Stagnation In All Countries, Hot
Insuring This Security.
One of the most important
questions of the day relates to
the extent to which a govern
ment should interfere in the af
fairs of business. The success
ful man has always had to run
the risk of attack. a Safety from
unreasonable interference by
government or attack by others
leads the ambitious man on to
his greatest exertions.tin some
countries, as in parts of Asia,
government rapacity - has made
it dangerous for a man to ac
quire anything beyond his bare
necessities. In such a society,
nothing but poverty and busi
ness stagnation can exist.
Governmental intervention in
the affairs of business should
extend only over such things as
are necessary for fair publicity
and truthful statements. Under
such a government, business se
curity is at its best. Individual
ity and initiative are encour
aged; the country is progressive,
arid its future prosperity is well
guarded. But as soon as legis
lation begins to deprive the pro
ducer of a square deal, or where
business is “regulated” by peo
ple without the experience and
necessary training, business se
curity will be transformed Into
business depression. A govern
ment should be limited to its
natural functions of just and
reasonable legislation for the
greatest good of the greatest
number of people, and should
never show favors in order to
"catch votes” or to secure cam
paign contributions.
In addition to Certain-teed Roofing,
we also manufacture a complete line of
lower priced roofings, building papers,
shingles, sheathing, carpet linings, etc.,
put up in standard-sized rolls, packages
and weights. They are accepted as
standard by leading architects and engi
neers. Your local dealer will be pleased
to give you full information about our

Professor Recited Badly.
One day a college professor, going
to his class, came across one of hts
students who had Jest fallen down.
Asking him how ne fell, the student
replied, "Notwithstanding." Telling
the anecdote a short time later the
professor said: “I met Mr. Junior the
other day, and he made a very bright
remark. He had just fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how It
happened, he said, 'Nevertheless.* ”—

I Births Double Death Rate.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 7.—Accord
jing to the incomplete statistics
from about nine-tenths of the
registration districts in Arkan
sas, the Bureau of Vital Statis
tics estimates that the birth
rate is about sixty per cent
greater than the death rate in
Arkansas. As reported, there
were 10,849 births in the state
for the months of April, May,
June and July, and there were
only 6,029 deaths during the
! same period. .Some of the coun
ties, however, are very lax in
| their reports, only a small per
^cent* of the districts having
jmade any report at all. Until
all report, the statistics can be
of only small value. There are
j fourteen districts in Jackson
county, and of these twelve are
reported, returning 212 births,
and 110 deaths. The Bureau is
yaking every effort to induce
all the registrars to report so
that the statistics may be com
plete. 4

How Continental Performers
Are Engaged by this Popu
lar American Institution
When the average American
is seeking a place near the stove
in winter, the agents of the big
tented shows are working in
dustriously engaging acts for
the season, which comes with
spring. This part of the amuse
ment world is one with which
the public is not familiar. A lit
tle look into that cranny proves
interesting.
November marks the close of
the season for tented attrac
tions like Gentry Brothers’ Fa
mous Shows, which will visit
this city next Frday, September
11th. When the last wheel of
the trains stop at winter quar
ters the organization of the
show for the succeeding season
begins.
Trainers get busy framing
new features. A showman,
whose judgment has been dem
onstrated, at once goes to Eu
rope. He makes a careful can
vass of the music halls and vau
deville theatres. For months he
is acquainting himself with the
novelties that are delighting au
diences on ,the other side.
After deciding which of the
thousands of acts he sees will
most delight the American show
patron he makes engagements.

Apple Growers Not Worrying.
With an apple crop surpassing
that of any previous year, Ben
ton and Washington, as well as
adjoining counties, are this year
worrying little about the Euro
pean war, yet they are losing
money every day because of rul
ings by the Department of Ag
riculture, which seems to be out
of reason.
There is always a large per
centage of the crop that falls
from the trees, and which will
not be accepted for shipment.
There are several grades of
these refuse apples. The cheap
est sells for 15 and 20 cents
npr hnnHrprl nnnnHs nnr? is licorl
for vinegar tock. The. next
grade sells for 25 and 30 cents
per hundred and is used for pre
serving, for brandy and for
evaporation. A recent ruling of
the government has about stop
ped the sale of the cheaper
grade, because nothing can be
worked into vinegar or brandy
that is not 75 per cent sound
when delivered at the vats.
It is pointed out by the chem
ists at the vinegar factories that
an apple whch is ground up and
permitted to ferment in the vats
before it can be made into bran
dy goes through the same pro
cess of decomposition that an
apple does when rotting in the
field, is as clean and wholesome
as one which has been ground
up and permitted to go through
the same process in a vat. The
ruling will cause the orchardists i
to lose much money this year.
