time, many with day and night shifts, trying to meet an increasing demand at increas- ed prices.
 A report from Jackson county. and practically the same is true in other county, is that ''the crop of 1916 will be made without credit during the growing of the crop to the extent nec- essary in recent years.
 Metchants, bankers, and farmers have never been closer together and cooperating more effectively for their mutual good.
 Building operations are heavy in all the cities.
 Five million dollars is being ex- pended on permanent good roads.
 The state of Arkansas is more than $150,000 nearer out of debt than it was year ago.
 It has been well summed up in the following paragraph from the Fort Smith Times Record:
 "'Just Turn Old Confidence Loose is slogan invented by a Little Rock man. It is good one. There is no reason on earth why there should not be prosperity in Arkansas. We have the best crops in years. The prices are unusually good. If things do not hum this fall it will be because some thing else besides material conditions prevail

CHOOSE WISELY

The law, Survival of the fttest." so often mentioned in biology is like " to operate in farming. In fact it mas been in operation and is likely to continue, eliminating those who can not adjust their business affairs to the changed conditions now required for profitable farming. Those who are progressive enough to keep up with the latest and best practices in farm Ing, those who find their own short comlngs and master their own local problems will succeed. Those who can not do this will, as some of their nelghbors have done, leave the farms to other and more successful.
 The unsuccessful are with us to- day, just as they have always been. This is true in business as we'll as farming. The law is more exacting in ordinary business than it is in farm Ing, because as a general rule farm ing will stand more careless work than other business.
 There are many people now on farms who should be engaged in other business. There are business men in cities who should be farming. Society is better served, individuals are happier and more prosperous when each is doing the kind of work for which he is best suited and that which gives him the greatest pleas ure. The sooner one finds his mis- take, if a mistake has been made in choosing the occupation, the better it will be. While there may be "step- ping stones" leading from one occu- patton to another, one should lose lit tie time on the 'steps." Farm hands and tenants may find it necessary to continue for several years before they are able to buy home and begin for themselves, but when there is an op- portunity they shoulr make use of it.
 Young people should search them selves, analyze their likes and dis likes, consider their aptitudes and en- deavor to find their life work Much will depend upon a wise choice. Whether young people stay on the farm or go to the cities is of little in terest to society. But those who choose should choose wisely for them Selves.-Farm and Ranch.

NO CHANGE AFOREMENTIONED
 SITUATION.

There have been no further develop ments in the political situation during the past week. It is believed that the gubernatorial list is closed with the possible exception of Gov. Hays, who continues to play a waiting game. Messrs. McBae, Brough, Hodges, Smith and Crockett are actively cam paigning, and it is believed that all of these will run through. The entrance of Gov. Hays into the arena would make some radical changes in the line up. For the minor offices there have been no new announcements or with drawals, with the one exception of the entrance of Oscar II.

ARKANSAS FOLKS

A lot of Arkansas people are need lessly suffering from stomach ail- ments. A lot of others have found a way to health and deliverance from the Arrangements of the digestive tract, which seems to be particularly prevalent in the South, by the use of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy.
 There is no better proof of what this truly remarkable remedy will do than what it has done. Here are the words of two Arkansas people:
 WILLIAM A. HARMAN, Dewitt Ark. writes: "I took your full treat ment and was greatly benefited by it.. The amount of impurities removed from my system was simply wonder full"
 CHARLIE SPENCER, Monticello, Ark. writes: "I received your won derful remedy and did not take it right away because l thought the dose was too large. But l felt so bad that made up mind to take it, and it has worked like a charm and has help ed me so much my stomach feels like a new one"
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and a~arnd the heart. Get one bottle of druggist now and try it on an ab~olute guarantee if not satisfactory mon y will be re- turned

ANNOUNCES AS CAM
 DIDATE STATE AUDITOR

The week during legislative ses- sion which does not bring forth a new candidate for state office, is a week that may be counted as lost. This week We have new name, one unfa- miliar to the voters of most parts of Arkansas, but in the vicinity of his home town he is power. Joe A. Bailey of Prescott announces that he will be a candidate for State Auditor in the March 1916 primary. Mr. Bailey has served as county and cir cult clerk of Nevada county, and now aspires to greater honors, feeling that he is well equipped to perform the clerical duties which are required of the State Auditor. MT. Bailey is now connected with a bridge company at Hope. There are several other candi- dates for this position, c. c. Coffman, the incumbent, William Stoddard Henry s. Mccain, and possibly Bruce T. Bullion, but the latter is a bit shy of yielding to the persuasion of his many friends who desire to support him for some state office.

ARKANSAS MAY HAVE NEW CONSTITUTION
 BEFORE NEXT YEAR
Should Senate Pass Bill Which Re- ceived Vote of 66 to 31 in House Constitutional Convention will
 be Held September }.

Little Rock, Feb. 11-Should the Senate pass bill which passed the House by vote of 60 to 31, Arkansas will have new constitution before the close of the present year. The bill was introduced early in the session by Mr. Yerger of Chicot, and originally provided for an election on june p, 1915, of 128 delegates for a convention to be held Sept. 5, 1915. This was amended to reduce the number of delegats from 128 to 85, of whom one is to be elected from each county and ten from the State at large. Speech es against the bill were made by Messrs. Gray, and Brocllman, and speeches in support of it's passage were made by Messrs Yerger, Cond- ray, Belote, Griffin and Josephs. The bill carries approximately $25000 for the expenses of the convention.

for Arkansas to make no appropria- tion would be an advertisement to the world that Arkansas is destitute which is not the condition of the portion of the state in which he resides.
 Senator Moore offered an amend ment to cut out all the first section of the bill, which approves the action of the Governor in appointing the Board, contracting for the building, and en- dorsing all the actions of the com mission. His reason for this was that the Senate was not informed on all these subjects.
 When Senator Going declared that such action would be a reflection on the Governor and all his official actions connected with the raising of money with which to erect the building, Sen ator Moore withdrew his amendment, and the bill was not obstructed further finally passing with only seven dis senting votes.
 The Senate then adjourned until M onday.

tice of law, changes which make very little differences, and which will not be noticed when it was first read in the House, as it did when first it was in- troduced in the Senate, and 33 counties were exempted in a short time. This killed the first Senate game bill, but the members banded together and de- clined to permit exemption of counties on the second bill, and in that man ner it went back over to the House. Now the majority of the Senate has signed plea to the House asking it to pass the bill so that it apply to the whole state, so Arkansas stands a good chance to have general law that will really protect the rapidly disappearing game.

Practical Trade School Idea.

London has elaborated the trade school idea to include the work of out fitting women with an equipment to face life's struggle. In the six trade schools of London. four of which are under the direct control of the London county council, and two of which are connected with the polytechnic insti- tutions. aided by grants from the Lon don county council, various trades of the traditional feminist classes, such as dressmakins ladies tailoring. cor set making, millinery, embroidery, waistcoat making cooking, laundry work and upholstery, are being taught. In addition to competent teachers these schools have enlisted in their interest advisory committees of en- ployees of the classes of WorkWomen being developed by the schools. one result of which is that employment at profitable wages awaits the capable students of these schools, The voca- tional school idea is spreading and ex- tending through the civilized world, with the result that it brightens the prospects of youth and heartens young people with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some manual deXterity in those lines of work in which the world stands con stantly in need of workers.

Fully S5 per cent of the hi,ls m introduced so far are also local. Tho branches are now beginning to rork on general bills, and this week .-;u coo some of the most important nordnc ones put out of the way, el- finer by passage or rejection.
 The Senate will have this week to ross mon the Posey hospital inspec- t;on bill. which is an antl-cathol1c uoasure. It cannot be said there IS ro nreiudice against Catholicism in tbo Senate but it is in the majority, and if the bill called up it will meet with q short. but determined opposl- finn which will probably be fatal to tho measure. The Lefler Sunday fish ing bill. killed two years ago, but nassed by the House this time, depriV- ing the city man from a week end on lake or stream by making Sunday fish ing illegal, will not get started in the Senate. It has been in the hands of the Secretary of the Senate for sev- eral days but no one will ask that it he brought up. It it does there will be one more House bill in the Senate cemetery. Four House bills to be considered this week will receive ia vor at the hands of the Senate, the Josephs blue sky bill, the Sawyer Hot Springs racing bill, the number of tick eradication districts. and the Cazort repeal of the Johnson county mine run coal bill. This last will be the subject of bitter debate and efforts will be made to postpone action upon it with the hope of holding it off long enough to prevent a general repeal bill from following but the indications are that the bill will soon be law. foI the motion to indefinitely postpone it met with such decisive defeat.
