"If yos are 10 help the people OF
your rural communities, in the most

J. II. Miller, dean of the Univer.
slty of Arkansas agricultural extern
sion department, in his address to
the county agricultural agents OF
the south Arkansas district, who
met at Fordyce recently.
"The highest kind OF progress
cannot be made by our continual
pouring in of valuable informa'
ton, but rather by helping people
to work out their own problems
through organized effort with our
assistance. The farmer must learn

himself. One of the best ways for
farmers to reach this appreciation
of themselves is through organized
activities and through neighborhood
associations for community service,
for helping others rather than mere
ly helping themselves.
"a farmers club or community

II was the above little plank that
inspired Gov. Ferguson Of Texas 10
mount the platform In the Coliseum
and read a minority report withhold.
Ing the party support from the ladies
who want the vote. That the Demo
cratic party should scorn tbs political
e1igencies OF the situation and defy
the ~ western states in which women
vote was the burden Of his argument.
Sharing the same opinion with him
were C. L. Bartlett OF Georgia,
Stephen b. Fleming Of Indiana and
Jim" Nugent OF New Jersey, the old
time enemy Of President Wilson. This
trio signed the minority report with
the Texan.
Lined up against Gov. Ferguson.
who acted as spokesman for the mi
nority, were Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, Senator Pittman of Nevada and
Senator Walsh OF Montana.
Senator Walsh did not mince mat
tiers in his argument for the adoption
Of the suffrage plank. He stated plain
ly the adoption OF the plank was
necessary as a matter Of political ex-
pediency, adding that the present
political situation in this country was
a condition and not a theory.
The states in which women vote
control 81 votes in the electoral col
lege," he said, adding significantly,
every political party has declared for
fFVso In tHFau ~
II becomes a simple question whether
you will incur the enmity Of these
women.
Now, my friends" he continued,
"as late as 1907 there were but two
states west of the Missouri river that
returned Democratic senators and now
we have Is of them. The question is,
are you ready to surrender the 10
votes you have in the United States
senate and turn them over to your
political enemiesr
In conclusion, Senator Walsh said
that he revealed no secret when he
said President Wilson knew all about
the suffrage plank.
The president believes It vital to
his success that 1t stay in the plat
FORM" he said. Il ask you in all the
fervor of my soul, who is there wiser
or more patriotic than he?'
Following Senator Walsh's speech,
Gov. Ferguson was allowed five min
utes for rebuttal The vote was then
taken and his minority report voted
down, after which the original suf-
frage plank, as approved by the reso-
lutions committee was unanimously
adopted.
The Women Delegates.
The presence OF the 15 women dele
gates at the Democratic convention
not only added color to the affair, but
changed the views of a number Of the
men delegates on the subject of po-
litical activity for women. For the
women delegates were a fine, whole
some-looking lot and they fought just
as enthusiastically for the best inter
ests of the party as the men.
Three of them, Miss Mary E. Foy
of California, Mrs. T. S. Talliaferro
of Wyoming and Mrs. W. \. Harris
of Kansas, spoke before the resolu.
tions committee in favor of the suf-
frage plank which the National Amer

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufieffrers TO Eat
Less Meat and Take salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
To ure, states a well known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty Of good awter.
Rheumatism is a direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores Of the skin are also L
means Of freeing the blood of this i'm
purity. In damp and chilly cold
v Gather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate the uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twings OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week, This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus Kidding the blood
n these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by.
Thousands OF folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pelas-
ant efervescent Iithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial TO your kidneys as well.
