A Gentle Wisdom.

A Gentle wisdom.
When things have gone wrong and life
loses its charm
As doubts overshadow both village and
farm,
When harsh words arise and the home,
once serene,
Re echoes contentious and threatens "a
scene,"
The grandmother listens, all patient
and still,
To arguments sounding with threaten
ing thrill.
She never takes part in the logical test.
She smiles and says, maybe it's all
for the best"
She doesn't pretend to a knowledge so
deep
OF the word men may break and the
word they must keep.
Her thought rises gently with faith
all secure,
Above the strange SORROWS that NOR
tails endure.
The griefs that have touched her since
youth went its way
Have left her more noble and helpful
today.
Perhaps she is wiser than all Of the
rest
When she smiles and says, sMaybe H's
all for the best

PEOPLE OF STATE
URGED TO AID IN
SCHOOL ELECTION
Most Important Election Of
year Says Superintend-
ent Bond.

Superintendent j. l.. Bond has ask
ed that special attention be paid to
the coming school election, to be held
of efficiency may be maintained dur
ing the readjustment period which is
imminent.
H'The annual school election date
will soon be here. This is in many re-
spects one of the most important
elections of the year." Mr.. Bond said.
"The department of education is
anxious that the school election this
year be especially called to the atten-
ton of the people of the State"
cat this time of readjustment,
there are many, many things to en-
gage the attention of the people but
we do not want them to overlook the
needs of their schools. During the pre-
iod of REIMBURSEMENT, we should main
tain all our schools at their maximum
otherwise for we must give our
school children proper educational adj
vantages now if we are to meet the
conditions and demands that are going
to be made upon the people.
"The annual school election will be
held throughout the state as fixed
by law on the third Saturday in May.
This is one of the most important
elections in which the people of the
state are called upon to participate.
We must without fail look we'll at
this time to the needs Of our schools"
Owe 1t to America.
1--WE owe it to ourselves, to our
children, and to America, at this time,
to make our schools as efficient as
possible.
LET every school board have a
meeting at once, determine the needs
of the school for the coming year,
then be ready to submit in the proper
way an estimate of funds necessary
for the next years school.
"In the background, nurturing the
great reserves of humanity on which
the future must be built, stand the
schools, never SO important, never SO
indispensable as now. The biggest
of all conservation projects, the con-
servation of our boys and girls, has,
in the main, been turned over to the
schools. The responsibility thus placed
upon them would be appalling if it
were not SO tremendously inspiring"
"The school election is one elect
ion that should concern every man
and woman in Arkansas, who is in
terested in education. In times like
these, special effort should be made
to stimulate interest and enthusiasm
in the schools to the end that they
shall be maintained at the highest
degree of efficiency. The best way to
secure the success of our schools is

ENGLAND STORED
MUCH WHEAT FOR
BIG OFFENSIVE
BY The Associated Pres,


London, May 2.-The British far
mer is suffering from the fact that
the government had stacked the
granaries of Great Britain with wheat
in preparation for great spring Of
fensive against the Germans this
year. Now that the offensive is not to
be undertaken, the farmer is having
difficulty in selling his crop of last
years wheat.
Explaining the situation at the
annual dinner of the land union re-
Gently, Lord Ernlo, formerly Robert
+. Prothero, president of the board
of agriculture, said, 81 do not know
that l am revealing a secret when
l say that the government intended,
if the war had not finished in Novem-
Der, to make its great push about
this time. In this month or next
month we should have tried to place
on the western front the whole force
of the allies we could command and
should have tried to bring the war
to conclusion this summer.
"For that purpose we wanted the
absolute control of all the tonnage we
could get. We wanted every ship to
be free to bring over munitions, food
and everything else which the army
required For that reason we brought
into this country large quantity of
food supplies. If our shipping was to
be engaged in bringing over food to
this country in the middle of that
military push we should have been
hampered.
1.-THE consequence was that we filled
the granaries of this country with
wheat in order that we should be free
for this great military enterprise.
You cannot alter your plans in a
few hours. The wheat is now being
passed into consumption "as quickly
as possible"

JOHN BARLEYCORN'S RETURN

The Graphic printed very timely
and appropriate letter from S. S.
McClintic yesterday that was full Of
sound logic. Coming from man
Of his years and experience it should
carry full weight.
A petition is being circulated at
the shops. and will later go the
rounds of the city, asking for a ref
crendum vote on the prohibition
question in Arkansas. There are
about so such petitions being circu-
lated in the state at the present time,
There are many men in this city who
will sign such petition, some thought
lessly, other maliclously. Mr.. Nc
Clintic suggested that J. w. Blake
burn take the matter up at the next
safety first" meeting of the rail-
road employees and urge the shop men
to reissue to sign it. He suggested that
organized efforts be made against
the return of John Barleycorn to Ar
kansas.
There is a powerful organization
at work in the United States
today endeavoring toa defeat the
national prohibition law. A branch
of this organization is at work in the
state Of Arkansas for the return of
booze to this state, thereby aiding
to defeat the national prohibition
measure. The majority of the people
Of this state realize that return. of

feeling safe in that realization they

Acid Is Cause of In

A we'll known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion aro
nearly always due to a~cidity--acid

lieve. from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of ~hydrochloric
acid in the stomach retards digestion
and starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage In a can, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which initiate
the stomach like a toy balloon. We
then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in
the chest, we eructate o u food, belch
gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, wa
terbrash. or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharma-
cy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful In a glass of water be-
fore breakfast while it is effervescing.
and Furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the first
dose, 1t is important to neutrslize acid
ity, remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote a free flow of pure dt-
gestive juices.
