Kditor Timbs: In a recent editorial you state that the attendance of the economic world is 'nwrd governmental control of monopolies. Excuse my sycophancy, but T have compared it with other editorials and must admit it excelled them in clearness upon the same subject. T love good literature and And happiness in studying the world I live in. ever hoping I may be able to write a book beneficial to humanity. For the benefit of you and Thb Timsb readers I wish to quote a Chinese statesmen of the eleventh century. AVang An Shih: "The eate should take the entire management of commerce, industry, and agriculture into its own hands, with a view to succoring the working classes and preventing their being ground to the dust by the rich." The following is a poem by a Chinese statesman, known as the "Bismark of Asia" and said tc have been the richest n-.an in the world: " 'TwouM please, me, gods, if you would spare Mine eyes from all this hungry- store That fills the face and eyes of men "Who search for food o'er hill and glen."

Doctors and Eye Specialists Agree That Bon-Opto Strengthens Eyesight 50

Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that Doctors and Kye Specialists now agree there lsj real hope and help for ttiem. Many whose e were railing my they have hac their eyes restored snd many who once wore piassma say tney have thrown them away. One t.ian save, after using- it: 'I was ali:.o.t blind. Could not see to read at ali. Now I can read everything wtth--ur my s'asses, and my eves an not hurt any more. At niaht thev would jain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A ladjf,- who used it says: "The atmosphere aeemed hsy with or without glassea. but after uafng- this prescription fvi titeen days everything- seems riear. I can read even fine print without glasses." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by ovsnrork, tired ey whirh induced fierce headaches. I have worn classes for everl years, bo-h for dis tance, and vc,"k, and without them I ould not read my own name on an envelope or tne typewriting on the. machine before me.

I can count the fluttering- leaves on the' trees across the street now, which for several years) have looked like a dim g-reen blur to me. I cannot express my Joy at what It has done for me." It is beliiived that thousands who ear grlasses can now discard them in a reasonable time, and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes to as to be spared the. trouble and'expense of ever getting pTases.

This can be done very nicely in central south Arkansas, where there are a great many plantations ready for cultivation, but will not be utilized on account of the shortage of labor. Insilage' can be stored in this region at from two to three dollars a ton. composed of cow peas, corn and sorgum, making a feed seond to none, and will keep hogs and cattle fit at all times for market, buy native stock with a good strain of blood, that will -withstand the climate there without housing.

The high winds of this locality are responsible largely for this conclusion on the -part of the general commitee. As a result, the tent will be sold or returned and its niaoe taken by a j wooden structure of the sanie size, 4r I x0 feet. It is undestood that the j same floor will be used.
