Beware Of Makina Promises.

The habit Of promising tends TO
weaken the will. 1t gives false and
transient kind of strength which is,
essentially, Weakness The men that
promise easily are certain to be easy
breakers Of promises. But how about
people who sign pledge or, under cir
cumstances Of dire extremity, promise
to reform in some other way? There
are many instances where by such
means characters have been reformed
for life, True, indeed, but the very ex-
tremity Of the situation operates as O
stimulus here. The promise lifts them
out Of themselves and enables them
to reach another plane. TO stay there
requires, Of course, persistent effort Of
will extending over d long period. One
victory Of tliis kind unquestionabIy
leads TO other victories. But the proc
ess Is slow and very different from the
promise-making which through repeat
ed failure becomes an indulgence, like
vice.

The second indictment contains two
counts against each man. The first
gives the details of an alleged trans
action in which the State Bank of
Little Rock, Ark, is said to have been
defrauded of $50 ,626. 80, which should
have been turned over to cover notes
the bank held against W. e. Talley of
Little Rock. The Indictment charges
the funds obtained on collateral
amounting to this sum were paid to
companies in which the officers of the
trust company were stockholders,
partners or sole owners.
The second count specifiesan alleged
transaction in which the trust COM
pany undertook to assume securities
of the State Bank of Arkansas which
had been objected to by the bank ex-
aminer. These securities totaling
$216, ,55331, were to be turned into
cash and available securities, the
trust company to receive $4,000 COM
mission for the work.
OF this amount only S175 ,006.57 was
turned over to the bank, it is charged.
and the trust company asked for time
on the remaining 5,546.74 on the
plea they had taken upon themselves
heavy burden to protect the State
Bank from failure.
The story of how the Bankers Trust
Company, organized with a capita
stock of $500, 900, was inflated to the
point where the capitalization was in
creased to $2,500, 900, is told in one in
dictment. According to the informa-
ton in the hands of the government
money was borrowed to pay dividends
amounting to 20 per cent annually
which bolstered the stock to 5000 pei
share.
The report upon the standing OF tht
company and its securities were mail
ed in letters, circulars and advertise
ments, it is charged, and on thii
point, the officers will be prosecuted
through the federal statutes.

afternoon when ]. H. Lucy's store

a granary belonging to Sid Leeper, F.
S. Chiffon & Company's barn, an oil
house, implement sheds and other

The fire originated in Yates & Me-
Clure's barn. Some boys who were
playing about the barn sounded the
alarm. 1t is thought that the boys
were smoking and that some of them
dropped lighted match, which ignit-
ed the hay. The barn contained about
/ 500 bushels of corn and a quantity
of hay. Mr.. Lucy's barn, and that OF
F. S. Chiffon & Co., also contained a

I was called home from st. Louis by

all sick from measles. Now that ev-

got along so very nicely, and that we
shall not in future be troubled about
an attack of measles, which most
people so much dread.

An trenton Interview.
MIR. Hendley Tells His Experience,

The following brief account of an
interview with an Ironton man over
nine years ago, and its sequel, will be
read with keen interest by every
citizen.
j. Hendley, photographer, Ironton,
says: 81 was feeling run down and
had sharp twinges and weakness
across the small of my back. My
kidneys often acted irregularly.
When I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills, made up my mind to try them
and got supply at the Arcadia VAL
ley Drug Co. They made a wonder
full improvement and since using
them, have felt no signs of back
ache or otner kidney disorder"
Mr.. Hendley gave the above state
ment in Decembe 1906, and on July
II, 1916, he added: 81 have very little
bother with my kidneys now. Others
of my family have also used Doan's
Kidney Pills with satisfactory re-
suits.

Use More Printers, Ink.

Leslie's: Publicity! If big business
would be understood by the public 1t
should set it's merits before the people
in the advertising columns of popular
publications. This is the suggestion
of Ivy Lee. publicity manager for the
Rockefeller Foundation, and man
of wide experience in publicity work.
This is exactly in line with the recon-
mendation of Rudolph Guenther, who
advises legitimate financial institIi-
tions and brokers to use printers ink
more liberaly and not to leave the
field to those who are classed as I'M
scrupulous promoters and dishonest
brokers' The latter has been per-
mitted too long to monopolize the
publicity stage. Mr.. Guenther sug-
gests that the time has come to adj
vertise legitimate securities and to
take the field away from those who
have been promoting illegitimate
ones, for he says: Nothing was ever
yet sold since the world began until
someone had learned that it could be
bought! Every investor should be
taught that a dollar applied to the
purchase of good security is dol
lar used periodically. since capital is
essential to our national growth.
Brokers should use printers ink, not
to attract men of millions, but mil
lions Of men," Truer words were

WAS OF SOME USE.

The Disappearance of the progressive party
in Missouri is shown by the figures Of the re-
cent primary election in that state. Joseph
Fontron, nominee for governor, and three noml-
,nees for minor state Offices on the moose ticket
received 900 votes each. Of these seventy
three were cast in jackson county, which gave
Roosevelt more than 10000 plurality in 1872.
Many of the Missouri counties did not cast
progressive vote at the late primary. 1t there
is any moral to be drawn from the disappear
ance of the progressive vote in Missouri and IN
other states, it will not be one that figures to
the disadvantage of Mr. Roosevelt's personal
party. While it lived it spread an Influence
for some good, and that influence is manifest to
marked degree in the turn about on some ques-
tons shown by the old political organizations
