ing 5his point some five or six weeks ago and the same was announced through the public press of this coun- ty.
 T enclose for your information one of our circulars which We have been sending out for the past five or six weeks"
 "Safe Farming" Circular.
 The circular sent by MT. Barker contains the following:
 No feed
 "No credit.
 This slogan has been adopted by the Bank of Atkins to indicate it's poli- cy in making loans to farmers. In making the announcement of this pol icy the bank issues the following statement:
 Attention is called to this an !nouncement at this time in order to emphasize the fact that it is perma . nent policy of our bank The direc- tors do not assume to dictate the business of the customers, but they do take the position that it is their duty to pass upon the credit worth and financial strength of every bor- rower of it's funds. Experience has demonstrated, especially since the advent of the boil weevi, that the one crop man is not desirable credit risk, and therefore no such loans will be taken by this bank. Bank of Atkins" Another Endorsement. Another cordial endorsement was from R. s. Madison, president of the Bank of Portia. His letter follows: "In reply to your letter On the sub- ject of farmers producing their own feed, will say that we heartily ap- prove of this action, and We are put ting the same thing up to our farmer customers, and are going it one bet ter-we insist that they raise as much of their own food of such things as can be stored away for the winter supply as possible, and insist on ev. cry farmer getting a good dairy COW We must get out of this old way of trying to raise cotton to buy every. thing else, and the bankers and other business men can do this by not ex- tending credit for such things as car be raised at home.
 Yours for a better Arkansas"

BETTER THAN ALL MEDICINE
Oysters Put Artemus Ward on His Feet When Every Other Remedy
 Had Proved . Failure.

When ArtemuS Ward and Dr. Hing ston, who acted as his manager on his western lecture tour, arrived in Salt Lake City, after that amusing and successful visit to California, the be- loved humorist fell sick. So badly was he, after his arduous rounds of the Pacific coast and his strenuous days in Virginia City, New, with Mark Twain and Bill Nye, that his life was despaired of.
 The lecture Artemus had arranged with Brigham Young to give in the theater, had to be postponed. In fact, so hopeless seemed the case that Dr. Kingston even tried to arrange to have the body of his friend and partner transported to the East on the stage coach. But the optimism of Artemus brought him back to safety again, a very thin and weak man.
 But before he was allowed to leave his room, Artemus had difficulty gain- ing sufficient strength even to walk. From Brigham Young to the least humble of the Mormon "saints," atten- tions in the form of fresh eggs, jellies and other helpful delicacies were showered upon the convalescent. Ar temus enjoyed everything, but nothing seemed to give him strength.
 At last food was discovered in a local grocery, so we are told, that lifted him from his couch" This was nothing more or less than dozen cans of Baltimore oysters, put up In squares of block tin. The first oyster stew Init the spot" and Artemus chirped up:
 "Get out the bills for the lecture ] See Mir. Clawson and arrange for the date. The show is safe enough, now we've got on an oyster basis. Mark Stuyvesant In the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

meath the wagon and the wheel

started to run.

~. J. Mueiier, secretary OF the
s10ck Island board Of hre and po-
Me- commissioners, today issued
~ following statement when adj
.Sissd Of the boards dismissal:
Last March J. H. Fender. Ed
ward Bakersfield and myself held q
meeting With Mayor Schriver in his
once ct tho city hall for the ex-
prsss purpose Of bringing to his
direct attention some OF the condi-
lions in the city, Of which we had
knowledge in an unofficial way.
We advised him that We were told
that q vicious ring was at work
! IN the city collecting and guaran-
teeing protection among the under.
world. We suggested means Of
combating this evil, which he al
executive head Of the city had IL
his power.
This suggestion was termec
poppy-cock by the mayor, but he
assured us that he would take step
at once to correct the evil which
was growing. We also suggested
that special police stars should not
be given out at random. and he
promised to present resolution to
the council, empowering this board
to issue such permits. We put the
matter up to the mayor and await
ed his action.
Early in July Chief OF Police
Cox assigned a patrolman to John
Looney to make certain arrests and
for three successive nights Mr..
Looney had from one to four men
under his direction. When the
board had learned what had been
taking place, Chief Cox was called
In and an Investigation was insti-
tuted to get the facts in the case
Suspension Deferred.
Chief Cox should have been sus-
pended at once for the lax manner
in which he conducted his Office
hut this board felt that inasmuct
as Mayor Schriver was out Of the
city, we would defer action unit
his return. Mayor Schriver re
turned on July 30 and Mr.. Bauers
field and myself told him what hat
taken place and we advised hin
that il he did not approve Of tn
course we were about to take ant
stand squarely with us, We woult
rather resign and issue statemen
to the public. He refused to accep
our designations, in fact, implore'
us to remain on the board, and tn
statement which he issued on Aug
is already familiar to the public
The mayor again assured US tina
time that the laws were to be rig
idly enforced, and that side of tn
question is also familiar to tn
public.
I'VE have no regrets in trans
ferring our duties to the new mem
beers, except that we are familia
with what has been taking plac
and we would have been pleased t
give Chief Cox a fair and impartia
trial, even though he now stand
self-conyicted before the public. A
citizens and taxpayers we trust tina
the new board will not hesitate I
do its plain duty. without fear O
favor"
