GOOD CHANCE FOR A CREAMERY.

A st. Paul Company Ready to Take Hold
of Such an Enterprise.
j. G. Richer & Co. have been very
active this spring in an effort to secure
a creamery for Hot Springs, and have
had considerable correspondence upon
the subject with eastern firms. Their
last letter, in response to one from
them, is as follows:
ST. PAUL, MINI, May 81, 1897.
j. G. Richer & Co.,
Hot Springs, s. ID.
Gentlemen:-Yours received in re-.
gard to a creamery at Hot Springs, and
we think ourselves that it would pay to
have some creameries out in that ter
ritory. 800 to $50 cows within a radius
of five or six miles would make a basis
for good creamery.
Now what we would like to know is.
the standing of the farmers who would
go into the creamery business. If we
could get some 25 or 80 to go into it, we
would come there and raise a contract.
giving them time to pay for the cream
cry, providing they would give us a
joint note for the amount.

to $500. This would put up first
class creamery with the very best make
OF the latest machinery. Or if you
think we could get a cash contract
there, we would come out and try that.
But we would like to hear from you
first before We send man out there.
Yours Very Truly,
F. B. FARGO & Co.
Now IL those interested in this sub
ject will inform Richer & Co. as to
what they will do it is probable that
first class creamery may be located
here. We have before now shown the
benefits that accrue from q good
creamery and it seems to us that this
is an opportunity that should not be
neglected.

We shall not print the letter from
the Cascade party, but will state that
he advised the sick man to correspond
with an eastern patent medicine house
that could probably help him, and he
might thus stay at home and save his
money. Great advice that, from aresi.
dent of Fall River county.
The last paragraph of letter quoted,
asking about baths, rates, etc. is a re-
minder that not hotel or bath house
is carrying an ad. in the STAR, when in
fact no business in Hot Springs should
be more thoroughly and iberally ad-
vertised. The STAR has frequent in
qniries similar to this one and many
requests for sample copies of the paper.
We are always glad to furnish any in
formation at our command concerning
the bath houses, hotels, etc., but it is
rather discouraging to do SO when
there isn't line of advertising in the
paper concerning those places. We
are always glad to say good words for
any of Hot Springs hotels aud baths
and always do-and no doubt we have
as many opportunities to do free ad.
vertising as any one else-but we do
love reciprocity. We have digressed
from the main point of this article
and hope that the hotel and bath house
people may see our reason for it-they
should patronize the newspaper.

Object to Use of Barnes History.

The G. A. r. Posts of the state have
taken up the cudgel against the use
of Barnes history of the United States.
They protest that the history is inac-
curate and perverted so far as it re-
lates to the war of the rebellion. The
Buffalo Gap post selected q committee
consisting of Capt. A. X. Mills, John
Eastman and w. j. loops, all residents
of this county, to be present at the
meeting of the county board of educa-
tion on the 9Th to protest against the
adoption of those histories. A similar
committee was appointed from the
post of this city, consisting of N. @.
Whitfield, A. G. Cleveland, j. B. Harris,
Frank Fawcette, John Farquhar and
Capt. Lucas. These committees we're
on hand Tuesday afternoon but as the
board had adjourned they will present

somebody Better Watch Out.

The STAR has received letter from
a subscriber in the eastern part of the
state that is something of surprise to
us for we supposed every one was 10y
al to their town. 1t particularly re-
fers to Cascade, but is also detrimental
to Hot Springs. We quote part of
one of the letters, ommitting all names
with the hope that the one who sought
to discourage the health seeker from
coming may not do so again. The let
ter to the STAR says:
"a friend of mine residing here wrote
to the Carlsbad Springs Company ask
ing certain information in regard to
their waters, but it seems that
has taken it upon himself to open and
answer the letter for the company, and
it also looks to me that he is not doing
quite the right thing in advising peo.
pie to stay at home. This man (who
wanted to come there) did not state in
his letter whether he had much or
little money to spend. If he goes he
must certainly provide himself with
money for the necessary expenses, and
that is all the company gets out of any
patient. enclose the letter from -
-, of Cascade, SO you can see for
yourself. 1 have advised Mr..
--t to go to Hot Springs.
Would you kindly send me some
data in regard to the necessary expen-
ses, cost Of baths, board, etc. Please
let me hear from you soon, aad oblige,

THE BANQUET,

The banquet given by the juniors in
honor of the graduates followed the
exercises in the opera house and was
spread in the dining hall of the Evans.
1t was most delightful affair and
eighty-five people assembled at the
festal board to lend good cheer. The
banqueters were arranged in form in
the hall leading to the dining room,
at the head of which was DIR. Hargens
and wife, followed by Prof. Moore and
wife heading the graduates, then Mrs.
Walker with the juniors and chorus.
followed by the speakers and citizens
In this manner they went to the tables
accompanied by music by Sackette's
orchestra. President Lymer invoked
a blessing and all sat down to sump.
tuous feast. A glance around the
board revealed many pretty costumes
which, with floral house decorations
made beautiful scene.
After the courses were disposed OF
satisfactorily to all Toastmaster Har.
gems let loose few wise remarks
convulsed the diners and made things
easy for those who followed.
Mayor Anderson then responded to
to the toast, "The Duty of the City to
Our High School," which was neat and
apropos.
Prof. Moore paid glowing tribute
to the school in his response to sOur
! High School,"
Miss Shumate responded daintily to
''The Teacher" which she lighted up
with several amusing incidents of
school teacher experience.
"Our Alumni" was the toast to which
Miss Harriet Cummings responded in
behalf of the graduated class.
This completed the pleasure at the
board and dancing on the veranda was
made the amusement for time, after
which all went home and will long re,
member the occasion with especial de-
light.

a public school which was credit to it
and he took pleasure in presenting to
the president of the board of education,
the city's representative, the schools
first graduates.
DIR. G. w. Hargens, president of the
board of education, then presented each
members of the class with diploma,
signifying their graduation. The doc
tor was very happy in his remarks, COM
plimenting each member upon reach
ing the commencement field of life, so
we'll fitted to face and graple with the
problems of life and wishing them
all every success. The doctor modestly
waXed eloquent in his remarks to the
class.
The chorus sang another number
which was heartily received-"O, Soft
~ Rise Bright Summer Moon"
The address to the class was given
by Rev. A. A. Brown, who sought to
impress the worth of sterling manhood
and womanliness, even daring to be
poor and support their convictions of
right and honesty, rather than subject
themselves to the loss of their individ-
uality for few pieces of silver. He
laid particular stress upon the value of
the public school as medium of bring.
ing together all classes, the rich and
the poor, thereby better fitting them
for the realities of life.
The benediction was then pronounced
by Rev. B. F. Pearson.
One of the features of the program
was the excellent work of the chorus,
which was trained in the main by Mrs.
Walker. The singing was very COM
mendable.
Much of the success of the exercises,
and the fitting of the class for gradu-
alton, is in no small measure due to
Miss Shumate, assistant principal.
The entire exercises were decidedly
interesting, and fiattering indeed to
all participants, and to those who we're
in any way responsible for these de-
lightful commencement exercises.

Singing for Health.
Selected.

Selected.
Singing is highly recommended as a
nerve tonic, and justly. It is noticea-
BILE that birds are silent when they are
sad, unless they can be coaxed to sing
they pine away. Human will and
reason can rise superior TO inclination,
and force from the very talons of dis
tress that with which to conquer it.
When the world looks bleak and affairs
go wrong sing The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" at the full compass Of your voice.
If you sing it every morning the neigh
bors will become used to it. Plaintlve
songs are not to be encouraged unless
one has surplus vitality to get RID of it !;
but no matter how much or how little
voice you have, let it out in ballad or
carol now and then, or join the church
choral society to improve your spirits,
both by the social exercise and the So
cial intercourse with healthy and ac-
tive persons. All social gatherings
where early hours are kept are benefi-
clal. If, as great psychologist declares,
"happiness is health" we need to go
where enjoyment is and catch some OF
it when we feel like lmmersing our
selves in solitude and nursing our mis-
cry.

How Wesley Spoiled His Sermon.
The RAMS Horn.

The RAMS Horn,
A farmer once went 60 hear John
Wesley preach. The preacher sad he
would take up three topics of thought f;
he was talking chiefly about money.
His first head was. "Get all you can, -
The farmer nudged his neighbor and
said: "That man has got something
in him it is admirable preaching"
Wesley reached his second division,
"Save all you can." The farmer be-
came quite excited. "Was there ever
anything like this ?" he said.
The preacher denounced thriftless-
ness and waste, and the farmer rubbed
his hands as he thought, Cali this haye
| been taught from my youth, up
And, what with getting and with
boarding, it seemed to him that "salva-
ton" had come to his house.
But Wesley advanced to his third
head, which was, "Give all you can."

Care Of Footwear.

Boot and Shoe Recorder.
Take care of your shoes-a little care
costs nothing, is so easy. makes them
last longer and look better. It pays
to have two pairs of shoes, and wear
each every other day-th1s way they
never become perspiration soaked and
they last much longer and the wearer
is healthier. If the feet perspire,
sprinkle little powdered burnt alum
in the stocking. Perspiration rots
leather. Don't allow any acids Or salt
liquids to touch your shoes-acid
burns and salt rots the leather. When
the shoes are wet, dry 'em slowly
don't put 'em on the stove, in the ov-
en-, on the register or radiator; don't
put them near the heat-let them dry
by themselves too much heat seams
the leather and cracks the life out of
1.-THE shoes will crumble. Sweet oil
rubbed on shoes when dry will soften
the leather. If black shoes have red
dish or musty color, apply sweet oil and
the color will soon come back. When
using dressing or blacking use the least
you can7you will have more luster-
the shoes wear longer. Always keep
the heels straight--this relieves the
strain and makes the shoes fit the rub
bers better and keeps the rubber from
wearing out at the heel. Don't let the
sole become far gone before repairing.
Don't have stiff soles put on because
they are cheaper. The uppers are
not as good as new, and will not stand
the strain. When taking off the shoes
use the hand and not the foot. Unlace
shoes all the way down-there' be no
taking off and putting On strain.
Button shoes should be buttoned
up whether On the foot or off-that
keeps the shape. When you put your
shoes away Tor next seasons wear stuff
them full of cotton batting, pressing 1t
IN as hard as you can. That Will keep
them from curling up. Don't put rub
bers away with leather goods, as the
leather oil Will blister the rubbe. Pat
ent leather shoes will be kept in a
warm place. Don't put them on when
they are cold. In cold weather look
out for them, and don't go out doors
until they have been on Is minutes.
Braids on the button of the skirt wear
out shoes more than yelveteen. AL
ways have shoes long enough-short
ones hurt the feet-throw the shoes
out of shape-force the upper from the
'ole. When buttoning a shoe, don't

How Much Should we Smile?

mother tries constantly to imprint il
upon her children's faces. Every one
agrees that certain kindness and char
ity should beam forth from the eye
yet the lace which wears a perpetual
smile is usually weak one, always q
tiresome one. Its owner seems always
to have been reading only the "humor.
Gus pages" skimming only the surface
thinking only of amusement, and new.
er to have buckled down to the real
battle of life. 1t Is only honest effort
in this struggle which entities a man to
respect, and be- must wear some sign
of having engaged in it before casual
acquaintance can esteem him. It is
hardly possible to smile all the time
without appearing more or less silly
and as though one appreciated little oi
the true meaning OF existence.
One of the most distinguished musi-
clans in a certain large city, who has
done really fine work and ought to
stand among the first half-dozen in
America In his calling, is undervalued
and lightly spoken of by his associates.
He wears perpetual smile and many
have attributed to this cause his failure
to win the place which he deserves.
A lady in speaking OF two brothers,
remarked that one of them was socially
far inferior to the other.
"Theron enters room with per-
fectly serious look on his face" she
said, "and everybody wants to know
him at once and longs to see his rare
smile Then comes Harry, smirking
and grinning, and nobody has any in
terest in him whatever. Yet Harry is
a fine fellow, and if he would only cul-
tivate more dignity he might be as
popular and as much sought after by
the best people as Theron"
Amiabillty and evenness Of temper
are among the most essential qualities
OF a sane character, but no man need
simper continually to demonstrate his
sweetness.
Ruskin says that all great generals
have been serious men, and Emerson
affirms the same of all great orators.

Of the wittiest men who ever lived,

| How thrilling to reccgize the power
of thought and our share in it. Wher
first we come to realize that we haye an
identity of our own we eagerly seek out
other peoples ideas an d take them to
ourselves as part of our mental and
spiritual outfit but as years go by and
our individuality becomes more decid-
ed, coyly at first ideas Of our own force
themselves upon us, based upon other
ideas that we have learned. Let us
never close our minds, against these
ideas originating within for 80 long as
humanity lasts and SO long as each
human brain differs from every other
one new ideas have right to life and
there is no reason why your idea and
mine should not have in it prevailing
power. However, to know how ideas
originate is to understand all the mys-
terles of our mlnds-and that under
standing is not yet. We can merely
say that they are the evidence of ORR
ginality in a man and that as far as
the ideas are new he is creator. 1
repeat again, how thrilling to have
share in the world of ideas ana to be
welding Ideas of our own with broad
and useful purpose. What we call
public opinion-a most mysterious and
fantastic thing,-passes through Its
vagaries because OF this operation of
ideas. The strange swayings of the
public mind are exlpicable only by
understanding how an idea operates
from individual with a power that will
not be denied.
The Scriptures tell us that no man
should think more highly of himself
than he ought to think, from which we
may certainly deduce that no man
should think less of himself than he
ought to think and that he should so
himself as to associate his
mind only with ideas that have the
benefit and gain of the human race
up in them.
