Get ON SAFETY STREET
Arkansas Farmers Must Get On A Cash
Basis To Be Independent.

Money is flowing into Arkansas
and the farmers and the merchants
Of the state are more prosperous
than they have been for years
Arkansas people never were as free
from having to depend on foreign
capital. Our farmers and local mer-
chants are now in a better position
to claim their independence than
ever before. We bave gotten ahead,
let's stay ahead" says Robert E.
Wait, Secretary Of Arkansas Bank
ers' Association.
Get on safety street now. Save
enough money Of this years profits
to make next years crop. Every
Arkansas farmer should spend only
his surplus money and this, as far
as possible, for Arkansas products
sold by Arkansas merchants. Our
merchants have q reputation 10
maintain, they will be here next
season and they want your trade
Cash always means a discount. Pay
cash; they will treat you right Get
together.
Lets keep our prosperity al
home. Prosperous farmers make
prosperous towns and prosperous
towns increase land values and
make wealthy farmers. A bank
account makes the prosperous farm
er independent, Every farmer IL
the state should have q bank ac'
count. Our people should plat
ahead; they should pay cash fol
what they need at present and banl
their surplus money until sprint
when they can draw 1t out In install
ments to pay cash for what the,
need as they 90. Bankers Of the
state will give interest on deposits
Surplus money should be earninl
interest instead Of lying Idle.
! Mr.. Wait says further, "Arkansa
farmers must Get on q cash basis

SWAT THE PEDDLER
Arkansas Suffering FROM Infestation
Of Agents And Peddlers.

Arkansas now has an infestation
almost as bad as the boil weevil in
the shape of all sot, Of peddlers al d
agents. People should not be fool
ed by these smooth toneued fellows
who offer to sell on the iDstallment
plan. Their goods are inferior to
the GOODS sold in our home stores
for the same money and our home
merchants sell with a guarantee
that Is worth something. In one
county ten stove agents" swooped
down and in one week sold two
hundred and sixty stoves at eighty
five dollars and the manager Dragged
about 1t and admitted that his men
told two lies to start with: That II
was the best stove, and that 1t was
cheap at eiehty.fve dollars. In
fact, It was proved to be inferior in
quality to the thirty dollar stove
handled in that county seat town.

Cows And Heifers

There are still too many cows and
heifers being sold out of Arkansas,
This is a loss that cannot be regain
ed. The world Is facing a meat
famine and every possible effort
should be made to stop the sale
and shipment Of cows and heifers.
Farmers can well afford to make
extra efforts to Oct feed and pusture
for the winter and keep their cows
They will BRING good money next
sprine or next fall. Every farmer
should buy more calves and cows
to Keep over to nett the better
me fket next spring

year.
| All licenses issued under the act
are good for one year from date of
issue, not until January 1st, as un-
der the old local option law.
After whiskey license have been
issued there can be no other vote
on the question for a period OF two
wears. But we would call the read
er's attention to the fact that under
the law an election can be had ev-
cry sixty days until whiskey is vot-
ed in the county. Thus the voter
is given an opportunity only once
in two years to put whiskey out OF
the county, but can be permitted an
opportunity each sixty days to put
whiskey in the county.
The manufacture of whiskey is
authorized in any county that
votes for license. The manufacture
and sale of native wine and brandy
is made legal in any county that
votes for license.
If Act No. lis adopted by the
people in the general election all
laws and parts of laws in conflict
with the provisions of that act are
repealed. That means that the
work of real local option for the
past forty years will be set at
naught and the state will be in the
clutches of the liquor traffic more
securely than for any period in that
length Of time. That means that
every special act on the statute
books prohibiting the sale Of liquor
near churches, schools and colleges
| in all sections Of the state will be
swept out Of existence at one blow
and these places threatened with
the sale Of whiskey through vote
of the entire county. And yet those
who are attempting to foist Act No.
2 upon the people of Arkansas have
the temerity to call it a local option
act.
1t is hard to conceive of a means
through which the people could at
this time take a more backward or
more hurtful step than by endors-
ing Act No. 2. There is no need
for any voter to be deceived. Act
No. 2 is not a local option measure,
except as county option provides
saloons. 1t is not seeking to cor
rect the evils that arise from the
liquor traffic. 1t is seeking to null
tiply these evils a hundred fold. 1t
is not seeking to increase the pub
lie revenues. It Is seeking to in
crease the revenues Of the whiskey
traffic at the expense of the private
revenues of thousands Of citizens.
The statewide prohibition law
has been enforced In Arkansas
with a greater degree OF success
than was anticipated by many peo-
pie at the time the law was passed.
1t ought to be remembered that no
law is observed perfectly In every
instance. We have a law against
burglary, yet that fact does not de.
ter every man from committing
burglary. We have a law against
murder, yet that fact does not pre-
vent the taking of a human life ev-
cry now and then, So 1t is with
the statewide prohibition law. That
law will continue TO be violated,
but that fact Is not a sound areu-
ment for the repeal Of the law. No
sane man would want to repeal the
law against burglary because some
body robs house, or the law
against murder because one mar
kills another,
The statewide prohibition bill has
the endorsement Of business men
all over the state, who say that
business Is better since the saloons
we're closed, Il has the endorse.
