LIBERTY LOAN AND
 SAVINGS BANK .

The effect of the Liberty Loans ana the War Savings Stamps on savings banks deposits has been watched with keen interest by economists and finan- ciers. The experience of Englanc was very encouraging; in the year 1916 the English small depostors purchased billions of dollars of war bonds and at the same time increased their deposits in savings banks over $60 100000
 The belief is entertained that the result in America has been very simi- lar to that in England, and that de spite the purchase by the American people of some $l0,000,0 100000 Of Liberty Bonds and $500,0O0,000 of War Savings Stamps, a very fair pro portion of which were purchased by savings banks depostors, savings banks deposits have increased
 Full reports have been received from the savings banks in New York state. They show a decrease in de- posits for the last year of only $S,- 000,000. but an increase of 21 ,252 de positors. The loss in deposits is in significant; the increase in the mum Der depositors very significant. With increased cost of living and other war conditions. the decrease in deposits might we'll be expected; the increase of depositors shows that the saving habit is greatly growing in our country.

CALOMEL PURIFIED
 OF ALL OBJECTIONS
Chemists Rid Doctors FavOrite Medicine of Nauseating and Dangerous Qualities-New Va riety Called "CalOtabS."

A triumph of modern pharmacy that is destined to bless the whole world-that is the opinion of physi- clans and druggists who are familiar with the new calomel that is wholly free from the objectionable effects of the old-style calomel
 An occasional purifying of the sys- tenn and thorough cleansing of the liver are absolutely essential to health and, as all doctors know, calomel is the only drug that accomplishes this result. Now that the unpleasant and dangerous effects are entirely re- moved, the popularity of the new calomel, Calotabs, will be vastly in creased. It's effect is delightful. One tablet at bedtime, swallow of water that's all. You wake up next morn ing feeling fine, your liver cleansed, your system purified and with hear ty appetite for breakfast Eat what you please-no danger No restric- tions of habit or diet
 Calotabs are sold only in origina sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees them.-(Advt.)

BUDGET SYSTEM OF CARING
 FOR APPROPRIATIONS

Little Rock, Aug. 15.-Another eff fort is to be made to provide for a budget system for taking care of leg islative appropriations. This is the plan that has been insisted upon by Gov Brough as the only business-like method of conducting the affairs of the state A special committee was appointed to report a plan today, the committee consisting of Messrs. Ar mold, Carter, Poole, Elliott, Warnock. Sloan and Horner.
 Clay Sloan yesterday endeavored to secure the adoption of propoSi tion to provide that the auditor shall fix a rate necessary to take care of the appropriations that may be made by the legislators. This met with vio- lent opposition and was defeated, John l. Moore said that it was like handing the legislature blank check and telling them to fill it out. And Henry Rector said it would be far more logical to make the appropra- tjons fit the revenue, rather than the revenue to tit the appropriations.
 Delegates Moore and Foster have offered propositions for a sliding scale of rates as the total assessment in- creases, and Judge Moore's proposal is before the convention today.

\ WEEKS OUTING AT
 BAKER SPRINGS
By John Tweezer.

Since my return from Baker Spring l have been writing in tears knee deep. It is wonderful the effects water has on some people. Old Ponce de Leon no doubt thought he had found the fountain of youth when he filled his radiator from the waters of a little spring down in Florida. have drunk from that same spring with poor results It's waters are tame compared to the waters of Baker Springs. am Keely gradu- ate, when it comes to drinking. helped to drink the foam off the state, and with the assistance of Doctor Maddox. l expect to drink Baker Springs dry. Old "Ponce" has long since departed this life on the water wagon for parts unknown, while stand out before you perfect speci- men of beauty and youth. You can get as full as goose of this wonder full Baker Springs water without hay ing to use a corkscrew, but it is no good for campaign purposes.
 We did not leave for Baker Springs in Pullman, as reported, but in Judge Haynie's Super-SiX, while the grand jury was trying to find the "foci" of few crap shooters. occu- pied the upper berth with the Judge, while Joe Bailey and Hon. Tilman Parks fought for the lower one, 1 have always been an admirer of na- ture, love an outing, especially at this season of the year when nature is getting in her artistic touches, and the boy and other insects are crawling around under the persimmon trees, filling themselves with cramps and red-bugS Some people have but little regard for natures work, or any other kind of work as to that, while l believe we should assist ma ture and try to bring it up on parity with the pure food laws
 Now if was to tell you that l made a trip to Baker Springs thirty-hve years ago in an oX-cart, you might doubt it, as things have changed So much since then Boys and carts have gone through a transformation. You hardly ever see a genuine boy nowa- days. The man who invented cigar cites and soap knocked the boy out and the Tin Lizzie" has emancipated old Buck and Ball"
 Baker Springs is located somewhere in the invigorating Ozarks, a most charming resort; place rich in min erals. mountainous uplands, from which flow crystal springs. cold and hot; place rich in agriculture, fruits, quaries of the best cutting stone in the world: lumber and all natural re- sources. A place free from the bird-mosquito, and the bull frogs that sing solemn requiem, to ull the weary to sleep

good time, and from the signs of the Zodiac, l would be the goat.
 That evening, when we had formed the family circle at the spring, Doctor Maddox, in hypnotic talk, persuad- ed me to drink freely of the nectar. not being accustomed to drinking water, 1t riled my stomach, but to show the Doctor that I was game. I drank eight quarts with the straight edge put to them.
 That night l tried to sleep, but visions of my boyhood days, when had my bosom filled with green apples loomed up before me, and my mind chased around after thoughts to Soothe me to sleep. l felt that I had been made the old Billy Goat, whiskers and all, and l asked the Lord to teach me still to be thankful for life and for times golden memories that are good and sweet.
 If knew that all the foolish people were to be killed on a certain day, would advise Joe Bailey to get busy writing farewell letters. Joe was the victim who tried to pull the Badger from under the box. Joe has always been regarded good wire puller," and he is not slow with a corkscrew, but this time he got hold of some thing he could not pull, and had it not been for the timely assistance of dog and Attorney Parks, Joe would have gone down in shame and defeat.
 If you are fond of dancing you can enjoy the evenings at this place, Everybody dances here, after drink ing this water they get the dance in their system and nothing short of an old Virginia reel will take it our. The judge got a dose of dance in his sys- tenn, and tell you, it was a fright to see him trying to work it off
 Nature in her lavish way made a pool in the crystal water of the Cassa- tot river near the springs. and those who bathe in it will never grow old.
 Professor C. F.. Palmer, the Four States man, has been appointed to instruct the visitors in the art of swimming Quite a lot of young ladies who graduated from this school are now offering their services to the government for life savers on the coast.
 One of the oldest organizations at this place is the Whittlers' Club It was organized years ago by J. |. Johnson, who has been drinking water from Baker Springs for the last siXty-three years. It is estimated that he has drunk enough water to start a small flood of his own. You see, when the legislature drew the plans and specifications of the Arkan- sas camel. it left off the small pouches and upholstering. leaving nothing but the thirst.
 On the eve of our departure, Judge Hayne and Attorney Parks framed up a court to try Doctor Maddox for administering water in unusual doses.

SEED POTATOES
 AND MILLET SEED

Now that a reasonable rain has come it is highly important that the farmers take full ad-' vantage of the situation. A second or fall crop ef Irish po- tatoss should be planted at; , oncs and every available acra should be sowed in millet in order that hay may be provid. ed for live stock this winter. We have a large quantity or old crop seed potatoes. They are now sprouting and ready , for planting. Come in and get supply. The early potato crop was almost a failure. Try a fall crop.
 We also have a large supply of millet seed. It would cer- tainly be advisable to cut all corn that has been destroyed by the drouth, save it for. rough feed and SOW the land in millet.
 Act now while the ground has some moisture in it. Call today and get seed potatoes and millet seed.
