No Money Famine.
Secretary McA'doo’s recent an
nouncement giving the results of
direct loans to banks at crop
moving time last fall, with inter
est at 2 per cent, shows a small- !
er demand than it was generally
supposed there would be. On
ly $37,386,000 was taken, this
amount being loaned to 193 J
banks in twenty eight states.
These loans have all been J
repaid, the interest on the
same being $260,000, reprsent- j
ing that much clear profit to the
government. This indicates an
ability on the part of the banks
of the agricultural states to
meet the requirements of the
large volume of business inci
dental to crop moving period
greater than it was generally
thought they possessed, as oth
erwise the low rate on interest
charged would have caused a
heavier demand upon the treas
ury.—Houston Post.
The announcement indicates
something more. It indicates
that there was no money famine,
other than that which was at
tempted by the money kings of
Wall street, who sought to bring
about a panic for the purpose of
it from, enacting the then pend
coercing congress, and preventing j
ing financial legislation. Under j
ordinary circumstances Wall j
street would have succeeded in
putting one over on the country,
as it has often done before. Sec- j
retary McAdoo’s offer of f unds j
to move the crops, to the extent j
of $200,000,000, was laughed at |
by the “gombeen” men, or the

at them with the announcement j
that if $200,000,000 was not i
enough, he had $500,000,000 al- :
ready printed, and ready for dis- !
tribution. This brought the j
money trust to its senses, and it
hastened to deny that it wa^ in
a conspiracy to corner the money
market.
The announcement indicates
something more. It shows that
organized rapacity and corporate
greed present a terrifying as
pect to the individual; but when
the people, through their gov
ernment, rise up, they are big
ger and greater than any com
bination of special interests, and
they are able to brush them a
side. The lesson which Secretary
McAdoo taught the country is
one of the the most valuable that
it has learned in many years. It
has given people confidence in
themselves and in their govern
ment, and it has shown how very
poor and weak special or partic
ular interests are when they are
compelled to measure strength
with the whole people.—Mem

W ould Enjoin Publisher.
Fort Smith, April 19.— The
sovereign grand lodge of the In
ternational Order of Odd Fel
lows filed suit in the United
States court here yesterday
against A. C. Veach of Gravette,
Ark., publisher of the “Sover
eign Odd Fellow,” asking the
'court to issue an injunction re
straining the defendant from
further publication of the organ.
The suit charges that it is
claimed by the publisher that the
“Sovereign Odd Fellow” is an
official organ of the lodge.
This the petitioners dispute.
They allege that Veach is not a
member of the lodge and that
his writings are in direct con
flict with the teachings of the
Odd Fellows in that he attacks
jthe Catholic church in his publi
cation. This, the suit says, is
not countenanced by the lodge's
ritual. Damages in the sum of
•$•5,000 are claimed.

Humility First.
We shall never be the "light of the
world” except on condition of being
the "salt of the earth * You have to
do the humble, Inconspicuous, silent
work of checking corruption by a pure
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light into
;he darkness, and so drawing men to
Christ himself.—Alexander McLaren.
Plan “White Way”
The suggestion that the city
install a “white why” system of
lighting as a part of its contribu
tion to the business street pav
ing district was discussed at an
informal conference of the pav
ing commissioners and members
of the city council yesterday af
ternoon. The council, when the
paving district was organized,
agreed to pay one-third the cost
of the work, and the commis
sioners intimated yesterday that
so large a contribution might
not be necessary and they
thought it might be well to in
stall a new street lighting sys
tem in the business district be
fore the paving is begun. No
definite action, however, was ta
ken on the proposition. Super
intendent Leverett said today
that a “white way” lighting sys
tem for the district would cost
about $2,500 to $3,000.
The commissioners are meet
ing again this afternoon and will
possibly announce the award of
a contract for the paving today.

Another Election Called.
Jonesboro, April 20.—It is
expected that the new election at
Marked Tree will be a warm af
fair, the question at issue is
whether or not liquor license at
Marked Tree shall be reduced
lower than $20,000 annually for
operating a saloon. The old al
dermen raised the license to $20,
uuu alter license naa oeen again
petitioned into that town and
the wets are seeking to elect
four aldermen that will favor
the reduction of license so sa
loons my again ope there. As
it is now no saloon has taken out
license since the first of this
year, on account of the high li
cense.
Must Never Drink Again.
Homer O’Neal, convicted for
j second degree murder has been
pardoned from serving a term of
five years on condition that he
never resume the drink habit
nor ever again be arrested
for any charge. The pardon was
urged in a petition signed by
many citizens of Jackson county
and also by Dr. J. L. Greene, su
perintendent of the Hospital for
Nervous Diseases.

! FAST TRIP THROUGH BRITAIN
: itinerary Enables Tourist, !f Hs
Wishes, to “Do" the Islands In
the Course of Seven Days.
How to “do” the British Isles in a
week is the latest scheme for hustlers.
A dash around London, a flying de
scent on one or two cathedral cities,
a race through Scotland and a glance
at Killarney—this what is open to
those who want to see the country
In a hurry. Tourist agents say that
the idea is catching on with Ameri
cans. Indeed it ws', an American who
first suggested It.
Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday, he devotes that
day to the show places of London,
winding up with a theater in the eve
ning. On Thursday he goes to Wind
sor and Hampton Court and on hie
return to London has time to go to a
music hall. On Wednesday he leaves
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three
o’clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minster and other
historic buildings before catching the
6:15 train to Hamburgh. He eoaches
through the Trossachs and takes
steamer through Loch Katrine and
Loch Lomond. Then the train to
Glasgow.
After dinner the hustler takes the
night train out of Glasgow by way of
Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin
in the afternoon and takes the night
train to Killarney.
WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Wae
Complete, but Could by No Meant
Be Called Complimentary.
Stephen Haegen, manager of a
Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation in a
city in the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in a bank. While
there he saw a severe-looklng woman
move up to the teller’s window and
rnmiDst that a small chock he cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would iden
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: “She
looked like the crankiest person in
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about five years ago. I
think she is an old cat. She wore a
blue straw hat, but then it may be
green, and I think she paints. She
wore two fake diamond rings. Good
by, old man.’’
I
Tree-Bark Blankets.
They have trees for blankets In
Ecuador, and they like them, too.
They are fond of the firm touch of
the bark against them as they
sleep.
We would probably think they
were “zero In covering," and we
would doubtless wake up in a much
, bestiffened condition if we Blept under
a wood covering.
But the native Indians are most
enthusiastic, according to J. Jame
son, a traveler and lecturer, who
has recently returned from those
parts.
The blankets are made from the
bark of a tree which Is cut particular
ly thin. It is pounded and moistened
and then pounded some more and put
out into the sun to dry. And a most
desirable and economical blanket It Is,
lasting anywheres from two to five
years.

“His Goose Is Cooked.”
The expression, "his goose Is cook
ed,” appears in various forms, and
means that his causa is ruined. It
has some reference to the common
but erroneous opinion that “goose” is
synonymous with “fool.” The idea
has crept into more than one language
and “will not down.” It is generally
understood that “cooking his goose" is
a phrase which originated when the
king of Sweden, on approaching a hos
tile town, excited the contempt of the
inhabitants by the smallness of his
army. To express this they hung out
a goose for him to shoot at, whereup
on the king set fire to the town to
“cook their goose.”
Proved Truth of Answer.
On a visit to St. Louis, Archbishop
Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate,
rode in a carriage to the parochial
residence with Bishop Glennon, who Is
rather diminutive in size and of slight
build, especially in the stomachlo re
gions, while Archbishop Ryan is tall
and very robust. As they alighted from
the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said to
his companion: “Bishop Glennon, I
once was asked to explain the differ
ence between a bishop and an arch
bishop. I answered” (and the arch
bishop extended his arms in a semi
circle from his own healthy body, at
the same time glancing rather sharply
at Bishop Glennon), ‘“The difference
Is all in the arch.’ ”

“All right,” said Cbollie, as he

“Not on your life,” said Chollte.
I “Under the Sherman act your daugh
ter and I were about to swap vows,

And the old man was so pleased
that he relented and the next day the

“Clean Up the Bowels and
Keep Them Clean”
There are many remedies to be
had for constipation, but the diffi
culty is to procure one that acts
without violence. A remedy tfut
does not perform
by force what
should be accom
plished by persua
sion is L)r. Miles*
Laxative Tablets.
Alter using them,
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
3 I S Washington
St; Waco, Tex,
says:
"Almost all my
life I have been
troubled with constipation, and have
tried many remedies, all of which
seemed to cause pain without giving
much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles’
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action is pleasant and
mild, and their chocolate taste makes
them easy to take. I am more than
glad to recommend them."
“Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean," is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. I)o not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using in
the past. They taste like candy
and work like a charm. A-~«*(
will convince you.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents
a box containing doses. If not
found satisfactory after trial, re
turn the box to your druggist and
he will return your money. i«
