 The wound is practically heal ed now and l expect that they will put the arm in a plaster cast soon and that's when the bone healing process com- mences. I imagine tho that the bone is healing somewhat along with the wound. The good treatment continues and that's quite an asSett.

ABOUT FRIENDS WORTH
 WHILE

q want to advance my sub scriptiOn to Jan. 1st. 1920" sait my clever young. farmer frient James G. Allen of Allendale ant when 1 asked him how he liked the paper and he said "wher the mail man brings in the usual bundle of papers EVERY member of the family myself included strives to get the ARGUS out of pile first. It is always the FIRST sought with us"
 Said J. M. Morris, one ot -Keevil townships many pro- gressive farmers as he handed me S2.00 to pay up to 1920, q like your paper. It stands fol something and has been a mighty power for good to Brinkley. Keep up the good work. I noticed what you said about taking off your hat to the Keevil township road commiss- toners. We of Keevil are going to show you some good roads next year. Watch us."
 Of course I will watch these Keevil boosters. There's not a township in all Monroe county that has equaled Keevil in com munity advancement and pro- gress during the past five or six years. They are for good roads good schools etc. I found out by asking that friend Morris together with Jim Mordic the road Overseers in Keevil town ship. Morris for the Pea Ridge District and MOrdic for the Allendale District.
 Said a prominent Clarendon business man as he handed in the coin-'' yes, sir, l like to pay you the money. There's no use of talking you reach the people"
 Said D. H. Smith that clever rice grower of Wheatley T can keep up with the news among the rice growers better tho the ARGUS than any other way as he paid to 1920.
 Said $. c. Hunt. the Hunter phone magnate and clever farmer, ''the ARGUS just found Will James lost animals and Pm

glad of it for l told him that the ARGUS would find lem quicker than any thing else" And friend Hunt is another one of those paid up in advance sub scribers.
 Now this is just the way it is nearly every day. Of course the money as paid by men who take the time to say a kind word is worth more than 100 cents on the dollar.
 No business man who has the faintest idea of the value and importance of presenting his desires and plans to the public thro the newspaper, can read the above statements from pro- minent and successful citizens in the various communities around Brinilley, and not real iZe just what the ARGUS means to them.

AN INTERESTING STORY OF RECOVERING LOST
 ANIMALS.
How the ARGUS Found $15O0
 Worth in one Week Alone.

A heavy set, fine looking man drove up to the Argus office Monday morning and over the cashiers marble slab said, My name is Powell from Fair Oaks-the man you carried an ad for last week. The ad found my span of mules quick, and I thank you for it. You have a wonderful way of reach ing the people" said he, as he cheerfully paid the bill, for the ad that recovered his $500 span of mules.
 Right along with it was the report of w. R. James of Hunt CT who reported that his ad in the ARGUS had found his black horse and bay mule, which had been stolen from near Hunter, and valued at about $400.
 Then came the news of the finding of the fine saddle horse of Henry Shirod, of the Cotton Plant territory. Henry had a. bout given up finding his ani- nal, for he was absolutely pos tive that it had been stolen and ridden out of the country. He came to the ARGUS with but little hope and yet saying as he placed the ad there's not much chance of finding the horse but they tell me in Cotton Plant and Dark Corner that the ARGUS will get the animal if it is living and Pm willing to try it." It was just a few days afterwards that Henry came to the ARGUS office and joyfully i reported that the ARGUS had found the horse 35 miles East of Brinkley over in the St. Francis bottoms.
 This recovery was not much more remarkable than the one few days prior to it in which we recovered for a colored man, a span of animals down on the other side of Marianne.
 When we are able to recover for owners, $1500.00 WORTH of Lost animals in ONE WEEKS TIME, ALONE, it is worthy of the attention of every citizen.
 It shows without shadow of doubt that the people MUST read the ARGUS.
 If it is RESULTS you are seeking, then an ad in the ARGUS will do the work.

wild. This was the night of the day that the armistice was signed. was just thinking of the big celebration that were going on in the states. l was somewhat sore that I had to stay in bed while these good times were going on but I'll soon be able to get up and then Pm going to see a little of this city.
 All the boys are certainly glad that this war is finished and the next big problem is, when are we going to get home? I'll be able to get back as soon as they are able to move the arm, but that wont be be for awhile yet.
 I saw as much of the front as any of them, having been up there three times and I'll have some mighty interesting exper- fences to tell you when I get home.
 Hoping that everyone at home is we'll and that I'll be with you before very long time, I'll close As ever
