Why a Silver Service?

A silver service is an emblem of peace. It represents the good will and good deeds of the donor and the worthiness of the recipient. It is the cementing of national and state ties-a union of land and sea.
 It is made of pure silver and its decorations are emblematic of the history, the art, and the commerce of the state. A silver service then becomes travelling monument to a state instead of a stationary one, t carries into foreign ports the artistic creation.ol-.a.e spirit of the state. It is a gift in which all may unite. and is the most beautiful. the most useful. and the most lasting.

Announcement Of
 Oscar H. Wilson,
For Delegate to Constitutional
 Convention.

To the Voters of Franklin County;
 You will select two candidates at the Primary election to be held Saturday April 14th, 1917, as the nominees of the dem ecratic party for delegates from the 9th Congressional District of { Arkansas.
 Oscar H. Wilson of Russell vile, Pope County, is a candidate for delegate to this convention. He is a successful business man and planter and has never be- fore sough political preferment, yet he has taken great interest in municipal and State affairs.
 He has became a candidate for this important position by petitions and urgent solicitation of friends and acquaintances who know his worth and fitness for the position, and as should be in all political position, he thinks the office should seek the man and not the man the office.
 He is a graduate both in literaryssand business and has a keen insight in state affairs and knows things that are best adapted to the future welfare of the State.
 He says, it is wise that men learned in the law should be among the delegates but there are other questions that will a. rise and the Convention should not be composed entirely of lawyers. The farmer, the wage i earner, and other lines of business should be represented. II started as q wage earner, and so far am the only business man from this District who has announced for delegate at large"
 There are eight counties in this district. Three candidates for delegate at large. Two candid. ates from Little Brock, and he thinks in all fairness, the other seven counties are entitled to one delegate.
 The Holloway -Wagoner Bill which requires all candidates for delegate to file or publish in some news paper their corpora tion connections has nQsT applica- tion to him as he does not own any stock in or represent any corporation.
 He is a graduate of Webb School of Bellbuckle, Tenn, and of Eastman, S Business Collage of New York and is AT years of age.
 He believes the people want q new constitution, providing the instrument when written is not too conservative and not too radical. All the amendments already adopted he thinks should be incorporated in the New Con- stitution. He is in favor of in- cooperating in the New Con- stitution the amendment to the Old Constitution declaring the Holiord Bonds fraudulent and prohibiting the levying of any tax or making an appropriation to pay same.
 He is in favor of good roads, favors provision prohibiting the liquor traffic, the initiative and referendum. woman's suf- frage. His candidacy has been endorsed by the Central Trades Council of Russellyille, And believes the interest of the tolling masses should be protected, for as the people are, so is the government.

To The Citizens Of
 Franklin County

! Liao llACd ApilI Ii, lJII, IoI lIOiu- ing primaries in Franklin county to express the choice of the paYty in this county for county and congressional candidates to the Constitutional Convention, to be elected at the election to be held June 26th, 1917.
 The law gives Franklin county two delegates to the Constitu- tional Convention. When that distinguished lawyer and esteem ed citizen, Hon w. w. Mans field, whom we elected from Franklin county a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1874. returned home from that convention he was given a grand reception by his fellow citizens and his speech on that occasion said. We have adopted a consti- tuition that will protect the rights, safeguard the interests and serve the needs of the State of Arkansas, for fifty years. v As a matter of sentiment, 1 would have been glad If we had waited seven more years to sub- init a new constitution to the people to be voted on.
 It is futile now to discuss whether 1t Is wise or expedient, in view of our financial burdens. and wise provisions in the con- stitutlon itself to correct any want of adoption to growth and expansion of the state. to frame a new constitution. Whatever may have been our individual views of the necessity of new constitution, we are now con. fronted with the fact that new constitution will be prepared by the convention and submitted to the electors of the State for their approval or rejection. l sincerely believe the State will be fortunate under present con- titions If the convention can frame a constitution as states manlike. as free from selfish ln- terests and as wholly conse- crated to the rights of the cltl- zen. as the constitution of 1874.
 The various interests will in- wade the convention seeking re- cognition and profit. Among which may be mentioned the whiskey interests. the levy in- terests, the insurance interests, the municipal interests, the bank ing interests, the foreign corpo- ration interests, the Holford bond holders S interests and many others.
 favor as soon as the conven- tion is organized, the adoption of the Fishback amendment, and all other amendments in the pre- sent constitution, and all that part of the constitution of 1874 that safeguards the rights of the people, into the new consti- tuition.
 favor provision prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in this state.
 1 favor a four years tenure of state officers with prohibition of succession, or running for other state offices while holding office. l favor a restriction of power of municipal corporations to is- sue bonds except to the amount of safe per cent of value of improvements. 1 favor weeding out a number of our public of fees and combining others. 1 favor provision in the Constitu- tion prohibiting the legislature from wasting over half of it's time in the consideration of local bills.
 If l am your choice shall de- vote all my time, and whatever ability l may possess to assist in

To The Voters Of
 Franklin County

In announcing my candidacy for the Democratic nomination as a delegate to the Constitution al Convention. to be held next November, I do so with a full realization of the fact that per haps not since the framing of our present constitution, in 1874, has a body assembled in this State upon whose shoulders rests so much responsibility and in whose hands. to so large an eX- tent, has been placed the future destiny of the great State of Ar kansas. l regret very much that the shortness of time will not permit a full discussion and presentation of the issues to the people but as it will be impos- slble for me to get around and see the people as would like to, 1 take this means of briefly mak- ing known my views on some of the matters that will likely come before the convention.
 In the first place, 1 believe that in the main Arkansas has an excellent constitution written by men who knew and under. stood Arkansas and had her best interests at heart, and 1 am in favor of adopting ira any consti- tuition that may be written all of those splendid princi .)les; and believe that within a few days the convention should make a few needed changes and adjourn and go back home.
 am heartily in favor of 2 pro- vision in the constitution that will prohibit the legislature from considering or passing any local measures affecting only certain communities and localities, when those matters can be settled a great deal cheaper and with lot more satisfaction by the affected. who know more about their own needs than any State legislature.
 favor the legislature meeting only once every four years. This is often enough. and it will mean a direct saving to the tax payers of some $2OO, 0OO.00 every two years. 1 also believe that State and County officers should be elected for a term of four years and not be permitted to become a candidate for reelection. or for any other office, during their term. This will save Arkansas anywhere from Sl50, % to S200. 900. % every two years and will give US better and more ef- ficient service upon the party of our officers as we'll as removing lot of politics from the admin istration of public affairs.
 l favor and shall urge the ad- option of a clause that will ab- solutely prohibit the legislature from approprating from the State Treasury any more money for any period of time than the justly estimated revenue and in- come of the State for the period of time. This provision alone will save the State millions of dollars in useless and extrava- gant appropriations. and keep the State from continually being plunged into debt. l am one of those who believe that our texes are high enough to run this State government in the manner in which it should be run. and that taxes can be materially de- creased so far as the average tax payer is concerned if we can catch the big tax dodger. which l believe this constitution can be so framed as to do.
 l believe also that we have too many State officers. appointed by the Governor, who receive large salaries for a very small outlay of work. think several

How It Struck Him.

An Atlanta man tells Of a trip on
a limited train that was tearing mad
ly along through the darkness. Sud
denly the engineer sprang to the
lever and set the brakes; the sparks
flew from the rails as the locked
wheels slid along; the lights were
extinguished as two or three cars
toppled from the rails. Then Their
came a silence more OminOus than all.
Certain of the passengers made
torches from bits of Wreckage and
began a search for the dead and in
jured. From one pile of debris there
emanated a sound suspiciOusly like
a snore, and soon there was dragged
from among mass Of twisted iron {
slumbering porter.
"Merciful heavens, man. exclaim-
ed one of the passenger, didn't you
know there has been wreck"
II shore felt sOmethin', gents" said
the porter, but | kinder thought we

SEEING MOTION PICTURES
Some advice ON How To Avoid Suffer-
ing From Eye Strain.

MANY persons cannot attend mOtlOn
pictures because OF the annoying after
effects on the eyes. Some suffer from
eye strain and others are subject 70
severe headaches. The relief, in most
cases, consists in perfectly fitted
glasses, according to the Popular
Science Monthly. The picture may
not be quite SO sharp, but this IS
more than compensated for by the
increased comfort.
For persons with very sensitive
eyes a cOlOred glass, either amber,
vollOwish green or amethyst may ar-
ford immt 1iate relief. Several Tarle-
ties of colored glass have been put
on the market, and there are SO many
shades available that some suitable
color can be secured. A subdued light
i'm the theater has much less 1rrl-
tating effect than a dark theater
where the only light is reflected from
the screen.
IT is also advisable for those who
are liable to suffer after viewing the
pictures to avoid sitting in place
where it l. necessary to look upward,
as the additional strain becomes very
tiresome and frequently leaves a Sc
we're headache. In the majority OF
cases, however, il glasses are cor
rectly fitted to a person he or she
stands a good chance OF enjoying mo-
ton pictures without any attendant
i'll results.

Landreth is 81 years old. Last
summer, while working in a livery

some whiskey to harvest hands. The
harvest season over, he returned to
his home at Ashland, Nebraska. One
day i'm December United States

Inc was wanted in Kansas for selling
liquor without Government license.
He was not at home at the time and
the marshal didn't return.

some kind OF charge here against
Bill Landreth?"
Across the hall Judge Pollock &C
cepted a plea of guilty and sentenced
Landreth to 80 days in Jail and fined
him 800.

SOLD HEN" RAISES CAIN in DRY
TOWN AND ARRESTS MADE
Harrfsonburg Has Its First Taste OF
the kicking Compound.

Harrisonburg, Jan. 27.-The police
of Harrisonburg made raid on q
house in the northern part Of the city
and discovered 10 gallons of old
hen" the famous drink said to have
been invented by thirsty West Viz
ginians after the State went dry.
This powerful cOncoctiOn will be eX-
amined chemically by experts, VINO
hope to discover the secret OF the
powerful kick it contains.
Two of the manufacturers began
sampling the drink several nights ago
and in the rampage that followed fell
into the hands of the police. One OF
the fellows talked and the raid fol-
lowed.
A dozen young men Of the city got
tastes of old hem and the effect was
marvellous All were bereft temper
arilv of reason and memory.
The police say some of the ingred-
tents are meal, mOlases, alcohol,
yeast, water and bran. 1t is supposed
to set" three weeks; hence the name,
old hen"
These were the first arrests for
drunkenness in HarrisOnburg since
the State went dry on November I.
and it was the first appearance Of
old hen" in Virginia since the ne"
prohibition law became effective.
