ANOTHER BIG HOG
 SALE ON JULY 2S
BrinkIey to Have Another Big Flooded Hog Sale. Buyers Coming on a Special
 Train.

Dr. w. M. Bruce, the expert hog fancier and raiser of the Eastern Arkansas Demonstra- ton Farm was in Brinkley on Monday looking after details in the erection of their fine new plant in South Brinkley prepar- atory to their removal here and also planning for the next big hog sale which comes on Mon day, July 28th, in Brinkley.
 It will be remembered that the first sale of blooded hogs pulled off in Brinkley last Jan uary thro' the efforts of P. c.
 Evan and Dr. Bruce was the
 biggest thing of the kind ever in Eastern Arkansas and Dr.
 Bruce says that the July 2Sth sale will be equally interesting. I At the January sale it will be remembered that a single Mon roe county hog sold for $500 which event knocked all props Tout of the gloom bugs" who had been doubting the possi-
 bility of selling hogs in Brink ley.
 Come in with your hog
 sales, Pm for you doctor.

MRS. HURST DEAD

Mrs. Ella Hurst, mother of Mrs. Elmo Chaney, and Messrs Robert and Harry Hurst of Brinkley, and a resident of this county more than 30 years, died Sunday morning at 4 o'clock, at her home about 7 miles east of Clarendon.
 She had not been entirely well since having the flu" last fall, but the last illness, from which she never rallied, con- tinued from about three weeks before her death. The deceased came from Alabama to this state. She was married in Ark ansas to John H. Hurst, who proceeded her to the other world by only a few years. She was siXty-three years old at the time of her death.
 She is survived by 1 daugh- ters and 3 sons, all of whom attended her bedside in her last hours. These are: Mrs. Elmo Chaney and Harry and Robert Hurst of Brinkley; Mrs. Maude King, Mrs. Andrew Hurst, Mrs. Ella Cooper and Rufus Hurst, who now live near Clarendon.
 The funeral services were held Monday afternoon, the in- terment being at Shady Grove cemetery. The Argus extends sympathy to all members of the bereaved family.

Just About Town.

Answering the many ques- tions that are asked me about the banana plants growing on the Argus lawn I'd say that the plant next to the Argus office is preparing to bloom and bare fruit this year. Should it do as nicely as in the past it will pro- duce from 60 to 120 fairly well formed bananas which will rip- en and be just as delicious as is the shipt in fruit. During the years 1 have been growing bananas as a lawn ornament I have matured 3 nice punches of bananas. The stalk that is now about to bloom and bear fruit will die down as soon as the process of bearing is complete or the stalk is broken or cut.
 There is a plan on foot for a big community rally and plaza entertainment to raise funds for the erection of 9 permanent memorial pavilion or stand in the plaza. The plan contem- plates about the biggest thing of the kind ever attempted in Brinkley in as much as the en- tire people of the city are eX- pected to participate and assist in the work. It will probably be an affair of such magnitude that the people of Cotton Plant, Wheatley, Hunter, Holly Grove, Clarendon and other sections will enjoy the oppor- tunity of participation. If it is pulled off, it will probably be during the month of August or as soon as Commissioner Coin receives the architect prelimi- nary plans on the proposed memorial pavilion.

ABOUT BRlNKLEY
 CHURCH MEMBERS Prominent Brinkley Church Man Speaks of Existing Conditions in BrinkIey
 Churches.

Said one of the strongest and most prominent Brinkley church men, who stands high with the Brinklev business men for his splendid service to the town, to the Argus editor on Monday morning.
 q read your report of the closing of the recent Methodist revival and it was one of the best things that ever appeared in your paper. 1 venture the as- sertion that the people who ought to have read it and whose hearts and consciences should be stirred to action by it, will never see anything in the article. There's no use of talk ing, something must be done to those who profess Christianity, whose names are now disgrac- ing our church rolls. When members of churches absent themselves from the preaching services and spend their time in playing cards, attending worldly places of amusement and even riding around in their cars while church services are being held, it tells in an un- 'mistakable way of the abso- lute carelessness for their sol emn oath or obligation which they voluntarily took when they promised God that they would. not only attend the church services but the prayer meetings and other services as well, in joining the church" Continuing he said: ''T read your article in the Argus, and had re-read it for it is worth it and 1 appreciate it. l only hope and pray that the church people of our community may be awakened to their awful sin full carelessnesS, and it's sure impress upon their own homes, their families, and the citizen ship in general. I heard one of the most valued citizens in the community say a few days ago, that unless there was some inn prOvement in the moral atmos- phere of Brinkley that he would be forced to move his family away"
 Now, the Argus doesn't like. for a moment to print the above but duty calls it and it is up to you.
 Brinkley has not always been this way and time was, a few years ago, when lecturers, speakers and newspapers Of the state held Brinkley up as one of the most model, law abiding, moral towns in the state Even the locks on the city prison rusted from months of nonUse.
 Then it was that our people enjoyed hearing the word preached. May it come again

Complaint has been made to me that quite a number of owners of cars have failed to pay their license fee as requir- ed by law and I take this course in giving due notice to such delinquents that unless the license fees are paid at once and tags placed upon the cars. both in front and on the back, that information will be filed against them and they will hc required to pay a fine.
 I trust that notice will be taken of this and the law com piled with by all automobile owners at once.

MAKING POLITICS A
BUSINESS

While we will live and die by
our democratic form Of govern
ment and no man among us would
swap it for any other form with
half the rest of the world thrown
in to boot, still we should wei
come any improvement even
though it has to be accepted in
its experimental state.
The proposed national universi-
| ty where Americans could pre-
pare themselves for diplomatic
service and public life, seems to
be such an improvement. The
idea is to establish a post gradu-
ate institute at Washington where
students could have advantages
Of the huge Libraries there, could
come in direct contact with ma
tiOnal life and could develop an
understanding Of world relations
with the object in view Of accept
ing the responsibilities Of diplo-
matte service and government
through the agencies Of the polls
after he had concluded his educa-
ton. And, by the way, there is
a committee in the senate at pres
ent appointed for the purpose of
consummating this idea.
One Of our obvious weaknesses
in the past has been that we have
thrust men INTO office who knew
little or nothing Of the general
economic scheme of. things and
who by the very virtue of their
ignorance involved themselves and |
their cons tuents in trouble that |
might easily have been avoided.
There is a general tendency +
against the perpetual politician,
but why not the perpetual politi-
clan if he is delivering the goods.
England owes her success as a /
world power to the fact that she
trained her statesmen from boy
hood. Making politics a business
instead of a pastime or what is
worse, a vacation for the purpose
of amassing a few thousands Of
public money, certainly sounds
feasible anyway And if sincere
men do make it a business and
are actuated by motives of service
they should be given every adyan-
tage Of education and understand

WHY WE FOUGHT

"The testimony Of witness
who was a soldier on the fighting
front, this is Mr.. Taft's de-
scription Of Capt. Thomas O.
Chamberlain book, ".Why We
Fought" "
In foreword written for the
book, Mr.. Taft says:
There is no par Of our peo-
PIE whose opinion on the question
o. whether we should haye a
league of nations, and whether
the pending peace should be rati-
fled, ought to have more weight
with the senate of the United
States than the four million of
boys who We're enlisted in the
war to defeat Germany. They
know why they offered them
selves. They know what the nat
ional purpose was. They know
what their fighting was intended
to mean for America and the
world. Still more significant is
the opinion of the eight hundred
thousand of those four millions
who. were given the place of hon
or in the trenches and who did
the actual fighting The most
significant of all is the view of
the seventy thousand American
boys who offered up their lives
in the cause, and whose great
purpose in making the ultimate
sacrifices undoubtedly was to end
all wars for the world.
"The following pages are the
testimony of a witness who was
a soldier ON the fighting front.

mind, who speaks with authority

HOUSTON ANSWERS PEPPER

A Philadelphia lawyer, named
George Wharton Pepper, leader OF
an organization supporting Sena-
tors Borah and Reed in their cam
paign against the League Cove
nant, is initiating Senator Borah's
tactics in attacking tlh League to
Enforce Peace. Herbert S. Hous-
ton the Leagues S national treas
urer, has answered Mr.. Pepper as
follows:
From the day the League was
formed in Independence Hall,
four years ago, it has been IL
nanced by the people who believe
in the League of Nations. Our
books show, as our auditors can
tell Mr.. Pepper, that we have
over 6,0O0 contributors and that
the average contribution has been
considerably below 800 No
movement III lHiH touHlly Hdo
ever received a more broadly dem
ocratic financing than has the
League and the reason is, Of
course, that no movement has
ever had a more broadly demo
cratic support than the League.
From the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States, which
ratified the referendum in favor
of the league of Nations by an
overwhelming majority three
years ago, to the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, which has Just
adopted a supporting referendum
by a vote of $4,000 in favor to
less than 600 opposed, the League
has received the greatest popular
Endorsement that the American
people have given to any cause in
years.
In the state of Mr.. Peppers
colleague, Senator Reed. nearly |
every democratic member of the |
legislature called upon the sena-
tor to resign, agreeing to resign
themselves, and submit the whole
question to referendum with
the voters of Missouri, but the
senator, with a discretion and
caution most unusual with him,
declined the challenge. -
