mr.. JULIUS S.HLOSS
MAKES ENTHUSIAS-
TIC STATEMENT
Mr. SchIoss Very Enthusiastic Over
Results Obtained With One Bottle
of Brunson's Fomauos Prescrip-
ton.

In conversation with a representa-
tive of Reinberger & Collier, drug
gists, Mr.. Schloss, for the past ten
years connected with the wholesale
and retail stores Of the Isaac Drey-
fus Co., spoke very highly of the re-
suits obtained after taking one bottle
of this great prescription, and said III
part:
II have been troubled for some
time with pains IN my back and after
trying several of the best known pre-
paratIons on ane market for my COM
plant without getting any relief was
induced to try bottle of Brunson's
Famous Prescription, and must say
that the results from this one bottle
was worth twenty times what It cost
me. | do nor intend to ever be with
out it, I feel better than | have for
some time, and am only too glad to
recommend it to my friends who need
something to act on their kidneys, liv-
err and stomach. I did not feel the
bad results from taking this medicine,
it did not grippe or nauseate me, and
was able to eat anything | wanted
while taking it without any trouble
whatever. 1t is, in my opinion, the
best Liver, Stomach and Kidney rem
edy I have ever taken, and | can not
speak too highly in its praise.

II. c. o. l..

In the past year commodities IN
Pine Bluff have been kiting, 1t is
said that in a year the purchasing
mower of the American dollar has de-
creased 81 per cent, which is some
thing fearful to contemplate if one
happens to be on the purchasing end
of the transaction.
Farmers should be receiving the
major portion of the increase IN
prices of their products. But do they :
II they do, why is it that in North
Dakota the Farmers Non-Partisan
league got control of the state legisla-
ture in the recent eelction, with the
avowed purpose of state-owned ele-
vators and system of direct market
ing Of products to the miller?
The object of the North Dakota
farmers is to knock out the middle
man and gambler and Spectator, who
in too many instances grabs most of
the profits out of an article.
Farmers throughout the entire ma
ton are watching the North Dakota
farmers, who evidently are doing
something worth while for themselves
and also arc making decided thrust
at a system that undoubtedly has
much to do with the high cost of liv-
ing in the towns and cities.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 2.-F'resh and
clean from the recent use of curry
comb and hair brush, hundreds of
-blooded cows, sheep, swine and
horses held a reception at the Inter
national Stock show at the stock yards
today. Altogether there were nearly
10000 animals on view. This is said
to be the largest gathering Of tho
roughbred animals ever exhibited in
q bIooded stock show. While there
was large crowd of spectators, on
hand for the opening today, it IS
thought a still larger throng will at
tend the show during the coming week.
The exhibition will continue every day
until Dec. Q.

HAWLEY CHURCH
BOARD THANKFUL

The following Gard of Thanks and
Appreciation to the Rev Fl. +. Buh-
Ter" was submitted fer publication by
the board of Hawley Memorial church,
which Mr. BUTLER served so we'll:
THE conference year which has just
been brought to a close at Hawiey
Memorial church will long be pleas
ant memory.
Great things have happened dur
ing the past year, things that we once
thought to be impossible were made
possible.
1--WE regret very much having to
give up our earnest and efficient pas
tor, which is indeed great loss to our
church and TO the whole of Pine Bluff.
However, we are truly thankful for
the blessed privilege of having such
an earnest and enthusiastic worker
as Brother BGhler for our pastor, even
though it was for only one short year.
The inspiration that came to many of
us during his short stay viii last thru
out the ages.
MAY we not lose sight of these
beautiful words: IT is more blessed to
give than to receive To us it is in
deed loss, but to others a gain. We
have accomplished great things at
Hawley this year through the leader
ship of Rev. BUTLER. When he came
to us we had no league worth mention
ing, we now have the best league in
Pine Bluff for which Brother Butler
deserves much credit
eve all join together in wishing
him much happiness and prosperity in
his new field.
"We are now ready to extend to our
new pastor a warm reception, and are
sure that we can do even greater
things in the future, because we have
been taught to do big things.
"T. L. CULPEPPER.
chairman of Board, Hawley Mem
orial Church"

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

may deposit with the company }
per cent of his annual pay, prov1d-
ing this sum does not exceed $3.50.
Anticipation in the earnings Of the
company will be based on the
amount of pay deposited by the
employee. Deposits are made with
board which consists of an equal
number of the members of the cor
porate organization and employees
This year more than one-half mil
lion dollars will be discussed among
employees who, through habits OF
thrift, have earned their right to
participate therein.
AS we are on the threshold of
new year, it is an excellent time for
employers of labor to give thought
to plans for helping their workmen
acquire thrifty habits. In this con-
nection, we are reminded OF
statement made by the late James
!. Hill, who said: Thrift is not a
virtue of tomorrow, but of today.
The young man who puts off until
he is earning a larger income in the
effort to save and accumulate is
pretty sure never to begin, unless
under the pressure of misfortune.
It is literally true that only begin
ming is difficult"
We are told of man in Mime
apo1is who started three years ago
to save only nickels with a buffalo
head on them. Recently he pur-
chased an automobile with the sum
thus saved. Possibly he did not
practice thrift in purchasing the
car, bat his ingenious method of
saving is commendable.

The Hague, Jan. 2s.-Henry Ford's
peace mission failed for lack of
faith" According to his own state
ment faith was Ford's sole stock when
those who accompanied him, with
few exceptions appear to have had but
little.
Those of the party who really wish
ed the expedition well were so bitter
ly hated that an effort was made to
maroon a number of them at the first
European port touched. Fords plan,
as nearly as it is possible to put so
intangible a thing on paper, was to
give the warning nations mental sci
ence treatment. Ford himself at the
outset had unboundcd faith in his
ability. Despite the statement at
tributed TO him that he intended to
get the boys out of the trenches by
Christmas" he did not count on i'm
mediately ending the war.
What Ford did believe was that he
could make a dent" by gathering
bout him a whole ships company,
hitting the members minds on one
big thought of peace" and continually
adding to the volume and intensity of
his thought as he and his crusaders
travelled from neutral country to neu-
tral country. on the edge of the zone
. of war, or even in the zone its If
Quarrcled Constantly.
Whether this palm would have sue
ceeded under favorable circumstances
can't be stated, because the peace dele
gates failed to concentrate on thoughts
of peace. The Oscar lis voyage from
New York to Chrstiania was horrible,
not so much because of the incessa mt
quarreling as on account of the atmos-
phere of suspicion and malice after the
first day-oF two out.

PARSONS To STAY
Chief of Police Has RecOnSid-
cred His Plan to Resign.
Mayor and Friends Prevail on
Him to Keep Place.

H. G Parsons, chief Of police, has
been prevailed upon by friends to con-
tinue on the job, even without an in
crease in salary, and he will not re-
sign.
A week ago, after Mayor ]. E.
House had exhausted every resource
in an attempt to increase Parsons's
salary without violating the law. Par
sons wrote the mayor a letter in which
he asked for a vacation in which to
look for another job. The mayor took
the matter up again and went over the
state law and city ordinances, in an
effort to find some way out. When
everything else failed the mayor tried
to talk Parsons out of the notion of
resigning. Friends came to his res
cue and among them they persuaded
Parsons to reconsider.
One thing Parsons is interested in
as much as an increase for himself
is an increase for the patrolmen and
1t is not improbable that some assur-
ances were given him that the patrol
men might receive an increase before
the year is out.
