SPRING IS COMING.

Spring is the season of optomism and happiness. It is the awakening period of the year heralded by the advent of tiny buds, tender grass shoots, sunshine and the return of the warblers. And it is all the more appreciated following close on the heels of cold clustering winter.
 The world today is entering the mpst wonderful Spring it has ever known. Following season of chaos and war, of cold heartaches and de- luge of suffering, the tiny bud of world peace appeared and is fast opening into full-bloom flower of realization. The tender shoots of democracy and world freedom are ap- bearing all over the world and nour- ished by the sunshine of approval. they will prosper and bear an abund- ant harvest.
 Strikes and riots are but the thun- der-storms of the season; disturbances of the elements that signify the fas approach of period of peace and plenty. The weeds of oppression and selfishness that have so long strangled the vines of progress are being elimin- ated and universal brotherhood is being applied where the soil is in need of fertilization.
 To America falls the lot of the far mer, the cultivator of the world. American banks are floancing the crop. American merchants are fur nishing the supplies and American statesmen are planting the seed.
 As America sows in the Spring, Sc shall she reap in the Fall the benefits of productive world.

ARKANSAS SENATE
 WOULD TAX DOGS

! Little Rock, Jan. 23.-Senator Ca
 zort, sponsored measure which pro- vides that al ldogs in the State be taxed. and if their taxes are not paid,
 be killed. The State tax on male dogs
 would be $2 per year and on female
 $4.
 1 Senator Collins of Drew County
 vigorously protested against the "class legislation" which favored the male and disfavored the female. Senator Johnson and Emory attack ed the bill, the former being against it in principle and the latter because he said, there should be running scale of taxation, the higher taxes being on bird dogs. He declared that the bird dogs should be taxed at $25 because of the depredations upon bids, which he declared, were the farmers greatest assets in fighting the plant killing insects and because owners of bird dogs were able to pay the tax. Senator Brown also opposed the bill
 The bill provides that all dogs four months old or older shall be subject to tax. A person owning a dog irrespec- tive of whether the tax has been paid, would be responsible for any losses among stock caused by the dog. In cases where the identity of the dogs owner could not be proved, owners of stock killed by canines would be com pensated from county fund created through collection of the dog taxes. Persons owning dogs who refused or failed to pay the required tax would be subject to fine of from $5 to $10 and in addition the dog would be sub ject to execution.
 The vote on the bill was 22 for and 10 against, those voting against the bill being Brown, Collins, Hester Johnson, Johnston, Lefler, McFerrin, McGough, Utley and Wilson.

Men Who Dare to Do.

Conventional men consider clothing, reputation and returns. The age calls for men who forget all in the chal- .enge of the opportunity. While the crowd speculates and wonders, the man of the hour sees the opportunity and goes on to success. His fearless ness is mark of his fitness. He fares while others cringe. It is this quality that gives the lion-tamer con- rol of the beast. It Is the quality that has thrilled every man that has risen above the average It's a case of dare to do, or remain with the croWd.-Grit.

Rare Bank Note.

A rare English bank note is in the possession of MT. Vesey Holt. The note is dated 1921 and is the issue of the Bank of England. After the Ma poleonic wars England was short of gold, and as temporary expedient the Bank of England put a number of five dollar bank notes into circulation. until the gold reserve was restored. In appearance they closely resemble a twenty-five dollar note, and bear no likeness to the English paper money of today.

PAPERS OF PARIS
 GIVE RUSS MATTER
 MIXED RECEPTION

Paris, Jan. 23.-The decision of the Supreme council of the peace congress on the Russian question meets with mixed reception on the part of the commentators in the Paris morning newspapers. The Matin, which car ries the news under the caption "dra- matic stroke at peace conference,' y says:
 'It is great and bold idea. We shall see if it is practical and fruitful.' J
 On the other hand, the Journal says:
 There is no hiding the fact that the solution adopted has caused a painful impression upon the French. Foreign Minister Pichon expressed public sen- timent when he said in his speech of December 29th, and his letter of aJn- uary 9th, mo compromise with the Bolsheviki.'
 No Solution.
 The Figaro says:
 "No solution of the Russian prob lem has yet been found, but a broad and fair minded inquiry is opened by the Associated Powers un- der their auspices. It is to be hoped the Bolsheviki agents will not take ad- vantage of this temporary respite to continue their propaganda in Europe and hamper the work of peace in the name of their own principles" ' The Socialist Humanite says:
 '"The Social democrats of the whole world will read President Wilson's proposals with the deepest joy. Presi- dent Wilson speaks the. language which we and the workers of the civ ilized globe have been waiting for"

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, AvOid Exposure and Eat Less
 Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure. keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison- ous toxin. called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels and absorb ed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity In damp, chilly, cold
 weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system. even- tually settling in the joints and mus cleS causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge Of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a
 week This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to narmal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.

 by thousands of folks who are sub. 1 ject to rheumatism. Here you have pleasant, effervescent lithia- water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Adyt.

Thus it weakens the whole system, predispos- ing to infection by disease and making 1t more difficult to escape outcome ii infection strikes.

CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS
 WITH NEOL|N SOLES

"The answer to the problem of shoe wear lies in the use of Neolin Soles - so says II. L. Evans of Steubenville. Ohio.
 For five months, says Mir. Evans, 'I have been wearing the same pair of Ne6lin-soled shoes at my work at the La Belle Iron Works and they are good for two months more wear. As my work takes me to all parts of the mill daily where 1 have to walk over cinders, slag, etc., it is simply out of the question to buy anything else to take the place of Neolin Soles.''
 You too-and your whole family-will find Neolin-soled shoes wear long and so save money. You can get themin the styles you like at almost any good shoe store. And any repairman will re-sole your worn shoes with Neolin Soles- scientifically made to be durable, com- fortable and waterproof. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out wear any other heels.

LADIES'! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and
 Nobody Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,' you will get this famous old prepara- ton, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended up- on to restore natural color and beauty o the hair
 A well known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By ID orning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two, 1t becomes beautiful ly dark and Elossy.-Adv.
