sion. Prohibition must be retained. Race-track gambling must not even be mentioned. The man who introduces a bill proposing it should not be al lowed to have a single favor. He should be ostracized. Our educational interests should receive the highest consideration. Measures that will bring in factories and improve trans portation and agriculture should be passed, and rational and equitable revenue system be devised There is hope now for all these things. The political atmosphere is clearing.-Ar- kansas Methodist.

4 WORD FOR MOTHERS

It is grave mistake for mothers to neg lect their aches and pains and suffer in silence-this only leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life.
 Ityour work is tiring; if your nerves are excitable; if you feel languid, weary or depressed, you should know that Scott's Emulsion overcomes just such conditions. It possesses in concentrated form the very elements to invigorate the blood, strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves and build strength.
 Scott's is strengthening thousands of mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.

HENDRIX BASEBALL
 PROSPECTS BRILLIANT
PITCHING STAFF ESPECIALLY STRONG-MANY NEW
 MEN.

That Hendrix College this year will have the best baseball team in it's history is the belief of those who have taken an inventory of the ma terial with which Coach w. NJ. Head rick will have to work. The hurling staff will be unusually strong, two veterans, Edward McCuistion and Jimmie Wahl, and Bennie Mayo of Searcy, last year a star hurler in the Eastern Arkansas league, forming the neucleus
 McCUistion is a right handler and a speed merchant and has as much headwork as any pitcher in the state. His slants are hard to touch. His ability to pole the pill is big asset. When not in the box Eddie will prob ably play in the field. Wahl is a port slider, and a good one. Last year was his first in college baseball, but he made good. The coach believes he will develop into real star. Mayo is not an unknown quantity, having made a great record the past summer, pitch ing in the Eastern Arkansas league. His breakers look like bird seed to op- posing batters. He probably is the best of the trio. Several other young sters will be given a tryout by the coach.
 Flynn Owen, for three years a member of the Bulldogs pitching staff, will not be in school after the first semester.
 Ross Mccormack and Jimmie Ham ilton, last year with Fordyce high school, will fight it out for the re- ceiver's berth. Both are good catch CTS, and it is likely that they will divide honors.
 Haygood, a veteran and Simmons, ! last year with a team in the Little Rock City league, are aspirants for the initial sacker's position Several others also may try for this place. ! The second and third base and shortstop berths are expected to be filed by 'Piggie' Sinclair, Dudley Hutchinson and Shappard Tanner, respectively .Piggieo and Hutch are old timers at Hendrix. while Snap pard gained an enviaole reputation at Conway high last year. They are plenty capable of taking care ol the positions to which they aspire.
 he outee garden candidates who look the most promising are Thomas Johnston and Dub Harrison, vet erans, and Lee Culpepper and Ney- CTS, new men.
 i Only 9 partial schedule has been completed. The season will open at Conway with a series of three games with the University of Arkansas the latter part of March. Return games will be played with Arkansas, but the dates have not been agreed upon. A trip to Texas, when Southwestern University of Georgetown, Coach Bills alma mater, and Austin College of sherman, will be played. Games also will be played with Henderson Brown and Ouachita colleges of Ar kadelphia, the State Normal School of Conway, Arkansas College of Batesville and probably with Cumber- land College of Clarksville.
 Practice rehearsals will be started the latter part of February.

WAY OF THE GUTTER.

The world has little use for a quit ter. The fellow who starts and backs out because the creek is up. The tel- low that promises to saw wood for you Wednesday, discovers about nine o'clock there is a screw loose in the end of his saw, and sends you word Saturday that he could not come. The fellow who starts to trim the hedge, blisters his hands and decides to let it go until spring.
 The boy who goes racing through his school books until he strikes par ticiples and compound fractions, then wants to quit school and get a job. The girl who starts out to be a great musician and learns just enough to play rag-time to beguile the fancies of some young saphead.
 There is big family of these quit ters, but they are all sorry lot. They never want a job that takes time and patience.
 With the qualifications of bill poster they would like to earn the salary of a railroad president. Their ideal is job that requires only two hours of easy labor each day with Saturdays and holidays off.
 You will find them scattered all up and down the road of human failure, always turning back from the handle of the blow, always complaining of their lot and the unfairness of the world.
 They are clogs in the wheels, brok- en rails on the road, time-killers; pa tience-killers, forever wanting what they have not deserved.
 The only people who accomplish things in this world are those who qualify themselves in spite of bad crops, high water and measles. Who hang on to the work until failure turns to victory, whose courage rises as difficulties thlcken, and whose faces are forever toward the rising sun.
 It was bad plan, that of the h. dians, flinging their boys into the riv- CT where they had to swim or drown. The best thing any parent can do for his child is to compel him to finish what he undertakes. Keep his at it, and no matter how much he cries and objects, make him do the thing he started to do And the best thing any boy or girl can do is to do this very thng without being made to do 1t.
 Success is good deal in habit. There is not much difference between failure and success. Simply one quits and the other does not-Ex. Pnrp,1,Io How cola phnnp

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
CalOmel is Quicksilver and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and ne.
lieve you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
/ Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; 1t loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give 1t to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

eases affecting the cherry has been
outlined by the Pennsylvania station,
For the dormant spray in spring, be-
fore buds start, lime-sulphur is used. II

tract, half to threefourths pint to fifty
gallons, is used for aphis and leaf spot
Lead arsenate paste, three pounds. Is
added for curculio, slugs and red leaf
beetle.
When fruit is the size Of a small pea

very bad a coarse spray of lead arsen-
ate, three pounds, and molasses, one
