Glowing Prospect
for Worlds Crops

To the highly favorable report of
the condition of our 1cops, issued
some time ago, the United States
Department of Agriculture now adds
the news of excellent crop prospects
throughout the world Tne worlds
winter wheat acreage is apparently
little less than that of last year, but
if weather conditions continue good
large yield is TO be expected and
in important districts spring seeding
is we'll advanced. Bumper crops in
normal times are the source of large
wealth to agricultural interests and
usually react favorably unon indus
try and commerce generally. In
spite of certain adverse factors in the
present situation there is no reason
to- view present crop prospects with
anything but optimism.
The apparent superabundance of
wheat in Jnis country at present and
the consequent situation of the far
mer is, in reality, the result of un-
derconsumption in Europe and the
high cost Of grain on hand There
is little danger of any over-supply of
foodstuff in relation to the real needs
ofthe people of Europe. Should un-
usually large crops actually materi-
alize they will be chiefly The result Of
favorable weather conditions. This
fact, coupled with very general read
iustment Of farm wages, oespeaks re-
duced costs. Under these conditions
large crops ia Europe might curious
Iy enongll through stimulation Of
IA lust Il md general prosperity
abroad, Increase rather t1sssi decrease
effective demand for our grain.

WHERE, OH WHERE WAS BILLs

Sevierville, June THE opening
day of circuit court drew a larger
crowd to Sevierville yesterday. The
main show came off on the court
house lawn when the sheriff, obeying
orders of the court, proceeded to
hack to pieces 10 copper stills of all
shapes and sizes, ranging from the
family or coffee pot size to the NAM
moth 80 gallon still. Later in the
day about 81 gallons of confiscated
booze were poured into the sewer in
front of the courthouse. A large
crowd of interested mourners and
spectators watched these proceedings
and made divers and sundry remarks
about the hard-hearted sheriff vast
ing so much booze in dry town.
These stills and the b. oze were
captured by the sheriff and his dep
uties in Sewer county since the last
term of court in February, and it is
said by those who profess to know
that half of the stills have not been
captured yet. Anyway Sheriff Rohn
is making a good sized dent in the
moonshiner's business.

TRUTH in MEDICINE

| am rather iconoc lastic about
medicine. The really valuable drugs
are not many. The Wis medicatrix
naturae (healing power of nature) is
far more dependable. Most ills will
get we'll without any medicine. Nor
do hesitate to tell my confreres so.
| don't know but what the dosing of
the laity with placebos dread pills
or other harmless substances) instead
of assuming their intelligence, TAX
ing them into our confidence and
speaking the truth as man to man
don't know but that it has led to
the food of nostrums with which the
suffering world is half drowned.
The people have come to think that
the only way to cure disease is by
swallowing something. John Smith
was ill;he took medicine; he got we'll.
1t is but step to convince oneself
that what was good for John Smith
may be good for me. Besides, it is
so easy to lake medicine. One is not
we'll the stomach is out of order.
The sense of duty must be satisfied

COUNTY SCRIP IS
 DECLARED LEGAL
Circuit Court Orders Rc-IssIc of Scrip Outlawed by
 Judge Gray

That the issuance of $62,- GOO worth of Independence county scrip, bought S par by the three Batesville banks with an agreement with the County Quorum Court in 1917 that eight per cent interest would be allowed, was not invalid as contended by County Judge T. A. Gray was the ruling of Cir cult Judge D. II. Coleman at a special term of circuit court held at Batesville Monday by Judge D'ene H. Coleman, and Judge Coleman issued an or der to Judge Gray to reissue the scrip at once.
 Judge Gray several weeks ago held that the issuance of the scrip bought at par by the banks was invalid because the county was to pay interest on it. Judge Coleman contended that the agreement with the Quorum Court did not invali- date the scrip. The banks, it is said, have not filed a claim for the interest.
 The taxpayers who brought the action to prevent payment of the scrip have given notice of an appeal to the Arkansas Supreme Court.

COUNTY GETS QUOTA
 IN COTTON CAMPAIGN
independence is Fifth County in State to Go Over Top
 Tn Cotton Drive

Independence county secured enough signatures to the cot ton contract last week to go above it's quota of 4834 bales. This does not mean that we will stop work for the state has not secured the 100000 bales necessary to form the as- sociation and until that amount is signed 1t will be necessary for every man in the county who is interested, to work on his neighbor to get him to sign. The campaign will close Satur- day night and it is urged that every man who has sighed the contract devote the whole oi Saturday to this work. It will be calamity, not only to Arkansas but to the South, if we fail to get 100000 bales by the first of the year.
 This county has been assign ed an additional quota of 500 bales to make up for some of the counties that have not done anything and we are very anxious to get them; not only because Independence always does her part and more but because we want to do everything that we can to put the association over.
 Geo. M. Fields of Newark sent in this week contracts amounting to 72 bales. MT. Fields has been one of the few men of the county who has worked on this from the start and has been responsi- ble for securing many con- tracts that could not have been secured without his work.
 When you read this there will be only one more day in which to sign the contract. With only a few thousand bales needed to complete the pool you should consider it your duty. to sign and get your neighbor to do the same thing. Think this over, sign your con- tract and mail it in.
