READING tor a Boy.

We wish we could get the boys TO
read "In Tune With the Infinite, LuD-
books pleasures of Life" Drum
mond's Natural Law in the Spiritual
World Wagner's "The Simple Life
Serviss' Astronomy With an opera
GLASS;" and similar books, all OF which
could be read in the time that boy
usually fritters away. 1t needn't take
away u moment of the time devoted to
fun and play, though it might divide
time with the usual branches OF study.
We speak of the above books be-
cause they tend to awaken ones divine
energies and make ones life noDief
and happier. The greatest part OF
lad is his spirit. With that, impulses,
aspirations and tendencies are created.
without it, his life becomes negative
and vague. These books in places may
be little difficult to appreciate, but
a boy can get some flavor from them
that will be decided benefit % him.
It is the way TO acquire diligence, pur-
pose, insight into the mea hing OK
things, the love of duty, the grand
heights of self-reliance, traits and
qualities that glorify boy.
The fact is the boys spirit is mis-
used at home and school because it is
not fed on the food that strengthens
it. 1t cyphers and parses and refuses
to admit to its heart, courtesy, cour-
age, work, aspiration. reverence and
other divinities that are knocking to
get in. The reading of these books
will change all that and actually put
boy in tune with the infinite.--Obio

55 acres of this cotton that had suffered from weeks of drouth, which is pretty sure to produce a bale to the acre. There's no more truth and sense in saying that it doesn't pay to raise blooded cotton around Brinkley, than in saying it doesn't pay to raise blooded hogs.
 The ARGUS man has arranged with Mir. Chaney to have this Ex- press cotton specially ginned and the seed carefully handled, all hulls removed, etc, so that it may be offered to the farmers of the Brinkley territory at a req sonable price for planting. Farm CTS who want from S15 to S20 per bale for their cotton should make arrangements for their seed NOW-RIGHT NOW.

Among the Auto Owners

Has John Willys accomplish ed, in the manufacture of his New Series Model 75--B Over land, his one biggest aim in the manufacturing business?" is the substance of a question heard frequently these days around the huge Willys Overland. Plant in Toledo, Ohio, where a thousand Overlands are being turned out every day.
 Ever since Mr. Willys began the manufacture of motor cars, he has intimated to his friends that one of his greatest am bitions has been to turn out an absolutely fully equipped car at a medium price.
 There was but small margin for profit for us and had it not been for the satisfied buyers who recommend our car to their friends and consequently increas- ed our production, Pm afraid the prices of Overlands would have necessarily remained much higher.
 We knew there would be a big demand for a car like our New Series Model 75 B, selling around $500, so we spent money almost recklessly in fitting it out.
 "Glance at the car yourself. Note the two unit, six-volt electric starting and lighting system, with head, tail and dash lamps and headlight dinners; the ammeter to register the electric current; the one-man mohair top and top boot; the curtains which fasten from the inside; the built-in, rain vision, ventilating type of windshield; the magnetic speedometer; the revolving oil indicator; the gaso- line gauge; the electric horn; the combination tail light and license bracket; the hinged robe rail; the foot rest; the tire carriers in the rear; the extra demountable rim; the full set of tools-oh, I could call your attention to it's unusual features for an hour and then not mention them all.

1lNk BEFORE YOU VOTE

The great trouble with the people of Monroe County is that they don't stop to think before they vote. sign petitions. etc.
 The state has spent about $200 the county of Monroe alone to give all possible publicity to the proposed new laws and amend ments that are to come up for the considerations of the people at the November election and for fear some of our good citizens will pass them up until voting time and then do the wrong thing the ARGUS begs to call your at- tention to same right now.
 Act No. 1 seeks to regulate primary elections, and voters should examine itand discuss it among themselves and be ready to vote for or against it as they may deem best after comparing it with the present law. Act No. 2 seeks to repeal state wide prohi- bition law, and we hope to see Monroe County cast a solid vote againstit. State wide prohibition has besn tried in Arkansas, and good effects are everywhere apparent. Besides these Acts, there are three amendments to the constitutions to be voted on. Read them now and see what they propose. Nos. 12 and 13 are initiated by the people, and No. IA has been submitted by the Legislature.
