CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS,
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices Charged
Are UnWananted-M His Own
Hog Food, With Better
Results.

"That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog REM
idies and that he is raising some of tie
best hogs ever. placed on the market"
was the statement made recently by
r. H. Beckstead, well.known hog
raiser and and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy of
his neighbors, and have stopped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high priced hog foods and hog rem.
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explaining
that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only a
couple of dollars) and mikes same with
enough bran or filler to make hun
bred pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and are essen
tial to the hogs growth land we'll
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better results
than any high-priced so-called stock
foods.
Send two dollars TO The Minera!ine
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
rnineraline TO make full hundred
pounds. (Adv.)

the material world. A blue sky, flick

in the flight of bird-these things
should give u.s. the sense that God is
still in the world. Let US listen to the
voices of the brook: Let US watch the
waves of the lake. We may or may
not know what is on the farther, un-
seen shore, but we can build mental
pictures of great beauty. There are
thousands of beautiful pictures oil
around US if we have eyes to see and

PREAMBLE

We. the Taxpayers of Polk County Arkansas, believing that all political power is inherent in the people; and all free governments are founded upon their authority and for their beneiiti and that all taxes exacted from them should be levied, collected and dis bursed by their authority and consent and that all taxes should be expended faithfully, honestly and for the pur. pose for which they were levied and collected without favoritism or graft
 We are irrevocably and unalterably in favor of good roads and other pub lie utilities for the benefit of the whole people, constructed and maintained within the financial ability of the whole people, constructed and main tained so that they will be an asset instead of liability upon the taxable resources of the people.
 Bnt we are unalterably opposed to issuing bonds for roads or other inn provements unless the matter shall have been previously submitted to the popular vote of the people affected and has had their approval.
 We believe that all property should be equally taxed in improvement dis tricts and to that end we demand an amendment to the state constitution taxing personal property on an equal ratio with real property in all such districts.
 ifi the disbursement of the taxes de- rived from taxation upon the real and personal property of the taxpayers we demand "pitiless publicity" and an- nual accounting and public auditing of all public expenditures.
 We demand that all commissioners or other officers in road improvement districts be elected by the people and that they be subject to the recall.
 In order to carry out the principles heretofore set out and secure the en- actment of these principles into legis- lation, we, the Polk County Taxpayers League of Mena, Arkansas, do ordain and establish this, our Constitution and Bylaws:
