A PERSONAL WORD TO
 SPECTACLE. WEARERS
McCrory Optometrist Gives Valuable
 Information.

ClldC IS very much abused, l re- gret to say. The legislature pass ed an act requiring anyone who desires to practice optometry to pass State Board of Examiners. This law, if enforced, eliminates the incompetent spectacle ped dler, but unfortunately does not prevent the competent optician from being dishonest misrepre- senting and fitting glasses when not needed, and charging exor- bitant prices.
 Contrary to the general opin- ion, spectacles cost very little. Our charges are made principal ly for professional services and not for the glasses, just as the physician charges for his ser vices and not for the medicine he gives you, therefore do not be misled into paying high prices for so-called pebble" 'toric" or specially ground lenses as these cost only a few cents more than ordinary lenses.
 l am a graduate in Physiologic and Ophthalmic Optics and am licensed by the State Board of Arkansas, and am the only op- tometrist registered to practice in Woodruff County. 1 am per manently located and can give you better service at a cheaper price than the city optician whose expenses are considerable, or the travelling optician whose travel ing and other expenses must be added to his prices. l fit glasses as low as $1. 50 and it is only in very unusual cases that 1 charge over $500. If you appreciate frankness and Reliable Service at an Honest Price," 1 ask you for your patronage.
 Yours Truly,

why don't you give me the benefit

DUTY is all very we'll, said, but
what we sometimes deem duty is only
our UnwhOlesOme desire to wear a

be happy is what the mob strives for;
to be miserable for a principle, even
if it be fancied, sets one above the

EAST COAST IF ITALY FORWARDED GUN BOATS AND AEROPLANES ATTACK SEVERAL TOWNS IN
 GUIDING VENICE. BITTER FEELING EXISTS Italian intervention Is Hailed With Delight in the Allied
 Countries.
BITTER FEELING EXISTS

Iondon=Little or no time has been allowed to elapse between the deelara- tion of war and actual fighting be tween Italy and Austria Austrian aeroplanes. destroyers and torpedo boats descended on the Italian coast of the Adriatic and bombarded sev- eral towns, including Venice, while in the Tyrol and on the eastern frontier Italian and Austrian advance guards have fired the first shots.
 The plan of campaign has not yet been disclosed, but it is generally be- lieyed attempts to infiict a quick and decisive defeat or, at least, one that will discourage the Italians, will be undertaken, largely by the Germans under Field Marshal von Hindenburg.
 It is said the German troops. with heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppelins, already are passing through the val ley of the River Adige in the diree- tlon of Verona, and that rapid and fierce blows will be delivered almost immediately at the Italian center This. the Germans doubtless believe, would serve to hold off an Italian ad. vance from the province of Venice, where the fiat nature of the country would give the Italians a greater chance of success.
 Throughout Austria and Germany there is bitter denuneiation of Italy, which for the moment has replaced England as the most hated enemy.
 In the allied countries, on the other hand, Italian intervention is hailed with delight, and in the Italian quar. ters of London and Paris there have been enthusiastic demonstrations and cheering farewells to the Italians leav- ing to join the eolors.
