FARMERS SHOULD GET
ON SAFETY STREET
Deposit Surplus Money in Bank
And Help Keep Arkansas
Prosperity in Arkansas.

Money is flowing into Ark
ansas and the farmers andmer-
chants of the state are more
prosperous than they have been
for years. Arkansas people
never were as free from hav-
ing to depend upon foreign
capital. Our farmers and local
merchants are now in a better
position to claim their indie
pendence than ever before.
We have gotten ahead, now,
lets stay ahead.
Get on Safety Street now.
Save enough of this years pro-
fits 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 mer-
chants have a reputation to
maintain, they will be here
next season and they wantyour
trade. Cash always means a
discount. Pay cash; they will
treat you right. Get together.
Let's keep our prosperity at
home. Prosperous farmers make
prosperous towns increase land
values and make wealthy far
mers. A bank account makes
the prosperous farmer indie
pendent. Every farmer in the
state should have a bank ac-
count. Our people should plan
ahead; they should pay cash
for what they need at present
and bank their surplus money
until spring when they can
draw it out in installments to
pay cash for what they need as
they go. Bankers Of the state
will pay interest on deposits.
Surplus money should be earn
ing interest instead of lying
idle.
Arkansas farmers must get
on a cash basis if they are to
be Independent and safe. Ark
ansas will not have a general
and permanent prosperity until
all farmers are able to pay
cash for all living and farm eX-
penses for all the year.

CALOMEL SAL|VATES

liver and you lose a
days work.

There's no reason why person should
take siekening, salivating calomel when
80 cents buys large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and
can not salivate
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose days work Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and Won will wake up feeling great.
No more biliousness. constipation, slug
rishness, headache. coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
