The Great Modern Fool.

The fool Is one who has an impedi- nent in his thought. It is not, as the modern fellows say. prejudice put there by his grandmother. I have wandered over the world (so to speak, trying to find some faithful, simple soul who really believed in his own grandmother. He does not exist. The first act of the fool. when he is articu- late, is to teach his grandmother how to suck eggs. Fools have no rever- ence. Fools have no humility. The impeachment in the thought of the great modern fool (for in this department we have beaten all other epochs) con- sists in the fact that his head has found room for one idea. It is . very modern idea. It is. if you like, . very large idea. But it is a very small head. The stopper fits the brain a stopper fits a bottle. And when you have really put in the stopper. the brain stops.-G. K. Chester in Life.

Among the Farmers

Henry Move, who has one of the prettiest farms southeast of Brinkley said to the ARGUS man Wednesday, ''The hog cholera has been abated in my neighbor- hood but it is next to impossible to stamp it out since our people refuse to burn the carcasses of hogs that die with cholera. Crops in our section are needing rain real bad. Corn is suffering"
 Jake Wallace, who now lives east of Monroe, was in Brink ley Wednesday and says pros- poets are fine for crops.
 J. H. Waldrop, who lives northwest of Brinkley said, What on earth are the Brink ley people thinking of to sit idly and allow the Bayou road and ] bridge to go to pieces as it is do- ing? There is $60, 900 or $75. 900 of Dark Corner cash that would be spent with Brinkley mer- chants this fall if the Dark Corner people could only get to Brinkley."
 I've been farming in Mon- roe county for many years and have made crops in the Holly Grove region where they say land is so fine, but I have never made as fine crop in my life as 1 now have on the l.. K. Brown farm 2 miles south of Brinkley" said K. A. Riner. The ARGUS man walked all over Mir. Riners crop on Tues day and l am about to say that it is the most per- feet crop of cotton, corn and sweet potatoes, in Monroe county. Pm going to visit a few more crops l have been hearing of during the next few days and will give my opinion in the July 21st issue of the ARGUS. If you know of an extra fine crop, I'd like to have you direct me to it that I may judge it be. fore I write. So far Farmer Riner's crop is in the lead.

 Just south of Edgewood farm is the "Davy Crockett Ranch"- the Strickler old place. MT Crockett has it in rice again this year and it is one of the finest crop prospects on the whole trip.

Auto Owners Attention

s
 Automobile owners need the newly patented sanitary brush or washer to use on hose when washing your car of dust and mud without damaging the var nish or finest finish. This wash CT is made of extra strong horse hair firmly set in twisted wire, galvanized to prevent rusting. The hair is very thick just stiff enough to reach and dislodge every particle of dust that settles in grain of wood or sticks tight to varnish-yet so soft that it will not scratch the varish. The hair will not break. pull loose or work loose from the twisted wire in which it is set. The nozzle is splidly~-buAt of brass, is 'nop.,u$ $tipe and with ever lasting" wearing qualities, pro- vided with a non-detachable screw arrangement that regu- lates the force of the stream. It's the trick" for car owners.

I am inclined to believe that the boy and girl who marry too early cheat their lives of a very happy period to which every human being is entitled. asserts . writer in the Woman's Home Companion. We live only once; every period of life Is good, and should be enjoyed to the utmost. We have 8 right to . carefree childhood. and g happy school life.

Little Rock News Letter

Speaking of Roosevelt: His followers in Arkansas still swear by him. That is why the Pro- gressive Party, which this writ CT has previously spoken of as the Party of Disintegration, is going to pieces upon the rocks of his declination address. There is no more Progressive Party in the state. It's demise has not been officially announced, but the post mortem is being held by it's former members, and their re- luctant verdict is, ''Slain in house of it's friends" The Bill Moose. the last of it's race, has died of mal-nutrition. His feverish pro- testation of continuing virility in the the Auditorium at Chicago the week of June 5, were his last trumpet call to his mate. On June 26 the coup de grace was administered at Oyster Bay, and now the Bull Moose becomes only a a relic of the past in museum of the political Zoo.
 The former members of the Progressive Party in Arkansas are returning to their original allegiances. The Republicans are again republicans, and an- nouncing their support 0 If Hughes; the Democrats are sup porting Wilson, and so the balance between the two old parties has been re-established upon the rulns of what its pro- motors had fondly hoped might one day become a dominant party.
 The time in which initiative petitions may be filed expired this week. There has not been the usual appeal to this direct system of legislation this year Outside of the three proposed amen dments, the; only measures to be submitted to the people al the November election are tht repeal of the statewide prohibi tion law and the enactment o1 the Pure Primary Bill.
 Some interesting fights art promised on some of these measures.

Brundidge, will take thu stump for it. There is no deny ing the fact, however, that thu opposite will be more or les' formidable.
 Governor Hays and the officers of the Guard have been besieget by parents and others for thu discharge of boys under eighteen years of age who have enlisted under false pretense. Gov Hays invariably refers all these and similar requests to the military authorities. In the case of minors enlisting, the parents and guardians have been put upon notice that if they will make an affidavit that the re. cruit is under eighteen, he vii be discharged dishonorably from the service, and will be subject to prosecution for perjury. Few have thought it wise to adopt the alternative.

Say, Mir. ARGUS man, do you know that there isn't a bridge between Brinkley and the Phillips county line south of Blackton.
