A Sense Of
Patriotic Duty

is spreading leaven of hope
through thousands of stores and
workshops and in tens of thousands
of homes.
1t is entirely differentiated from
the usual end-of- the-season sales,
where many articles, like dresses and
wraps, are always sold at half price.
We are in no hurry to sell off our
splendid stocks, which in many parts
cannot be replaced this season.
We could have doubled our selling
force, but we did not wish to add
more people than could be trained to
wait upon our customers well.
There are signs in a few quarters
of reasonableness, with some of the
makers of our qualities of merchan-
disc offering us shoes and other
wanted articles at lower prices.
Whatever bargains come to us, the
people, who know that they can de-
pend upon our words, shall have the
full benefit of them, based upon the
basis of actual cost.
We are paying cash every day for
more new goods.

Incendiarism of This Character May Lead To the Cancellation of ln- surance Policies On Ware

 Following is the proclamation in full:
 Know ye that, whereas, reliable in formation has been given the gover- nor that there is law Iessness in some of our counties, growing out of the prevailing low price of cotton, and that this has already resulted in the burning of gins congresses and farm houses and the killing of night watch men, and the governor has been ap- pealed to for aid: and
 Whereas, Such acts of violence and intimidation had calculated u cause an untold loss to our splendid farmers and business men, who are already bearing heavy burdens, by in- ducing tenants and farm hands not to pick the cotton in the fiel dand not 10 gin and insure it; and
 Whereas. Incendiarism of this character might lead to a cancellation iof insurance policies on cotton ware houses and is contrary to the sound policy of picking the cotton as rapidly as possible, having it ginned and placed in insured warehouses and is direct blow at the sovereignty of the state, and contrary to the ideals of all law abiding citizens;
 Now, therefore. I. Charles H. BlSugh. governor of the state of Ark ansas, by virtue of the power and au- thority vested in me under the con- stitution and laws of said state and acting in my official capacity, do here by and herein call upon the adjutant general of the state, the sheriffs of all counties in which there has been 'or is likely to b0edisturbances, the 142 patriotic American Legion posts, and all officers of the law and citizens interested in maintaining the majesty of the law, to use the full executive and military power at their command to suppress these night-riding out rages and to do everything within their power to enforce the majesty of the law, to apprehend all offenders and to promote the fair and stable marketing of our states premier agfi cultural product"

Over fifty years ago a young physician practiced widely in rural district and became famous for his uniforp success in the curing of disease. This was Dr.. Pierce, who afterwards estab. iished himself in Buffalo, N. Y., and placed one of his prescriptions, which he called Golden Medical Discovery" in the drug stores of the United States so that the pub- aic could easily obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective and blood maker. Dr. Pierce manu- fsctured this Discovery" from roots and barks "a corrective remedy, the ingredients of wt,..h nature had put in the fields aad forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living have not at sometime or other used this Golden Medical Discovery" for the stomach, liver and heart. Over twenty four million bottles of this tonic and blood remedy have been sold in this country.
