Pays Old Debt

Our good friend, DR.. Tom Johnson,
gave us this one few days ago. DR..
johnson has no idea Of cOurting pub
licity by so doing, but the story is
such good one we cannot forego the
privilege of giving it to you just as
DR.. Johnson gave it to us.
Twenty years ago while DR. John
son was living on his farm in Ran
dolph county and doing an enormous
practice in that locality he came in
from drive one cold, snowy evening
and was informed by his wife that
there were two calls waiting for him
one to go near Pocahontas to see
lady who was sick The person
leaving the call stated that the woman
had the money to pay for the visit I;
another was to go to see the son of a
widow lady who had broken his arm
There was no money to pay for this
call and DIR. Johnson knew it. His
wife asked him which call he would
make and he stated that IL the lady
had the money to pay for the visit
that she could get another doctor ;
but that there was no one who would
visit the boy and set his arm so he
would call on the boy. After the Doc
tor had set the boys arm the boy
thanked him and DR.. johnson said to
him: That's all right, son, but when
you have grown up to be a great big
man and making money, you will owe
me ten dollars" The years went by
twenty of them-and the boy grew to
be a man. He served in the World
War and did his bit for his country,
and returned home. Last Sunday he
called at DR.. Johnston's home and
asked the Doctor to take a ride with
him. After they had gotten out on
the road he told the Doctor about the
incident of twenty years ago and paid
him the ten dollars. Truly the young
man is made of the right kind of stuff
and il is honesty Of this kind which
win win out in the long battle of life.

CITIZEN OBJECTS
TO MOVING FENCE

To the Pocahontas Star Herald, IN
reply to County Judge Million ON MS
Public Road Order, record l, page
$40:
The farmers at present are over
worked without working on the fences
setting them back so the roads VIII De
30 feet wide. / and the citizens Oh
my community agree that 3OIooe
road is wide enough.
1t looks like G. w. Million is up %
the big fellows. They know how TO
run cars, bank robbers and boot leg
gers. They need wide roads. The
poor farmer can pass another easily
on 30-foot road. The joy-riders are
a menace to the world.
The poor farmers in Randolph c0un-
ty need all the land to support their
families but It looks like G. w. Mil
lion wants to make the whole OF Ran
dolph into roads. We all say this Is
ridiculous law. II he will go ON
with this, brethren, watch the next
election and put in a judge that Is
working for the poor farmers. The
farmers are now in debt over heel and
head. He wants to draw the robe
tighter
Million thinks now is the time to
press them lower in the dust Breth-
rem, wake up. Fight against such a
nonsense law. Farmers are not slaves
yet. But If you want good roads hire
farmers to haul gravel on the roads
that will stay there. Save the oil
scraper. Look at the expenses they
make.
County expenses are out of reason
now. The roads the way they are
now are in good shape. Leave them
as they are. Yours truly,

Two Will Oppose Terral

With the advent of the year 1926
tomorrow, Arkansas will again be in
the throes of a heated campaign. Up
TO the time of the decision of the
special supreme court declaring the
adoption of constitutional amendment
No. IL, this year, increasing the mem
Dership OF the supreme court from five
to seven judges, off years I'm Arkansas
POLITICALLY were tame affairs, and pri-
maries were merely a matter Of form
as candidates were applying for second
terms but the year 1926 will be entirely
different on account of the selection Of
the additional supreme court judges.
Another unexpected feature OF the
1875 campaign will be the gubernator-
ial contest Gov. Terral has announc-
ed his candidacy for another term.
but 1t is known he will have strenuous
opposition for reelection. Senator w
III. Arlington, of White county, has al
ready announced his opposition 20 the
governor Chancellor John u. Mar
tineau, of Little Rock who made tho
race last Democratic state primary.
has stated that he will let his in
tention be known shortly affer the
Christmas holidays, but he also would
oppose Gov. Terral for reelection.
The two outstanding issues I'm the
guDernatOrial contest will be Gov. Ter
rails no pardon policy and proposed re-
lief to the Overburdened road district
taxes In number Of counties In the
state. The latter question will by far
eclipse any other issue that could nos
sibly be injected in the campaign.
Gov. TerraPs refusal to convene the
Legislature in special session to pass
some kind of remedial legislation has
caused much opposition to the gov
ernor in number of counties. while
on the other hand his refusal to CON
yene the special session has helped
him considerably I'm the majority OF
counties In Western and North wes-
tern Arkansas. The eastern part of
the state is practically of one mind
regarding special session They all
want it, saying that road relief legisla-
tiOn Is their only salvation and it
would work a great hardship If they
are compelled to wait until the 1927
legislature to give them relief. The
governors pardon and parole policies
have also caused much antagonism
from many sources, especially with a
large element of the judiciary, and 1t
is believed that the no parole attitude
will shortly be settled by the court.
The statutes provide for a parole sys-
tem but the governor has repudiated
it in its entirety

OLDFIELD TO INQUIRE
INTO COTTON TARIFF

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Further i'm
petus was given the Democratic move
ment for revision OF the tariff with the
introduction of resolution recently by
Representative Oldfeld, of Arkansas,
chairman Of the Democratic congress
sional campaign committee, calling for
an investigation Of the present cotton
schedules.
The Democratic whip already has
asked for repeal OF the duty on coal
imported from Canada. He said the cot
ton tariff resolution was prompted by
the situation in New England, where
profits in the textile industry were in
creasing while wages paid employees
were decreasing. He cited as a "strik-
ing example" the earnings of the
four cotton mills Of which Chairman
William NJ. Butler, of the Republican
national committee, is president" and
asking that a special committee of
Eve members Of the House be appoint
ed to look into the situation.
The resolution is as follows: "Re-
solved, That a special committee of FIVE
members of the House of Representa-
tives, to be appointed by the Speaker,
is hereby authorized and empowered
to investigate the cotton tariff sche-
dule; to ascertain the relative cost
Of production, and the amount of earn
ings and their distribution as between
the owners and employees; condition
of plants and state of productive effl-
'iency in the cotton textile industry
with a view to the adjustment Of the
cotton textile tariffs to n level of mo-
derate rates for revenue. Said com
mittee shall have leave to sit during
the sessions of the House shall be EN-
powered to send for persons, books,
and papers, shall be authorized to ad-
minister oaths to witnesses. The ex-
penses of said investigation to be paid
out of the contingent fund of the
House. Said committee shall report
full facts and findings within sixty
days hereafter to the House of Repre-
sentatives"
The resolution asking for a repeal Of
the provision imposing a customs duty
on coal is as follows: "A bill to repeal
the provision imposing a customs duty
upon coal and coal compositions used
for fuel imported from country which
imposes duty upon similar articles
when imported into such country from
the United States. BE it enacted by
the Senate and House of Representa- |
tives Of the United States of America |
in Congress assembled, that paragraph |
1913 of the Tariff Act OF 1922 is amend |
ed to read as follows: Par. 1913.
Coal, anthracite, btuminous, culm,
slack, and shale; coke; compositions
used for fuel in which coal or coal dust
IS the component material Of chief
value, whether in briquets or other
'orm.'

Turing the reign of one OF the
- dissolute kings of the old French
monarchy, great fete and pageant
was planned to amuse and entertain
the king and his courtiers. In one OF
the tableaux, it was necessary to have
a child represent q golden cupid. So
the child of one of the court attend
ants was selected for the part. He
was covered from head to foot with
gold leaf. The spectacle was grand
success and the little golden boy was
greatly admired. But unfortunately
he died a few hours later, as result
Of having his skin covered for hours
with an alright, waterproof cover
ing.
We all know that il we wear
rubber coat in the rain, when we take
it off it is apt to be as wet inside as
1t is outside. Many waterproof coat
has thus fallen under suspicion of not
being what the makers or the dealers
guaranteed it to be. Yet it was truly
waterproof and so kept moisture from
getting out as well as getting in.
The skin is something more than
covering for the body. 1t Is also
heat regulator and an important excre-
tory organ. If given fair chance, 1t
keeps the body at the same tempera-
ture. winter and summer. 1t also ex-
cretes large amount of water from
the body. If the pores of the skin
are choked up, then double work Is
thrown on the kidneys and If this
goes on for any long period Of time.
the kidneys are overworked and may
break down or be irritated. so as to
greatly interfere with their work.
In the summer when we sweat free

bodies is excreted by the skin, so that
the excretion from the kidney is small
In amount, highly concentrated and
dark in color In the winter. when we
perspire less, the kidney excretions
are large in amount, greatly diluted
and pale straw color. These varia-
tions, due to natural causes and en-
tirely normal, have caused many peo-
pie much uneasiness.
Why do we battle? To remove the
dirt and dried perspiration that would
otherwise clog our pores. We have
learned from race-old experience that
when the skin is kept clean we are
not as much affected by changes of
temperature. We are cooler in sum-
mer and warmer in winter and we are
less subject to chilling by sudden
change of temperature. The nearer
man lives to nature the less he needs
to battle. The more artificial our
lives, the more artificial means we
have to use to keep, our skins work
