Divorces Cheaper Here Than They
 Are in Helena

Divorces are cheaper in Pine Bluff than in Helena, according to a news paper dispatch from the Phillips county capital and court records here. Over in Helena the lawyers "union" has set $50 as the minimum fee to prosecute suit for divorce. Ere quently plaintiffs in Pine Bluff pro fess they are without funds to retain attorneys, and when this is the case and the lawyers sympathize with the complainant, the court will order the defendant to pay plaintiffs attorneys. Usually this fee is 1925, as compared with $50 in Helena.
 Two of these cases were before Judge John M. Elliott yesterday. In the suits of Julia Turner vs. Joe Tur- ner and Coralee LaGrant vs. Lacy LaGrant, each of the defendants was ordered to pay the plaintiff $5 a week, $10 suit money, and $25 to attorneys for plaintiffs, Toney and Craig.

SEE TOM BLODGETT
 SAVE DOCTORS BlLL

These have been busy days, and many times I have missed the lit tie chats that l have had with my patient readers.
 The acQuaintances made with these little ad stories have been pleasant ones and scarcely a day passes but that some one drops in the office and wants to see the far mer boy that writes these stories and we sit down and have good visit together.
 Pine Bluff has been very kind to me and kept me busy looking at house that folks wanted to sell, and then putting the bridle on my "tin Lizzie' and hitting the high places finding other folks who are tired to renting and want home of their own.
 The only complaint I have is the nervous strain keeping an eye open for the Traffic cop as it would be impossible to answer all the calls that come to the office for houses anr farms if l held my car down to the speed limit all the time.
 The doctors of the town have doubled their business since the big rush of home buying began, as those who rent houses lay awake nights dreading the notice from the land- lord that the house has been sold and they will have to move out, and they know there is not house to rent in town.
 This anxiety tends to throw ner- vous fits, and it is only few days until the doctor has to be called and dish out strong medicine to keep the whole family from having ner- vohs distraction.
 My services are less costly than the doctors, and you better see me before you have to see him, and let me find you bargain in a home and if you need some terms l may be able to help you work it out.
 Homelessness is about the worst disease l know of, and you can buy a home now much cheaper than you can build one. You will never know what real freedom is until you own a home of your own. Cut out being a landlords slave and save a doctors bill.
 Everybody knows that phone 2615 is the ring when you want to sell or buy house or farm, and Mar win Jaggars is my city real estate scout, and if you will ask for him he will be there nearly by the time you hang up the receiver. Our of- flee is on the ground floor of the Citizens Bank building, and con- venient for those who are in a hurry or have the rheumatism.
