OLD-FASHTONED WIFE TURNS NEW
In Iuces Latest Comedy Movie, Hairpins'

The old saying that husbands do not
appreciate the old-fashioned wife who
bakes fine bread, pies and cakes instead
of spending all her time dressing up like
u chorus girl in revue, made q marked
impression upon Thomas II. Ince, the
movie producer.
When a story was presented to him
called ''Hairpins," Ince then and there
decided that it was a splendid illustration
OF the saying.
"Hairpins' stars Enid Bennett and is
a picture in which husbands who blame
their wives for remaining old fashioned
and disinterested in the hilarity of life
are taught a lesson.
The husband in the story, Rex Ross
more. had a wife who cared more about
getting reduction on the purchase of
dozen smoked hams than she did about
the Faust opera, and insofar as perma-
nent waving of her hair was concerned
she never thought of it.
But Rex didn't like her domesticity-
which is perhaps why his stenographer
appealed to him so strongly.
When Mrs. Rex discovered the course
hubby was pursuing, she got busy and
1t wasn't very long until she was con-
sidered the most up-to-date woman IN
New York
Then her husband began to open his
eyes.
''Hairpins' is on view at the Alhambra

I found him tC be a millionaire insurance com pany president, who had come all the way from North Caro- lima to buy hogs in Brinkley, Arkansas to start his son in the hog raising game. The man he was talking to was president of the American Swine Breeders Association, and incidentally had recently sold one hog for $16,500 and he, too, was in Brinkley at the big sale.

OLD PIONEER BANK
 MAKES GOOD
A Former Bank of BrinkIey Man L. w. Brown Joins the Monroe County B ank
 Forces. Nice Dividen
 Paid. Fine Showing.

The annual meeting of stock holders of Monroe County Bank was held at their remOd- eled old stand, Jan. 18th, 1920, for the purpose of electing directors for 1920. The same directors as of previous year were elected: M. R. .Stimson, l.. K. Brown, J. c. Blessing, A. c. Huddleston, Dr. T. J. Stout, T. c. Simmons and J. 5. Mitchell. The following officers were elected to serve for 1920: M. R. Stimson, President; L. K. Brown, Vice-President; J. $. Mitchell, Cashier; l.. W. Brown, First Asst. Cashier; Miss Clyde Mitchell, 2nd Asst Cashier and Manager Insurance Depart ment. Ike Beyer is retained as bookkeeper and Miss Mary Stimson as stenographer.
 The net earnings of the bank for 1919 proved to be the great est in history of the bank for 31 years. being 29$4 per cent. IA 6-10 per cent was ordered paid to Stockholders and l5 per cent put in surplus making total surplus now $10,000. The bank building has been thor oughly overhualed and put ill modern style, the banking room has been completely re- furnished in handsome style and additional experienced help employed ito, keep pace with continual growth of the banks business. Eleven years ago the real capital of the bank was only $5,000 and after paying to stockholders annual divl- dends aggregating 65 per cent has added to capital and sur plus from earnings 125 per cent making present Capital and Surplus $30,000 or l9O per cent earned in Il years averaging around IT per cent per annum over the entire time | in spite of cyclone, burglary and fire, each f which left us some losses beyond the scope of insurance.
 Speaking of the success ot the bank Cashier Mitchell said |"Yes we attribute the greater part of our success to the un- disguised and hearty good will of the community and the wise policy and careful course Of our directors so faithfully fol- lowed.
 We realize that without the community this would not have been possible and to merit a continuance we shall strive to so serve as to always be conscious of your approval"

THOSE RAILROAD ADS

Since the U. $. Government
 took over the railroads the
 county papers of America have been short on railroad ads. In fact there's been nothing do-
 ing for we country fellows, '"
 since our Uncle Samuel took fover the railroads except to print free notices" that were showed at us in nearly every mail.
 This editor has been a be- liever in government owner ship of all public utilities and when the government took over the roads, and at once begun to cut us out of a nice line of good paying advertising patronage I simply buckled in to help the government, hop ing that the saving to the pub lie would make up for the lost patronage. Many times as Uncle Sam's publicity Depart ment fired the articles ill and appealed for the free publica- tion of articles intended to en- tighten the people, 1 wondered at the unfairness of the gov ernment, req:lr:ny free, 50 much of the only stock and trade of the country press while it paid MOST LIBERAL LY for everything else used. (It must be borne in mind that the ONLY thing that the coun- try papers have for sale IS so many inches of publicity ill each weeks issue and that each inch costs the publisher furnishing it, from l5 to 20 cts. to produce it.)
 While Uncle Sam was taking my stock in trade F!.EE, l saw him paying other Brink ley factories, for their products or stock in trade, four or five times as much as was paid during normal conditions. To be specific-a Brinkley factory was getting $100 to $12O per thousand for all the lumber they could produce and for which they formerly got. about S2O, so it was in every other line. When Uncle Sam wanted coal, iron, shoes, blankets, groceries, candy, tobacco, or the stock and trade of any other factory or producing plant he paid cold cash for 1t all and generally at fancy prices, too.
 I saw this unjust and unfair discrimination going on and It hurt in more ways than one but the war was on and IL nad to be won and the only thing.

that the elderly sweetheart is

victimized by somebody who is
trying to wheedle the superan-

the wives we're usually much
