Under the Wilson administra-
ton the Republican party in Con-
gress has reached the point where
it has almost ceased to be even a
party of opposition. Many of it's
members voted for the Democratic
Tariff Bill. Many more voted for
the Democratic Currency Bill.
There were only few scattering
votes against two of the Demo-
cratic trust measures, and upon the
third trust bill and number of
other Democratic measures passed
the Republican opposition did not
muster enough strength to demand
a roll call. Peace and harmony
prevailed, and the country is bet
ter for it.

The horrors of modern warfare
are almost hourly enacted in the
war zones of Europe, Asia and
Africa, and it is estimated that
over $500, 900 men have been put
out of action. Notwithstanding
Germany spent about forty years
preparing for the war, which she
could have prevented when it did
come. she lost the victory for which
she had hoped when her legions
were hurled back by the English
and French at the battle of the
Marine in 1914. Russia. instead of
being the first to fall before the
Teuton arms, seems to be giving a
good account Of herself.

almost crime to allow the dam to

should save his own seed po-
tatoes because everything indi-
Gates that Irish potatoes for
next springs planting will cost
from SO to $3.50 per bushel.'
1t will, therefore, be a good
idea for our farmers who have
a late crop Of potatoes on hand
to reserve enough of them for
spring planting. There is a
large acreage of late potatoes
in some counties of the state
and if the growers will store
them carefully SO that theywill
keep well, they will undoubt-
edly bring exceptional prices
at planting time next spring.

Those who are not satisfied
with Arkansas diamonds or

that is Arkansas cotton seed.

had a large number of scarf
pins made with cotton seed
settings, and is giving them to
his friends as valuable relics
of the 1916 season which has
established record for cotton
and its products. He says that
he does not know anything
more valuable at this time than
cotton seed at $50 a ton. And
twenty five years ago gins

and dump it into the nearest

FARM DRAINAGE A PAY
ING INVESTMENT

Lack of good underground
drainage of farm lands is keep
ing thousands of dollars out Of
the pockets of Arkansas pe0-
pie. Land adequately drained
with tile will produce more cot
ton or more corn or more alfal-
ia or more of any general farm
crop. Tile drainage costs mon
ey but it returns it in the form
of larger crop yields. Well
drained land warns up more
quickly IN the spring, can be
worked and planted earlier,can
be worked more quickly after
rains. Crops on we'll drained
land grow off more quickly
and better in the spring, do
not drown cut in case of wet
weather and do not suffer so
much from dry weather. 1t may
seem strange, but it is true that
drainage make soils drier III
wet weather and wetter in dry
weather. Drainage improves
the soil by taking water out
and letting air in; it removes
water so the plant roots may
go deeper in search Of more
plant foods; it permits the soil
la nfnria alad oaalda 10 cont nnG
IaeH work OF preparing food
for the crops. Farm drainage
is one of the best investments
on the farm because it gives
back dollars and cents in in
creased yields. Especially it is
needed in boil weevil territory
to permit earlier planting of
cotton and promote more rapid
growth and fruiting before the
Weevils become numerous.
Drain the J, nd and make one
of the best investments to be
made on the farm. For further

GOVERNOR OF KANSAS
TELLS OF PROHIBITION
Statewide Prohibition in Force
In Kansas "a Years and Is
Growing IN Favor

Arthur T. Capper, governor
of Kansas, in recent issue of
Bryan's Commoner, says:
Zone of the greatest bless
ings ever bestowed upon the
people of this state, and the
law which is doing more to
make good men and women
and to bring prosperity and
happiness to the people of Kan
sas, is the amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the
traffic in Intoxicating liquor.
Prohibition has been on
trial in Kansas for thirty-four
years-a sufficient length of
time to give adequate evidence
of its merits and dement's. And
at the end of nearly a genera
ton under prohibition it may
be truthfully said that the pro
hibitory law was never so we'll
enforced as now and never 50
generally approved by the PEG
pie of the state. Approval in
deed, is too mild a word to eX-
press the attitude of Kansas
people toward this provision
of the state constitution. Nine
tenths of them are enthusiast
tically in favor of it. It is the
portion of he fundamental law
of the state that is nearest to
their hearts.
"In short, prohibition is an
unqualified success in Kansas
and our people would not think
for one moment of going back
to the saloon

To Live Long i!

A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: 1keep the kidneys in
good order Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that other
wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating
meat as much as possible; avoid
salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and vege-
table diet. Drink plenty OF water, and
exercise so you sweat-the skin helps to
eliminate the toxicpoisons and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms OF inHam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This
is a wonderful eliminator OF uric acid
and was discovered by DR.. Pierce Of
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y. Ii your
druggist does not keep 1t send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is many times more
potent than hthia and that it dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar.
